Kyle Snyder It’s telling that you’re actively trying to rationalize ways to “properly” generalize about entire groups of people for no apparent reason. What’s the fucking point? I’m pretty sure that you just want to say something innocuous but stereotypical and then pretend to be all offended and victimized by the “woke” police when you’re inevitably called out. My question is: why do you want to generalize about an ethnic or racial minority group? Is this really the hill you’re looking to die on? Basically, I find that people who are so hung up on other people’s identities tend to have issues with said people. It’s similar to a guy like Mike pence. He seems so preoccupied with fighting against basic equality for LGTB+ people. I would not be surprised in the least if he turned out to be on the down-low. Would you?
I was at that show. It was my first time seeing Steve Hofstetter live after discovering him on UA-cam. I was so excited (he's one of my favorite comedians), but when that exchange happened I remember feeling ashamed and uncomfortable. Steve, on behalf of the Vancouverites who were enjoying your show, I apologize that you weren't treated with the respect and courtesy you deserve as an artist, both in the moment and after the fact. Kudos to you on how you handled the situation. I hope you'll consider returning to Vancouver in the future!
Saying Jews run everything is like saying all Canadians are polite. That's all you had to say to make it a little funny. I don't blame him for getting mad though. Totally understandable reaction. Jewish people gotta get sick of that shit.

Em Hu oh most definitely. I see in the LGBT+ community all the time. Whenever ace/aro/nonbinary/whatever discourse comes around and the community starts the split, homo/transphobes don’t even have to work hard to reduce it to crumbs, sometimes the community does it themselves. That’s why it’s so important that even with divides there’s a reminder to stay civil and more importantly, stay willing to defend each other when oppression does come around for the community. Once that’s done, the focus on intersectionality with activism starts to become a lot easier and progress gets made faster.
This is the reason I don't want to be famous (I don't really need to worry about since I'm not that funny). I have poor impulse control when dealing with stupid people. I would not have reacted appropriately to a death threat.

"That was your..thesis?" LOL You're a legend Stevo and you're always welcome to come back to Australia. Personally I don't understand the hatred some people have for Jews. I never understood it and I still don't. It never ceases to amaze me how divisive human beings can be. Because that's how I see people. Whatever their race or culture, to me they're all just people. And yet they treat each other like they're not even the same species. The absurdity of that blows my mind.

He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!" Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

