Doug Stanhope gets booed, big fail! - LIVE - Leeds Festival 2009

[MaxLawlessPhoto]

Nice little green eraser on your big red pencil. Stanhope for President! ;)

[luciferslight100]

take this shit off the net

[LondonIrishRover]

Yeah, showing 22 seconds of a set and trying to make out that Stanhope bombed and people were leaving is a mega fail. Nice dislike bar, btw.

[spolly18]

Stanhope said himself the shows he hates doing most are music festivals because it's not his target audience. He often talks about murdering his manager for setting these gigs up, but he does them anyways because he's a motherfucking boss.

His shows are a mix between comedy and exposing the harsh reality of life on this shit planet, and just like cocaine, it's not for everyone.

[jimmyshitbags]

this is like bottling jimi hendrix.

[TheGibson5150]

They all prefer michael mcintyre or some or bland comedian that they are told is cool because they have NO IDEA how to make up their own minds!! narrow minded cunts!

[wungabunga]

Fucking serves him right for going to a festival in ANY capacity whatsoever. Arseholes.

[arseniyonline1234555]

he was real good on charlie brookers shows, although probably had producer involvement. American comedians have it rough when they come to uk since most of them are real bad. like i mean properly SHIT. so the good ones have to work twice as hard to make an impression

[Tomreid676]

Wowww!! Im ashamed that our generation seems to be a bunch of fucking pussies!

[brainfullametal]

To make it worse you try to discredit your top uploader comment.... Like he's the one being a wanker. Pfft. Fuck you dude... No, really!... FUCK YOU

[brainfullametal]

Honestly... What The Fuck? This dude posts 22 seconds of the start of a set of ....What? An amazing comic who the crowd probly didn't know a thing about and are still filing in to take their (seats) and this bloke said... "Duhhh that's what happened y'all, duhhh don't blame meee!!"

Y'know I wouldn't have said a thing if not for that dumb ass, attention seeking, low brow, "grab at views" title and the " duuhhhh it's not my fault you think I'm an asshole hick" description. PTO

[aido2008]

think he's great...fact

i really enjoyed stickiwee's post

[stickiwee]

I think we can all conclude that anyone called Hugh is a cunt. Firstly the cunt who posted this video and secondly the Laurie cunt who despite earning earning about 100 million playing house, still finds it necessary to do every advert that is offered to him the fucking greedy cunt. I sincerely hope that everyone called Hugh gets a massive malignant arse tumor. Oh and i forgot about Hugh Grant.... well you can probably draw your own conclusions. Cunt.

[porkadachop]

Back in the 60's you had squares that didn't get what the counterculture movement is all about. Today's squares are the fucktards that get offended by this brilliant comic. 

[sonetlumiere12345678]

I fucking love doug stanhope and i saw him earlier this year and he sucked. Massive disappointment but you cant be electric every night.

[gserlenga]

big Fail? um yea, big fail on the part of the audience, not Stanhope..

[SirAlfredSourcock]

Humorless cunts.

[SMACKu2b]

People always get mad at him because they don't appreciate his bitter truthful sense of humor. Because they are tools of the system and they think their thoughts, their beliefs, their opinions, they think all that shit matters to other people and to have someone call them out on it and prove to them with one of the most logical rants ever created, they want to voice their displeasure and boo it, but they don't realize he gets off on that shit because it proves him right.

[0Genus0]

And yes, most festivals nowadays are full of cockends who go there for a weekend of drinking and bragging rights. I went to Leeds this year because the line-up was fucking awesome and I wanted a weekend of excellent music and good memories with my friends.

[0Genus0]

Wow, I was at Leeds Festival at 2011. If Doug were on stage then, I think I would have missed any conceivable band to go see this genius.

[CoolerKing37]

What's great about Stanhope is the way he'll perform at any venue even if he knows it'll be shitty.

[itsthearistocrat]

Audience FAIL more like.

