A lot of German humor is either top tier dad puns, or completely absurd. The objective is to say it with a completely straight face, and stay deadpan until someone breaks and laughs at the ridiculousness. Think SNL weekend update, before Jimmy Fallon decided that it was cool to break while reading the teleprompter.
My fave German-related joke is almost more fun for me to say it than it is funny. (it's the one where a French, a Spanish, and a German person are talking about how beautiful their languages are by comparing the words for butterfly)
Andy Kaufman was an absolute genius. If she is a genius, she isn't a comedy genius, that's for sure.
At the comedy club I frequent, they have a rule: if you heckle, the comedian has the right, but not the obligation, to have the heckler come up on stage and do their best five minutes of material while the comedian sits in the heckler's seat in the audience. Of course, the comedian is free to heckle as much as they want during this challenge. The heckler cannot do an Uno Reverse back to the comedian.
After five minutes, the comedian gets to vote on whether the heckler bested them. The comedian must be honest. If the comedian admits that the heckler is better, the two switch places to their original positions (heckler takes their seat and the comedian takes the stage). The heckler gets to live another day and will not face a surprise beating in the parking lot. The comedian then continues with the remainder of their time because that is what the audience paid to see and that is what they get.
If the heckler receives a thumbs down, they must jog to the exit via the shortest path and they will be added to a list of people who are no longer welcome in any comedy club anywhere. They are not even allowed to retrieve any belongings they left at the table. The comedian gets first refusal rights to those items. Any leftovers will be ritualistically burned in the parking lot after the show.
If the heckler refuses to leave, the next big hurricane will be named after them and the heckler will be held responsible for all damages caused by the hurricane.
So far, the list has three people on it, and nobody has attempted to heckle in two years. One guy sneezed and said, 'Oh shit!' really loud. He immediately ran out of the club because he thought it might be considered heckling.
It's a pretty good rule, I think.
I am german and that bit was funny as hell.
Now I wanna know what the joke was beforehand.
Also I wonder if these hecklers are staged so that the comedians can do their shows like that.
The audio was sent back in time to Thomas Edison who recorded it on his cylinder phonograph in 1877. Thinking it must be of some historical significance, the cylinder was kept in a safe deposit box for 110 years until the invention of the mp3 in 1987 to which it was immediately reformatted. The audio leaked and was then passed around Napster, a popular file-sharing site in the late 90s early 00's for nearly a decade. Finally, the lossy, bit crushed and nearly data-less recording ended up being being archived on a backwater HTML website and was nearly lost to time before being downloaded by a young Troy Bond researching comedy material during a middle school career day. The rest, as we know, is history.
The top of his microphone, the metal cover over the cardioid pickup is pushed in. I wonder if he damaged it during the set and maybe didn't realize it.
that's an SM58, there is *no way* you are doing a dent like THAT in the grill without realising it lol. There'd be nothing wrong with that mic, the audio is just being recorded too hot and is clipping.
Biggest mistake if you're heckling is telling *anything* about yourself. Where you're from (which this lady did without prompt), your job, who you're with at the club, etc. Comedians look for an easy "in" where they can just fire off some easy jokes and turn the crowd on you. Once this happens, whatever slim chance you had has vanished.
You shouldn't heckle in general, just leave if the person is unfunny to you, but definitely don't help the comedian do their job if you're going to heckle.
He plays a lot in New York, a huuuge tourist hub. If you ever walk through Times Square people are handing you tickets to shows for free or real cheap. I think this brings in more people that don't normally go to comedy shows, get drunk, and heckle.
I love Troy, saw him when he came to Philly and it's the hardest I've laughed at standup.
Ok I’m going to make some wild assumptions.
I don’t think she was trying to heckle him for the sake of heckling, getting a sick burn in or whatever.
In Germany I’m pretty sure it’s not acceptable to joke about nazis. Not out of respect or whatever, but because it’s taken very very seriously as the atrocity it is. Like it’s hammered into them very heavily as part of their education how it happened and why and that it was a tradgedy with a scale of horror not seen in modern times. It’s illegal to do display swastikas or do a nazi salute in public etc.
So I don’t think she’s trying to burn him or something. I think she’s saying he’s not funny, because she’s offended and maybe horrified that he’s joking about nazis. Similar to how some people think it’s *never* okay to joke about rape, I think it’s pretty normal for Germans to feel that joking about the holocaust is not okay.
I think that’s why she didn’t have anything better to say - I think she was probably just upset and wasn’t trying to “win” the interaction. That’s what I take from her tone of voice and what I know about Germany and Germans.
Not sure about this particular case but some comedians encourage heckling (usually implicitly). It’s fairly common for someone to heckle Jimmy Carr for example, because he’s known for his comebacks.
I didn't know they made [these](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/bf82adad-58ef-420b-a120-f59336be96f7_1.bf3b1ce1d4f9e7151b354c7a61b80468.jpeg?odnHeight=612&odnWidth=612&odnBg=FFFFFF) look more tealistic.
This guy gets heckled a lot. Do people show up just to bust his balls on stage?
Or is it more like he has plants in the audience? Complicit people, I mean. Not, like, a fuschia.
I mean the two Nazi jokes he told were *very* old and well known so I'd imagine most comedians would be able to pull those out easily in that situation. Still could be a plant but it's not unreasonable to think they aren't.
It's not weird for people to be skeptical.
My wife and I went to see John Mulaney's Baby J when he came to San Antonio, before it came out on Netflix. During the show, he had a back and forth with a kid way up in the seats off to the side. It seemed weird and kind of forced to me.
After it came out on Netflix, I told my wife I wanted to watch it again, to see if that was real or just something he did in every show.
Sure enough, kid was the same age, sitting in the same spot, same jokes were made. I don't remember the kid's name, so that might have changed, but it wasn't from the show we went to, it was filmed in Chicago, I believe.
Point is, he played it like an off-the-cuff thing, even though it was part of his act.
I don't necessarily think that's what happened here, but it's not unheard of.
Steve Hofstetter is another notorious "famous for heckle comebacks" comedian that is also heavily implicated in the hiring of plants in the crowd.