@@thebigragu9952 that is a very Jewish thing to do... Jewish Sabbath services aren't about being told what to believe, it's about reading the Torah and then arguing about it.
stumbled on this video completely out of the blue. No clue who this guy is, he seems funny, doesn't even matter. I watched this whole video and subscribed just because I like the way this guy thinks like a logical human being. Hate has no place in the world. It might have gotten someone attention in the past, but the time has come for the world to heal. A simple video like this and most of the comments reaffirm that there are still good people, saying no to hate. Good job Steve. I can't wait to check out some of your other stuff now, and I'm coming from a place of respect before I even see if I think you're funny or not. Keep giving hate the middle finger.
whenever im feeling down or need to be cheered up i binge your heckler videos....they always remind me that my life might suck but at least im not as dumb as these idiots lmfao. Thank you for all that you do steve!!!
You are a great comedian, a quick witted human being and you know what you are talking about. That you use your knowledge and fame to spread anti hate as well makes you a hero! Don't ever change man!
As a Christian, I never understood hate towards Jews. Do people not understand the origins of the religion? The beginning of the Christian Bible is literally the Torah.
Omgoodness! So proud of you!!!!! Sorry you had to endure this bullshit, but thankful you handled it this way. You are an amazingly valuable human. 💜 you
I dont mind being corrected. I'm dyslexic so I have that issue. But at least hear my point as well. Its not to understand others. Try to travel in foreign countries, and giving the server a hard time for how they checked if you wanted water. Now everyone thinks your an ass and you have no water. Love your videos buddy, I'm going to drive 7 hrs to see you in Sydney bc.
As a Canadian I’m so sorry you had this experience in my country. Please know most of us are tolerant kind people. Please come back any time your welcome.
As an anti-religious person I have to say I love that quote, "I feel closer to god when I see someone laugh.", that is such a beautiful thought. I think that one doesn't even have to believe in a god to enjoy the sentiment.
I came to say I felt that quote was so inspiring too! I had no idea and it piques my interest in Judaism. Laughter is an amazing way to inspire people to be good, loving humans.
So your an atheist because saying your anti religion means that you hate all religions obviously I don’t think that’s what you meant but I’m just saying don’t phrase it like that
@@Adambobadam That's not necessarily true. One could be a thiest or polythiest and be anti-religion. Spirituality and organized religion are two different things: one is inherent in nature, the other is a construct of men.
Hey Steve! I love your work! I am so glad you're in this world, you make me laugh so much! I was a soldier in the U.S. Army Infantry. I was a mechanized infantryman. I served with people of all color, religions and nationalities, yes there is a significant portion of the U.S. Armed Forces that are not citizens yet. They are serving to earn their citizenship. We are so lucky to have them with us too! Having said that, I developed a deep love for diversity and I believe it makes us great. I stand for everything nazis want to destroy. I despise them, which is an understatement but I'm trying not to be vulgar. Keep doing what you're doing. I can't wait to see you in Wilmington, NC. At least I hope to see you here some day! Thank you for being you!
Same thing happened to me. Mechanized infantry in the first armored division. I went into the army a racist, but the exposure to black people and immigrants me me realize that they're just people as well. Not the stereotypes I'd heard about.
Thank you for your service Mr Samuel Roberts!! I think you meant to say that you “stand AGAINST everything the nazis want to destroy”. I’m sure you didn’t want to say that you stand “for” it.
There's a German saying "If there is a table with 10 people and a Nazi seats and no one gets up, there is a teble with 11 nazis". I think that's enough said. There is no excuses. I really don't get hating people cuz of their ethnicity, country of orign. sexual orientation, gender identity. And it goes both ways, I'm pro Palestine, hate Anti-Semitism. I was born in Brazil, my grand father was German, my whole family is from Portugal. Anyway...
in 1986 i asked a friend at school wether he was Jewish (Jewish name, Davids star around his neck) just out of curiousity, not that i ever had a problem of anyone being of whatever origin, colour sexual preference or belief. It made me sad and almost cry that he did not dare to acknowledge that because he was afraid of what my reaction would be. No one should have to endure that feeling. Ever.
At my friend's church the pastor, who is my friend's dad, regularly jokes around. Sometimes he goes a little too far with a joke and people will hold up the yellow prayer cards like it's a soccer match. They're a fun bunch.
I give you so much credit Steve. You are always so good with the hecklers and this time is no different. Thank you for being funny and promoting truth.
I think you have handled all of this bullshit beautifully! I Love your comedy and I Love you standing up for what you believe in. Makes you an even better role model for ginger kids!! As soon as my little ginger niece can read, she’s definitely getting your book. Keep standing strong Steve, You and Walter stay safe and know that those of us who have common sense and know what’s right stand with you!
I'm listening, and I don't like listening. You are an awesome comedian and proud of your views. I'm in such a bind with life, if I had money to come out and see you, I would and absolutely enjoy it. You are the shit Steve. Also, when I do become depressed in certain situations, I do tend to watch your videos and get a good laugh out of your stand up itself and the hecklers. Keep it up man.\ And thank you.
"Ooh crime!" Sums up most smaller neighborhoods I imagine. In my town, a single 911 call warrants a fleet of not just police, but ambulances and fire trucks as well.
I've liked your UA-cam videos for z while now but after seeing this I'm legit subscribing. Big respect for you!! Always stand up for what you believe in and do not let people disrespect you. From a Muslim to a Jew lol. Big love man
The closest to an acceptable heckle in that situation: "Hey man, I work at hobby lobby, we're not nazis!" And then Steve goes "But you *are* asshole enough to shout out during shows, so close enough"
So I don’t get why Steve gets to pretend Jews wouldn’t work at hobby lobby saying they’re too good for that but this guy pointing out an objective fact is anti Semitic. It’s weird how Steve gets to use his heritage to pretend he’s better
Jyt uh the joke was Jews are too good to work there..... which fine you can say that. But don’t get mad when people then say yea “yall work in Hollywood”
Just for the record Dr Judith saved my son's life twice. Dr Abner saved mine. He also fought with Patton's 3rd Army. The only good reason to wear a Nazi armband is that your in a Mel Brooks movie.
I appreciate what Steve has to say. I enjoy how he clearly and fully explains what he's discussing. But the video clip made me laugh. The guy says one word "TV" and Steve flipped his shit. Lol damn.

