He will be missed

A freaking men. He was the boss
bronsonlug
Him, Bill Hicks, and George Carlin... awesome

I don't do drugs, so I never really saw the appeal to his jokes.

It's all in his delivery. Hillarious.

I'm going to be that guy and say you misspelled his last name even though it's on the last photo. Still +1 because he was the shit.
DixieDeadbeat
He would've been a twitter God.
HolyRustedMetal
Always up vote Mitch, always.
TheLastSpaceman
Did he play the role of a cashier at the "hub" in That 70s show?
turdferguson2
He was the living embodiment of shower thoughts...he is and always will be missed

I used to upvote Mitch Hedberg posts. I still do, but I used to, too.

I can beat a wall at tennis though. Just place your serves so the ball rebounds out of play.

*Mitch Hedberg, a.k.a the latter-day Steven Wright.
ImDyslexicSoWhat
I find reading his quotes are funnier than watching him

The words make me happy and the pictures make me sad.

His mom buried herself with him?
buffalosnowcrash
Family plot. Caskets are next to each other.Not uncommon here in the US. 100 years ago it was way nearly every family (with money) did it.
missladymondegreen
sometimes not next to each other. my grandpa was buried deeper with the knowledge that my grandma would be buried with him when she passed.
ReallyRonSwanson
Well that's just the sweetest thing I've read today.
gonzalesernest
Love his comedy total legend
itsahollyday2
There was this period I went thru where I was really obsessed w/ MH. I'd listen to his shows in the car and miss him when I didn't. 1/2
itsahollyday2
And felt like he was my best friend. Still makes me super happy to hear him telling jokes. 2/2

Hey @OP, you want some more home made Sprite??

Not till you figure out what the fuck else is in it.
Streubenhouzen
They say it's made of lemon and lime but thats bullshit!
PrincessNakedMoleRat
So is he like, the Kurt Cobain of comedians?
ashleypomeroy
He's the Sam Kinison of Bill Hicks.
MissSpaceFace
Nah, he was the Mitch Hedberg of comedians.
PrincessNakedMoleRat
In that I only heard of him after he was dead.

There was a story in Reader's Digest once where a guy proved he was innocent of murder because he had receipts. Yes, I'm fun at parties.
MadVillainousDave
you actually sound like you would be fun at parties with all these random interesting facts. MORE MORE MORE!

Babe Ruth kept a cabbage leaf under his hat to keep his head cool. He switched it out for a fresh one every few innings.

His mother outlived him :/
WhateverIFeelLike666
A parents worst nightmare
ReallyRonSwanson
By 32 years hell of a long time! She was without him almost as long as she had him. :(
kingloofa455
That math is airtight.

JuliaKreature
12-5=32! Why not
dirtyketchup
Post means that Mitch lived fewer than half of the years than his mother did. Parents usually spend most years of life being parents.
ReallyRonSwanson
Thank you! She didn't have him the day she was born.
goodpoltergeist
I saw him only a couple weeks before he died. He was not particularly lucid. He would forget jokes halfway through
Timegoat
I saw George carlin about a year before he died and it was not great. Still love him though!
Guanjyn
Carlin went from hilarious observational monologues to just angry ranting with no jokes. Same thing happened to Hicks (to a lesser extent).
Anigon
He also had a crippling problem with stage fright. Which is why he wouldn't look at the audience.
SadToSay
I had tickets to see him but he died like two days before the show.
crumbhustler
Between stage fright and heroin, I'm sure it wasn't the usual comedy show.
ranchenthusiast
He did shows from behind the curtain due to his stage fright.
JapaneseStudentTadashii
What happened to him?
goodpoltergeist
Heroin overdose
NickSince91
Mitch yeah, not George
goodpoltergeist
And sometimes stop in the middle and say "I don't wanna tell you that one." At times it was hilarious, and at times it was pathetic.
imnotpreparedforthis
Pathetic? The guy had obvious crippling social anxiety, I'm pretty impressed he got on stage in the first place. That's not pathetic.
Ablus
Yea, to me he was a guy following his dream. fucking created a legacy.
goodpoltergeist
I know that ultimately he has the sole responsibility for his decisions, but I feel like we encouraged it.
Neomaxizoomdweebie
Holy shit, that's depressing.
MrsMaryBee
How so? Not being an ass, genuinely curious.
goodpoltergeist
The drug use was a part of his persona. It was very successful, ergo...
imnotpreparedforthis
He used drugs to deal with mental illness and crippling anxiety

Drugs are so great, they'll ruin your lives
