COMEDIAN MAKES HECKLER CRY

I'm too patient. She sat in the front, bought my merch, she really wanted it to be a special night. But at the expense of the mall community.

Love how Sammy handled that heckler with poise, empathy, and humor. He didn’t kick her out but turned the situation into a teaching moment. This level of communication skills and emotional intelligence is what makes him such a talented comedian. Can’t wait to go see him again!

[@NavnitDosanjh]

Agreed. He responded and did not react. I could see the teacher in him making it a teachable moment. Truly a comic 2.0 who brings humour, education and learning. That person may have been triggered with her trauma but I think he dealt with it well. 💜

I like how Sammy can just sit and stew in the worst awkward emotions and flip it into a positive. The reality is some people are not teachable bc they just don't want to learn.

I recently started watching Sammy ‘s comedy and I love his style, but when I saw the title of this video, I was a little worried. I watched the whole clip and as a therapist myself, I feel like he handled that like a champ, with so much patience and good humor. Now I’m an even bigger fan!

[@JasonWho]

We were sitting a couple feet away from this table, it was insanity! She seemed intoxicated, their friend was super embarrassed but neither him or her date could reel her in.

[@yavarmoradi9331]

You sir are the opposite of asshole. Trying to be a Pal in the midst of all that showed a lot of maturity and your teaching experience really came out. I salute you for how you handled the situation for everyone and it’s really cool that you uploaded it to KZbin honestly.

[@jayjoe3716]

Ugh i think she has some unresolved issues from her past. Felt actually bad for her, looked like she couldn't help it. Thank you for not being harsh with her

[@kriggo1]

There must have been some truth in the brown parents trauma, especially when she said her parents didn't approve of "this shit" (which I presume is her dating a white guy)

[@VivekAnandJ]

This was such an empathetic review and so right!

[@didoufree]

Many people go through a lot but don't necessarily heckle and make it about them

[@maryfarrell9439]

I doubt she was the only person in that room with unresolved issues for the past…she was the only one acting out in that way. Ty std her choice. If there was something wrong with her mental health, she was there with someone and that someone could have removed her sooner. You’re very empathetic. But, I honestly think this is just a selfish person who cared o my about herself and not about all the other people in the room who paid for tickets. Not cool.

[@yoogeo1]

We always treat women like children. No man acting like this would be given such a sympathetic review of his actions because we hold men accountable when they act out

[@nedim_guitar]

You handled it really well, man! You have a lot of patience, and you actually weren't disrespectful, you didn't rip into her. And you were able to keep it funny, putting the dot at the end of it with "I shouldn't looked at her when I said brown parents", and that laugh from the audience felt a bit cathartic, like "alright, we can no move on with the show".

[@assiaidrissou4459]

Oh my god she just WOULD NOT SHUT UP , how wasn't she embarrassed ???? Damn 😂 Sammy you handle that geniusly ! 🎉😂

[@AMA21212]

She’ll be embarrassed later when she calms down. Whatever trauma was bubbling beneath the surface even a look or a specific word or tone can trigger an unconscious emotional reaction. The worst part is the outburst when they do it in public. I know this bc I grew up w a parent just like this. They get reactive, don’t know how to cope under some perceived threat & lash out like a lunatic. I’m just glad she didn’t go into a rage & jump on stage. I feel both embarrassed but mostly just really sad for her bc of my first hand experience. However, it does not make it right. At all. Ever! Sammy handled it like a pro. He did his best which was seriously so much more than how most would handle it, so big up to you Sammy you class act! 👏

[@DigitalDuelist]

She was something else! Most socially oblivious person I've ever seen heckle 😅😂

When people buy tickets to a comedy show and thought it was a personal therapy appointment

[@foxjacket]

This is what being in your trauma looks like. She got triggered, she felt like she had to stand up for herself; why she didn't think she was making commentary. She felt shut down and attacked. I hope she has a good therapist and at least she won't leave a bad yelp review. 😂 Would love Dr. Ramani's take on this person's narcissism and trauma

[@LeylaNiyazov]

Exactly. She's dysregulated and perceives comments as personal attacks to her. We all can get dysregulated. I hope she gains skills to keep herself emotionally regulated.

[@maryfarrell9439]

Well, hopefully she learns from this, and gets help if she needs it. Her behaviour isn’t socially acceptable, and the kind but firm response she got here is exactly what she needs to learn that she has a problem. Making excuses for people or giving them a pass doesn’t help them.

[@stephenmcinerney9457]

Dr Ramani is great, but we shouldn't suffer from expertitis, as Abigail Shrier says; functioning adults already know not to act like this woman without having to consult an expert. And this woman can go sort out her head without disrupting a comedy gig, or other public event.

[@sohailmaqbool3291]

Where I am from, it is a common experience, so many people JUST WON'T SHUT UP, because they have mental issues

I subscribed to Sammy especially after I realized how well Sammy handled that. I've enjoyed comedy for years, but this was him fighting for the love of the game against a nightmare heckler that admittedly didn't even want to be there, but couldn't help but try to ruin it for everyone else.

[@lanasoso5330]

she's like compulsive talker . she kept asking for a public humiliation

[@SmokeyChipOatley]

People like her ALWAYS resort to tears once they get called out for their bs. And the reason they do is because they’re so used to being coddled instead of being told directly that their behavior is unacceptable (though sometimes it’s because they won’t accept that their behavior is unacceptable). They’re so used to starting fights and arguments and “winning” that the moment things don’t go their way they resort to tears. They cry because that’s the moment most people would concede and let them win. And even if they don’t, someone else will. Be it their partner, parents or a close friend, whoever. I usually prefer to avoid confrontations but people like her *need* interactions like this because otherwise they would continue their annoying song and dance. This woman may still continue her behavior but at least now she knows that it’s not cool and she heard it from someone she ostensibly admires and that may get her to think twice next time.

[@QiotiCoyote]

This video is so important because he handled the situation perfectly. Literally no notes Like this is what you should always do in situations where someone is pulling this shit to not only run it through what is happening, educating them and helping them see past their emotions but also he showed sympathy or at least understanding that shes not just some random crazy annoying person. Shes someone who said something, then felt bad, and probably felt embarassed she couldnt let it go. He recognized her feelings to her, helping to make her feel shes equal and not just being attacked. People get defensive when it feels your being scolded but ultimately its like how you would talk to a kid, is how you should with people like this. once you realize people have their own emotions and reasons for behaving, as obvious as that is, then you are able to feel empathy and sympathy im so high rn idk if that makes sense but i do know this type of handling in my experience, can change people. This video will do good to encourage understanding
