This research looks at how speech partners react to language impoliteness in five YouTube podcast videos. The research data in a descriptive qualitative framework are authentic or natural in the form of spoken conversations between presenters and guest stars that include impoliteness responses. The five titles of Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube podcast videos served as the data source. The research method consists of note-taking and orthographic transcription, both of which employ a free-competence technique. The method of data analysis used was pragmatic and contextual matching. The research's findings reveal three types of responses from speech partners when confronted with language impoliteness. There are several representative variations in each of the response categories. The basis of distinguishing elements is primarily concerned with variations. Offensive countering is a response variation in which the speaker responds with curses as an expression of annoyance, ignores, or dismisses the speech partner. Defensive countering defines one's position in interactions by considering innocence, seeing oneself as distinct from others (more important than others), and demonstrating an action that places oneself in a safe situation. Face attack response attempts to accept impolite acts, confirm the speech partner's accusations, and work out solutions with the speech partner.
