  • Great stuff, mang.

    

  • Did you ever get to finish the abortion joke?

  • this guys actually pretty funny

  • @kanyecheddar1 Why are you defending the drunk heckler? Steve Hofstetter did not start the exchange. Besides, people paid to watch Hofstetter perform, not a drunk moron. This moronic heckler got what he deserved!

  • who pays money to go to a show just to talk shit?what a maroon

  • @clarkheat1 The same people who drop money on movie tickets or concert tickets then have a conversation the entire time or spend all their time checking their text messages. Putzes. Pure and simple putzes.

  • Wish I could have seen the rest of the show. Especially since the improv against the douchebag was funny!

  • What's that tune? Also heckling comedians makes no sense, I literally don't get it.

  • @MegaFinkleStein Well obviously people like the guy in the video are just attention seekers (or just flat out drunk), but comedians are great at putting them down.

  • COME TO CHICAGO!

  • it kinda seems like u wanted this confrontation. i saw your other video as well. he said fuck flordia a couple times. of course the crowds going to react to some of the subjects you bring up. if u didnt go on your little rant and say " i dont give a shit who you support" and all that other bullshit he probably would of shut up. it seems to me that you seek this shit out as part of your act. which makes it lame that you posted it yourself. why didnt you use I in your title and description.

  • @kanyecheddar1 Right. Because drunk assholes never heckle comedians. What a weird-ass interpretation of this video. It's his job to make fun of the idiot heckler. Otherwise he loses the room.

  • @kanyecheddar1 You need to learn how comedy works. It's not part of the act, but if some drunk dumbass starts heckling him, he needs to be witty and on his feet otherwise he loses the room and people stop laughing because he just let drunk dumbass win. Learn what you're talking about before you speak.

  • your a very funny comedian

  • The heckler was indeed an asshole. But this comedian does really suck and should go back to his office job.

  • Note to self never try heckle this guy :p

  • steady, STEADY!!!!!!!!!

  • Lol you are great at dealing with those hecklers. I've yet to see a video of any comedian get heckled and psyched out by a crowd member, and I dont want to. Thatd be terrible for the show and terrible all together.

  • I love Waffle House.

  • Wonderful job of handling him.

  • Hahaha what a dumbass, you handled him well

  • Your awesome dude!! Glad I stumbled upon your Stand Up! You kept your cool though, but you kicked ass!

  • Like a boss

  • Great to see a comic with confidence. Isn't it "funny" how people who have no centre in their soul are always the first to pick a fight? They always seem to have something to prove but they're never quite sure what it is. Then they get owned and realize that what they had to prove was how unsure about themselves they really are. Thanks for the video.

  • Handled yourself well mate, good stuff!

  • seriously awesome.

    new fan; where do i sign up

  • Sir you are awesome! And the song's name is: Jurassic 5 - The Game

  • Awesomeness. (only made awesomer with J5 at the end)

  • I love the girl chanting "asshole!" as the two guys were leaving.

  • Hey man I think you're great too, I know you may not like this act in particular all that much but I'm basing my opinion on your other stuff too! Love your standup

  • Lol this is awesome. Guys like this make it too easy.

    And the audience was amazing, good spirits and attitudes.

  • I think the Heckler made 161 fake accounts just to dislike this video.

  • Great job! There's something satisfying about seeing a heckler getting verbally smashed to shit.

  • so what was the abortion joke finally&

  • You are brilliant, & I LOVE the way you never get really MEAN to this guy, and you never let him rattle you. I've done stand up a few times, and my ultimate fear is what this guy does to you. He went on for soooo lonnnggg..I would have lost it or forgotten the rest of the routine.You rock.

  • Yes, an excellent destruction of a heckler, man! Only better destruction of a heckler I've seen was when Richard Pryor, after a heckler yelled "Bullshit" upon Pryor's anouncement that he quit drinking, replied, "Bullshit? My Dick!" and later on when someone yelled, "How's your mother?" he replied, "What? I'll slap you in the mouth with my dick."

  • hey man this is great!! keep it up i think you're hilarious

  • Dude whens his next show i wanna see it live?

  • hofstetter, you fucking destroy hecklers, and you do it with awesome grace. I like you a bunch.

  • asshole.... I wanted to hear the abortion joke.

  • You're the best heckler I've seen so far! Hilarious shit man

  • @paxeman1993 You realize the heckler is the guy in the crowd, right?

  • @Meanderthal17 Haha, yes. Wasn't thinking when I wrote this. Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out :P

  • Steve, you're really funny. I think you should be considered the future of modern comedy.

  • You are PFG! see ya on letterman!

