Sometimes the heckler has the best line

[xkoenigseggx]

He handled it well.

[MaryAliceMcNab]

This comedian's response is clear professionalism, pure and simple: as the mic-holder, you repeat to the audience the things they may not be able to hear; as a comedian who can appreciate humor, you acknowledge when someone else has a funnier joke. I almost guarantee he incorporated this person's joke into his bit the next time. Well done Bates.

[chinopisces]

Humor is such a wonderful thing. It even keeps us from being offended by one another.

[CheddarBob39]

Horrible/not funny comedian. But I do have to give him some credit for at least having a good sense of humor and covering himself by just laughing it off and going along with it since he didn't have a good comeback. ( :

[maysonseyebrow]

At least the comedian embraced it was funny and shared the joke.

[v5u7sulh2]

its cool how he didnt get all pissed off and walk off the stage like a big baby like some comedians do.

[jfoley715]

Oh a dick euphamism joke. Funny!

[kwesi01]

The comedian is cool, in how he actually threw that off by acknowledging it as a good line. Class.

[CheddarBob39]

@kwesi01

I agree, but then again that is because he didn't have a good comeback. It's all he could do. Being a "cool" comedian doesn't make you a good comedian, because his jokes sucked.

[Marhleet]

the only word i heard the comedian say, was tractor.

[jonh2o]

I don't get it.

[LeBronForTheWin]

@jonh2o Tractor=penis.

[fookfocketyfookfook]

@LeBronForTheWin Ancient Chinese proverb

[navy4181]

He should've said "You can suck my tractor" to the heckler. 

[TropicalBrick]

@navy4181 lol wut? xD

[dumbo800]

"You need a bigger tractor," and "sowing the wild oats," are examples of metaphor and symbolism. This is why your English/literature teachers taught you this shit. So you can understand what else is happening in the world.

[raggledy]

Haha this doesn't really qualify as heckling. But the guy did have fantastic line.

[Konicava]

I don't understand, why does he need a bigger tractor when its dry? It makes no sense.

[riotking20]

@Konicava i think the man is taking the piss by saying he has a small dick and needs a bigger one, thats why hes had a dry summer for 39 years, get it?

[Konicava]

@riotking20 Wow so tractor is an methaphor for penis? Thats stupid.

[riotking20]

@Konicava well the guy who said it sounded a bit like a farmer so i bet hes a bit dumb

[havinagoodtimefour20]

@Konicava lmao he was talking about farming wild oats, which is a euphemism for going out and gettin some random sex. the comedian was saying that he didnt know how to farm meaning he cant get the women as easy. the guy said he needed a bigger tracter to sow the wild oats, or to get more pussy. now do you get you dumbass.

[Tylrmclstr]

That was great

[explicitscience]

fuckin hillbillies...

[edwdixon5]

And now this makes two "fields" where I'm often bettered.

[deepfield23]

rly nice to see not all hecklers are ignorant jerks :)

[a7xdude87]

Rare to get a heckler that actually has wit. Respect for the comedian to appreciate it too.

[JPVeigaaaa]

Classic!

[IggyIrons]

He's basically talking about him having sex, using farm metaphors, and the heckler shouts out "Maybe you need a bigger tractor."

[PistenBoy]

I dont get it =S

[obglobgablob]

@PistenBoy

Oh I get it. You're joking, too, right?

[originalbobbeast3]

I guess you have to be from a farm to get the joke

[Jyrow]

I like how he handled himself.

[Menegoth]

What's so funny about it? :/

[ordedonovomundo]

@Menegoth because the heckler's line was just ridiculous.

[randwan]

"I would be mad about that, but that's a great line". Classy guy.

[rockstarrist]

NOw, u know what's considered funny by an American crowd.

[klavier285]

@rockstarrist I'm american and I don't find this guy funny at all...I find your comment a little funny however.

[nocalsteve]

I would have said he needed a bigger plow.

[UncleKennybobs]

Wow, it isn't THAT funny! Fucking Yanks!

[eastendthug360]

RIP Eddie Murphy

[hawnkblade]

@eastendthug360 that weed is good isnt it?

