"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load shit into a truck."

And I promise...no more comedian appreciation threads from me for a while.

my bf kept telling me he died but i refused to believe it. any knowledge of how?

he is awesome, i appreciate.

According to reports, he died of a heart attack. He was only 37. But apparently, he had a drug problem, so that may have contributed to the heart attack.

"I was in a 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're a table."


"An escalator can never break; it can only become stairs. You would never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order' sign, just 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.'"


"Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. 'Damn it, Otto, you're an alcoholic.' 'Damn it, Otto, you have lupus.' One of those two doesn't sound right."

He is my favorite comedian. I remember seeing him on Comedy Central for the first time and I thought "this guy is the coolest dude ever, and he's hilarious." I wish he could've been alive longer.

oh my god the guy was HILARIOUS. i loved him everytime he was on letterman and then went and saw one of his stand up routines at the punchline. i seriously have never ever in my life laughed so hard as i did at his show. every single person in the audience was crying from laughing so hard.

his delivery was fucking excellent.

He's got a couple of CDs out...Strategic Grill Locations and Mitch All Together.
Has anyone heard his bit, "The Drufresnes?" I'm pretty sure most of you have, but I'm posting it anyway because it's a favorite of mine.

You know when you go into a restaurant, and it gets busy and they start a waiting list, and they start calling out names, "DuFresnes, party of two." They say again, "DuFresnes, party of two." But then if no one answers, they'll just go to the next name, "Bush, party of three." Yeah, but what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing! And they're hungry! That's a double whammy! "Bush, search party of three!" You can eat once you find the DuFresnes!

It's better to hear it though, because as cherry_nebula pointed out, his delivery was excellent.

oh god...mitch hedberg is probably my favorite comedian. easily one of the funniest guys of his time. i spent an entire weekend just listening to his work, great stuff. i still even quote his stuff. it's a shame what happened to him, RIP.

hahaha thats probably my favorite mitch bit!
i think cheese graters should be called by thier real name, "sponge ruiner."
it is about his delivery. which i could have seen him live.

waffles are just pancakes with a syrup trap.

Best. Thread. Ever. I love Mitch Hedberg.


Fork lift..... "it was way to literal for me"


What a funny guy he was.



^^

hah hah good one. yeah I have both of his cd's. great stuff.

Mitch All Together came with a DVD that had his Comedy Central special. There was the aired version and the unaired version. I watched the unaired version, and they did a lot of editing as far as the crowd goes. The crowd actually sucked. Most of them didn't know who he was, and they just weren't getting him at all. He was in Hollywood, and no offense if anybody here actually lives there, but I always got the impression that people from there are jaded and sort of think they are above everything. Therefore it's uncool to laugh at things. Or maybe the crowd was filled with morons. Anyway...here's some more.

"2-in-1 is a bullshit term, because 1 is not big enough to hold 2. That's why 2 was created."

My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on, four billion! Fuck. Seven. I need more dice."

I think Pringles initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. But Pringles is a laid back company. They said "Fuck it. Cut em up."
