Payback time for Phillies' tase boy
Montco teen Steve Consalvi evens the score on 'Tosh.O'
Payback time for Phillies’ tase boy
David Hiltbrand, Inquirer TV Critic
Steve Consalvi, the Montco teen who was tasered for running on the field during a Phillies’ game, got his revenge last night. Comedically at least.
Consalvi was the subject of a “Web Redemption” segment on Tuesday night’s Tosh.O. Comedian and show host Daniel Tosh will bring on someone who has gained widespread notoriety in an internet clip. Then he goofs on their dubious viral exploits. (The entire show will be available Wednesday morning online at http://tosh.comedycentral.com.)
In Consalvi’s case, Tosh framed it as a sketch in which he is in the same holding tank with the tasered teen. (In reality, Consalvi was put on probation with 80 hours of community service.)
After they are sprung, Tosh takes him to a fleabag motel for a jocular interview about the incident (See video of the actual tasing below).
Consalvi recalls that it was Dollar Dog Night at Citizens Park and that he had taken full advantage of the promotion.
“Hold on,” says Tosh. “You had five hot dogs in you and you still ran like the wind. That’s incredible.”
During their talk Consalvi is wearing the same National League Champions T-shirt that he had on that night, still showing the blood stain where the taser gun hit him.
At the end, Tosh gives the teen a chance to pursue and taser a policeman (well, a guy in a policeman’s uniform anyway).
Interestingly Consalvi revealed that he is not prohibited from the park and in fact has been back for a game.
“Did you even consider storming the field again to let them know they can’t break your spirit,” Tosh asks.
No glutton for punishment, tase boy laughs and says “No.”

You know that rule about how explaining jokes ruins them? Yeah...follow the rules.— Douggernaut
Why treat him like a celebrity? What a joke!— wylies99- They should tase him again, just for GP, lol!— gmuny2002
- Other than the conclusion of Game 5 of the 2008 World Series, watching that punk kid get tased was the greatest thing that has ever happened in the short history of Citizens Bank Park. Have you noticed that people running onto the field dropped off considerably after this event? Hmmm— mjc1
- At least Daniel Tosh was funny.— sillybilly
- my favorite part of the whole story: he was sober.— birdfannnj
- I remember when we used to give more press to soldiers who fought for their country more than we did to idiot internet "sensations."— HTownInTheHouse
This kid is a complete DOPE! He should not receive any attention and should get back to flipping burgers at his local McDonalds. LOSER!!!!- Unfortunately, this idiot's actions have been glorified. The other students at his high school treated him like a hero. Now Tosh.O. continues to give positive reinforcement to an illegal and disruptive act. Next time, get rid of the overweight security (Phila Police) and hire private security who have to be fast and strong. Grab the idiot, put him in jail and don't make them a hero.— TheHammer
- I would pay to see this idiot tased again. Next time aim lower.— Bob1
- What this genius fails to understand is that he is perpetuating this event on the net so that HR Departments will find even more info about his bad judgement as he applies for jobs down the line. Or he could just run for the senate - would not matter there!— jmtwhq
- This will be the reason the next idiot heads out on the field for some guard- and cop-eluding until Tased.— PhillySubsMac
- The cops were WRONG! No taser, bullets!— bbk713
- The segment wasn't even funny.
-not bob levy— remyy