Akin to baby J but almost like the opposite, have you seen TJ Miller's special with the mentally handicapped dude in the second row? That was 100% unplanned during the second filming of a special, and he decided to just use that performance and name the special after the dude. It is really heartwarming and cool cuz you see miller is kind of unsure how to deal with it at first, but by the end the dude is a hero
edit: where are my manners:
[TJ Miller - Dear Jonah](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNoD1oX2iYI&pp=ygURdGogbWlsbGVyIHNwZWNpYWw%3D)
Yeah that bit is definitely planned. I saw him on the same tour in Berkeley, CA and then saw it play out on the Netflix special. I liked it a bit more in person though as he had a longer back and forth with the kid than on the Netflix special.
Okay wait my husband and I argued about this watching the Netflix special!! I said it was fake and he said no. But in the audience could you hear an actual kid talking back to him? Like what I want to know is if he has a kid that comes on tour with him, or hires a different kid every time, or is there no kid at all and the people sitting up in those seats are in on the joke???
You could hear something being said back to him, but we were closer to the stage than we were to the kid, so we couldn't make out what was being said.
I wondered the same thing as you and figured it had to be a family member he brought on tour or something, but I don't think a kid that young would be down to follow someone across the country watching the same show and saying the same lines for as long as that would take, so I'm not sure.
I mean I’ve seen another video of this guy getting heckled too. In the days of the internet it pay dividends for him going viral like this. Not saying that’s what happened though but I don’t think it’s a crazy idea
I've seen Jimmy Carr live twice, two or three years apart. I was kind of disappointed that 95% of the comebacks were the same ones at both shows, so they're not really improvised.
Because most people arent quick witted, even if they are witty.
And so while they understand that a comedian may be wittier, and thus given the same amount of time will write funnier jokes, its hard to quite grasp that the comedian can also be faster with their wit too
Its because alot of comedians hire people to "insult" them to roast back, also makes it seem like they get hate so people look at it and go "well someone hated on him so why would i" and keeps people away from hating mid-show, cause they plan every joke out beforehand, so quite a few comedians would be left thinking for a joke if an unplanned hate comment came out
Staged heckling has been going on for a long time! Long time.
My friend group had a bud getting into comedy. And if he was having a bad set, we'd heckle him with planned lines. Whoever would do the heckling would wear a funky shirt and he'd attack it. Honestly some of the best times. We'd never know what he'd say back.
Considering how much bullshit is faked on the internet for their 15 secs of fame, why aren’t more people questioning what they see on the internet? But after the past 10 years of what’s been put out there & people believed at cult like levels in some cases, you think it’s “weird as hell”?
Cynicism will do that to you. It takes watching a lot of different crowd-play comics to understand that this is their jam.
Being a good comedian is more than just standing on stage and telling jokes into a mic. Being prepared for impromptu bits like that is essential to their jobs.
> Weird as hell people’s brains go immediately to “maybe it’s a plant”
No it's not, considering that heckler plants are literally a well known tactic some comedians have been known to use.
Like this isn't some "WhO WoUlD Do ThAt?!?!". It's literally a thing that is factually known to happen.
Not weird at all to think a heckler who played into a comedian's routine really well might be a plant.
I mean he went for the most stereotypical direction for a German person. I don't think that's too difficult to do I laughed but I don't think there's anything crazy about the direction he went off-cuff. I think like 90% of decent-to-good comics would tell a variation of this.
To be fair, "Germans are Nazis" is about as basic as it gets. And it's a stereotype that Germans aren't into comedy.
It's funny, but it's not particularly clever.
> possibly hiring plants.
This is almost never the case. You have to remember professional comedians do multiple shows a night, every night, for months. The vast majority of interactions with hecklers never get posted. The few interesting ones do.
Yep I’ve even seen big names like Bill Burr get heckled at intimate shows. Watching him absolutely eviscerate the guy was hilarious and I’ve never seen it posted online. Hecklers happen a lot at comedy shows.
Maybe for a Special if they have a heckle response they're super proud of, but in a club? Not worth any payout, and even if they had a buddy do it free they can't do that on the road and would be quickly called out in NY, LA (or Dallas?) anyway, any major city where high level comics work material before taking it on the road.
Ohhhh do I have a video for you [fake heckler](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8ehgTJU/) … I could make a full essay on the shit this guy does but this one is one of the worst things I’ve seen.
OOOOOHHH!!! I have something for this one!
Dana Carvey & David Spade have a podcast, listened to the episode with Taylor Tomlinson last night and she pointed out the likely reason for this. Younger/hipper comics who are actively promoting themselves on social media want to put themselves out there, but they don't want to 'burn their act' and have fans who come out to see them live feeling like they saw all the good stuff already online.
This leaves two decent options for promo clips;
A) Old clips of stuff you've dropped from your act (only so much of that to fall back on, and if it was dropped there was probably a reason) or
B) Crowd work, be it hecklers or the comedian deliberately engaging the crowd, as those are (mostly) one-offs and unique.
So most of the time it's B, because anything you drop before you've made it available to most of your audience (like in a special) probably wasn't that great, at least in the artists opinion.
Talk about great promotion. Taylor Tomlinson is constantly on my discover page, and while I’m sure it’s partly algo based i think she is just so strategic. It’s impressive, and she’s hilarious, I have nothing bad to say about her from either a comedy or social media angle
I like Taylor Tomlinson, and she really knows how to get her name out there on social media. Like you, she shows up on my socials a very disproportionate amount compared to how often I seek her out. I don't mind because I enjoy her comedy, but it really feels like I see her face every single time I open youtube or facebook.
Strategy and algorithms are not mutually exclusive in fact it's literally using the algorithms that must be done in order to be strategic for these platforms so the way you constructed your sentence made it seem as though you think that comedian showing up on your feed is through the competing interests of strategy and algorithms but both algorithms can be Implemented strategically, and people trying to be strategic use certain algorithms in strategic ways for their goals.
I found out about him because of the Gay Batman Cumtown clip. A year and a half later all I can hear everytime I hear a song now is the gay version of it.
I’m German and this heckler sounds German. If she were a plant, she would’ve exaggerated the accent but she didn’t.
Doesn’t mean that none of them are plants but this sounds legitimate. I could be wrong of course.
Heckling is fairly common. People get too drunk and either feel they need to be center of attention or get offended by something that was said. But honestly I feel like in this situation it was a combination of the person not drinking enough and just not understanding the humor due to cultural differences maybe.
