He was very funny indeed. He died way too young. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IueXtzdC6kA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IueXtzdC6kA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> R.I.P.
What the FUCK!? He died four fukcing years ago!? How did I not hear about this? Shit, he was one of my favourite comedians. The first time I saw one of his routines was on Just for Laughs when he did that bit about racial equality or something and was like, "black, white, green, purple....Wait am minute...To hell wiht purple people....Unless they're choking....then help 'em" or something to that effect. Crap, it hasn't been a good decade in terms of people dying when they should have lived.
That routine is in the video I posted. I only heard about him dying the last time someone made a thread about it. I was seriously annoyed that I had not heard about it earlier, and quite sad that I would not be able to see any new material from him again.
Cool. My comp has been actin' weird, though, and I can't run YouTube vids, so I couldn't see it. Oh well.
I really got into him about 6 months before he died so it sucked even more when he passed. I got up here to college and met someone who went to the same high school as him and I was like oh cool, do you like Mitch Hedberg? He had never even heard of him... Oh well, we ended up being best friends anyway.
