I will never understand how so many comedians can tell jokes and not snicker and giggle while telling them. It's so tempting.

[@lavone5541]

Karmatic Kenny Comedians who laugh usually candid their jokes. Those who dont laugh usually rehearse their jokes. :)

[@markcobb6561]

Karmatic Kenny for me, it doesn't matter if it's on the fly or rehearsed, I've been submerged for so long, it takes a lot to make me laugh.

[@jungla3]

I mean, comedians usually have a script that they've rehearsed over and over and over and over again. A joke isn't really funny after you've heard it 20 times, and especially not if you yourself wrote it.

[@TashWigley]

*jungla3* is correct. In addition to that, comedians often have some kind of acting skill that allows them to turn a set of jokes into an actual performance. You can always tell a good comedian from a bad one by whether or not they lose the structure of their performance via their own laughter. Being able to write and repeat decent jokes doesn't automatically make someone a good comedian, you have to be able to put on the performance as well.

"He's a doctor." And you passed on bringing up prostate exams?

[@chapachuu]

Some people are oblivious, so let me clarify why this video is (rightfully) labeling the heckler as homophobic: she repeatedly says that "Eric is a nice guy" and "great guy" while at the same time stating "he's not gay". This clearly implies she doesn't think gay men are good people or that Eric is too good to be gay. Either way, clearly homophobic. Plus, she takes offense to a joke about another man touching a man's penis. If she wasn't a homophobe, she wouldn't care. Is it clear now?

[@jw11432]

+chapachuu that's one interpretation. the women's complaints were also derived from feeling as though he was being harassed, and by saying he's a nice guy, they're justifying why the comedian should cease his harassment. clarifying that he was not gay could also have simply been in response to the suggestions of holding a penis, so he would not do so for that very reason. who knows if you're right or if i am right, because the only thing that's obvious at this point is that this title and the interactions of the video herein are entirely subjective.

[@chapachuu]

jw11432 Well, if you disregard sequence from the context I could see how you could interpret it differently. However, that still leaves her obvious offence at the joke itself. In my experience, you only get offended/defensive when 1) there is truth to the implication, or 2) you are bigot. And since she is adamant it's not the former reason that leaves the later.

[@seanidzone5120]

+chapachuu I completely agree with you.

[@donovangallagher4707]

Calm down it's a fucking joke

[@bizzarrogeorge]

actually, a person suffering from homophobia would exhibit similar physiological responses to people who suffer from a variety of other phobias, such as increased heart rate, blood vessel constriction, dialation of the pupils, cold and hot flashes, perspiration, shaking, nausea, extreme dread, fright, a need to flee the area, and more. These are all classic and expected reactions to people who suffer from irrational fears, or what we know as phobias. so therefore the person who is drunk in the audience is not suffering from an irrational fear of gay people, she simply just doesn't like them or approve of their behavior. the term homophobia is a poor attempt to apply a snazzy sounding term to cover both harmless people who have decided that homosexuality is not their cup of tea, as well as dangerous people who would wrongfully hurt someone who is. so by lumping the two groups under the one wrong term of homophobic, you erase any chance of nudging the harmless persons viewpoint more towards your own, as they are offended that you lump them in with the thugs who beat up and worse those who are gay. in other words, enough with the made up buzzwords that are only meant to insult and divide. can't we just be who we are and not have to be forced to approve of everyone else's life choices?

I wish people had the mind to make good decisions instead of showing their asses. Clearly, Eric involved himself.

I mean seriously you are so funny and I've never even seen a full stand up show of you, but after this 10+ vid rabbit hole I've been on, every single one has been you verbally beating the shit out of some douchy asshole. How does this happen so often? Do you say offensive things that people wanna talk about about or do people think it's your schtick and wanna be on youtube

[@rjziebarth]

damn man, you get heckled on the daily... what up?

[@lashaunbeazer9264]

It's a scheme. And people fall for it and likes his KZbin and social media. Pretty sad, tbh

[@Stargate-over-starwars]

lash beazer no it's not it's his form of advertisement and it works notice you all clicked and are enjoying his video

[@alexgregg1058]

Ziebarth Films I was a comedian in college. You get heckled more often than not. I'll bet he doesn't record a significant fraction. People in bars aren't the best audience really, but that's also where comedy works the best so you have to deal with it.

