  • This guy was great. Someone else we lost too soon.

  • haha you can tell he gets excited at about 2 mins.. it was a little awkward at first. Love Mitch Hedberg.. rediscovering this while stuck in a snow storm! Still funny!

  • he's better off now. i think most of us will be.

  • R.I.P. Mitch

  • man this guy is a legend

  • man this is sooo funny...you can tell he looks bad then too. pretty gaunt and literally looked like he was smoking crack. he was such a beast, RIP. its gonna be mitch hedberg quote day at work tomorrow now.

  • Henny Youngman's got nothing on Mitch!

  • My eyes are full of tears, as I just learned that "my boyfriend", passed away in 2005. I feel as if he died today, oh how sad. Mitch, I hope you are resting in everlasting peace. I'll love you forever !

  • @tottart I feel the same way, I had no idea he had passed away. I was just setting here watching a comedian with my husband and thought of Mitch. I wanted to look him up to show my husband some of his stand up and ended up finding out that he has died. I am totally shocked. He was defiantly on of the greats!!!! RIP Mitch Hedberg.

  • you know, some of mitch's best jokes were about food

  • @BikiniDeathSquad Yup! Donuts!

  • i got a lot of vending machines.. ha

  • Such a wonderful man. The world is worse off whenever humor of his caliber dies. The strength of character it took for him to do comedy and face his fear, that is the power of human will. Agree with him, like him, or not, it is pretty amazing that he could face whatever fears just for the sake of comedy.

  • "...yeah...it was a Wednesday..." RIP Mitch -- we miss you, brother...

  • Elvis Costello? What the hell?

  • @SteevDragon67 This was during the time Dave had, what, quadruple (maybe quintuple) by-pass surgery? Lots of different guest hosts... though if you're inferring that you don't get why Elvis Costello would be a guest host, I can't quite answer that, heh.

  • He kills every time.

    it's so funny.

  • Comment removed

  • He really won them over with that rice joke.

  • He looks like Tina Fey kinda.

  • Sarah Palin's awesome stoner brother

  • He doesn't have stage fright, that's parkinsons disease

    

  • @aymeedizzle "Because he suffered from stage fright, Hedberg often performed wearing sunglasses, with his head down, with his hair in his face or with his eyes closed in order to avoid eye contact with the audience. He would often stand upstage or perform with his back to the audience. He would also constantly move in one spot and, when holding the microphone during some bits, his nervousness would cause him to shake it uncontrollably." Matt Gonzalez.

    Don't assume what you don't know.

  • This guy was really hilarious, too bad he's gone... RIP

  • The Kurt Cobain of Comedy

  • Lol...kinda hilarious even when they fail, like at 3:53 :-P He recovers nicely

  • My god how damaged he was at this point. I'm serious there was no question something bad would happen... wonder if his manager ever tried to help him. He must've had real huge problems with drugs. Too bad to lose such a brilliant and kind hearted person. Love the guy, rest in peace Mitch.

  • and in the middle, we shall dump chips

  • Some real shit in this holy fuck.

  • i tip my hat to you mitch hedberg.

  • pretty sure he looks the same and acts the same in all his stand up, yes he does drugs, im over it

  • one of the coolest comics ever. Rockstar

  • this guys fukn awesome... one of the most naturally funny comedians ive ever seen.

  • agh gets under my skin he died so young and a great entertainer drugs helped him perform you're damned if you do and damned if you don't

  • hes tweeked out

  • i just watched a vide of him in another special and he said alot of the same jokes there as he did here.....and they still made me laugh like crazy

  • i have heard these joke well over 50 times and it still makes me smile and laugh at every second

    R.I.P. Mitch You where the best.

  • Hahaha, amazing guy!

  • wow, ok yes drugs do kill whatever but it was his choice to do them! he lived his life the way he wanted, cant say it was a good choice but it was his choice, no need to be so harsh!.... he was a great comedian! thanx mitch for the laughs! rip

  • Aww Mitch... the drugs show through so much in this clip.

    Great comedian and writer/thinker. I listen to your stuff and i laugh every time i do. Your work make me happy in really dark times, been really helpful to me and i appreciate it. Thank you so much and rest in peace.

  • I always liked Mitch....

    I did not know he had stage fright! None the less

    I have seen some shows on YT and he seems pretty fucked up.

    Not at all a judgement on my part, just an observation...

    God Bless you Mitch.. You are gone but you make me lmoa!!!

  • @glidewell1000 no, he looks bad here cause he's not on drugs. thats his stage fright kicking in..

  • Best delivery in history....

  • Man he looks really bad here.....fucking drugs.

  • @Glidewell1000 Fucking drugs? I got news for you. Drugs, like guns, don't do anything by themselves. It's only when a foolish person decides to mis-use them that bad things happen. Mitch Hedberg killed himself, pure and simple.

  • @GuitarGuy057

    someone's cranky his mom caught him masturbating...

  • i always thought one-liner comedians were lame, but mitch is a massive exception. love this guy!