[xXkiller511Xx]

wat did the hecker say

[JTudders]

Comedian: "It's been a long dry summer for 39 years"

Heckler: "You need a bigger tractor"

[greatestgod]

cant understand what the heckler or the fucking comedian is saying

[passiveMenis]

What the fuck does that even mean?

[oldfart387]

What a crappy comedian.

[OneWarmDragon]

I used to piss on dead taliban. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

[danieljgavigan]

@OneWarmDragon My GOD you're hilarious, and so original too

[bloodpool]

eddie murphy is funnier than richard pryor.  they're both hilarious tho

[TheSilverNoble]

I can't hear what the heckler said...?

[EedDeryi]

@TheSilverNoble Apparently he said he needed a bigger tractor. Yeah, I didn't laugh either..

[musicxdominates]

@TheSilverNoble maybe you could, you know, watch the whole video

[TheSilverNoble]

@musicxdominates My policy of only watching the first five seconds of every youtube video has served me well in the past. I see no reason to change.

[babyshambler]

@TheSilverNoble

The comedian is talking about having trouble 'sewing his oats' (having sex) and continues with more farming talk, to which the heckler shouts "Maybe you need a bigger tractor".

[TheSilverNoble]

@babyshambler I don't know how I missed the comedian repeating what he said. I blame my crappy old headphones. I can hear it fine on my new ones. But thank you.

[biggieboy2510]

@TheSilverNoble I can't hear anything, period. This seems to be recorded with a potato.

[hrdstylr]

@TheSilverNoble diirrrrr! lol keep watching, the comedian says it straight after it.

[MichaelGsTar132]

@TheSilverNoble the guy says it in the fuking video

[rastamees]

@TheSilverNoble

lol wtf the comedian even repeated what he said

jesus

[MuRKiinCooNz]

@TheSilverNoble 68 thumbs up and the comedian repeats it are people fucking retarded ?

[John27346]

@MuRKiinCooNz It's worse than that. People just up the comment because it's the top comment. - So you ask how does it become the top comment... I can't answer that.

[BlakZiplokBag4u]

@John27346 cos you touch yourself at night....

[John27346]

@BlakZiplokBag4u When you were young, did your mother say "come in BlakZiplokBag4u, your dinner is ready"?

[BlakZiplokBag4u]

@John27346 cry.. top comments are for faggots, if you care about top comments you are also a faggot.

[John27346]

@BlakZiplokBag4u Thumbs up to that.

[bipolar156]

@BlakZiplokBag4u holy shit i am so glad you can spell faggot. I dont know how many times ive seen some retard spell it fagit or fagget or someting even worse. Thank you for knowing how to spell.

[MuRKiinCooNz]

@John27346 Yea it's just Fucked. Plain and simple.

[JRuffinelli]

@TheSilverNoble

You might want to hold on for two fucking seconds. That's when Bates repeats what the heckler said.

Bunch of A.D.D.-addled impatient morons just keep getting less and less sensible. Are they putting shit in the water now?

[MrTelboy1992]

@TheSilverNoble it helps if you watch the whole video before commenting

[theanue123]

@TheSilverNoble you dont need to hence the comedian repeating what the heckler said

[Acrasiamelbourne]

@TheSilverNoble The comedian repeats what he said. Are you and 84 other people that fucking retarded?

[kinghabo9]

that was shit

[flyingtoinfinite]

Let's settle this right now. Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce. 'Nuff said.

[camerasmart]

@flyingtoinfinite Bill Hicks

[RyeBai]

I dislike when a dude explains the tractor joke like we didn't get it.

[sakahowdah]

Actually he needs a bigger plow.

[shabido1]

HE SAID HE NEEDS A BIGGER TRACTOR!

BY TRACTOR HE MEANT PENIS!

[XsiknickX]

the ppl who watch george carlin vids would go ape shit over these bs comment bout george not bein funny

[colotron]

Hold the fucking bus?!

That's the video vigilante!!!!!!

[minxamo]

George Carlin isn't that funny.

He's good compared to American comedians though.

[TheLittleShits]

@minxamo True that.

[MajorBuzzkillable]

@minxamo if george carlin isnt that funny, then no1 is "that funny"

[64thepoohbear]

no !! he says a BIGGER TRACTOR-meaning his other head-below...

[alexis2kool]

The heckler only has the best line when the comedian sucks.

