Come to Austin TX. I'm gonna heckle you off stage. Jk I'm a fan of your work lol
I had a moment like that once. I had a joke where I talk about how I'm on disability and when I took placement testing where they try to get you back into the workforce, which includes an IQ test which I scored really well on (actually lower than when I'd taken it before but still genius range). When I was growing up severe OCD, dyslexia and with undiagnosed ADHD everyone always said, "He's got so much potential" which is a gateway drug to suicidal ideation when things don't work out. Anyway, the lady who administered the test was talking about my anxiety issues and my health problems and she said, "You may just have to realize that you'll have to lower your expectations, that whopper flopper is the best you'll ever be able to handle."
So, my soul now crushed... I tell the audience how I'm slowly working that advice into the rest of my life. Something like, well, I've killed all my plants so now I'm doing rock gardens with the leftover dirt. I wanted to learn guitar but it didn't work so now I play harmonica (I do actually regularly gig there with harmonica in non-pandemic times), and how because I'm socially awkward I'm lowering my expectations with dating, and I start describing lowering my standards. Now, being part of the disability community I can get away with some playing around but you really have to make sure you are careful when you are describing sex positions with a no armed woman and calling her a bus to come pick her up afterwards. The audience has to be on your side and understand that you are talking about the crushed feeling that social worker gave you but that you are not trying to punch down. She is supposed to be clearly the one slumming it and the punchline actually ends with her realizing that. I have friends in the community who would have been howling at that joke. I did not tell it well that night (and retired it immediately following) but a young woman in front, while I was describing the sex acts/positions spoke up and said, "I don't think I like this." Fair heckle.
Later that night, licking my wounds, I realized if I'd just answered the heckle/just social comment with 'That's what she said' I could have made it off joke and saved the set.
They never heard of me? oh that's cool I never heard of them.. FIRE
cat videos? on youtube? maybe 9 years ago.......
Used to be a fan, but you kinda turned into a Democrat shill Steve........ so sad
I'm from Rochester, NY and I am so happy to hear my city being recognized at all!
Phish. Rochester 12/11/97. Widely considered the best show of possibly the best tour in their history. I was there. Only time I've been in Rochester and I went to Syracuse U.
Lol I'm from Buffalo, howdy neighbor
As long as I can still get a DiBella's sub, bring on the zombie apocalypse.
Why
Lol i am from Modesto ( Methdesto ) and that shit was hella funny.
The thumbnails are hilarious. Idk it’s intended or accidental, but it makes Steve look like such a evil awful person, yelling at 2 people sad and hugging each other 😂😂😂😂
Omg I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!!! It's 6:09am and I'm starting the day in tears...I freaking love u and ur versatility!!!❤❤❤
Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I've seen every single one of your videos, and now it feels like when you catch up to an anime and have to wait for the next episode... So I'm gonna start again.
Good video/Q&A, man! I really do love these longer, uncut sessions.
5:13 he used the old meme there
You are amazing. 🤣
My husband and I returned to our motorhome that was parked in the back parking lot of the hall he was to perform in that night. We arrived a bit late and people were starting to pull in the parking lot. As I walked up to our motorhome I found a man peeing by the door. I came unglued and his excuse was that he couldn't wait despite the fact we were the closest to an open back door. Him and his wife went into the hall only to find out that my husband was the "star" attraction. As he got up on stage, the two of them slinked out. As a joke, the next day there was a (clean) toilet at our front door with the words, "Please don't pee on Nate's turf."
The thumbnail is perfect
Disclaimer: I realize this isn't the point of the joke at all lol, I just had a brain-blast is all:
Okay. I've seen this clip before, great stuff as always, BUT I totally have deduced that it's not a true story.
SO. The initial premise is all based on the idea of a reflexive saver line a comic uses, and that Steve used such a line performing to a crowd the line was specifically NOT tailored for. Keep that in mind.
So he says "tight crowd", his saver line which is NOT meant for this crowd of young girls. Then, the premise of the follow-up line is that he had not realized the implication of that line in this context, and followed up, not having realized the first thing, with a line that would make no sense in almost any other context but him having said "tight crowd" specifically to a crowd of young girls. Like, as a normal saver line for an adult mixed crowd, what's the joke he'd be going for with "don't worry, they'll loosen up when they get older", and who would he be directing that to if part of the audience wasn't specifically the parents of the other part of the audience? The only way the story makes sense is if it was written as a bit lol.
