Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- There arguably isn’t a comedian that captured the MTV generation or has ever mastered one-liner jokes quite like Mitch Hedberg. His deadpan and absurd humor made him one of the most popular stand-up comedians of his generation.
Hedberg sadly passed away from a drug overdose in 2005. He was found dead in his hotel room in Livingston, N.J. Hedberg was tipped to be the next big comedian and signed a deal with Fox for a television sitcom.
Even though his fans never got to see him star in his own show, Hedberg has continually gained a cult following even years after his untimely death. Here is the untold truth about comedian Mitch Hedberg.

RIP to comedy legend Mitch Hedberg. What other comedians would you like us to feature next?
Greg Giraldo
Looper SAM KINISON.
Battle Circuit he said comedian. Sam Kinison was not funny.
Bill Hicks
Bill Hicks!
I used to miss Mitch... I still do, but I used to, too.
This deserves way more up thumbs.
This is so perfect. Props to you man.
+Jerry Huckins I gave it an up thumb. Plus you x
mysterywhiteboy72
I'll bet Mitch would've been proud of your comment. Well said (and ditto), my friend.
I used to miss Mitch until he didn't duck
“Every book is a children’s book if the kid can read”
dri
“One time, at this comedy club, I didn’t get a lot of laughs, so they made me stay afterwards and vacuum. So either start laughing or don’t drop shit”
I remember watching the show where he said that😂😂 (on youtube)
They were a neat crowd
Very funny joke. Brilliant. Keep at it bro
@@vitinosolano6632 That was Mitch's joke not the commenter
pure genius.
"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."
He really said that?
So authentic
@@unusedmillstones2380 yea he did i don't remember which show it was though
@@phee3D I'm pretty sure it was featured on one of his CDs, too. It's such a clever way to put it
@@LordPichuPal yeah it was on his 2nd album the 2003 one
"Mitch All-Together" is his second album. It's brilliant!
"You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later."
RIP, Mitch. We miss you.
evilferris lol
evilferris I love that one!
Sad but true.
That's something to put on your headstone.
Greatness
Looper you are wrong. Mitch did mention his heroine addiction on stage. "I am addicted to heroine. I can only sleep with women who have saved somebody."
Good catch
" i used to do drugs, i still do, but used to, too"
Is there a video of that joke?
Yes
@@danielscissorhands that’s what the joke was
"Minnesota Nice" is so fitting. Notice how his jokes were never mean in any way, in fact, they were about being nice. There is a special place in Heaven for Mitch, right next to the Dufresnes!
And Slappy the frog...
Table for five.
I can't sleep, wondering about the Dufresnes!
Party for five? No! Search Party of Five! You may eat when you find the Dufrenes!
How can anyone eat at a time like this? The Dufresnes are missing!!
He was a straight up funny guy. No cuss words, no weird sex stories, just comedy with quick one liners.
He hates purple people. Unless they are suffocating. 😅
He did curse, even in this clip you watched 😂
"I find a duck's opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread".
I wish there was a way to describe his style of comedy.. it really is one of a kind when people make jokes like him now I can only use his name as a verb
Your being very mitch hedbergie lol
@@tylerandleahcanadian3888 Eh? Ok, that's our of the way.
I've heard Hedberg's humor described as, "Observational'.
@@tylerandleahcanadian3888 that's an adverb though
@@tylerandleahcanadian3888 Steven Wright is very close to the same style. (and came before mitch... obviously inspired him)
@@tylerandleahcanadian3888 did you miss the vote? At your suggestion, we decided that his style of comedy should be unique to him alone and “you’re being very Mitch hedbergie” is the correct and only way to describe the genius thoughts that mitchs brain blessed us with. Anyone can have an observational, dry wit utilizing deadpan humor, but there is only one hedberg and it’s blasphemy to use preexisting categories when trying to explain to others what style of comedy he utilized. “You’re being very Mitch hedbergie” transcends genres and categories. It is one of the top honors that can be bestowed upon a fellow comedian as well as forcing anyone who hasn’t heard his flawless acts to look him up and learn. Plus then we get to use “very Mitch hedbergie” in everyday conversations which makes me laugh. All in favor? Sustained. It only needs three yays. Overruled. Tyler, Leah and I are in agreement. I’ve been led to believe all Canadians as well? But I await confirmation from rocky and bullwinkle
"When I was a kid, I would lay in my twin sized bed and wonder where my brother was."
Slack Nasty omg 😂
I always thought that was Steven Wright's line. They are similar.
Jerry Huckins Steven Wright had a joke about a king size bed I believe. They are very similar comedians though
Probably my favourite Hedberg joke
I totally agree...just a younger version. Abstract comedy. Clean and hilarious.
People who fish and throw them back don't want to keep them..they just want to make them late for something. RIP the Great Mitch Hedberg
"Where were you?"
"I got caught!"
@@krashd "I don't believe you. Let's see your inner lip."
Anybody else tearing up over his humanity and generosity?
Yes
Miss his comedy man to this day i still quote him and then sometimes have to explain 😂 that tree is far away
Here is a photo of me when I was younger. Every photo of you is of you when you were younger.
Ross Mandell
Here is a photo of me when I was older...
Dancing Spiderman, where the fuck did you get that camera at?
Brilliant
It's about time somebody said that!
My favourite Hedberg joke is "Rice is really good when you want to eat 2000 of something". Awesome one liner.
*"rice is really good when you're not that hungry but want to eat 2000 of something"
Forgot that one, too funny
Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus or just a really cool opotamus
Wouldn't it have been better if it went, rice is great when you're hungry, broke, stoned and want to eat 2,000 of something.....
I did not understand that joke, plz explain
"You can't please all of the people all of the time and last night all those people were at my show."
I've seen that special several times, HE DEFEATED that audience.
"Chicken pot pie, my three favorite things."
Was that also on Trailer Park Boys, or did someone just steal it for the meme?
That's a Pablo Francisco bit.
Pablo Francisco
Lmao!!
From Pablo Francisco's special titled "Ouch".
It takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes, I'll just throw one in there, even if I don't want one. By the time it's done, who knows?
The Bolt 76 🤣🤣🤣
I literally just thought of this joke today as I microwaved a sweet potato. Mitches jokes reflect every day life in a great comedic way.

