My favourite Mitch Hedberg joke: “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, but I didn't know what the hell they were!”
What I really appreciate it is the quality especially the Late Night material how it is DVD quality instead of from a VHS tape recorded in mono in EP mode. I appreciate the others that dig up this material but this channel brings new life to it.
Mitch was a real ass dude. Every single one of his jokes still holds up, even the cellphone&pager bit. Might have heard his jokes several hundred times by now, they truly are legendary from a legendary man. Rest in Paradise
I am soooo glad this clip and well as other classic clips are being shared here. Mitch was a really funny comedian and it is great to see his stand up again. Thanks guys for putting these online
I am so glad I got see him live a few times while he was alive......the dude was a legendary comic.......who knows how much more greatness we could have had.
Interesting that you put Richard Lewis up there, he's amazing. I got to see him once live doing a full set when I was a teenager a long time ago. I remember it being hilarious. He brought notes that he'd refer to, like an outline, that he'd look at occasionally on the podium. But here's the funny thing.... he'd go off on a tangent, then he'd go off on another tangent off the first tangent, and he'd do this a few times (insanely hilarious of course), then when he was completely off course he'd re-orient himself by glancing back at his outline 😂 A unique process which worked perfectly. Stephen Wright, well he's the king of the deadpan delivery. Mitch had the straightforward comedy lines but a much more fun cadence and repoire with the audience. Good picks all!
@@soofitnsexy Um, what? Hundreds can't be "the greatest of all time". There can only be one . In any case, I very much disagree that there have been hundreds of stand-up comedians better than Mitch Hedberg...probably not even 50. But the GOAT? He's not even in the conversation.
"I have a roll of lifesavers in my pocket and pineapple is next." So simple and on paper it shouldn't read as a joke, but Mitch had a way of turning stuff like that into something funny.
I've been hit in the ass with a golf ball before...doesn't really hurt but it surprises the hell out of you...we used to play yard golf all summer in school...2 ravioli cans were the holes. The rusted remains might still be there if you could figure out where they are. I have a very rough idea where but ain't gwine dig my yard up to find them. If memory serves one way was par 4 the other 5 because of trees in the way.

Lmao! Good one. 👍
First time I laughed out loud at a RUclips comment.
Mine too !
Same here! The joke could have ended halfway through and still be funny, but just keeps giving.
Mitch was one of my favorites. Great delivery and great jokes like "rice is great when you're really hungry and you want 2000 of something."
He still is one of my favorites but he also used to. I think that's one of his jokes.
Oh I remember that one, so funny
This is what the world needs. Not war.
Whoever's job it is to dig up all these old clips literally has the best job ever. This is classic!
Check out Don Gillers great work on his yt channel. Puts such care into his compilations.

