@@NoahJackson28 lol steve has been doing stand for almost as long as shultz as been alive and dont get me wrong Andrew is one of my favorites but steve is the og in this situation 😉
True
"Too much murder. Ample parking." That made me laugh out loud. Mission accomplished. I like this video.
but what about the breakfast?
@@SprintToggle it was great
Well James said the funniest thing today...
Me too! Literally guffawed.
The dead guy's ghost is saying: "I'd have given the hotel 1 star."
C'mon. 2 stars. It did have a great continental breakfast and ample parking, after all.
@@finnmccool3540 Which he gets to see for all eternity, now.
But why? You were only murdered one time!
But what if someone put a dick in him? Yep, leave room for some stars.
OK, that earned a genuine LOL !!!
_’Never argue with Stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience…!’_ *- Mark Twain*
Wait...did Mark Twain really say that? That’s ingenious.
@@AK-jt7kh yes it is a quote attributed to him 👍
Whether twain said it or not, that is good advise!
Love this quote. So very true it is. 😂
I mean good for him honestly but you can punch stupid tell it stops talking 😂
"it's 2 in the morning, vermont's closed"
as a Burlington resident i laughed for a solid 3 minutes
@Sofia Johnson blue laws
@@briantrowbridge8134 red laws dumbass
You live in a coat store?
Im a Barre boy, and I died at that part
@Sofia Johnson Yea, we're all closed up by 11pm monday-friday
“Just flip him over” i died!!! I laugh every time i think about it!!!
"flip him over"!!!!!!! I died. Alone here in the woods laughing my ass off!!!!
Hey Steve, I don't know how many times I've watched your specials. I just want to say thank you man. It's been super rough for everyone the last few years. You're my favorite comedian and thank you for helping laugh through early sobriety. Thanks in part to your comedy, I'm now 8 months off meth and 2 months off everything else. You're the best man.
I hope the woman who missed her flight sees this.
She has people for that.
@@Clasteau BOOM
What about the Reddit post that is that story which one came first?
Blue Skull Games who cares
Blue Skull Games yeah the whole joke I was like I know this already. 🤷🏼♂️🤨 still a good show though
Love you Steve you need a Netflix special like...now
hopefully two or more
and a talk show
If Netflicks gave him a special it would be difficult to lower the bar of expectations back down to accommodate their current comedians.
yeah i haven’t laughed this hard since i discovered bo burnham
"maybe they should count 3/5ths......" that is brilliant.
Could you explain the joke ? Thanks !
@@_TDS_ It's referencing this - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Fifths_Compromise
@@BaneWilliams Thanks for the link!
It was obvious. Good. But not brilliant.
@@winstonsmith11 PhD of comedy here folks!
I liked this free piece of art and I'm only here to say it.
“Flip him over, it’s simple” I died 😂
The whole flight attendant bit had me laughing out loud but the paper cut decapitation section had me in tears!
Cons: Somebody was murdered.
Pros: It wasn't me.
Cons: somebody was murdered
It wasn't me
Cons: Someone was Murdered
It was me
Cons: I murdered somebody
the ''but my point is [completely unrelated to the previous 5 minutes of jokes]'' callbacks are a work of gold. Incredible tangent work
"I have this condition where I don't like people..."
Yeah, same here👌
Also, this was absolutely *hilarious*
I mean who does?
@Random Stuffs im sure he likes a small percentage. I hate ppl in general but not all lol
@@WobbysPersonalHell To be a comedian you have to be funny…this was torture. I lasted 5 minutes
"Dink." I fricken lost it
I live in Vermont. I can verify, we are closed at 2am. But the cows and farmers are up by 3.
Yall are closed by 10pm the latest the only ones up at 2am are the crackheads in brat
@@spencerdunn2712 I have to agree 😂 closed at 2am? That’s a California thing. They don’t even do that on Long Island in New York. Closed at 2am means you’re in a decently populated city.
"Flip him over"
I'm dead. Hahahahaha
I think the reason I like this so much is you always reference or go back to a previous joke. The transitions are wonderful.
Skypost4ever “so my point is”
Three Fifths - That was an impressively subtle and smart terminal punctuation. What's more impressive to me is your audience's reaction.
