- I had a lot of fun putting together the top funniest Mitch Hedberg stand up jokes.
Mitch Headberg is comedy genius but sadly, no longer with us (February 24, 1968 - March 29, 2005). Consider this
montage a tribute to most hilarious comic I've ever seen.
The Very Best of the Legendary Mitch Hedberg - Komedie
"The best thing about escalators is that they cannot break, they can only become stairs"
Sorry for the convenience
We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there...
Lmao
“Any book is a kid’s book if the kid can read.” 😂😂😂
I tried to blow the hair off my screen then realized it was just your profile pic🤣🤣
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His humor is a mixture of dad jokes and big brain stoner thoughts and I’m here for it
perfect description, damn
Well said man
wow that was well said
What a take, nailed it
@Bruce Michael made you think? maybe if you’re stoned.
“I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.”
Lol
That's one of my favourites! 😂
this one is up there for sure 😂
"When I was little, I used to lie in my twin bed and wonder where my brother was."
This had me rollin' Just from reading it.
The first joke of his that I ever heard was the escalator joke. I was hooked right away. I was fortunate enough to see him live at the Comedy Caravan in Louisville about 8 months before he died. Still to this day, that is my favorite live event ever
And I am sure that in some alternative universe his twin brother was laying on the other side of the bed wondering where he was.
@@alias7343 I just started standup and was/am inspired by Mitch.I'd like YOUR OPINION.

Oh man, literally tearing up laughing over here 😂
My favorite Mitch Hedberg joke:
"I want to be a racecar passenger. Just the guy who bugs the driver. Hey man, can I turn on the radio? I think you should slow down. Why do we keep going in circles? Man, you really like Tide."
Haha
Time?
@@bonham1981
It's not in this clip. It's from his Comedy Central Presents special. A clip from that special is at 6:09 but it's a different joke.
That's a good one 👍 One of my favorites was, "When I was a kid, I used to sleep in my twin bed and wonder where my brother was" 🤣
Why do you keep turning left?
My boyfriend told me that my sense of humor reminded him of Mitch. That's the first time I found out about him. He's a gem.
"Someone offered me a frozen banana, I said no, but I wanted a regular banana later, so I said yes"
Do you have a source for that ?
Rodney Dangerfield
He did the same thing with a baked potato
Which I like a little bit more
So I said yeah*

One of my favourites from Mitch:
“I had a candle, but I didn’t have a candle holder, so I bought a cake.”
That's witty and legit
I love that one lol
That makes so much sense to me :)
No comedians makes me laugh out loud as much as Hedberg. What a loss his death was
If he was alive for twitter he would be HUGE
Joe Rogan XD
He was huge to a lot of people ;)
What! He’s dead!?!?
@@nyspawn9332 2005 bro
There’s a “retweet this; fuck that, I’ll make a copy” joke in there somewhere.
"Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool Opotamus?" One of my fav jokes. Gone too soon.
LOL! That's one of my faves, too.
Soooooo many gems from Mitch. Intelligence + smoking weed = those types of thoughts. 🤣
Literally JUST got done with an over the phone interview. The HR woman asked "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" .....I couldn't help myself and replied "Celebrating the anniversary of you asking me this question!" 😂 Miss you Mitch!! RIP

