MITCH HEDBERG IS DEAD

Mitch Hedberg pioneered the oft-neglected subgenre of Stoner Comedy, a brand of stand-up chock full of one-liners, stupid wordplay, and subject matter often involving food, candy, drugs, and more food. Similar in spirit to earlier comics such as Steven Wright and Henny Youngman, Hedberg's "outsider" slant won him a good-sized cult following before his untimely drug-related death in 2005 at the age of 37. This guy cracks me up. If you smoke weed or are just entertained by really mundane, stupid things (I'm in the second group), you should check Mitch out.

Here are 2 live albums from the guy who brought you such classics as:

"A burrito is a sleeping bag for ground beef."

and

"I went to a record store, they said they specialized in hard-to-find records. NOTHING WAS ALPHABETIZED!"

and

"My belt holds up my pants and my pants have belt loops that hold up the belt. What the fuck’s really goin on down there? Who is the real hero?"

and

"My girl works at Hooters, in the kitchen."

and

"If you're watchin' a parade, make sure you stand in one spot, don't follow it, it never changes. And if the parade is boring, run in the opposite direction, you will fast-foward the parade."

and

"'I like sandwiches with three pieces of bread'. 'Me too!'. 'We should form a club.'

and

"I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too."

and

"I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long."

and

"I ordered a chicken sandwich but I think the waitress misunderstood me because she said, 'How would you like your eggs?' So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said 'Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked and then cut up then put onto a grill then put onto a bun. Shit, it's gonna take awhile. I don't have time, scrambled!'"

and

"I think the entrance to Target should have people splattered all around."

and

"If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be fucked up."
