Stewart Lee has a thing he does with hecklers that I love. Somebody will shout out that he isn't funny or whatever and he agrees. "I know, but what can I do? I haven't been funny for years, but I don't have another job. I agree it's awful. I'd stop but I'm contracted to complete the show." And he keeps on agreeing with them. They get sooooo mad at it too.
I would also appreciate it if you linked where this was said. I would also appreciate it if someone told me who Stewart Lee is. For I do not know. So... Hail Sithis.
Doesn’t sound very funny at all.. maybe he should just stick to the jokes and NOT acknowledging jackasses in his audience; you know, the ones who call themselves funny saying Hofstetter isn’t funny or whatever HOWEVER, they’d paid money to see him.. seems like Hofstetter wins either way
If you're not joking (and sorry for whooshing if you are), he has his most recent comedy special up on UA-cam called The Secret Optimist, which starts with that line (and so I assume this was a taping of that special).
Maybe its from people who saw Steve HATE BAIT a guy in another video , who didn't say anything wrong ? That was VERY disturbing behaviour on Steve's part.
Kudos to you! You, having to deal with these assholes, who think they’re in their own living rooms, was entertainment in itself! You handled them all beautifully, and it’s nice to see your audience was with you. 👏🏽
During that last clip, I was kinda hoping Steve would've said "oh, I'm the loser? Can a loser do this?" And signal the crowd to start cheering. They all would've done it and it would have been such a great way to vent some steam and humiliate those girls further.
Drunk unprepared people vs a sober, practiced, comedian. Narcissists vs comedian. They can’t win, but their mental state won’t allow them to accept that...
@@HandledToaster2 Thank you 😊 It's been 5 years since I've had a drink and almost 25 years since I put down the crack pipe! I also turn down all Narcotics. Not even when I broke my ankle and leg. They're just too addictive! Ten days worth would last me two days🙄 I had to drink on and off before I realized that I couldn't drink "normally" and that alchohol just wasn't something I could handle! Now I'm struggling to quit cigarettes and I will get there too! That leaves chocolate and weed and I have no plans to give those up😉
First time I've ever heard a comedian being called a "heckler" before! 3:54 The look on your face after you said this was pure smart-assed SMIRK! I don't think that she even realized that you had just verbally cut the legs out from under her! She had no response to that, other than "You think you're funny." I hope that she was drunk, because if not, I feel like we may have been making fun of someone with a learning disability, and nobody wants THAT to be the case.
I tried to adopt Steves persona on stage while working. I must say that when the "big boss" tells you to do something that you have already done and you tell them you've already done it. Your done and out. But it's fucking satisfyingly !! LOL
you are by far one of the funniest comics there is. also i know you are a baseball fan and it saddens me to say that Hank Aaron just passed away today :(
Hi i'm from France and i love your video :D And i wanted to say to you THANKS for subtitles, it's more easy for french or non english speaker to understand you. UA-cam show me your work and it's hilarious :D Again thanks a lot :D (excuse my english if i don't speak correctly, i try :D )
Omg I that last person was obnoxious!! Steve, you handled that perfectly!! im dead🤣😱 You legit asked them politely to stop and that was plain disrespectful to not only you but everyone else. But I've seen Your videos of hecklers getting owned so you must be used to it lol I'll be the person to share your videos!! Love your sarcasm, intelligence and wit!! your awesome!
I learned a suprising amount about Judaism. And apparently that information applies to other religions. _I do not know a lot abount religion._ I'm good at hailing Sithis. Hail Sithis.
That last woman was a terrible drunk, she should stick to something that makes her happy not angry in a way that nothing is her fault. That's how alcoholics talk because they are always the center of the universe. But you handled them fine, but just the same I'll have the King talk to them. Oops, sorry, that was just on South Park and I guess we really don't have a king.
I've had people say things about Americans, and me being American, were talking shit about me, because of me being American, and proceeding to say they aren't racist, when they were talking shit about Americans. I like how he handled, well all of them really but especially those people "joking" about Americans.
I'm sooo DEAD 😳😩😭🤣😂🤣😂 these people just set they asses up...n I 😍😍😍 YOUR comebacks...💯💪🏼👊🏼👋👋👋, Can't wait for NOV 2021...your comin' to My neck of the woods... CLEVELAND....😜
I’ve gotta wonder does it ever feel weird owning hecklers who say it’s their birthday? Like I’ve noticed you’re a bit more kind with hecklers once they say it’s their birthday.
I have to admit I'm curious about the rest of the answer about writing for collegehumor. I was watching collegehumor since their first couple years and I don't remember you working for them/didn't realize you were an original writer. Is there a link or recording to the rest of that question that anybody knows about? I'd appreciate it.
From 4:35 to 7:15 what happened? Was that earlier in his career or maybe he had been drinking or just off that night? Normally in every video, I see of Steve Dealing with hecklers he is much more collected and efficient when destroying hecklers but that video seems off like he was stumbling or having difficulty coming up with what he wanted to say back so I am curious what the cause is.
I’m starting to notice a theme... you pick up the water bottle, people get slayed ... your friends must shit themselves when you’re thirsty! When the apocalypse is over any plans to hit the uk?
Im Canadian and I 100% agree with what Steve said. Whoever said Canada has the friendliest people have clearly never been to Canada. My mother is the nicest person in the world meanwhile my “father” is an absolute ignorant piece of $$H!!T so Id say we are atleast 50/50 decent people and thats being modest
This is very true. IMO, the friendly Canadian stereotype is BS. As an American living in a part of Asia that has a pretty sizeable presence of Westerners, I've met several dozen Canadians. Just like Americans, Brits, Aussies, etc., some Canadians are cool, but I've also met a decent amount who were dirtbags. Over time, I've learned that prejudice is A-okay so long as it's directed at Americans.
Steve, has any of the heckling ever led to confrontations off stage after the show? Cuz I know that heckling irritates you, to put it mildly, but some of these people seem like they could cause a problem. Do you ever have to be escorted out by security?
I love you man. So quick off the top of the head come backs. I dream of being a stand up comedian. Done hundreds of open mic nights, crappy clubs, fail bombs, and applauded encores. I just love making people laugh. Even if it is at the expense of making me look like an ass. lol Comedy is subjective. You get it or you don't.. I appreciate you!

