"Hey, fuck you. He paid to be here just like the rest of us." UPDATE
According to the Defamer, the clip originally appeared on YouTube, but was taken down at the request of Shore’s reps at the Gersh Agency, ostensibly because it was a copyrighted performance and was used without permission. The clip bobbed back to the surface on iFilms.
The reaction of some comedians and others has been disconcerting. The word of the day: schadenfreude, “A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.” Some folks, even some comics, are behaving like 14-year-old junior high girls by taking the “I never liked that guy anyway/he deserved to get socked/it’s about time” approach to the whole affair.
Shore is a comedian. Plain and simple. He’s a draw, he’s a professional, he’s a standup comic, just like us. We see him get punched and we immediately identify. If you think you’re immune to this kind of assault, you’re out of your mind. If you think Pauly Shore somehow deserved to get punched onstage in a comedy club, you’re part of the problem.
Ifilm is hosting a short video that purportedly shows Pauly Shore dealing with a heckler in the front row of The 8th St. Comedy Club in Odessa, TX. Another patron hops onstage, confronts Shore, then decks him, as the crowd yells, “Hit him!”
The title of this post is what someone (we believe it’s the guy who eventually assaults Shore) yells just before the confrontation.
the 8th St. Comedy Club in Odessa seems to have a crowd control problem. And America seems to have a problem with comedians.
Is it real? According to their website, Shore headlined there this past weekend. It sure looks real. There’s no statement on the site alluding to any assault. Other websites like the Defamer are reporting it, but the MSM has yet to pick it up. We suppose that, since there was no racial slur involved in the incident, there’s really no story here. (Unless you count Shore calling the crowd “White trash motherfuckers,” as he left the stage, after being assaulted.) And, because of the MSM’s inexplicable hatred of Shore, they view this as something that was inevitable, if not a public service.
Thanks to Paul Ogata for alerting us.

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."

This is the result of Michael Richards’ rant. Individuals in the crowd believe they need to take it up a notch before the comedian gets out of control.
I’ll be honest – I was going to post something kind of shitty about Pauly Shore, but after watching that video, I gotta say that no comic deserves that.First of all, where was that cop BEFORE Shore got decked?And secondly, we are entering scary times. Between Richards and this, I can see a trend starting where people go to shows armed with video cameras specifically trying to get the comic to snap so they can race home and post it on the web.Anybody see any clubs stepping up to nip this crap in the bud?
Sensie Ern said:“This is the result of Michael Richards’ rant. Individuals in the crowd believe they need to take it up a notch before the comedian gets out of control.”Huh? We’re not sure what you mean. This makes little or no sense.Timmy Mac writes:“…I can see a trend starting where people go to shows armed with video cameras specifically trying to get the comic to snap so they can race home and post it on the web.”Congratulations. We’ve been seeing a trend for some time and it started long before Richards. It started before the knife in the wall in the editorial cartoon. It started long before James Inman was accosted at the Underground.Since 1999, we’ve been citing one instance after another of reporters, bloggers, television and radio hosts, columnists who casually characterize comics as subhuman or disturbed or just garden variety assholes. It’s created a hostile environment.At the very least, we should all be able to do our thing on the stage of a comedy club where we are performing in front of ostensible comedy fans. As is obvious on the video, some comedy clubs are not doing much to “nip this crap in the bud.” Often, an industry will be motivated to change their methods or reinforce their current modes when they feel pressure from the MSM. Ideally, readers/viewers/listeners across the country would now be treated to stories like, “Comedy clubs have seen a slight uptick in violent and shocking incidents in recent months… Should more be done to protect the performers and control patrons?” Instead, we get stories like, “Comedy clubs are cesspools of hatred! Should more be done to control what comics say and do? Are comics going too far?!” And the reaction of some comedians (“[Fill in name of comic here] got what he deserves.”) adds fuel to the fire and reassures the media that the comics are the problem, not the unruly comedy club patrons or the lax club managers.
We need to stop people from saying things aloud that may hurt anyone’s feelings. All comedy should be submitted in writing 48 hours in advance, and a cabinet composed of representatives from the Dept of Homeland security, the local PTA, the NAACP, GLAAD, MADD, local Weblos Den Leaders, and a Puerto Rican can look it over.They will then use a red pencil to mark out anything they find offensive.We all know comedians are liberal commie sickos; the true enablers are the filthy comedy fans that pay money to watch these circus freaks spew their verbal pornography. And they’re probably all drunk. No one should be able to drink alcohol within 100 feet of any non-magical performance.In general, people need to quit joking around. Get serious, for the love of God. I once saw a kid with a book of saucy limericks get kicked in the head by a plow horse. Sure, he was in bad shape, but hundreds of children were spared from forming a negative stereotype about men from Nantucket.Pauly Shore probably talked about naughty fondling and president-bashing. I just wish God could take away all subversive thought, so this country could united!
That’s it then. Carry pepper spray with you when you do your set. Someone steps on stage, tag ’em with the spray. You can use the Pauly Shore incident as your defense in court, if necessary. The only way to teach some of these brain-dead crustaceans that it’s not okay to go on stage is for there to be consequences when they do and the clubs don’t seem to be eager to do anything about it. It’s up to the comics to defend themselves. If I had all the money in the world, I’d open a club and hire two of the biggest Polynesians I could find. Their sole purpose would be to throw hecklers out on their asses at the first sign of trouble. And the comic wouldn’t even have to ask. Zero tolerance for that stuff. Once word got out that there was a comedy club that actually gave a shit about comics and afforded them the same respect and protection that musicians, stage actors, and other live performers get, I’d drive those other clubs out of business. Who’d want to perform in one of these dungeons when you can go to a place that has your back. Too bad most comedy clubs aren’t designed and managed by people who like comedians.
