- Arsenio is irritated and annoyed when members of
the gay rights organization, "Queer Nation" decided to interrupt Arsenio as he was about to introduce his guest Paul Hogan. Arsenio was ticked off at their protest and decided to respond. - Zábava
This kind of honesty is not allowed anymore.
Tim Carter - This kind of honesty is not allowed anymore.
Dave Chappelle - Hold my weed..
Not even "allowed" it's being killed
because everyone is so damn sensitive these days. look at 90s def comedy jam they spoke freely...alot of comedians are afraid to talk like this these days...dave chappelle spoke up finally..and look at the sensitive back lash he got..theres america for you in 2019
FACTS
Only if you don't fight back. You do have a choice you know.
Shit got real when he walked up those stairs and took those shades off.
Lol true
Ricky Jones killed them
Fuggin' loved that. He was so clean thouggghh!
@@williamschutz4982 nah. He spoke his mind. And don't feed me that "Hollywood puppeteer 'they' control the media" shit. If you know it, stay above.
Floyd Davis he unbutton the jacket too 😂
"I don't know Gus van Sant, but I have had Elton John on the show and he rocked the house!" that was fucking awesome
what's wondered me was he didn't know Gus Van Sant ... but it obviously before Will Hunting
(also I didn't know GVS is gay ... but I don't care)
Lol, dude hit him with the “we got the most famous gay musician on the show so… you’re dumb!”
@@KaosKrusher Remember this was before Google and the internet.
When this happened he only did three movies, with My Own Private Idaho being his most recent and only a festival hit at the time.
Did Elton John really rock the house or did he just say that to prove a point???
"to be honest with you there are alot of gay guest on this show but it ain't none of yo damn business that they're gay" 💥
This is the most important thing he said! Some gay people care too much about the representation and look of gay people. Being gay shouldn’t be a fad or a trend. But some of them use it as a “im special card” I’m not discriminating! Just pointing that out
Remember the era. It wouldn’t have been right for Arsenio to out them at the time.
I mean we black people do it all the time. When a marginalize group has been beaten down for so long and things are finally starting to turn around. There are going to be people who see their difference as a uniqueness. For example “I’m black and I’m proud” and things of that nature. Hell even BLM became a damn trend.
@@solowarrior1145as a bi
male I do not find that discriminatory in the least. Agree 100%
"It's alot of gay people on the show, but it's none of your business that they are gay!" Enough said. I miss the show.
i would disagree because these are the celebrities that younger ppl look up to.. and the average person tries to emulate their style/wardrobe/mannerisms etc.. now, if id emulate someone like Diddy, Biggie, Dr Dre, Aaron Hernandez, tyrese gibson etc.. id like to know that i wont be emulating a homosexual.. those guys play the role of an alpha, but in reality.....
@@ynoter being gay shouldn't be a selling point, though. you should like them for their personality, not their sexuality unless you want to like them just for that. sometimes being gay is something people want to hide.
now, sexuality is talked about a lot...but still, it shouldn't control everything.
That's up to the celebrity not up to arsenio
IF I HAD MY IWN TV SHOW, A GAY PERSON WOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED TO BE A JANITOR
@Zo Kay i said "IF"..
but alot of ppl emulate them because they think its cool and think that what ever they wear, how they talk, etc.. is "in" nowadays.. and if you rocking what these famous celebs are rocking your sex appeal points skyrocket in the dating marketplace.. thatss why you see the typical "fuckboy" wear skinny jeans and some of them with dyed hair..
Arsenio stood his ground respectfully.. Nobody in Hollywood would attempt to do this today with the exception of Dave Chappelle
Yeah Dave Chappelle dont give af 😂
Dave is a real one at all times.
Chappelle is the GOAT
Dave got cloned
Jonathan Encarnacion facts
I love how the audience is backing him up. Makes it more powerful!!
They're riled up to do that, and the situation was staged.
@@peterwhitey4992 saying stuff like that means you’re part of the problem
FOR REAL MAN
Yeah I but if the Crowd doesn't back u like they probably wouldn't today, It wouldn't make it even less powerful, bcuz it would take more heart!
@@marqueematthews4949 there would be those fair share of brave people that would say I agree, whether it was on social media or in the crowd
Arsenio stood up for gay people, black people, himself, comedy, his show, his guests, and his audience. Men like him are in very short supply these days.
When Arsenio started walking up those stairs I think everyone knew it was about to get real
Hahahahaah, yeah you could feel it.
Couldn't be any faker
@@thebaddog4104 You must be one of those types that think everything is fake.
You can tell from his mannerisms, that this was real and not fake only even a blind man could see Arsenio was pissed off.
He did an interview with DJ vlad, Arsenio said he is still angry about it.
Shit did you know he had death threats, and yet niggaz like you say it's fake get out of here with that nonsense.

