This joke is so funny…but I’m just so relieved that you are smart enough to know the difference between “to” and “too”, because most of these idiots on here would have tried to write this and they would’ve screwed it up royally.
I don't know man, I could easily see Mitch telling Steven's joke about driving his house around. Both of them really are pure comic geniuses...too bad Mitch left us so soon.
Saw Steven live once. It was a great show. He opened by walking out on stage and picked up a guitar. With the spotlight on him, he saw the shine off the guitar move around the audience, and said "that's weird, it didn't do that in the store...". Set the guitar back down, and never touched it again the entire set.
When I saw him he came out to a stool and glass of water on the stool.......He picked up the glass, took a drink, then repeatedly set the glass halfway on/off the stool's edge and couldn't get it to stay. So he raised the glass, grabbed the stool, slid it under the raised glass, then set the glass down and said "Good Evening".........lmao.
"There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot." Brilliant on so many levels. The fine line is the fishing line, literally.
I've been that idiot. In a chartered boat too. The difference was $1500 and 4 barf bags. which we used for chum. we had shrimp for bait. when we got back, we had bait scampi
My favorite Steve Wright joke was, “If you kill a mime, do you need to use a silencer?” My favorite Mitch Hedburg joke was, “I would lay in my twin bed at night and wonder where my brother was.” Both hilarious!
I remember Steven Wright's standup in the 80's and I find him just as funny now as then. Mitch Hedburg I recall on "The 70's Show" and as the stoner Frank who ran "The Hub". "I didn't lose a leg in Vietnam to so I can serve some hot dogs to teenagers". "You have both of your legs Frank". "I know, I did NOT lose a leg in Vietnam". So funny.
Two of my all time faves. I once met Steven Wright in an airport. I asked him for his autograph. He asked me my name and signed it “To ____ Happy Birthday forever”
My favorite Steven Wright joke is: “You know when you're sitting on a chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs and you lean too far so you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time...”
I always lament all the material we're missing since Mitch's life was so tragically cut short. I really would've loved to see what he gave us next. Rip Mitch thanks for making my early 20s filled with comedy gold, we miss you.
I love their surreal, deadpan humor. They approach the world in such a skewed way: both even have jokes about gravity in this compilation. Hedberg was an authentically nervous version of his true self on stage, whereas Wright seems more like he's adopted a comic persona. You can see Wright sometimes fighting to not break character by chuckling at his jokes, whereas Hedberg openly laughs at his own material.
I saw Stephen live in the early 90's. His live show was NOTHING like any of his specials or recorded shows that I've ever heard or seen anywhere else. And IT. WAS. AMAZING.
Every single time I get a receipt, I think "No need to bring ink and paper into this transaction." And every time I'm given a flyer, receipt, or junk mail, I think "Here, YOU throw this away."
Steven Wright will always win in my book for his deadpan, monotone delivery. "One time I...No, that wasn't me." They didn't use this one, it's my all-time Steven Wright favorite line
Two of my favorite Steven Wright bits. "When I was a kid we had a quicksand box in our bacckyard. I was an only child. Eventually." "The other day I got on the bus and sat next to a blonde chinese girl. She was crying so I asked her what was wrong. She said I have a problem and my therpist can't help me. I said maybe I can help, what's the problem? She said I'm a nymphomaniac but I am only attracted to jewish cowboys. By the way my name is Karen. I said hi Karen my name is Bucky Goldstien."
*_Great video! BTW, this is my favorite Mitch Hedberg one-liner:_* *"Often, people will show you a photo of themselves & say, 'This is me when I was younger.'. EVERY photo you see of someone is when they were younger."* _It's such a simple statement... yet it's also brilliant & funny. RIP Mitch Hedberg. You're irreplaceable, sir._
Steven and Mitch: Two of the greatest ever to pick up a mic. I was so fortunate to see Mitch in concert just a few months before his untimely passing. Favorite Steven joke: I wrote a song, but I can’t read music, so I don’t know what it is. Every once in a while I’ll be listening to the radio and I say, “I think I might have written that.” Favorite Mitch joke: I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, "Dude, you have to wait."