My favorite MH joke (from memory): I saw a wino the other day who was eating grapes. I said hey man, you gotta wait.
LOL! I love that one.
The best part about lines like that, is that you know there's a VERY real possibility that he's actually recounting an experience he had, and not reciting a joke he wrote.
My favorite also, super short and still super layered
Forgot about this one. It's great. Ty
In my opinion, he is one of the greats. His humor is so pure. I hope in 200 years and beyond that people still mention him.
I wont live 200 years but as long as im around he will never be forgotten. Any time a comedian's name gets mentioned my first response is always "yeah, but have you heard of Mitch Hedberg?"
He IS one of the greats. Unfortunately, many people never heard of him - which is a shame. He's in my top 3 favorite comedians along with Norm MacDonald and Rodney Dangerfield.
He will be forgotten (just like you)
198 years
They won't. He will be lost to time.
Mitch had serious social anxiety, he still mananged to get on stage and not sweat through his close and have a panic attacks while delivering his act, and even when his jokes didn’t land he always found a way to make it twice as funny as if the first punchline landed flawlessly
Great point! Mitch delivered through adversity. So I guess he was adversed but well versed in adversity.
I remember a joke bombing on one of his CDs, and he said "Alright...that joke is funnier than you all acted" 🤣🤣
He would also do Heroine before he would preform sometimes
Cocaine is a helluva drug
that is what killed him- its called heroin
Mitch Hedberg was one of my favorite comedians. He still is, but he also was.
niiiiice
🤣☠️
Excellent
Exactly.
Mitch would've loved this morbid joke.
You can tell he had bad stage fright, but his love for comedy pushed him out on the stage anyway. Great talent.
You couldn't be more Correct. Mitch like quite a few Comedians have some level of Stage Fright.
It's interesting because he still has a great stage presence - and I think what I learned from that is that comedians should be authentic above all. Good or bad jokes whatever, you have to be authentic.
The drugs :( He used to have to do it with his back to the crowds o_0
@@GrahamBo44there have been other entertainers with stage fright who performed with their backs to the crowds, like Van Morrison
also why are you typing 0_o bullshit in 2024, click on the white face below the letters, these things called emojis come up
"I used to do drugs I still do but I used to to."
Out of order escalator?
My belt holds my pants up, my belt loops hold the belt up. What's going on down there? Who is the real hero?
He’s magical! Got to see him live before he passed. Highlight of my life.
"An escalator can never be 'out of order'. It can only become stairs."
@@dkaz77 Same here. I was fortunate to see him about 3 months or so before he died.
@@dkaz77 you need a better life.
the "I used to do drugs.." joke isn't Hedberg, it's Bill Hicks
If you are flammable and have two legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Lol
I was driving down the interstate and saw a sign that said ' Chattanooga 5, Nashville 52' and I thought "Nashville must have a really good team."
You don’t have to be sorry-it’s 3 am, and you’re a dry cleaner
His humor took me a few minutes to start laughing. They’re not over the top, just one after the other, quick-witted. I love it
I miss Mitch Hedberg, man. I love other comedians and their "let's tell a story" approach to comedy, but Mitch was great at 1-3 liners, which is really, really tough! It has to instantly land with virtually no set-up! He had a lot of talent, I wish he was still around.
He would've ruled Vine.
That's like the Rodney Dangerfield approach to stand up. Both were great in the business.
I didn’t know of Mitch until CZcams shorts showed me a video of him. Now I know that a good thing can come from watching CZcams shorts.
Nice. I hadn’t heard the “off white/noxema” bit before. Thanks for sharing! I love that I can find these little nuggets every once in a while through different peoples videos still after all these years.
His rice joke is one of my favorites.
Every time I eat rice, I think of this joke.
@Bot AtChess it’s just dumb. It’s smart and stupid and funny. There’s not much to get. I love Mitch
“This shirt is dry clean only, which means it’s dirty” I FUCKIN SNORTED LOL
Best one liner comedian of all time. "When i was a kid, i used to lay in my twin sized bed and wonder where my brother was". Fucking kills me every time.
Rodney dangerfield….slow down
@@MoejiiOsmanTV nah, Dangerfield is probably the greatest in the sense that he left the biggest legacy, but he's definitely not funnier than Hedberg
"you guys did that for my mom" is one of the greatest callbacks ever
"I want to hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down."
1:31 i love when he smiles - that "yes these people like me" smirk
I wish he could have known that all these years later, people would still love him, and listen to his work every day.
The slip cover bit kills me every time haha "and it was a load off my mind" 😂
The parade joke, just, I contemplated if life was worth living and Mitch brought me back to reality with his pure sense of humor. A lot like Norm. Both truly missed.
Glad to hear you're here, Keep fighting, especially when it's hard. I like to listen to "The Day I Tried to Live" & "Fell on Black Days" when I'm in the dangerous neighborhood of my own mind. Wishing you the best 🕊
FYI if you’re on the fence about life don’t make judgements based on what you see on the internet.
Life is worth living but your job is to also try to enjoy it as much as you can manage...Laughing is one really great way to do that. Seems like you're doing a good job -- keep up the good work! 🙂
@Nathan - Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you for that.
How you doing my man ❤
"I think the entrance to Target should have people splattered all around." LMFAO!!!
Genius joke lol
his jokes would be lame if said by anyone else his delivery makes him amazing
BrxIghtside the lameness of them is what makes them funny
His delivery is legendary.
BrxIghtside shut up this material is gold
its definitely his delivery, i ve tried telling some of his jokes and people dont laugh lmao
Not true. His delivery is great, but don't overlook the material itself. My man had jokes. Some of them are actually brilliant and can be used in multiple deliveries.
But I get what you're saying, his delivery is out of the park.
*"Rice is good when you're really hungry and want 2,000 of something"*
Only Mitch Hedberg would ever come up with a joke like that. What a fucking _genius!_
Dr. Acula LMAO
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer...
😂
Mitch didn’t want applause all he cared about was the laughter
Mitch Hedberg was both a colleague and friend of my son. Was likeable, a bit shy in person. ""Without ego"" and always had time for others. Never looked down at "anyone". The best of engaged conversations with Mitch, lives-on. Off-stage a close similarity is Dave Chappelle.
He and the real Dave Chappelle are still my favorite stand up comedians. Good people, they were.
Hope they both R.I.P.