@@thegroovemachine5003 is there any footage?
Yup because they wanna stay gay
C H if was a set up!!!
I remember this vividly. He did not run from any issue. His show was ahead of his time.
“You better chill” “let’s move on” 😂😂just two of the many iconic lines I took from this video
Arsenio totally defended his show and himself at all cost.
Pine Barron Dude how do you know it was staged
@Pine Barron Dude Serious question: how old were you when this episode aired?
@Pine Barron Dude you have a point it could be staged who knows I mean it is called Tel-lie-vision for a reason and everything that we see is all an illusion... it look real to me... but that's just a part of the illusion to make it look real🤣😃😉
Pine Barron Dude you can’t put security on folks who just want to voice a opinion and think about how bad it will look to Arsenio himself and the show plus the network if someone is not allowed to voice opinion.
@Pine Barron Dude Lol silly liberals
When you check your recommended and find this after 12 years
Same here I wonder why?
Bro... I’m in the fukn bathroom like... when the f did this happen
Yeah me too...how strange.
@@youresowitty8973 right? Watch the comments on this vid show up on some liberal show talking about how big a haters we are
This is why the Arsenio Hall show will be the Greatest Talk show of all time
These gay hecklers don't realize just how hard it was for Arsenio, as a black human in the USA, to even have his own late night show.
Now imagine what it's like for black and gay
@@ElevatedEssentials201 being black is the issue. The gay movement has the nerve to compare and borrow from black peoples issues all the time. It’s no different than the Womens movement. Black and gay people don’t even see that they are being used just like black women were used when white women were fighting their own white men. Black and gay are still black first and so for a black man to have his own show is more impactful than some gay hecklers being disruptive when it comes to black and gay.
Right now in 2024 we have no black late night shows on none all white
@@ericmagee5998I say we demand Arsenio back we need him in this day and age
@@charlotte241000 It still blows my mind to this day that a group of racist Caucasians from the LGBTQ community interrupted this man’s show to complain about inequality. The irony of it is unbelievable.