Checkmate, comedy. Still pretty funny though lol - I'm just exposing the gears! Look! Look at them spin!
SO MANY DAMN ADS ON ADTUBE.....
Scrub to the end of the video and then hit the replay button
@@ilovemypurplesocks then the video plays without ads?
Watch youtube with an ad blocker, if you can delete the app, watch it on your web app.
Download YT Vanced
This is not a critique, I'm legitimately curious...
Do you actually do a stand up routine or just argue with the crowd the entire time? I've watched alot of your videos and it seems like you just rip into the audience
Thumbs down on this video because it was preceded by an xfinity ad. Why couldn’t it have been an ad for meth, hookers, and/or murder-for-hire?! I definitely would have preferred any of those. And also would have considered becoming a customer. Instead of instantly hating you and RUclips for doing business with xfinity…
Please fix your channel.
wow. the whole world should check with you first before they do anything. you know, to make sure you, the god of employed entertainers, are pleased. otherwise you shall smite them with your negative commentary in fruitless attempts to shame them. good luck with THAT gig.
I’m pretty sure RUclips picks the ads, not him. And if you hate RUclips that much for it then don’t watch it 😂
I got a Buger King ad.
This video threw me for a loop trying to predict it. When the guy asking about your best joke started to get ripped on by you i was like "yeah, this is the guy." Then the second guy speaks up and gets booed by the crowd...i was like PLOT TWIST its the second guy!....then BAM original guy walks out. What a rollercoaster of a clip.
The whole "organic" thing always triggers a response in me. "Are these organic brains?" "No. They're mineral brains. 100% asbestos."
For me it's "all-natural." Like anyone has put out supernatural chicken nuggets.
@12:47 "They didn't know you," was me. The couple was already disoriented before the show started, asked me what to expect, then spent most of it staring blankly.
I guess when you said that was it to say they don't know he's know for these vids? I'd leave too if I was caught with my pants down... it'd show all the knives I've got. :(
@@NymphieJPWhat the... Huh???
i understood his question like this "what do you do when your best joke, the one that always works, doesn't work ?"
i dont remember who was the comedian, but he made a joke about whitney houston, the day she died, he didn't knew that, but the audience who were checking their twitter knew already
"Yes, for the cocaine some people in this crowd pretend to do." [Steve then wipes his nose]
Omg I took a hit right as he said
"tight crowd" .. I almost died😂💀
They could not handle
the Hofstetter style
I just went to check when Steve is going to be nearby... He's performing here tonight, started 38 mins ago. Damn
They didn’t know me? Oh that’s cool, I had never heard of them.
Lmfao priceless, his off-the-cuff remarks are what makes him great
They’ve been talking about a zombie apocalypse.
They couldn’t hear her so she yelled it,
*BRAINS*
Steve: OMG it’s happening
Oh man 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My 29 year old turtle Charlie and I prefer that people stop insulting turtles by referring to Mitch McConnell as a turtle. 😆😁
Excellent video.
I do remember this comment and the point I wanted to make about the Zombie Apocalypse! For me I'd want to be in just about any city that was as close to 100% Vegan before the population started becoming zombies. All those zombies would be shuffling around looking for their food and mumbling "Bran! Bran!" Instead of "brains, brains", so you would be safer. Unless you're Carrottop. They'd all flock to take bites of him
Being a comedian is hard work. Being a comedian that can improvise is a rare talent indeed!! Well done, as always!
I cringed when he said "tight crowd." Holy shit that was awkward. Haha. This one was fun though. Jarret is a nice compliment to Steve.
Edit:Jarret is beautiful. Love those eyes. He is also such a great comedian. Looking forward to seeing more of him.
I clenched when he said "tight crowd."
@@Psychol-Snooper that is a horribly underrated response
@@silentdays3753 It's a good thing! No need for kegles last night!
Seriously though... that was the most shocking thing I've heard on stage.
I was... agape! (pun plus serious)
Why cringe? It was an accurate statement. Likely on multiple levels.
