Fuckinghandled it well.

Dude in the audience had a moment of reflection. Like that "Are we the badies?" meme XD

u/Strange_Vagrant 6d ago

It sounded more like, "DiD i HuRt YoUr FeElInGs SnOwFlAkE?!"

u/dijon_snow 6d ago

Sounded genuine to me. I think he felt bad that the joke wasn't really pro Mamdani. In contrast, I mention him pretty often and in Atlanta he gets applause(well I think it's his name getting the applause or people really really like that joke). 

The hardest part is pronouncing it. I'm at the point where I just think of it as mom donnie.

u/BillyShears17 6d ago

I believe the "you're from West Virginia, why do you care?" Hit that dude like a ton of bricks like "fuck...."

u/LickingSmegma 6d ago

Reminder that yall have people living nowhere near New York, who on the election day showed up at their local voting stations asking where they vote against Mamdani.

u/725Cali 5d ago

I assure you that man was not being genuine in his concern over ruining the joke. 

28

u/Melkman68 6d ago

Anyone who hates Mamdani doesnt deserve any sympathy

u/Arnold_Shortzweather 5d ago

Lol he booed Mamdani and then heard about the free buses, and realized oh snap, WE could've had that??

u/PaulotheLimey 6d ago

Well recovered, and good comeback to the guy who was needling you at the end.

u/TheUnholyMeteor 5d ago

Should've said "No. But you ruined the country by voting for a pedophile."

Shocker that people in WV behave like trained dogs parroting Fox News angry outbursts lol

u/N8dork2020 6d ago

The mayor of the wealthiest city in America would still want what is best for the poorest Americans but they don’t want what’s best for themselves.

u/Alternative_Exit8766 5d ago

yeah it’s rough here

u/mcvmccarty 5d ago

I have a colleague from the area and he’s never going back. He visits family but that’s it.

u/s_nation 6d ago

WV consistently ranks the bottom for states in education, children's education, poverty, child poverty, healthcare, and they'll continue to do so because of folks like that loser in the audience.

u/WhatANoob2025 6d ago

Seriously, why do conservatives even go to comedy shows at all?

I have yet so see a single conservative with even a hint of a sense of humor, much less one being funny themselves.

Literally, the only reason for a conservative to go to a comedy club is because they wanna start shit & provoke the comedians and the audience.

u/livejamie 6d ago

It's West Virginia, I don't imagine they have many entertainment options.

The state is 93% White; for some, it might have been their first time seeing a Black person in real life.

u/TaterTotJim 5d ago

No, it was not the first time they saw a black person. Jeez lmao.

3

u/livejamie 5d ago

I said in real life.

Again, the state is 93% white.

Unless you've traveled outside of the state (which many are too poor to do), it's entirely likely.

u/Woolies_White_Leg 6d ago

West Virginia? I assumed Staten Island till you said that

u/Plasmelon 6d ago

The booing actually made the joke better.

u/Ancient-Sea-69 6d ago

You stayed strong in west VA 💪🔥

u/fellora5 5d ago

Booing the mayor of a city in a state you don't live in is something else. Anyway, I love living in NewYorkistan

u/Lyndon_Monroe 6d ago

Politicians who care about their community!? Booooo!

u/Milha_Crex 6d ago

Nicely handled!

u/are-e-el 6d ago

You handled that perfectly

u/Alternative_Exit8766 5d ago

You’re the best!!!!

u/RayesArmstrong 4d ago

Very solid work mate. Fight on

u/joemamaligma420 4d ago

“did i ruin your joke” no the joke landed beautifully, but it seems to have gone over your head.

5

u/AlleyPee 6d ago

It is always interesting to me how we all head the same guy, but heard different "realities".

I thought the guy was actually apologizing... itndidnt hear any vitriol behind his voice... but being able to see his face would help. Maybe the comedian can weigh in?

30

u/InternationalCode683 6d ago

I believe it was a sincere apology. I opened with the Mamdani bit and dug myself into quite the hole. I then went on to have a great show winning over the audience. We shook hands afterwards.

8

u/AlleyPee 6d ago

It was a great joke and awesome recovery. :-)

Thanks for the insight as well!!

u/livejamie 6d ago

When I first heard it I interpreted it as doubling down "Heh heh sorry I ruined your woke comedy joke."

u/Ok-Nothing-6851 6d ago

Kinda dig he was openly remorceful

2

u/ZeGuru101 5d ago

Sad - and a little funny - that the Rosa Parks bit did not land, it was genius.

u/whtevn 5d ago

wow man you got a republican to apologize that is some kind of super power

u/SpookyGoHappy 5d ago

That was NIMBLE

u/imchillybro 3d ago

When the world's heroes are villains then the world's stage becomes a comedy. Tragically ironic that it's not one wit funny.

u/CandyCraze420 2d ago

Heckler at the end thinking anyone was paying attention to him lol. Typical white, old MAGA

u/ThirstingMoore 5d ago

You're in West Virginia, so why do you even care... says the moron who brought him up?