I said this joke once while brewing a pot of coffee for the household and nobody got the funny and started to disect, analyze and like a gang of chimps trying to operate a computer attacked me demanding an explanation! 😳 Well I'm waiting 🤔🧐🤨
I never thought to juxtapose these two together like this! Whoever came up with the idea for this video should get a lot of credit. Awesome, both comedians.🤣
His delivery is often the exact same. Mitch has a bunch of vocal cadence fluctuation in his. Would be harder to replicate mitch's delivery. I'm Steven is great too but mitch of like on his own level
Steven's delivery seems forced. Trying to enunciate a lot while trying to act like it is incidental mumbling. It just doesn't work. His jokes are often good.
One of my favorites was missing. "I lived in an apartment, I used to like to play my music real loud, my neighbor did not like that I did this, so he would bang on the wall, so I would turn down my music and yell, go around, there might be a door on your side but it is just a wall over here..." Mitch Hedberg
I’ve been a long time Steven Wright fan but some of Mitch’s jokes are hilarious in their silliness. The broken escalator one, and raising money to buy a machine that shows how much money has been raised, for example.
@Jim Cheseborough I don't even think he is under discovered. There is an MLB pitcher who has the same name. I was watching a game and Wright came on to pitch. The broadcasters told everyone to say their favorite Steven Wright joke. All of the broadcasters contributed. Camera operators, coaches, and more. That is just one example. He's very well known.
Not everyone gets Steven Wright. His jokes aren't as obvious as those of other comedians. So, if you're one of the many who do get him but have friends who don't, you still might feel like he's underappreciated, if not underrated.
Steven Wrights jokes always next level, you can even hear when the audience retells the joke in their head real fast then start laughing. The “large seashell collection scattered along all the oceans.”
“Seashell collection” has always been my favorite example of Wright's material. It, IMO, perfectly epitomizes his style. I first heard it at one of his performances in the 80s, and, just as you describe it, there was that slight delay followed by illumination, a mini-epiphany. Experiencing his performance was a pure pleasure.
One of the great things about Mitch was his behavior outside of the one-liners. His laughter--at his own joke--was infectious, and sometimes drew more laughs (of delight) from the audience than the joke itself. He would plead with the audience to like him more, and then show gratitude when they responded. He was magic.
@@matthewoboyle6010The double tree hotel had a meeting about what to call its hotels; it was quite short. Tree. No. Double Tree. Hell yeah! I can't tell you what hotel I am staying at, but I can say there are two trees involved.
I still miss Mitch! Saw him shortly before he was lost to us, I will treasure that great time with an audience that appreciated him like I did. It was like hanging out with friends. 💞
Steven wright is fantastic but I think it’s not about one joke with him, it’s about the trippy deadpan experience of mind expanding jokes that just keep coming. There’s a building momentum with Wright.
I loved Mitch in that 70's show "I did not lose a leg in Vietnam for this" Eric but you have both legs Mitch "That's what I said I did not lose a leg in Vietnam "
Pollock was a terrible artist his art was so low effort tries so little yet he's wildly successful because he was the first to put painting on a canvas that way don't lower these two great men with Pollock
I grew up listening to Steven Wright, laughing at times, till I cried. Listening to Mitch Hedburg, I sometimes cry until I can’t breathe. These guys are a danger to my health.
Stephen Wright made me laugh so hard my drink was coming out of my nose. I lost my car keys. That’s when you get your apartment started and drive around the block
My favorite/most quoted lines from each of these guys is most definitely the "I used to do drugs...I still do...but I used to too" from Mitch and, "I sprayed some spot remover on my dog the other day and he disappeared" from Steven....with close runners up being the sock thickness, and the hippopotamus 😜🤘
These two are/were absolute artisans at this particular style, and what's great is that if you were to listen to the album of one, you do not more or less get the same experience as you would listening to the other. Hedberg's was far more fun, like something you could tell at a party to make quick friends, whereas Wright's style is far more cerebral and abstract. The biggest difference ultimately would be when they do self-effacing humor - Hedberg made himself out as an underdog during those times (like he was bombing at another show), whereas Wright made himself sound like an alien who attempted to interact with human beings slightly before it was ready.
