Early Mitch Hedberg T.V. (1995) stand-up

[FrankeeFraud]

This guy's funny, even though I can't stand the ugly cunt that introduced him......

[1978oldschool1]

Nocturnal Jocks!!!!!

[CheddarBob39]

..This clip really shows the genius that Mitch was. The delivery was great and the jokes were very clever/funny. RIP.

[agumonkey]

Can't land your show end in a classier way.

[illegalsmilereturns]

Ive seen this clip before. Thankyou for the UL ")

[archaist]

wow. I love watching these early stand-up videos because you see a lot of jokes you've never seen before. usually it's not as good as the stuff you're familiar with. but damn, his material is really strong here.

[TimUkulele]

Man I wish he were alive... really.

[whammy850]

Okay. What 18 trolls keep disliking these videos?

[my3boyzmommy]

@whammy850 Really!!!!!! How the HELL could you dislike Mitch Hedberg?!?!

[orangehasrhymes]

I've NEVER seen any clip of Mitch Hedberg looking this healthy... Its kindof sad...

[smartxalex]

@orangehasrhymes I know, right. He seems so together.

[MutimirRX]

@orangehasrhymes Died too young, as the years progressed he was getting more and more jittery.

[devilturd]

who is the chick who started the video?

[VeliusTD]

@devilturd janeane garofalo

[100528]

"here, you throw this out" lololololololol

[Svenridesmuch]

oh Mitch...I miss ya

[MoldytoasterMedia]

He's the guy from Dr. Katz

[railfanatic844]

hey brother, two XD

[acehole7]

holy shit demtri martin completetly stole his act

[ConnorRunsFree]

@acehole7 you're a little late to the party on that mistaken realization.

[jjay75]

@ConnorRunsFree You're late to the next party where he's right.

[CaMSm92]

first time i have ever seen him without sun classes, kinda weird

[Jrocka7x]

Pizza Hut! >:]

[thomasegede666]

Bri - Li - Ant !!!

[ryanmeursing]

Here he's normal. Was it an act or the drugs that made him deliver the way he did later on?

[Coatl360]

@ryanmeursing I think what he did later was just what he found to work better in terms of delivering jokes.

[dylanlenn]

@ryanmeursing I think it was a combination

[UndeadChapel8]

@ryanmeursing It was an act. He says in several interviews that he developed a character over the few years he was around. He also really developed some great delivery.

[punkwasher]

Goddammit, why'd you have to die Mitch? The world needs so many more of your one-liners!

[repelghosts]

opposition dept...GO FUCK YO MOTHER...ALRIGHT..THATS WHAT MY LATE FRIEND MITCH WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU...WANKER-PUNK-ASS...GEMMA

[suamaetrepano]

Am I the only one curious about the line he was going to say near 5:28?

[twiwonder]

Wow, Mitch! Nice hair! 

[scatdrummer666]

janeane garofalo <3

[RHCP10206]

went out like he wanted to. I want to get famous, then overdose. I guess he wins

[jimgravesus]

We lost him way too soon. Fucking sucks man.

[ericwilliamwillett]

17 people open a pizzeria

[Asifiwascool]

I used to like Mitch Hedberg. I still like Mitch Hedberg, but I used to, too.

[BigRedCotter]

@Asifiwascool hahahaha one of my favorites of his

[Sammyzuko]

....and a monster. I pushed it. LOL! It's the subtle things that make him extra funny.

[EmptyTomb]

he didn't seem to really have stage fright back then...

[Elidoransgar]

I think this is his best set ever.

[KieraKarin]

I love him!!!!!!!

[Sirena860]

Thank you so much for posting this! Amazing to see this bit of his evolution.

[BenjaminFrankenstein]

Any fans of Mitch Hedberg should definitely check out Chicago comedian Junior Stopka. Have seen him with Doug Stanhope a couple times and he's got more Hedberg vibe than anyone else I've ever come across.

[Racingirl911]

So sad he is gone. There is one less smile among us now. RIP Mitch--I hope you can now see how truly loved and admired you were...

[dimabbq]

absolute lege

[gremln666]

Thanks 4 this post... LMAO. RIP Mitch. God obviously does have a sense of humor and that's why he took you.

[ecko3003]

@gremln666 stupid fucktard comments; assuming God is somewhere else and not right here right now

[TheWarehouseMusic]

I'm starting a death metal barbershop quartet

[alterbridgefan99]

"Hey brother...2" LOL

[superplankx]

He died but we still have Dane cook, IM beginning to think buddah does'nt exist.