[vigorousAtheist]

Not only could i not make out one word the heckler said, this is what i heard when the comedian repeated what the heckler said-

"He said i need a bigger dragblgn"

[SemiLesbo]

@vigorousAtheist "He said I need a better tractor."

[brogreg]

expo 86 in Vancouver on closing night We were in the flying club comedy house

watching Ryan styles and i was on a tear

i was getting more laughs at his expense than he was and the audience was loving it

He got so pissed off he spent the last 5 mins of the show telling the crowd to fuck off

Never seen a comic lose it that badly

[ryko26]

@brogreg "I was on a tear...I was getting more laughs at his expense than he was."

you sound like a really funny guy

[colliefest]

"you needed a bigger tractor"

[oohvahvu]

Actually if you listen carefully the bigger laugh comes when the standup repeats the heckle which is a long standing protocol that all good comics invoke in situations like this.

So respect to the heckler and his very nice heckle and kudos to Master Bates... wait a minute !

[megaspeed2]

epic when heclkers win, best heckle i heard of was my dad, the comedian was crap telling old jokes so my dad was shouting out the punchlines and the comedian got pissed and said "do you have any idea how hard this is? why dont you try coming up here" so my dad went onto the stage and stood still saying nothing, the comedian said "how do you feel now" my dad replied "...oh...sorry, you just said to stand here" XD

[2Halifaxion2]

everyone commenting on this video is retarted.

[greg313662]

@2Halifaxion2 especially you.

[TheMeeceKang]

Comedian took it like a pro. Well done.

[dacoolray]

[chr1sfenton]

Next time you use that joke, try his line... lmao.

[thisisacunt]

hahaha bigger tractor suck my dick

[amilagmail]

why they are laughing????? havent they heard a person called gorge carlin

[bbatesification]

@amilagmail who is gorge carlin?

[amilagmail]

@bbatesification

George Carlin. :P

[AnimationPlantation]

@bbatesification HE played Obi Won Kenobi on the original Star Wars flicks & has good abortion jokes e.g "Have you ever noticed that people in anti abortion rallies are the type of people you wouldn't fuck to begin with?" <-----Not a quote but it was defiantly something along those lines but Darth Vader ended all the funny when he killed him so that had to be his worst heckler EVER!

[paxpaul]

@AnimationPlantation What the hell does Alec Guinness have to do with George Carlin or abortion jokes?! Alec Guinness played Obi-Wan Kenobi, but never told an abortion joke that I know of. George Carlin told that joke, but wasn't in Star Wars. I think you might be just a little bit confused here.

[AnimationPlantation]

@paxpaul AHHHHH MY SARCASM WAS LOST IN THIS TONELESS MEDIUM

[paxpaul]

@AnimationPlantation Ah...I thought it might be that. :)

[FoMaShizzle]

@bbatesification noone...just the greatest FUCKING comedian ever to have walked the earth

[bbatesification]

@FoMaShizzle who are you talking about?

[036265]

@bbatesification fucking.. idiot

[amilagmail]

@bbatesification

greatest mother fucker ever. GEORGE CARLIN

[Ender8419]

@amilagmail Oh you mean the comedian... thank god you cleared that up... idiot.

[amilagmail]

@Ender8419

ok dumb ass

[NineMonthMedia]

@bbatesification you're on youtube, search him. one of the best comedians of all time

[Ender8419]

@NineMonthMedia You're retarded.

[mohnjarston]

@bbatesification Just die.

[bbatesification]

@mohnjarston I didn't ask who George Carlin was. I asked who Gorge Carlin was.

[MajickDemoniack]

@bbatesification You CLEVER BASTARD! That line is truly Carlin worthy XD

[The4thGuy]

@bbatesification (Slowly claps.)

[thatguy126]

@bbatesification he's a man that deals behind qdoba sells pot for about $10/g.....also owns a landscaping business

[JohnyH]

@bbatesification I believe he is referring to Jorge Carlino, George's Mexican brother in law.

[EAxMaverick]

@bbatesification Lol genius :D

[skaterboyask]

@bbatesification ...... looks like the heckler dosent always have the best line :)

[schmui]

@bbatesification maybe he was referring to his nickname "gorgeous" george.