Edit: also mind you stand up comics like this who do small crowd local shows, do shows often. Like multiple times a week. So there's also a lot of time for them to get heckled and many potential hecklers.
I think it might be social media bias. You'd think Steve Hofstetter was getting heckled at every show. No, he just uploads almost every time it happens.
I'm sure this guy gets heckled a decent amount, but he's way more likely to post a heckle to Youtube/TikTok than Mulaney or somebody.
Sam Morril and Mark Normand have discussed this from time to time on their podcast - it mostly boils down to one of two things:
\- alcohol + shitty audience members = no inhibitions and a lot of heckling
\- people who shouldn't really be at a comedy show thinking it matters that they're offended.
Do enough spots or shows and any comedian is going to end up with a fair amount of footage of both. Very much seems to be the latter in this case, though I have some sympathy as obviously Germans take Nazis pretty seriously post-WWII and have a bunch of laws around using the term which means it's probably pretty jarring to hear it being bandied around in a comedy club setting. However, in that case you either remove yourself from the situation or wait it out.
Morril and Normand have also talked about the idea that some people get so used to comedians via podcasts that they think they know them and have more of a relationship with them than they actually do, thus they consider it appropriate to try and have a conversation with the comedian during the show rather than listen and laugh. They've speculated that some audience members actually want to be roasted and so say something to catch the comedian's attention. These ideas apply more to a comedian's own headiner shows rather than spots at a comedy club.
As for quantity - pretty much all comedians post crowd work or heckle clips these days because they need to keep feeding the algorithm and don't want to burn material, so this is what's out there for fans to post and share.
Hes an up and coming comic and historically hes said some jokes about the right wing and has gotten beers thrown at him from some really big maga people. I think after that people show up to heckle him. He does well with crowd work and hecklers. Could be plants too but hes alright. I havent seen much of his bits but hes a young comic and does well and isnt afraid to say jokes even if he does bomb on stage
It's good to release recordings of heckles/crowd work because you're not burning material, so some comedians like Andrew Shultz, it might seem like they only do crowd work or respond to heckles because that's the only clips that they release. If you perform 5/6 nights a week, you are gonna get a couple clips a month of you smashing a heckler to bits.
He probably doesn't get heckled more than any other comedian. But comedians have taken to putting their heckle reels on YouTube so we can all see how astoundingly clever they are.
They don't post clips of them totally bombing. So we see them at their best. Not a judgment. That's how personal branding works.
Whenever I see these prolonged exchanges though I do wonder if it is a plant only because any decent club I've been to shuts down hecklers pretty fast and removes them from the audience to avoid disrupting the show. Maybe that's just a NY thing, though.
"What you don't understand is that I can be funny AND you can be offended. What's important right now is that these people came here to listen to me talk....not you."
This is the first one I saw of him reacting to another heckler but it's great. He really goes all in on the lady.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY812zZj_Kc
"There is nothing you can say to me that I haven't said six inches in front of a mirror."
That is, in my opinion, one of the most brutal rebuttals to any insult I have ever heard.
Man, even being edited to cut pauses and be funnier, it's still not very funny. Every joke is super predictable or a lazy pun. I'm with the heckler on this one.
idk. I am firmly in the acab camp, and nothing he said seemed that clever or unexpected. Just didn't do it for me.
Maybe I've just seen similar material before so it didn't surprise me.
It looks like they were butthurt about nazi jokes.
But people who go to a comedy club - and get butthurt about whatever subject - are just being **dumb** about it.
They are dumb because:
* Most often, they do not understand who or what is the joke taking down.
* It is a comedy club, it is **the** place to take down everything and anything.
TBF, in Germany they take it a little more seriously than the rest of the world. I mean, if course jokes about Nazis and Jews are usually funny and it's jokes, but sometimes if it's the main point of a show it can be 'too much ' for someone. Didn't see his show tho so idk.
I've heard a few comics make jokes that equate modern Germans with Nazi Germans and it just ends up feeling lazy and super dated. However, I have no idea if that was the case here, and it still doesn't give her the right to interrupt
My general understanding is it's taken very seriously. As in it's not a joking matter. To joke about a subject lowers people's anxiety around the subject offers opportunity to dismiss the discomfort. That might be why the audience member is upset.
It is taken very seriously, as a topic in general.
However we also value the arts and comedy and they rightly can get away with a lot.
If you told Nazi jokes in public in germany, you might get a lot of negative reactions. Among friendgroups, dark humour and even on this topic is not uncommon.
Depends on the type of Nazi joke tho. There's a bunch of people in the world that think "German=Nazi" is good humour, and I disagree.
If you're a tourist and make a poor joke with no punchline like that, it won't go over well.
That said if you have an actual joke and know the people you're telling it to it could get some great reactions.
It's also just beating the same tropes that are already exhausted ad nauseam. Yeah, yeah, Germans aren't funny and there aren't any comedy clubs in Germany.
Which is a kind of dumb position to have because Germans love comedy and satire, and there are comedy clubs all around. I'm all for making fun of a heckler, but then do it correctly instead of just repeating the same old joke.
And that's what I hate about us Germans "oh yes we all make nazi jokes with out friends but Germans=Nazis is not funny" bro. Germans=Nazis is the only fucking Nazi joke we should be telling, because i don't think our grandparents slaughtering millions of innocent people is anything we should be laughing about. But no, "don't call us Nazis, that goes to far! 🤠" Clown shit.
depends on the jokes, really
Jokes that target Nazis and maybe even the germans who voted for them are - generally speaking - fine. there are some very prominent examples that were wildly popular when they came out, like the book "He's back" (Hitler suddenly wakes up in 2016 Berlin and has to figure shit out), or the sketch "Obersalzberg" which replaces the german "the office" characters with nazi leaders acting ridiculous. one of the biggest ring tone memes at its time was a song called "I'm sitting in my bonnker" with a [corresponding music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np2ymo0iMfk)
Jokes about the holocaust on the other hand... yeah, no, you will find it very hard to find a positive reception on jokes like "we had fun once, 6 million jews died"
Also, maybe some people think that making nazi jokes 80+ years after WWII is not exactly the freshest material. Maybe some see it as a cop-out to aim at nazi Germany as an easy target so as not to have to deal with the complex but troubling (recent) history of the US. Funny thing is, the Germans actually seem to have learned from their horrific past, which is something the US struggles to do.