I've been happy before, but I've never been anywhere near as happy as mitch looks when the audience laughs at his jokes

I loved his thinking. I miss him. He contributed so much to comedy. And what is so amazing is how naturally funny he was. I think he genuinely needed laughs from the audience and it was deeply felt.
People were not ready for him yet. A lot went over their heads. He would be huge right now!!
Him and Norm MacDonald would have been phenomenal together. Norm really enjoyed his material.
What are you talking about? Don’t you hear the wild laughter in these clips?
I miss him. Got to see him live in Madison WI and he signed a CD for me. Such a kind soul. 💜
I came here after watching the joe rogan podcast with guest artie lange..I never heard Mitch's standup..this is the first time and im 46. I'm so glad I looked him up because I am laughing hard!..R.I.P Mitch Hedberg..I'm also an addict and struggle with addiction from the time I get up to the time I go to sleep..i feel helpless and lost in this world but after listening to Artie Lange on Joe Rogans podcast I now have some hope..i know that i will die soon if I don't stop and I have a beautiful wife and granddaughter to live for..am I selfish? I truly feel powerless..who am i?.I pray that I can do this..I'm scared as hell
Addiction is a disease, get help NOW before it's too late. Mitch was amazing and is my favorite stand up of all time. If artie Lang can do it, so can you! You owe it to yourself and your family to get help. Good luck man.
i did the same exact thing!
You got it bro! Sounds like you got people that love and care for you. Keep going! I’ve been there! Best thing to do is find a fun hobby! Music, paintball, drawing, karaoke, poetry, anything you’ve wanted to do you should just do it! You’ll soon find you’ve become more addicted to your new hobby and drugs don’t really intrigue you as much anymore! It takes time but it WILL WORK! Don’t make it hard, make it fun!!! Enjoy everyday man
I just hit 6 years sober and guaranteed I was a worse addict then you and Artie put together. It can be done, just please hang in there and seek help. Message me if you want some advice
@@HoodstarGaming video games & tantra are great substitutes.
Mitch's physical being may be gone but his whimsical spirit lives on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Mitch used to be alive, he still is but he used to be too. You're comedy was a beautiful contribution to the world Mitch, thank you
Nicely put Stuart.
Through CZcams videos (thanks to creator fir this video) I've seen way more of Mitch now than when he was alive. And showing my boys these clips ensures that one more generation will keep his.memory alive. Just like we revered our older musical and literary culture, I hope decades/centuries from now comics like Mitch are still appreciated.
Stuart Comans.....Dear Stu,
The fact that you used the word “whimsical”, makes you a total fuk stick ?
@Lisa Surlie you miss your dad huh?
You talk about him like he’s Hendrix, calm down
Truly unique. His album "Strategic Grill Locations" is impeccable and makes me think of him as an unsung rockstar of comedy. Absolutely brilliant, comedy misses his presence and insight.
Calm down, he tells dad jokes in a stupid voice. Doesnt age well.
What do you consider funny, Fitz?
@@fitzfitzchivalry4538- He tells dad jokes? What funny voice?