[@lashaunbeazer9264]

Vladimir Gonzalez I haven't enjoyed any of his videos, and I've only clicked this one. And I disliked the video.

[@jamesflagobo6383]

+lash beazer No one gives a shit

[@dell8767]

IDK the whole story about Erik but that orphan joke , "you come back when u have a dad , ok ?" was hysterical 😂😂😂

[@DashingChrisBey]

Steve Hofstetter DUDE THIS WAS 2013 LOL why you commenting today? Came across my recommended c;

[@nipunbanerjee6385]

Lol this was fast

[@dlighted8861]

"You come back when you have a dad." 😁

[@AndrewConnComedy]

Why do you have so many hecklers

[@chesh1rek1tten]

He just posts all his hecklers. It's sadly normal that people feel like comedy is a commentator sport.

[@TheGrantland100]

When she said: "I don't want anymore jokes". He should've put the mic on the stand and left.

[@AximVidya]

No he just should've had the homophobic cunt thrown the fuck out. No need to punish the rest of the paying audience.

[@7cosmic7]

I am very impressed at how well you handled that situation. So much respect.

[@21kaligirl]

Wow this guy is awesome!!!

[@bnm19711989]

He's a madman...like when he stole that cow and his friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with that cowboy.

[@nieznanyx]

bnm19711989 you mentioned cow way too many times for any one sentence.. cow fetish? or are you a cow?

[@bnm19711989]

SKG It's a movie quote. The movie is called "Stripes". It stars Bill Murray and the late Harold Ramis. Guess you would have had to have been there. Have a good day sir, or ma'am.

[@nieznanyx]

bnm19711989 cool..thanks for the reference! :)

[@donniemontoya9300]

never argue with a comedian haha

[@nakenfaan]

I love the way you're presenting your content in your vids, and sometimes explaining the context so we better can understand the situation. You clearly work hard on your channel and its content, thus its a f*ing great comic channel. Keep it up, props from Norway.

[@big1mike1jcms123]

I loved that "no more jokes about Eric if you guys just shit the fuck up"

[@psyience3213]

You're a funny guy. That orphan joke was great!

[@jeffysoule2076]

I just discovered this channel a little while ago and I've been binge watching these clips ever since. Great material and content!

[@issyp1491]

This was incredible! I love a good heckler video, but this was truly something else! I take my hypothetical hat off to you, Steve. The heckler was handled perfectly. :-) x

[@Choppytehbear1337]

But was Eric nice?

Steve Hofstetter, I will see you 4/9 in NYC for my birthday, I will sit in the back and remain silent...

[@aikigeorge3]

Hofstetter!! Rickles is gone(peace be upon Him) step this meme up and you will have to buy a Tux and start playing Vegas and the Ponocos seriously, you have the GIFT.....insult as art ....lives.

[@robd5731]

The audience is not obligated to be silent during your act. Especially if it's not very funny. If people talking throws you off that much, I question if you're cut out for being a comic at all. Not to mention you're really reaching to find something homophobic in there.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Where's the "homophobic" part? Your intro is that a comic asked for a volunteer and then tried to humiliate the guy and that makes him "homophobic." You don't even claim he said anything negative or was nasty about it. In fact you admit you just continued to pick on the same guy for cheap laughs.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

DA Pikle Samurai - I did watch the entire video and, thanks to this comment, I just wasted my time watching it again. Instead of leaving a smart Alex comment, perhaps what you should have done is actually answered my question. At no point in this, does anyone act homophobic.

[@ChickenWingus]

Robert J. Williamson you don't have to call him gay, hes nice He can't be both? as soon as he mentions anything homoerotic they say its to far hes a nice guy

[@AnyoneCanSee]

DA Pikle Samurai - Well, what she actually, say is "Too far, man, too far. He's a doctor and I don't want anymore jokes. Don't call him gay. He's so nice." The comic was making fun of him and talking about him touching a lot of dicks in his job. The person shouting out was asking the comic to stop mocking their friend. They were not suggesting being gay was a bad thing, but all the jokes at Erics expense. As I said, in this video at least they don't do anything wrong. He is picking on them as they are at the front. A lot of comics do this for cheap laughs, to whoever sits at the front. He's trying to justify it by calling them homophobic and hecklers, when in fact they are neither in this video. It's not a big deal, I'm just saying that's how I see it. And thanks for explaining what you think about it. And people are rude all the time online, its a sad part of life these days. People just aren't nice to each other anymore. It's actually starting to make life quite hard, to be honest. We have a generation and a time in history when being rude and nasty are the order of the day. I really wish we lived even when I was a kid and people tried to be nice to each other.

