- When we were on acid, we would go into the woods... cause when you're in the woods tripping, there's less likely a chance you'll run into an authority figure. But we ran into a bear. That was even more of a buzzkill. My friend Dwayne was standing there raising his right hand, swearing to help prevent forest fires. We got away from the bear, he put his arm around my shoulder, he said "Mitchell... Smokey is way more intense in person!"
"I can't wait for this set to be over because I have a roll of Lifesavers in my pocket and pineapple is next." genius
I was front row for Mitch at the Laugh Stop in Austin in 2003. It was 90 minutes of pure comedic genius.

I like Wright as well. Another favorite deadpan comedian of mine is Demitri Martin (if you could call him that).

Mitch Hedberg is one of my top 3 comedians of all time. There has never been anyone as good as him at making the most random things hilarious.
I'm not exactly in the same boat, but I never found him to be as great as many say. Just different opinions, I suppose. Though it's weird because that's my same exact type of humor I have.

I went to a doctor and all he did was suck blood from my neck. Do not go to Dr. Acula.
Classic!!!

The distinction is about intent. Nobody knows whether any of them intentionally or accidentally overdosed. So calling it one or the other (accidental or suicide) is just speculation.
I forget if it was Des Moines or Cedar Rapids that a bunch of us from Helser went to see him. It was fantastic.
HOWEVER, the most obnoxious part was everyone poorly quoting his jokes for the next year. Almost as annoying as those a few years after when everyone and their aunt and uncle was poorly retelling Dane Cook jokes (that were only borderline funny to begin with)

I realize its real popular to pretend that Dane Cook isn't funny but almost any comedian secure with their success will admit that a lot of his stuff is very funny. He is pretty well respected in stand up community. The only thing (which isn't his fault) is they felt he didn't have to work as long to become successful as they did. Most are jealous that he went straight from clubs to arenas.
"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier'n helpin' 'em move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load **** into a truck."
Almost as bad as Dane Cook poorly re telling jokes he stole from other funnier comedians.
Well respected? He's been known to steal jokes from other comedians, one in particular is Louie CK, who actually IS well respected in the stand up community.
