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
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.
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.
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
“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.
@@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.
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 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.

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
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 🙌

"Yeah, I DO suck but I got a lot of free time." Then you can see another comedian, Ralphy May in the audience, chucking it up! LOL Mitch was so loved by all! ❤
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.
God I love this dude. Just his chill laugh and odd observations. "Hehehehehe...I was gonna say how's everyone doing....but then I reFRAIINED. ....alright..."
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.
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."
@@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 😁
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...
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
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".
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!! 😏
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.
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.

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!
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.
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.
...and mashed potatoes...and the best here was Mitch laughing at his own joke... 😆 Priceless...and Mitch you have MORE FANS NOW THAN EVER !! Know that we love you,are still saddened by your early departure but Happy and thankful that You were here and created n shared your comedic genius for all to enjoy ! Wish I could have met you...
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.
Thanks for pointing out baby ralphie may. I had to pause and rewatch. It’s so dope to see truly talented artists enjoying other truly talented artists. So sad I’ll never get to see either of them in person, but so happy that they left behind their comedic legacy for us and future generations to appreciate!

No notes, no index cards, nothing.... This legend could talk for 2 hours on heroin, never repeat a line, and get more laughs than 95% of today's comedians. RIP Mitch. Genius.
"I like dizzy Chicken!" Man this guy was the Sh!t! His brain just worked differently than other people. He had to come up with some of these lines while he was extremely high!
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.
@@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?
Man oh man I loved this dude! My friends & I used to listen to him all the time back in Highschool, especially during art class...we'd split the headphones up lol. Mitch had the best one-liners!. R.I.P. MITCH HEDBERG, THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS & YOUR AURO!
Mitch was so endearing on stage, you can hear that the audience can feel his nervousness and they really embrace it and help him. Unfortunately it took the audience 30 minutes into his 45minute set on his marquee Comedy Central performance to do the same. RIP Mitch
Is that the one where they really started getting into him near the end? And he kept adding more jokes to the special? "That one is getting edited IN the special!"

yup!!!! wish he was still here to give us more
Same here. So cool.
Just found this for the first time today! I thought I'd seen all his stuff, how delightful

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.

Comedy is funny when it appears to come naturally.

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.
All time favorite!!! and never a bad word...pure genius
Christian Daniel never a bad word? Why doesn’t he like to wave at people? “Look what I got motherfucker”.

You obviously haven't seen much of him.
Mitch is one of those stoners that got so high once, he never reopened his eyes.
He had stage fright. He did that all the time usually w sunglasses
@@robertparaday9122 lol but mostly I think it's the heroin he's on.
He had crippling stage fright, dip🙄‼️He closed his eyes as a coping mechanism.
Yeah heroin makes it pretty hard to open your eyes. I know 🥴🥴🥴
He said he never wanted to look at crowds because he didn't want to see disappointed faces😞
If this man were still alive, he would be one of comedies best ever.
He still IS one of the best comedians ever, even tho his time with us was far too short.
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
I randomly came upon this of Mitch!! Man I miss this guy, I had the privilege of seeing him on stage.....the best ever!
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!
Sometimes you’re just too funny to be living on this earth. RIP
Lame
@@carltonthepug Yea you are.
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 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.
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.

...and mashed potatoes...and the best here was Mitch laughing at his own joke... 😆 Priceless...and Mitch you have MORE FANS NOW THAN EVER !! Know that we love you,are still saddened by your early departure but Happy and thankful that You were here and created n shared your comedic genius for all to enjoy ! Wish I could have met you...
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.
I'm pretty sure that's straight vodka.
It's nice to drink it like that sometimes.
thats straight heroin you mean. no judging
He likes vodka & pineapple, the pineapple is next.
could be tequila or any number of clear liquors
Neat!
"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.
I like Mitch Hedberg, because he has a lot of free time.
Comedy is taking something from every day life and making it funny. Mitch was a master at that
Only discovered him a few years ago..up there with the best..surreal ..”shake to the best of your ability”. Genius
You know, for a one liner comedian, he sure had a lot of two and three line jokes.
How about Ralphie May in the crowd? Two funny dudes gone. Luckily we have TH-cam to relive their comedic genius.
laughing SO hard lol love that pastor ass look he has going on there.
Thanks for pointing out baby ralphie may. I had to pause and rewatch. It’s so dope to see truly talented artists enjoying other truly talented artists. So sad I’ll never get to see either of them in person, but so happy that they left behind their comedic legacy for us and future generations to appreciate!

Glad someone captured this set. One of Mitch’s best. Every
joke found a home. Perfect.
He's terrified of stages yet is one of the best comedians
Dizzy chicken sounds like the name of a 70s dance.
or a female heavy metal band
It sounds more like a 50's dance, honestly
Actually, dizzy chicken is the name of an arcade game lol

No notes, no index cards, nothing.... This legend could talk for 2 hours on heroin, never repeat a line, and get more laughs than 95% of today's comedians. RIP Mitch. Genius.
RIP? Oh no, no, no. He's no longer out there? Damn it all!
@@hilarylaw8415yup. Passed in 2005 of a heroin overdose I believe.
Never saw this one before. That was before I saw it. Now I have seen it after. Thanks for uploading before it was after.
That reminds me of a joke, but I wont tell it because then you already know the joke.
That is very Hedbergian, my man. I'm digging it.
lol....
lol nice. in Honor of the man!
I used to like this video. I still do, but I used to too
I love how much he giggles at his own jokes
"I like dizzy Chicken!" Man this guy was the Sh!t! His brain just worked differently than other people. He had to come up with some of these lines while he was extremely high!
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
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?
Man oh man I loved this dude! My friends & I used to listen to him all the time back in Highschool, especially during art class...we'd split the headphones up lol. Mitch had the best one-liners!. R.I.P. MITCH HEDBERG, THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS & YOUR AURO!
Mitch had almost a childlike quality of innocence in his humor. Probably the best "joke writer" I've seen.
I'm so sad I only discovered him after he passed away. He was a very endearingly funny comic. Totally unique.
I love how he views the world. One of my favorite comedians. Some of his "unfunny" jokes are what makes me laugh the most 😆
“Were they a good crowd? Yeah, they were NEAT!”
Mitch was so endearing on stage, you can hear that the audience can feel his nervousness and they really embrace it and help him.
Unfortunately it took the audience 30 minutes into his 45minute set on his marquee Comedy Central performance to do the same.
RIP Mitch
Is that the one where they really started getting into him near the end? And he kept adding more jokes to the special? "That one is getting edited IN the special!"
yeah, it’s frustrating as hell listening to that one cause the set it hysterical but the audience is flat

I got to see him 3 times and each was spectacular. Miss ya man.
That 2-in-1 joke is underrated. “If there was 2 in 1 it would be overflowing” 😂
I love this guy so much.
I would have loved to chill with him.
I think a lot of us would.
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.
Fruit on the bottom....hope on top!
Watching him win over the audience with his charm is a treat I’ll never stop enjoying. One of a kind. I hate drugs so much.
drugs helped him write these type of jokes
I like drugs a lot
Great to see Ralphie May in the audience laughing and having a good time. Ralphie was a helluva funny comedian as well. RIP Ralphie. You are missed.
Mitch was a genius in so many ways: he rationed that little cup of water to counteract his cotton mouth just long enough to get through the show!
Seems like odeing and genius go together like chocolate and peanut butter
He was such a nice guy, with a really nice smile.
