Mitch HedbergThere are 2 categories of people in this world i have great admiration for.
1. The ones who make a difference each day be it a scientific breakthru or firemen saving lives .. you get the idea ..
2. The ones who have the power to make others laugh and forget about everything else while they run the show..i guess you'd typecast them as comedians..
while this site has been mainly preaching towards the first type... i shall focus on the 2nd for this writeup..firstly comedy isn't a simple thing to do.. a lot have tried to be a success in this line and failed miserable and then decide to become wannabe gay poets or pseudo intellectual authors or something along the same vein and try to give the discipline of art as much fake credibility with their works of absolute bullshit .. you get the idea ..
a comedian on the other hand is something everyone can say without a doubt... "now this guy/gal is definitely funny!!"
you wouldn't have to rack your brains like you'd normally do while trying to figure out what makes that piece of shit artpiece/book etc earn so much rave reviews ...
If you can make another person smile or laugh or happy..you're a saint for making the sadness and sorrow go away even if it's for a few fleeting moments.
For that reason and many others which i'm not about to go into detail into ... i used to always keep myself in the loop with regards the most funniest or humourous comedians and media that was being circulated on the internet ... but then after viewing dave chapelle before he was "dave chapelle" to dane cook and the likes of denis leary and a whole lot more including one indian comedian named russel peters .. i became jaded ... i noticed that there were a lot of things similar amongst these funny men.. the'd play the race card, talk about television programs and how a radical viewpoint on these programs would be "funny" .. i admit .. at first when i was new to the whole comedy scene .. it was funny ..but everything got recycled and there were't any real individuals with original material and would do it in a different manner ... till i checked my email and just checked out this unheard dude by the name of Mitch Hedberg ... after watching his first clip i was hooked .. this guy was UNIQUE AND FUNNY ...and i was convinced no doubt that this guy...true KING OF COMEDY.. just rose to the no 1 spot with his material ... but as i read the rest of the mail later .. i found out that he's no longer among the living ..perhaps god called him up to heaven to do standup ...
MITCH HEDBERG OWNED ALL OTHER COMEDIANS WITH HIS FRESH METHODS ..
i mean .. here was a guy who's stage fright could be easily noticed just by the tone of his voice .. he wasn't as smooth as the black stand ups ..nor was he loud and booming like denis leary or dane cook .. and on top of this .. his stuff was just simple.. no long stories or intricate buildups .. he just kept on giving the audience simple one liners based on his thoughts and observations and mannn it was hilarious!!!
without further ado .. here are the links from his skit on conan o brien...