PREACH!!!!!
Truth! Thank you, sir!
And, he let the idiots stay.
@@rodneyforston7661 🤣 right...he should of called security
I loved how he said "We had Elton John here and he rocked the house". You can't get any gayer than Elton John. If you're gonna protest someone you really ought to do some research first.
killboggins: LMAO ! You are spot on with that one !
@@venus_envy Exactly, Elton has done a lot of this kind of stuff.
Elton is a very good boi: archive.is/DjBTb
What are you talking about?, he was referring to the fact Elton John is gay.
Libtards don't do research. They just protest whatever their Jewish handlers tell them to
Now this is a grown ass man.
They have no idea what it took for Hall to even get on late night tv as a black man. They barked up the wrong tree that day.
He had the decency to actually interact with them. Props to him.
Staged. Scripted.
@@garrettlees Can you not read body language and temperament? This is obviously not planned. Mr. Hall is pissed and shaken, but he still handles it.
@@tametz Nonsense. He handles it like a woman, not a man. A real man doesn't act like that. He's a paid actor doing a script. A real man who engages in debate destroys his adversary through steely cold slicing logic and reason, not through an emotional outburst and tantrum. Watch you no Jesse Lee?
@
This gay organization would send out members to various places to "act up", something done in the 80's and 90's to force conversation about gay inclusion. So, yeah. It was a setup, but not by the show.
@@garrettlees
Seriously? " A real man" ..."destroys his adversary"... this is ridiculous talk . A man can react how he wants and needs to, not based on some standard "script" dictated by testosterone! Please, don't buy into this current trend in "alpha and beta male" thinking. Masculinity is not on trial here, except in your mind. Come on, bro. Be better than that.
"This is my show"
That is the correct answer to people who think they have a say in other people's business…
Liberals, especially liberal politicans think they have a say who you should hire and how you run your business and tax you for their advice
He’s like Oprah and Obama - brown on the outside white corporate shrill on the inside.
Wow! he’s a corporate shrill - it’s not his show. If it was his show he wouldn’t have a show - period.
This interjection has courage and historic merit as it did much to propel gay rights. It brought the issue fairly and squarely center stage where, apparently the host could never do it.
It sure touched a nerve with the host.
The cult audience goes down in US history for the world to witness too: it goes down as loud gullible frenzied - unthinking, not independent, sheeple
Sadly, today if Arsenio had told Queer Nation "This is my show" in the midst of toxic cancel culture....Arsenio would not HAVE a show afterwards. Sad!
Blucifer
Genuine host don’t get corporate contracts
YES
It wouldn’t be HIS show today to snap back at Queer Nation - HE’D BE AXED!
AND
It wasn’t HIS show then to showcase gay issues - HE’D BE AXED!
.. by his private corporate owners
Blucifer
“ THIS IS MY SHOW “ He’s delivering FAKE messaging otherwise known as lies.
He’s an egotist with a deluded wanta-be audience - he got a network contract because he knows his place and can keep the slavery workplace and consumer culture (the network advertisers) - in tact with superficial entertainment and without question.
JUST LIKE:
ELLEN DEGENERES
BILL MAHER
JOHN OLIVIA
STEVEN COBERT
STEPH MYERS...
I dare say people watching late nite after serving the transnationals all day haven’t even a glue of the truth tellers who are very much around but who never sold out.
The corporate host shrills have a field to play in but it certainly has an electric fence.
The bottom line is the network - SIX CORPORATIONS CONSPIRE TO CONTROL 90% OF USA MEDIA:
GE, News Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS
Don’t confuse independent liberals (humanitarians) who have helped changed societal bigotry against gays and other matters as the make or break of a night show host: the host has a capitalist right wing boss who has has no morals, just profit motives to self and shareholders.
BTW don’t confuse good liberals with those carrying water for the Democrats. (see my incomplete list of show hosts)
On that I’ll agree with you.
He made all those white girls holler! Damn, Arsenio.
Word 💯
4:16 they used 🚂 whistle curse word censors back then 😂
I miss it a little...😂
Loosen up bitch and in enjoy it

Yeah but then trains got offended then they had to switch it to beeps.
The train noise had me dying . They need to bring those sound effects back
I loved how Arsenio Hall was really honest and took no crap.
God bless you Karen! :)
"I know Elton John. He's been here and he ROCKED THE HOUSE." That was good.
Go off karen!
he was talking about a lot of people in the industry, peep how he said none of your business😬 industry is very much like this still today💯
"I'm not goin' run from it, I'm goin' deal with it."-Arsenio Hall. He's too cool.

@@TheCaveman46 - Madam, please do not use the sexual references that dominate your thinking as descriptors when responding to my superior level. It's clear that your androgenic (and potentially transsexual) nature overwhelms your rational interactions within this medium, ...but allows for no excuse in its execution.
Again, Madam, ...restrain your desires for my attentions, as they are, overall, quite unattractive.
That WAS the 90s. "Pretend that shit didn't exist."
People make mistakes and to be human is too error. Cant wait for coming to America 2
I'm a bisexual woman, and I agree with everything Arsenio said. Props to him.
the fact that Paul Hogan was just sitting back there listening when all this was going on 😂😂😂😂 poor guy
Too bad the entertainment industry has no backbone like this anymore.
Did you intend the pun regarding backbone? 😂😂
Too bad Arsenio doesn't have the backbone or brains to admit that mocking gay people on national television in the 90's puts them at risk of physical and verbal harm. He's perpetuating the problem
Buzzkill 808 Raven what? The only ones to blame for violence are those that committed it.
@@buzzkill808raven2 that's mocking huh. The fact that you think his response was mocking him is the damn problem....Soft as charmin.
spawnjg The only cases of physical violence that I personally know of against gay people, involved them aggressively seducing straight people. That is openly hitting on uninterested people and then implying prejudice when their advances were spurned. Another occasion was of a gay person walking around dressed up in clothing that did not cover their private areas properly. In other words exhibiting themselves in public where even children were in sight. In those cases the gay men were thrashed by members of the public, but that’s in Africa, where justice can often be handed unexpectedly and swiftly.
Protestors: why don’t you have any gay guests?!
Arsenio’s guests: RuPaul, Elton John, Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, etc...
@R M and so many other guests that you wouldn't even know that were gay
blocka blocka RIGHT
👍🎆
Even Johnny Carson had Liberace as a guest.
R M it was staged and they're all occult hollyweird sell outs
As a black gay man, I’m all for it.
This was the era of your business is “your business” now everyone today needs to scream every intimate detail of their lives to strangers lol
some of my closest friends, some I grew up with, some work with some family, and you wouldn't know it unless you asked them. I think this "look at me" generation gay and straight start this stuff just for attention. And now that attention can be monetized so extreme groups with groups make their groups look bad. Like as a black man, I hate to see other black men do stupid things and set back the true movement for equality.
I love how he already knew how to defend himself.

