Mitch Hedberg: I Wish They Made Fajita Cologne | Late Night with Conan O’Brien
/ teamcoco - Komedie
If Mitch was on Twitter:
"Why are so many people following me? Please go around."
This is wildly underrated
OMG, that's so accurate and brilliant!
I so read that in his voice, especially the "go around"
nailed it
I tried to go to Target, but I missed.
I used to love Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to too.
UPVOTE this man!
Off to the very top of this comment section you go!!
"Escolator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."
Nice
Noice
His face, his cadence, that smile, that hair, his demeanour, the original style, shuffling around awkwardly - what a wonderful entertainer.
High as fuck...
out of this world
@@Christosan88truly inimitable style. People throw around words like original, one of a kind, unique etc. all the time but there are few comedians where that applies as well as it does to Mitch. Only other one with such a distinct style is probably Bo Burnham.
You can still identify a common theme across Bo’s work. But Mitch…it was just so random lol.
@@noumanintownI’ll have to check out Bo Burnham. I know the name but not his work. Mitch is my all time favorite comedian.
He wasn't intoxicated, just toxicated.
Hedberg was fascinating. Driven to perform yet suffered from incredible stagefright. And so, so, so simplistically funny. Few comedians have had his level of delivery.
Does he really? That's respectable
@@Mistyvoices yep ,note he's always looking down at the stage ,"hiding" behind his hair in his face and wearing shades.
I read something somewhere he didn't like to fixate on a face in the crowd,it made it too personal to him.
I think he even said somewhere that he would feel more comfortable if he could perform with his back turned.
@@MrTheHillfolk a lot of times he’d perform with his eyes closed.
he had a way of taking normal stuff and rewording it so it was hilarious, with absolute minimal setup.
@@stayawayfromhere1 That's a spot-on assessment, and what made him so brilliant as a comedian.
When a joke bombed, Mitch would often say, "That joke will be fixed. I'm going to take out some words and put some better words in. Maybe even some funny ones." He was brilliant.
"We're gonna take that joke off the CD. Or we'll leave it in, but add some laughter to the end of it. That way, everyone except the people who are here tonight will think it was funny. Only you will know the truth."
"We are gonna sweeten some of these for the CD. Sweeten is a showbiz term for "add sugar to"
One of the best to ever grace the mic
I read this in his voice lol
Because it's not very good
My favorite part about mitch is it always seems like hes trying every joke out for the first time lol
legit haha. he really does
I think he may have been nervous here.
He's so nervous but his delivery is so good he's SO HIGH
Huelogy
Yeah, shame he didn’t just stay with weed though....could’ve still been alive.
@@XI_Daisy_XI too true, addiction sucks!!
This was my late wife’s favorite comedian to listen to on long road trips. I can still hear her laughter after each joke he delivers with his unique, delivery/timing. I miss her, and I miss Mitch too. ❤
Bless you Sweetie, I can feel how much you love her still. May your heart be flooded with many many happy memories of her, always❤
My late husband loved his stuff...I think it was a comedy central special (maybe it was hbo, not sure) that he rewatched over and over! It reminds me of better times for sure!
My wife died of Down syndrome. I feel that
My x-wife liked him too.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"I Like cottage cheese so I wanna try other dwellings cheeses too" is one of the most clever, well worded, and underrated jokes ever. Holy crap that is good!!
And I hadn't heard that one! A new Mitch joke! Delightful.
But for me as a non native english speaker makes very little sense :(
@@guiguspi Cheese is a dairy product we consume.
@@CommunityCareCollege I think understand the concept of cheese, mate. Is the "cottage cheese", "dwelling cheese", "studio apartment cheese", "iglu cheese", "mobile home cheese" part, that seems like it contains a pun I missed.
I google it, and seems like the word "cottage" also means a simple house on a lake or beach, and "dwelling" means house/accomodation.
