Comedian flips it on sexist Heckler — in which Steve Hofstetter engages in Banter with aforesaid audience Member. posted by Johnny Wallflower (10 comments total)

This post was deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, we've seen this comedian tell off hecklers before and this is pretty well within that same oeuvre. -- LobsterMitten



 
"Next!" didn't seem to carry as much weight as Steve gave it. There must have been more in context than the video can show.

Wish he would rename all of his videos to be in the first person instead. So you'd go on
Steve Hofstetter's youtube channel and click "Most viewed" and see this instead:

Steve Hofstetter Gets Hecklers Girlfriend to Ditch Him
Steve Hofstetter Finds Guy Who Cut Him Off in Traffic
Fan Looks Just Like Steve Hofstetter!

As of right now I'm always wondering if the "comedian" in the video title is going to be Steve Hofstetter. So far it's been Steve Hofstetter all the way through. This is just some advice for Steve Hofstetter.

He also produces a stand-up show on Fox that has been criticized for not paying its comics. Link

Yeah, YouTube videos of him smacking down hecklers are his specialty. Some of 'em are pretty damn funny.

He also has a few albums on Spotify. I seem to remember some slightly cringeworthy moments on one of them (as in, stuff that maybe takes his "social justice" cred down a notch), but I don't recall the details.

"Does it get cold in your glass house?" became one of my go-tos a while ago.

Steve Hofstetter stands up for women's rights and tells it straight to the man -- or at least some dumb fuck who wished he had slightly better impulse control about 1/2 a second after he yelled next.

I know we live in the age of self promotion and if Steve Hofstetter doesn't promote Steve Hofstetter, who will, but this was just awkward and not only for the heckler.

Same here, but I agree that some of those tangles are pretty solid.

Hofstetter's exchange with a heckler (which becomes increasingly one-sided, as it goes on) who wouldn't shut up about how they were German and how Hofstetter's name was German, etc, etc, is just brutal

So, is that his schtick? A sober person who picks fights with drunk people?

He seems a bit of a bully, to be honest, and not necessarily the white knight he thinks he is. As far as handling hecklers goes, I prefer Stewart Lee's technique.

Maybe the heckler was from Cal.