I never heard Arsenio Hall so upset. He always display a positive vibe. I'm glad he said f*ck you.
He said nothing wrong he's right. Need more people like this.
Someone's sexuality isn't anyone's business. I wish people would be more considerate and understanding of that.
"Staged" huh...?
You kids are clueless.
Maybe people wouldn't give such a shit if folks didn't discriminate against them for sexuality.

@@yourfairyking That's not an excuse to be a bigot, sorry.
@@yourfairyking It sounds like you're projecting your own biased motives as to why people would be proud of their sexuality.
About time a title about “going off” is actual accurate.
Preach that
First time ever
For real 👍
this title should be "goes the fuck off" lol jeez
And it's actually an understatement.
This was not staged Arsenio was angry as we’ve never seen him before also Offended .
I love how the audience cheered and applauded for him.
Arsenio verbally burnt them alive as well he should have, they we're very rude and got what they deserved 💯
That's prolly not a good metaphor
Iron Sphinx they we’re very rude and extra gay. They got what they deserve alright
yeah, and then fast forward to the future where Arsenic resurfaces with a new show and he shows that he is controlled by the LGBT machine. he had an episode where he and loon Tom Arnold did promoted the LGBT agenda on some scripted dialogue shit. and it was all for nothing because after he delivered his message on embracing all things homosexual, his new show went caput anyways. SMH
put foot in some a - - 🤣🤣

@@tryhardf844 I don't think this was staged. Arsenio was always live. And if it was staged, it could have gone south and the media at the time would have chewed him up and fans turn their backs. Why would he gamble his popularity like that?
When he said "This ain't Merv you didn't think I'd run from this did you?" I knew right then it was about to get REAL. I remember watching it live and was like DAMN!
If the internet had existed at the beginning of the 90's, this episode would've became the most talked about in talk show history
FACTS
first of all the internet exist in the 90's secondly the internet was slow in the 90's bcuz back then it was dial up with AOL so no that's not true at all and back in those days everything went by word of mouth and magazines so it was already "the most talked about in talk show history" even back in it's time.
installing the internet took 2 days with a floppy disk or CD rom
@@jenniferlaynemusic inaccurate not facts kid
this type of comment is how u can spot a kid that was born in the 2000's. also computers exist in the 90's so have the internet it just wasn't as fast and instant as it is today.
When Arsenio said “you didn’t think I was going to run from this?” I knew everything that came after that was going to be special 😂
People thought this was a put on back when, like those people from queer nation are plants. I don't know honestly...
@@sleazyfellow I would say those were real protesters but there is really no way of knowing.
Funny, I thought the exact opposite. I just didn't know where he could go. He's either had gay guests or he hasn't. He can't, or shouldn't "out" anybody and it really would be indelicate to tick off names if he had had gay guests. When he pivoted to race I knew he had nothing.
I'm not saying that he lost the argument tho. While on the spot, and being blind-sided, he would have had to: think whether his guests were gay or not, and then, think whether they were open about it, and then, think whether or not they would mind being dragged into the argument. Too much. It's also quite possible that he doesn't know, or care, whether his guests are gay or not and only mentioned Elton John because he's so unabashedly flagrant. He easily came to mind.
@@sleazyfellow
You know, you could be right, but if it was all scripted, Arsenio did a damn good job of making it look 100% legit -and I'm still learning toward it being legit... That, or Mr. Hall needs an Oscar for "best actor!" 😂

"activist"

2 things, one this isnt about being a gay activist but rather a misinformed one.
Two, If you think you cant call out a misinformed activist, then YOURE the pussy.

