Welcome to the Sift.

I'm glad you spoke up.

Being the comic this happened to I think there should be some extra info for this video

First this was an xrated No Refunds show. The crowd was warned before they came in that this is a show that is going to go too far. At that point I had already done jokes that took on cancer, aids and special needs. The crowd was loving the show and after the assault I did another 13 mintues and then ended the show

Even if this was not an xrated show no one has the right to be that much of a cowardly cunt to do what he did. I have been jumped before but at least that is man to man...not just a missile coming from the dark

I also do not need to take any pointers from any comic about dealing with hecklers. I have been doing this for many years. I like jimmy carrs stuff but I am fine dealing with them myself.

cheers

So that was you, eh? 1) You're hilarious and 2) Nice restraint. I would have punched the guy.
Stick around, man. I think you'll like it here.

reminds me of that great movie by Darren Aronofsky PI

A perfect example of the retrograde nature of education, knowledge, and meaning, in the United States university system.....the prof is probably fresh out of another diploma mill, teaching the next generation, of useful, expendable morons. Ah yes....see, right here, " a media studies professor" at a relatively insignificant, liberal arts college in Claremont....

then they quote the student whose use of his native tongue, is already slipping into truncated garble..."YouTube is "a phenomenon that should be studied," student Darren Grose said. "You can learn a lot about American culture and just Internet culture in general."

and "just" (filler word or phrase, similar to "uhh", "you know", and "like"
....another casualty of war, taking out a loan to get stooopider.....

Societal breakdown, at accelerated rates....Come on In, there's room for more!!!

I didn't get the J.T. Snow reference, either - until I read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.T._Snow#Two_memorable_moments_with_the_Giants

In the 2002 World Series as Snow was scoring in Game 5 off a Kenny Lofton triple, he swooped up by the back of the jacket and carried off the batboy, 3-year-old Darren Baker. The young batboy and son of then Giants’ manager Dusty Baker was at home plate to collect Lofton's bat before the play was completed. This turned into a touching and memorable incident but easily could have resulted in disaster with a small child wandering into the path of Snow and David Bell as they both barreled home to score. Following the incident with Darren Baker, Major League Baseball required batboys and girls to be at least nine years of age.

Maggz even if you're not the singer and you are linking to something you have on your YouTube account, it can be confused as a self link.

I'll try and *return it then if no one minds. Happy 4th. The video you've posted though does link back to Darren Hayes account. Looked like self promotion to me.

No it does not! My username is Maggz, the how on earth am I the singer Darren Hayes? My username on youtube is also Maggz.

The film Pi Sift is ripped from a DVD - along with a hell of a lot more on here (such as more movies, documentaries or concerts).

At the same time I have to wonder how many people won't get to buy the DVD because of this.

I mean I really like Darren Aronofsky, I want him to keep making movies.

Quite fake.

Power of suggestion and illusion.

Search for anything by Darren Brown (demonstrates both), or skeptic Jack Randi.

southblvd -- you are making it sound like there is a hypnotist show that *isn't* an act, lol

Hypnosis belongs in the same category as paranormal activity and aliens, in that there's little evidence to support the practitioners' claims, yet many people believe in it nonetheless. Conventional explanation is that hypnosis "works" because some people are willing to play along. This is why using acting students is good -- they are good at pretending.

If you remember other clips of Darren Brown that made it to Video Sift, you'll see that he tends to "explain" his tricks through his knowledge of psychology. But that's standard magician practice -- to mislead the people into thinking their tricks are done through some hard to grasp/reproduce technique. For instance David Copperfield does it -- a friend of mine was called into David Copperfield number where she disappeared from the stage, and David Copperfield asked her to tell friends he did this trick with mirrors (or each friend will tell 2 friends, and years of work will be wasted, blabla)

I'm not the only one that thinks that Derren Brown's tricks have nothing to do with psychology
