mitch hedberg quotes

I had a neighbor, and whenever he would knock on my wall I knew he wanted me to turn my music down, and that made me angry because I like loud music, so when he knocked on the wall I'd mess with his head. I'd say: "Go around! I cannot open the wall. I don't know if you have a doorknob on the other side, but over here there's nothing. It's just flat."

I like escalators because an escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You'll never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. We apologize that you can still get up there.

I rent a lot of cars, but I don't always know everything about them. So a lot of times, I drive for like ten miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it really doesn't say a lot for the emergency brake. It's really not an emergency brake, it's an emergency "make the car smell funny" lever.

I was in a casino, I was standing by the door, and a security guard came over and said "You're gonna have to move. You're blocking the fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you are a table.

I hate turtlenecks. Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy.

When you go to a restaurant on the weekends and it's busy so they start a waiting list, they say, "DuFresnes, party of two, table ready for DuFresnes, party of two." And if no one answers they'll say the name again: "DuFresnes, party of two." But then if no one answers, they'll move on to the next name. "Bush, party of three." Yeah, but what happened to the DuFresnes!? No one seems to care! Who can eat at a time like this!? People are missing. You people are selfish. The DuFresnes are in someone's trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths. And they're hungry. That's a double whammy. We need help. "Bush, search party of three." You can eat once you find the DuFresnes."

I like baked potatoes, man. I don’t have a microwave oven. It takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I’ll just throw one in there, even if I don’t want one. By the time it’s done, who knows.

People used to think I was high on stage, because people associate long hair with drug use. I wish long hair was associated with something other than drug use. Like an extreme longing for cake. Then strangers would see a long haired guy and say, "That guy eats cake. He is on bunt cake." Mothers would say to their daughters, "Don't bring the cake eater over here anymore! He smells like flour. Did you see how excited he got when he heard your birthday was fast approaching?"

This shirt is "dry-clean only"...which means it's dirty.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside. Look out, he's fuzzy, let's get out of here.

I heard about this documentary on NPR this week.
You can click here for the site and then click on "trailer" on the left.
One review said, "It's like A Mighty Wind only real." That's amazing.

more videos!!

Have you seen that incredible "Tide to Go" commercial (played during the Super Bowl) with the talking stain?? If not, click here.

Apparently Tide hosted a contest to see who could create the best spoof of that commercial. I found them online today. I think most of them are pretty lame, but these two are worth watching . . .

#1. Hillbilly Tide Brothers

#2. Tide in the Supermarket

a warning & an apology

WARNING: absolutely nothing exciting happens in the 50s video below, nevertheless, I chose to share it with you because I enjoyed watching it :) I found it interesting when I originally stumbled upon it after reading some articles/ads from the 50s. But after posting it yesterday I quickly discovered (from a few anonymous sources) that you may have expected something crazy to happen and were disappointed after just watching numerous random objects from the 50s with weird music playing in the background.

I apologize if it was the source of five minutes of boredom ....the beginning of this five minute video is MUCH more exciting!

one simple truth ...

Jack Handey's "Deep Thoughts" NEVER get old! And with that, I give you the Deep Thought of the day (courtesy of Nicole Corpuz) ...

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you?
You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.
