The likes of George Carlin and Richard Pryor ripping hecklers apart (NSFW)

You'd have to be either extremely brave or very stupid to be a stand-up comedian.

Who in their right minds would enter into a career that involves standing in front of a crowd of often drunk strangers, trying to make them laugh? It takes thick skin and massive cojones. Of course an occupational hazard of the job is being interrupted by annoying hecklers. A meticulous routine can be ruined by just one leery member of the audience. Thankfully, a lot of the best comics have the perfect weapon to ward off such rude b**tards - their razor-sharp wit. Remember that they have the microphone and they're probably funnier than you. We love this video compilation of comic legends ripping rude w*nkers apart with their p*ss-funny put-downs. But be warned - as you can imagine some of the language is a little fruity... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlahusAR5hU