@Byrons Reward After the funnyman response over there, I 'arsed' mylself into googling it, and ended up understanding the pun, yes.
“I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've travelled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down”
Paul James whoa. did he really
@KARENA LIN /Whoooosh
I have a map of the United States. It's at a scale of one mile equals one mile. Maybe you've seen it.
@@randykintzley5923 I have the largest sea shell collection. It's scattered across all the beaches of the world
I love the map joke and the hotel room joke with the pen across the room. 2 of my Mitch Favorites.
"I write jokes for a living, I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that's funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen is too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny."
I think of this joke often when talking about writing.
@@Stop_The_Car Samesies.
😆😆
lol I loved the way his mind worked.
🤣😂💀
His childlike innocence is incredible.
The Mr. Scholl's joke broke the audience
“Next thing you know, I have to build a go kart with my ex-landlord!” One of my favorite Mitch jokes 😂
It's so true though! Dreams are bonkers. Last night I was waiting for a friend to arrive on a flight, but the next thing I know I'm on an outbound plane on the tarmac, and I realize I shouldn't be on the plane, so I run up to the front and get off of it - the doors are just like a city bus, so I exit the plane and walk back to the gate.
So good
@@dustintravis8791 you ruined it by talking
@@joeturtleneck2300 I have a knack for doing that
Mine too
“I like rice. Rice is great when you’re hungry and want 2,000 of something”. RIP Mitch
🙏🙏🙏
Wait HE DIED?
Brandon Diaz yes
@@radicallybean Yeah? Speedball O.D. in back in 2005....
Mitch is ALWAYS so nervous about how the crowd reacts, and when he kills it’s always like he’s surprised. That’s so endearing.
Also drugs
@@jaredf6205 Unfortunately, you're right. By that point, he was knee-deep in heroin. That's why his hand's shaking, unlike his first appearance. It's even worse by the time he gets to his last Letterman appearance. Watch his first Conan and Letterman appearances; no shaking.
@@strats991 I don't really know about the drugs, but he always had stage fright. That's why he was always sorta looking away from the audience.
@@jaredf6205 Another 💩 post by those whom never met the man
@@ZeroMass how is it a shitpost if he's correct. You dont need to personally know someone to know they're a known druggy tf.
You can tell Mitch was so uncomfortable but he still got up there. That's bravery
He was high.
@@vafleurHa ha ha ha I was gonna say Mitch Hedberg was stoned as fuck when he got back up on that stage
@@seanm7539heroin
Poor fella was brilliant. He didn't need drugs. Wish he realised that before it was too late
@@chrisbaybay7326 Sad clown paradox
In a time when every comedian is telling stories, sometimes it's refreshing to hear actual jokes.
the jokes dwell within the stories. Mitch is a legend nodoubt, yet this is simple laffy taffy style jokes. a fully fleshed out line up of thought with jokes built in seems to be more satisfying.
@@buddy_loveNah, you've just got a not great sense of humor.
"I"m cocky and I also believe in reincarnation. When I go to a museum, I say, 'I might have made that.'
The innocence, randomness, and twists made his jokes golden. He’s forever missed
It’s great that we can watch him whenever we want ☺️
He's about as unfunny as Theo Von
Aye Aye - Blasphemy!
RIP My dudes. So sad with him and Greg Geraldo both leaving so early.
Aye Aye speaking ill of a dead man on his own video... very classy of you. Really speaks to your character.
I love the "Mr. Scholl" joke so much. It's the perfect Mitch Hedberg joke and always makes me laugh. RIP
I would have bought them from a mr sholls😂😂
Mitch’s style of comedy would have made him the most popular Twitter user to ever exist. RIP to the legend.
I thought that about Steven Wright too. I was so excited, thought Twitter was the perfect medium for him. Steven Wright tweets about as often as he releases an album or a special.
@@colerieger7300 Cuz he knows the internet is a cesspool.
Definitely, even when Twitter was appropriately limited to 124 characters.
