PLEASE watch the Outlander series...and then take it apart! Like, I need someone with this sense of humour here to watch that series...and then completely trash it.

+Steve Hofstetter happy to see this finally! and im sorry for not being here Steve, youtube has this stupid shit where it only shows you a fraction of your actual subscribed channels so for a long time i didnt get to see new videos from a whole ton of channels admittedly i didnt think to actually just go manually look, so its partly my fault...but i cleaned up alot of the channels im subbed to that no longer put out shit and removed recommendations for channels i dont watch frequently that it kept bombarding me with anyway so im finally back! now to go enjoy this hour long comedy special! ps. thanks for uploading another full comedy special, it means alot to me and im sure others too
+Steve Hofstetter @ 40:36... Have you heard of "The laptop bomber"? If so, how long did you wait to tell it after? I hope that night, because it doesn't take red hair for a person to have no soul. Thank you for your time.
+Steve Hofstetter Truly incredible, I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. I've listened to a lot of comedy and usually I end up siting there stone-faced or lightly chuckling but this is really hilarious content, I'm really glad that I had the pleasure of watching this. Thanks Steve!
I gotta say thanks again Steve. I got behind on my bills and lost internet for a month. I'm celebrating by rewatching your specials and they're genuinely just as funny as the first time
I appreciate you approaching comedy in such a contemporary manner. Letting us fund and view you online is awesome for someone like me without much free time to catch comedy shows etc. keep up the great stuff man. and fuck up dem hecklers.
An argument against gay marriage is that "they can't create a human together" but honestly we don't need to. That 19 kids and counting family has the next generation covered.
Whats funny is gay people can't make gay people. So if someone is straight, and doesn't want any gay people walking around, they should never have sex again.because two lesbians can "bump donut holes all night. all you'll get is vapor locked. You won't get no baby" Ralphie May
Just...at 56:18, Steve says "How do you even have sex when you've already had eight children," and those two women who turn to each other and mouth/say "True."
Audrey Weidner His video "Mom Heckler Gets Owned" is a woman who was horribly offended by that bit. She's so fucking ridiculous and idiotic is hilarious, stupid people being stupid makes me laugh.
He makes jokes about what it's like to be a redhead, but the sad thing is that he is truly speaking from the heart. As a redhead who was also teased incessantly as a child, I can say that every one of those redhead jokes resonates deeply within my soul. The WORST part is the number of women my age who now say things to me like, "But I've ALWAYS loved red hair." To which I respond, "Then where the f*** were YOU when I was growing up?"
ngl, not American. live in teh carib so red hair is superrrrrr rare. literally only know one gingerish person now. but I've always been confused at the gingers have no souls and them being evil or being teased. I always thought it was beautiful. the same thing with freckles. I knew you guys got teased but never knew why.
No redheads in my neck of the woods growing up. Probably why I fantasized about them🤷🏾. I didn't get to have my fun with one until I went to Australia as an adult. American ones weren't looking at me anyway.....
They were probably being mocked by their friends for liking redheads so they kept quiet. Plus....unless you knew them growing up...clearly life had just had them in a different location....this planet is plenty large, not everyone is born nearby.
This was so good Steve! Thank you plentifully for making this free and readily available to me. I'm homeless and sometimes I look to youtube to make me laugh. Again, thank you.
I am a redhead (strawberry blonde) and this was just too funny and too relatable haha, thanks Steve for posting this for free! Proud to be a redhead! Go ginga's!!!!!
Love your honesty. Love your bravery in the face of adversity. You come across as a genuinely good human being. Normally I would never consider the possibility of a stand-up comic, babysitting my kids. You have changed my mind.
I wanted to say this for awhile; Your handling of hecklers helped me with dealing with aggressive people in my life. Thank you for what you do (with quite the humor obviously)! ~Zach