[@ChickenWingus]

Robert J. Williamson Yah haha i watched a third time and it makes alot more sense that way, sorry again

[@stumbling]

Robert J. Williamson Come on, I don't believe you're that dense. There is an obvious undercurrent of homophobia here. These people are nowhere near Westborough Baptists but anyone who isn't homophobic wouldn't have responded the way they did.

[@TheBigDYTJuggalo]

You ever going to be back at Wiley's down there in Dayton? If so That would be great, but after people like this, i don't blame you if you don't. I'd come if so though.

[@johnschauder]

Steve Hofstetter I get what you are doing, I understand that you are just trying to make content...and if you can make it political and do a little virtue signaling in the video description, all the better for you. But, do you really think that lady was homophobic?? Because I don’t see it. It seemed more likely that she was just drunk and mildly upset that you were singling out her man. It just so happened that you were talking about dicks and gay stuff. You could have been talking about his intelligence, appearance or anything really, and she would have had the same reaction. Most people don’t really want political opinions thrown in our faces at a comedy show. When you do this, you may score some brownie points with some of your audience, but you’ll alienate about half. I’m not saying you should never share your political opinions, I’m just saying you shouldn’t grasp at straws for an opportunity to be a white night, wait until a genuine opportunity arises.

[@kamronhiltunen245]

I got it! Your hilarious man

[@kylemo04]

Why do you get so many hecklers. I've only ever seen your videos when involving a heckler

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

One thing i love about Steve is that he's willing to go after anyone, regardless of their race, religion, disabilities, etc. It's not like he maliciously attacks handicapped people or a certain race, he just treats them like any other person in the audience without mentioning a disability or anything. That's a true comic.

[@ChrisSmithBass]

Seriously, Steve, you are an amazing talent. Thanks for making life easier for me. I love listening to your standup.

[@jeremyjones595]

Damn. Nice jabs, man. Keeping it lighthearted, but sharp. I like it.

[@sakazakijin]

I had to rewind after the bit about asking for a volunteer. Missed the rest of the set-up explanation due to laughing so hard. Subbed, by the way. Good stuff

[@EnemyNation]

This was pretty funny, thanks for uploading.

[@hansgopherfish6367]

Hey Steve, I've watched a lot of your heckler videos and it really makes me wonder two things: first, is heckling really that common an occurrence for a comedian on the road? Second, why would someone pay money to go see a show and then disrupt it midstream. It seems to me that if you are offended by a comedian, rather than selfishly blurting things out and ruining the show for others who might actually be enjoying it, the best thing to do would be to quietly get up and go ask the manager of the club for a refund, then leave... Keep up the good work ^.^

[@thedon3836]

"I like Eric." "We know." 😂😂😂😂 *BURN!* she got you there Steve.

Steve Hofstetter , took a couple of videos, but I subscribed. Always good material, and I know we won't hang out, but I'd make you laugh. You're good man. Yes, I've been drinkin.

[@darkmanafest63]

The last 4 videos I've watched the moment you got heckled was at the start of the "I dont like people" joke, do people just see that as their cue?

[@AerynSB]

You are fuckin hilarious man. The perfect mixture of wits and sarcasm. I love it

[@Hoshneer]

The orphan joke was great. Haha!

[@leah4200]

I had never heard of you before tonight when my husband linked me some of your videos. I just want to say you are fantastic and I cannot wait until you tour in my state so we can get tickets to your show! I dont laugh often but you have had me cracking up and I cannot wait to see a full show.

[@aprilk2858]

I loved this! very entertaining and you dealt with it so well. The best comedians use the hecklers material and turn it back onto them, which is what you did with so much ease. :)

[@lizzymartin4291]

Bless you Steve! Thank you for calling out people like that. I've dealt with them my whole life. I hope to have the honor of meeting you one day. You are by far my favorite comic

This was pretty funny. Especially the joke about being a family physician.

[@celleryvon9546]

It's one thing when you're in a casual conversation and you misunderstand a joke for an insult, but when you go to a comedian's show and get offended by a joke.... There's something seriously up.

The description: "justice porn" I love that 😊
