Pete Davidson hurls insults at college crowd during stand-up gig in Florida as he mocks students for using phones: ‘You’re all f***ing retarded!’
Pete Davidson was not pleased with the crowd during a stand-up gig at the University of Central Florida on Monday night.
The 25-year-old comedian took umbrage with students cell phone usage during his show at the Addition Financial Arena and proceeded to hurl insults at the packed event in Orlando.
Pete screamed at the ’embarrassing’ audience and said ‘you’re all f***ing retarded’ for using phones during his set, but TMZ reported that ‘there weren’t any signs posted about cell phone use’ during the show.

‘Give them their money back because I don’t give a f***,’ he began his tirade, which was expertly caught on video from the back of the room.
‘Whenever somebody else comes to your f***ing town and wants to perform and is exhausted and flies all the way to the middle of f***ing nowhere to do jokes for you … privileged little assholes. Don’t f***ing ruin the show for people who actually want to be here.’
It seemed the Saturday Night Live funnyman was not happy that someone in the audience was using their phone.

‘Don’t clap please because half of you did it,’ he said. ‘That’s what’s f***ed up. That’s why we’re embarrassing … that’s why the world is going to end in 25 years, because you’re all f***ing retarded! I meant it that way, idiots.’
Before continuing on with his verbal abuse, he urged the college students to ‘grow up’ and said some mysterious platform told the kids that there were ‘no phones’ allowed during the show.
‘You’re supposed to just, like, behave,’ he said. ‘I have to have my f***ing boy patrol you guys like you’re five years old. That’s f***ing embarrassing. You should grow up.’

To add even more insult to injury, the comedian — who is just one year shy of the average age of a college student, according to the National Center for Education Statistics — mocked his own generation.
‘Don’t you want adults to respect us? Don’t you want your parents to be, like, proud of you? Do you know how f***ing embarrassing it is to be our age and walk out and know everyone thinks you’re a fucking idiot? grow the f*** up,’ he said.
Pete’s set to return to his NBC gig later this year and recently wrapped an as-yet untitled project with Judd Apatow.
He famously dated and became engaged to Ariana Grande after months of a relationship during the summer of 2018, only for their engagement to come to an end in October.
Shortly after, he was spotted out and about with Kate Beckinsale for a few months, but the couple split earlier this year.