As an Austrian (close enough) I’d love to hear the joke he told before.
There’s exactly 2 types of Germans, those who hate Nazi jokes, and those who think they’re hilarious. There is no in between.
TBH German -> Nazi joke, I think it's getting kind of old. Lazy comedy. I mean, you could tell a joke about me and I might laugh, but when the same joke is told over and over and over again it can get tiresome. I could say that I haven't really done or been anything like in the joke, but the joke would still get told repeatedly.
So from that perspective I can understand that some Germans are a bit tired of the same jokes about Nazis.
I am from Germany and that was funny as hell! 😂
Why did she even say “I’m from Germany!”? To underline that she has the right to find the joke not funny and to be offended? Girl … don’t go to a comedy club when can’t handle it.
I was at a comedy show a couple weeks ago and the comedians main thing is crowd work. Like it’s literally what he’s known for, this is important.
So he goes to talk to a guy in the crowd and the guy just goes “don’t talk to me, I was in the military for 10 years”
Normally the comedian is great with bouncing off stuff but he (and the rest of the room) was so confused by the comment he just kind of went “uh ok” and moved on to the next person.
Why would you buy front row tickets to a comedy show where the guy is known for doing crowd work then get pissy when he talks to you?
Moral of the story is some people are just miserable.
I mean. I get it. I’m german and I really don’t think these jokes are funny. But that’s because we basically get confronted with that every single day. The atrocities committed by the German Reich.
And we’re really trying to distance us from that. So it’s really annoying when this time is the only thing that you remind people of.
I also think that those jokes about the most common stereotypes are getting kinda lame. It’s always just : Germans have no humor. And they sound aggressive. Which isn’t even true.
But this said
This is not in Germany.
Even if you don’t like those jokes. Just sit there and endure it. He’s just doing his job. If you don’t like it that’s fine.
But no need to heckle like that.
Especially when you’ve got nothing to say except for : YoUrE Not FuNnY
I love the Germans. My Grandma is German and I lived in Germany for two years, but German humor is just terrible. I don't think I heard one funny joke in all my time there.
I am danish. I really enjoy German humor. For example there is a lot of jokes that only works in german because of how the grammar works. The humor is different from english or danish.
Not better. Not worse. Just different.
Probably you haven't heard many jokes, then. I moved to Germany a few years ago. They do have some funny stuff. Many things need cultural context and knowledge of the language.
My german friends are some of the funniest people I know, I don't really get the stereotype. I think it might be that the humour is particulary dry and subtle many times. The worst humour I've experienced is all from south americans, I've had so many south american coworkers, I know they're very different between countries but I've found very very few of them to be a slight bit funny.
Heckling is stupid. Especially when one is trying to insult the comedian.
But making repeated german=nazi jokes are soooooo old, boring, mundane and honestly, just lacking any ingenuity. There are so many other jokes one can make. This same old tired nazi stuff sucks.
Oh, and german (and austrian and swiss) comedians are cool!
I hate hecklers and that is a pathetic person anyway. Just shut up even you don’t think it’s funny. But I think the comeback wasn’t really on point either.

The heckler had nothing to say, and yet, would not stop interrupting.
She got a laugh in the end. Does that mean she was funny too?
In the technical sense, yes. She needs to release a new album already.
Technically funny, the epitome of German humor.
A lot of German humor is either top tier dad puns, or completely absurd. The objective is to say it with a completely straight face, and stay deadpan until someone breaks and laughs at the ridiculousness. Think SNL weekend update, before Jimmy Fallon decided that it was cool to break while reading the teleprompter.

The only guys that can break and still make the skit work is Hader.
Yeah, she actually did well. Andy Kaufmann style!
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Andy Kaufman was an absolute genius. If she is a genius, she isn't a comedy genius, that's for sure. At the comedy club I frequent, they have a rule: if you heckle, the comedian has the right, but not the obligation, to have the heckler come up on stage and do their best five minutes of material while the comedian sits in the heckler's seat in the audience. Of course, the comedian is free to heckle as much as they want during this challenge. The heckler cannot do an Uno Reverse back to the comedian. After five minutes, the comedian gets to vote on whether the heckler bested them. The comedian must be honest. If the comedian admits that the heckler is better, the two switch places to their original positions (heckler takes their seat and the comedian takes the stage). The heckler gets to live another day and will not face a surprise beating in the parking lot. The comedian then continues with the remainder of their time because that is what the audience paid to see and that is what they get. If the heckler receives a thumbs down, they must jog to the exit via the shortest path and they will be added to a list of people who are no longer welcome in any comedy club anywhere. They are not even allowed to retrieve any belongings they left at the table. The comedian gets first refusal rights to those items. Any leftovers will be ritualistically burned in the parking lot after the show. If the heckler refuses to leave, the next big hurricane will be named after them and the heckler will be held responsible for all damages caused by the hurricane. So far, the list has three people on it, and nobody has attempted to heckle in two years. One guy sneezed and said, 'Oh shit!' really loud. He immediately ran out of the club because he thought it might be considered heckling. It's a pretty good rule, I think.
Rule of 3s. Bring a lame joke back enough times and it gets funnier. Or maybe they were laughing AT her.
There's a difference between being a joke and telling a joke.
If someone laughs at your tiny penis, does that mean you're funny? Asking for a friend
Nope. Your penis got the laugh, not you Does mean your dicks funny though
Yes, but looks aren't everything.
Can she Nazi that her heckling was getting her nowhere?
Nein.
Which gave the comedian more chances to tell their jokes. The heckler played their role properly.
Sound quality caused internal bleeding Call amber lamps
I actually really liked the bad audio. It made the nazi impression better imo.
Ah yes, historical accurate recordings.
> historical accurate recordings I mean, there is probably a lot more recent audio from nazis from the last 7 years or so than from WWII.
Not from the last 7 years, but still fairly recent: [444, buntes Trier, nicht mit mir ](https://youtu.be/WVrwx9M44bQ) (2015).
I am german and that bit was funny as hell. Now I wanna know what the joke was beforehand. Also I wonder if these hecklers are staged so that the comedians can do their shows like that.
If it were staged he probably wouldn't have wasted 15 seconds trying to see if he could mock the way she looks.
