I’m sure everyone else is reading all of these in his accent, now I’m talking like that in my head as I’m typing this

I got into an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, because then I tried to walk out and slammed the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation? Zipper it up really quick?

“I saw a commercial on late night TV, it said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were.”
“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 want to hang a map of the world in my house, and then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve traveled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map, so it won’t fall down.”

I like to call my cavities places to put stuff. 'Mitch do you know where I can store a pea?' 'Yes, I have some locations available.'

Pringles was originally going to be a tennis ball distributor. The day the balls were supposed to show up a truck came with a bunch of potatoes. So the owner said frick it cut em up.

That is the beauty/genius of Hedberg (and really all the great one-liner comedians). I don't think a lot of people realize how difficult that type comedy is. It is 100% all timing and delivery. You have to bomb and bomb repeatedly to get good at that type standup. You can't rely on physical humor. You can't really rely on callbacks or tying jokes together. It is just you and the one joke. You learn to make it land, or you find something else to do for a living.
That is why most of the great comedians will never attempt one-liner jokes.

My buddies and I listened to Mitch Hedberg cd's burned off limewire back in the early 00s. Got a lot of people into it. Always told people at first you're gonna say wtf is this shite. Then then next day you'll find yourself quoting him and imitating him. It's a slow burn until you realize he is a comedic genius

I don't get the regular AIDS test anymore. I get the roundabout AIDS test. I ask my friend Brian, "Do you know anybody who has AIDS?". He says, "No". I say, "Cool, because you know me."
I remember this one when I saw him for the first time. It cracks me up every time
