I love how genuine he is. He bombs openly and admits it, then sits there and genuinely laughs at his own jokes. I just love his demeanor.

It's a bummer that Mitch never got to do a set with ten million of himself in the crowd. He would be the perfect audience for himself. EDIT: Actually ten million is probably too many. A few thousand Mitch Hedbergs. There, that's the right amount.

Sometimes you’re just too funny to be living on this earth. RIP

@@carltonthepug Yea you are.

[@zodarian6705]

How awesome would it have been to be able to see this guy as an old man? How much funnier would have been? A true legend in comedy.

[@noeldown1952]

George Carlin was a good example of that. Went from doper humour with a touch of absurdity (good example is his "what time is it" routine); to the firebrand we all knew and loved in his later years. Mitch would've been similar I guess.

[@pipsantos6278]

Start out observing and discovering humor on people end up discovering there are really SOB's who should be made materials for comedy. "George Bush...even the name..."

[@TayR0C]

At least we still have Steven Wright

[@samg6940]

Even now in the age of twitter and vine. I feel like his style is so well suited to the sense of humor that dominated the 2010s. I would've loved to see what he'd be doing in that environment.

[@JW-qf2fx]

people like Mitch don't get that old man

[@rossrobertson674]

I saw this man back in 2001 and didn't realize it was him until years later

[@funbrandi2603]

My ex loved this dude so much he wrote a comment about how awesome Mitch was and how bummed he was he passed on a fb page or something and his family wrote back a huge response!! They agreed with how great he was, how sad they are too and thanked him for his kind words. It was really really cool, my ex was thrilled.

[@RiotousRaichu]

You miss your ex huh

[@mistermaggie]

Mitch, you used to be my favorite comedian. You still are, but you used to, too!

[@HazardJack]

mistermaggie well played good sir...

[@gregdavid853]

mistermaggie awesome

[@mtsilvagt]

+misterMag, to, too ! 😎👍✌

[@simoncollins69]

Also he was massively underated when he was alive. He's the Kurt Cobain of comedy except he is talented

[@marting4941]

So good

[@JohnDoe-md2sb]

Such amazing delivery. Hard to believe he wasn't comfortable in front of crowds. He was better than most of today's comedians. You are missed by all of us. Rip, Mitch. ✌🤣👍

[@iamryan9234]

Was that Ralphie May laughing at the end?

[@TheUnholyPosole]

Haha, it is.

[@prettytoney36]

Rip to those guys. They both make me laugh my ass off

[@ProjectRedfoot]

I was just about to post a comment like, 7:25 that guy loves life Wow, though. So cool!

[@ANGLINARMY]

Ralphie!

[@iamryan9234]

Rest In Peace, Ralphie! We lost one of the best

[@dharmabeachbum6330]

LOL. "Shake to the best of your ability."

[@jasonmckay2769]

From Minnesota. No wonder Canadians love him.

[@chsftball57]

Anyone else notice that was Ralphie May laughing his head off at the end of the video?

So much massive potential , in 3 years he skyrocketed. And than the OD , my favorite comedian of all time as a kid and still love him .. I went to the bakery and bought a donut , he gave me a reciept , I said my man , we do not need to bring ink and paper into this

[@abalamdepaimon6891]

Everytime i use use my Cheese shredder to grind up some cheddar cheese, i say to myself "sponge ruiner" and giggle. Still got a self burned CD of one of his specials, and always have it along in my car. When i feel roadragey, i just pop in that disk and i'm all good. Miss you Mitch...

[@wasser-man3082]

I like his doped-head kind of humour - really funny

[@michaelmira-lopez1660]

Also, you're Canadian aren't you?

[@TheMarleyDavidson]

He definitely was.

[@ShempDavidNiven]

The best thing about the late great Mitch Hedberg - besides his comedy, natch - is that he looks and sounds almost EXACTLY like two or three different guys I grew up with. In fact I would bet money that a lot of you - maybe most of you - could say the same thing. And that sense of familiarity (which of course is impossible) always lends these clips a bittersweet edge. It's part the sadness of his early passing, and part my own long-departed youth. Just weird.

[@plev10]

Never saw this one before. That was before I saw it. Now I have seen it after. Thanks for uploading before it was after.

[@henkvisser9741]

That reminds me of a joke, but I wont tell it because then you already know the joke.

[@michaelmira-lopez1660]

That is very Hedbergian, my man. I'm digging it.

[@stephenbru]

lol....

[@travisburton1842]

lol nice. in Honor of the man!

[@CJFabes]

I used to like this video. I still do, but I used to too

[@screwgogleplus7105]

RIP Mitch, you were and always will be the best!

[@stephenbruce4052]

I feel like i'm playing catch up not the condiment .........WOW Amazing , Pay it Forward xo

[@sfincione2000]

He was funny, sure, but I wouldn't go so far as to say he was the best. I mean, his best buddy, Doug Stanhope is better. He kills it. But it's true that a lot of comedians really liked Mitch Hedberg. I guess it's a personal preference thing. I'm not a huge fan of one-liners. That said, he's one of the best at that format. Jimmy Carr is another guy that's in the same vein, just a little bit edgier.

[@gregmitchell2328]

Mitch is probably my favorite comedian ever and this was a great set, I feel like the audience really were into it.

[@johngililland6166]

I like Mitch Hedberg, because he has a lot of free time.

[@TheSpock23]

Spinning chicken carcasses make my mouth water.

[@anb7408]

He took simple stuff and made it funny as hell! God I miss Mitch!

[@Travenspear8]

I love how much he giggles at his own jokes

[@dang1861]

Comedy is taking something from every day life and making it funny. Mitch was a master at that

[@bigboss24T1]

Mitch was a genius in so many ways: he rationed that little cup of water to counteract his cotton mouth just long enough to get through the show!

[@JosephPerrotta-db9xp]

Seems like odeing and genius go together like chocolate and peanut butter

[@helterskelter1178]

Saw Mitch in '03 opening for Dave Attell and Lewis Black in Portland. Never laughed so hard in my damn life. RIP Mr Hedberg.

[@tleeg74]

Damn....that show must have been epic. Love Mitch and Dave.

[@jamescarter3196]

I've watched a lot of Hedberg but have never really been 'into' his work. I wonder if a live performance might have changed my mind, if I'd been there to 'feel the energy' because it may sound silly but some artists are like that.

[@anywaythewindblows8912]

Same! I was able to get him to dig a CD for me

[@toddc.5464]

Just discovered this chap... and I must say he had me laughing pretty good...his delivery and the way he made you think were unique.. it’s a shame we lost this talent at such a young age and I imagine the laughter he would be bringing to a new generation... RIP Mitch..gone but not forgotten!

[@Scotty.Bippin]

Legend, you are missed dearly. 💚