They paid to see an American that's true but they paid with Canadian money so the jokes on you!
😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥lmao
Deal

I'm thankful for hecklers making fools of themselves in front of Steve for our enjoyment
And in front of many others too. I bet it doesn't feel great.

@@waitwhat1029 100% he did
I really appreciated the lady that just raised her hand during that last bit. She is an absolute angel compared to those wacky hecklers.
She is still interrupting though, just polite heckle.
@@FatherDingo Nah, she just wanted to hear the story. I'd say she is just curiosu
Sometimes i wonder if the hecklers will ever learn. Probably not.
Hecklers can learn from their mistakes. The problem is DRUNK hecklers. You can't fix drunk.
Sometimes hecklers make the show. I mean I agree with you. But at the same time i love watching hecklers get owned lol
No way, there will always be entitled jackasses!
Someone in the room needed to try and be entertaining
@@CarlaHanson68 yeah you can't fix ignorant idiots because their arguments can't be countered because of the fact that they're non-existent
Steve is such a great comedic.
Damn, now ill never know why you're an optimist!
I just recently came across your material and man you are absolutely hilarious!!
If you're not joking (and sorry for whooshing if you are), he has his most recent comedy special up on UA-cam called The Secret Optimist, which starts with that line (and so I assume this was a taping of that special).
Instead; Now here is why I hate people
The three dislikes are probably that last girl and her friends. 😂
It's 4 more now so that's pretty much all the people insane enough to talk to her for longer than a minute.
Her only friends 😂
Maybe its from people who saw Steve HATE BAIT a guy in another video , who didn't say anything wrong ?
That was VERY disturbing behaviour on Steve's part.
They weren't her friends. They didn't know her.
Lets just remind everyone that it's comedy.
Whenever Steve takes a drink from his cup/bottle/etc. it's like the "so you have chosen death!" memes. You know sh** getting real! xD
Man, I absolutely love that, I'd never interrupt you intentionally, I'd probably just keep laughing until I have an asthma attack though.
That last “person”. Wow
The master of air quotes ^^^^
The very definition of entitlement. I guess she was at the Capitol, too.
You already know she had pronouns
He pays these people
@@JudgedMentalMusic no he doesn't
"STFU and leave." - That must have felt good after dealing with that bullshit 😅
Steve is the king of owning hecklers! 👍👍👏👏
Kudos to you! You, having to deal with these assholes, who think they’re in their own living rooms, was entertainment in itself!

