"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana... I said 'No, but I want a regular banana later, so... yeah.'" Favorite Mitch Hedberg joke of all time, it's so gloriously stupid.

Mitch had such an interesting way of looking at things. His delivery is a shy, reserved one, because he never really thought he was good. But he was. This isn't necessarily a strong show by the man, but make no mistake, he was funny.

[@duckystudios2564]

Actually this delivery is caused more out of his use of drugs namely cocaine. When he first started he was much more confident and wasn’t on drugs. As time went by he became a completely different person on and off the stage. His original stage personality was cool and calm with slow and concise delivery. By now he has developed a stammer and is fidgety all the time on and off the stage. He was another great comedian gone too soon from drugs.

[@jeremyc9593]

I don't know why, but he reminds me of Kurt Cobain. Both were shy, reserved geniuses, and both really stood out from the crowd of their respective professions.

[@jamescthompson4972]

There's lots of brilliant comics...just different kinds . He's a very unique comic and a legend for sure. That said i know it sucks his career was cut very short but he never stood anywhere near George Carlin or Bill Hicks , Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Louis CK etc

[@dannyfingersmusic]

John Cristopher I've seen all of them live that you've mentioned except Bill Hicks they couldn't even pretend to be as good and funny as him live. I've seen it it's like magic you can't explain. Live when he was on fire was unmatched the tv spots show his act but they don't capture the magic in the rooms when he was at his height.

Man...i need to see some live comedy. I've seen countless live concerts but no big comedy acts in person...not even Seinfeld and he does the rounds through every second town...shit i've seen Bob Dylan a few times waaaay past his prime i might add and i've never even seen Jerry That musta been awsome seeing Carlin live...sucks that the best at everything are dead Have any links of more Hedberg stuff to recommend ?

One of the things -- one of the many things -- that made Mitch Hedberg so unconventional and yet so funny was the emphasis he put on the unexpected syllable. He often didn't just accent the one you'd expect, but one or two more, as in "YO-PLAIT." "TENN-is BALLS," "SEM-i CIR-cle." It just worked.

Vulgarity is NOT FUNNY, FOXX, MURPHY after him, and many others (Dice Clay) use vulgarity for it's purely shock value...it gets old, fasT!! Now Carlin's 7 words routine; though it did use vulgrity, did so by enticing people to think about the world we live in, why can't these words be used in TV, and of course Lenny Bruce opened that door for many other comedians that followed. Bruce and Carlin were not just comedians, though both were at times hillarous, but were social activist, holding up a mirror to hypocrosy and "social norms"!
