San Antonio Crowd Stuns Comedian Randy Feltface With Their H-E-B Obsession in Viral Instagram Video
San Antonio, TX – April 1, 2025 — A viral Instagram video featuring internationally acclaimed comedian Randy Feltface has racked up over 1 million views, all thanks to an unexpected moment involving San Antonio’s beloved grocery store: H-E-B.
During his October 2024 stop at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club in San Antonio, Randy—best known for his appearances on Netflix, NBC’s Bring The Funny, and comedy festivals around the world—found himself in the middle of a full-on Texas moment that left him utterly bewildered.
In the now-viral clip, Randy asks an audience member the classic crowd work question: “What do you do for a job?” The audience member casually replies, “I work at H-E-B.”
That simple response was met with an unexpected eruption of cheers, claps, and chants from the crowd.
Caught completely off-guard, Randy—clearly puzzled—blinks a few times and blurts out: “What… is happening?” The crowd then began chanting “H-E-B! H-E-B!” like they were at a playoff game.
The caption on the video, posted to Randy’s Instagram, reads: “I’m STILL confused.”
The Power of H-E-B in the Lone Star State
Randy, a purple puppet with a sharp wit and nearly two decades of stage experience, has performed in front of sold-out crowds around the world and even received a nomination for Best Comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. But according to the video, nothing could have prepared him for the love Texans have for their local grocery chain.
Later in the set, Randy dove deeper into the phenomenon, highlighting how H-E-B stepped up for its community during the devastating winter snowstorm, providing food, essentials, and care for neighbors in need. He was genuinely impressed—but still admitted to being stunned by the crowd’s reaction.
“I’ve never heard this kind of enthusiasm for a grocery store,” he said. “Texans are the only crowd in the world that get this hyped up about a supermarket.”
Fans Can’t Get Enough
Despite the confusion, the moment has only added to Randy’s cult-favorite status. With seven comedy specials, dozens of solo shows, and a loyal global fanbase, the incident marks yet another unforgettable chapter in his unique and hilarious career.
And as San Antonians know all too well: We do love our H-E-B.
