Mitch Hedberg

I just saw on comedy central that he has a DVD out. I've only seen him once, but thought he was pretty damn funny. I'm thinking about checking this out, and was wondering if anyone else had already seen it.

Strategic Grill Locations is one the of the funniest comedy CD's I have ever heard.
I'll be picking the DVD up for sure.

Thanks, was wondering what this dudes name was

I picked up the combination CD/DVD. The CD was really good. I saw him live last year and only a small portion of it was repeated material. The DVD wasn't as good. I remember seeing the Comedy Central Presents and thinking it was pretty decent. That version is on the disc. There is also another full version that was edited down to get on TV. On this, you can see how he wasn't really using his best material and the crowd wasn't laughing too much. But it was funny to see his reaction to all this, as he did an extra half hour of material just to make the crowd laugh some more.

All in all, still worth the $12 I paid for it at Best Buy, and a must-have for any Mitch fans.

EDIT: Also included is a brief standup he did for Premium Blend.

Dola...

"If you have a friend who's a tightrope walker, and you're walkin down the street, and he trips over something.....that is completely unacceptable!!!"

"You should never tell someone they have a nice dimple...cause maybe they were shot in the face with a BB gun."

"If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be f*cked up!"

"I'm not addicted to gambling. I'm just addicted to sitting in a semicircle."

Is he the weird, long-haired guy with the sunglasses?

Pringles is a pretty laid back company. You know, originally they were supposed to make tennis balls. So the day the balls were supposed to show up, a truck full of potatoes showed up instead. So the president, he said "fuck it, cut em up".

"I like the Kit Kat candy bar. Have you noticed that it has the words "Kit Kat" printed in it? That robs you of chocolate!!! That is a clever chocolate saving technique."

"I was walking down the street at 2 am, and I came upon a dry cleaner. There was a sign in the window that said, 'Sorry, we're closed.' Why should they be sorry? It's 2 am, and you are a dry cleaner! It would be completely unacceptable for me to expect you to be open."

Suicane75 · 03-19-2004, 04:25 PM

"I wish i could play little league now, id kick some f'n ass."

"Koala bears are so F'n cute, why do they have to be so far away from me?"

"I've always wanted to have a briefcase handcuffed to my wrist......it's not a full joke, it's filler."

"I was in a park and I saw a kid flying kite and he was excited, i dont know why, it's a kite, that's what it's supposed to do. I would be impressed if he were flying a chair, you have to run like a motherfucker."

"I was walking down the street with my friend and he said "I hear music" as if theres any way you can take it in, your not special, that's how i recieve it too".

"I bought a donut and they gave me a recipt for the donut, i dont need a recipt for the donut, i dont need a recipt, ill just give you the money, you give me the donut, I just cant imagine the scenario where ill have to prove that I bought a donut."

BLAST! I can't find it on iTunes or Napster. I'm going to have to actually get into my car and go to the store! The horror!!

Suicane75 · 03-20-2004, 12:27 AM

Just listening to the album tonight, his style of speech totaly makes the jokes, he uses inflection as a tool so well. Think of slightly more upbeat, but stoned Steven Wright.

You can't please all of the people all of the time. Last night, all those people were at my show.
