Mitch Hedberg - Wkp:
Hedberg was set apart from his stand-up comedy peers by many traits, including his
unique pronunciations, his 'abrupt' style of punchline delivery, and an unusual stage presence. His jokes focused largely on wordplay, non-sequiturs, whimsy, and 'object' observations. His jokes rarely featured obscene material, although he would occasionally use a curse word as an exclamation.
Hedberg often performed with his head down and his long hair covering his face. It was not unusual for him to perform his entire routine with his back to the audience, or while lying on the floor.

rg said Who does he sound like? very distinct. and joe got it: Jimmy Johns commercial (wh I don't think I've heard). and turns out, that was him:
Hedberg could be heard as the voice of Jimmy John's radio advertisements during the months leading up to and after his death.


YouTube - Mitch Hedberg - 5 minutes special I laughed to tears near the end.
I ordered a chicken sandwich but I don't think the waitress understood me because she said How would you like your eggs? I tried to answer her anyhow, I said: Incubated. and then Raised. and then beheaded and plucked and cut up and Oh f--- this is going to take too long. I don't have time. Scrambled.
I think it's esp funny bcs his delivery, I love it. sort of an accent, sort of drugged out seeming? a drawling cadence.



YouTube - Mitch Hedberd - The Buoyancy of Citrus
I've got a oscillating fan at my house. The fan goes back in forth. It looks like the fan is saying Noo.
So I like to ask it questions that a fan would say no to.
say, Do you keep my hair in place?
Do you keep my documents in order?
Do you have three settings? Liar. My fan lied to me.