Extra characters plus video posts was the last nail in the coffin.
I cannot think of his last name but there’s a comedian named Theo ( something) and he tells one liners just like this.
@@oneday5572Theo Von? The mullet guy?
"I didn't lose a leg in Vietnam just so I can serve hot dogs to teenagers."
"You have both your legs."
"Like I said: I did not lose a leg in Vietnam."
I use that one a lot!
Daniel Skrivan 70s show..noice!
@@timothygraham4304 me too. People hate me for doing that but they can't stop me
Daniel Skrivan I’m so glad someone commented this
Omg!😂😂😂
you ever notice how none of Mitch's routines ever feel long enough?
there's never enough...
Always keep them wanting more.
Heroin, Artie Lange couldn't believe Mitch could do jokes let alone any portion of his Act
There was never enough of him and it was a gift we wasted before he was taken.
That's because his type of comedy is making you wonder where he's going with a joke; so you're always wondering what's next.
@allergic2thinking That may be some edgy way to say you feel he committed suicide or some judgement about substance abuse but it is irrelevant that he was never half as popular when he was alive and your disrespectful way of turning phrase for effect had the opposite effect of response that you expected. I hope in the future you get better info before accusing of self elimination. It is a weak mind that attempts to make laugh at someone with a pointed finger instead of a shugged shoulder. Also consider that this is how he will be remembered and these comments may be the only thing we remember of you...just think more please.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing him in person 3 times. No one else could tell a bad jokes so good.
😆😂🤣👍You're so right..such dumb jokes..and he cracks you the fk up...
UNIQUE HE WAS👍
That’s a really nice sentiment 🙂 he really did seem to be a positive force in the world
"Cheese dwellings" killed me. I thought I knew all the mitch hedberg-isms
LOL I was just telling my husband I had not heard that one before and will now be using it!
An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs
"escalator temporarily stairs...sorry for the convenience."
Oh, they can absolutely break. And it's terrifying.
It bugged me when Demitri Martin stole this joke.
China has proven they can indeed break.
@@brianmchaney7473 Are you referring to elevators? Or did you actually mean escalaters?
"I had a fake plant but it died because I did not pretend to water it"
Almost "liked" this comment but didn't want to mess up the "123" likes. Haha.
"...I had a parrot and it was a talking parrot, but it did not say 'I'm hungry', so it died..."
Every few years I listen to this guys entire range of material.
Man, he was the absolute best comedian I've ever heard. Super charming guy who could bring you to tears laughing with the most inoffensive material possible.
This belt and belt loop joke is one of the most genius observational comedy bits
Oh and I love the donut joke
That's my favorite Mitch joke 😊
Had one of the most unique deliveries...no one else like him.
Hannibal Burress has some similar deliveries.
Stephen Wright is very similar in style / format but obviously not the same just very close IMO.
@@timehawk2874 Stephen Wright is definitely similar, far more dry and slow paced though, and pre-dates Mitch for sure.
@@JeffWarren47 No
Milton Jones (UK) is similar ish
It's incredible to me that an honest to god Mitch Hedberg standup set was posted in 2020
Isn't the internet an incredible thing? Seriously we're so lucky to live in these times 🥰
I was talking about Mitch a couple nights ago. The algorithm must have heard me. You're welcome.
he was genius
Catherine The Cool Mom super facts
And it’s still hilarious and relevant lol
His first public performance on Comedy Central was amazing. No one there understood his humor until about halfway through (he was bombing hard), at which point he won them over. It’s funny because he never changed a thing about how he performs comedy, and his act was so successful because he is charming enough to just win you over! And then and only then do you see the sheer genius in it all.
That’s when I first saw him!! I fell in love with his style in that moment. He was so quirky and refreshing.
It is extremely difficult to stand out in the entertainment industry. Your guitar sound. Your style of painting. Your poetry. In comedy, this cat was One Of A Kind. Impossible to copy. Timeless. Bravo, Mitch. Doing Standup in Heaven.