Are you Australian?
Do you own a dog house?
fat blunt, giant room of those film reel things labeled "Mitch, norm, carlin"
It almost makes me cry seeing how Mitch has fleeting moments of self-worth and happiness when he realizes how hard he's killing it.
Yeah, it is sad to see that. Imagine how he felt in the quiet hours. R IP Mitch
same ❤🎉
Way too accurate
The slow burn of the laughter is credit to his jokes. They keep getting funnier the more you think about them
I used to miss Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to, too.
Bless you for this comment.
❤️
Well played
😐
That's like giving him a HUG
I don't remember this set but I remember seeing Mitch at the store.
And maybe he was buying bread for ducks.
Nice callback to one of his jokes.
@@strats991 🙌🏾😁
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 no need to buy it. Word on the street is they eat free
Mitch Hedberg would've been the king of Twitter. Rest easy, Mitch.
Wow. He was gone before facebook too. I can't stand twitter but I would love some Hedberg tweets.
As he did not own a cellphone, he would have just said something smart and turned his head slightly.
Totally agree. The man was Legend
People say rest easy these days. They used to say Rest In Peace. So now, how am I supposed to rest!? Alright
Right on!
RIP Mitch Hedberg a brilliant comedian taken too soon I wish there was more footage of him but I love the stuff he left behind
Wtf. How did he die? He must've been fairly young. Bummer. The guy was funny.
@@waynej2608 I believe it was a mixture of undiagnosed heart condition and heroin
His style inspired my comedy. So did Letterman.
@@cheesezeppelin2281 wow did not know that
I’m digging the DEVO flower pot avatar...
RIP Mitch! ❤ Thank you for all the laughter you gave us.
He was one of the best! Such great jokes and super laid back delivery. Peace brother.
People say peace brother to me a lot. But I don’t know what they mean . Which defeats the purpose .
Don't you mean "two"? ✌😆
Absolutely a league of his own. Looked at a situation reversed it. Flipped it. Made it hilarious. Rocked it. RIP
I miss Mitch so much. We're still looking for the Dufresnes, Mitch!
"Busch, Search Party of four."
“Who can eat at a time like this?”
The Donner Party ate and still went missing.
One of the greatest to have ever done it. No one else like him.
Donut it ?
@@likearollingstone007 ...but why bring ink and paper into that transaction...?
done what????? dude hes a complete unknown
Mitch was a real ass dude.

Rest in Paradise
OMG HE WASN'T AN ASS 😮
“…and the next one up is pineapple!” My favorite joke in this video! 😂❤
"I love doing the show man" aww that was genuine 😊
Whoever is picking these clips is doing an amazing job, still gets a hard laugh out of me every time. Thank you and thanks to Mitch. RIP
He was so uniquely funny. So talented.
I got to meet Mitch after a show once. I used to be real glad I got to meet one of my comedy heroes. I still am but I used to too.
One of my all time favorite comedians!
It's not just that his jokes are funny; his delivery was great!
I am soooo glad this clip and well as other classic clips are being shared here. Mitch was a really funny comedian and it is great to see his stand up again. Thanks guys for putting these online
I don't have a girlfriend. I just have a girl that would be really mad if she heard me say that.
"A 10 and a 2, and maybe later a King"
That's some comedy gold right there. RIP Mitch
Hedburg on the Late Show with David Letterman is automatic like button pressed
“Slam the flap” had me laugh out loud. He was a funny dude
6:01
"I love doing this show, man."
"Love having you here."
"I love it."
Best exchange in Late Night's history.
in all history?
@@cd3949 prove me wrong!
I am so glad I got see him live a few times while he was alive......the dude was a legendary comic.......who knows how much more greatness we could have had.
Thanks for posting ! Mitch left us way too soon. RIP
mitch - gone too effin soon!
"ducks ain't supposed to BE downtown!" 💚
The best comedy set.
absolute legend
Such a sad, beautiful soul.
I think of Mitch every time I eat rice! Would love to hear his thoughts on current culture.
Also donuts, lifesavers, Pringles and Fritos.
" You better flip that Frito Dad!" 😸
Love these clips of him without his shades ❤❤
Great shame he passed so young, when he was on he was great, listen to his albums about twice a year, know every word, still love it.
Probably the GOAT of stoner humor.👈🌏
Whats sad is i am 58 and just discovered Mitch!!!So funny❤
Hey I remember this guy! He was at the store
buying Fritos.
mitch, richard lewis and steven wright are my holy trinity of stand ups.
I respect your taste in comics.
@@chasbodaniels1744 thank you.

