Yeah, there are a number of stories about gigs that he played where half the audience walked out because of his attitude/what he said.

What makes that clip even funnier is Bill's reaction when he subsequently gets heckled by a guy in the audience - and defends his right to do it!!

Incidently, I notice no comments from "Goat Boy" (another one of Bill's characters, like MJ)

My favourite sketch is where he asks the audience if any of them work in advertising or marketing - and then advises them to kill themselves.

I think there's a bit of Goat Boy in all of us...

That's why he's so good; he's angry, passionate about what he believes in and is so danm funny with it.