"I heard a gunshot outside my apartment the other night. Then I saw two guys run past my window. I was gonna call the police, but then I got optimistic and said, 'hey maybe it's just a race'.
I’ve never heard this one. Funny
@@RetroPillowcase It's a Demitri Martin joke unless perhaps Demitri boosted it from Hedburg. Though I have watched a good amount of Hedburg and never heard that joke from him.
@@chasegreen1145 weird Martin is similar but more prop. Not really so many non sequiturs
A classic
@@chasegreen1145 Mitch tells it in a stand up from 1995! It's at 2:10 of czcams.com/video/e8DKsCi3LIo/video.html
“I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it”
Came here to quote this one. Bless you💕✨
Everyone try to keep this at 420
He’s so painfully nervous but he’s easily one of the best comedians of all time. RIP
Guy was a genius, I love how he slowly wins the crowds over.
“A severed foot makes a perfect stocking stuffer”
I read a few people in the comments who never heard of Mitch. Remember how awesome it was to discover his magic for the first time? They are in for a treat.
yeah. some of us were fans when he was alive even.
Those lucky bastards
Absolutely
I'm one of those people, shouldn't have watched I have a cold though. Constantly coughing from laughing too hard.
I'm one of them, I mean I've heard of him but never acutally saw any of his material before.
I already love his weird energy and delivery, gotta go binge watch some more!
Mitch Hedberg was one of the greatest standup comics of all time. I was so lucky to see him live just a few months before he died. He simply slayed, 1500 people rolling on the floor laughing helplessly.
He was one of my favorites. Always loved his material. Some people couldn't get his jokes but I found them all absolutely hilarious. One of the best! RIP Mitch.
I was a comic with Mitch in the late 1990’s. He was a friend of mine. He was always very kind and generous to me.
We did a comedy competition together. He did his trademark deadpan delivery. And I had this super goofy high energy, physical delivery.
One night of the competition I scored higher than Mitch. And he walked up to me and said ‘Damn I got beat by a hip thrust.’
Awwww I can hear him saying that
Hahaha this was a hilarious story!
Sick lol
Lol a hip thrust? Very mitch
Haha makes me think of when Norm MacDonald lost on Star Search to 'Bushman'
I saw a wino eating grapes. I was like, "dude, you have to wait."
haha never heard that one
Thats one of favorite jokes of Mitch!
Zennofobic - me neither, and I thought I’ve watched a lot of his videos. Dude was a comedy machine. Even the one’s I’ve heard 100 times never get old bec his delivery alone is hilarious
Conan looks young, and Mitch looks.........alive. Such a tragic loss to the world of comedy and to all the people in his life. Rest in.
Mitch makes me laugh like no one else. Such a childish, brilliant humor
"I'm sick of chasing after my dreams, I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with them later"
"I can't wait for my show to end because I got a roll of lifesavers in my pocket and the next flavors pineapple"
😭✨🥰
Priceless.
It's "because I got a roll of lifesavers in my pocket and pineapple is next."
But yes another gold joke
"When the jokes dont work just pick up the bass a little, Chuck"
He was an amazing talent. I love his delivery. Watching him now is so bittersweet-- sweet because he was so talented, bitter because he left us way too soon.
"Alcoholism, the only disease you get yelled at for having"
RIP Mitch
Dammit Patinaz you have Lupus!
Alcoholism is not a disease because no forced you to drink. Mitch was never funny.
winston smith depression isn’t a disease cause no one tells u to be depressed

@@trikkerman1 please post a link to your standup.
"I was in a band. People either loved us or they hated us, or, they thought we were ok."
THAT is my personal MH favorite. Top 10 of all jokes by all comedians.
"Some bands are heavy and have intense names like Mortuary or Obituary. We weren't that intense, we just went with Injured."
