I really really really really hope this is an April 1 joke, because he was definately my favorite comedian.

It'd be a hell of a stupid joke to pull :dunno:

His Boston shows for this weekend have indeed been cancelled, so either he's screwing over hundreds of ticket holders or he really did die. I'm thinking the latter.

NOOO MITCH DONT DIE!!! Hes probably my favorite (working, or was working) comedian.


I think bigfoot is blurry, thats the problem. Its not the photographers fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And thats extra scary to me because theres a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside. Run hes fuzzy get out of here!


Alcoholism is a disease, but its the only one you can get yelled at for having. Goddamnit Otto your an alcoholic! Goddamnit Otto you have lupus!... One of those two doesnt sound right.

"I opened-up a yogurt, underneath the lid it said, "Please try again." because they were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I opened the yogurt wrong. ...Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me... "Come on Mitchell, don't give up!" An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top."

And my favorite:

"I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Man, you really like Tide..."

Take it easy, funny guy.

Unfortunitly it is March 31st, and not April 1st.
I woke up to Howard Stern this morning, Mitch is a frequent guest; and this was the first thing they talked about. I was stricken with grief, I had a lump in my throat, I couldn't beleive it!!
Alot of people don't understand his type of Comedy, the sarcastic One-Liners. I love his CD "Mitch All Together".

"If you find yourself lost in the woods; Fuck it, build a house."

"The commercial for Diet Dr. Pepper says it tastes just like regular Dr. Pepper; Well then they fucked up!"

He is my favorite comedian I can't believe he's dead thats absolutely horrible. No one could perform stand up (or sit-down) like he could.

"I think they could take sesame seeds out of the market, and I wouldn't even care. I can't imagine 5 years from now sayin damn remember sesame seeds? What Happened All the buns are blank. Their going to have to change the Mcdonalds song Two all beef patties, special sauce lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a ........bun"

I love this thread for one reason, all the fans of him are reading peoples jokes of his that they put in and we are the only ones who really understand them because of the way he delivers them.

If you dont know who he is go buy a cd! Or download it illegally, who cares?

I don't think its a joke. Articles are popping up about his death. Fuckin damniit! That guy rocked! What a sad day...

Heres some quotes from Mitch Hedberg.

I got an ant farm. Them fellas didn't grow s**t.

I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load s**t into a truck.

I got my hair highlighted, because I felt some strands were more important than others.

I had a stick of Carefree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.

I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Boy, you really like Tide."

I got in an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, because I tried to walk out, and had to slam the flap.

I type a 101 words a minute. But it's in my own language.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get outta here.

I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that.

My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She made it half way. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set.

I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be f****d up.

I like vending machines, because snacks are better when they fall.

Pickles are cucumbers that sold out.

2-in-1 is a bulls**t term, because 1 is not big enough to hold 2. That's why 2 was created.

I know a lot about cars. I can look at a car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.

This shirt is dry clean only. Which means...it's dirty.

At my hotel room, my friend came over and asked to use the phone. I said "Certainly." He said "Do I need to dial 9?" I say "Yeah. Especially if it's in the number. You can try four and five back to back real quick."

My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on, four billion! F**k. Seven. I need more dice."

I love blackjack. But I'm not addicted to gambling. I'm addicted to sitting in a semi circle.

I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time.

I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs.

I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.

The thing about tennis is: no matter how much I play, I'll never be as good as a wall. I played a wall once. They're f**king relentless.

I think Pringles initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. But Pringles is a laid back company. They said "F**k it. Cut em up."

A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

Because of Acid, I now know that butter is way better than margarine.

So, I sit at the hotel at night and I think of something that's funny. Or, If the pen is too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of wasn't funny.


You know that Pepperidge Farm bread, that stuff is fancy. That stuff is wrapped twice. You open it, and then still ain't open. That's why I don't buy it, I don't need another step between me and toast.


This product that was on TV was available for four easy payments of $19.95. I would like a product that was available for three easy payments and one complicated payment. We can't tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is going to hard.


You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don't want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.


I would imagine if you could understand Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.


I don't wear a watch because I want my arms to weigh the same. So if somebody asks me what time it is, I have to tell them something that is going on. "What time is it, Mitch?" "Uh, that guy is eating a hamburger." "S**t, I had to be somewhere..."


I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.

I played golf... I did not get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. That's way more satisfying...


I saw a human pyramid once. It was totally unnecessary.

This shirt is dry clean only. Which means... It's dirty.


I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, Don't even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home. ...Under "D".


My friend was walking down the street and he said, "I hear music." As if there is any other way of taking it in. I tried to taste it, but it did not work.

This is really sad. He was a very funny man, and I hope he rests in peace.

I just noticed that mitchhedberg.net now has a suspended account. too much traffic I guess.

Question: why has CNN not reported anything on their website about his death.