  • 157 hecklers have lost there girls to this guy.

  • i really like your stuff ive never heard of u until now but ill definitely check out ur stuff.... the way u handled them guys was a show in its own #hecklersaredouchebags

  • never heard of you before, but you handled it well, gonna check your other stuff

  • great stuff mate..hope i get to watch you perform on comedy central soon!

  • You are fucking good.

  • @thedugpar6 What's the matter? Hangover? Too much of the cheap stuff? Need a hair from the dog that bit you? Cranky alcoholic?

  • Alcoholics suck

  • I just became a fan. I don't like it when a comedian picks on someone in the audience just for fun, but you can always tell a true comedian when he can destroy someone in the audience that's being an asshole.

    Why would you ever try to pick on a comedian anyway? You are never going to win...

  • This guy is definitely the best headless comedian I have ever seen.

  • Comment removed

  • fuck tebow..thats wat i was guna do!/... dafuq

  • Damn, that was good. Great job, man!

  • 156 people were friends with the guy that got dumped

  • @TheSupernaturalGuy such a standard lame youtube comment...

  • @ramslak that's nice(!)

  • If you mess up and heckle this guy: First, recognize who he is. Second, apologize using the word "sir."

    It will save you your dignity, your job, and your marriage.

  • Hahahahahaha. I noticed you get heckled a lot. XD

  • Best heckler destroyer ever!!

  • Your a pro bro ive been to many comedies and no one has handled hecklers like you 

  • LOL!...Gonna have to check out your normal stuff...("Normal" is used loosely)...

  • you handled that so fucking good.. respect!

  • This is funny. I'm going to look at your page. I'm thinking about giving stand up a shot. Any advice?

  • @CornishRicky Know that you will not be famous overnight, and there is no substitute for stage time. Good luck!

  • @thehofstetter

    Thank you. I appreciate it.

  • @thehofstetter

    Thumps up fro you :), finally an intellectual comedian who knows how to handle hecklers like what they truly are. Alcoholic idiots. Hopefully there are more of your videos uploaded without being interrupted, I never really got to hear any jokes.

  • @thehofstetter are you the guy on the video or you just uploaded this?

  • @thehofstetter I really like how you deal with hecklers..the only two comedians that I have seen deal with them even better are Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr :P

  • @thehofstetter You sir are the meaning of awsome

  • @CornishRicky hey man...ive done a couple open mics...ill tell u what every comic has told me...just go up and DO IT! there is no better feeling when u say something and people laugh at it. Be thoughtful and honesty is good too

  • @jrd615

    That's encouraging, thank you!

  • @CornishRicky Even though i'm not a comedian i would just like to say expect the unexpected for example people like this guy in the audience in this video who can be really arkward, just keep your cool and turn it around on them so they feel like the fool like Steve does.I know that's probably the most obvious piece of advice anyone could give but i thought i should try and help out. I want to be a famous musician and both comedy and music are two very long paths so i wish you luck

  • I like how he uses J5 for his beats...

  • He must suck until a heckler shows his but... then thats when Steve is at his best

  • @YoungDreezee Comedians always show their best form against the hecklers haha

  • @AtOdinsCall Ever watched a Late 'n' Live gig, some hecklers can break the best comedians.

  • Steve is fuckin hilarious

  • he kind of looks like bradley cooper

  • Haha! This guys great.

  • 1:06 Nice voice crack on the word "fuck"

  • Oh fantastic ! LOLOLOLOL!

  • That shit is awesome! Get to Jamestown, NY! lmao

  • @TheRisenSoldier an economically depressed area like jamestown...??lol jk, i live in jamestown.

  • I don't feel sorry for the girlfriend at all. People with no standards deserve what they get.

  • I don't get how this has 566k views and the crowd sounds like there 20 people in there, people need to open there wallets and go fucking see this dude! If I lived in American I'd be to every gig!

  • lol I wanna hear the joke now!

  • Epic.

  • Really dude? You gave the heckler more attention than anyone else. And to have the rest of your jokes revolve around the dude who got kicked out? That's spineless. You need some new shit, homie.

  • @fudgsicles Needing new shit would imply that the crowd didn't laugh at the material he brought. I'm not a professional comedian like this man, but what he did was genius. Hecklers make for GREAT jokes. Because it lets you make fresh content on the spot, and saves you from having to use your pre-made content.

    TL;DR, hecklers = free laughs.

  • all the videos i see of this guys hes just handling hecklers in an unfunny way. the retard in the crown was more entertaining

  • you sound like homer simpson(at the end) .............your are very funny

  • From the evidence on display here and elsewhere, when you heckle Steve Hofstetter, you might get to laugh for a change.