My two favorite Wright jokes are the one about everything in his apartment being replaced with an exact replicable and the seashell collection. Two collections of verbal statements that evoke whole surreal worlds. Absolutely evocative.
It's really funny to listen to these legends and how their comedy/mannerisms and even...jokes...have trickled down to Comedians today. I can hear a lot of Tom Segura, Chris D'Elia, Bert and even Rogan in there. Absolute pioneers.
I used to love Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to too.

A Wright joke that stuck with me was “Why is it a penny for your thoughts but you can also put your two cents in? Someone’s making a penny.”
Thats my favorite one as well and anytime I see a chance to write something silly for other ppl to find, thats my go to
Wright is more obscure and philosophical..Hedburg is just flat out silly and whimsical. Both geniuses!
Agreed man, I could never choose who is the better comic

Brilliant, both.
"I'm a peripheral visionary. I can see into the future … but only way off to the side." - Steven Wright
I hadn't heard that one yet, brilliant! Thanks.
No battle is necessary. They're both comedic geniuses. : )
Saw Steven live once. It was a great show. He opened by walking out on stage and picked up a guitar. With the spotlight on him, he saw the shine off the guitar move around the audience, and said "that's weird, it didn't do that in the store...". Set the guitar back down, and never touched it again the entire set.
Another guitar joke: "I will now play every song the Beatles ever wrote. But I won't play all of Hey Jude."
Another guitar joke: He's playing a song he says he wrote, and it gets very quiet. He explains, "The pen ran out of ink."
In his first HBO special he has a guitar too, and plays 'Hey Hey Rachel Dear'
When I saw him he came out to a stool and glass of water on the stool.......He picked up the glass, took a drink, then repeatedly set the glass halfway on/off the stool's edge and couldn't get it to stay. So he raised the glass, grabbed the stool, slid it under the raised glass, then set the glass down and said "Good Evening".........lmao.

"meme culture" is an oxymoron.
Mitch hedburg you were a gift thanks for all the laughs...rip...
Mitch's observations on escalators and golf are flipping brilliant! 😂
What a party to be in same room with Steven Wright, Gary Larson, Bill Watterson, and Mitch at the same time. Comedic overload.
That is the greatest idea of people. Pure perfection
I'd add Dave Barry (columnist/humorist) too! Maybe Spike Milligan and Peter Cook, as well...
That'd be a fat slice of comedy genius.
This is perfect! These are the two names that come to mind when I hear the term " one liners"! Thanks for putting this dream team together, sort of. 😊
'Milton Jones' is the 3rd of this bunch. Check him.. He is British.
@@joshharrison2657 Completely correct.
Steven Wright was the first of his kind and the best. Love his way of thinking.
I do really like both of them a lot, but seeing them side by side really shows how next-level Hedberg was.
Steven Wright any day. What a legend.
Not even a question, he is the best
Oh I don't know man I feel like Mitch was just finding his groove. But I like em both. I didn't realize how similar they were.
Agreed
I hate Steven. Mitch is wayyyyy better
These two guys are hands down my favorite comedians. Awesome video ❤
Mitchs' Hippopotamus joke still breaks me up!
My favorite Steven Wright was “I have a map of the United States,it’s actual size” 😂
My two favorite Wright jokes are the one about everything in his apartment being replaced with an exact replicable and the seashell collection. Two collections of verbal statements that evoke whole surreal worlds. Absolutely evocative.
Yes! Those and the one above French toast in the Renaissance. 😅
This is such a great compilation Thanks!!
two geniuses 😂
classic Steve Wright hands down the best, timing is everything
Two of my favorite comics. Some similarities but also differences. This was a treat. Thank you.
"I put instant coffee in the microwave...and went back in time." 🤣
My 2 favorite comedians. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing wright a couple times live.
Mitch was such a rock star. He was a beautiful man. That demon had him so hard, what a tragedy. Steven Wright will forever be one of my favorites
These two deserve awards for funny stuff.
It's really funny to listen to these legends and how their comedy/mannerisms and even...jokes...have trickled down to Comedians today. I can hear a lot of Tom Segura, Chris D'Elia, Bert and even Rogan in there. Absolute pioneers.