You are the best. You have a great way of incorporating real world issues and politics into your jokes. Oh and nobody can forget about your dislike for the TSA 😂
You're very intelligent, very charming socially conscious, I think Young Turks should hire you, I listen to alot of your full stand ups.I think you are aiming for a different type of reaction then your humor calls for sometimes, but you shouldn't underestimate those jokes they're awesome too. It feels like you want gut busting laughter which I think you're more then capable of, when you tell stories that you got upset in and have introspective sam kinison style moments is when you're getting that reaction you want 19:33
Why did you take off the video in which you feel offended as a jew? Why don't you upload it back for everyone to see your penishead side? Why are you hiding? Let the world see who you are with the good and the bad.
I LOVE your anger. It's VERY cathartic. I love that you don't stop with a crowd cringe moment, that instead your plow onward. . . . . . because we all need to learn to face and speak up about bad things, and maybe find ways to meet it with the kind of grace you inspire. Thanks!
oh fuck i was out of breath from laughing so hard and i couldnt even drink my beer without fear of spitting it on my computer screen. ill pay ya $20 for this. and love to see your show live when you come to northern california
With the extreme makeover bit, HIGHLY accurate, my mother painted a kickass star wars hyperspace mural on this kids wall because the mom said he liked star wars, literally one tiny detail from his life, and the whole room I think had tie fighter or swing bed and everything. Just mind boggling the effort they put into those houses. For what even.
I might get into trouble for saying this. What I'm about to say is a platter of red meat you can easily pounce on. But I'm a Christian conservative who LOVES Steve's humor. This man is firkin BRILLIANT. Waiting for him to come to Atlanta.
Heads up, my Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia tickets are on sale now if you haven’t gotten them yet. I’ll be in Nashville, Huntsville, Atlanta and Savannah. Grab tickets at SteveHofstetter.com and see you there!
I've been a fan for a while but this is the first time I've checked out a full special of yours. Brilliant man. The setups for some of the punchlines are insanely good. So many awesome quotable statements.
As a Megan (here in Aus, that's our Mee-gun, and we use Meggan your Meg-n) I can attest this is pretty accurate. My mother has tried to make me her 2.0 (much to her failure, thank goodness).
I honestly couldnt tell you the last time I took the time to write a heartfelt TH-cam comment. I don't go beyond *like* the video & comment *Nice work* or I say nothing. I certainly can't speak on behalf of Steve. His platform is his platform alone. I just want to acknowledge something about his.*Ginger bit*. It seemed heartfelt. Both comedical, but serious at the same time. Many people simply don't have a deep heartfelt understanding about what *Ginger* represents to those with Red Hair a Light Skin. I want to offer an anecdote for anyone dealing with this issue & struggling to internalize rationally. *Because his point needs to be driven home.* Whether or not Steve is just being playful doesnt make the underlying point any less important. One of my close friends is a red head. He is a professional mma fighter and super sweetheart. Got bullied a lot. Learned to fight. Went 4-1 as an amateur and 4-2 as a pro. Now he is retired and teaches kid's self-defense programs in NEPA. Well..when fighters get good...they are noticed...then promoted...and offered contracts. Larger promotions like Bellator and UFC begin to notice. Fighters get nicknames. When they develop a fan base, make money off their brand, etc. Its a career. And the nickname becomes part of their brand in a major way. People trying calling him *The Ginga Ninja.* Why? People thought it was cool that there was a redhead who knew how to fight. It was in intended to be an insult. His fans were simply unaware. They were ignorant. We politely informed them *The Ginja Ninja* title, aka nickname, could be detrimental to his psyche going forward. *Even though it was intended to be inspirational.* I could write a novel or make a documentary about the events which transpired after. But that's his decision. Its hos story to tell. *If he chooses to publicize* I hope he does. Maybe he won't. *While I won't tell his story, I will offer you the moral it conveys.* Because maybe it will help someone. .. If you can stand up to assholes, stand up to them. Assholes are just idiots that never learned they were idiots.. Not everyone has a team of professional mma fighters who have their back. So, if you can help, help. Comedy is great. But Human decency and individualized Mental Health is important too. On the bright side, if you look him up on any other major promos website. *The Ginga Ninja is no longer listed anywhere.* He's well-respected in the Mma community. Beloved even. He is a role model. Just not on a nation level. But in NEPA he sure is. I won't say his name. Not publicly. But you can contact me I'd you need someone to talk to. I can put you in touch. ⛓🔥❤🔥⛓
Mental Health MMA Your friends story made me feel like I should pay. I hadn’t even listened to the beginning. But I am a red head too. And when I read this I wanted to hear what Steve said. This really is a beautiful show. A work of Comedic Gold. But...how the heck do I pay you for your work? I’m not sure where to click?
