See topic summary.

Apparently you wouldn't know funny if it slapped you in the face with a sea bass.

The majority of the population think that he was funny. If you ever are sitting around thinking "Why does 99% of the population think something is good?" maybe it's because it actually is and you're the weird guy that disagrees.

I hate your statement.

And I don't think he's very funny.

I find it hard to believe people can't see the humor in not only his jokes, but his delivery.

I'm glad I don't hang you with some of you, you're probably dull as fuck.

Personally I think the opposite. If you think his jokes are funny, you're dull as fuck... or stoned, whatever.

I fucking hate people who don't use vowels.

No, republicans tend to be the ones that go against what the majority wants. Just take a look at how Bush got elected. Also, look how the war is still going on without any real idea of when it's ending even though the majority of the US supports a quicker withdrawal or at the very least some sort of timetable on when it will be done with.

his restaurant bit "Dufrane party of 2, Dufrane party of 2, nobody shows up so they move on the next name on the list "Johnson part or 4 Johnson party of 4" "what happened to the Dufranes? How can anyone eat at a time like this when the Dufranes are missing, it should be "Johnson party of 4, you can eat once you find the Dufranes"

not word for word but the bit is fucking GOLD.

 

[TheVrolok]

I thought he was great.

Aww don't be such a hater.

Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger." Here's a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?

Haha okay that's pretty good. I don't even get the wino joke above.

really?

do you not know where wine comes from?

 

[coldmeat]

I didn't get the wino joke because I didn't know what a wino was, and I thought the "man you have to wait" was Mitch being disappointed about having to wait for his grapes. It would have been easier to understand if I had heard someone say it.

 

[Vehemence]

he was fucking funny

The postings of his jokes in this thread brings back memories of when I first heard the jokes. They still make me laugh.

I love his bit about the dry cleaners being closed @ 3am. Classic.

I like his bit about Ritz crackers

"You buy a box of Ritz crackers, and it shows you all these pictures of things you put on the Ritz crackers. Like cheese, and ham. Hey man! I just want the crackers! I'm not looking for little edible plates!"

or something like that.

also, the doughnut and the receipt. good stuff.

oh yeah, great bit

"I dressed up for the CD". "Ahhright".

If I were to make a scale from 1 to 10 he would appear at about 7.5. Pretty funny, but never "I'm can't breathe I'm laughing so hard" funny, and sometimes he drops off and you have to wait for him to finish berating himself (sometimes this is funny too) to get back to the good stuff.

 

[Descartes]

I think he's hilarious. His delivery is great, and it's a large part of the humor.

 

[zinfamous]

oh man, i Never saw this one before:

I was watching one of those fishing shows on TV. I like how they catch the fish then release it. They don't actually want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late.
"Where were you?"
"I got caught."
"Liar. Let me see the inside of your lip."

Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.

Yeah there are definitely moments where his one-liners are kind of meh... but I still laugh at just the delivery, as like you say.. he'll cut out, make some quips, and continue. Overall I'd say I laugh a hell of a lot. On average, I'd agree with about a 7.5 or 8, but that's almost cutting him down. Because the amount I laugh would equal close to a 9, just because some parts I'm almost falling out of my chair.

The Robin Williams HBO special like 5 years back just had me almost hyperventilating a lot of the show though. That was a 10. Haven't looked to see if he has all that many other specials. Should do that one day.

Yeah, Robin Williams Live on Broadway is my favorite comedy special of all time--at least it was when I watched it the first time.

Love Mitch Hedberg, though.

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

Dude he's funny. his delivery is what makes him funny. His delivery!!!
