Wow. That's.. WOW.

I saw him at a Comedy Central show in Ann Arbor. It was him, David Attell and Lewis Black. Anyway, it was the first I had heard of him, and he was pretty funny... funnier because he was totally drunk onstage and couldn't remember his jokes. People had to yell them out to him. He, sad when I think about it now.. but it was funny at the time.

I hope he rests in peace, it's a shame that he died young.

WOW

I didnt think he was funny at first. His was a delivery you had to get used to. But...WOW. RIP.

[NYPinTA]

Aw crap!
He was funny.
:(

[Spedoinkel]

I think his delivery was his best feature. Just how he said everything with the laid back stoner attitude.

[LiLOrion]

Yeah, it took some getting used to. But he grew on me. :)

Well, crap. At least I got to see him live in 2003.

[ItsThatGuy]

Man. I knew i should've spent the money to go see him and Steven Lynch when i had the chance.

I saw him when he was in Boston. He was the opening act, then Dave Attel, and Lewis Black headlined. One of my friends had tickets, but didn't go because it was the same day as game 7 of the 2003 Sox-Yankees Championship game.

I remember he was really funny, but I didn't know his name until months later.

A couple of my favs..

“Last week I helped my friend stay put. It’s a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load shit into a truck."

"On a traffic light yellow means yield, and green means go. On a banana, it's just the opposite, yellow means go ahead, green means stop, and red means, where'd you get that banana? "

Escalators are never out of order, they just become stairs. :lol

"I'd like to have a koala infestation in my apartment."

I was at the Ann Arbor show with AyuRocks and although I had seen some Comedy Central specials with him, I wasn't really a fan until he showed up on stage live ("Is he holding...a screwdriver?") and got through ten minutes of material before forgetting completely. He told the escalator joke two or three times.

He was unique, that's for sure. RIP, Mitch.

"I don't have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who'd be really pissed off if she heard me say that."

"I used to do drugs...I still do, but I used to too."

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said 'No, but later I will want a regular banana, so yay'."

[buggabboo]

oh man...that totally makes me sad.

i seriously thought he was the funniest dude ever. while i can totally see why his delivery would take a bit of getting used to i totally loved it from the get go.

sigh

"I use the word 'totally' alot. I should find another phrase that works. 'Hey Mitch, do you like apples?' 'All-encompassingly!’”

[Nessus]

This really sucks. I've seen his Comedy Central special about 10 times, and it was as funny the 10th time as it was the first. It's truely hard to pull off that non-sequitur style delivery he had, and he was the best I'd ever seen.