  • love em.

  • A cracker on each side.

  • King of one-liners.

  • 82 people went to see Dr. Acula..

  • Can't fault him for having stage fright. It takes balls to get up on stage in front of people let alone national TV and make people laugh.

  • @CCTV9 It definitely takes balls, but moreso than stage fright, mitch is high as shit

  • I'm gonna open up a chain of Chair, Lunch, Dinners in honor of Mitch.

  • how could you possibly not like this?

  • @mhisalive My thoughts exactly, but I've tried to show Mitch to some people and they're silent the entire time. It's beyond my understanding.

  • Damn, I love this dude, but maybe he died b/c he ran out of jokes.

    #heard this shit already

  • @dawnonyou i saw him live a couple months before he died and he had a lot of jokes i've never heard, and when they arent recording for tv or something, they are always trying out new jokes...also get his last CD or listen to it somehow there are some great jokes on there.

  • best most funnisest fucker ever

  • His last performance was on my birthday!

  • hes the only guy that has the right to laugh at his jokes, its funny when he does that.. like how he came up with the parade one and giggled before..

  • Why do the very best ones die so young?

  • @mistermangetout

    a lot of people die young, it's only that we "remember" the best.

  • @mistermangetout Because they're the very best

  • @parkfc4life ...but not ever eaten

  • It's amazing how a guy as talented as him could have stage fright, but he did! That's why he wore sunglasses and didn't make eye contact. You can actually see how white his right hand was in this video. And he is still the best stand up comedian ever. R.I.P.

  • Sad. You can tell how coked-up he is. He was awesome. I was lucky enough to se him in Boston.

  • I don't understand the dry cleaner joke

  • @igotnuttin take all of his jokes at face value. He was just shedding light on the fact that it's not necessary to apologize for not being open at 3am. he took the things every one saw on a regular basis and made it funny. That's what made him so good.

  • @igotnuttin Hahaha you might be over thinking it.

  • @igotnuttin Wow. This level of dumb, exists. You tried to follow the parade, didn't you?

  • @GuitarGuy057 Hey you fucking little shit, I didn't understand this particular joke so I fucking posting a question for someone to explain it me. So if the only thing you can do is call people stupid I suggest you go fuck yourself.

  • Totally played the wrong note on the I Love Rock and Roll intro.

  • @TonyDeLotell It's Jazz... uneducated fuck. You'll note how they do it for the last note too? It's called "up the octave". Please, take your uneducated musical critiques and insert them up YOU "octave"... thank you.

  • 80 people are against frilly toothpicks

  • "underrated"? the hell are you talking about...

    oh, yeah - so i love how he knows the parade jokes are gonna kill - watch him, he anticipates the applause on those.

  • @blueshifter You know what the word means, right? For fuck's sake, it's a complement.

  • @GuitarGuy057 yay! a troll! hi troll! you want some troll biscuits, hmm? you want some yummy troll biscuits, hmm? [holds yummy troll biscuits over your troll snout. you can just smell em, but you can't reach em]

  • @blueshifter I may be troll, but not this time. You really are stupid for thinking underrated is an insult.

  • soooo underrated.

  • 79 people are mad that the Dry Cleaner is closed

  • He looks like Tina Fey.

  • He did appear on an episode of " that 70's show " ...but his stand-up..still stands up.... He was always weird in his delivery, but , he killed me.....

  • 77 people ran into Reese

  • 77 people didn't miss when they walked into Target. :p

  • Is he dead?

  • @Pochoyourdaddy yes he is

  • oh man hes like poet

  • too bad Dave misses this :S

    was his son born that day or something?

  • The audience is kinda retarded.

  • @X3QT0R it's a letterman audience, they laugh at the top ten lists... nuff said

  • He is a fucking genius. I love this guy.

  • 76 people who dislike this can go fuck themselves with a bob wired baseball bat

  • "An error occurred. Please try again later".

    "A Message of inspiration by your friends at you tube."

  • Finally, a frilly toothpick joke. Mitch, come back, you are needed.

  • I'm Hungry... and I want 2000 of something....

  • 75 people walked to a dry cleaner at 3 am and never got their apologies.

  • I tried to walk into Target...but I MISSED.

  • i'm sorry, reese, i didn't think i would ever run into you.

  • Was the brass player drunk or something?

  • thumbs up if they gave you the donate it to charity slice.

  • Genius.

  • Awesome!

  • :ove you Mitch..why?

    Hard Hugs,

    Gemma

    Toronto

  • Reminds me of Al Loubel

    

  • xD I crack up so much listening to this guy.

  • How do you feel about Mitch Hedberg? I'm for em!!! :)

  • @xRapidDavex

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they have a sense of humor

  • @xRapidDavex you wouldn't get it.

  • What candy bar you gettin? That one...and every one on the bottom row!!! lol

  • thumbs up for the joan jett song at the beginning!