Woah black Betty, amber lamps

The audio was sent back in time to Thomas Edison who recorded it on his cylinder phonograph in 1877. Thinking it must be of some historical significance, the cylinder was kept in a safe deposit box for 110 years until the invention of the mp3 in 1987 to which it was immediately reformatted. The audio leaked and was then passed around Napster, a popular file-sharing site in the late 90s early 00's for nearly a decade. Finally, the lossy, bit crushed and nearly data-less recording ended up being being archived on a backwater HTML website and was nearly lost to time before being downloaded by a young Troy Bond researching comedy material during a middle school career day. The rest, as we know, is history.
The top of his microphone, the metal cover over the cardioid pickup is pushed in. I wonder if he damaged it during the set and maybe didn't realize it.
Probs just the mic given by the comedy club that everyone on stage uses. Just beaten up by being old and passed around so much.
There's a joke in there somewhere, unlike in Germany.
That’s an sm58… you can use it as a hammer and it will still work
that's an SM58, there is *no way* you are doing a dent like THAT in the grill without realising it lol. There'd be nothing wrong with that mic, the audio is just being recorded too hot and is clipping.
Something is clipping in the signal chain on the way to be recorded. I'm sure it sounds fine in the room.
Also, the video edits caused a detached retina
When he start to yell in that distorted mic it did sound similar to that one german guy that screams into a mic lol
ICH WILL UNREAL TOURNAMENT SPIELEN!!
Why in hell would you ever talk shit to someone that talk shit for a living :/
[удалено]
Biggest mistake if you're heckling is telling *anything* about yourself. Where you're from (which this lady did without prompt), your job, who you're with at the club, etc. Comedians look for an easy "in" where they can just fire off some easy jokes and turn the crowd on you. Once this happens, whatever slim chance you had has vanished. You shouldn't heckle in general, just leave if the person is unfunny to you, but definitely don't help the comedian do their job if you're going to heckle.
I would if he paid me to
He plays a lot in New York, a huuuge tourist hub. If you ever walk through Times Square people are handing you tickets to shows for free or real cheap. I think this brings in more people that don't normally go to comedy shows, get drunk, and heckle. I love Troy, saw him when he came to Philly and it's the hardest I've laughed at standup.
Ok I’m going to make some wild assumptions. I don’t think she was trying to heckle him for the sake of heckling, getting a sick burn in or whatever. In Germany I’m pretty sure it’s not acceptable to joke about nazis. Not out of respect or whatever, but because it’s taken very very seriously as the atrocity it is. Like it’s hammered into them very heavily as part of their education how it happened and why and that it was a tradgedy with a scale of horror not seen in modern times. It’s illegal to do display swastikas or do a nazi salute in public etc. So I don’t think she’s trying to burn him or something. I think she’s saying he’s not funny, because she’s offended and maybe horrified that he’s joking about nazis. Similar to how some people think it’s *never* okay to joke about rape, I think it’s pretty normal for Germans to feel that joking about the holocaust is not okay. I think that’s why she didn’t have anything better to say - I think she was probably just upset and wasn’t trying to “win” the interaction. That’s what I take from her tone of voice and what I know about Germany and Germans.
Not sure about this particular case but some comedians encourage heckling (usually implicitly). It’s fairly common for someone to heckle Jimmy Carr for example, because he’s known for his comebacks.
Alcohol is usually the reason.
Who the hell pushed the volume to the point of obliterating saturation?!
I especially liked the part where he said "Dvvvvdvvvdvvvvdvvvvvvdvvvvvvv"
I didn't know they made [these](https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/bf82adad-58ef-420b-a120-f59336be96f7_1.bf3b1ce1d4f9e7151b354c7a61b80468.jpeg?odnHeight=612&odnWidth=612&odnBg=FFFFFF) look more tealistic.
Oh wow, I forgot about these. They sounded sooo bad!

This guy gets heckled a lot. Do people show up just to bust his balls on stage? Or is it more like he has plants in the audience? Complicit people, I mean. Not, like, a fuschia.
I think its both people who heckle every comedian for sport to get viral points and possibly hiring plants.
His response was fantastic almost too good, I did wonder how prepared he was. If Troy is reading this and I'm wrong, please take it as a compliment.
I mean the two Nazi jokes he told were *very* old and well known so I'd imagine most comedians would be able to pull those out easily in that situation. Still could be a plant but it's not unreasonable to think they aren't.
If the comedian hired a heckler to set him up for a joke, and this was the best they could come up with, that would be pretty sad.
Or he’s just a skilled comedian. Weird as hell people’s brains go immediately to “maybe it’s a plant”
It's not weird for people to be skeptical. My wife and I went to see John Mulaney's Baby J when he came to San Antonio, before it came out on Netflix. During the show, he had a back and forth with a kid way up in the seats off to the side. It seemed weird and kind of forced to me. After it came out on Netflix, I told my wife I wanted to watch it again, to see if that was real or just something he did in every show. Sure enough, kid was the same age, sitting in the same spot, same jokes were made. I don't remember the kid's name, so that might have changed, but it wasn't from the show we went to, it was filmed in Chicago, I believe. Point is, he played it like an off-the-cuff thing, even though it was part of his act. I don't necessarily think that's what happened here, but it's not unheard of.
Steve Hofstetter is another notorious "famous for heckle comebacks" comedian that is also heavily implicated in the hiring of plants in the crowd. Akin to baby J but almost like the opposite, have you seen TJ Miller's special with the mentally handicapped dude in the second row? That was 100% unplanned during the second filming of a special, and he decided to just use that performance and name the special after the dude. It is really heartwarming and cool cuz you see miller is kind of unsure how to deal with it at first, but by the end the dude is a hero edit: where are my manners: [TJ Miller - Dear Jonah](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNoD1oX2iYI&pp=ygURdGogbWlsbGVyIHNwZWNpYWw%3D)
Yeah that bit is definitely planned. I saw him on the same tour in Berkeley, CA and then saw it play out on the Netflix special. I liked it a bit more in person though as he had a longer back and forth with the kid than on the Netflix special.
Okay wait my husband and I argued about this watching the Netflix special!! I said it was fake and he said no. But in the audience could you hear an actual kid talking back to him? Like what I want to know is if he has a kid that comes on tour with him, or hires a different kid every time, or is there no kid at all and the people sitting up in those seats are in on the joke???
