Mitch Hedberg unfortunately died recently of a drug overdose (he had a weak heart), but his style of comedy was hilarious. Somewhere between Lenny Bruce and Steven Wright, Hedberg's jokes were apparently random stream-of-consciousness thoughts.
"They say 7-Up is made with lemon and lime, but there is a lot more to it than that."
"I met the girl who worked behind the counter of my hotel. She gave mer her number. It's 0. I tried to call her from here; some other woman answered. I said, 'You sound older.'"
"My hotel doesn't have a thirteenth floor because of superstition - but come on, man, you people on the fourteenth floor know what floor you're really on."
This Comedy Central presentation from 1999 displays some of Hedberg's best (albeit more watered-down and public TV-friendly) jokes. Definitely make an effort to track it down or watch it some time when it comes on Comedy Central - and also look out for Steven Wright, another underrated genius of one-liners.
