Don’t you want to play whack-a-mole with this Weasel?

Yep, it’s true. According to Odessa police, as reported by TMZ.com, Pauly’s on-stage assault in the Lone Star State was just a hoax, presumably engineered to glean some much-needed publicity for a comedian who, let’s face it, has never actually been funny:

The Odessa, Texas Police Department claims that an officer “had met with Mr. Shore prior to his set, and was asked to participate in the skit. The officer stated that the skit went as designed and that Shore was not injured in the designed skit.”

While of course I’m disappointed to have been hoodwinked by The Weasel, of all people, this new revelation just makes the story all the stranger. What did Pauly hope to accomplish with his little prank? And did he really think no one would find out?

Don’t know, don’t care. All I know is that, intentionally or otherwise, Pauly has now created a deep-seated desire among people the world over to see someone land a giant ham-hock fist squarely in his face. The people will not rest until they get their due. Who will rise to the challenge?

If you had asked me back in 1992, following my viewing of the breathtaking piece of filmmaking that is “Encino Man,” whether there would ever come a day when I would not want to see Pauly Shore get punched in the face, I would have said no.

No hesitation, no need to think about it — because, really, what’s not to love about watching somebody pop “the Weasel” in the schnozz?

Well, actually…a lot, if you watch this video from a recent standup performance in the thriving metropolis of Odessa, Texas. Shore gets heckled by an audience member, tells the guy to f– off…and then gets hassled by the rest of the audience for trying to keep the crowd under control so he can continue with his show. One member of said crowd — a guy in a cowboy hat who looks as though he ate two Paulies for lunch, with a side order of Carrot Top — then climbs onstage (unimpeded by the Odessa comedy club’s crack security squad) and, baited by the audience, proceeds to deck the scrawny comedian.

Ouch. I never thought I’d wind up on the same side of the fence as a guy who has annoyed the crap out of me for years…but that’s messed up, right there. The video has already been removed from multiple sites, so check it out now while you still can.

And then say a little prayer for the Weez.
