  • 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.

    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.

    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.
