Kramer Goes on Racist Tirade at the Laugh Factory

Michael Richards at the Laugh Factory

Seinfeld's oh-so-funny Michael Richards left a crowd full of fans silent as he walked off stage Friday night at the Laugh Factory down on the Sunset strip. Kyle Doss was at the show with 25 other friends when he started to heckle Richards, saying "You're not funny".

The cellphone-camera/handycam starts rolling as soon as Richards screams "Fifty years ago we'd have you hanging upside-down with a fork in your ass," then continuing "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherfucker! Throw his ass out, he's a nigger, he's a nigger! He's a nigger!" And he didn't even say it in a funny way (if there even is a way). It was definitely meant to be vicious and intimidating to the heckler and his friends (who by the way managed to keep their composure).

The crowd responds by yelling "That was uncalled for!" and such, as many start to get up and leave in disgust. Richards then states, "They are going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger?" followed by "Is this too much for you people to handle?"

He then dropped the mic and proceeded to walk off stage. You can check out the video for yourself here on TMZ.

Richards will probably be checking into the same rehab clinic as Mel Gibson.