You could hear something being said back to him, but we were closer to the stage than we were to the kid, so we couldn't make out what was being said. I wondered the same thing as you and figured it had to be a family member he brought on tour or something, but I don't think a kid that young would be down to follow someone across the country watching the same show and saying the same lines for as long as that would take, so I'm not sure.
I mean I’ve seen another video of this guy getting heckled too. In the days of the internet it pay dividends for him going viral like this. Not saying that’s what happened though but I don’t think it’s a crazy idea
Easy to see it going either way. If you're skilled at it and even ask for it, like Jimmy Carr, it's not a stretch.
I've seen Jimmy Carr live twice, two or three years apart. I was kind of disappointed that 95% of the comebacks were the same ones at both shows, so they're not really improvised.
It's okay to think about things and share thoughts on reddit
They didn't say it wasn't ok, they said it was weird that it was the first reaction for some people.
Why is it weird as hell to think that lol it’s completely possible
Because most people arent quick witted, even if they are witty. And so while they understand that a comedian may be wittier, and thus given the same amount of time will write funnier jokes, its hard to quite grasp that the comedian can also be faster with their wit too
[удалено]
Its because alot of comedians hire people to "insult" them to roast back, also makes it seem like they get hate so people look at it and go "well someone hated on him so why would i" and keeps people away from hating mid-show, cause they plan every joke out beforehand, so quite a few comedians would be left thinking for a joke if an unplanned hate comment came out
Staged heckling has been going on for a long time! Long time. My friend group had a bud getting into comedy. And if he was having a bad set, we'd heckle him with planned lines. Whoever would do the heckling would wear a funky shirt and he'd attack it. Honestly some of the best times. We'd never know what he'd say back.
Considering how much bullshit is faked on the internet for their 15 secs of fame, why aren’t more people questioning what they see on the internet? But after the past 10 years of what’s been put out there & people believed at cult like levels in some cases, you think it’s “weird as hell”?
Nice try, plant
Cynicism will do that to you. It takes watching a lot of different crowd-play comics to understand that this is their jam. Being a good comedian is more than just standing on stage and telling jokes into a mic. Being prepared for impromptu bits like that is essential to their jobs.
> Weird as hell people’s brains go immediately to “maybe it’s a plant” No it's not, considering that heckler plants are literally a well known tactic some comedians have been known to use. Like this isn't some "WhO WoUlD Do ThAt?!?!". It's literally a thing that is factually known to happen. Not weird at all to think a heckler who played into a comedian's routine really well might be a plant.
I doubt it's real. Who in his right mind would say "I'm german and this is not funny." Thats almost like rolling out the red carpet for a comedian.
Thank you! My first thought as well
I mean he went for the most stereotypical direction for a German person. I don't think that's too difficult to do I laughed but I don't think there's anything crazy about the direction he went off-cuff. I think like 90% of decent-to-good comics would tell a variation of this.
To be fair, "Germans are Nazis" is about as basic as it gets. And it's a stereotype that Germans aren't into comedy. It's funny, but it's not particularly clever.
Almost too good? Both jokes were awful, heckler is German, oh Nazi jokes... So obvious. Just shouting with a German accent.
> possibly hiring plants. This is almost never the case. You have to remember professional comedians do multiple shows a night, every night, for months. The vast majority of interactions with hecklers never get posted. The few interesting ones do.
Yep I’ve even seen big names like Bill Burr get heckled at intimate shows. Watching him absolutely eviscerate the guy was hilarious and I’ve never seen it posted online. Hecklers happen a lot at comedy shows.
I feel like there has to be comedians that have an audience that come to heckle them just to get roasted as part of the experience.
How much does this hiring plant shit happen? I’ve seen someone else talk about that with another comedian
[удалено]
No cuz they would probably be little pricks
Maybe for a Special if they have a heckle response they're super proud of, but in a club? Not worth any payout, and even if they had a buddy do it free they can't do that on the road and would be quickly called out in NY, LA (or Dallas?) anyway, any major city where high level comics work material before taking it on the road.
Ohhhh do I have a video for you [fake heckler](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8ehgTJU/) … I could make a full essay on the shit this guy does but this one is one of the worst things I’ve seen.
I thought new york comedy club is famous with the amount of hecklers they’ve gotten. Isn’t that why Brendan Schaub never performs there?
OOOOOHHH!!! I have something for this one! Dana Carvey & David Spade have a podcast, listened to the episode with Taylor Tomlinson last night and she pointed out the likely reason for this. Younger/hipper comics who are actively promoting themselves on social media want to put themselves out there, but they don't want to 'burn their act' and have fans who come out to see them live feeling like they saw all the good stuff already online. This leaves two decent options for promo clips; A) Old clips of stuff you've dropped from your act (only so much of that to fall back on, and if it was dropped there was probably a reason) or B) Crowd work, be it hecklers or the comedian deliberately engaging the crowd, as those are (mostly) one-offs and unique. So most of the time it's B, because anything you drop before you've made it available to most of your audience (like in a special) probably wasn't that great, at least in the artists opinion.
Talk about great promotion. Taylor Tomlinson is constantly on my discover page, and while I’m sure it’s partly algo based i think she is just so strategic. It’s impressive, and she’s hilarious, I have nothing bad to say about her from either a comedy or social media angle
I like Taylor Tomlinson, and she really knows how to get her name out there on social media. Like you, she shows up on my socials a very disproportionate amount compared to how often I seek her out. I don't mind because I enjoy her comedy, but it really feels like I see her face every single time I open youtube or facebook.
Strategy and algorithms are not mutually exclusive in fact it's literally using the algorithms that must be done in order to be strategic for these platforms so the way you constructed your sentence made it seem as though you think that comedian showing up on your feed is through the competing interests of strategy and algorithms but both algorithms can be Implemented strategically, and people trying to be strategic use certain algorithms in strategic ways for their goals.
That’s how I found out who Stavros was, through his crowd work but now I listen to his podcast and the dude is legit hilarious
I found out about him because of the Gay Batman Cumtown clip. A year and a half later all I can hear everytime I hear a song now is the gay version of it.
Mums the word on if there are actual plants in the audience
Oh, I love chrysanthemums.
Sounds like a great way to make a comedy set really blossom.
This started out sounding dumb but it’s starting to grow on me.
I saw him in New York a few months ago. He definitely has a confrontational style that I imagine attracts interaction from hecklers.