[spunkybrewster1972]

That was the was the wrong fucking venue for Stanhope. He belongs in a dank scuzzy bar, not in big tent where any fuck face can wander in eating fries and wiping ketchup on their sleave. It looked like he was trying to recite Shakespear to bunch of slack jaw inbred hillbillies.

[prince6277]

This is a prime example of how the audience's has changed at festivals over the last 10-15 years or so. By this i mean most people that attend festivals are pricks who go to say they went, proabably have to look at the line up list to tell you who they seen and tell you there favourite act was whoever headlined the whole thing. your souless assholes, go fuck yourselfs.

[TheSilverFlyingCigar]

Doug should have just put the mic up to a speaker and let it rip full blast.

[TheAthiestMovement]

assholes are all connected in some way

religion, pop music, capatlism

[Di0genesus]

Leeds would be the Oakland of the UK if Cardiff didn't have that prestige.

[icemanisdangerous]

Who cares. the leeds/reading crowd are corperate pop/rock fans and in general corperate cock suckers. If someone dropped a nuke on leads and reading festival and killed all those people and the shit bands they love I'd definately crack open a bottle of champagne and celebrate.

[frusciante39]

what did he say? fucking Leeds festival, middle england nme fucks? should've

[eezysqueezy]

Festivals are like porno theatres....there's always a lot of wankers.

[passingpoor]

i wish i was there to stab these mofos in the throat

[pratikh]

What was he talking about that cheesed off the whole audience?

[AdamBomb669]

What kind of retarded bitch boos Doug Stanhope. He is the best thing since fucking Carlin. Fuck everyone in that audience whether they came around at the end or not. stupid cunts should recognize greatness immediately.

[frusciante39]

@AdamBomb669 spot. on.

[whatthehellimbored]

yuppie cunts!!! stanhope is LEGEND

[Japashka]

hugh is a faggot's name!!!! xaxa =D

[cnra7x]

thus proving the r&l fest are full of fucking idiots

[wesmatron]

A genius addressing the mentally immature. It's not a great recipe for comedy success.

[MTVVH1sucks]

stupid fucking people. 

[th0mez]

damn all i saw was a bunch of feminist and guys with vaginas where the penis use to be ....these ppl hardly know real comedy if it hit them right in the bunghole

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

Those sheep need to be culled.

[MrVinushka]

The people booing him in the video are idiots, but most of the people commenting on this video are even bigger idiots.

"Yeah, these people just can't handle it. It's Political Correctness gone mad (Doug said nothing politically incorrect). Muslims are responsible for 50% of rapes in Denmark, yeah? 50% exactly"

Cunts.

[guyboxerdog]

I was at a bath gig of his and he slated the royals and as we were real people we coped with it. I was also at Leeds last year for the Libertines and in the comedy tent and it was missing a Doug.

GUARANTEE a Brit would have got applause for this. Also, I do not think he won the crowd over, he just cleared out the flotsam PC wankmoles until intelligent people were left.

WHOOOORRRRRREEE!!!!

[CertifiedGooner729]

I will smear my feces onto whoever said Stanhope sucks. 

[TheInnovativeSam]

Oh man, I was there for this standing on the edge of the tent and Doug said "The thing I don't like about child porn is the lack of credits at the end" and so many people got up and left.

What really made this performance funny was watching Doug disgust as many people as possible. People wander around with big ego carrots shoved where the sun don't shine. Taking things too seriously.

[drreedindeed]

@TheInnovativeSam Europeans are so ready and willing to bend over backwards to prove how PC they are. Why don't they get pissed about Muslims being responsible for 50% rapes in Denmark.

[Nautilus1972]

Anyone seen the state of Carrot top recently? The most inappropriate muscles in the history of flesh.

[thewideninggyre]

Doug Stanhope is the best comedian of the last twenty years or so and those twats booed him off stage? I bet they're reading these comments and feeling like a bunch of tards now. And fuck you hugh19882, you dipshit. He actually won the crowd over at the end.

