It's a bummer that Mitch never got to do a set with ten million of himself in the crowd. He would be the perfect audience for himself. EDIT: Actually ten million is probably too many. A few thousand Mitch Hedbergs. There, that's the right amount.
I can’t get enough of Mitch. Despite having heard his jokes multiple times, hearing them again makes me smile. A true comedic genius. Sad he left us too soon.
I've heard all these jokes except for the kiwi seeds one. Absolutely brilliant! I never get tired of Mitch jokes, but that was an Easter egg for me. RIP Mitch
Did you hear that on joe Rogans podcast? that shits hilarious I love the one where he says I bought a donut, they gave me a receipt for the donut, I don't need a receipt for a donut, I'll just give you the money you give me the donut end of transaction. we dont need to bring ink and paper into this, I just can't imagine a scenario where I have to prove that I bought a donut, some skeptical freind dont even act like I didn't get that donut, I got the documentation right here oh wait it's back home in the files under d.
Mitch Hedberg is a legend. To memorize all of those one liners and not repeat himself is unbelievable. He was great at taking risks and was able to make fun of his own bad jokes. The crowd was always laughing with him. He was so unique and he was ultra talented. He single handily made me fall in love with stand up comedy. I continue to watch new comedians all the time because of his influence. Mitch is king!
Have you seen that comedy special where the crowd don't know his humour and got hardly any laughs but he soldiered on and after 15 mins they got him. Bloody genius piece of comedy. Bloody marvelous. Respect from England 🙌
I love that ralphie was in the crowd laughing his butt off supporting his homie!! Rip to both legends, that must have been an amazing lineup that night.
@@JoseGranny Yes,If I remember correctly his family Video taped Mitch, us.I really should try and locate his father and ask if he still has them. Lots of good times even in high school.
That was Louie Anderson introducing Mitch Hedberg ending with Ralphie May laughing his ass off, this made me happy and incredibly depressed all at once
It's rare to see a comedian who uses clever humor over crude humor. On top of that, Mitch was brilliantly unique in his delivery. That's why so many people loved his comedy. RIP Mitch.
Corey Cross so sad that ppl seem to think funny = sex positions,descriptions of genitalia anything vulgar. It's like everyone's pandering to 15 yrs old boys. Miss his humor R.I.P MITCH
I don't think he's using clever humor 'over' crude humor because some crude humor is clever. Anything can be funny with the right delivery. You're just comparing him to shit comics.

“I can’t wait for this show to be over, because I got a roll of lifesavers in my pocket and pineapple is next” may be the most underrated line I’ve heard at a comedy show
@@cjloiro pineapple is one of the flavours of lifesavers, a lot of people’s favourite flavour. So he can’t wait to eat the pineapple lifesaver after the show. Oh yeah, also ,the life savers are kept in a “roll” so you can only get one flavour at a time.
My ex loved this dude so much he wrote a comment about how awesome Mitch was and how bummed he was he passed on a fb page or something and his family wrote back a huge response!! They agreed with how great he was, how sad they are too and thanked him for his kind words. It was really really cool, my ex was thrilled.
I saw Mitch in Fullerton, CA just before he died. He had everyone laughing so hard, including me. The only joke I can actually remember was, "I tried to go to Target yesterday... but I missed." RIP
Such amazing delivery. Hard to believe he wasn't comfortable in front of crowds. He was better than most of today's comedians. You are missed by all of us. Rip, Mitch. ✌🤣👍
yeah, same here.. i feel like i should really avoid these kind of people in future.. ..but then again, i think it would be mean to just throw the kids out of my house, after all, they're only 1 and 3 years old..
Just discovered this chap... and I must say he had me laughing pretty good...his delivery and the way he made you think were unique.. it’s a shame we lost this talent at such a young age and I imagine the laughter he would be bringing to a new generation... RIP Mitch..gone but not forgotten!