@Kira Maybe Steve has a Patreon page. I’m going to share his story. Our team runs fundraisers each month. Sometimes for Charity. Sometimes for things a simple as a friends car breaking down lmao. We are willing to run one for Steve as our fundraiser for February, 2020. So, if you figure it out let me know. And if Steve is ok with it we will run a fundraiser. Just need to think of a name for it.
You are one of my new favorites! Thank you for helping break up the monotony of the pandemic, your material is quite funny, and I adore gingas! That word doesn't even look right, but if it works for you, okay.
Awesome show...love the intelligence along with the biting observations.....i see a long happy career in comedy for you. And oh yes love the red hair. #redophile
Hey Steve, I've got a quick question. Do you get more money if I click the ads than if I just leave them alone? Because I'd say your comedy is definitely worth at least that bit of effort.
The act was hilarious, but I had a big 'WHAT?' moment, and had to pause and do some quick Googling after: 47:30 - Back in the day [widows] could not get re-married. Steve Hofstetter, did you know the details of this? Just learned that many high-caste Hindu widows were denied remarriage until 1856, because of weird inheritance and honor reasons. Often it was child brides being married to a guy already on his deathbed, and the marriage was never even consummated. And not being able to remarry afterwards, the girls faced a choice - run away and become prostitutes - or shave their heads, starve in forced fasting, and not be allowed to wear a shirt, or really go outside the house. Damn my curiosity for making me sad...
@@unbroken1010 Ahh, so using existing, but perhaps obscure, traditions to enforce Britain's control over India. Did it start under East India company, or later? What book would you recommend that I read if I wanted to research this further?
Did he not mention slurs in ts video? Did you decide to comment on it without watching, or did you think randomly marginalizing people on your prejudice towards a perceived group was really the thing to do here? God I wish you'd said this at one of his shows.
"Don't cheer yet, you don't know what side I'm on.... Yes you do... let's be realistic, I can read"- Hahahaha, so funny and true I laughed while watching it alone.
I found Steve accidentally on TH-cam and I can't stop listening. I play it out loud in my shop. I love his Heckler responses. Can't get enough, I will see him if he gets close to Richmond VA. My hope is that some one in the crowd takes one for my entertainment. Watching him with a heckler is like watch Tyson and some random guy who jumps in the ring. THANKS STEVE, you've got one more fan who will come see you and buy your stuff.
This is the first time I've watched your actual stand up comedy. I enjoy how you handle hecklers, but this made me laugh a lot, I'll tune in for current content for sure
Is hating on gingers like an American thing? I'm from eastern Europe, and in my country it is more like a compliment or just a hair colour. I.e. - "Have you seen that cute ginger girl next class?"
You got me into American stand up some time ago, and I am so saddened that I can not come and see you live as a brit, but I have bought everything I could afford from you, and you have really opened my eyes to so much talent in the US. I hope so see you one day and thanks for introducing me to this fantastic world of stand up
i like your stuff, steve. Unfortunately, the audio on this one is not so great, and i'm missing some words, kinda gets in the way. I hope your next taping has better audio!
Very funny show. I think it takes a special stand up to be able to be consistently funny the whole time they're on stage and you're up there with the greats!
Awesome, man! I love your standup. Any plans to perform in Western Massachusetts or even the Boston area? I'd love to see you live. Hopefully one day we'll see you up there with some of the other standup specials on Netflix lol.
Coming up, I have shows in New York (April 9th), Boston (April 5th), Philadelphia (April 25th), Pittsburgh (April 12th), and DC (April 26th) - get your tickets at SteveHofstetter.com/calendar.cfm
i refused to run adblock for years until some channels started to take the piss, 3 unskipable 1min ads in a 3min video!? i turned it off for that and wasnt disappointed. thank you for not running an add right before every punchline
Oh my God I have tears in my eyes! I can't stop laughing! My new favorite comedian ever! Thanks for sharing this!! Omg the TSA part!! It's a bomb! I'm dying!!!!
Growing up, I had red hair which glowed with the intensity of 1000 suns. When older women asked me, .""Where did you get your beautiful red hair?" I would say, "It's the refuse from my mother's vagina, when she gave birth. It just never washed out." Now I just shave my head and curse at the "all-knowing" one. By the way, I got some sun block the other day that reads: "SPF-Mandelbrot, f_c(z)=z^2+c." Do you know what this means?PS, I have never been "fiery" in my life; except for those few times when people tousled my hair and I gave their genitalia a quick Tae Kwon Do lesson. Other than that, I am a super mellow guy.
This was amazing! I've enjoyed your videos for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got the chance to see a whole special! Hopefully I'll see you live someday. I'll be keeping an eye on your tour dates! From Columbus, OH here. Cheers Steve!

