@@taxusbaccata3001 ....why? It's just a slang name for female genitals. It really shouldn't be that big of a deal once you're past middle school. Some guy tried to insult me in a comment by calling me a "clit" a couple weeks ago. You know what I did? I laughed. Because it was _really_ stupid on their part.

[@KaizerMan]

@@kriscynical Yes but not everyone is rational or as capable of brushing off insults like that. Pussy isn't just slang name for female genitals, it's also used as an insult in slang to suggest someone's effeminate and depending on the person they could have different responses. That's not to justify the guy getting so heated over it. But whether it's some anger issues, a deep rooted psychological issue or complex he has, maybe a tough time in his life made worse by not being able to enjoy comedy without being perceivably publicly ridiculed or even just having previous issues with being made to feel like less of a man in the presence of his wife. You never know the situation or context causing someone's reaction. So it's fine and dandy to say why it *should* be not much of a big deal to be called a pussy as a joke, but the world doesn't work like it *should* unfortunately, you know?

[@VoodooV1]

it takes two. so both need to correct their behavior. It's not hard to not call people pussy. Millions of us don't do it every day.

What I suspect is Married guy was probably more pissed that his wife made him look bad. The 'I'm always right comment' may have stuck a nerve. The Divorced guy just said what Married guy assumed everyone else was thinking. So Married guy shifts his anger and embarrassment to Divorced guy.

Then the Divorced guy apologized for saying that and the married guy just couldn't let it go. It really shows the type of character he was that he let something so silly cause him to have a bad time. Which also caused others around him to have a bad time because he was creating tension. Both comedians did an amazing job of stopping a would be fight!

i love how you all talk shit on the married guy!! im sure none of you has been called a pussy in front of over 200 people! that would honestly piss most people off and the comedian has to make jokes about it because its his job, but it makes it worse. basically the divorced guy shouldn't have said a stup comment just because he felt big in front of a bunch of people and the married guy shouldn't have done what he did, but he was in front of his wife and 200 people. i bet all of you would have acted the same way

[@stevehofstetter]

Heads up, my Iowa, Missouri and Tennessee tickets are on sale now if you haven’t gotten them yet. I’ll be in Des Moines, St. Louis, Kansas City, Nashville, and Memphis. Grab tickets at SteveHofstetter.com and see you there!

[@arunramachandran1639]

your opening acts bit sounds exactly like bill burrs bit ( divorce rate stats vs plane landing stats)..im not sure who wrote it first..but if you do read this comment, as a fellow comic do advice him, also your awesome :)

[@SScarnati]

Arun R I was trying to find someone else that thought the same thing. I'm pretty sure it was Burr that made that joke first. It was almost verbatim.

[@trurealigion8195]

Yeah, bill burr said 2 of 3 ends and its like jumping out of a plane and 2 of 3 parachutes wont open.

[@over18irish]

I'm glad you're still alive too, Steve.

[@mikecalex]

I enjoy watching your clips on here, and particularly you owning hecklers, but it seems like there are a higher concentration of disruptions at your shows as opposed to others. I haven't been to many comedy shows but the ones I have attended have not had disruptions. I've seen specials with other comedians where it occurs but it seems more frequent at your shows. Does it happen more often at your shows than others? Or am I just seeing clips online or specials where it's been edited out? Is this a common occurrence?

[@stevehofstetter]

It happens one out of every 15 or so shows for me. You're not seeing the other 14.

[@mikecalex]

Got it. Well I enjoy what I see of your work on here. I see you're coming to CT in December. I'm going to try and make the Stamford set. I'll keep my mouth shut during the show, though.

[@Twistedmist]

My college would bring in comedians every so often, and it was free for the students to attend, you just had to show up a couple hours early to guarantee you could get in. In all of those shows there would be at least 1 heckler or someone yelling shit out to the stage. I live by a Comedy club now, you have to pay to get in and there's a two drink minimum, have been to a few shows, never seen a heckler. Do you notice a relation between shows being free to the audience and hecklers? Or are these people paying for tickets knowing that everyone else is paying to be there and just can't help themselves?

[@BlackMoridin]

Jimmy Carr is my hero XD If he doesn't get heckled enough at a show, he'll just ask the crowd to have a go at him xD

[@JC_wonderland]

Because it's fake loot at his Chanel he has no actual comedy act he's not funny his hecklers are actors and this he is just plain corny

[@12seahawks12]

Mad props to both of you.

