David Cross gets Todd Barry booed off stage at The Bell House

For a little background, this was at the Eugene Mirman comedy fest's closing night. David Cross and Jon Benjamin were complaining about Todd being a diva, and not wanting to leave the Superchunk show he was at to do a set at The Bell House. David and Jon decided to convince Todd to come, but tell the crowd to boo him "relentlessly" when he did finally show up.

@jono11 If that's the case, then I missed it. But let me tell you, I would not love it if my friends pulled one on me..

[jono11]

@aisPanais Performance comedy is apparently lost on you...you think Todd didn't get the joke? These guys are friends, man.

Probably would have been much funnier if it included vid of the setup.

what the hell, did he rape a child?

Todd is a good comedian. So, David Cross thought it's funny to use the gullibility of the crowd to make himself (and that no-name guy) feel superior for two minutes. That was plain mean. I don't even think that he did it because he specifically hates Todd Barry, I think he just did it to assure that he could win a crowd over another performer. But I guess that depends on the kind of crowd too, don't it? Well, congrats man.. you won.

Yep, I used to respect David Cross..