@@VillemarMxO thanks for sharing. great story!
@@johnrunion5357 you're welcome! Thanks for your comment,.it fired up the old memory neurons! That was a fun night.
I never heard that last joke. I’m so stoked to hear new Mitch material..
Never forgotten
Unlike the Dufrenes. Dufrene, party of two?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Bush, search party of two!
Part of his success is because he's so damn charismatic! :) The kind of guy you'd love to hang out with.
The coolest ❤
So funny and clever. We lost a great one way too young.
At this point in his short career he had hit the sweet spot with his style. RIP funny guy.
Never heard his grilled frito joke, so great 😂
"Come on, dad. You know how I like those Fritos."
He was so great!!
Love and miss you, Mitchell Lee! ❤️✨
The greatest of all time. RIP
My condolences. I'm so sorry that you've never heard George Carlin.
at what???
@@adiinbar993 and hundreds others

Love the delayed reaction of the audience.
He was such a sweet man.
To think I was sitting at home in New Brunswick when I could have been at the stress factory watching Mitch.
We miss you, Mitch!
R. I. P.
he looks down because ironically he was said to have had stage fright
Such an original, brilliant mind....RIP, Mitch.
Early audiences weren't prepared for subtle "in your face" bluntness. I think that's why Mitch's jokes get better with time.
I think any unique artist takes some getting used to, or getting in sync with.
I repeat the jokes constantly ... and my name isn't even Pete.
I Got the documentation ryt here 😂😂😂
I’ve seen him at the store.
See i did this comedy in college and it went over like a skunk at a lawn party. But this guy gets props. I jealous.
I once guessed the number of jelly beans in a jar
Imagine Patrice, Mitch, and Giraldo in this age of podcasting and comedy. They would be dominating the scene.
Just how baked WAS Mitch when he did standup?
Variously. Sometimes he'd be slurring onstage, sometimes talking clearer and faster. He sometimes screwed up his jokes but he still made them funny
Exactly what I was thinking when he came out. He was moving all over the place.
You might've seen this next comedian at the store...
Sounds like Pacino in “Carlito’s Way.”
"I have a roll of lifesavers in my pocket and pineapple is next."
So simple and on paper it shouldn't read as a joke, but Mitch had a way of turning stuff like that into something funny.
Mitch finally caught up to his dreams
Hey, I love Pineapple Life Savers too! 😁
I used to miss Mitch. I still do, but I used to too.
I used to watch Mitch Hedberg clips, I still do, but I used to too
In all seriousnesss.. those Fritos with the grillmarks were the best. I say bring em back...
...and pineapple is next! 😂
Mitch was hilarious, a man gone too soon!!!
I used to love Mitch. I still do, but I used to, too.
Thank God for Mitch. If not for him we never would have found the Dufraines.
These jokes work because Mitch is such a likable guy.
so very good
2. good set
first time I heard the sponge joke 🤣
You do have to show all of your receipts when you're on house arrest.
"I haven't slept in two days, because that would be too long."
I used to take a lot of dumps, I still do but I used to too.
...he's like a cross between Norm and Theo
He always reminded me of Carlin with less words.
Droll is the word!
I know you're supposed to say "fore!" but I said "no way is that ball gonna hit that guy!"
gone too soon
Maybe his best set.
The 'Led Zeppelin' of stand up comedians.
i hadn't heard a few of these 🥹🥹 oh man, made my day ❤ RIP Mitch
I got hit by a golf ball once. Hadda see what Mitch had to say about it.
I was supposed to yell "Fore!", but I was too busy mumbling, "no way is it gonna hit that guy." 😂
I used to totally and but yes I do when I do can the mostly total: raisin bran crunch.
" rice is great if you like eating 10,000 of something."
I've been hit in the ass with a golf ball before...doesn't really hurt but it surprises the hell out of you...we used to play yard golf all summer in school...2 ravioli cans were the holes. The rusted remains might still be there if you could figure out where they are. I have a very rough idea where but ain't gwine dig my yard up to find them. If memory serves one way was par 4 the other 5 because of trees in the way.
I saw him at the store! Ya I used to like him.
*I say Mitch, you say what......???*
Wonder if Norm and Mitch ever gambled together...
I used to wish Mitch was still around....
I still do but I used to, too :-(
Uh Oh the bug man's here, I gotta hide!
I miss Mitch.