They all went home like well that backfired 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah, they went home crying and boo-hooing
This was probably one of the last times someone was able to stand up and refute this type of thinking on national television without being “canceled or ridiculed”. One of the last times also that the audience also could see the stupidity of those dudes argument. Nowadays no one will say anything or simply disagree for fear 🤦🏾♂️
i couldnt say it any better!! Thank you 😉
People used to want to be known for their talent not their personal life.
Rabid Pepe
.... So TRUE!
Say it again for the quote on quote "Clout chasers"
great point!
The problem now is identity politics has become too much of how careers are made or broken today thanks to having to be celebrities on social media platforms. When you have infinite options for entertainment thanks to the Internet, you can no longer afford to alienate a single viewer.
LOL that's how celebrities got away with nonsense behind the scenes.
Society rewards talent and accomplishments before being a decent person, and a person's sins can be washed away with time and "good behavior"
People have always been up to nonsense, and others eager to take them down whether or not they deserved it. The good old days would have you killed for attempting the latter, but people tried anyway.
He put him in his place without being disrespectful.
This is like when people would get mad at straight actors playing lgbt+ roles but no one cares when a lgbt+ actors plays a straight role
I agree with what was said, But straight people aren't the ones that have been oppressed because of their sexuality.
Arty_ Curiosity It’s a Double standard though like how alot of actors do white-face in some roles there is no scrutiny whatsoever. So if there is a history of oppression in regards to a group respectfully nobody should be acting it out and the race or group to which someone belongs to shouldn’t give them the advantage of doing what other races can’t
Good call.
@@fishy9465 I bet it's real oppressing when a straight guy pretends to be gay. If anything it opens the doors up to gay being okay. Nobody is going to pretend to be gay if they thought it was gross or didn't agree with it in some way. Real homophobic shit is making a big deal about it.
*newsflash* im gay. no one cares if straight men share a kiss on screen. Bill Hader in Skeleton Twins for example. It's common and bothers nobody but the people you must argue with on Twitter.
somebody needs to say it: his outfit is amazing 😳
I would rock that suit!
Going after a comedian is probably not the best idea. They deal with this shit all day.
"This ain't Merv, you didn't think I was going to run from this." Lmao. You got to love some privileged gay white men trying to bully the only black late night tv show host. I remember watching this back in the day.

Same ol big red
@@renatopalma9074 Maybe because other talk show hosts had gay guests like Johnny Carson did. I believe Merv had some too. Don't know why he went after Arsenio since I really didn't watch his show unless he has a guest I was interested in watching - just like any other talk show. Also, just making a comment like that doesn't make a person privileged unless the dictionary changed the meaning of the word. They were idiot's and Arsenio didn't deserve this and he put them in their place but good.

“If you want to book it, get yourself a show”. You said it, Arsenio. I’ve been hearing the word gay since the 90s and never knew anything about it at that time because I was a child. Although I’m not gay (because I like women) and I’ll never will be, I’m a avid supporter of the LGBTQ community and continued to do so 100%
Thank you for your support, means a lot to us in the lgbtq community.
I'm also a straight ally of that community and I couldn't agree with you more. The members of Queer Nation who tried to hijack that episode were dead wrong.

I love how the audience back him up. Arsenio and the 90s audience were about that life!
See...even in 1991 Arsenio knew that sexual preferences and proclivities and whatnot was irrelevant. Just because they aren't flaming gay and "proudly" gay, doesn't mean he hasn't had gays on his show. The problem is, they didn't have to come on the show and be all "Hi. I'm gay!"
Even in 1991 Arsenio knew. Light years ahead of the times.
Actually this was December 14,1990.Almost 1991.
They were clearly trying to gaslight Hall to make him look like a "bigot" and they failed big time.
First they slandered him for exclusion, then they slandered him for mocking the gays as a comedic routine.
Truth. I miss when we could be honest without being afraid of offending.
Live without fear and do it
Most of us miss when we could offend without caring whether or not if it made others feel afraid.
So you just want to offend without deal with the consequences?
@@blackbird5787 No, I don't live to offend folks. It's just that some in society loved it when they could treat male gays like shit and get away with it...
@@BigBlackRod Nobody has the right to not be offended. Besides, since when does being gay fucking matter. It's no more a component of character than how tall you are or the color of your skin. NOBODY CARES!!!!
I take it we're all here because this got recommended to us
The algorithm is trying to save us but sadly we all already understand the lesson.
No, we searched it up, you snowflake.....fuckwit.
@@dankdreamz People should know this already!
😂😂😂 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ idk why but CZcams be up to something