@@joshh535 You're sort of implying that you think about children's anatomy indiscriminately... and that's a little frightening.
I'd go home too because I know every single road more than any zombie ever lol.
That's also a perk of growing up in a reservation 🎉
Vegan zombies eat GRAINZZZ
This crowd was awesome, couldn't imagine how great they were during the actual show
Yeah, it really was a weird tense, to be fair.
OMFG - I have never laughed out so loud from a line ‘don’t worry they will loosen up’. Gold
Wallet/knife combo actually sounds like a good idea!
I want one!
Other than the last guy, this seemed like a good crowd and I'm glad to see that it was just a fun Q&A, instead of it turning into you having to deal with hecklers. Not saying I don't enjoy the hecklers vids, but, I'm sure it's tiring on your part. As always, love your stuff, Happy Holidays and have a great New Year Steve!! (And everyone here in the comments)
How could you get a "what's in your pocket question" and not make any Bilbo Baggins jokes?
That's what I'm saying.
You da best man. When I get down (lonely, no sharing in person) because of this Covid shit, I dial you up. You're welcome in my home anytime. Please keep going.
Love you, Steve! And thanks for the mention of jarret"s name because I was able to subscribe to him too. Super funny guy. 😀✌️
Holy hell, I caught one in the wild. I DO think you went hard at him at the start, but I'm really happy were it went with the "Crash then Recover" bit.
Unmotivated eyes! Get woke, Jarret! 🤣🤣🤣
If we’ve learned anything from 2020 is that when the zombie apocalypse comes the U.S. is fucked in a week
Reminds me of "I've got something in my front pocket for you.... Why don't you reach on in and grab it give it a squeeze."
In reference to the question asked by the couple who leaves when it went awry,
I don't know how often a question gets asked where the person frames it like "What do YOU do when..." And the question they're trying to ask is "What should somebody /a person / one do when...". People tend to use the word " you" when asking about a hypothetical person doing a hypothetical process in a hypothetical situation. Like Jeff Daniels and Keanu Reeves characters in the movie "Speed" quizzing each other on hypothetical situations. Humm, that doesn't quite fit, they are asking what do you do about what each of them would do and not as a hypothetical person.. I need to stop waking up in the early hours and watching your stuff then trying to make a point that escapes me and I can't even remember what it originally was about.
But what it's in his pockets, precious?
String or nothing.
Lol, trick question because woman normally don't get to have pockets in clothes and that back right pocket is sewed on for decoration on all corners
*sighs*god forbid standardizing womans clothing so that's something functional and attractive 😁 lol
Jarett has come from the future, where we have evolved from everything being cake, to everything being knives.
Did this show have a 5 drink minimum?
Steve seemed harsher than normal to the crowd?? No? Yes? He didn’t answer the political question, snappy comments seemed little dismissive even if they where nor hecklers, just didn’t get the normal reaction from his videos maybe it’s the herb lol Idk
Wallets and knives all the way down
The SDSC crowd knows Ben Glieb jus _loves_ this at about 8:40.
If that IS what his date was being like, I feel bad for the guy.
"Just a bunch of zombies shopping at Whole Foods."
So, the usual shoppers at Whole Foods?
I love how I come across your comment as soon as Steve is saying that line hahaha
@@desicakes289 Same lmao
Omg he should of just gone with it being you. The whole trying to save face by saying it was someone else was really cringy lol. And WHY THE FUCK do you waste money going to a guy you have never heard of?!?! Of course they were lucky this time and got one of the world's best comedians! But that is so dangerous blindly going to a comedy show you might end up wasting money on a guy who is not your type of comedy or frankly just ks not that funny. 🤯🤯🤯. Wish I had money to blow on a show with no worries if I like it or not. Being married to a disabled veteran who cannot be left alone means never have spare pocket money 😪. Anywho enough whining.
Everyone have a wonderful Christmas and Steve I hope you and your family's Hanukkah was full of laughter, love and memories that made this horrible year seem less then it was. 💟💟 Here's to the next year being everything we hoped this year had been!! 🥂🥂🥂🥂
The Zombie apocalypse started four years ago
After I watch your videos and laugh my ass off, I read the comments from unprofessional comedians to quit laughing so hard at your routine.
