In the decades following its 1998 release, Norm Macdonald often referred to the original “dirtier” cut of Dirty Work that was trimmed in favor of receiving a PG-13 rating. Though beloved by all (?) who’ve sampled its fetid, fishy, and freaky flavors, fans have long pondered what the liberated sensibilities of Macdonald, director Bob Saget, and co-writers Frank Sebastiano and Fred Wolf had in mind for unsuspecting audiences.
