Why You Don't Interrupt a Comedian - Steve Hofstetter Destroys Hecklers

[Ramsterous777]

lots of jimmy carr fans below this comment!

[4jane2man0]

this guy constantly gets hecklers... makes me this its part of his acts

[ballikeapimp]

@FuBarracuda you could have at least said Jimmy Carr rather than "comedian"

[ezio1462]

Oh dumb thought, go, go play. Be free!

[6anatolyy4]

wrote the comment. 20 seconds later another advert. lame.

[6anatolyy4]

stop with the bloody billion adverts already!

[HailTrueHeavyMetal]

Seems staged.

[pravkdey]

sorry, whats the song in the beginning?

[GammaJK]

Celcius to fahrenheit - Multiply by 1.8, add 32.

Fahrenheit to celcius - Subtract 32, divide by 1.8.

[Uatemydoodle]

wdf??? isnt -60 farenheit like -30 celcius? farenheit is double celcius

[FuBarracuda]

best heckler ever was:

Heckler:'' my mom died of cancer''

Comedian: ''i wasn't talking about cancer or your mom''

Heckler:'' Yeah, but it was funnier than this''

[ExperienceRed]

@FuBarracuda Jimmy Carr fan i see?

[FuBarracuda]

@ExperienceRed yep:D

[dragonbz4]

@FuBarracuda gratz you can copy louis ck

[FuBarracuda]

@dragonbz4 what does luis ck got to do anything with this? I saw this on a show by jimmy carr.

[dragonbz4]

@FuBarracuda i corrected my self

[999JoshMan]

@FuBarracuda JIMMY CARR

[FuBarracuda]

@999JoshMan yeah

[K0K4NE]

@FuBarracuda stolen from jimmy carr

[utuebmakeustupid]

@FuBarracuda Jimmy Carr is awesome.

[xRaw381]

@FuBarracuda off jimmy carr, someone heckled him

[FuBarracuda]

@xRaw381 y

[cardkoda]

@FuBarracuda

Jimmy Carr. Nicely done 

[AbbeyNO]

@FuBarracuda That was Jimmy Carr.

[asamayub]

heckler got raped with no lube"

wow

[JaffaaHD]

You seem to have a bit of a problem with Hecklers don't you hahaha

[redzer06]

duh american no understand

[Wallyrus]

So, not *completely arbitrary... The way Celsius is organized is more directly relavent to everyday life and the more intuitive of the two. If it's below 0 outside, I know it could snow instead of rain. If I'm boiling an egg, I know that water boils at 100. Fahrenheit may be more precise but people don't need that kind of precision in day-to-day decision making.

[Dawnphyre]

one day the US will catch up with ALMOST EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH and use metric

but yeah that was piss funny

go dumb though go play

[burns83]

US metric system is a joke

[SiliconBong]

Most of the commenwealth understand the metric system.

[soccer7539518246]

I. AM.CANADIAN.

@soccer7539518246 I AM YOUR FATHER

[rainbirdeleven]

@soccer7539518246

Sorry?

[soccer7539518246]

@rainbirdeleven kay do i really have to explain why i said that?

[rainbirdeleven]

@soccer7539518246

No you said you are canadian and I said Sorry cuz i feel bad for you, you fucken canuck

[hildegain]

@rainbirdeleven So he probably does have to explain why he said it...

[soccer7539518246]

@hildegain Im a girl.

[hildegain]

@soccer7539518246 Unfortunately your channel didn't make it obvious, I blame youtube for their crappy system.

[soccer7539518246]

@rainbirdeleven Loool i actually love living in canada i think other then england its one of the best places to live <3

[ToolboxMachinima]

Favorited :)

[RamirezRoyalty]

Lol i like how the guy says " I'm tryna figure out what it is", good atleast we know he's not an underachiever he follows through with his dumb statements to the very end.

[stalkingcat123]

I would never heckle a comic would not even boo them takes some balls to stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and be hilarious

[cyclonedorothy]

If you want to see someone ACTUALLY handle hecklers... see JIMMY CARR VS HECKLERS...

[hbdywtk]

Fake.

[cyclonedorothy]

@hbdywtk if it was fake... surely he would have come off better... ?

[BeanTownKid97]

my momma let me go to six flags because my grades were high

[LHP201]

The Afroman song fits perfectly, Steve. You're fucking funny, dude.

