I wouldn’t praise Hofstetter too much. His comedy is horrendous and he relies pretty much entirely on bringing in paid hecklers. Every time he shows up on PKA, he is not just unfunny but he kills all the enjoyment of the episode.
Sorry to go to Reddit here, but here’s Hofstetter on Hofstetter:

The “paid hecklers” accusation again.
Ahem are YOU being paid? It seems a lot of people just don’t like him.
Privilege. Especially white privilege. It’s easier to be happy when you’re benefiting from the invisible suffering of others.
Lack of empathy and utterly selfish. It enables these trash humans to take others rights and believe the lie that doing it is a good thing.
I’ve never read Flowers for Algernon.
I don’t understand why you said that, but you should. The short story is very quick.
Love Steve. Been following him for years.
"Fuck you, got mine " exemplified .
If conservatives were happy they wouldn’t act the way they do.
I have a conservative friend who will start screaming like a little girl when a cyclist is doing nothing other than just using the bikelane that happens to come into an intersection with the road he’s on.
Such happy people, amazing.
Tell him we hate him too
Why are you friends with douchebags? I’m not trying to be snarky, I am genuinely interested
I have a douchebag friend. We have a lot in common. We’re both like playing pinball. We both get migraines, and we both have chronic pain. Both have families that we love a lot. We’re both older and retired. I genuinely like him.
He posts a lot of shit on Facebook “owning” liberals. I don’t think it suits him, but I think he’s caught up in the moment, and I think his pain and migraines get to him a bit.
I believe he’s too good a man to stay on this track, and I’m going to be there when he realizes it. And I’ll give him a hug and tell him I understand.
My sister has a childhood best friend that she had been through everything with, including him coming out as gay, and in her 50s her friend started supporting Trump. Again, I don’t think it suits him, he’s a sweet guy, but she just quit a relationship of 40 years because of that.
We gotta look inside people. They have s lot of reasons for what they do.
He’s a good guy to me, actually a decent friend.
Willing to help whenever etc, never met someone like him. We just have very different opinions and a different response to what bothers us haha
More like blissfully ignorant. My experience with conservatives is that they like to sweep problems under the rug and pretend everything to be fine.
I realized its very much this when I asked my mother (born in 1961) if she had never taken a civics class, and she answered no. She actually believed(s?) the president creates laws. I don’t know what she thought congress was.
Ignorance is bliss, and to persist with conservatism requires embracing an ever expanding level of wilful ignorance.
Conservatives are racist nazis that have the IQ of an inbred redneck
I’m a redneck. Not inbred more than normal, as far as I know. I think I’m purty smart sometimes. Since you and I are 50th cousins, at worst, you’ve got some redneck in you.
Don’t be like the fascists. Don’t get lazy in your thinking. Our antagonists are human, some are very intelligent.
To defeat their ideology, we must view them accurately. Otherwise, how will we anticipate what they will do?
Removed by mod
I’ve noticed that conservatives cant feel empathy. They only feel sympathy. This is why they don’t understand any injustice until if effects them personally. This is the root psychological reasoning behind the leopards eating faces memes.
The richest man in the world, who has only ONCE paid anything approaching a 20% tax rate and crowed like he was a PHILANTHROPIST when he did, is removing all social programs that are a safety net for the poorest and most desperate among us.
Empathy? Sympathy? They are vampires.
I prefer to call them Ghouls.
Completely unrelated, I had a character for Age of Sigmar’s Soulbound (TTRPG). I played a ghoul named Jeff Bezos and I doubled down on the ghoul madness.
I’m just waiting to bring back Jeff with his now 2 imaginary friends, Musky and Zucky.
He does stand up. He’s pretty funny. I like when he heckles back at hecklers.
The funny part is that he’s known as a heckle comedian but has publicly stated that he hates hecklers. He’s only known as a heckle comedian because he has zero qualms about tearing them down as soon as they try. His comebacks are usually pretty brutal because he just wants to end the heckling and keep his set moving.
ahh yes family values like bailing Andre Tate out.
Andrew Tate and his brother have probably, uh, you know…
Raped, incest, murder? At this point I wouldn’t be surprised at any of it.
Sorry, they’ve probably fooled around with each other.
Family values.
Not to mention worshipping a thrice-married sexual predator
“We’re happier than libruls”
Must be the whole “Ignorance is bliss” as well
I’m pretty sure that they are “happier” is not a factual statement.
Was going to say, most that I know seem pretty miserable and looking for someone to blame or hate
Like a cop beating up a suspect they’re… happy.