I totally do that
Hahahahaha classic
"I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, “You’re gonna have to move, you’re blocking a fire exit.” As though if there was a fire, I wasn’t gonna run. If you’re flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit."
"... unless you are a table." (Mitch full sentence)
One of my favourites
I have a 13 year old son with social anxiety who is the best comedian I know. He reminds me so much of Mitch in his delivery of jokes. I showed my son Mitch's special a couple of weeks ago and now he has watched everything he can find on UA-cam on repeat. I am so glad that Mitch's star is still shinning long after he is gone for kids like my son to see that you can do whatever you want in life. Sadly there are a few other lessons in his life to be learned also.
hopefully your boy gets to enjoy them in the luck and the wisdom of it. Honestly there is nothing that con be done to prepare and save the ones who get lost to H it's just way beyond the words of it all. that first hit is the one that kills the ones who end up dying. Doc Gabor Maté breaks it down pretty good, but there recipe for Armor has not ever really been found. Hope All goes right of course. Not suggesting otherwise. just speaking respect to both Mitch and the H bomb. He was a true gem.
whenever i introduce people to his comedy, its always the same pattern; they sit there and smile wondering what the hell is going on for the first few jokes, halfway in they start get it and find the humor in his delivery and quirkiness, by the end theyre rolling and ask to watch the first few again now that they get what hes doing. he was like one of those movies that makes absolutely no sense at first but once you watch it enough times, its genius.
YES! Bang on there mate!
I'm really trying to like him from clips but it's tough.. I obviously need to watch a whole set.. Thx for the insight cuz I really wanna understand his humor man
Yes, exactly! I had the same experience the first time I saw Idiocracy.
that's exactly what my experience was when a friend introduced me to his comedy, lol.
I never understood why he needed to be “gotten”. His delivery was amazing for the jokes that he was telling. I think that it was the lack of him ever really narrating a story or point of view of any kind that might have turned some people off at first. His jokes were good, and his delivery was fantastic but his style was a bit unconventional...which certainly isn’t a bad thing.
It’s a shame that he’s dead. I remember sitting around in my basement/living room/whatever you’d call it with corn dogs, magazines and books I’d read countless times already, and having him to laugh at during the night alone. And this old gas heater that I’d light with matches. Mitch Hedburg and Dave Chapelle were the last two comedians that I’d truly gotten into.
My dad and I were watching tv one day and we randomly happened to land on his Comedy Central Stand up and we ended up watching it and laughing pretty much the entire time. To this day i still remember that stand up and how much my dad and I laughed at it. Thank You Mitch Hedburg
Ruben Aguirre bringing families together...
Thats dope dude
Same. My dad came in from working in the garage all night and laughed his ass off at a few of his jokes.
Me and a buddy caught his Comedy Central special as well out of the blue. It was just on in the background at first, but it quickly caught our attention, and by the end of it we were both hooked on his comedy.
Reading this on Father's day, hopefully your dad (and you if you have a son) will have a Happy Father's day. In the end all we have are the memories we share with others.
He’s a forever legend...period. I will miss him as long as I’m alive, kind, friendly, genius and above all humble.
I sincerely hope that you remain alive, kind, friendly, genius and above all humble for many years to come. You seem truly special! ;)
"I can whistle with my fingers ... especially if I have a whistle."
Miss you, Mitch. ❤
Years ago when i was a college student in a smaller city in Minnesota i went to a comedy show at a local bar on a Sunday night. Here walks in this comedian on to the stage lookin like he's higher than a kite with his hair covering his face and wearing sunglasses looking down the whole time and I'm thinking to myself WTF haha. 5 minutes into the show, with one witty one-liner after another and a chuckle to follow, he has the whole audience tearing up with laughter. I mean his demeanor and delivery is what worked so perfectly, then maybe a month later i saw him on the Letterman show and I remember thinking holy shit i JUST saw him! He went from doing a show in front of an audience of 80-100 people to an audience of millions, crazy! Long story short i consider myself so very fortunate to see a Mitch Hedberg show live. RIP Mitch Hedberg
Brad Carlson Master of the Dead Pan delivery. Hard as hell to pull off.
I wish I could have seen him, I hate that hes left us all so early.