Well technically they did exist at some point but died out..
But there are still off brand ads holes calling them s elfs nazis
Glad you’re okay man. You seem like a stand up guy and I’m glad I discovered your comedy. It’s been a hard year mentally for me so thanks for the laughs. It helped more than you’ll ever be aware of man.
I see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How’s your year going now?
Came here to laugh, stayed to learn. Great job Steve! Sorry that it had to happen all the same though
I'm extremely offended. I can take at least one hit in the Super Bowl without shitting my pants. I might not walk again, but my pants will be dry
For me it would depend on what and how recently i ate. Although i might void my bowels when it kills me.

Stay safe my dude, the world’s a crazy dangerous place.
We must stick together to protect vulnerable people against these psychos. If we are divided or passive, they can win.
Em Hu oh most definitely. I see in the LGBT+ community all the time. Whenever ace/aro/nonbinary/whatever discourse comes around and the community starts the split, homo/transphobes don’t even have to work hard to reduce it to crumbs, sometimes the community does it themselves.
That’s why it’s so important that even with divides there’s a reminder to stay civil and more importantly, stay willing to defend each other when oppression does come around for the community. Once that’s done, the focus on intersectionality with activism starts to become a lot easier and progress gets made faster.
This is the reason I don't want to be famous (I don't really need to worry about since I'm not that funny). I have poor impulse control when dealing with stupid people. I would not have reacted appropriately to a death threat.

"That was your..thesis?" LOL You're a legend Stevo and you're always welcome to come back to Australia. Personally I don't understand the hatred some people have for Jews. I never understood it and I still don't. It never ceases to amaze me how divisive human beings can be. Because that's how I see people. Whatever their race or culture, to me they're all just people. And yet they treat each other like they're not even the same species. The absurdity of that blows my mind.

May god bless you and yours. I'm a Christian from Dallas TEXAS. Charlottesville was the most shameful thing I've seen on American soil in my entire life.

The "Indiana Jones" movies gave me such an unrealistic expectation of what my career w/ a History degree would be like....

I heard this joke once, by Emo Phillips:
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
Tom Kenning When I started reading, I thought this would go a certain way. It actually went a very different way.
HAH!
Pretty much how worldwide religon works. "You're not following my beliefs exactly, therefore you're wrong." It's exhausting.
I'm reminded that one of the big Orthodox Schisms that resulted in a bunch of bloodshed was primarily over whether to make the Sign of the Cross with two fingers or three.
Well spoken brother.
Stay safe and stay true to yourself!
I think it's sad that you have to defend yourself, Brother. ,,,but, you did a fantastic job of explaining yourself. NEVER CHANGE!!!

I love how nazis say Jews killed Jesus Christ but ya boi Jesus Christ was Jewish 😂👀
Well yes and no Jesus was born Jewish but was more focused on starting Christianity. He would interrupt Rabbi and tell them they were wrong.
The Romans and priests killed Jesus.
@@thebigragu9952 that is a very Jewish thing to do... Jewish Sabbath services aren't about being told what to believe, it's about reading the Torah and then arguing about it.
Scott McElhiney incorrect! For the period and at the time of these events this was not common practice and was seen as major disrespect
@@scottmcelhiney323 more like "debating" on Jewish laws and the like, which is honestly quite fascinating to look at and read through.
stumbled on this video completely out of the blue. No clue who this guy is, he seems funny, doesn't even matter. I watched this whole video and subscribed just because I like the way this guy thinks like a logical human being. Hate has no place in the world. It might have gotten someone attention in the past, but the time has come for the world to heal. A simple video like this and most of the comments reaffirm that there are still good people, saying no to hate. Good job Steve. I can't wait to check out some of your other stuff now, and I'm coming from a place of respect before I even see if I think you're funny or not. Keep giving hate the middle finger.
whenever im feeling down or need to be cheered up i binge your heckler videos....they always remind me that my life might suck but at least im not as dumb as these idiots lmfao. Thank you for all that you do steve!!!
Hey Steve, big fan here, just wishing you well man, be safe! keep up the laughs!
My friend was sick when the tree of life was shot up and he goes there so this meant a lot to me thank you for bring antisemitism up
Steve - love your stuff! Remember - if you're upsetting the Nazis then you're doing it right. All the best!