  • D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-E-D!

  • If I was him, I would've said at 4:00 : "He'd be going down on you and he'd be like, "is it okay to smoke in here?"

  • @PaulusCunctator Shit, me too, exactly that. That would've been slighly better, wouldn't it?

  • SAD sad li'l pick up artist who tried to heckle :/

  • That was awesome.

  • everybody says english/american comedians are funy... i dont think so.

  • this was not funny

  • Didn't find this funny at all, then again, most Comedians I've seen are lame.

  • @mujuma Maybe your sense of humor is lame?

  • @Jessmo90 perhaps it is, or maybe I'm actually into Comedians that know how to do their job.

    I've watched a few videos of this guy, not once has he made me laugh, infact half the shit he says is either abuse or something you'd hear everyday.

    I'm not a comedian, I don't know much more besides the fact you're suppose to make people laugh, but I know I could re-produce the shit this guy spews, easily.

    Apologies that my opinion doesn't suit yours, forgot individualism doesn't belong on YT.

  • @mujuma unfortunately this long response did little but confirm you are in fact lame.

  • @Yoshiki03 my masculinity - 5 %

  • does this guy have actually pre-written stuff or does he just jab at the audience?

  • 1:55 Lol yeah. :D

  • I love the way the audience laughs not just at funny jokes, but also to show support to Steve, as an alternative to cheering.

  • Really hope the heckler sees this afterwards.

  • I LOVE when COMEDIANS destroying hecklers... PLEASE UPLOAD MORE!!!

  • I've always wanted to find out that since YouTube started, has the rate of hecklers increased?

  • you are good,but one suggestion

    d

    :dont drink,hold the galss etc.,you are only doing that because you are nervous

  • he owned it

  • LEGEND

  • comedian thinks he's cool, no modesty in that situation, ... have some class mr. comedian , you're just as bad if not worse than the heckler. "he who is without sin , cast the first stone" when the heckler said "I like you" you had to continue being a dick to make yrself feel better ??? cmon son get some laughs in an honest modest way continue tellin yr jokes and drop it bro cmon.

  • @greyxwind Well there is no arguing with a heckler. Basically its like arguing with a brick wall. He just doesnt give a fuck. And if you think about it. If the comedian doesnt deal with the heckler, then he wont win over the crowd and it'll probably ruin his routine because theyll probably be focused more on the other guy.

  • @greyxwind Translation: "Everyone's laughing, but me. So I'm gonna be the Youtube version of the dick at ur show." If u didn't notice, he kept the audience laughing (i.e. he did his job well). In addition, u should've noticed from the video that the guy was being a dick to the comedian for quite a while. Try keeping ur cool in that situation, Mr. Moral Compass. Ever think maybe this comedian just isn't for u? Maybe u should find a different comedian, and someone to teach u how punctuation works.

  • @AtomicElbowDrop Thank you for your response. I appreciate everyone's opinion. :) Also, he's a good comedian definitely, just seems to me like he had that napoleon complex thing going on fora minute, had to put the heckler down hard to make himself feel good like, is that really cool ? Is it actually funny to hurt peoples feelings, even if you think they're being rude? I don't think so bro. :)

  • @greyxwind A Napoleon Complex refers to someone who is constantly trying to prove themselves because they're shortest guy in the room. I'm 6'4". I wouldn't have a Napoleon Complex even if I played for the Knicks.

    I let the heckler verbally swing at me a few times before I swung back. Meanwhile, you insulted me when I did nothing to provoke you. If what I did makes me a dick, you must be an army of penises.

  • @thehofstetter never called the man anything for the record! just pointing out that it felt like the heckler got to you even tho you tried to hide it by making fun of him, i don't call peopel names you know? i got respect so even if a heckler heckled me i wouldn't make fun of him that's just messed up , that's a real person who paid to see you bro!!!! that's just me tho , i'm not judgin so no need to get defensive like you did against the heckler :)

  • @greyxwind "get some laughs in an honest modest way"? That's what the comedian was trying to do. The attention seeker wouldn't let him, he just kept butting in. As for "...without sin, cast the first stone", you've just broke that rule by calling the comedian a dick!

  • @dobbinthedonkey wow bro way to label someone an "attention seeker" , check the mirror and you might see that you like attention too, then you might see that everyone is unique and beautiful, thank you.

  • @greyxwind I'm sorry but what? Are you that ignorant, he behaved very well and carried on making jokes for the sake of the audience. The hecklers "I love you" was rather fake, and as mentioned he carried on after that moment heckling. Modesty wasn't needed in that situation, the heckler got more than he deserved and while I didn't find this guy all that funny he definitely dealt with this situation in the best way possible.