Brilliant. Always boggled my mind how a shy guy went into comedy.
Conan and Dave always did a great job of spotlighting and supporting comedians. Loved that!
Im gonna make a 365 day calender where each day is a Mitch Hedberg one liner.
There's no way that idea fails
Great idea! I am going to make an Amy Schumer calender, where every day is one of her funny jokes.
But it probably won't sell too well, because everyone would be stuck on January first for the whole damn year.
I'ld buy that

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
What's picketing!!? Genuinely asking .
@@sammudila8113 - Picketing is a form of protest where people carry signs criticizing government, businesses/employers---anything, really. Example of Picketing: czcams.com/video/i0_3ZsrC6pQ/video.html
Sam Mudila you should genuinely go to google.com
@@sammudila8113 real questions are being asked now...
Picketing is protesting only instead of saying this sucks, we grab baseball bats and say THEY SUCK... and its basically when everybody hates their boss all at once. With signs. And baseball bats.
I always get uncontrolled laughter when listening to Mitch Hedberg.
Wow. Heard about this guy through Norm and other comedians, but I never checked him out. His delivery is so awkward yet so amazing. What a legend!
Mitch was a comedic genius, it's a shame we lost him so young.
He dead?
@@waqqashanafi Yeah, about six months after this was originally on air.
@@chadderton Dayum
How old were you when you lost him?
(the style of that response was by way of a little tribute to the great man himself😎👍🏻)
Agreed, I was only 5
" I used to do drugs, I still do but I used to too".
Cracks me up every time lol
Every damn time. 🤣
Mitch was amazing. I don’t know if anyone has ever been such a dry….obvious comedic genius…
RIP
Steven Wright is even more deadpan in his delivery of those sly, and wry, observations. Got famous in the '80s, much more than most comics. But, his delivery is much flatter. Mitch has/had a much more playful delivery, comparatively.
First heard Mitch and thought: Oh, he's like Steven Wright. But, Mitch's fun nature won me over and I can watch tons of clips of Mitch vs getting a bit bored with Steven. [Not to slag on Steven. It's just my preference. I mean: Steven's got some classics, too. The way he delivers: "Why do we drive on a parkway, but park on a driveway?"]
Emo Philips is another one-off comedian with true comedy in his bones, but Mitch is the absolute best
A genuinely witty and affable comic. RIP Mitch Hedberg.
The man that made me a loyal member of the sandwich club.
How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?
Grand Admiral Thrawn I’m for ‘em.
Keep on keepin on, barfy
I also like three pieces of bread. I'm for it!!
I was kicked out, I wanted alfalfa sprouts =(
I’ve heard all these jokes maybe 10 times and I die laughing every single time
It never gets old man, I love it.
You have more lives than a cat!
Me too! Donut receipt!
I just heard of him and these jokes for the first time (after hearing Artie Lange mention his name) and I'm lying here in bed giggling like a schoolgirl. I had no idea what to expect but his style and content is exactly what I needed.
If you died laughing how'd you listen to all the jokes a 2nd time. Unless you resurected, and then did the thing that killed you in the first place, like 10 times over man
How great to stumble onto this clip just before bedtime and laugh myself to sleep. Mitch is missed.
I love when he gets rolling and he starts laughing at his own jokes
"When someone is trying to hand me a flyer - it's kind of like they are saying 'Here - you throw this away!'
that's still one of my faves. i wish he had more time with us.

🤣
Rice is great when you want a million of something. Lol. ❤️
Man I was sad to hear when he passed. Back in the early 2000s my band and I were traveling to gigs up and down the east coast and I swear all we listened to were his shows on CD. We knew almost all of his jokes verbatim and it never got old. Best of times and best of laughs. Thanks Mitch.
such a beautiful soul and funny in his own creation , im so glad i got to grow up with people like him , in my life , we love and miss you Mr . Hedberg !!!!