admittedly i didnt think to actually just go manually look, so its partly my fault...but i cleaned up alot of the channels im subbed to that no longer put out shit and removed recommendations for channels i dont watch frequently that it kept bombarding me with anyway
so im finally back!
now to go enjoy this hour long comedy special!

As an employee with DHS, the script involving TSA was beyond hilarious. Love this.
“ tostitutes” omg, my stomach hurts I laughed so hard at that bit !,
Preschoolstitutes.
Literally have only been able to think of them as such since he said it. Spot on.
As a ginger who loves comedy, I really empathize with you. Love your jokes man, you're a talented guy.

Dude you are funny as shit. Thanks for making this special free. I wish you continued success.
I just love the way he says "traditioooooon"

An argument against gay marriage is that "they can't create a human together" but honestly we don't need to. That 19 kids and counting family has the next generation covered.
And it's also not really consistent. If it was, infertile people should be banned from marrying too.
Whats funny is gay people can't make gay people. So if someone is straight, and doesn't want any gay people walking around, they should never have sex again.because two lesbians can "bump donut holes all night. all you'll get is vapor locked. You won't get no baby" Ralphie May

Best show yet. Every joke perfect.

Loved, loved, loved it.
At the 13 min mark, I became convinced of this ginga’s genius.
This was so good Steve! Thank you plentifully for making this free and readily available to me. I'm homeless and sometimes I look to youtube to make me laugh.
Again, thank you.
Hugs 🫂 I hope you have found yourself a home and stable life. ❤❤❤
Homeless now, same here! Hope you are housed now.
Dude. You’re my inspiration. You may have saved my life, and you’ve driven me to try comedy. Keep fighting the good fight, sir.
Dude funny as hell is a understatement. Dont EVER STOP!!!
I actually started clapping at the end. Great show!
I don't often laugh, it happens on very rare occasions. But you sir, you did it!
I am a redhead (strawberry blonde) and this was just too funny and too relatable haha, thanks Steve for posting this for free! Proud to be a redhead! Go ginga's!!!!!

One of the best comedy shows I've watched. Plus i dont mind watching it over and over so mad love for that.
Thank you Steve for giving me the gift of laughter this evening. ( which I desperately need )
The raccoon abortion joke should make a come back. I ugly laughed and I really needed that. it's been a hard week. thank you for your art.
Thank you very much for the free show! It was awesome!
This was brilliant, funny and insightful. Amazing show!
Extremely smart wit, perfect comedic timing. A very funny guy, and dare I say possibly in the top 20 best in the business right now.
Great show, always smart and hilarious. You're the best my gingga!
they way you structured that first bit was masterful! You drew in the crowd so damn well from the get go
shut off ad block?! I do what I want.
*shuts off ad block because I respect you*
That's how I like it Free & Full Length! Thanks again Steve!
Wow thanks Steve, you're the best! Was happy to buy this special a year ago, looking forward to buying your next special :)
Thankyou. They say laughter is the best medicine, please dont stop making us laugh.

