Pauly Shore Vs. The Angry Heckler


We'd never recommend that a comedy club patron, no matter how offended he felt over a comic's reflexive response to his poor audience etiquette, take to the stage to settle a grievance; as we've all learned from the last few weeks in Michael Richards news, a club is a peaceful place where people come together to celebrate their differences through the art of stand-up without confrontations of any kind. But over the weekend in Odessa, TX, a man displeased with Biodome superstar Pauly Shore's attempts to quiet some hecklers so that he could continue on with his comedic insights into the human condition without further interruption shattered the peace with a right hook to Shore's face. In the above video of the incident, apparently captured by another patron at the club, it's hard to tell if the comedian got in a shot of his own, other than the "Fuck all you fuckin' white trash [unintelligible]" he offered as he followed the police officer subduing his attacker off-stage. Normally, we'd send you off with an exhortation to enjoy the clip, but given the circumstances, we'd rather you quietly lament the blow this regrettable incident has dealt to audience/comedian relations as you squint through repeated viewings, trying to discern the exact moment of impact in the murky footage.

UPDATE: The clip's already gone: "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner The Gersh Agency because its content was used without permission." Agencies can get things off YouTube now? The internets are doomed if agents are running the show.

UPDATE 2: The video has reappeared here! With fun editing making sure you don't miss the punch.

  • Too late:
    "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner The Gersh Agency because its content was used without permission"

    Does the Gersh Agency rep hecklers now?

  • The Jews are responsible for all the fighting in the world, and they are repped by Jews who take 10% of the world.

  • it's a low point when you get schooled by a heckler in odessa texas.

  • Of course it's been removed. It'll be released at the very least on iTunes, if not DVD. I know I'd pay to watch someone finally administer some smackdown on Pauly Shore.

    Don't try to tell me you wouldn't too....

  • "White Trash?" As a caucasion, who is also trashy, I take deep offense at this careless remark and demand a public defenestration.

  • Ah, the ghost of Andy Kauffman possesses a hack like Pauley Shore for some hopelessly staged hijinks. That's soooooo Andy. Have you watched that video? That hillbilly didn't come within a foot of hitting Shore. That was a bad, B-movie, WWF stunt fight. Not only was the gag bad, but think of some other mitigating factors - No one, even a redneck in Odessa, goes to a show to laugh "with" Pauley Shore. consequently, they could not be angered. Second, no one in Odessa is sober enough after 7 p.m. to land a blow. And third, doesn't this seem a little too soon after the Kramer incident? Shore wants to cash in on "comedian hasbeen open season," and realizes the world has the attention span of a gnat, so he had to act fast. The whole ting is bollocks. wow, I feel better.

  • Since Richards' already took the Blacks, Rosie the Chinese, Mel the Jews, and Shore white trash, who is left for the rest of us to make fun of?

  • Andrew Dice Clay will be going after retarded kids any day now.

  • Damn it, Peter Petrelli was too late! Save the has-been (or, wait, never-was), save the world!

  • As a resident of Odessa TX, I'd just like to respond to Pittsburghsteamer. You vastly underestimate our capacity for violence. Especially drunken violence. Especially toward Pauly Shore. Just because the guy was too drunk to swing straight doesn't mean he didn't mean it. I'd like an apology.
    Fun side note, the "comedy club" that this occured at was a "rock club" until recently. The last notable act I can think of that graced that stage was Vanilla Ice, like rap/rock Vanilla Ice. Its good to live in the anus of america.

  • Can an apology tour of leaders of the White Trash American Community be far behind? Good thing K-Fed's calendar is pretty much open these days. Let the healing begin, ya'll.

  • it was funny when stuttering john nearly made pauly cry with a few of his howard stern questions mocking pauly's 'the weeze' act & inflections