I was also impressed by the audience reaction here. I will always remember learning about the TFC, and I've made similar jokes amongst my friends, but it's not one of those history lessons that a lot of people seem to retain. Perhaps Steve's comedy is so potent that it rejuvenates old memories.
Could somebody explain this joke, I didn't get it! :/
On the off chance you are serious, I will leave this here for reference from the wiki. (This was a quite clever joke IMO)
"The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count 3 out of every 5 slaves as a person for this purpose. Its effect was to give the southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored, but fewer than if slaves and free persons had been counted equally, thus allowing the slaveholder interests to largely dominate the government of the United States until 1861.[1] The compromise was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman."
LordMajicus I'm french, so I didn't understand that joke, and it was bothering me. Now I can resume watching the show, and stop looking for information. So, thank you Captain!
You are a hero for posting this, I'm from Europe so I didn't get it either.
This man is on my laminated list of people with whom I'd choose to have a drink, or a lunch. I'd remain silent and listen to his people watching monologue. 🤓🧡
Staff meeting:
"Ok, we had a bad review. Too much murder.. how can we solve this?"
"A coupon?"
This man is slowly becoming one of my favorite stand-up comedians. ♥️
The entire conversation with that officer that pulled you over after the murder is pure genius. To be able to be funny under stress is a skill I think far more people need to have.
Do you clap when the plane lands too?
@@user-hk7hz9cn7v I fail to see the relation between appreciating humor in stressful situations and applauding an expected result. Please do explain your logic on posting this reply, I'm sure it's some top tier stuff.
I read this comment out of context before watching the special and I was like, "Wait, WHAT!?" I immediately started watching. 🤣
I love that people have a stronger reaction to a lady listening to music without headphones than her leaving dog shit on the airport floor. (Me too).
This is one of the only comedy specials I've watched like 8-9 times and even though I can basically tell when each joke is coming and what he's going to say, I never get tired of it. It's a goddamn timeless classic, Steve's hilarious.
God have mercy on your wretched soul
I've heard his jokes so many times, I say it along with him. Fuck he's hilarious
"Everybody who is going to get it got it" nice ; )
had to make my wife watch. you now have another fan!
I honestly first saw your heckling videos before your actual material and man you're really good..
The heckling is just like a bonus..👍
same
same but I live in Indiana and im upset I didn't get to see it
@@asaflowers5631 I live in georgia, so I probably NEVER will be able to see him!!
I lost it at”some kind of Russian nesting doll of irresponsibility” and now everyone on the street thinks I’m insane. Thanks Steve.
"Is it 'Plead the 5th'?? No, that's the 5th Amendment!!"
Dying. On the floor, dying.
With ample parking and a great continental breakfast!
By the time you got back around to the "how you became an optimist" part at the end, I had completely forgotten that the entire night was leading there. When I remembered it, I shot coffee out of my nose. By the way, you owe me a new keyboard. Well done! This was hilarious! Thank you very much for uploading.
Same here. Was one of my favorite talents of Dane Cook
That is how u comedy
Unreal , I remember seeing a part of “the lady at the airport” bit in a heckler video a while back and really wanted to see the whole joke, and now I have,thank you.🤙
I love that entire part
"Stay a while and listen"
"Keep on walking"
"Cross the street"
Add this to social media instead of all the emoticons I'll be happy
So I'm sitting in my parked vehicle watching this and LMFAO and a guy I've never seen before knocks on the window to ask me what I do because he's never seen someone so happy. True story. Steve, this is Brilliant! Truly brilliant!
And then everyone clapped and you've both been married for 89 years with 30 kids
I didn’t like this free piece of art I wasn’t obligated to watch

@Scott Murphy I get some good laughs out of it, supposing you are one of the blokes of the internet who think they have some sort of extremely advanced sense of humor, huh.

@@twraoylnledyou8511 I hope Karma goes your way good sir
"The muderee was right where they left him"😂😂
this is still my favorite Steve Hofstetter special. it's got so many iconic bits! the lady at the airport, the Russian nesting doll of irresponsibility, Officer Alvarez, "I like peanut butter, do you swim?" The list goes on! but i think the main reason this one is my favorite is because the voices and the gestures just make certain jokes so much funnier! he does voices and gestures in other shows, but for some reason i just think the combination is absolute perfection in _this_ show 😂
... this man single-handedly convinced me to never ever leave negative comments.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I love your work.