Mitch has been my favorite comedian ever since the first time I didn't get one his jokes.
He transcended the bounds of normal comedy. They say that someone is always the brunt of a joke, and that we only laugh at things because they are too painful to cry about. But Mitch proved for all the world that it doesn't have to be that way.
You had me on the first sentence. Mitch is The Kid.
yeah but no
because he died
"I was laying In my twin bed wondering where my brother was" 😂I laughed until I cried the first time i ever heard this
Hey I bought myself a parrot. The parrot talked. But it did not say "I'm hungry", so it died.
Mitch invited me up on stage at the Seattle Comedy Underground in 1998 to do an impression of him. He handed me his glasses, his signature G&T and his smoke and gave me the room. Such a cool and friendly guy...and what an amazing talent. R.I.P Mitch
Why do you think that happened?
What a fantastic memory to have!
I seen him around 97/98 at Giggles in the U District. Glad I got to see him Live.
That's incredible dude.
@@rosemariebelladino8022because Mitch was super kind and generous and supportive of newer comedians, did you watch the video?
"One time I had a Jack & Coke and I saw that the lime was floating. That's good news, man. Next time I'm on a boat and it capsizes, I'll reach for a lime . . . and a lemon too. I'm saved by the buoyancy of citrus!"
"When it comes to racism, people say, 'I don't care if they're white, purple, or green!' Oh, hold on now. Purple or green? You gotta draw the line somewhere. To hell with purple people! Unless they're suffocating. Then help them!"
R.I.P. Mitch. You were the best!
"I havnt slept for 3 days...cuz that would be too long."