"I had a job interview, and the lady asked, Where do you see yourself in 5 years, I said, Celebrating the 5th year anniversary of you asking me this question." LOL!
Lol, how did that work out?
that's was the best one in this comment section
"I use tarter control toothpaste. I still got tarter, but shit's under control."
My gf gave me a piece of care-free gum,but I was still stressed out....
RIP 🪦 Mitch Hedberg. You brought so much laughter into peoples lives while you were on this earth 🌍.
Simple yet satisfying❤ RIP to one of the most underrated comedians that ever lived💙
"Hedberg suffered from stage fright throughout his career; he often performed in sunglasses, with his head down and his hair in his face or his eyes closed, and sometimes stood upstage or with his back to the audience, constantly moving in place. At times, he nervously shook his microphone unconsciously." -from Wikipedia.
Found this after noticing his mic shaking! I love this: it makes him more relatable.
Almost like Jim Morrison. He used to sing with his back to the audience.
And yet they still went up there and performed.
Also all the heroin..
@@kenworthNH yeah, like for a month or two
He starts to look more at the audience after a few minutes in this performance. It's like he gained some momentum and relaxed just slightly.
He had flaws and it made him more human. And when he'd built up a momentum, he figured out what worked best and went with that flow of energy. He was brilliant.
Someone handed me a picture and said here's a picture of me when I was younger.
Every picture of you is you when you were younger.
RIP Mitch
TerryTibbs
That was a good one.
let me see that camera
"ain't it about time someone said that?"
not necessarily, what if you time travelled and got a picture of yourself when you are older?
I found out about Mitch way too late! What a comedy genius!!
Not one cuss word and he was absolutely hilarious!! How rare is that on its own?
There were a few curse words in there sometimes, but only as adjectives, never a noun ; )
Mitch is one of my favorite comedians. His jokes and tone of voice are in perfect balance.
The Mr. Scholl joke was peak Mitch Hedberg.
“Mr. Pib is the bullshit replica of Dr. Pepper because dude didnt even get his degree. Why’d you drop out and start making pop so soon?” 😂
Sorry, but peak Mitch Hedberg is “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
Belt loops was tops. And "used to do drugs". And "every photo of you is when you were younger". Actually, probably most of his jokes.
@@riyanazhar3341 lmao!, one of my favorite jokes by him. Dudes style was a little "unconventional" to say the least, but he was a genius.
@Kurt Swiger - right on!
"When I was a kid I use to sleep in a twin size bed and wonder where my brother was"
RIP Mitch
I don't know any kings but if I did, I have a bed to fit his exact specifications.
The joke with the king sized bed is great too.
@@ronmer I didn't know you guys were all the same size
A king, you say? You will not believe what I have in store for you.
His jokes are sometimes just downright silly, but the way he delivers them somehow makes them very funny
I still quote this man at least once a week. Absolute favorite.
I remember seeing him on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien". But I also remember seeing him at the store.
He was probably buying 2000 of something.
Or maybe turkey pastrami

Did he buy club sandwiches all the time? Even though he wasn't a member?
@@zadescrivner Club sandwiches with studio apartment cheese.
This guy would've killed it on twitter
He's original, unlike ur comment
Thx Joe Rogan
Mark Clipper true
Because social media is the only avenue to entertainment success. Too bad one of the most highly respected and original comedians who inspired everyone he worked with and was met with super-stardom would have been so much more if he just had Twitter.
@@thriller985 go sell crack to ur bruthaz n sistaz.or shoot some of them.
Hearing the crowd warm up to Mitch is always amazing to me. By the end he’s won everyone over.
I saw Mitch live on his last tour. It was the only time I paid to go see a comedian live. Still consider it one of the best decisions Ive made. I feel very lucky to have witnessed his genius before his untimely passing.
I like it when enough time passes for his jokes to be funny again. I forget just enough for it to seem new
There’s so many jokes of his in a single set and in a single track that you lose count, that’s why
Forget everything you know about Mitch
Did it work?