The Dro g
Another brilliant special. Thanks, Steve!
you should make an otamatone cover of it!
Otamatones can obscure the exit of the airplane,
TheRealSullyG what’s the otamatone guy doing on Steve Hofstetter’s TH-cam channel?
Yea give Steve hofstetter a Netflix special at last he deserves this
It would be the perfect network for Steve. They are one of the most liberal leaning corps out there. And after doing the research to make this statement, I want to go and watch Netflix now more than ever. Thank you.
I absolutely lost it at the “pumps the brakes” bit!
"Don't skip bone day" needs to be on a t-shirt
My future t-shirt: "I cheated bone day".
I never skip bone day, just ask my wife
that’s kinky
Great stand-up and I feel bad I just watch this on youtube for free. This should be viewed on Netflix. I've been watching all your hecklers take down for the past year and loved every minute of it. Keep up it up. Love your work!
Love your material, Steve. Thank you so much for putting these up on youtube for us, lots of us can't get to a show anymore. So when the next SS deposit comes in, I'll send you a few bucks, and then come back and watch some more. So many comedians uploaded shows during the pandemic, it made it a bit easier for the world. Keep up the good work. I'm a nurse, and what you do, is just as important to keeping people happy and alive, as what I do.
I was watching this again (thank you) for some feel good moments. My staffie just passed away Sunday. I forgot you had one too. Sending love to Walter.
The beginning was so badass.
*walks out of camera*
“I’m gonna tell a story”
If I ever find myself in that area of cali and Officer Alvarez pulls us over, we are detaining him too hahahahahha
"maybe you'll boycott Portland, Oregon" is a chilling line in 2020
I was thinking, 'well, that didn't age well.' 🤣
is it still chilling?
@@wig6534 Less chilling than it was in June/July, surely, but like... I definitely had to double-check the upload date for this video.
One of the greatest specials. I listen to this a lot while traveling to film weddings. Makes the time go so fast. Thank you!
This was great. First Steve video I've watched that wasn't heckler related. Won't be the last!
Same
Same here! Lol
The story about the airport lady made you my hero, priceless.
I’m a Brit and have just found this funny man. Great to watch, hilarious. Love from the UK😂🤣😂
Came here from TikTok to watch how the special woman story would end. Going to watch the whole set now, this is hilarious. Thank you!
"I am NOT the hero you deserve. I am the hero you need!", Priceless.
Dude funny story, my name is Scott and my brother's name is Brian, and we are twins, so sometimes I am Brian to people and He is Scott
I hope Scott has better stuff than Brian.
Steve Hofstetter Scott does have better stuff than Brian, Scott also does a better job saving money.
@@stevehofstetter I guarantee Scott does not have better stuff than Brian
Yeah sorry Scott that's gunna be 2 against 1
Steve, I am so happy that I found you last night! You are my new favorite comedian. I have spent the last 13 hours binge watching your acts, Great job! I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Thank you
When you talked about Walter 🥺🥺🥺But saw that you have a new puppy 😍 My puppy is the only one that manages to keep me sane during this quarantine, lots of love from Italy 🇮🇹 💕
I love that your jokes are well supported with intelligence and facts rather than just "Watch me make a funny". It's refreshing to see a comedian that isn't just taking cheap shots or half stolen material that has been around for years. Well done, Sir!
This is worth twice what I paid to watch it. Great set, Steve!
You were in the live audience? Or you are insulting him because it is free on TH-cam?
Andrew Rivers tours with him.
@@NeonyRicey "Hot sauce isn't good for lube..."
True. And if you ever do a suckerFvck...don't use a cinnamon lollipop!!!
Great stuff Steve, the Leviticus bit had me howling... “just roll him over” ...
Mr. Hofstetter , I have just discovered you on You Tube, and I felt the need ( & have no idea why ) to convey that, you Sir, ( in my opinion ) are a genius in creating the Heckler tapes. I can not remember ANYONE doing this before and I'm 63 and have been paying somewhat attention to the comedy field. I am VERY glad I found your channel.
