Why Can't We Get a Clear Photo of Bigfoot? Comedian Thinks He Knows the Answer


Editor’s Note: This is a post by Bigfoot Evidence contributor Vicki W.

Maybe it's a good time to lighten up a bit with a little Bigfoot humor. Well, this comedy segment only has a couple of lines about Bigfoot, but they are classic. This is a short segment from a performance from stand-up comedian Mitch Hedberg. Mitch had a unique style and delivery of his comedy. Many call it one liners, but that label really doesn't fit his comedy. It may have been two to three liners at times, but he could take very ordinary things or situations and spin them in a very funny way. His comedy routines were more like spurts of random thoughts or ideas that he could turn with a somewhat logical, yet inquisitive and enthusiastic tone that just really worked.

Just as Mitch had finally broken into a successful career in stand-up, having performed on David Letterman, been featured on his own Comedy Central special, and recorded a hit DVD/CD as well as a few appearances in film and a TV sitcom, his gift of laughter was forever silenced. He was found dead in his hotel room on March 30, 2005 from an accidental drug overdose. He was 37. He continues to gain fans today, as new listeners discover his original comedy. It's doubtful anyone could ever successfully duplicate his special style of stand-up. He was truly one of a kind.

Here is a short biography of Mitch from Wikipedia:

Mitchell Lee "Mitch" Hedberg (February 24, 1968 – March 29, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian known for his surreal humor and unconventional comedic delivery. His comedy typically featured short, sometimes one-line jokes mixed with absurd elements and non sequiturs.

Hedberg's comedy and on-stage persona gained him a cult following with audience members sometimes shouting out the punchlines to his jokes before he could finish them.

Comedian Mitch Hedberg was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesotta, but started his comedy career in Florida, not because it's a particularly humorous state but because it's warm. After honing his act in Florida, he moved to Seattle and started touring throughout the Pacific Northwest. Hedberg got his first television appearance on MTV's Comikaze by personally pitching his act to the talent coordinator. His big break came in 1996 when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, an appearance so successful that Letterman himself quoted his act later in the show. In 1997, he won the grand prize at the Seattle Comedy Competition and completed his own independent feature, Los Enchiladas! While headlining comedy clubs across the nation, Hedberg secured a development deal with Fox to create a sitcom and made an appearance in the film Almost Famous. In 2003, Comedy Central Records issued both Mitch All Together and Strategic Grill Locations, and sponsored a tour with Hedberg, Lewis Black, and Dave Attell.

Mitch was interviewed by Jonathan Davis in the December 2001 issue of Penthouse. In the interview, published three years before his death, he was asked "If you could choose, how would you end your life?" His response was "First, I'd want to get famous, and then I'd overdose. If I overdosed at this stage in my career, I would be lucky if it made the back pages." Hedberg was still a star on the rise when a heart attack due to "multiple drug toxicity" ended his ascent on March 30, 2005 at the age of 37. A collection of unreleased recordings titled Do You Believe in Gosh? appeared in 2008. ~ David Jeffries. Additional note: Mitch also appeared in the film Lords of Dogtown and on the TV sitcom "That 70's Show".

Youtube has lots of videos of Hedberg's performances, if you find that you enjoy his comedy. I would say that his material is either something you like or you don't. I doubt there's an in-between. Personally, I like it. But for those who are only interested in hearing his classic Bigfoot lines, move the counter to about the 2:00 minute mark.

  7. I really enjoyed this Shawn and the comments here. A little Joy! I am commenting this am b/c I was unable last night after watching. It is difficult to allow one self joyous abandon knowing the death of the entertainer was not far in the future, and for such transient reasons.
    Additionally, last night as I watched the video I could hear a dog barking across the river. I finally went out and after a hike along the shore spied her stuck on the other side beneath a steep embankment. She was wearing a bright orange life-vest, deflated, and stood before the bend of the deep and swift water, trapped.
    The tubers, her owners, long since drifted downstream. Were they confident she would follow? Did they know her vest was ripped? Did they care? They never came back.
    I waded as far as I could and called to her, but she could not take the plunge, and instead paced frantically back and forth.
    I yelled over the waters my best encouragement, "Sit! Stay! Good Girl. I'll be back." I knew I was lying, at least for the night. The full moon now up and my way back upstream more difficult. I haven't a boat and there are no roads through the forest to the shores, there wasn't much choice but to return home.
    I culd still hear her baying, now rythmic, it seemed almost without hope. The night had closed around us. I turned on the deck lights, called again into the night. "No bark, sit, stay! Good Girl!" She did not bark again.
    It was midnight when I fell asleep, shortly after watching our so funny and witty comedian here. This predawn I awoke and rushed down to the river, to silence. I could not see her with the binoculars, but the orange vest was visble, just barely in the bramble at the deep water's edge.
    What chance an older, fat domestic family dog, desperately facing a wild natural unfamiliar world, made it, without her life vest, by a plunge into dark waters? Did she manage, after shedding that plastic vest, to push up through the posion oak, rasberry brambles, and wild grape vines that climbed the vertical bank, a shore we call the Jurasic Jungle. Or were the coyotes, bobcat, and cougar called in with her baying? Her scent would not have been obvious in her location, only her voice.
    I won't ever know. Just like I won't know why our funny friend could not escape his untimely end. The ambiguity and uncertainty of life presses all around us, and I cannot escape a sense of responsibility for the foolishness of humans, or myself.
    Perhaps, this is way the mystery of our big friends, the Bigfoots, my Homo indomitus, calls so for us. And, why I advocate their freedom and protection from intentional harm by us, even if that means no proof via speciman.
    Bigfoots are a bridge of sorts between our modern plastic, metal, electric lives, an artifical world we created and a former time when the Earth's rythyms beat in our hearts.
    If you go out into the wilds, leave the old domestic dogs at home, on the couch, where they are safe! Bigfoots will like you for it.

    It is lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you probably did,
    the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