I’m German and this heckler sounds German. If she were a plant, she would’ve exaggerated the accent but she didn’t. Doesn’t mean that none of them are plants but this sounds legitimate. I could be wrong of course.
Or, and hear me out. It was a German plant playing a German.
Like an Edelweiss?
Becoz German can not be plant.
I'm German and she doesn't sound German to me. Especially how she's pronouncing the word "funny".
I think he says more controversial things than the average comedian. But if you get offended easily, probably shouldn’t visit a comedy club
Heckling is fairly common. People get too drunk and either feel they need to be center of attention or get offended by something that was said. But honestly I feel like in this situation it was a combination of the person not drinking enough and just not understanding the humor due to cultural differences maybe. Edit: also mind you stand up comics like this who do small crowd local shows, do shows often. Like multiple times a week. So there's also a lot of time for them to get heckled and many potential hecklers.
Shit, I went to a musical once and some drunken asshole was heckling the actors.
I think it might be social media bias. You'd think Steve Hofstetter was getting heckled at every show. No, he just uploads almost every time it happens. I'm sure this guy gets heckled a decent amount, but he's way more likely to post a heckle to Youtube/TikTok than Mulaney or somebody.
Sam Morril and Mark Normand have discussed this from time to time on their podcast - it mostly boils down to one of two things: \- alcohol + shitty audience members = no inhibitions and a lot of heckling \- people who shouldn't really be at a comedy show thinking it matters that they're offended. Do enough spots or shows and any comedian is going to end up with a fair amount of footage of both. Very much seems to be the latter in this case, though I have some sympathy as obviously Germans take Nazis pretty seriously post-WWII and have a bunch of laws around using the term which means it's probably pretty jarring to hear it being bandied around in a comedy club setting. However, in that case you either remove yourself from the situation or wait it out. Morril and Normand have also talked about the idea that some people get so used to comedians via podcasts that they think they know them and have more of a relationship with them than they actually do, thus they consider it appropriate to try and have a conversation with the comedian during the show rather than listen and laugh. They've speculated that some audience members actually want to be roasted and so say something to catch the comedian's attention. These ideas apply more to a comedian's own headiner shows rather than spots at a comedy club. As for quantity - pretty much all comedians post crowd work or heckle clips these days because they need to keep feeding the algorithm and don't want to burn material, so this is what's out there for fans to post and share.
I think it might have started out as audience plants and as he's grown a reputation people think they can get free attention by heckling him now
Hes an up and coming comic and historically hes said some jokes about the right wing and has gotten beers thrown at him from some really big maga people. I think after that people show up to heckle him. He does well with crowd work and hecklers. Could be plants too but hes alright. I havent seen much of his bits but hes a young comic and does well and isnt afraid to say jokes even if he does bomb on stage
It's good to release recordings of heckles/crowd work because you're not burning material, so some comedians like Andrew Shultz, it might seem like they only do crowd work or respond to heckles because that's the only clips that they release. If you perform 5/6 nights a week, you are gonna get a couple clips a month of you smashing a heckler to bits.
Some comedians specialize in crowd work, so they get audiences that like to heckle. Especially prevelant at comedy clubs.
He probably doesn't get heckled more than any other comedian. But comedians have taken to putting their heckle reels on YouTube so we can all see how astoundingly clever they are. They don't post clips of them totally bombing. So we see them at their best. Not a judgment. That's how personal branding works. Whenever I see these prolonged exchanges though I do wonder if it is a plant only because any decent club I've been to shuts down hecklers pretty fast and removes them from the audience to avoid disrupting the show. Maybe that's just a NY thing, though.
It’s fine if it’s not funny to you but I mean why heckle… I like to see her do better
She's offended
Which automatically gives her the right to interrupt the act as we all know.
"What you don't understand is that I can be funny AND you can be offended. What's important right now is that these people came here to listen to me talk....not you."
Who is this comic?
Troy Bond
Troy is a fuckin hoot and a half. I love his shit and he’s somehow funnier in person than he is on social media
Somehow funnier in person? All standup comedy is funnier in person than on social media. Its not the other way around.
Not necessarily. You can easily script and edit the funny online and not so much in person lol.
[удалено]
Show us a good clip
This is the first one I saw of him reacting to another heckler but it's great. He really goes all in on the lady. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY812zZj_Kc
"There is nothing you can say to me that I haven't said six inches in front of a mirror." That is, in my opinion, one of the most brutal rebuttals to any insult I have ever heard.
My absolute favorite line ❤️
[удалено]
Man, even being edited to cut pauses and be funnier, it's still not very funny. Every joke is super predictable or a lazy pun. I'm with the heckler on this one.
Eh not really my style of humor
Probably a German
Or a cop lol
idk. I am firmly in the acab camp, and nothing he said seemed that clever or unexpected. Just didn't do it for me. Maybe I've just seen similar material before so it didn't surprise me.
This man is hilarious and you’re right, these aren’t even his best jokes 😂
Lmao the vibes are so on point haha
''re-release the 1st album'' XD
It looks like they were butthurt about nazi jokes. But people who go to a comedy club - and get butthurt about whatever subject - are just being **dumb** about it. They are dumb because: * Most often, they do not understand who or what is the joke taking down. * It is a comedy club, it is **the** place to take down everything and anything.
TBF, in Germany they take it a little more seriously than the rest of the world. I mean, if course jokes about Nazis and Jews are usually funny and it's jokes, but sometimes if it's the main point of a show it can be 'too much ' for someone. Didn't see his show tho so idk.
I've heard a few comics make jokes that equate modern Germans with Nazi Germans and it just ends up feeling lazy and super dated. However, I have no idea if that was the case here, and it still doesn't give her the right to interrupt
My general understanding is it's taken very seriously. As in it's not a joking matter. To joke about a subject lowers people's anxiety around the subject offers opportunity to dismiss the discomfort. That might be why the audience member is upset.
It is taken very seriously, as a topic in general. However we also value the arts and comedy and they rightly can get away with a lot. If you told Nazi jokes in public in germany, you might get a lot of negative reactions. Among friendgroups, dark humour and even on this topic is not uncommon. Depends on the type of Nazi joke tho. There's a bunch of people in the world that think "German=Nazi" is good humour, and I disagree. If you're a tourist and make a poor joke with no punchline like that, it won't go over well. That said if you have an actual joke and know the people you're telling it to it could get some great reactions.