You're spoiling us
So generous to share this with us on youtube
“yeah they got different parts, flip him over” earned my like with that one!!
thank you! You have encouraged me to read our bill of rights, and all 27 amendments! This will require more research... as I feel the language needs to be updated a bit, as well as the documents as a whole also need significant update.
I'm super stoked you were willing to let us view this for free on YT. Totally gonna have to get some rad SH merch on pay day!
@@joshwebb6090 It’s a fake account. Not sure if he or his rep bought them but there’s tons of comments from bots and fake accounts on this video
Here's something unusual in this day and age: I don't agree with all of Steve's takes and personal views expressed in this show. I do agree with some. Yet I still LOVED his show, and other bits he has done. I thumbs upped this video, and truly enjoyed watching it. I don't hate him or think he should be censored or banned. Different people have different views, it doesn't mean you have to hate them. We should all be glad be people are different... it staves off boredom and staleness. Awesome job Steve, I always find you entertaining and you make me laugh.
A TRUE INTELLECTUAL
This deserves more likes
I don’t think it’s unusual. I agree with most of his stances but some of them are so/so. Even so - I watch plenty of comedians with stances I disagree with and to be honest I think that’s good for you. It’s great to get to know other opinions from a comedic standpoint. Helps you to be less of a stick in the mud.
I know my best friend is like this too. I think that a lot of reasonable people are! The difference is - we don’t usually talk about it. It’s the people with extreme opinions who shout, throw tantrums, and act offended by someone else’s attempts to provide entertainment to a diverse audience.
Those people get noticed and they tend to start defining the way we think the average person behaves.
I have argued enjoyably with plenty of liberals and conservatives on TH-cam...there have been maybe 5 people over the course of two years that I thought were totally unreasonable.
The world is not made of unreasonable people. The world is made of diverse people with diverse opinions and perfectly good reasons for having them.
The only reason we imagine people are unreasonable is because those kinds of people are what sells, and they are the ones screaming and scrambling for attention and validation from the rest of us.
Agreed! Even though I think he’s missing the other sides point in his 2A jokes, doesn’t make his other jokes less funny!
I love this and here’s something I always say “I will always respect your opinion unless you disrespect mine.” I will always try to educate before I argue because people deserve respect and to be educated.
idk why but the thing that made me laugh the most out of the whole show was "the two things I would bring to a plane crash would be a pillow and a second plane" lol
I absolutely love this! It's like a meandering walk through a very strange park, and before you know it, you're right back where you started from, seeing it from a whole new perspective.
What i got out of this is that steve murdered a man at his hotel and then fled the scene
His cover was quite good too; who would ever assume the murderer would openly joke about possibly being the murderer?
LordMajicus so perfect
@@LordMajicus It's foolproof
And then got away with it... Hence why he is an optimist.
the murder did happen in the room either right above or below his room, he knew this fact, he says he knew this only because a reporter told him this in the parking lot while they were waiting for the police to check it out and then tell them you can go back inside now, no doubt about it Steve Hofstetter is the murderer, just kidding of course or am I
I like peanut butter do you swim?
Steve, I've seen a bunch of your clips over the years, and I love them...but getting to see a whole show is pure gold, you had me cracking up. Great show my friend!!
Steve’s face literally captures every human emotion possible.
Thank you so much for helping out the broke fans Hofdaddy❤
Thanks for this free full special. I appreciate it. Usually no comedian does that and it is rare.
Do you know Andrew Schulz?
Jimmy Carr has plenty of full sets on TH-cam. Poke around, there is a ton of amazing content on here.
Intelligent, funny, relatable, and the most beautiful thing... the messages throughout serving as a catalyst for personal and collective change, wrapped in laughs. Stumbling on your work watching hecklers get owned it was so nice to enjoy the full production of your art without interruption. Thank you ❤
'I like peanut butter, do you swim?' - my new favorite line 🤣🤣
I've already seen most of this material and I still watched this entire thing because ITS THAT GOOD. Thank you Mr. Hofstetter!
I vote for a „Cross the Street“ button on Facebook 😂 I loved this, thank you!!!
@SteveHofstetter, have you started that yet???? I'm new to all your amazing stuff!!
