R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg

"I was at a casino. I was minding my own business and this guy came up and said, 'you're going to have to move. You're blocking the fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't going to run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. And you can write that down and put a dash in front of it and put my name at the bottom."

-Mitch Hedberg


That's comedy folks, that's comedy.

I never heard of this guy before he died but I've read some of his jokes and they are funny. Oh well

No, I heard about it back when the speculation started that he had died, before there was even a report to validate it. I just felt the need to post it.

For the uninitiated
Many of his quotes in text. His delivery was part of the humor, but if you've never heard of him, check it out.

Lesser known Mitch quotes

 

[Ilmater]

This is my all-time favorite:

"I opened up a container of yogurt, and under the lid it said 'Please Try Again' because they were having a contest I was unaware of. But I thought I might have opened the yogurt wrong, or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me. 'C'mon, Mitchell, don't give up. Please try again. A message of inspiration from your friends at Yoplait. Fruit on the bottom, hope on top.'"
