Mitch Hedberg Dead?
Friday, April 1st, 2005 - 5:44am
Is Mitch Hedberg dead? He's a pretty good comedian for those who don't know. His official website doesn't mention anything but from that links provided by defamer there are obituaries on a lot of sites and apparently in newspapers. So is Mitch Hedberg dead or is this just a really really screwed up April fools day joke?
Also remind me never to die on April fools day. Imagine going on being dead for an extra day because noone believes you died.

Oh, c'mon. You suck one c*ck and you're forever known as a c*cksucker.



A quick search brought up this article, which btw., was posted on March 31st.
Was he that stoner dude that CC had on a few months ago? If so, he was alright but he wasn''t the next johnny carson or anything. If not then I don''t know who he is and really I can''t bring myself to care 1000''s of people die everyday from drugs; move on.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
Indeed.

This guy cracked me up, sorry to see him go.
Mmm. Bummer.

Yeah, that''s a damn shame... I wonder what the cause was. ''Cause ain''t nobody dying from a marijuana overdose.

One article mentioned he had a heroin arrest in the past, but also that he had a heart defect from birth, so maybe drug related maybe not. Either way it''s a damn shame imo.

I hope not, it''s in pretty poor taste if it is. Pauly Shore faked his own death a few years ago also and it pretty much killed what little of a career he had left. The funny thing was they made a movie about it and most people barely cared if he was dead.
If it''s true, then R.I.P. Mitch. I still laugh my ass off when I listen to his CD which I think I''ll pop in right now.

He actually did that? The movie was really sorta funny, in a quirky kind of way. I didn''t think he actually tried to fake his own suicide though.

I discovered Mitch a few months ago during a random Stand-up comedian Mp3 download session. His pacing and offbeat observations made me an instant fan. I am very sad about this!
Politely rude. Briskly vague. Firmly uninformative.
Ya, is true. Died yesterday and his manager was on the radio show I listen to in the morning. He did commercials for Jimmy Johns subs here in Chicago as well.

Mitch Hedberg quotes
Compiled from the Internet
I tried walking into a Target, but I missed.
I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks. And it was way to literal for ME.
I would imagine if you understood Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.
I was walking down the street with my friend and he said ""I hear music."" As though there''s any other way to take it in. You''re not special. That''s how I receive it too...I tried to taste it, but it did not work.
I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, ""You''re gonna have to move, you''re blocking a fire exit."" As though if there was a fire, I wasn''t gonna run. If you''re flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.
You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don''t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.
I haven''t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. ""Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Boy, you really like Tide.""
I''m against picketing, but I don''t know how to show it.
This shirt is dry clean only. Which means...it''s dirty.
I love blackjack. But I''m not addicted to gambling. I''m addicted to sitting in a semi circle.
One time a guy handed me a picture of himself and he said. ""Here''s a picture of me when I was younger."" Every picture of you is of when you were younger. Here''s a picture of me when I''m older. How''d you pull that off? Let me see that camera.
I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs.
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
My friend said to me, ""You know what I like? Mashed potatoes."" I was like, ""Dude, you have to give me time to guess. If you''re going to quiz me you have to insert a pause.""
Thanks Trip! I enjoyed those and shared them with friends.
More Mitch (my faves):
Someone handing you a flyer is like them saying, ""Here, *you* throw this away.""
I like rice. Rice is great if you''re hungry and want 2000 of something.
Maybe it is just Bigfoot''s nature to be blurry.
I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut...I don''t need a receipt for the doughnut - I''ll just give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don''t need to bring ink and paper into this. I can''t imagine a scenario in which I would need to prove that I bought a doughnut...Some skeptical friend, don't even act like I didn''t buy a doughnut, I''ve got the documentation right here...oh wait it''s back home in the file...under ""D"", for doughnut.
I wrote a letter to my dad - I wrote, ""I really enjoy being here,"" but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so I crossed it out and wrote, ""I rarely drive steamboats, dad - there''s a lot of sh*t you don''t know about me. Quit trying to act like I''m a steamboat operator."" This letter took a harsh turn right away...
I hope the next time I move I get a real easy phone number. Something like, 222-2222. I would say sweet. People would say, ""Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?"" I would say, ""Press 2 for a while, and when I answer, you will know that you have pressed 2 enough.
In England Smoky the Bear is not the forest fire prevention representative. They have Smacky the Frog. It''s just like a bear, but it''s a frog. I think it''s a better system, I think we should adopt it. Because bears can be mean, but frogs are always cool. Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought ''man, I''d better play dead. Here comes that frog...'' You never say here comes that frog in a nervous manner. It''s always optimistic. Hey here comes that frog, al-right. Maybe he''ll come near me so I can pet him, and stick him in a mayonnaise jar, with a stick and a leaf, to recreate what he''s used to. And I''m pretty sure I''d have to punch some holes in the lid, because he''s damn sure used to air. Then I can observe him, and he won''t be doing much in his 16 ounce world.
When you go to a restaurant on the weekends and it''s busy they start a waiting list. They start calling out names, they say ""Dufresne, party of two. Dufresne, party of two."" And if no one answers they''ll say their name again. ""Dufresne, party of two, Dufresne, party of two."" But then if no one answers they''ll just go right on to the next name. ""Bush, party of three."" Yeah, what happened to the Dufresnes? No one seems to give a sh*t. Who can eat at a time like this - people are missing. You f*ckers are selfish....the Dufresnes are in someone''s trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths. And they''re hungry. That''s a double whammy. Bush, search party of three, you can eat when you find the Dufranes.
I hope Mitch''s heaven has cinnamon bun scented incense and that it wakes his roommates up with unrealistic expectations. Bye Mitch, you''ll be missed.

Yeah, I heard about this... I wouldn''t say he was entirely funny with just his material. But his delivery was just GREAT! There was just something about his voice, and the way he told it that still cracks me up, even when I''ve heard most of it before. I''ll miss him. But yes, he was definitely into drugs.

Same here.
And agreed Demos, that his comedy really wasn''t amazing, it was just fairly clever, but his delivery made the entire thing a riot.
I watched him a lot, now I think I''ll have to pick up his cd''s.

I just bought the CD ""Mitch All Together"" a few months ago, and I really recommend it-- it''s a good comedy CD, but then they threw in a bonus DVD that I had no idea about, with everything they ever played on Comedy Central! What a bargain! And to boot, they have an unedited version of his special, which you learn was a disaster for the first twenty minutes, so bad they had to edit the hell out of it and add laughs, but you get to see how he dealt with it, which is impressive. I just thought I''d throw in a little review.
You know what really sucks about this? It''s bad enough to die right next to April Fool''s Day, but try dying in the brief space between Terri Shiavo and the freakin Pope. I can''t imagine who you''d have to be to get your death on CNN this weekend.
Damn-- I am trying to blank that avatar because I realize it''s somebody else''s, but I don''t have one of my own and can''t seem to convince the system to let me have no avatar! Help!
Yeah Mitch was awesome, he was all about delivery. He is the first comic I really liked since Bill Hicks, its sad to see him go.
Wow, I was really hoping this wasn''t true when I came across this thread... Mitch Hedberg was by far my favorite comic and pretty much became the favorite comic to any one of my friends I''d play his cd for. It''s really sad to see him go. RIP man, you''ll be missed.