[brownkv081]

American Cigarettes are the worst.

[Wallyrus]

@Troublesome2008 ...exactly. Celsius is completely relevant because it's base assertion is the freezing point of water: above zero it rains, below zero it snows. The Fahrenheit system is arbitrary at best.

[janemarsh26]

@Wallyrus "arbitrary at best" HA!

Now i'm not saying fahrenheit is better than celsius, but it certainly isn't completely random at best. Mercury thermometers were made in order to have a broader scale, seeing as how alcohol and water thermometers alone couldn't measure very hot or very cold temps. When using mercury, however, the scale is much larger, and more precise, so a new unit of measurement was needed that could represent more precise temperatures.

[janemarsh26]

@Wallyrus Another one of the plus sides to fahrenheit and the reason it has been used for a long time is that temperatures outside rarely ever go beyond 0-100 in america and europe. Obviously celsius is nice because it can compute easily with kelvins. This is why it is the better choice for scientific research. For everyday use however, the more accurate scale of fahrenheit is usually easier to use.

[d4024]

@Wallyrus

just.....no.

[cyclonedorothy]

This guy is petty. He would be funnier if he could laugh at himself.

[DannyZproductions]

good shit, man! hahaha

[imasonfree]

lmao...He's was an ass about it, but, ey, comedians get paid to be asses...LMAO

[sarahxjeanie]

GOD I LAUGHED SO HARD!

[Wallyrus]

I've never understood Fahrenheit....Celsius just makes so much more sense. Above 0 it's warm, below 0 it's cold.  Simple.

[firstgoal21]

@Wallyrus Ok, stay at 5 degrees Celsius for a while and see how you feel.That's the inside of your fridge btw.

[Troublesome2008]

@Wallyrus

Nah, at zero degrees Celsius ice starts to melt. But that doesn't make it warm. One degree Celsius is still very cold. It's just not freezing cold.

[jrroelle]

@Wallyrus 1 is still pretty cold.

[Wallyrus]

@jrroelle ...But not cold enough.

[gahzeyboe]

@Wallyrus We had farenheit before, we're lazy/arrogant fucks, so we're stuck with it. Same reason we don't use any metric (except for measuring soda, lulz).

[MagicTurdd]

@Wallyrus ok fag

[Crysishawk619]

@Wallyrus silly americans

[mushlmushl]

@Wallyrus below 0 is freezing above 0 is not freezing, but at about 20-23 degrees celsius iit already feels cold.

[TheCoolermaster24]

@Wallyrus Yes, the metric system also makes so much more sense

1 meter is just one ten millionth the distance from both Poles to the equator :)

[Himmelgren]

@Wallyrus I'd say +1c is still kinda cold. But below 0c water freezes, 100c and water boils. I guess it's less subjective than the melting point of ice and the temperature of horse blood! But there's also Kelvin, where 0 is absolute zero, thus there are no + or - signs. Even more simple? -End Of Lesson-

[PACKyourSHITfolks420]

@Wallyrus I guess if you're dumb, you would want things to be easy to understand. Or you could just look up the conversion rates.

[Vossy0331]

@PACKyourSHITfolks420 even if you're smart you want things to be easy to understand. derp

[PACKyourSHITfolks420]

@Vossy0331 You must not be smart. Smart people know this shit already.

[Vossy0331]

@PACKyourSHITfolks420 you know you're wrong, get over it we all say stupid shit every now and then. cya

[PACKyourSHITfolks420]

@Vossy0331 I guess that settles that then. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[JonCollins008]

@Wallyrus ya here in amurica we be stupid so we pick the stupid things

[FreeHouseStore]

@Wallyrus Actually belov 6 it's cold already. So Kelvin makes the best sense... Above zero it exists...

[Mrdntply08]

2 fucking funny

[abcdrcill1]

dude's a fuckin natural.

[Joppsta360]

Hardly destroying.. Frankie Boyle said he'd get the house lights up, get down off the stage and pull this one cunt out by his head.

Needless to say I laughed then and I didn't laugh now.

[Ladyboss518]

I love wisconsin.

[OzzyFan87]

Not really a heckler dude....

[Fettotv]

Hof, you are awesome dude!...but, how and why the hell do you always get heckled haha?? your the only comedian who can make a dvd series on bein heckled while performing..you own every one dude, keep it up -- Fetto

[cheechanchux]

Really you hate this music?

You want to kill the artist?

