As Steve would say himself, theres no point in constantly preaching to the choir. U gotta take these 'poor audience reactions' if u wanna reach those still napping, and by this reaction id say Montreal is clattered in the fast asleep. This is one of my favourite short clips of Steve for this very reason, the contrast between the info being touted and the audience reaction to something they've most likely never heard before is like 2 opposite ends of a spectrum. Reminds me of first hearing Bill Hicks and not getting why he was so adored......sleepy nightmares lol

Let this be an example of never giving up and always striving to be the best you can be. This was one of the toughest crowds I've ever seen, but yet because Steve stayed focused and didn't let them get to him, he started making quite a lot of people laugh. Most people would have gave up immediately at the severe stress involved in this. I watched one guy in the front row throughout the entire video, and what I noticed was, he didn't laugh or really smile for about most of the show, but towards the end, Steve had him giggling a bit. No matter how small you make an impact in this world, it's always important to stay positive the best you can, because even though you might not see it, your actually making real change.

@@mduke2k What I'm suggesting is we try to keep a little perspective. I agree 'cancelling' things we don't like is not the way to do things. I'm also saying that a) it isn't a new thing (but today's connectivity means unprecedented opinion reach) and b) that we might be exaggerating it a little (partly because of the former, but also because none of us are that good at accepting contrary opinions). Consider Bill Burr's bit in Paper Tiger about the people who complained about The Upside casting Bryan Cranston instead of a real paraplegic actor. He uses that as proof of 'his country' having gone mad (or similar wording). Doubtless many of his fans will sit there going 'yes Bill, you tell 'em!. You tell 'em!!' Bloody snowflakes.' But in an age where tens of millions can find others who share their views, then express those views at the touch of a button, is it really such a surprise that some people thought that? And how many people was it? And how many expressed criticism of the casting vs how many petitioned for it to be banned? The film was still successful and the vast majority of people still think it is fine for an able-bodied actor to play a paraplegic. So, you can focus on the tiny minority who thought it was terrible that Cranston played a paraplegic, or you can maintain perspective, point out this was a niche view, and politely make the case (if it actually needs to be made) for the casting of Cranston in that role.

I think he was struggling a bit tbh. He was a lot slower in his delivery than he usually is. But I'm not surprised to be quite honest as this was a *tough crowd*. But it definitely wasn't his best set.

I'm from Amsterdam... and I'm jealous of this audience. extraterrestrial

Fair play for not giving up on this gig!

Ive been all across Canada but Montreal has some of the most arrogant people on the planet. I remember in a day and a half I had 3 different Montreal natives stop what they were doing only to ask if I was American. Then smirks, giggles, attitude, then return to their goings on. I was off put by the first one and last one particularly, two middle aged women(house wives out shopping types) and they were laughing about something walking away from shops and as I passed heading towards the shops one reached out almost as if to pinch my shirt and said "Hey, hey uh are you American?" I replied "Yeah" and that one said "see, yeah, right lol" and they walked on. 2nd one was a buzzed up bar guy with 3 or 4 friends who asked from down the bar but did so more normally but that group did ignore me completely after I answered. The last was a worker in a book store/restaurant place and I asked about a book and he waited till I had turned to go looking for it and he said "your from the states eh..?" and at that point I had noticed this shit and without looking back said "Right O mate" and he mumbled something almost loud enough for me to hear but by then I didnt give a shit what his dumbass was on about. circa 2008

Steve tried something new at the beginning, which did not work and affected the rest of the gig unfortunately. He use to deliver his bits perfectly.

His comedy was way over there heads lol

Just shows how skilled he is to make it though that group of zombies

Woooo boy, this crowd 😂

He didn't start well when the audience made their first judgement. With a crowd this bad, you got to win them over immediately. Still I cannot believe how stuck up this crowd was... I laughed the whole 7 minutes.

It's weird to see him doing the concept stuff. That opening flattened the room, I wondered what the payoff would be but he just drifted into recycling some of his regular material. I'm unsure if he was experimenting, or if he was pissed about the booking in some way and messed his segment up deliberately.

Back in the 70s my dad was offered a top job in Canada, he turned it down, thank God!! Steve is awesome.

Wow what a great comedian. Others would've been nervous as hell.

I hope this crowd was offended haha..
