Playing theaters doesn't mean you're a household name
he was on a sitcom and had a comedy central presents, hes talked about by people that were more popular than him as one of the greats.
He was on one episode of a sitcom and did a pilot that never aired and did a few letterman spots. More than half of all comedians have the same resume. He was getting some noteriety before he died but he was far from a household name. Also people don't speak poorly of the dead. Nobody was saying he was one of the greats when he was alive. Then suddenly when he dies. Omg he was such a genius so tragic.
god I hate zoomers
I'm 45 and was a comedy fan well before he died and after. Mitch Hedberg was not famous when he died. He was at the same level of fame as most of the mediocre Netflix comedians today.

Yes it happens to all of us and a lot faster than you think.
All the great ones die young. That’s why they’re great, you remember them at their peak, not when they’re rich boomers crying about gun control and shit.
it was a very good joke. doubt you could do any better let alone do it infront of an audience OP. So how about instead of being a troonhomosexual that can only tear shit down you learn to actually create something. Oh wait you can't because yo uwill never be a woman. Get fricked OP i just dabbed on your soon to be 42% body
No. But I slapped my knees and chortled watching you zoomgays neck Tide Pods

Millenials are the Cinemaphile generation.
We used to smile and have epic win memes for the lulz
Then you came
And made cool things cringeworthy with your homosexualry
And you have stayed
On a millenial construct
Aping millenial behaviors and diction
Trying to act like millenial without even knowing it
But you don't want to put the effort to make it fun
So now it's not
You just post sneed
Maybe a frog
That's all you can muster
No photoshopping
No ms-painting
No clever duckrolling
Just copy/pasting the same things over and over and over.
Without any concept of what you're ruining
It's just making us more depressed.

There used to be a time where you could figure out when an anon came here within a few months based on the memes they used because new ones were being churned out all the fricking time back then, but I swear to god it's been nothing but wojacks, pepes, sneed and frogpsting for the last 6 years. the most creative thing to come out of this place in the last decade was the TLOU2 punch template which was a glorious moment.
No, no one who actually likes The Simpsons posts Sneed and millennials generally are old enough to remember good Simpsons. Sneed is strictly a gen Z thing.
they have to make it as moronicly intentionally offensive as possible too so the morons understand it was offensive otherwise the cancel narrative doesn't work so all jokes are ham fisted bullshit from all sides.
Every Mitch stand up >a bunch of terrible non-sequiturs and "witty observations" in barely intelligible English because the man was always so fricking blasted >none of it is actually funny
I've never understood the appeal.
Ask yourself this. Do you enjoy the stand up of Dimitri Martin? Probably not, because he's an awful unfunny hack that does nothing but string a bunch of non-sequitur together. Yet you find Mitch hilarious despite the fact that their stand up is nearly identical.
I use this one every opportunity I get, it's such a wonderful line
You now remember that Mitch Hedberg gave Hannibal Burress his first break opening up for him. Hannibal Burress repaid him by (thankfully) taking over his cadence and timing style.
I don't care for Hannibal's stand-up, but he was ok on Eric Andre's show.
You now remember that Mitch Hedberg gave Hannibal Burress his first break opening up for him. Hannibal Burress repaid him by (thankfully) taking over his cadence and timing style.
Highbrow comedy like his isn't for everyone, it's like Cinemaphile shitposts. They land extra hard because of how much background you have to have in it.

these kind of basic observation jokes are the equivalent of boomer jokes about how much he hates his wife, something you chuckle at but never gets a reaction above that