Just need to think of a name for it.
Patreon, Facebook, Gofundme, TH-cam monetization, website with a *tip* button to click, etc
You are one of my new favorites! Thank you for helping break up the monotony of the pandemic, your material is quite funny, and I adore gingas! That word doesn't even look right, but if it works for you, okay.
This special is amazing, and making it free is a smart move, great job Steve!

This was one the best specials I have ever watched! great job Steve!
Awesome show...love the intelligence along with the biting observations.....i see a long happy career in comedy for you. And oh yes love the red hair. #redophile
"I've got one for you... Cavity Search!"
Channeling Mitch Hedberg there! Love it!
Hey Steve, I've got a quick question. Do you get more money if I click the ads than if I just leave them alone? Because I'd say your comedy is definitely worth at least that bit of effort.
Click=money
+Kenny Duran If you don't have money but want to make the effort, like and share the video. If you haven't already that would support Steve.
+Kenny Duran he can't answer to this says the youtube guidelines
TheLasagneLP Gotcha. Thanks everyone!
Fuck ads.... do. not. click.
He walks with the kings. Love his stuff.
This guy looks like the ginger version of Edward Snowden
Seems legit.
DrMD lol tbh he does
DrMD *ginga
didn't you see the set? he prefere to be call a gingA
He's Snowden's shiny form
One of the best storytellers in comedy. 🥰
The act was hilarious, but I had a big 'WHAT?' moment, and had to pause and do some quick Googling after:
47:30 - Back in the day [widows] could not get re-married.
Steve Hofstetter, did you know the details of this?
Just learned that many high-caste Hindu widows were denied remarriage until 1856, because of weird inheritance and honor reasons. Often it was child brides being married to a guy already on his deathbed, and the marriage was never even consummated.
And not being able to remarry afterwards, the girls faced a choice - run away and become prostitutes - or shave their heads, starve in forced fasting, and not be allowed to wear a shirt, or really go outside the house.
Damn my curiosity for making me sad...
Let's just be thankful it's better now.
Steve knows his history lmao
@@unbroken1010 What makes you say that the caste system was created by the British? I've never hear anything like that before.
@@unbroken1010 Ahh, so using existing, but perhaps obscure, traditions to enforce Britain's control over India. Did it start under East India company, or later?
What book would you recommend that I read if I wanted to research this further?
My first time seeing whole show of yours- LOVED IT- you are so witty! One of my favorite comedians ! HILARIOUS!
hahaha this video was sponsored by united when i watched it. amazing
Did he not mention slurs in ts video? Did you decide to comment on it without watching, or did you think randomly marginalizing people on your prejudice towards a perceived group was really the thing to do here? God I wish you'd said this at one of his shows.
"Don't cheer yet, you don't know what side I'm on.... Yes you do... let's be realistic, I can read"- Hahahaha, so funny and true I laughed while watching it alone.
Saw a clip of Steve on Worldstar and had to check him out on youtube. Pleasantly surprised and I know he is going to blow up! Well done Steve!
Video starts at 0:00.
Thanks, but where does it end though?
Luke627 lolol
Thank you, I was really struggling to locate the beginning. Don't know what I would of done without this comment.
it’s really not funny
Looks like we've got a captain.
I found Steve accidentally on TH-cam and I can't stop listening. I play it out loud in my shop. I love his Heckler responses. Can't get enough, I will see him if he gets close to Richmond VA. My hope is that some one in the crowd takes one for my entertainment. Watching him with a heckler is like watch Tyson and some random guy who jumps in the ring. THANKS STEVE, you've got one more fan who will come see you and buy your stuff.
This reminds me of Tim minchin's song ginger. The whole time I was thinking about that
Only a ninja can find another ninja
This is the first time I've watched your actual stand up comedy. I enjoy how you handle hecklers, but this made me laugh a lot, I'll tune in for current content for sure
I purposefully turned off my adblock just for you Steve.
Myfavsandlikes I applaud you
SO DID I BUT THEN GOT A 2 MINUTE AD THAT WASN'T SKIPABLE
DarkHumor131 what a hard life you have
this was one of the best specials I have seen in a while, can't wait for the next one
Is hating on gingers like an American thing? I'm from eastern Europe, and in my country it is more like a compliment or just a hair colour. I.e. - "Have you seen that cute ginger girl next class?"
You're amazing Steve. Wish I could come see you live in Dayton tonight!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE COLOR!! "IF LOVIN' RED IS WRONG, I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT!!"
You got me into American stand up some time ago, and I am so saddened that I can not come and see you live as a brit, but I have bought everything I could afford from you, and you have really opened my eyes to so much talent in the US. I hope so see you one day and thanks for introducing me to this fantastic world of stand up
My new special is available on my Patreon! For just $3, it's over an hour of stand-up comedy. Check it out at www.Patreon.com/SteveHofstetter
i like your stuff, steve. Unfortunately, the audio on this one is not so great, and i'm missing some words, kinda gets in the way. I hope your next taping has better audio!
Steve Hofstetter I love you
Paul Scholes is a great red haired role model!
Very funny stuff.
Steve Hofstetter hey look at that ginger he is. Very funny man
Very funny show. I think it takes a special stand up to be able to be consistently funny the whole time they're on stage and you're up there with the greats!
good stuff Steve! I laughed my a** off when you got to toddlers in tiaras. haha. is there somewhere I can buy a dvd?
p.s. when's the next time you are in Seattle?

