Noun: Mainly used to designate a loudmouth punk in any kind of audience. Usually drunk, almost inevitable at comedy clubs. Stand-up comics \ comedians \ and other performers generally hate when they happen --- although they can be viciously eviscerated with fast, ready wit. When a comic shuts a heckler down quickly, the comic's status goes WAY up, fast. If they flail and fail against them, it can end the set.

Verb: heckle To loudly interrupt a performance with insults, or just incoherent babbling.

In social media and other forums of expression - the anticipated 'flame war' or flood of extra negative comments can prevent a person from sharing something they wish to share. That is a Heckler's Suppression.

Louis CK shut the heckler down slowly. Clearly enjoying the chance to unload the kind of insults that would make Don Rickles vomit and run away. He took her to pieces. It was a thing of inestimable beauty. A master class of shutting a drunk punk way, way down, and keeping the audience increasingly entertained. These smashed amateurs need to stay away, but it is great when you get to watch them get belittled into a tiny wad of insignificance that the rest of the set blows far away.

Michael Richards admitted that his response to the disruptive heckler was way over the line.

Heckler

Hater & judge. Not the same as a critic though. They are disrespectful half breads that feel everyone has to live by their opinions. Most of them 18-30+old, either live in theirs mothers/family's home still to feed off the maternal tit. Have no direction, lack stature and morals in human behavior.

(How to handle a bitch Heckler)
Female Comic: I was walking threw Jersey the other day and....
Heckler(yells threw the crowd): You suck, your a nothing, and a nobody, your a hag, you blow for Judas for duckets!
Female comic: Do people like you ever shut the fuck up? Your daddy was begging me to suck his dick offering 5G's while yo' momma was bent over gettin' a dirty sanchez from my agent punk. Who's the nobody? Get the fuck oudda here. Were you the guy, in that movie one time, where the group was yelling "squeal like a pig boy?" You can't handle this truth. That's why you hide behind your website opinions. BTW didn't you pay to see this show?
Heckler: (bows his head in shame when she gets done with him. The crowd laughs as he slowly cowers out of the building)