...since he was very handsome.

[TheDevilMr666]

@FoMaShizzle R.I.P George Carlin ...

[Poopnose43]

@FoMaShizzle I've never heard of Gorge Carlin. I HAVE head of George Carlin, though. If you respect the man as much as most people do, at least learn to spell his fucking name correctly.

RIP GEORGE Carlin.

[rubbishrider861]

@FoMaShizzle no no no, that's tim minchin your describing there mate!

[Jaycethecoolguy]

@FoMaShizzle bill hicks?

[pubuman]

@FoMaShizzle Gorge Carlin? Nah, I think George Carlin was funnier than old Gorge

[MASTERZERO92]

@FoMaShizzle Meh, I didnt think he was that funny. Some of his jokes were alright but he got to political and all he did was cus. Dont get me wrong not sayin I like PG comedy but if you do nothing but cuss and say stuff is bullshit, thats where the humor ends and the insults begin.

[BradRapstars]

@MASTERZERO92 I don't think you have any conception of historical context.

[hotpockets222]

@MASTERZERO92 His humor deals with criticism.

[Cenobitum]

@FoMaShizzle word woooooooord!

[KamekoBruns]

@FoMaShizzle Not by a long shot. There are far more comedians, alive and dead, who are far funnier than he ever was.

[aKa12ambo]

@FoMaShizzle richard pryor is the GREATEST comedian to ever live.

[sloosh6000]

@FoMaShizzle Bill Hicks was better...

[passiveMenis]

@sloosh6000

Except he wasn't. An incredible mind and good comedian, but not the best.

[sloosh6000]

@passiveMenis I like George, but when he's performing it feels like too much of a schpeel, you know what mean?

[passiveMenis]

@sloosh6000

I could understand someone thinking this, but on the other hand, the comedian you prefer does not help your case and may even fit this opinion even more.

[sloosh6000]

@passiveMenis Sure Bill Hicks did repete his material a lot, he didn't get very popular in his lifetime, but it felt much more organic and you cound really tell he was just being himself and explaning his real ideas on stage, whereas I feel George Carlin is trying to sell me something...

[passiveMenis]

@sloosh6000

cheez whiz

[ltengelskirch]

@sloosh6000 I disagree. Every time I hear Carlin talk it seemed like it was off the top of his head to me.

[EvenflowBlack]

@sloosh6000 Dunno if you're in the US, but thought I should mention that whilst Hicks wasn't big in the US in his lifetime, he was massive over here in the UK. A much-loved comedian, sadly gone.

[sloosh6000]

@EvenflowBlack UK too. I know, he was much better recieved over here! It's a shame he didn't get to make his TV show...

[TimboH66]

@amilagmail gorge??!

[amilagmail]

@TimboH66

i corrected my spelling mistake. see below

[DemoraX]

@amilagmail RIP Carlin, he was indeed great :)

[livingwire]

@amilagmail George Carlin the King of Comedy

[DirtyCommunist]

@amilagmail Where is Gorge Carlin?

[AP93Playa]

@amilagmail "GORGE" CARLIN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Janusha]

At what point was this funny ?

[skinnydipper16]

You need a bigger tractor? What? Someone explain to me what that means

[neontetra1000]

@skinnydipper16 he is saying i am unable to sow my wild oats,an expression for having sex,farmers sow seeds and oats so he is saying you need a bigger tractor,in other words you need a bigger penis.

[jimmyshitbags]

@skinnydipper16 it means his current tractor is insufficiently large.

[The1stPoster]

Sounded like he said "at least they're funny"

[Q3ToPBuZz]

jesus, if that was the best line this guy must really suck

[bbatesification]

It is in Nashville. 

[carloandreral]

@bbatesification George Carlin or Bill Hicks... You might not only laugh and get educated, you might also get ready to ask some questions to the GOV

[veg330]

"you need a bigger tractor" - can I just borrow the hoe you brought with you (pointing to his date)...

[phishinvan]

Is this in Nashville?

[mzbluesky92]

I completely couldn't hear the hecklers line

[94981745]

@mzbluesky92 I couldn't understand a fkn word of this

[mendali]

Good recovery. If you can't beat 'em ... join 'em

[MissKatieToon]

What did he say?
