Comedian riffs on audience comment from @rayjlau

A stand-up comedian on stage compliments an audience member's beard, and the audience member responds by saying 'clip that.' The comedian then uses this comment as a jumping-off point for a bit, explaining that the interaction isn't funny enough to be a viral clip and coaching the audience member on how to be more outrageous and 'clip-worthy' by suggesting he say something racist, which the comedian then acts out for comedic effect.
