George Lopez and a woman who attended his stand-up show had a bit of a standoff in the middle of his routine when she apparently disagreed with the sentiment of one of his jokes at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix.
"There"s still two rules in the f**king Latino family," Lopez joked. "Don"t marry somebody black, and don"t park in front of our house."
But one woman in the audience didn"t seem to agree with the sentiment and responded by flipped him off.
That just prompted Lopez to launch into a tirade filled with profanity her way. "Sit your f**king a** down. I"m talking b***h. Sit your f**king a** down," Lopez shouted. "You paid to see a show. Sit your a** down. You can"t take a joke, you"re in the wrong motherf**king place."