[hugh19882]

@thewideninggyre I know he did..never said he didn't!

[greyztone]

@hugh19882 Well, if he won over the crowd after this it was hardly a big fail was it?

[Fredonia2k]

@hugh19882 So then where's the "big fail," ya cunt?

[RH98]

@thewideninggyre Actually I bet they wouldnt give a shit. People like that have skulls a foot thick. They will always be able to think of a reason why they (and their small group of dumb friends) are right, and everyone else wrong.

[alvenn]

Considering I laughed all through his London show last year and have tickets for his Nottingham show I'd like to point out that not all Brits are massive twats, every country has it's share of ignorant retards, leeds fest is hardly a cross section of British society and more of a play pen for adolescent egos

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

Seriously, England is the sewer of the world. 

[purplenurps]

Dirty fucking student cunts, uptight twats. 'We'll do drugs with the money daddy gave us, see we're hip and cool...what did this man say let's thrown an Orange' Dirty faggots.

[annamatronix]

i've just discovered this guy and i must say he's pretty funny, why were they booing btw?

[redworld13]

25 people actually have a brain, go fuck yourself poster and join the crowd

[Mclumperty]

I'm sure they all cheered two minutes later when Michael Fucking Mcintyre walked on stage.

[phitdemon]

Yet another reason to hate the English. What a nation of scumbags.

[legatodnl]

@phitdemon this crowd isn't a fair rep of britians sense of humour. Its mostly 14 to 19 year olds who have decided to heckle everyone they don't know.... Stanhope is doing his biggest ever show in london in a few weeks

[CertifiedGooner729]

Faggots.

[alternativehero]

Crowd was a bunch of assholes and morons no wonder British mostly comedy sucks now, and before any whiny faggot patriots start whining I'm English.

[legatodnl]

@alternativehero this crowd isn't a fair rep of britians sense of humour. Its mostly 14 to 19 year olds who have decided to heckle everyone they don't know.... Stanhope is doing his biggest ever show in london in a few weeks.

[Joris85]

@legatodnl You're right. And you British people rock. There's a reason Doug Stanhope keeps coming to the UK.

[killblondes]

Doug is a f*cking genius is his own right, great things tend to be controversial...f*ck these sh*t stains!

[seasofluck]

"big fail!"  Besides pointing out that "fail" is an overused meaningless word, he didn't "fail" because a bunch of morons didn't like his act.

[PotheadPundit]

Everything is "offensive" to this group of twats. Stanhope is right, this is the most spineless pathetic generation ever.

[spazmodicrapealarm]

I guess they were to dumb to understand him

[boococky42]

That was epic?

[Warbrain88]

If you booed this man go and fucking watch Mock the Week you stupid cunt!

[JiangZiyaTabooDays]

The fuck? British kids really take the monarchy seriously and defend it? I figured the Brits kept it around, like the Anglican Church, for sentiment like a drunk uncle.

[Webbula]

@JiangZiyaTabooDays I don't, they're inbred reptilians.

I was arguing with some American guy on here and he started insulting the queen like I gave a fuck, it was hilarious.

[blueberry1970]

@JiangZiyaTabooDays I'm a Londoner and don't know a single person who cares about the monarchy, except for one or two who regard them as inbred foreigners (which is correct). That might be the view of a lot of these festival-goers, but if a foreigner flies in and takes to the stage to slate the monarchy (as I understand Stanhope did), I suppose they felt like reacting. Besides, if he wants to whinge about monarchy, he should travel back to a time when monarchs actually had power and influence.

[GriffinNary]

@JiangZiyaTabooDays I know! What kind of fucking students are they?!

[gsmith90]

This guys actually pretty good. Have you seen him on Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. You tube it you'll see!

[TheHibbleton]

Douchebags. Makes me fucking ashamed of Britain xD

[whatthehellimbored]

dougs great!......let these faggots go watch dane cook and die.

[JOSmurder]

man. seriously, i was there and it was funny as hell. and this is coming from a white middle class person. i loved it, and the people booing and heckling made it better cause he took it so well!!!