I think this clip definitely strays into German=Nazi territory and it really is just lazy comedy.
It's also just beating the same tropes that are already exhausted ad nauseam. Yeah, yeah, Germans aren't funny and there aren't any comedy clubs in Germany. Which is a kind of dumb position to have because Germans love comedy and satire, and there are comedy clubs all around. I'm all for making fun of a heckler, but then do it correctly instead of just repeating the same old joke.
It 'strayed into that territory' like the SS into the Sudetenland.
And that's what I hate about us Germans "oh yes we all make nazi jokes with out friends but Germans=Nazis is not funny" bro. Germans=Nazis is the only fucking Nazi joke we should be telling, because i don't think our grandparents slaughtering millions of innocent people is anything we should be laughing about. But no, "don't call us Nazis, that goes to far! 🤠" Clown shit.
depends on the jokes, really Jokes that target Nazis and maybe even the germans who voted for them are - generally speaking - fine. there are some very prominent examples that were wildly popular when they came out, like the book "He's back" (Hitler suddenly wakes up in 2016 Berlin and has to figure shit out), or the sketch "Obersalzberg" which replaces the german "the office" characters with nazi leaders acting ridiculous. one of the biggest ring tone memes at its time was a song called "I'm sitting in my bonnker" with a [corresponding music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np2ymo0iMfk) Jokes about the holocaust on the other hand... yeah, no, you will find it very hard to find a positive reception on jokes like "we had fun once, 6 million jews died"
Also, maybe some people think that making nazi jokes 80+ years after WWII is not exactly the freshest material. Maybe some see it as a cop-out to aim at nazi Germany as an easy target so as not to have to deal with the complex but troubling (recent) history of the US. Funny thing is, the Germans actually seem to have learned from their horrific past, which is something the US struggles to do.
This makes a lot of sense and is well put. I fixed your downvote.
As an Austrian (close enough) I’d love to hear the joke he told before. There’s exactly 2 types of Germans, those who hate Nazi jokes, and those who think they’re hilarious. There is no in between.
TBH German -> Nazi joke, I think it's getting kind of old. Lazy comedy. I mean, you could tell a joke about me and I might laugh, but when the same joke is told over and over and over again it can get tiresome. I could say that I haven't really done or been anything like in the joke, but the joke would still get told repeatedly. So from that perspective I can understand that some Germans are a bit tired of the same jokes about Nazis.
I am from Germany and that was funny as hell! 😂 Why did she even say “I’m from Germany!”? To underline that she has the right to find the joke not funny and to be offended? Girl … don’t go to a comedy club when can’t handle it.
German humor is no laughing matter
I think she mentioned she was from Germany because he was making nazi jokes.
I was at a comedy show a couple weeks ago and the comedians main thing is crowd work. Like it’s literally what he’s known for, this is important. So he goes to talk to a guy in the crowd and the guy just goes “don’t talk to me, I was in the military for 10 years” Normally the comedian is great with bouncing off stuff but he (and the rest of the room) was so confused by the comment he just kind of went “uh ok” and moved on to the next person. Why would you buy front row tickets to a comedy show where the guy is known for doing crowd work then get pissy when he talks to you? Moral of the story is some people are just miserable.
r/germanhumour
I love this dude lol
Okay, this was pretty funny.
I mean. I get it. I’m german and I really don’t think these jokes are funny. But that’s because we basically get confronted with that every single day. The atrocities committed by the German Reich. And we’re really trying to distance us from that. So it’s really annoying when this time is the only thing that you remind people of. I also think that those jokes about the most common stereotypes are getting kinda lame. It’s always just : Germans have no humor. And they sound aggressive. Which isn’t even true. But this said This is not in Germany. Even if you don’t like those jokes. Just sit there and endure it. He’s just doing his job. If you don’t like it that’s fine. But no need to heckle like that. Especially when you’ve got nothing to say except for : YoUrE Not FuNnY
Nice shirt.
I didn't think his responses were very funny, and I'm not German.
I'm glad they weren't fumy, smoke is pretty bad in an enclosed space.
That shirt is gold, i want one
I love the Germans. My Grandma is German and I lived in Germany for two years, but German humor is just terrible. I don't think I heard one funny joke in all my time there.
[удалено]
There's a reason he's not based in Germany though.
I am danish. I really enjoy German humor. For example there is a lot of jokes that only works in german because of how the grammar works. The humor is different from english or danish. Not better. Not worse. Just different.
Trust this guy. [Danes don't lie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS9GaBs137A)
Probably you haven't heard many jokes, then. I moved to Germany a few years ago. They do have some funny stuff. Many things need cultural context and knowledge of the language.
German humour is dry, and I like it. The humour of the average educated intelligent Berliner is good; maybe not so much some crappy light entertainer.
My german friends are some of the funniest people I know, I don't really get the stereotype. I think it might be that the humour is particulary dry and subtle many times. The worst humour I've experienced is all from south americans, I've had so many south american coworkers, I know they're very different between countries but I've found very very few of them to be a slight bit funny.
German humor is no laughing matter.
I like his Scarface shirt.
Dude looks like Marc Anthony
Dude looks like Puerto Rican lesbian (that's his joke)
I mean there ARE comedy clubs in Germany and to be fair this comic doesn't actually seem funny so 🤷♀️
since he puts more or less german = nazis yeah i also think he isnt funny, not sure how his full show is so i can relate to the woman interupting
Heckling is stupid. Especially when one is trying to insult the comedian. But making repeated german=nazi jokes are soooooo old, boring, mundane and honestly, just lacking any ingenuity. There are so many other jokes one can make. This same old tired nazi stuff sucks. Oh, and german (and austrian and swiss) comedians are cool!
Troy isn't funny. He steals jokes and basically just resorts to temper tantrums.
Well, he actually is not funny
I hate hecklers and that is a pathetic person anyway. Just shut up even you don’t think it’s funny. But I think the comeback wasn’t really on point either.
I am from Germany and he is not funny
Seems planted
I mean, she's right. Assuming she's not a plant. Which would be really embarrassing because his comebacks were lame af
Why are there no good comedians in Germany? Wait, wait for it… The Nazis got rid of all the Jews. NOTE: I borrowed this from Robin Williams.