I like an escalator because it never breaks .. it just becomes stairs
Sorry for the convenience.
Escalator temporarily stairs.
this is easily one of my favorite jokes ever
We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there.
In corporatist China escalator breaks you! Sorry I should have mentioned that is supposed to be read in a bad Yakov Smirnoff impression.
Mitch, you always spoke to me in a way that made me confident in my more innocent traits, like you were making kind and simple humor cool. You were great, thanks a bunch dude.
he can't read. he dieded.
@@criztu yeah, but articulating what we liked about our role models can help us better emulate that which we found inspiring.
@@CountZakula the role he is currently modeling is rather depressing.
@@CountZakula PSSSST! Hot tip- Mitch can’t hear you, he’s dead.🤦♂️🤡
...👍👍
Stumbled across this guy by accident & was instantly hooked. I then proceeded to search every Mtch Hedberg set on UA-cam. . Who wouldn't have wanted this guy as a friend ? RIP Mitch. Another genius gone too soon
"I would hate to be a giraffe with a sore throat."
Actually bought Mitch's 'Mitch All Together' CD/DVD at a thrift store recently. It was not alphabetized...
Quintin Fortune .....you sir would piss Mitch off......for buying the last. Listen to it and return it👍
They didn't follow instructions.
Jesus, What I would give to have Mitch back. Hands down favorite comedian that has ever lived.
I disagree. George Carlin was the GREATEST comedian ever.
@@SoapinTrucker MR CONDUCTOR; i used to yell this at him at his concerts
As he said, Mike, it was HIS favorite comedian. No need to interject your opinion. He posted his opinion. Relax.
And your favorite comedian that has not lived?
One time I saw this wine-o eating grapes. I said dude you have to wait
That is clever!
😂
I was supposed to see him, I missed him once and when he was to come through again I passed due to financial issues that I could have worked out I'm sure. So never hold back on doing the things you really want to do, especially if that experience involves another human. Life is so fleeting and I regret thinking I could catch him down the road each time....until his road came to an end and I never got to personally enjoy him and thank him for making me laugh.
Great comment.
So true. I'm 60 yrs old, have little money but also have no regrets about the adventures I've had. Very blessed with wonderful memories and fortunately decent health.
"hey man, I did not lose a leg in Vietnam to serve hot dogs to teenagers"...

it amazes me how many ppl dont get that joke . i actually had to explain it to a few ppl .
LOL.
"I had a Mr. Pibb, Mr. Pibb is a replica of Dr. Pepper but it's the bullshit replica, cause dude didn't even get his degree."
I used to love this guy. I still do but i used to too.
He could have done so much, he was ahead of his time. Damn I love him.
"Wearing a turtle neck is just like being choked, all day, by a really really weak guy."
Seriously, that's EXACTLY what it's like. Mitch nailed so many things, but this shit is like nailing the afterlife and hell at the same time.

Mitch once had a joke about dying on April Fools Day, the day I heard the news on the radio of his passing was on April 1st and while I was sad, it also kinda made me chuckle, I dig this dude and I wish he was still around
Holy shit that's legendary
To the people that wrote a 1 liner from Mitch as a comment... you people are AWESOME! Love this guy.

Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.
There is a local supermarket that uses that line on a billboard inside the store for the rice aisle (credited to Mitch). Its awesome.

My former roommate and I made variations of this joke hundreds of times after watching Hedberg do it!!!
i am so sorry he's gone. i only recently discovered this very talented & intellectual person. How i never heard of him boggles my mind. RIP Funny Dude
“Oh no here comes that frog! I better play dead” 😂 I miss his comedy so much. The world is a less pleasant place to be just by him no longer being in it
My favorite jokes:
If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you're a table.
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.