@@jackwilkie176 so I did
And it was a load off my mind
Who's the guy telling jokes?
Im a new comedian and my style was inspired by Mitch Hedberg.Check out my first 2 Open Mics and comment.
So like 5 minutes?
I like refried beans but I'd like to try fried beans because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time.
Listen to the crowd, at the start they don’t know what to do with Mitch’s humour. Mid point they start to realise he’s actually good. By the end they come to understand they’re in the presence of greatness.
Been watching him since he was still around and im still finding new stuff of his here/there. Always gold RIP Mitch
About a year before he passed, I saw him at the Addison Improv. We went to the 11p show. He was so drunk by then, he did most of his set laying on his back. But he still killed it.
Whoa, so funny to see this comment! I was at that show too. Mitch slumped down against the brick wall and just mumbled into the mic for a while, almost out of it, and was still hilarious.

Mitch was the best. So glad I got to see him live twice. R.I.P Mr. Hedberg
There is nothing that makes me giggle as much as when Mitch cracks himself up for a minute...
His belt/belt loop conundrum just gave me an existential crisis.
One holds vertical and the horizontal...... it's a metaphor of team work
Fo real
I think it was Jim Gaffigan who took it a step further and brought suspenders into the equation, but I was high so I don't remember.
pretty sure the belt is the real hero. If you took away the loops and tightened the belt, it'd still stay up
@@bananadog5813 Was just about to say this 😂
I saw him live at the Punchline in SF. Probably the funnest and funniest show I ever saw. Everyone was cracking up. I nearly died of laughter. I wish he was still around today. I always think “wish I didn’t see Rickey on the street” when I need to honk while driving. 🥺😅
It’s all in the delivery. No one else can do it like Mitch.
I have tried to tell his jokes to my wife and other friends... falls so terribly flat every time
"I want to get some business cards. Not because I own my own business, but because I want to win some lunches... The cards will say Mitch Hedberg: Potential lunch winner. Gimme a call. We'll have lunch... If I'm lucky."
- Mitch Hedberg
Never heard that one, that's hilarious!! Hahaha
lol
When I moved, I bought a box of business cards with my new address on them. They also say “Potential lunch winner.” Thanks, Mitch.
It’s funny…These jokes people are posting aren’t funny until you “hear” them with Mitch’s delivery
Lol! Thats awesome!
man I get so sad to think he died at 37 alone in a hotel room. I wish I could just hug him and tell him how much hes missed and loved. He made the world a better place.
I remember when it happened. He was supposed to be on the 98 Rock Morning Show in Baltimore, but he didn't show up. The DJs knew his cell number, so they gave him a call to make sure he was okay, and his wife answered. They barely got a word in before she told them to call his manager and hung up. They called again, left a message telling him they hoped everything was okay. I guess the producer called Mitch's manager and got the news, because the DJs told us, the listeners, the bad news a short time later.
@@trackrick Pretty sure he died in a hotel room in Jersey. So he would have had to have been calling into the show.
@@jagrokt I saw that after looking him up on Wikipedia last night. It definitely makes the most sense that it was going to be a call-in. After 17 years, this old man's memory is getting soft about the details!
The thing that makes a man that off the charts funny is the same thing that will kill him. Not much you can do to stop it.
@@jj4483love no. Drugs don't magically make someone funny or talented. It's just something that a lot of funny and talented people suffer from. If they did, you could go to Austin texas and just walk around to hear the best jokes in the world.
He was my favorite. So brilliant. I pull up these videos from time to time when I need my mood lifted. He is so missed.
One of a king Comedian that will be missed for sure. We all need Hedberg Jokes nowadays.
I wanna be a racecar passenger. I wanna be a dude that just bugs the driver. "Hey can you slow down? Can I turn the radio on? Man, you really like Tide."
Why do we keep going in circles?