Before Dave Chappelle, there was Arsenio
Word 💯
1:06 - 1:09
"In fact, he rocked the house so much that during his performance, it took the entire staff (with the exception of the house band, the camera men, the director, and the man (Arsenio Hall) himself, of course) to go outside and hold it in place so that it wouldn't tip over."
Just a joke I made up at the spur of the moment, folks! Seriously, I love Arsenio for what he did and said that night. No holds barred, in your face, and to the point.
The lesson was this: Arsenio had gay people on his show based on MERIT (their talents, WHAT they could do) and NOT SIMPLY BECAUSE they were gay (WHO they do).
Yeah.. today the values are so screwed up. If your gay and talented, fine whatever that's good, you do you. But if your gay and untalented you still get in somewhere because your gay or a minority, black, white, whatever, that's just racist and sexist. People need to value people for who they are in morals, not in what they are. It feels like we are taking a step backward anymore.
Exactly!
@hello therr The marriage comment has merit, but there are people all over the world getting killed for their life choices. Let's not pretend that's exclusive to gay people.
By those rules though, Arsenio should have *anyone/everyone* on his show, because everyone in life regardless of who they are will encounter _some_ form of prejudice either by gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, politics, religion, age, nationality etc etc.
Arsenio's point, as an entertainer, was to provide entertaining guests. Do something requiring talent, like Elton John, and he'd have you on the show.
@@Swordmaster7th morally homosexuality is wrong. I get your point tho
Whoop! Whoop!
He was asked why he never had gay guests. He had plenty of gay guests, they just didn’t go around advertising that they were gay, it is nobody’s damn business! Elton John always rocks the house !
My respect for his man is beyond limits. His reaction was absolutely perfect and he is VERY gutsy for being this honest.
He walked up them steps looking like neno brown
Lol
That's when everyone knew shit was getting real! He didn't hesitate to let people know what time it was.
I felt his righteous anger as he spoke, now from 20 odd years ago
30!
In 2019 they would have immediately cancelled Arsenio and gave them dudes a reality show.
"Gave them dudes a talk show" Most likely LOL
The way thjngs are now, they would of labeled his response as a hate speech and probably sue him for something stupid
No cause hes black
This is probably the reason why his show was cancelled in the first place, because of the gay mafia.
@@Slickpaparazzo I just thought about that, I always thought it was because he brought Farrakhan on the show.
I love how Arsenio destroyed the little punk, thinking he’s privileged to tell him how to run his show
This is exactly what Chappelle was talking about
I wish the truth was loud and clear like this today.
You mean the truth that Arsenio mocking gay people in his act significantly increases their chances of being physically and verbally assaulted?
He has never called anyone to violence against gays or even made jokes about them being murdered so blaming him or any comedian for that is ludicrous. I don't know where you are getting your statistics from. Everyone gets made fun of by comedians and people need to learn to laugh at themselves and not get so damn offended. I'm a ginger and comedians talk about how we swallow people souls. Like he said makes fun of tons of people. Everyone needs to lighten up.
@@impressme7991 It's ludicrous that you don't easily see the very real-world negative effects that a nationally televised talk show host mocking gay people has on that already heavily ostracized community.
And they should be ostracized. That lifestyle is filthy and disgusting however comedians make jokes and usually there's a bit of Truth around the joke but it's not demeaning and hurtful unless you want to take it that way. you decide how you feel and respond to what somebody says about you. Gay people are so accepted nowadays. Comedians mock tons of different people and you don't see everyone else going out there crying saying that their life is torn apart because of what some comedian said or that they want to commit suicide because of what a comedian said. If you're not happy with yourself and your lifestyle that's because of you. Do you hear about gingers out there killing themselves because people say that we don't have souls? Or that we are creepy and ugly. Remember the joke I'll beat you like a redheaded stepchild? it doesn't hurt my feelings because I know who I am and I don't care what other people think about me. However if you're a sodomite maybe you should feel bad about your life and who you are sexually. I have a brother that's gay and I think it's disgusting and he knows it. Now if comedians are making fun of the way they talk, or their body language so what? you can usually pick out a homosexual because they all sound like they went to the same school on how to act like a fairy. if the comedian is saying they should hang themselves or something horrible like that then no I don't agree with that, it's not funny.