SeppuKush is
I worked on Los Enchiladas. Got my first screen credit on that movie. I still have some newspaper clippings and paperwork from the production tucked away in a book somewhere. All these years later, it's still sad to think what could've been with Hedberg. He was an icon.
What a great memory to have dude!
I Want To SEE LOS ENCHILADAS ! ,,, how do i find it ??? PLEASE !
gypsy rain You can find it on UA-cam itself. Goodluck.
i found it :) !
Cool memory but the tragedy is that he never made it to be an icon, he’s more cult icon i think.
I just discovered this man today as I was watching Dimitri Martyn, after a video by Dimitri a recommendation from UA-cam brought me to Mitch Hedberg, he was good,too bad and sad he had an addiction. RIP🙏 Mitch Hedberg!

@@aylbdrmadison1051 sienfelds stand up was garbage
No comparison since Mitch was funny.
Thank god he didnt become another sell out comedian like Seinfield...
Mitch was sincerely nice. Seinfeld is hateful to anyone who is not from "the press".
He gave us, "Ducks eat free at Subway" and revealed Bigfoot is a blurry monster. I love you, MItch!!
William Smith It’s not the photographer’s fault 😢. I miss him.
I have only just discovered Mitch Hedberg literally in the last couple of days and he is AWESOME I love his sense of humor. It's very sad he's gone. He was very unique and despite his stoner persona his mind was razor sharp. RIP Mitch you were cool.
I will always love Mitch...just who he was, his jokes, his innocence...How could you not love him. ? I've only seen him here on UA-cam, but connected to him beyond his standup....Always missed in my heart....Hope to give him a big hug in the afterlife.....Mitch, there are a lot of people here, living, who love you...Thank you for making us laugh....MIss you...
"Every time I go and shave, I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving. So I say, 'I'm gonna go shave, too."
Fun, intelligent comedians are not hard to find. What's hard To find is likeable ones. And Mitch was very likeable. His comedy was great and he's til this day one of my all time favs. Forever will be missed.
Discovering Mitch on UA-cam at age 13 literally changed my life. When I found he was no longer with us that entire time I was devastated 💔

