Quotes:

Mitch Hedberg: You know, you can't please all the people all the time, and last night, all those people were at my show.

Mitch Hedberg was hilarious! R.I.P.

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.