Impress Me We now live in an era in which individuality and intelligence is suppressed, and ignorance/stupidity is encouraged. How fucking insane is that? Makes me so fucking pissed knowing that this is the reality.
They don’t make em like this anymore
'They dont stage em like this anymore*
"Loosen up and enjoy it"
I luv that
They censored it. He clearly said “loosen up your asshole” 😂
I'm pansexual and I absolutely love this. Hell yes, put them in their place
And this what Dave Chappelle been saying people can't take a joke
Exactly
Chappelle doesn't know what a joke is. Insulting people isn't a joke. Here's comedy, completely improv, completely clean and doesn't insult people, back when you needed to have talent: czcams.com/video/dGorCSnIHF4/video.html
@@duncreg you sound like a jackass. Comedians are supposed to be edgy, not politically correct, and pushing people buttons in a humorous way. The way you talk about comedians is like they are supposed to be boring. You say this b.s. about Dave, but won't say shit about Amy Schumer. You are a racist that's trying to bring down the black man.
@@duncreg So your humor is suck in the 60's? Says a lot.
The gays joke about themselves past excess.
They beat everyone to the punch.
CZcams Algo: “It’s time...”
R Trev tell the truth! I heard you if no one else did. The art of the resurface.
I want to like this but it’s at 69 so I’m keeping it there
Lmfaoooo
Ikr....wtf
Lmao how tf this come up on my recommendations
I love the train noise bleeps 😂🚂
LOL, me 2, 4:13.
"... But when you do a gay joke I have idiots here protesting"
Tell that to Dave Chapelle
So he should invite someone on soley because they're gay? To promote their gayness?
Right, smh
Hahah yes. They just want to push the gay agenda and make everyone GAY!!! Hahah right !
@@RavenMaven a bunch of ignorant people. They need to be careful about their agenda it will come back to bite harder.
@@RavenMaven THEY DO,IF YOUR STRAIGHT YOUR LOOKED DOWN UPON,THATS HOW PERVERSE SOCIETY HAS BECOME.
@@jasonchandler2463 It ain't that far yet but they're trying to press it. That's a fucking fact.
His initial reaction with them really tells you the character of Arseno. They where clearly inturputing his show but he took the time to actually address them and listen, even before things got heated. Go back and watch.. He politely said "I am sorry I can't hear you man" he really was a man for the people. That's why his show was such a success.
Great point
I wish he would come back with a new show! 😊
@@notmebutyou8350 He did for a while 10 years ago. If it lasted another 5 years i'd agree with you.
I remember this episode that night it aired & Arsenio is absolutely right, it's none of our business who's gay or not & I remember the night Elton John came on the show he'd absolutely rocked the house that night! Whoever those people were who interrupted the show that night, they should have stayed home or sat down & shut up and enjoyed the show & kept their personal beliefs to themselves!
This reminds me so much of what's going on right now with Dave Chappelle.
It's amazing how fragile the LGBTQ community is
Agreed. Fortunately they can’t cancel Chappelle because you can’t cancel someone that once canceled himself (turned down 60 million to do season 3 of Chappelle Show because they tried putting him a dress) Chappelle gives 0 fucks.
“It’s a joke man loosen up and enjoy it” wish more people had this attitude
Nah. Too many people today think that they excuse anything they say, with it being a joke.
@@peterwhitey4992 or you can’t take it.
You mean like WHITE PEOPLE who get mad when a black person says something you don't like hypocrite
@@peterwhitey4992 eh, it's a 50/50 thing. You can't always assume it's just people being offensive for the sake of offensiveness. Some people do make some offensive jokes, but it's always for some dark punch line.
Arsenio showed him what time it is!
Being an angry gay person, doesn't always make you right
Have ya seen a Trump rally? Listened to aggrieved, victimized right wingers who are enraged about everything?
@@JimmyT132 seek help youre one of those people who feel the need to validate their insecurities by constantly repeating it to themselves
I really miss his show, the man has some balls on him.
This is a perfect example on how Freedom of Speech should be used. We have to learn to stand up for our beliefs and our stance on certain topics, whether they are right or wrong. We must learn to do it without disrespecting them for what they believe in. Arsenio came at them directly and brutally honest, but he wasn't trying to slam somebody.