[Woozygulag]

I didn't come to the Leeds festival to see this, I'm off to the dance tent to get my face painted and then learn to juggle, I'm glad mummy and daddy paid for my ticket. Fucking wankers.

[Starsandfunk]

dumb fucking crowd - stanhope is one of the greatest comics alive!

Doug please do a uk tour - i promise you most your audiences will not be this fucking retarded!

[Franky000]

What a bunch of ignorant fucktards

[TonyBtheEG]

Doug Stanhope is one of the few comics alive who are doing the right thing.

[numbchucking]

They have NO IDEA who Doug Stanhope is, their loss. He's the most brilliant comic of our time, EASILY. thats not just my opinion, but talk to anyone who's in comedy and they'll say Doug Stanhope is a comedians comedian. I watched this whole thing before and there are a few people in the crowd that know who he is, for the most part though its all douchebag college kids that dont know shit about shit, clearly.

[Fredonia2k]

He took the hint and got better? That's how comedy works? Go fuck yourself, cunt.

[Greenbeing9]

@Fredonia2k take a hint and go fuck your mother, Fred! doug would sodomize your sense of humor.

[Fredonia2k]

@Greenbeing9 Learn how to read, fucktard.

[NazgulPrince]

Don't listen to them Doug,

[itsgaythatyourgay]

Dirty Hippy crowd

[MarxBakuninMe]

Idiots.

[TheIllestVillain]

This was the alternative stage? And people are complaining because he's criticising monarchism? Tards.

[TomSmithUK]

After he came out bitching about everyone in the World blaming the American's for Bush, then had a go at us for the Monarchy?

It was hypocritical of him to be completely honest. Like I said before, once he got on with the comedy, he was spot on. But the beginning was stupid

[TheIllestVillain]

Fair enough, although I doubt that's why people were booing. (It's a pretty elaborate thought process for a bunch of drunk and tired people to go through.) And he's only trying to get a reaction anyway; he's Doug Stanhope.

[frinkmhey]

The crowd was horrible, not Doug.

[crazypaul34]

Epic Fail ? It's a 22 second clip . I guess that's the only way you could try to make Stanhope look as if he bombed on stage. Goddamn.

[TomSmithUK]

As a member of the crowd, nobody disagreed with his comedy when he got to it.

Opening the act by having a go at the crowd for Britain having a Royal Family isn't the greatest way to get them onside.

Once he got past the rant, he was quite entertaining

[tuktuktok]

Its obvious you don't get his type of comedy.

[TomSmithUK]

Actually I was sat right at the front and enjoyed it, thought it was spot on.

He didn't gel with the rest of the crowd, and all I was saying is I can see why

[krelleishere]

Stanhope is a genius, but go listen to your generic filler line- punchline shit....

[jefrokd]

The irony of misspelling failure in "epic failure" is potent enough to make my head bust wide open. Way to go tard-o!

[wobinidan]

Wahh wahhh wahh, the nasty man said something I don't agree with. What a bunch of twats.

[crackityjones777]

This says so much about the mentality of festival goers these days...mainstream thinkers in 'alternative' clothing. This decade has produced the dumbest young generation this planet has ever seen.

[tuktuktok]

As a member of this dumbest young generation, I second your notion.

[staggiboy]

third

[MrToadums]

@crackityjones777 Spot on pal, bunch of dribbling paramore loving numpties

[pistoldisco33]

Dumb brits.

[staggiboy]

Thats Brits

[GSYBE631]

This reminds me of an earlier bit of his:

"This is the most boring, suck generation in the history of people."

He only means to say it's a suck time to be alive, not necessarily that we're all boring people.

But as for you Leed youngsters who couldn't take a joke, your failure to appreciate comedy outside of your narrow, dimwit, dumbfuck expectations certainly contribute to the failing of society as a whole. Go fuck yourselves.