Did you know that you can actually buy wallets with a credit card sized knife that is attached and can swing out of your wallet? I want one of those for when the zombies come..., I live in Maine..., if the zombies come here looking for brains they're gonna' be really hungry. 🤣🍻🍽
I live in Rochester, NY. It’s kinda cool hearing our city get a shout-out. But then again we pretty much are in the zombie apocalypse now anyway so he’s not wrong lol.
That inability to communicate in what is probably his only language wasn't alcohol either. Nothing more painful than watching stupid try to express itself and then get angry at everyone else for not understanding their complete inability to use language for its sole purpose. Tense. Subject. Just 0 knowledge on how to structure a sentence. And he has someone who loves him. So effing weird that's not a deal breaker. Sort of tells me more than I needed to know about her as well. Kind of people who make everywhere better by simply not being there.
Jonathan Winters once did an improv where he pulled out his wallet, pointed it at the audience, and said, you’re laughing now but wait till you see the flat bullets it shoots.
Can't wait to be at one of your shows Steve
Was riding the high of laughing at “brains!” “oh god, it’s happening” until she said the next thing. Absolute whiplash
Ayy shout out to rochester, new york even if we were the butt of the joke😂
I mean, he ain't wrong.
Dude, this had me rolling!
Having grown up in Modesto I can tell you there's a reason we call it Methesto.
Brilliant Steve 😂 “Are these organic brains?” lol
Kept waiting for the burlesque striper music to start up.
6:35 as a person from Rochester- you right you right
This was the best one yet 😂 legit in tears
I’m an Amazon delivery guy there
Hey, I live in Modesto! And you sir... Are absolutely right! LOL
Probably the funniest video of your comedy I've seen😂 (I just started watching your vids about 3wks ago n I became a fan fast)
pretty
@@tonyacosta4574 appreciate it😊
@@SlayerKai03 my pleasure have a most excellent day my bodacious friend and party on dudette

This is awesome I love this !!
“You guys are so goofy” 😋

Modesto!?!? Bbwwwhhhaaaa I’m from there-run man run! 😂
Was shocked they mentioned Modesto! I’m about an hour away from you.
PLS come to germany i want to see u live
I like how i kinda understood him 😂
Spot-on Rochester comment. Nice!
Modesto... FACTS
It's a special edition knife.
Steve: "When a joke doesn't work..."
Me: You give it $1,200 in unemployment
I really want a wallet-knife now...
Lol
Hey Steve, is your friend comic from the Bay Area? As soon as the video started I recognized him from a show I saw you guys at in Sunnyvale, Ca last year. It wasn't this one because I don't remember the couple but I bought your book and a shot glass. If I had more money I was gonna get some of your friend's merch as well. I hope to in a few weeks in San
Francisco if he joins you. Take care! *COMMENT EDIT* I'm starting to think I was at this one. A few jokes came back to me "deja vu" style and then you mentioned Valentine's day, and it was for sure the last time we went out before Covid ran rampant. I brought my girlfriend, she loved you. Wow, I just now realized your show was the last time we went out and your show will also be the first *BIG* thing we do/go out since Covid calmed down a bit.
Sukha jokes.

Rich people area.
You said "...but this joke wasn't appropriate for a room full of 11 year old girls." and I swear my RUclips cut to a Girl Scouts commercial.
4:30 🤣🤣🤣
Steve don't drink cause the nose beers work quicker
Nyuh! 😂
Comments
I mean... In all fairness, South Park supports all the things they make fun of. By your logic, they shouldn't.
Watching this from Sunnyvale and it's just awesome.
I love you!!
Wasn't expecting a rochester call out but im HOWLING
Oh, dude.... wow.
I mean, what do we call a saver that isn't? I mean, was this just a line with a savior complex? Like all the ones I used in college?
Now I'm picturing FitToFight doing a demo with walletknives.
My answer to the zombie question is Portland Oregon because no one would be eating anything, cuz ya know vegans
Must be Roosters T Feathers club. It has a weird crowd.
Hurray, Rochester beats out Syracuse once again in being the shittiest city in NY.
I bet if you tried you could do a nice smoky eye tutorial, Steve! Well, an entertaining smoky eye tutorial anyway 😂