[@38so2000]

The opener Brett’s eyes are so wide and he didn’t blink 😂😂

[@siriosstar4789]

The title is a bit click baity ,as it could be interpreted as a 'physical ' fight , rather than a verbal one. However i think physicality was avoided due to your brilliant handling of the situation.

[@shaandalal5563]

But they prevented a physical fight from happening Edit: I didn't read the end. Sorry

[@KaizerMan]

All video titles are clickbait. If they don't bait clicks they don't get views then they don't subscribers and don't get ad revenue and ultimately have no reason to upload. but i agree this video title sacrifices some accuracy in it's attempts to bait more clicks

[@seal869]

So sad when comics have to talk to the crowd like they're the teacher in a classroom of kindergarteners.

[@SClub7Fan]

Your opener stole his bit from BIll Burr?

[@Lady_Vengeance]

Junglistic Soulja it’s not _about_ parachuting you absolute imbecile

[@RS43210]

@@Lady_Vengeance Why the hostility? Bill Burr's joke was comparing marriage to skydiving, and that if 3 out of 4 parachute's didn't open, you wouldn't do it.

[@sandrasmylie4016]

I don't know how i found you but so glad i did, thank you 😊 after a crappy few shifts this has helped

[@stanstanminson6112]

"..Like, if planes only landed 50% of the time..." Sounds suspiciously like a Bill Burr joke

[@kiddingme01]

Brett handled that exceptionally well and is funny. But I am dizzy from him holding his camera as he talked about situation. Steve, did well as always.

[@stephensouzajr]

Title change suggestion: A tense argument breaks out at a comedy show. A fight is something different. Having said that, I love your comedy, Steve. Here's to a very successful 2020!

[@kysier6015]

This is old video, but Isn't that title click baitey as hell?

[@Dagrdottir]

You kept that going so well...honestly I salute you, that couldnt have been easy

[@ohulihanr6gaming679]

I’ve fallen in love with these videos they’re absolutely insane 🤣

[@breaddboy]

Does Brett have a channel?

[@stevehofstetter]

No, but his twitter is @BrettDruck

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

We caught Steve between our two comments. He's trapped.

[@BrettDruckComedy]

I actually do, but you won't find much there.

To be honest, I read that as "you will not find me there" but like, all ominous and what-not, like some classy cartoon villain XD

[@turttell2736]

Way to rip off a bill burr joke like nearly exactly the same not only premise but even the same type of metaphor with death being the consequence of whatever you compare to marriage and how people wouldn’t o that here is that joke and the great BILL Burrs take on the very same joke WRITTEN by him YEARS ago "Let me ask you a question, why the hell do people keep getting married? You know what I mean, isn’t anybody looking at the stats? You know what I mean; 3 out of 4 marriages go right down the shitter right? If you were going skydiving, and they told you 3 out of 4 parachutes weren’t going to open, you’d be like. “Yo fuck that! I’m not goin!” I mean like I don’t like those odds. I have a 75% chance of splattin on the ground. But there’s something about getting married. People just have to do it. Right? They’re just like, is this the line to lose half my shit? Awesome! " damn Carlos Mencia // Dane Cook

[@kacydeyoe9764]

Ricky Warren dude im so glad i wasnt the only one who noticed that. i commented about it too. bill burr is my favorite commedian and it pisses me off that this guy just so happens to have the same joke as him with the same plane death hypothetical.

[@wat3rdog25]

Love these out takes!!!!!

[@reportinglivefromhell222]

So glad I started getting promoted some of your videos on KZbin! Love your stuff!🤘

[@facundocortez1837]

The plane joke was stolen from bill burr. Might have been a coincidence.

[@dabbingbanana1159]

[@stt5v2002]

After watching quite a few of your videos, I have come to a conclusion. It is probably pointless to go to a comedy show. There are just too many drunk, aggressive, rude people. It would not be any fun to go out for a good time only to watch a comedian babysit drunk adults.

[@josiah_with_a_b]

Hahaha I love it!! Do you ever feel like an elementary school teacher at some of your shows? lol

[@PaulKentSkates]

I like how respectful you guys were here.

[@cbr900rr6]

There was no fight ffs.... CLICKBAIT!!!! 👎👎👎👎

[@jaypadlo7284]

are the kkk membership cards white??

[@rowynnecrowley1689]

Yes, but the print is also white, so you can't read them. Which is just as well cuz the spelling/grammar is atrocious.

[@chrishamilton2559]

Those clubs should require psyche evaluations as conditions of entry, don't you think?