  • Lol love it!

  • That totally ruled!

  • he did good, a really hard position to be in.. would love to see his show

  • I love this guy! Beats the shit out of hecklers! :D

  • Like a boss.

  • "I'm glad he fucking smokes" haha

  • One of my favorite comedians. I wish I could see him live, and the bonus would be if he makes it funnier by totally embarrassing a heckler.

  • wow... definately gotta give it to the guy.. he handled that like a baaaws..

  • Why has this guy uploaded nothing but videos of 'destryoing' hecklers? Does he not have anything else from his routine to post?

  • @TheReelCutter "This guy" has uploaded many videos of material. You just didn't look for them.

  • @thehofstetter This "Guy" is you right?

  • @thehofstetter

    pow right in the kisser =D

  • @thehofstetter I hate that you upload too many heckler videos, but I love you.

  • @thehofstetter I was at your show at Connxtions Comedy Club in Lansing, MI when you destroyed the idiot that wouldn't shut up. That wasn't the best part of your set, but it takes a lot of talent to come up with great stuff off-the-cuff like you do. If you're ever back in Lansing, I'll be there.

  • @thehofstetter thanks "this guy"!!!

  • @thehofstetter oooooooooooooooooooo! Hand bags at dawn.

  • @TheReelCutter hecklerblogs

  • @TheReelCutter If somebody's posting a video that actually corresponds with the description and is in good quality how can we complain? Unless you're just saying you'd like to see more of his routine.

  • @TheReelCutter FACE.

  • @TheReelCutter and comedians dont like uploading bits of their material, because then, they cant get a tv special, everyone has already seen their jokes on youtube, so this guy would be very smart to show heckler bits, proves he is funny without giving anything away

  • @TheReelCutter well said Mr Cutter. And why does he refer to himself in the third person all the time, as if the vids were put here by someone else? And what's with the unbridled immodesty? Arrogance some might say. Perhaps he's a superherocomic with superfunnypowers? Or just an asshole? Who can say?

  • @TheReelCutter Because most comedians recycle jokes...and taking on hecklers, ALL IMPROVISED so its funny as shit as opposed to hearing the same shit...over....and over, AND OVER again. Perhaps you should you know go and look for the material or maybe buy a dvd

  • "Go Dawgs" that's not what Michael Vick said

  • this guys awesome hahaha. so slick with his comebacks

  • why do americans do that ? Why can they just keep quiet and listen to the comedian ? Thats why they're paying for.

  • @Monsterkosh Why does everyone blame the american people for everything?! Hell, the Russians could bomb Japan and you assholes would still blame the United States.

    Listen, hecklers aren't just american, there are hecklers in the UK, France, Spain and fucking China. So stop starting your comments with "Why do Americans do this?" or "Americans always do that..."

    Give these guys a break for fuck's sake!

  • @Monsterkosh hecklers can improve the show, as long as they do it with good intent and don't continue it for too long

  • Well executed.

  • Tired of ads? Can't find a way?

    Ever heard of Ad-block people? I didn't either until last year :)

    Download it as a addon for your browser and ads disappear! Simple as one click, and never worry about ads again.

    Except this one. But really I'm promoting it's use to help you guys that don't know about adblocker.

    Cheers!

  • You didn't just make fun of the guy, you outright killed his dignity. Nice job! Made me literally "LOL"

  • Two of Youtube's ads talked over this video while I was watching. Join me in boycotting any product that puts its noise over the videos.

  • @LAMBKILLER There were no ads. No boycott required.

  • @Stringprodigy I don't think my protest worked that quickly. You'll be getting the talking ads before you know it, and they're annoying as hell.

  • @LAMBKILLER Not if you use Ad Block (free add-on) with Firefox. I haven't seen Youtube ads in a long time. Give 'er a go.

  • @Stringprodigy Thanks for the help. I was getting really frustrated.

  • @LAMBKILLER No problem!

  • He's not really very funny, the heckler was funnier

  • @chrisnoaro1 That heckler was an insecure douche with "why does he have a spotlight and I don't" issues.

  • @Aquahutch you often see the qualities in others that you are insecure about yourself. chris is right, the heckler was funnier.

  • @noob2321313131 then explain why steve is the professional comedian and the heckler is a douchebag

  • @kerrigor778 why are there extremely horrible mma fighters who are semi-famous? no need to say anything else

  • "Fuck me? man that got awkward fast.. "

    Gota remember that lol

  • Holy shit! I found some entertainment on YouTube!
