He addressed the audience, saying, “San Antonio…Thank you. And yes, y’all got some big b*tches here,” which earned him an enthusiastic response of cheers and laughter. Despite being booed upon taking the stage, Barkley managed to charm the crowd and deliver one of his classic jokes about the city’s women. His history with the women of San Antonio dates back nearly two decades, including remarks about their size and humorous comparisons to those in Houston. He has joked about various topics, including churros, Weight Watchers, and Victoria’s Secret, often at their expense.
While many in San Antonio seem to appreciate the humor, others have not always embraced the ribbing. A few years ago, Barkley nearly retired this bit after expressing frustration with his employers for trying to eliminate it from his act, attributing their sensitivity to “cancel culture.” However, Barkley has ensured that the joke will endure, continuing to poke fun at the city’s women during his appearances.