[hotpockets222]

@superplankx You don't think Buddah is a God, do you?

[itstonymacaroni]

@superplankx Buddha doesn't exist anymore, because he's dead.

[drtabe]

Very unique comedian

[Oodlenoots]

Holy shit! No sunglasses!

[peopleidontknow]

this stage design was all wrong

[MrValkonin]

@peopleidontknow I agree, especially for Mitch. Even if it was a random arrangement, this shouldn't qualify. :/

[JonasPolsky]

Mitchy Harrelson

[Noisejunkie2]

So good! Mitch could tune his act to any crowd!

[greg55666]

Later we changed it to "a cappella," as we were walking out of the pawn shop. That was funny.

[AfroManiac89]

@greg55666 Could you explain that to me? I don't get it.

[greg55666]

@AfroManiac89 He had what was obviously a horrible band. They couldn't make any money, so they had to sell their instruments, which is the lowest thing a band can do, because then there's no band. So then they were just an a cappella heavy metal group because they had no instruments.

[AfroManiac89]

@greg55666 Thanks bro, I get it now!

[nitsudo1]

he seems sober, not as funny, but still funny

[MrValkonin]

@nitsudo1 I used to drugs, I still do but I used to TOO! *Audience laughs*

[IrishStorrie]

A death metal barbershop quartet...! lol! I miss this guy. :(

[ToxicZim]

@2:11, Is that a black guy in acid washed overalls?

[Meatsparkle]

i'd totally listen to injured.

[TheHoffmanHouse]

why the hell are ppl saying he has stage fright.....he seemed completely fine in this video.

[garyplumber25]

Thanks for posting, Mitch was hilarious



[alterbridgefan99]

nocturnal jocks lol

[jessieam1979]

it was comparable to that day in 94 when I lost another fave.

[BlossomingFreak]

@jessieam1979 I will mourn with you (assuming you ARE talking about the grunge legend)

[jessieam1979]

ah, I've been a long time fan but I never got to see him. So unfortunate. I cried hard on that ungrateful day.

[boomboom23]

Haha if you mute it it looks like he is speaking at a very important seminar.

[micahsantos]

Just expressing peace verbally so, "Deuces"

[heatbucspies55]

Love how the jokes I think are the best ones get nothing, than the ones I don't think are as good peopel crack up at.

Not that those ones ar ebad.

Mitch is Hilarious.

[terrinakamura]

Too many great little bits

the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching

This video falls under "comment".

[OppositionDept]

@diderr01 you made no comments jack ass

you have to make comments like "oh and here we can clearly see he's stoned" or something, you can't just upload it and say "oh this is for commentary even though I'm not saying a FUCKING THING

[JohnWinthrop]

@OppositionDept What do you think the comment section is for.

[TitaniousGrubbs]

@OppositionDept Nice logic there. This video is up for commentation, which you yourself have done, but does it say anywhere that a specific person (i.e. the uploader) has to make a comment on the material in question? No, just the fact that this video available to comment is enough. No one has to make dumb comments trying to argue a point that would atempt to remove a video. Nice use of caps lock btw.

[65rjd]

@diderr01 Then why do you say " for entertainment purposes only" ??? You haven't critiqued it. You haven't commented on it. You haven't reported on it. You haven't taught me anything about it. I still like it and am glad it is here for me to see for free, but don't pretend you didn't lift it.

[DexterFishbourne]

@diderr01 Thanks so much for putting this up.

[badcommentmr]

@OppositionDept i will kill you

[10INTM]

@OppositionDept I believe you have been thoroughly PWNED!

[shredfan24]

XD some of the funniest shit ever

[santanaincubus]

"I live in a studio apartment. 1 bedroom. When people come over I give em a tour."

[LuketheJuke24]

Its cool to watch how his comedy evolved over the years. Here he acts more like a normal comedian here instead of telling random jokes. He's one of the funniest comedians of all time no matter how he does it.

[MondoHoN]

@LuketheJuke24 Random jokes was SO funny LOL

But yeah either way this guy's fuckin hilarious.

RIP

[CDLSrockers]

[HOTROD74GremlinX]

[Gurra88]

Who's the host in the beginning? She reminds me of someone.

[jcadmire]

@Gurra88 hahaha i thought sarah silverman for some reason

[FungusMossGnosis]

@Gurra88

That's Janeane Garofalo!

[ssav634]

@Gurra88 jeanine garofolo

[Zanirtak]

I thought he was blind?

