"I didn't lose a leg in Vietnam to so I can serve some hot dogs to teenagers". "You have both of your legs Frank". "I know, I did NOT lose a leg in Vietnam". So funny.

Saw Steven live once. It was a great show. He opened by walking out on stage and picked up a guitar. With the spotlight on him, he saw the shine off the guitar move around the audience, and said "that's weird, it didn't do that in the store...". Set the guitar back down, and never touched it again the entire set.

I love their surreal, deadpan humor. They approach the world in such a skewed way: both even have jokes about gravity in this compilation. Hedberg was an authentically nervous version of his true self on stage, whereas Wright seems more like he's adopted a comic persona. You can see Wright sometimes fighting to not break character by chuckling at his jokes, whereas Hedberg openly laughs at his own material.

“Seashell collection” has always been my favorite example of Wright's material. It, IMO, perfectly epitomizes his style. I first heard it at one of his performances in the 80s, and, just as you describe it, there was that slight delay followed by illumination, a mini-epiphany. Experiencing his performance was a pure pleasure.

Steven's delivery seems forced. Trying to enunciate a lot while trying to act like it is incidental mumbling. It just doesn't work. His jokes are often good.

One of the great things about Mitch was his behavior outside of the one-liners. His laughter--at his own joke--was infectious, and sometimes drew more laughs (of delight) from the audience than the joke itself. He would plead with the audience to like him more, and then show gratitude when they responded. He was magic.

These two are/were absolute artisans at this particular style, and what's great is that if you were to listen to the album of one, you do not more or less get the same experience as you would listening to the other. Hedberg's was far more fun, like something you could tell at a party to make quick friends, whereas Wright's style is far more cerebral and abstract. The biggest difference ultimately would be when they do self-effacing humor - Hedberg made himself out as an underdog during those times (like he was bombing at another show), whereas Wright made himself sound like an alien who attempted to interact with human beings slightly before it was ready.

I remember seeing Steven Wright on the tv as a kid. The one joke I always remember is, "I went into the General Store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specific.". For some reason, I never heard of Mitch Hedberg, probably because he was doing the rounds in the late 90s and I wasn't following stand-up as much then. I only found him because he comes up when you search for Steven on KZbin. I think they're both great. Credit to Mitch for having to make sure he didn't use one of Steven's observations, of which there are hundreds.

Mitch Hedberg and Steven Wright were the first two standup comedians I identified with. Not just because of their styles and approaches to the one-liners and non-sequiturs, but because I thought they seemed awkward onstage. And with me, being socially awkward and sometimes shy, I related to them so much and still do. They're two of the best and still a couple of my favorite comedians.
