What?! No Louis Black? What's the matter with you?

I listen to The White Album on a weekly basis. That, and he's always great on the Daily Show.

There's a couple of guy that just crack me up.

Bill Engval, Mitch Hepburn or however you spell it. Demetri Somthing, and Some Dude. I forgot the last 2, but they're hilarious. Yeah, real descriptive, I know.

Mitch Hedberg!

You now officially rock Toxic. Mitch Hedberg is an amazing comic who comes up with stuff that makes you think "Why didn't I ever think of that before?"

Like when he was talking about how he thinks Pringles was originally a tennis ball company. But on the first day, a bunch of potatoes showed up and they said "Fuck it. Let's cut 'em up."

"I haven't slept for ten days....because that would be too long."

And the whole Ritz cracker thing.

Then there's the bananna one. Asked if he wanted a frozen bananna, no, but he wanted one later, so yeah.

No wonder people never have arguments in tents...how are you supposed to slam the door? Zip it up real fast? *zzzzzzip* Fuck you.

There's a billion examples, he's just amazing.

Mitch Hedberg, definitely. He's so awesome. I need to get his CDs.

An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You will never see a sign that says "Escalator Out of Order". Only one that says "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. We're sorry for the convenience".

Yup yup! I quote the escalator thing at work all the time. The stuff he comes up with is so simple yet you wouldn't think of it in a million years.

Hah, and there's the bananna one, in Nick's sig.


If you think you haven't heard em, don't look.
Spoiler:


I got an ant farm. Them fellas didn't grow shit.

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.

I got my hair highlighted, because I felt some strands were more important than others.

I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Man, you really like Tide..."

I wrote a letter to my dad - I wrote, "I really enjoy being here," but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so i crossed it out and wrote, "I rarely drive steamboats, dad - there's a lot of shit you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator." This letter took a harsh turn right away...

...and then at the end of the letter I like to write "P.S. - this is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

I got in 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 had to slam the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation? Zip it up real quick?

I type a 101 words a minute. But it's in my own language.

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, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get outta here.

I have an underwater camera just in case I crash my car into a river, and at the last minute I see a photo opportunity of a fish that I have never seen.

One time a guy handed me a picture of himself, and he said, "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is of when you were younger. Here's a picture of me when I am older. You son of a bitch, how'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera...

My roommate says, "I need to shave and use the shower. Does anyone need to use the bathroom?" It's like some weird-ass quiz where he reveals the answer first...

...Every time I go and shave I assume there is somebody else on the planet shaving as well, so I say "I'm gonna go shave too"

Sometimes I wave to people I don't know. It is very dangerous to wave to people you don't know, because what if they don't have a hand? They'll think you're cocky. "Look what I got motherfucker, this thing is useful...I'm gonna go pick something up"

My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She got half way. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set.

On a traffic light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the fuck did you get that banana at...

Hedburg is just so funny.

I'm going through a jokes page of his, and I just can't stop laughing.

I think I need to share some more.

At my hotel room, my friend came over and asked to use the phone. I said "Certainly." He said "Do I need to dial 9?" I say "Yeah. Especially if it's in the number. You can try four and five back to back real quick."

My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on, four billion! Fuck. Seven. Not even close. I need more dice."

Bill Hicks is also amazing. It's a shame he's dead though. Awhile back I downloaded one of his shows but I can't remember what it was called.

I do have Mitch Hedberg's CD. But I was kinda disapointed when this joke wasnt included.

"I used to live in a apartment and I would put my music loud, cause I like loud music, and the neighbors use to hit the wall. So I would like to mess with his head and say "Go around, I can not open the wall. I dont know if theres a handle on that side, but here, there nothing.""

"Rotissery is a morbid faris wheel. Rotating chicken carcasses really make my mouth water."

This one's on the CD, but wasnt mentioned earlier.

"I know alot about cars, I could look at the car's headlights and tell you exactly wich way its going."

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

And how about the creamy goodness of Greg Behrendt? Taped his HBO special "Mantastic"... you need.

On Desperado (namely, Antonio Banderas): "And your friends go 'Yeah, dude, the violence was beautiful.' Huh? 'Well, you know, the way it was choreographed'... no, HE was choreographed! But straight men are afraid to say that they're titillated by a motherfucker in leather who is KICKING ASS! You know, he's falling onto the car... he's falling onto the car, and it's in slow-mo, and you're sitting there with your buddy and you go 'Fuck, dude... I think I'm getting wood!"

On getting into a spat with a fellow guitarist from another band: "And I don't want that to happen, so I say 'No, wait a minute...' and then he just goes, 'Look, dude...' which I know means '...come on, dude...' So then I say 'Is there a problem?' and I give him the little head cock, which is the international male sign for 'I'll fuckin' kick your ass...' So then he says 'Do you want to take a walk?' And then I say 'I'm all ABOUT a walk!' So we go to take a walk... and the funny thing about this is that the club is inordinately long, so we actually HAVE to take a walk..."

Other than that, everyone else's covered the best.

Basically anyone who is on Comedy Central's standup. I love to laugh. There's this one Black guy, however, whose name totally escapes me. He's absolutely hilarious. He goes like "One day, I was trying to make nun-chucks out of a broomstick like Bruce Lee. Then my mom comes over and takes them from me. She's like "Gimme those!" and starts going all kung fu."

My favorite stand-up comic would have to be George Carlin. I love the fact that he complains about a lot of things and that he has good material.

I am also a big fan of Stephen Lynch, Jeff Foxworthy, Mitch Hedberg and Bill Engvall.

Stephen Lynch isn't only funny but he sings pretty good also. I love Jeff Foxworthy's redneck jokes. I remember watching the Redneck Games music video with Alan Jackson and it was funny. Mitch Hedberg is just naturally funny and that I first saw him on David Letterman's show back in the mid 90's. I loved the show and I knew that I was gonna be a fan of his work. Bill Engvall along with Jeff Foxworthy and others were great in "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour". I saw it a few days ago on Comedy Central and loved it.

NOTE: All comedians are funny in their own way but it depends on what type of comedy you like.