[guns1ingerx]

And that's the reason I don't go to leeds / reading festival no more. Full of fucking student's trying to be alternative and failing badly at everything. 2000 was the last best carling festival every year since then you get more and more fuck wits. Who will most prob think sitting down watching and the mighty boosh is a good fucking night in. get a life and some individuality you fucking sheep

[samk20071991]

who was that noel fielding wannabe comedian that got horrifically booed this year that was hilarious

[frushtrated]

Stanhope doesn't sing, he doesn't wear trendy skeleton shirts, and his act is anything but surreal and high-energy. Their styles are NOTHING alike. Your remark is incredibly odd and off-point.

[mcmoogol]

Who the fuck booes Doug Stanhope? Retards...

[Calosu]

I bet most of those people think Lee Evans is just about the best comedian to ever exist.

Fuck them

(..Obviously a Stanhope fanboy)

[theopenmikers]

This place isn't really set up for stand-up, outside gigs are bad for comedy, even though it was in a tent it still is set up poorly. Maybe he was rambling but that is what he does at the start. He is still one of the best comedians I have seen to date. As a comedian myself, I know when a crowd is being unfair to a performer and I feel as if this crowd didn't give him a chance, I saw the other video and that is the impression I had.

[owenob1]

he took a while to get going but people definitely started to heckle more when he criticised the royals, or rather the lack of effort to remove the monarchy. Also, I don't think it's a case of him 'getting the message' and picking his act up, his act would have progressed anyway. The good thing was that the crowd couldn't ruin it because the heckling suits his persona

[Turbitt666]

rambling like a drunk is kind of what doug does

[hugh19882]

He was really terrible, and I am a big fan of stand up comedy.

[SockbatReplica]

Stanhope is an acquired taste if you don't get what he does then you can get brain cancer for all I care.

[staggiboy]

Those 2 sentences completely contradicted each other mate

[andrewsurtees]

@hugh19882 no you're not, you're some twat that's seen Michael McIntyre and Peter Kay on telly and thinks you're a connoisseur. You're probably one of the cunts that booed Hans Teeuwen off at Latitude. Two of the best comedians in history take the stage at UK festivals and all you can do is go, "it's been 10 seconds and i don't understand them yet, when's Russell Howard on?" cuntmotherfuckwankpaedoarserap­ist.

[TheBestInterest]

@hugh19882 You're a big fan of stand up comedy.

Let me guess. . .Dane Cook?

[KyProphet]

I'd be pissed if I had to live in England.

[owenob1]

I saw this performance, he was hilarious. He got booed for criticising the monarchy. Unbelievable.

[binloved]

I would NEVER boo Doug Stanhope! I would kiss his feet though! lol

[jzenman]

I suppose it's like showing a dog a card trick... The audience is obviously retarded... I tell jokes to my cat sometimes but she just stares... Whoever this cunt is that posted this video needs his ass kicked... Fucking faggot fog breathing cunt... And just a shit video all around... Oh who you got a camera on your cell phone? Good for you... Now post some shit video of your moms cunt for us...

[thecouchtripper]

is there any more video of this? I hear he got skelped with a half-eaten apple then ate it... that's the kind of clip youtube is meant for!

[hallilad]

yeh that's true! he just looked at it, picked it up, ate the whole thing then walked off :D

[Beachcomber95]

bunch of fuckin hippies

[GordonMorrice]

Correction - pseudo-hippies. The original Hippies had some conviction and charm, the modern student "bohemian" is merely politically correct and unapologetically upwardly mobile. Cunts.

[CraigRattleHead]

Who boos doug stanhope if ya dont like it go somewhere else booo booo hahaha Doug RULES ya cry babys hahaha

[ChrisCummins]

Haha I was there in the front row - a class act and one that probably stood out the most of all my memories from that festival.

[skitzaphonic]

Fuck it, I thought his set was class. Child pornography is an acquired taste though.

[cookieeatbird]

Ah, people have to have a real taste of shock humor to enjoy his jokes sometimes.