_"What happened to the Dufresnes? Bush, search party of 3!"_
Literally Shitler that's my favorite bit of his!!
How can we eat at a time like this?!?
I have been worried about them for years... They are lost and hungry.
"Rice is great when you're hungry and want 2,000 of something."
You can eat when you find the Dufresnes!
Yep, this is the one that won me over!
I remember him back in the 90s, he was and is great. His delivery style, ironically a byproduct of his stage fright, is what made him so unique. His humor was in the Steven Wright twisted observation mode, which made him awesome.
I wonder if those two ever talked shop.
I can't believe people didn't see how funny Mitch was. He's one of the funniest comedians ever.
Still one of my favorites. A true legend.
it took a few years for his jokes to get me.
His style is very unique and i can understand why people wouldnt be into him. I guess you could say people either love him or hate him... or they think he's OK.
Agree. Underrated.
Personally I think he was ahead of his time. Think of comedians like Jim Gaffigan, Tig Nattaro who have a distinct and unique flow, regardless of what you think of them. He would fit in perfectly today. His brand of comedy is so needed😉
A friend of mine said "My neck is killing me" I was like, "That's funny, mines keeping aliiiiiive. ..alright"
Mitch is forever a legend. Sad I only caught on a good 5 years after his death. Rest easy.
I actually managed to see him at a club in N.C. just before he passed. He was amazing, too.
I've been kind of not wanting to go & see any other people I love this hard, just in case I'm a jinx.
So INCREDIBLY sad!!
He was a Comic Genius!! RIP Mitch. You will not be forgotten!🙏😵💫😎❤️
Thank you for doing this tribute. I only discovered this good soul yesterday and was sad to discover shortly after that he is no longer among us.
The good ones are never truly appreciated in their time.
What a stand-up guy, I remember reading the cover blurb of "Entertainment Weekly" (before I'd found out about his passing) calling it "The Death of Comedy's Kurt Cobain"
I still think that's totally valid 12 years later...
Rest in Peace bro
Everything he did was absolutely hilarious to me , the man was simply a genius comedian!!! Rest easy
Very good short doco👍🏻 thank you very much!!
I honestly had no idea he had even died🤷🏻♂️.
Way to say you weren't a big follower, it's like you were a broken elevator..
@@Shifter22
Oh shut up.
Acting like you're something special because you knew and others didn't. 🙄
I watched Mitch Hedberg for years thought he was great thank you Mitch
I remember seeing him live the year before a passed, I was in tears he was so funny I think that was the year he updated his ant 🐜 joke to “if I pull your legs off you’d look like tiny snowmen” I never heard him tell that part before and we rolled laughing when he did
Oh Mitch. You are a legend. Much respect and love. I hope that you are watching how many people are laughing at you now...Amazing...
His style was different. But once you come to terms with that, how can you not find him hilarious?! He was a good comic. Clever, obvious, subtle, overt, self-conscious, brave, scared, and genius!!
I opened my yogurt it said try again, like they were being motivational.. fruit on the bottom hope on the top
Ms V You butchered that joke
A message of inspiration from your friends at Yoplait.
"my apartment is infested with koala bears, it is the cutest infestation ever"
my favorite
I use to think Koala Bears were cute too until my friend from Australia told me how dirty they really are and that they often smell like piss. lol
BodhiZaffa they are also Stoned all day long because of the Eucalyptus leaves they eat, and nearly every one of them have STD’s 👍🏻🇦🇺
Only some have chlamydia, Jase. Not almost every one.
And animal conservationists are working on eradicating the disease from koalas.
But sadly, it's their habitats being eroded by city expansions, that is the main thing killing them.
Smiley Face or nefarious Koala prostitutes? Who knows.
I used to like Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to.
anchorsound2
...too.
i don't understand that joke, please explain it to me.
Just watched the unedited CC special for the first time. What a great experience watching him and the audience get more and more comfortable
Knew him in the last days of his days with us. Not overly well, but well enough to know he was a comedic genius.... and troubled.
I'll never forget sitting at a table with him and other comedians and just marveling at his genius combined with insecurities.
He'll be missed forever
Hands down my favorite Comedian ever ...if somebody robbed me they'd just be practicing RIP
punctuation, use it, it can be your friend
I tried to go to target, but I missed...
I'm so sad about his passing. As I am for every comedian that passes. He was at a height in his career when I needed him most when my life fell apart. So I go on to listen to him as much as I can
I seen Mitch live on Comedy Central in 2003-2004. He was one of a kind. It takes a lot to make me laugh. Mitch had that gift. He could use the lamest jokes and leave to a standing ovation. He was impossible to hate. Comedians are the true untold heroes. They are the ones that make us laugh in times of crisis. I can say from experience, the early- mid 00s were rough and Mitch is an inspiration that we will never forget and the joy he brought into this world. Rip 🙏 Mitch
A buddy turned me onto him back in like '01 He told me to listen to his set twice . . I get that. The first time he was just so unique and not the usual rapid fire bits from other very popular comedians at the time. I wasn't really super into him. But I took his advice. The more I heard him the more I liked him.
He simply grows on you, and sometimes you even 'get' the jokes a bit more when you hear them again.
Cool guy, unique and creative.
It's hard to believe its only been 15yrs. Seems so much longer to me. Such a wonderful man.
"I like to order the club sandwich. I'm not even a member, I don't know how I keep getting away with it."
Love Mitch. Went to 2 shows and his tribute concert after his death with his wife and parents. Dave Attell yelled at me because he thought it was me who was heckling him... Dave, here's the deal... it was the drunk jackass next to me. I love you dude! IT WASNT ME!
I used to fall asleep listening to his albums on repeat. He had such a mellow voice. RIP legend
marleysmellowfan I still do that to this day, hes hilarious.
same here!
Mitch had the clear comedic insight of Stephen Wright, the innocent charm of Emo Philips, and the charisma of Jim Morrison. Thanks to him I can never go to a Subway franchise without smiling.
Very grateful to have seen Mitch perform live before he passed. I'll never forget how funny he was that night. Mitch had his notes all laid out in front of him and he just killed it. RIP to one of the greatest comics to ever live.