I love the one woman who was upset by the parrot dying.
Possibly the best comic ever, whose observations were a perfect mix of wit and sillyness. RIP, brother.
The club sandwich joke is simply a perfect joke. And the dry-clean only joke. **chef’s kiss**
I got to see him live with Stephen Lynch a few months before he passed. It was the funniest show I've ever seen, even though he was so wasted on something that he was only half there for the show. Here's some of my favourite jokes he did that were not from CDs (as far as I can remember) --
- When a joke landed flat, he poked his head through the big red curtain he was in front of and said "Hey look, there's another audience back here, and they think I'm hilarious. Hello other audience, I'm wearing the world's biggest cape."
- There was a speaker on the stage that was like a little box on the ground. So he walks up to it and goes "What is this, some kind of shoe analyzer?" and proceeds to put his shoe on top of the box, and then says "Analyze this."
- He started to tell a joke about a dolphin but got distracted and never said the punchline. I always remembered that he had a secret dolphin joke and tried to find it, but it wasn't anywhere. One day my sister found it on a LiveJournal page quoting comedians, no idea where they heard him say it, but it apparently went something like this:
"Dolphins have a reputation for being smart, but there's gotta be at least a few dumbass dolphins out there. And I'm gonna find them... probably in a lake."
RIP Mitch, you were a formative piece of my early humor and even after watching every episode of Friday Night Standup growing up, I still think you're the funniest comedian I've ever seen.
Found that dolphin joke on a video cam recorded college show here czcams.com/video/tXHfge_kCS8/video.htmlsi=6a5p6I92npG3FepB
He was so incredibly gently funny.
I love the way you worded that. Perfect!

Same, I remember always being ecstatic when his specials would play on Comedy Central. Didn’t have any internet just basic cable. Id think “who was that hilarious hippy guy in the blue glasses in front of the fire?”
Just discovered him as well. Sad he passed
His mind was next level in how he deconstructed and reverse-engineered the World...
He is by far one of the funniest comedians I’ve ever heard, his comedy was surreal..i only discovered him a couple of years ago, a sad loss..i would have loved to see him live, Shine on you crazy diamond.
I just heard of him in the last 6 months on Sirius Radio. Funniest delivery ever!! I heard his joke “if i was walking down the sidewalk with tight rope walker and he tripped and fell, that would be totally unacceptable!” I laughed for about 45 minutes.

It sometimes takes a bit for the audience to catch up, even a second or two sometimes... but they eventually get the joke and laugh.. that's how you know he's telling an original joke...
...which Mitch always did.
His comedy special was like that. He floundered around for about 30 minutes with a dead crowd and they finally started catching on and by the end they were rolling
The king of dad jokes.
Use to think he was so cheesy. But as I look back at his clips and listen to his jokes...great stuff. Genius.
I think the genius of Mitch Hedberg was that he constructed jokes that basically only he could get away with. It wasn't the jokes but the way he told them. Anyone else doing them wouldn't be funny because they didn't seem to be written to be funny jokes in and of themselves. It's like a professional telling amateur jokes extremely well and selling it. That was his power.
It’s like you’re telling the joke to yourself cause u find it amusing, 😂 absurdist humour word play.
No, the jokes were funny in and of themselves.
"Best of Mitch Hedberg" first 2 minutes are unedited footage of Mitch doing standup on a late night show. 100% adds up 😂
The neighbor in the "go around" joke was nick dipallo. He used to even write "dipallo" on set lists for that joke
I don't think I'm alone when I say this: When I watch a video of Mitch Hedberg, I find myself applauding his best jokes. MAYA - you put toigether some of his best material. Thanks from all Mitch Hedberg fans!
For me, it's not the joke itself that makes it funny. It's his voice and his delivery. He was too critical of himself at times, but he was truly unique. RIP
My husband and I just LOVED Mitch. We miss him very much, there's no one like him.
Poor man was so nervous even though we loved him. One of my favorite comedians of all time.❤
I like to throw a toothpick into a forest and shout, "You're home!"
Why does he make me cry sometimes?
I was drunk the other night listening to comedy tracks on my phone and I legit went from happy to sad when he came up.
*"All vitamins are chewable, but some taste like shit."*
I still just love how wholesome his humor was.
You cannot call something the best of Mitch and only be 7 minutes. When absolutely everything he has done is the best.
Mitch was so ahead of the times with his comedy, his jokes remind me exactly of someone reading off funny little joke tweets
The ‘slip covers’ joke gets me everytime. RIP Mitch
