hah! she got owned!

Nothing funny about calling women skanks. Bitchy at least has a meaning that was somewhat applicable. Skank is just cheap and unfunny.

Who got owned? Seemed a very convenient and cheap set of gags designed to deal with a heckler who barely heckled.

Well regardless of the gag, comedy's a pretty tough nut to crack.

Cheap or not, the audience loved it.

Why does anyone bother heckling a stand up comedian anymore? There's so much proof that it doesn't go well for the heckler.

To me the text comments at the very start indicated that it was likely going on for a while.

The pulse of this, which is something that every good comedian knows implicitly, was the rest of the audience. If they appreciated her getting served so hard and for so long by the comedian, it's likely that it wasn't just some pre-rehearsed skit just waiting for a random undeserving audience member that he could bend into being the target of a bunch of memorized jokes. I think he deserves more credit than that, and I'd suggest there could have been lots of stuff we didn't see that indicates she did too.

Yeah, but those comments were put there by the comedian himself. The video is on his own channel.

This whole trend of comedians putting up videos of themselves dealing with hecklers seems pretty artificial to me. It's basically just a tactic to have your video go viral: prepare a bunch of heckler-baiting material, wait for someone in the audience to say something in a louder than usual voice, and then unload your material on the "heckler", having a friend film the whole thing as if he's a regular audience member. Audiences at most comedy shows are easily manipulated onto the side of the comedian against a heckler, even if the heckler isn't all that bad. People like watching a comedian take someone else apart.

When someone titles his own video "Funny Asian Comedian OWNS Girl Heckler", he's probably a shamelessly self-promoting douchebag, and his text comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Notice how all the "heckles" have been conveniently edited out (except for "I am mean", which was a pretty stupid thing to say, I'll admit).

There is something electric about being in a live audience and seeing someone heckle. Just that feeling that you're in no man's land, and this could go anywhere. I was lucky enough to see Marc Maron tee off on a drunk American woman in Melbourne - it was wild.

Meanwhile, who cares if he uploaded it himself? Man's gotta eat.

Fair enough, Sotto. I didn't realize there was a "trend" about comedians self-posting heckling videos for promotional purposes. And if I think about it, if he were doing it right, he would have posted some of the leading material that shows she's deserving of the heaps of abuse.

All that being said, he did ride it very well and was excellent at bringing the audience along on the trip.
