Why do people like Mitch Hedberg?

[manowar821]

I think GodlessAstronomer actually loves him, and is just trolling for Mitch jokes.

Holy crap, so funny. Can't believe I've never heard of him until now. Thanks OP, erm, actually, I guess thanks everyone that disputed the OP.

Get his HBO special, it's probably the best hour of comedy you will ever watch.

 

[snowdogg187]

He was hilarious. Probably due to a different delivery and original jokes.

We lost a hell of a comedian when he passed.

hmm. I did not know mitch hedberg before watching this and I gotta say... not that funny.

Am I in some bizzarro world where everybody thinks unfunny stuff is funny all of a sudden?

I'm known to have some eclectic tastes when it comes to comedy, but I just watched a few videos on youtube, and I didn't laugh once. Not a smirk. Even all these "jokes" people are posting got me scratching my head. I understand them all, but I fail to see how they're remotely funny.

Well, whatever, I'm gonna go reboot and hopefully I'll return to the real world where funny stuff is actually funny. :roll:

Fuckin' potato chips came out, man, 'cause they had a "HH" button, for Christ's sakes! You need to let me know. I'm not familiar with the concept of "HH". I did not learn my AA-BB-CC's. God god, dammit dammit.

I like Dane Cook too though... lol

Me too. Really, most main comedians I find hard to say "that guy sucks". I'm easy to make laugh, I can't help it. Hell, most people can just tell a joke, and I might be the only one even smiling, but I tend be laughing unless I'm actually trying to be reserved for some strange reason.

Hedberg

just watched that the 3 parts to that special because he's funny. Haven't heard a lot of his stuff though, tbh.

Dane Cook cracks me up too. Hell, my parents came home while we were watching his one special and they were cracking up too.

 

[Ballatician]

One of my favorites. I liked his bit about fire exits among many others, just awesome delivery.

edit: I forgot this - "I haven't slept for 10 days because that would be too long"

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

He had a special kind of humor. I'd love to smoke a bowl with that dude.

I was just about to page you, robotic queen . . .

IMHO, if you don't think Mitch was genius, you haven't done enough drugs. . .

I find him to be fucking hilarious.

 

[arrfep]

Do all you Hedberg fans like Mitch Fatel as well? I saw him at Zanies this spring and it was friggin awesome. I swear I almost pissed myself from laughing so hard.

 

[Ns1]

guy was genius in "how the fuck did you come up with this shit" kind of way

RIP

 

[tomt4535]

He died at a hotel maybe 5 min from my house.

I think hes really hilarious though.

One of my all-time favorite lines..

 

[Farang]

Aside from the jokes themselves his style of delivery was brilliant

[TestedAcorn]

"Want some more homemade sprite?" "Not till you figure out what the fuck else is in it!"

 

[schizoid77]

I find it hard to believe people can't see the humor in not only his jokes, but his delivery.

I'm glad I don't hang you with some of you, you're probably dull as fuck.

I believe that this is the key. I understand his jokes, and a few of them are actually amusing, but most of them sound like something a 6-year-old kid would say in a (failed) attempt to be funny. However, if you are stoned stupid, then everything might amuse you...

I don't, and never have, done drugs but I still think he's hilarious.

 

[KaOTiK]

I don't really care for him. I don't like his style. Some of his jokes are ok though.

Never heard of him. You know it is possible that I do get it, just don't like it

Oh, really?

Haha okay that's pretty good. I don't even get the wino joke above.

I personally do, but they're not even close to the same style of humor. Hedberg is the master of 1 liners and they usually are pretty smart in comparison to Fatel, who's also really funny just isn't as smart.