+Steve Hofstetter you are absolutely fucking hilarious. I was in tears for most of this
Thanks for putting up your videos Steve. I wish I had your patience and skill.
Awesome, man! I love your standup. Any plans to perform in Western Massachusetts or even the Boston area? I'd love to see you live. Hopefully one day we'll see you up there with some of the other standup specials on Netflix lol.
+Anthony Franco I'll be at American International U in Springfield for an April Fool's Day show.

What does lol mean
i refused to run adblock for years until some channels started to take the piss, 3 unskipable 1min ads in a 3min video!?
i turned it off for that and wasnt disappointed. thank you for not running an add right before every punchline
that was totally only one person... lol
Oh my God I have tears in my eyes! I can't stop laughing! My new favorite comedian ever! Thanks for sharing this!! Omg the TSA part!! It's a bomb! I'm dying!!!!
Growing up, I had red hair which glowed with the intensity of 1000 suns. When older women asked me, .""Where did you get your beautiful red hair?" I would say, "It's the refuse from my mother's vagina, when she gave birth. It just never washed out." Now I just shave my head and curse at the "all-knowing" one. By the way, I got some sun block the other day that reads: "SPF-Mandelbrot, f_c(z)=z^2+c." Do you know what this means?PS, I have never been "fiery" in my life; except for those few times when people tousled my hair and I gave their genitalia a quick Tae Kwon Do lesson. Other than that, I am a super mellow guy.
Absolutely one of new favourite comedians. Definitely heading to the website to check out more shows!!
Love your albums. Can't wait for more
How come you didn’t end this special with having the audience ask you anything? #afterburn
OMG! That was awesome! Thank you so much for posting it
I liked it, but the subpar audio quality for your voice was a little distracting at the start.
I just can't help but laugh so much or smile so hard or both. You are just too funny. Keep being awesome.
Where are the hecklers? 😢
they edit them out of specials
This was amazing! I've enjoyed your videos for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got the chance to see a whole special! Hopefully I'll see you live someday. I'll be keeping an eye on your tour dates! From Columbus, OH here. Cheers Steve!