  • he recycles his jokes the rice 2000, washer not being open, tanning instead of teeth whitening, the club sandwich. and ive only seen 2 youtube clips on him so far and he did them word for word no change up. what is this? amature nite in dixey? the great greg giraldo never recycled jokes and if they were similar atleast he had the decency to change the story details a bit.

  • @myPAINisSELFchosen85

    Only Mitch is funnier than Greg.

    Different styles too. But whatever. Dislike if you dislike.

  • @myPAINisSELFchosen85 ah man, i really hope youre kidding. do you think that when a comedian goes on tour and does 6 shows a week, each show has entirely different material? thats like going to a bands concert two nights in a row and complaining they did some of the same songs. greg giraldo used the same material on various shows, just like any other comic.

  • @myPAINisSELFchosen85 you say decency, when both of then are dead... uhh yea idk it just seems you are asking too much of dead guys, let them just chill now

  • @myPAINisSELFchosen85 his recycled jokes are funny. You must be a comedian?

  • Some people say, "you are what you eat", but I never dared to go through with that theory.

  • @jessebarrett98 You mean Sawyer from Lost looks like him..Bombombommmmm! lol

  • this guy could find good work with lil wayne :p

  • what's elvis costello doing pinch hitting for dave?

  • @curlz8015 - that was awesome. :)

  • @raisume24 - yeah Mitch was a great comedian. My favorite still. Wish he had stuck with us longer. He has 3 cd's. If you can find them they are AWESOME. :)

  • this guy is fucking hilarous/.. =) I'm glad my friend denise showed him to me. THANK YOU KITTY!!! ^_^

  • 4:03

  • he reminds me of kurt cobain

  • amazing lol

  • I used to like Mitch, I still do but I used to too.

  • @Curlz8015 haaa! hell yeah man, me too.

  • I can't believe he missed the 'put them in a circle' bit. xP

  • R.I.P Mitch

  • wheres letterman??

  • Fuck man! He looks like a dyke in this one.

  • Wow how refreshing!! These are jokes I never saw him do before! I thought I'd seen everything he did.

    RIP Mitch... you are a legend... love you man

  • Jeez, Letterman has aged a lot in the last 8 years.

  • he doesn't look the same....

  • @amandaamaniac no facil hair, and no sunglasses, hair style a big different too

  • how you feel about frilly toothpicks? i'm for 'em.. lmao

  • I never heard such a style before, very original, though I don't find him very funny, maybe his intonation doesn't help, or maybe I have to get used to his style

  • his style is alot like demetri martin. r.i.p. man

  • @JMcMac21 You mean Demetri Martin's style is a lot like Mitch's.

  • @Methecos oh yea, true.

  • Holy shht i never knew he died

  • RIP

  •  Was he wearing white gloves?

  • No disrespect; I never really found him funny, but knowing that he had anxiety issues and self-medication issues and died of an acidental overdose explains a lot.

  • @sketchguy2006

    He died of heart failure, whether the cocaine that was in the speedball that he thought was heroin was the catalyst for his heart giving out is impossible to say.

    Mitch was, by all accounts, a responsible addict as opposed to a drug abuser. Prior to the vast array of heart medications that we currently have cardiopulmonary care relied solely on opiates which leads me to wonder if Mitch was self medicating his physical condition as opposed to an emotional or mental condition?

  • FUNNY= watch?v=5TUgnMywuOg

  • he was pretty good at coming up with jokes.  he could have slowed it down a little though and let people laugh in between jokes.

  • Lil Wayne could learn a lot about punchlines from this guy.

  • I miss you mitch. :( I'm still bummed my mom didnt let me see you that day, and she said "it's ok, you'll get another chance" and then I didn't.

  • "Yeah yeah yeah, my mom likes those applause breaks" - :)

  • Awesome. Few new jokes for me

  • @ Quickersale, it was his last performance because he died you fucking moron. His jokes are all common sense jokes. If you don't find humor in them or understand them then you're an idiot. Mitch is a damn genius with stand up comedy.

    R.I.P Mitch!

  • Mitch Hedberg jokes are good when I want to laugh and listen to 2000 of something

  • @quarknugget 2000 of something was the rice ,rite ?

  • 72 people don't like frilly toothpicks!

  • * I saw a commercial on late night TV, it said,"Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were.

  •  * I like wearing necklaces, because it lets me know when I'm upside down.

  • a little late, but happy birthday mitch. taken from us way before your time, you'll always be a legend to me though.

  • Alright so I love Mitch Hedberg but does he have any other material. He was a comic for a long time but I can't find any videos of him doing any material that's not on either of his cd's or his comedy central special. His comedy central special material overlaps with the cd's too, so in his entire career he wrote less than 2 hours of jokes. Any hedberg fans know any videos where he is doing different material they could refer me too. Maybe I'm spoiled because I own both cd's already.

  • @sfbayarea21 Mitch Hedberg has forgotten more jokes due to drugs than most comedians have come up with in their lifetime.

  • He was great!

    I love how he can make great jokes without bashing people like so many others do.

    Clever humor.
