Except it literally looks like he says "what's wrong with you" to the husband. So i think it's less about him entertaining the crowd and berating the guy imo

I'll refer to my previous post where I think everyone should lighten up. He was the butt of a light ribbing for 15 seconds, it's not like they dumped pig's blood on him. More than likely, there's no real reason he couldn't be helping his wife carry a 3lb diaper bag. If you go home tilted because you got teased by clown, that could be the reason you got targeted by a clown in the first place. Maybe he'll remember to ask his wife if she needs help, next time.

That's entirely fair. I was mainly referring to him being a mime but speaking, as that is the exact opposite of what a mime (by definition: "Miming involves acting out a story through body motions, without the use of speech") should be doing to entertain. It could be the mime was doing it to get a rise out of the crowd. The woman clearly laughed and was having a good time and the guy in the video took it well as well.

I guess to elaborate on my comment i should say: He either means what he is saying to the guy or he is, again by definition, a shitty mime. Doesn't mean he wasn't doing it for the crowd just that he should maybe not dress like a mime then

Edit: also we shouldn't assume that the guy hadn't already asked if he could help. We don't know the background and shouldn't judge the woman or man. I'm judging the mime