I always loved Mitch's style. He seems so genuine and his comedy is such a stream of consciousness. I know he workshopped a lot of his material, but it almost feels like your just listening his thoughts while he's in the shower.
We will absolutely NEVER have anyone like Mitch again. Even saying normal sentences, his delivery is hilarious. Like in the joke at 1:36. Just when he says "I'll be damned if I'm not HUNgryyy" 😂😂

Everytime i use use my Cheese shredder to grind up some cheddar cheese, i say to myself "sponge ruiner" and giggle. Still got a self burned CD of one of his specials, and always have it along in my car. When i feel roadragey, i just pop in that disk and i'm all good. Miss you Mitch...
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."
Seeing Ralphie May roaring with laughter at the end of Mitch’s set made me both incredibly happy and incredibly remorseful at the same time. Such great talents, both gone too early.
@@gadvait2010 So what Mitch is saying is that if he doesn't do well, the management will make him clean the club. That makes us think that he's gonna work extra hard make everyone laugh. Instead, he says they were good because they were "neat" which means he didn't have to clean up as much. In other words, he's pretty much saying, in his own self deprecating way, that the crowd was not going to laugh either way so because they were neat, it made his job easier to clean up after them. They crowd was good because they were neat...not because they laughed more, which is what we would expect him to say. It was really a subtle way to give his joke a little extra kick at the end 😁
He died at a hotel that was walking distance from the house I grew up in. Livingston, New Jersey. It makes me sad to think that he was so close by while he was suffering. He’s incredible. I can only imagine all the wonderful accomplishments he would have made if he’d lived. Rest In Peace, MH ♥️
Hopefully it was quick. I’m no professional, but I can’t imagine speed balling being much of a drawn out death. 37 years old is damn young. What a shame. I don’t think I’ve heard of this guy before so I just looked him up. I liked this! His name kept making me think about Max Headroom lol.
I saw at 3 a.m. but that was back in 1997 when this show air after Saturday Night Live okay I'm lying I would record it on VHS with a timer on my VCR that's how I rolled then
Something that people never knew about Mitch was that he had extreme stage fright his entire career. He struggled before each and every performance which caused him severe anxiety.
Yes he was on heroin or severely drunk every time he got on stage!! Sad but true! The high was too powerful for him in the end! He needed it more than living itself!! 😏
The first comedian I loved was Steven Wright from the HBO specials, when I learned 20 plus years later when I stumbled across our beloved Mitch that he was his fav. comedian I fell in love with the Guy may he rest in peace we all love and miss you thanks for the laughs. You are our legend.
He was funny, sure, but I wouldn't go so far as to say he was the best. I mean, his best buddy, Doug Stanhope is better. He kills it. But it's true that a lot of comedians really liked Mitch Hedberg. I guess it's a personal preference thing. I'm not a huge fan of one-liners. That said, he's one of the best at that format. Jimmy Carr is another guy that's in the same vein, just a little bit edgier.
Only found this guy today. One of the best I've ever heard. Reminds me of how robbin Williams would deliver jokes. Mitch's jokes are absolutely phenomenonal
It doesn't matter how many times I hear him repeat the same lines, they still make me laugh my ass off, his "Rice" joke gets me EVERY TIME. Its a damn shame he passed away.
George Carlin was a good example of that. Went from doper humour with a touch of absurdity (good example is his "what time is it" routine); to the firebrand we all knew and loved in his later years. Mitch would've been similar I guess.
Start out observing and discovering humor on people end up discovering there are really SOB's who should be made materials for comedy. "George Bush...even the name..."
Even now in the age of twitter and vine. I feel like his style is so well suited to the sense of humor that dominated the 2010s. I would've loved to see what he'd be doing in that environment.
@@BratvaTV Fair enough, I was not being critical I just wanted to understand the joke, funny or not. Why wouldnt the next flavor be Cherry? I like Tom Segura others dont like his dry delivery. Either way I was asking just to understand how he put concepts together. Then again, not knowing might be the joke, I dunno?
His jokes were the "stupid humor" kind. Not because the jokes were stupid, they're all fairly clever (the original "shower thoughts" perhaps), but when you hear them you can't help but laugh and say "that's so stupid".
I've watched a lot of Hedberg but have never really been 'into' his work. I wonder if a live performance might have changed my mind, if I'd been there to 'feel the energy' because it may sound silly but some artists are like that.
Love this guy, Saw him at the store once.
pokerphil1st another one who didn’t watch the Letterman show
sichiu What's the significance?
No he was buying Kiwi fruit, and maybe some spinning chickens.
I love this comment
funny.
I love how genuine he is. He bombs openly and admits it, then sits there and genuinely laughs at his own jokes. I just love his demeanor.
@UA-cam User yeah, I've probably said some bad shit drunk too. But I've never done that lol.
could not agree more. unequivocally true man
THIS!!!
I like how he doses just enough heroin to be calm, comfortable and confident but not enough to be nodding out n negatively affect his performance
It's a bummer that Mitch never got to do a set with ten million of himself in the crowd. He would be the perfect audience for himself.
EDIT: Actually ten million is probably too many. A few thousand Mitch Hedbergs. There, that's the right amount.
How could you not love this troubled soul? Miss you Mitch.