Because that's what hate is

[hatercomments21]

@cheechanchux the definition of hate is deep and extreme dislike towards something. not being a psychopath

[insectsinmyclothes]

I hate the music on these things :(

[VladTheImpala27]

Damn, he' sharp.

[goddessnoire]

heckling, is when you try to interrupt the comedian for any reason, whether be to insult, disrupt, or comment..YOU BOTH ARE WRONG! NOW STFU

[archer691]

Troll v

[mulgrum]

@aleronstube:  Wow, are you off-base. Carlin is legendary for hating hecklers. And just because a comedian can do crowd work doesn't mean they'd rather not do the material. I challenge you to put together a sourced list of 5 comedians who like hecklers. Putting together a set is hard work and the audience should listen and appreciate that work rather than act like a bunch of drunken wannabes that ruin the show for everyone else who paid to see the comedian.

[DrewDubious]

"good now so are 200 other people"

200? really?

rrrreally? =)

[punchyouinthejeans87]

Go, go play!

[dazstar]

miles not meters...

[madmatix]

@dazstar What about miles?

[thehofstetter]

You can download one of my albums free at stevehofstetter dotcom - and thumbs up this comment so everyone can get a free copy.

[buefyYT]

@thehofstetter your comment appears at the top of the screen man :p

[NifftyyAR]

@thehofstetter don't you think it's kinda self-centered when you, Steve Hofstetter, put the title of this youtube video "Why You Don't Interrupt a Comedian - Steve Hofstetter Destroys Hecklers," and then promote one of your albums by commenting on your own video? I guess it's good to have such a big ego to hide the fact that you use a thimble as a condom

[senseijason05]

@NifftyyAR You don't think that bands put their band name after the song name on youtude videos or promote what album it's off of? I don't understand how promoting your own work means you have a big ego. That's like complaining when McDonald's puts their logo at the end of a commercial...

[THEMSASBOYZ]

You arent supposed to pick small details in comics acts, Just sit there and fucking laugh, No, Instead, Youtubers insist on going to the show and commenting lol

[aleronstube]

Bad title, bad rules. Nobody got destroyed, he just made a comment and you made jokes about it. Your ‘rule 2’ was completely ridiculous, some of the best comedians in the world made their fame in audience interaction. If you can’t cope with it, then you need a new job. A good comedian engages with the audience, not calls it ‘destroying’ them and says they shouldn’t interrupt.

[ThRoWBaCkTeXaS]

@aleronstube You are the reason comedians have such a hard time...you don't interact with the movie when you go to a theater, you don't go kick it with the cook in a restaurant, and you don't interrupt your teacher or professor; so WHY THE FUCK do you think it's okay to interrupt a comedian, while he is doing his JOB/CAREER? Dumb ass

[aleronstube]

@ThRoWBaCkTeXaS Incorrect, though ad hominem attacks show your intelligence level. Read what I said: The best comedians made their living on audience interaction, hecklers and chatting are what made them the best. Take a look at Jimmy Carr some time and you’ll see what I mean. Only a bad comedian has an act, a good comedian is a comedian. Bad comedians don’t want audience feedback because they are no good at comedy and simply read from a script. Good comedians can make up jokes in their head.

[ThRoWBaCkTeXaS]

@aleronstube You're arguing against your own point, and don't see it. 

[aleronstube]

@ThRoWBaCkTeXaS No, that is my point. I don't see where you get any other points from.

[ThRoWBaCkTeXaS]

@aleronstube You're making ad hominem attacks at Steve for having chosen an alternate route to dealing with hecklers. The heckler had NOTHING to come back with once Steve outed him, and therefore got 'destroyed'. You have the whole Comedian/spectator relationship confused. See, when you grow up you will one day realize that it is rude, and disrespectful to interrupt someone's rehearsed performance. I get what you're saying about Jimmy dealing with hecklers, but you're ignorant to compare.

[aleronstube]

@ThRoWBaCkTeXaS Okay, first of all he wasn’t a heckler, he was joining in with the act by asking whether his home country used Celsius or Fahrenheit. Heckling is when you insult or attempt to attack a comedian’s act, for example by standing up and shouting “You’re an idiot”. Secondly, destroyed means killed or otherwise eliminated, this man simply had a joke made that wasn’t even at him but WITH him. Thirdly, another ad hominem attack? When I ‘grow up’?

