Yea Jimmy handles heckling consistently well.

>> ^Aniatario:

Jimmy Carr is quite an amazing comedian, he's actually created an environment where his audience is encouraged to heckle. The audience is confident enough to step-in and become part of the performance with no serious blowback.
You really got to hand it to Jimmy, he know his audience. Whats more, every interaction I've seen him hold with a heckler the outcome is always witty and quite jovial.


That is so perfectly put, I completely agree. He's taken the thing that most comedians dread, and so few pull off anything worthy and thrown it right back at the audience. And like you said, because of that, there's never any negative undertones, which is lovely

So what makes you think that Beck and others on the Right are the only shills, but Al "I-invented-the-internet" Gore is sincere in his desire to "save" an earth that doesn't need saving, and not just make billions off of his "carbon credit" scam?

The left still loves Bill Clinton because he (and Gore) supposedly stand up for 'the little guy.' But behind closed doors, when Bill's own little guy stood up, he threatened to fire women that didn't "kiss it". You would think equality-minded leftists would be repulsed by such vulgar displays of power BUT NO.

Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, aka Obama's and Hillary's life instruction manual, teaches how to...heckle and talk sh1t.

Different wings, same turkey.

Tucker IMO, is another one of those douche bags like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck who is smart enough to know that a lot of the right wing drivel is BS. They're just simply paid to pander to the base so pandering to the base is what they will do. Beck is a former DJ after all. He's just being paid to say a lot of shit. He was railing against the health care system too before his masters told him to blast the Democrat Health Care system.
They're just paid hit men. It's people like Palin who are the true believers that you need to worry about. (either that or she's the greatest actresses of all time)
Seriously, if someone paid you a butt load of money to heckle people and talk shit, you wouldn't be too quick to dismiss it.
I'm not saying they don't deserve what they get, however.

Your video, Ryan Stout - Tooth Fairy (plus Heckle), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I love the way people heckle those who they know they'll get hammered by. There's something masochistic about it.

Teller paid his way through college doing magic.

Apparently, doing magic at frat parties with college kids is akin to warding off four-winged demons in the seventh circle of hell. So Teller soon learned that if he remained silent during the magic, he reduced and eventually eliminated the extent of heckling he received during his performance.

Ever since then, he's remained silent -- as a part of his 'schtick.'

(BTW, I met Penn & Teller back in 1988.. long before they became household names.)

I upvoted for the heckle.

The point. You miss it.

The man is a stand-up comedic genius.
And I don't throw that term around loosely.
Off the top of my head --> Bill Hicks, Andy Kaufman, Mitch Hedberg, Stephen Wright, Emo Phillips, and Dave Chappelle.


I don't know if I would throw Hedberg in with those guys. He was bombed out of his mind 99.999% of the time. I was at the State Theatre and watched that dude perform. A cup of vodka in one hand, a cup of orange juice in the other, his parents were in the audience and he kept forgetting his lines Couldn't come back on stage after someone heckled him. Funny guy but not a genius.

For contrast, this is what happened today when someone heckled Palin at a McCain rally:

I don't think it was heckling, more of a little help from the audience.


Nah, help would be nice and Scottish people aren't that friendly, please try to keep up.
