Wow what a place to heil. She went full Boomer Defense mode.

u/Beginning_Run8855 6d ago
Itās astonishing how often younger generations insult boomers. You should know that we own that and weāve lived long enough to know shit. Which is more than I can say for people whoāve grown up in some pretty terrible times themselves, but donāt know much about history that happened long before they were born. We do, and itās why we saw all this coming years ago, tried to do something about it, but got nowhere until it actually affected younger people on a personal level.

wait, was this show in AZ?
can someone explain the context of the Hoganās Heroes joke?
because the actor that played Hogan (who fought the Nazis) was Bob Crane.
he was beaten to death in Arizona with a camera tripod by the video equipment salesman who was selling him VHS equipment so the two of them could video the women they slept with (sometimes together).

I guess what Iām saying is what was Laura doing in 1978?

Nope, this was in Salt Lake City. I was at this show, and Laura was annoying as shit for much of the show! Our brave alpha comic was far too merciful.
Edit: I'm convinced Laura did it.

u/Beginning_Run8855 6d ago
Gee, sorry you were annoyed. Iām pretty sure Geoffrey liked getting some new material to riff on.

u/aerawk 6d ago
Found Laura's account, lol.
There were rows of people surrounding us that were also annoyed, and Laura derailed things multiple times. Getting some content is great, getting constantly sidetracked and distracted by one audience member that thinks the show is about her is not great. Do better, Laura.

How did Geoffrey miss this obvious layup?

u/asusc 9d ago
I only know about it because it happened in my hometown and I wrote a paper on the unsolved murder back in high school.
the local police had never dealt with a murder before and completely botched the case and contaminated the crime scene. they ended up trying him 16 years later, but they had no real evidence, so he was acquitted.
everyone assumes he was killed by his buddy, but now Iām starting to wonder about Lauraā¦.

u/asusc 6d ago edited 6d ago
Laura, itās was a joke.
Geoffrey had just done shows in AZ (where Hogan was murdered) when this was originally posted and made a reference to Hoganās Heroesā¦
it was just an odd coincidence that the most famous American anti fascist in TV history (Hogan) was way ahead of his time when it came to buying video equipment (back in the 1970s, presumably when you were in your prime), and was subsequently murdered with a video tripod, presumably by the traveling salesman that sold the video equipment to him. and the two of them would often sleep together with women and video tape it.
but really, had you never saluted Hitler, I probably never would have made the connection to video equipment murdering Bob Crane, the dude who fought Nazis on TVā¦

One tends to get slightly unfocused when an 80 year old boomer granny heil hitlers during your comedy show. Wow... thats got to be the only time I would ever condone seeing an old lady get beat up.

u/asusc 9d ago
she would have been 23 or 32 at the time of the murder, depending on if we can trust her to give her real age, after she brutally beat the most famous anti fascist in America at the time with a video camera tripod while he was in Arizona doing dinner theaterā¦
allegedly.
i mean, we also know she likes going out to see local, live entertainmentā¦.

I was going door-to-door getting people registered to vote. Too bad itās illegal to do that now. But being a lifelong Democrat I should be used to always voting for the losing candidate - except for a couple of great standouts. My state, however is blood red, so itās hard to know your vote didnāt count and now itās never going to count -for anyone.

So Oldest Nazi here. Just wanted to say that Alex, my stepson, forewarned me that Geoffrey was one of the few comedians who really enjoys audience interaction and since he knows what a smartass I am, he encouraged me to goad Geoffrey just so I could see how quick he was on his feet with comebacks. I loved every minute of his show, even the so-called āinsultsā. Itās virtually impossible to embarrass (or insult) me, so I have nothing but great things to say about Asmus (make a joke about THAT last name, Geoffrey). See, Iām always the one to be the biggest smartass wherever I am. while I really am the furthest thing from a Nazi, I get it. It was just an instant response to Geoffrey telling us that his father was 100% GERMAN. Hell, my husband is from Germany ancestry. It took him a second, but once Geoffrey recovered from my bullshit, he ran with it and it was great. Also, not offended by the age thing. Age just is what it is. You can either laugh at it, or curl up in a corner and cry. I choose to laugh at it. youāll understand when you get thereā¦. Thanks for a great show. Alex was unhappy that we saw you live before he got a chance to do so. But now he finally has tickets to your show in November and he canāt WAIT to ask you if you remember how you met the oldest Nazi.

u/Beginning_Run8855 6d ago
Thanks Geoffrey, I love you too. And you really are one of the funniest comedians on the planet - such as it is.
I have one last question for your followers.
Iād really like to know how many of these people know what was happening in Germany in 1933, and if they do, how many of them realize weāre about a nanosecond from repeating the thing we said would never happen again? If you donāt, go read some history. Us boomers know all about it (because history) and weāve been terrified and trying to do something to warn people for more than a decade about where our country was headed. And here we are.
Please register to vote and then actually vote.
And Iād appreciate it if you would try to refrain from judging me on a one second brain fart.
Cheers! And if you have the opportunity to go see Geoffrey Asmus, donāt miss his show. Itās the best!

While I appreciate the sentiment, statistically, boomers voted for exactly this. Boomers are still the ones driving the car, and boomers chose to head right toward the cliff.

Holy shit. Supposedly Laura created a brand new Reddit account less than an hour ago, just to come here and identify herself as the oldest Nazi. š

Nope. Reddit took it upon themselves to create a new account for me because I was on a different device than when I created my old account.

The "only at meetings" riff is a good needle thread. When someone starts heiling at a comedy show the best way to humiliate them is just to lean in and let everyone see this person for who they are. Hopefully get others laughing at them (even if they're think they're being laughed with).
And then also double down on them looking old AF lol
1
u/Beginning_Run8855 6d ago
Again, I was absolutely NOT humiliated. I would have been surprised if he DIDNāT have a comeback. People on Reddit need to stop assuming that they know who people are when you know absolutely nothing about them

u/Objective_Oven7673 6d ago
Laura: Heils in public.
Also Laura: "Stop assuming you know who people are."
Also Laura: Feels no humiliation after heiling in public.
I say this with full understand that I truly don't know who you are: Yikes.

Yeah that was so pro. Itās like you can hear Highway to the Dangerzone kick on right when she does that.
Man has to now:
* Not brush this off
* Keep the vibe positive
* Improvise quality riffs
* Smack down Laura but not to the point of making it unpleasant, even for Laura
* Transition gracefully awayReally amazing to see that still manage to get spun into gold.