[aleronstube]

@ThRoWBaCkTeXaS ? Read my point: A good comedian is one that interacts with the audience and enjoys moments like this. A bad comedian is one who gets flustered and messes up because he only has one rehearsed act and can’t improv. I don’t know what you think a comedian is, but if you think a comedian is a guy who reads from a script then you don’t understand the concept.

[aleronstube]

@ThRoWBaCkTeXaS A good comedian doesn’t need a script; he can make it up right there and then (Ross Noble is a good example of that). If you honestly think a good comedian doesn’t want the audience to interrupt then you haven’t seen George Carlin or Eddie Murphy or any number of great acts who engage with the audience.

[ThRoWBaCkTeXaS]

@aleronstube You really are confused.... You're still arguing your own points, and are too ignorant to see it. I sure hope you're just a failed troll, and don't actually believe this nonsense you're spewing; either way I'm done trying to teach you common sense.

[aleronstube]

@ThRoWBaCkTeXaS Wow. I’m the troll? You just threw a bunch of ad hominem attacks at me. What about my arguments exactly are you not understand? Where is the flaw in what I have said? All good comedians make their jobs on speaking with and interacting with the audience. FACT. Search for 'Jimmy Carr - Improv' for an example of a GOOD comedian responding to and engaging the audience, not telling them not to interrupt as if they are giving a speech.

[Vighorr]

-40° Celcius = -40° Fahrenheit

[buefyYT]

@Vighorr what planet are you on....

[Vighorr]

@buefyYT

go check any converter, -40C equals -40F

it ain't useful to know, but that's the way it is

[iluvpurplestew]

-61 Fahrenheit = -16 Celsius 

[phlipashiz]

if you didn't watch and went straight to the comments you'd think this was a friggin math video

[jtrevin1]

I love your videos...hilarious! :) Do you ever do shows in Texas?

[frepi]

(°F-32) x 5/9 = °C

[rad4life1]

well 0C is 32F so you go from there

[ThePianistOS]

@eatgash The conversion is perfectly correct. -60F = 51.111111111C.

[srivathsa92]

@ThePianistOS i's -51.1 C. 51.1 C = 124 F

[ThePianistOS]

@srivathsa92 I must have forgotten the negative :)

[729Drew]

Have people never seen these vids? Why do they keep testing this guy lol

[tamu77095]

@eatgash troll patrol!

[twsx]

It's funny to me how people think they can heckle a stand-up comedian, who tend to be the wittiest of us all, and be successful.

[paparaderappa]

what's the name for the starting and ending song?

[matthouse078]

that shit sucked ass

[xCimotaxAtomicx]

hey hof, you still need a ninja with throwing stars? well im not one, but i can throw beer bottles pretty well

[18565792]

i love nerd trying to discuss celsius and shit instead of the video itself

lifeless loser's

[Normansmight]

i think its funny how many hecklers you get.

[XlSlothXl]

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9

Celsius =(60-32)*5/9

Celsius =28*5/9

Celsius = 28 * 0.56 (2dp)

Celsius = 15.56 (2dp)

So all you dumbasses know.

[riskitall25]

@XlSlothXl The dumbasses you refer to are converting -60F (as in the temperature he was refering to) not 60F like you so kindly converted for everyone. Simple mistake but still makes you look a bit silly

[XlSlothXl]

@riskitall25 Whoops, my bad :')

[therealjammit]

@XlSlothXl

222.038889 kelvin. Just sayin'

[XlSlothXl]

@therealjammit You so googled that... (Ps If you argue you didn't I am not going to believe you. Also either way, you look like a week bit of a nerd)

[therealjammit]

@XlSlothXl Nope. You're right. I Googled. I understand the concept of Kelvin, but don't know the conversion formula. Everybody was going goofy with the F/C thing I felt I had to throw in some sort of wrench.

[1x1x1x1x1x]

1 word ( fantastic )

[DongHungWeiL0]

@eatgash you're such a dumb ass... -40F and -40C are the same thing. and his conversion is right.

[JonO387]

@DongHungWeiL0 It is -51.11C. Google is your friend.

[Andre609]

@eatgash It's okay, I know this just isn't the right time of the month for you but all women go through it, so just relax and let your insecurities roll off to the distance. No need for useless defensive remarks.