People say I have wit, but when I see you, I know they're wrong. Keep up the good work! (and if I get to see you live, I'll shut the f up!)
You'd think by now people would have realized that heckling Steve is a bad idea.
You would think so but there will always be people who make the wrong decision and get mad at other people for the consequences.
at a lot of the places where he performs, alcohol is sold so as you may know, overly drunk people and intelligent thinking doesn't exist.
The tone of "cause i was talking about fucking films!" 🤣🤣
I feel like I've seen so many of your videos that only 2-3 of these I hadn't already seen, and I still dye laughing at them
The last party..., holy crap that was insane! 😆
Dude I don't agree with your politics but mad respect to you as a comedian. You're truly inspiring
Steve has made so much cash just re uploading heckler compilations lol fair play.
Absolute master of comedic timing
Drunk unprepared people vs a sober, practiced, comedian. Narcissists vs comedian. They can’t win, but their mental state won’t allow them to accept that...
Man that last woman was completely off her head. She was more annoying than a fly on speed
This is one of the reasons I no longer drink. I can honestly say that I have NEVER made a good decision while drunk 🥴
I don't know if you've kept this up for 9 more months but I just wanna say I really respect that decision.
I wish I could blame alcohol, I make terrible choices while sober lol
@@HandledToaster2 Thank you 😊 It's been 5 years since I've had a drink and almost 25 years since I put down the crack pipe! I also turn down all Narcotics. Not even when I broke my ankle and leg. They're just too addictive! Ten days worth would last me two days🙄

@@MamaLauren523 I'm really proud of that, Lauren. Takes a strong person to reject this stuff. I think you've earned the chocolate privileges though!
i know heckling is not a good thing but oh man i do enjoy seeing you deal with them idiots
That last woman cannot handle alcohol!
The last one looked like a real blast, lol. Hope the rest of the show went well.
Love the compilation! Thanks Steve!
These videos never get old ahaha 😂😂😂 so great
loving the part where you come back to the questions.

He says she has no friends, then she proves it through way of projection

Typical 3rd Grade schoolyard insult; "Where'd you get your hair cut?" OMG, I love this guy. XD
Steve is a legend 🤣🤣 Can’t wait to see him in person 🤩
I really hate when your videos end
They don't get it. He's not a class clown, he's actually intelligent - VERY intelligent.
you are by far one of the funniest comics there is.
also i know you are a baseball fan and it saddens me to say that Hank Aaron just passed away today :(
When Steve uploads a heckler video on your birthday! 1/22/02. Let’s go!
Hi i'm from France and i love your video :D And i wanted to say to you THANKS for subtitles, it's more easy for french or non english speaker to understand you.
UA-cam show me your work and it's hilarious :D Again thanks a lot :D
(excuse my english if i don't speak correctly, i try :D )
Your English beats my French👍
Edit: Your English is better than half the Americans I’ve met, now that I think about it. 😉

Beautifully done Steve lol!
"So to answer your question about being an optimist..." 😅😂🤣
Love the UA-cam channel!
I feel like the promoter/venue guest list is filled with people that never heard of him. Hecklers gravitate to this guy
What a compilation gem.❤😅
Youre the man bud.
Oh you don't have friends 😂😂😂
The way you handled the people at the end was brilliant!
Great stuff 😆 🤣 😂
Your comebacks are top notch.
The last part was professionally handled xD
Well played sir, please come back to Melbourne

How can people decide to go to a Steve Hofstetter comedy show and then HECKLE him?
After Covid would be great to see you at Just For Laughs in Montreal
I wanna know why he's an optimist!
Then just watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/JfMEIPLJyrk/v-deo.html Steve posted it 2 years ago.
I could watch hours of this stuff, some people are so dumb and all end up at you shows lmaoo. Any shows coming up in a covid restricted, Michigan? 😆
How often do you get heckled? It seems like every video of you I watch is just you responding to that. (Which is fine.)

Turn the tables and do "Owners Get Heckled" where you make fun of the comedy club's proprietor.