Fun Uber Games oh im mad i didn't think of that.👍👍
He would've liked that, well done
That was one of his best jokes. Hahahaha May he RIP

hahaha. That line always gets me.

wish he was still alive ;(
I'm by no means a comedian, but if I say something that makes me laugh but nobody else laughs, That's all that matters! Lol

Mitch would turn that line against you….he left toooooooo soon;really? Come on Mitch-Don’t give up
I hadn’t seen this set before. Finding new Mitch Hedberg material is like finding $20 in your pocket.
yup!!!! wish he was still here to give us more
Same here. So cool.

I love this guy, I just discovered him last week he's great! And he is from my hometown Minneapolis
I’ve only just found Mitch on you tube and now I’ve watched everything about him, what a fabulous comic he was
No matter how many times you've heard some of the jokes, revisiting Mitch is always a good time and still brings a smile. I wish we coulda had more.
I remember this appearance. I talked about it for days. He was really unique and very funny.
Same. ❤
"One is not big enough to hold two. That's why two was created."

I don’t think I’ve heard of this guy before so I just looked him up. I liked this! His name kept making me think about Max Headroom lol.
I live near that hotel now, one town over, and it strangely adds to my sorrow a little bit. I always think of him when I pass it.
there's too many dislikes on this video. y'all, get your life straight
No life having sad sacks...lol
He's not funny.
@@JoeKoOhNo maybe you’re too unfunny
@@uberman121 funnier than this guy and better looking.
there are..... you meant to say.
I love this guy so much.
I would have loved to chill with him.
I think a lot of us would.
“A severed foot, makes a perfect stocking stuffer”
Who else is laughing at Mitch at 3 AM in 2019. "Hope on top" he said .
Thermal Chill not me, sucker. It’s 3.10
314
I started around that time but now its 6:20... i haven't found the routine I wanna see... his "Sister's family picture" or the "real estate lady"
Midnight for me
I saw at 3 a.m. but that was back in 1997 when this show air after Saturday Night Live okay I'm lying I would record it on VHS with a timer on my VCR that's how I rolled then
Comedy is taking something from every day life and making it funny. Mitch was a master at that
"Fruit on the Bottom; Hope on Top." I had to pause the video to wipe the tears out of my eyes I was laughing so hard.
He came to my donut shop and I gave him a receipt.
He don't need it man. He gave you the money, you just give him the donut. No need to bring ink and paper into this.
@@MegaTechpc Not a Hedberg joke but a great hippie humzinger
owenhunt a great hippie humzinger used in one of Mitch's recorded sets, easily searchable on this here very video application
Did he file it under D?
Don't even act like he didn't get that donut
Something that people never knew about Mitch was that he had extreme stage fright his entire career. He struggled before each and every performance which caused him severe anxiety.
BulletSpoung yea and that’s why he wore sunglasses
Yeah... No. Just about all of his fans knew this.
That was never a secret...
Yes he was on heroin or severely drunk every time he got on stage!! Sad but true! The high was too powerful for him in the end! He needed it more than living itself!! 😏
People never knew that? You can see it plain as day, dude.
The first comedian I loved was Steven Wright from the HBO specials, when I learned 20 plus years later when I stumbled across our beloved Mitch that he was his fav. comedian I fell in love with the Guy may he rest in peace we all love and miss you thanks for the laughs. You are our legend.
RIP Mitch, you were and always will be the best!
I feel like i'm playing catch up not the condiment .........WOW Amazing , Pay it Forward xo
He was funny, sure, but I wouldn't go so far as to say he was the best. I mean, his best buddy, Doug Stanhope is better. He kills it. But it's true that a lot of comedians really liked Mitch Hedberg. I guess it's a personal preference thing. I'm not a huge fan of one-liners. That said, he's one of the best at that format. Jimmy Carr is another guy that's in the same vein, just a little bit edgier.
Stephen Bru
He's terrified of stages yet is one of the best comedians
I love how he views the world. One of my favorite comedians. Some of his "unfunny" jokes are what makes me laugh the most 😆
"Fruit on the bottom, Hope on top." Inspiration from your friends at Yoplay