[averagegatsby]

@eatgash Someone needs a hug

[kakashi76767]

whats with the stupid music

[Andre609]

@eatgash Idiot. it was -51 C

[zanishah]

this is the right thing to say. lmao

[averagegatsby]

@eatgash Im not great at Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions (and vice versa) but I do know a couple basic ones. 100 C = 212 F ... 0C = 32F and -40 C = -40 F... So there is no fucking way that -60 F can equal -15.6 C... Without looking it up, my ballpark guess would be -53 C.

[kaseysworld]

That wasn't heckling. That comedian got a little too offended

[Omni315]

So that's

51.111 °C (degrees Celsius)

222.04 K (kelvins)

399.67 °R (degrees Rankine)

-40.889 °Ré (degrees Réaumur)

-19.333 °Rø (degrees Rømer)

just in case anybody else didn't get it

[bmxrc17]

last time I saw this guy it was a vid with like 2,000 views.... holy fuck

[rlgaccidentz]

Well played - From a Canadian xD

[Sypha14]

@eatgash DON'T WORRY MAN.

[jjqueiros]

@eatgash The answer is B: no

[itspennysboat]

i just realized how is it even harder to be a stand up comedian. kudos to you sir. :)

[Sypha14]

@eatgash YOUR BAD DUDE.

[Sypha14]

@eatgash Why would -60F = -15.6C when 32F = 0C..

[BobOwner]

@eatgash Nah, it's too cold for that. It's about -60 fahrenheit and that's like... what is it again in celsius degrees?

[BobOwner]

@eatgash Not even close, mate

[pdblouin33]

Where the hell in Canada did you perform? You have to go pretty far up north to hit -51C even factoring in the wind chill. Not many Canadians live that far north - it's all fly-in communities. No roads.

[kalvinsakiller]

@pdblouin33 he was probably like 'i went up to canada for this next joke' LOL

[catchlightdame]

@pdblouin33 I live in Northern Alberta we get -40c maybe 2 or 3 weeks out of the winter, but he would have had to been in Whitehorse, Yellowknife, or somewhere in one of the Territories to get those temps. Brave guy, I feel bad for the non Canadians who come to where I live it is so hard to get used to the cold and can be so dangerous.

[brucelee6790]

@eatgash you did relize before you typed that comment that 0C is 32F and in -15.6C you moved celsius back 15.6 while dialing back farenheit 90 DEGREES! fuckin idiot man

[neeltennis93]

he performed at my college(Lafayette College) and i won a shot glass!

plus i talked with him for a bit and he's pretty chill.

i hope he comes back.

[SolsticeRyosake]

60 below as fahrenheit = 15.6 ish celsius, since it seem to be a big issue in the comment section^^

[SolsticeRyosake]

@SolsticeRyosake Correction it.s more like 15.5555555

[pdblouin33]

Actually, +60 farenheit is 15.6 celcius, but MINUS 60 farenheit is -51 celcius. The conversion doesn't mirror from plus to minus, unfortunately.

[MichaelSalemOregon]

I love it. The best part is this wasn't supposed to be part of his act but it becomes a great bit. Rolling with the punches. True humor. No script.

[vada2000]

i came for a laugh and got a math lesson.

[kweechy]

@eatgash -40F and -40C are identical so...nope, try again.

[fuerer24]

@eatgash Wow, you're a fuckin' douchebag.Learn how your year 8 maths.

[thehofstetter]

@eatgash Please google it before you incorrect me. You're not multiplying the negative fractions correctly.

[Maxid1]

@thehofstetter So it actually never stops? It's two years later and still... You may have discovered perpetual motion (or at least perpetual stupidity) attempting to tell this joke. I just hope the phenomenon of dogs years doesn't kick in at some point.

[dudupoduappu]

@thehofstetter boooooo you suckhh!!

[XlSlothXl]

@thehofstetter Derper it's 15.5C

You're not using your brain properly. Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9 

[MartyKnowsWhereYouis]

@thehofstetter Not the best grammar, but excellent point. Thumbs up for you good sir!

[CaramelCleo]

I mentioned Canada and one girl went "eeh"

.....I don't care what any hard ass says, that shit was funny.

[eydddun]

he's not funny, he's just fucked in his head!

[ChillOutShockakon]

@eydddun Isn't that what makes people funny?

[DemoraX]

haha that was great! :)

i know some people who call themselves comedians *cough* Russel brand *cough* just throw a thousand insults at the heckler and really act like assholes!