Benjamin O'Neill damn! You beat me to it! LOL!!!!
You are a great comedian, a quick witted human being and you know what you are talking about. That you use your knowledge and fame to spread anti hate as well makes you a hero! Don't ever change man!
To hell with the Nazi trolls. Keep up the good work Steve.
As a Christian, I never understood hate towards Jews. Do people not understand the origins of the religion? The beginning of the Christian Bible is literally the Torah.
I dont know why i find the fact steves hair almost blends perfectly with the boards behind him so mesmerizing
I love how butthurt and salty he got over one little comment
Love the explanation, hate that it had to happen.
"ooooh, crime"..... I had to rewind the video to catch what I missed, laughing my ace off. You're the man, Steve. 👍👍

Best of wishes. Be careful. Keep doing your comedy and will see you live when I can.
As a Canadian I’m so sorry you had this experience in my country. Please know most of us are tolerant kind people. Please come back any time your welcome.

As an anti-religious person I have to say I love that quote, "I feel closer to god when I see someone laugh.", that is such a beautiful thought. I think that one doesn't even have to believe in a god to enjoy the sentiment.
I came to say I felt that quote was so inspiring too! I had no idea and it piques my interest in Judaism. Laughter is an amazing way to inspire people to be good, loving humans.
So your an atheist because saying your anti religion means that you hate all religions obviously I don’t think that’s what you meant but I’m just saying don’t phrase it like that
@@Adambobadam That's not necessarily true. One could be a thiest or polythiest and be anti-religion. Spirituality and organized religion are two different things: one is inherent in nature, the other is a construct of men.

Hey Steve!
I love your work!
I am so glad you're in this world, you make me laugh so much!
I was a soldier in the U.S. Army Infantry. I was a mechanized infantryman. I served with people of all color, religions and nationalities, yes there is a significant portion of the U.S. Armed Forces that are not citizens yet. They are serving to earn their citizenship. We are so lucky to have them with us too!
Having said that, I developed a deep love for diversity and I believe it makes us great. I stand for everything nazis want to destroy. I despise them, which is an understatement but I'm trying not to be vulgar.
Keep doing what you're doing. I can't wait to see you in Wilmington, NC. At least I hope to see you here some day!
Thank you for being you!
Thank you for your service!
Same thing happened to me. Mechanized infantry in the first armored division. I went into the army a racist, but the exposure to black people and immigrants me me realize that they're just people as well. Not the stereotypes I'd heard about.
Thank you for your service Mr Samuel Roberts!!
I think you meant to say that you “stand AGAINST everything the nazis want to destroy”. I’m sure you didn’t want to say that you stand “for” it.
I love how butthurt and salty he got over one little comment. He should quit comedy and go back to working for the bank

There's a German saying "If there is a table with 10 people and a Nazi seats and no one gets up, there is a teble with 11 nazis". I think that's enough said. There is no excuses. I really don't get hating people cuz of their ethnicity, country of orign. sexual orientation, gender identity. And it goes both ways, I'm pro Palestine, hate Anti-Semitism. I was born in Brazil, my grand father was German, my whole family is from Portugal. Anyway...
Fascinating phrase I'm going to remember that one. Thanks for Sharing
german here. its true.
in 1986 i asked a friend at school wether he was Jewish (Jewish name, Davids star around his neck) just out of curiousity, not that i ever had a problem of anyone being of whatever origin, colour sexual preference or belief. It made me sad and almost cry that he did not dare to acknowledge that because he was afraid of what my reaction would be. No one should have to endure that feeling. Ever.
Too bad you didn't know to say that you aren't a goy(im).
I'm not a Jew but I've learned the word doesn't just mean someone that isn't a Jew.
At my friend's church the pastor, who is my friend's dad, regularly jokes around. Sometimes he goes a little too far with a joke and people will hold up the yellow prayer cards like it's a soccer match. They're a fun bunch.
I give you so much credit Steve. You are always so good with the hecklers and this time is no different. Thank you for being funny and promoting truth.
I was trying to think up a witty anti death threat thing. Then I realized who's channel I'm on. So... I love your work. Keep it up.

The closest to an acceptable heckle in that situation: "Hey man, I work at hobby lobby, we're not nazis!"
And then Steve goes "But you *are* asshole enough to shout out during shows, so close enough"
The people who run the company are real pieces of shit though.
So I don’t get why Steve gets to pretend Jews wouldn’t work at hobby lobby saying they’re too good for that but this guy pointing out an objective fact is anti Semitic. It’s weird how Steve gets to use his heritage to pretend he’s better
@@jasonkelley9072 Because the "victim" of Steves joke was Hobby Lobby employees. Not an ethnicity or religion.
Jyt uh the joke was Jews are too good to work there..... which fine you can say that. But don’t get mad when people then say yea “yall work in Hollywood”
Jyt especially don’t get mad if at 8 minutes in you agree and completely with the guy