Glad I got to see Mitch a few times before he died, I even shook his hand after a show! Definitely had me rolling in the crowd.
Only found this guy today. One of the best I've ever heard. Reminds me of how robbin Williams would deliver jokes. Mitch's jokes are absolutely phenomenonal
It doesn't matter how many times I hear him repeat the same lines, they still make me laugh my ass off, his "Rice" joke gets me EVERY TIME. Its a damn shame he passed away.
How awesome would it have been to be able to see this guy as an old man? How much funnier would have been? A true legend in comedy.
George Carlin was a good example of that. Went from doper humour with a touch of absurdity (good example is his "what time is it" routine); to the firebrand we all knew and loved in his later years. Mitch would've been similar I guess.
Start out observing and discovering humor on people end up discovering there are really SOB's who should be made materials for comedy. "George Bush...even the name..."
At least we still have Steven Wright
Even now in the age of twitter and vine. I feel like his style is so well suited to the sense of humor that dominated the 2010s. I would've loved to see what he'd be doing in that environment.
people like Mitch don't get that old man
Man this popped up in my feed. I sure do miss Mitch. He was absolutely hilarious.
He was such a nice guy, with a really nice smile.
Thanks for loading this one. Never seen it
I like Mitch Hedberg, because he has a lot of free time.
I love how much he giggles at his own jokes
🤣🤣🤣so good!! Damn I wish he was still around
3:33 I have a roll of lifesavers in my pocket....and pineapple is NEXT! lmaoooo
can you explain? x)
He told this joke and I didnt laugh for a few seconds, then I thought about it and then it had me rollin lol
@@BratvaTV Im dumb, why is it funny?
@@m.rivers9201 If you need it explained, you wont find it funny. Mitch Hedberg is not for you. Find another comedian.
@@BratvaTV Fair enough, I was not being critical I just wanted to understand the joke, funny or not. Why wouldnt the next flavor be Cherry? I like Tom Segura others dont like his dry delivery. Either way I was asking just to understand how he put concepts together. Then again, not knowing might be the joke, I dunno?
Loved seeing Ralphie May at the end. RIP to Legends
Always been my favorite comedian.
Sometimes you’re just too funny to be living on this earth. RIP
Lame
@@carltonthepug Yea you are.
"fruit on the bottom, hope on top" I loved this man's humor. I miss him everyday.
His jokes were the "stupid humor" kind. Not because the jokes were stupid, they're all fairly clever (the original "shower thoughts" perhaps), but when you hear them you can't help but laugh and say "that's so stupid".
He said this just as I was reading your comment
smooth delivery just too good 😘👑
What a huge loss. He was amazing. RIP Mitch.
I'm so sad I only discovered him after he passed away. He was a very endearingly funny comic. Totally unique.
i will always remember this guy from years ago , he was and is super cool !!!
Saw Mitch in '03 opening for Dave Attell and Lewis Black in Portland. Never laughed so hard in my damn life. RIP Mr Hedberg.
Damn....that show must have been epic.
Love Mitch and Dave.
I've watched a lot of Hedberg but have never really been 'into' his work. I wonder if a live performance might have changed my mind, if I'd been there to 'feel the energy' because it may sound silly but some artists are like that.
Same! I was able to get him to dig a CD for me
You know, for a one liner comedian, he sure had a lot of two and three line jokes.