[MrMistery101]

I was only two years old back then. Damn, I'M IN THE WRONG GENERATION.

[Gurra88]

@MrMistery101

I was 7, but I hear ya.

[mfighter96]

@MrMistery101 I wasn't even born till the year after :(

[aftermathfool]

@MrMistery101 me too, all my favorite bands and comedians were doing their thing before i was old enough to follow them

[vrillco]

@MrMistery101 : Dude, we're all in the wrong generation. I'm still bitter that I missed the 70's computer landrush by like, a year :P

[TheKillerofhipies]

@MrMistery101 lol "This aired in 1995" -__-

[Blamepandora85]

Man no Lennon glasses

[TeHCoLoNeLSaiGoN]

man this old mitch stuff is really good, thanks for posting!

[NotEntertaining]

transportation is a good way to get around lmao i heard a gun shot then i saw two guys running maybe its just a race lmao

[tijuanahooker]

@JustHereToComment... Death metal bands names are 'obituary', 'rigor mortis', "mortuary"... All related to death... Since his band was NOT that intense, he just named it 'injured'...

[DASPLEEF]

RIP this dude smokes daspleef

[pretzelzetzel]

@DASPLEEF he smokes you? i bet a lot of dudes smoke you.

but really. hedberg was a self-professor heroin fan. he didn't like reefer all that much.

[JustHereT0Comment]

Will someone please explain the death metal joke to me

[Mouser763]

@JustHereT0Comment "A Capella" is what you call it when people sing without instruments. So they changed their name after they left the pawn shop because they had to pawn their instruments to get money... which pretty much means their band sucked.

[ledbetterbrothers]

@JustHereT0Comment They were playing the instruments in the pawn shop and probably were told to leave but just kept singing as they left lol.

[mkhedart0mt0avari]

6 people are nocturnal jocks.

[erootkwu]

i don't know; i think his 'high' act was alot more act than actual high, for the most part. it got laughs and fit his schtick. ibut, as the man said "i used to do drugs, i still do, but i used to, too."

[BrandonCampagna]

@erootkwu I think it may have actually mostly been real, because the year before he died, he did a show where he walked on stage drunk, then asked people in the crowd for prescription drugs...Someone gave him some, and he took them in front of the whole audience.

The year before this he was also arrested for being in possession of heroin.

[KesoXorganoff]

He seems alot cleaner in his early videos. RIP

[Longbow2020]

@KesoXorganoff totaly was gonna say the same thing he doesn't look high

[ThommyTiernan]

It's really cool to see Mitch this way. He's a bit more relaxed than on his later shows, looks like he has no stage fright at all. And also waaaaay slower than usual XD Usually his jokes go fast

[XxGRINDSMYGEARSxX]

lol. jock-turnals

[cichytom]

death metal barbershop quartet LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StreetSpirit95]

I think this is the first time I've seen him sober.

[PalmliX]

Killed it!

[MrMiloha]

He looks like the bad guy from Charlies Angels movie but with long hair.

[sdflksdfkfh]

eh, he's kind of bombing. This isn't good.

[xloudwhispersx]

unlimited free pizza!

[myPAINisSELFchosen85]

he looks and sounds so much more normal in his earlier days

[Orcastrator2]

@myPAINisSELFchosen85 haha because he isn't zonked out of his mind on cocaine

[NGDemonSlayer12]

@Orcastrator2 or other drugs for that matter haha

[bluegrassreb1]

my favorite ever!!!

[guacamoleroxmysox]

RIP Mitch.

[UserName222222]

i want to know what the rest of his super glue joke was

[MrAmbidex1]

theres always gotta be those 2 jack offs who dislike the video

[silentzedjozn]

here's to mitch mighty mitch

[ekremgj]

he was the jesus of comedy

[Infeld7]

I miss ya Mitch. Rest in two.

[a1hocker]

I love the fact that he isn't obviously high but I don't love the fact that he isn't as funny as he later stuff...when he was high....Still good shit though R.I.P. Mitch

[TheSunAndAntarctica]

@a1hocker I think he wasn't always high. I think he was just nervous, which would explain his shaking and wearing shades and closing his eyes in later videos with bigger crowds.

[danieldaring]

damn look at the audiences horrid outfits

[IEminentz]

@icee0711 I see what you did there but.. that doesn't sound good at all, dontcha think? Lol

[icee0711]

Wish this guy was still around, he was hilarious. rest in two mitch.