"Nobody is coming to take your guns. "
Virginia :"Hold my beer."
Except they aren't
Current Virginia gun laws, per the NRA …
Do not require a permit to purchase rifles, shotguns or handguns.
Do not require firearm registration.
Do not require licensing.
Do not require a permit to carry a rifle or shotgun.
The Giffords center points out that the laws also …
Do not “regulate the transfer or possession of .50-caliber rifles or large capacity ammunition magazines.”
Do not require a background check before transferring a firearm between unlicensed people.
Do not impose a waiting period before the sale of a firearm.
Do not require owners to report lost or stolen guns.
And people are upset that someone wants to regulate this.
flabbergast This sounds absolutely nuts for a guy like me coming from Denmark, but then again, I was born in 1980, got my drivers license in 1998, and it expires in 2050.
LAUGHED MY ASS OFF. Thank you!
*lady from airport* "oh they're so temperamental when they're this age" *Steve Hofstetter* "yeah I'm still tempermental, and I'm gonna kill that baby"
BEST LINE IN THE BIT AND I HAVN'T FINISHED WATCHING YET XD!!!
you are a comic genius and i hope success keeps coming your way. You will definitely become a legend 👏👏👏
When I heard you start talking about the dog at the airport, I knew I read that somewhere. I honestly got kinda upset that youd just repeat someones story, so I went over to /prorevenge and what do you know, it was you who posted it! I just discovered your youtube today and I've been watching a lot of the videos. You're probably one of my favorite comics in a while
I felt the same way but I remember hearing someone else tell it. I don't remember who but it was almost word for word at some points. At first I thought what the fuck dude? You just ripped someone else's joke but then I realized that he had more to the joke than the other person had like when you retell a story of an event you heard about. It has less detail and loses some of the character. So one of two things happened, either someone I can't remember ripped his joke and didn't do it as well or he ripped someone's joke but did it better than they did and I can't say I'd mind if it was the latter.
I remember reading this on reddit. I thought it was great. Now, I think it's even greater.
@@jeaniegirlover5335 Hi Jeanie - you're misremembering. This story has been covered by several media outlets and ripped by a ton of clickbait sites. But the original was written by me, on reddit.

"his computer could be anywhere", best line ever 😂
I absolutely love this guy, one of the few comedians that make a set that seems to be so true and relatable, besides been that acidic comedic that I like. Perfect.
Thank you legitmate rage for making this special free!!
Sewer person.
This was the most masterful performance I ever watched from any comedian of any era. I randomly found your videos about a week ago and have spent several work days listening to your videos while doing my job.
Thanks for making me look like a psychopath laughing in my cubicle in the dead silence of the area I work in lmao.
You’re a legend man!!
I did the Sam's shit. Randomly come on cause I was listening to comedians on podcast n I fell asleep and this came on.
I saw his heckling videos.....but this special is just good.
Original content, articulation, cleverness, hes real smart....his lines are great. Lol
Jonah Rogers Mitch Hedberg (R.I.P.) is another master of comedy. Check him out.
Found him a few days ago
Fun fact: the Leviticus thing was originally a statement against pedophelia, as at the time Greek and Roman men often kept young boys as sex slaves, hence the specific wording of "man with boy," not "man with man." Loved the special, have a great day!!!
9:17 That was a great impression of Squidward.
Next up: Netflix special!
Yes he needs one!!!!
Music in a public space without headphones...when you said that, I knew I love you.
I've watched/listened to this special dozens of times and never caught that your dog's name was Walter Matthau! This brought a huge smile to my face and made me wonder, is Milton's last name Berle? I know Steve probably doesn't check new comments on a 3 year old video, but on the off chance you're reading this: thanks for all the smiles & laughs over the years.
"I'm not eating here" that fucking got me
I’m about 7 minutes into the video. So I finally got the answer when I asked a couple months ago, if you were the murderer at the hotel. Apparently, running fast away from the hotel wasn’t suspicious enough for the police. You lucky man steve. So far brilliant video :)
"I detained a police officer, that's what I did!" - hilarious! :)
I laughed so hard at the bit about taking the wrong luggage at the airport that I had a hard time driving