my mental image of all of the most sissy homosexual reddit activity on the internet has always been a chubby Gen-Xer with a beard or goattee. I've not thought about it much but it goes back years
They weren't really much of an issue for years, other than being the OG Williansburg hipsters. It's only when they started coming into power that they've become the new boomers.
>worse than the boomers
not even close
Boomers singlehandedly crashed the economy, had it incredibly easy and still manage to frick over the generations after them
There's a story of Louis CK doing Letterman and Mitch Hedberg was in the green room and gave him shit about wearing a suit to perform, calling Louie a phony. Then the next time Hedberg was on letterman he wore a suit.
the ultimate form of humour is repeating what someone said along side of a poorly traced drawing youve seen 100 time of a bearded man with his mouth open
Problem with jokes is the same problem a show like Twilight Zone has. The good ones get recycled so much everyone has seen the same joke/plot by now even if they don't realize it's origins. Then by the time they are exposed to it, it appears cliche and basic because they've probably already seen something similar a lot
I dislike pot and hate the stench of it. Never tried it. Yet somehow I dig stoner comedians like Mitch Hedberg.
Well, a few like Seth Rogen I can't stand anymore. Though that is more him being such a bigoted leftie butthole even for me.
I've used some variation of the "time to go to the rope store and get a decent length, then go to the rickety stool store next door, which is no coincidence" bit dozens of times and not once has it failed to get a laugh.
imagine being so jaded and crossburnt by the constant cynicism and tr00nposting of Cinemaphile that you can't appreciate the casual whimsy of Mitch.
Do not have a good evening, do not pass go
>That's how you modernize comedy. Take anything Seinfeld would have done and just make it sound like you just don't know what you're talking about
Truest quote of all time.
>“So, I sit at the hotel at night and I think of something that’s funny. Or, If the pen is too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of wasn’t funny.”
for as much shit as Larry the Cable Guy caught for being a hack and a phony, Bill Engvall was definitely the weak link. Just a Jeff Foxworthy knockoff. He's seems like a good guy, though.
That's every good comedian. They're all on something for stage fright. If they are comfortable and extroverted they can crowd please but they'll never be legend status.
Black person you better not be badmouthing Mitch Hedberg
Be real with yourself. He had some cute jokes but he's no comedy legend just because he died young.
He’s literally a comedy legend and was well before he died.
No he wasn't. He made his name after he died.
He was playing theaters. He was well established.
Playing theaters doesn't mean you're a household name
He was on one episode of a sitcom and did a pilot that never aired and did a few letterman spots. More than half of all comedians have the same resume.

Yeah he doesn't live up to the hype and he definitely didn't change comedy like attel did.
I liked him before he died.
I won't remember you at all.
Is that suppose to be an insult? Because if it is.... oooof.
Slay gurl.
Kys
Yeah because I don't think Larry the Cable guy for hipsters is a comedy legend. I bet you always fall for hype.
If he hadn't died, he would have faded into obscurity like every other "gimmick" comic of the 80s and 90s like Emo Phillips and Judy Tanuta.
That's what in saying.

my friend didn't like my haircut at first, but last week he said it was growing on him

It's about the delivery you waste of cum

So brave and powerful. When folx of color do this, I sit my white ass down and listen.
>basic observational humor
Like "What is the DEAL with airline food?"
Closer to Carlin before he became an insufferable old man.

Just the idea made me chuckle tbh.
i do too. remember that black alcoholic guy that used to post all the time?
>Millennials laugh at the word "sneed"
Millenials don't laugh, too depressed
laughing at sneed as still a better fate than everyone you know acting like a tiktokker and using discord
sneeds a gen z thing or at least i thought it was because its post 2016 cancer
I'm gen z and find the word "sneed" hilarious. I'm also moronic, like really moronic.
No, no one who actually likes The Simpsons posts Sneed and millennials generally are old enough to remember good Simpsons. Sneed is strictly a gen Z thing.
It's about sending a message

Even worse than that. They laugh at black people speaking gibberish like actual babies.

No. But I slapped my knees and chortled watching you zoomgays neck Tide Pods
Name one time that actually happened
"I find that a duck's opinion of me is very much influenced over whether or not I have bread"
Actual lol just typing that out remembering it now
what i like about mitch is a good amount of his jokes are not funny at all its just the way he delivers them.
Yep. People can't deliver jokes anymore so they just scream shit or don't rven make jokes, just say something offensive.
they have to make it as moronicly intentionally offensive as possible too so the morons understand it was offensive otherwise the cancel narrative doesn't work so all jokes are ham fisted bullshit from all sides.

I don't think that: I know it.
i guess he was just too smart for me. every time he says a joke im left trying to figure out what he said.
Highbrow comedy like his isn't for everyone, it's like Cinemaphile shitposts. They land extra hard because of how much background you have to have in it.
Both are top tier.

Stand-up comedy is a relic of a bygone era like vaudeville.
Mitch Hedberg was one of the last comedians to tell actual jokes and not just made up stories and political observations.
Yes he notice that when you eat rice you're eating a million of something. What an absolute genius. I mean that's comedy.
You have autism.

He came out in 1999 which was more of a millennial teen culture year (high schoolers then were 1981-1985 which isn’t gen x).
Gen x teen/young adult culture ended in 1997 due to Soundgarden breaking up, nu metal appearing, and the resurgence of boybands.
