I am forced to get a last fm.

Illmatic 12-26-2005 11:39 AM

You know, I just don't "get" Mitch Hedberg, I guess.

He more or less tells jokes straight up, while most comedians tell you a story to get to a joke.

Mitch is sort of awkward to listen to for a bit, but then he says something hilarious that comes out of nowhere. Then after that most of what he says is funny.

That's the thing, he has no stage presence, he really doesn't have anything. He's just some stoner standing up there telling a million one-liners one after another. And yeah, a few of them are funny, but if you swing for the fences every time you're bound to hit a few home runs.

He probably fried his brain, so he can't create a stage presence

Then he probably shouldn't be a standup comedian.

Im not trying to start an arguement....... anyways he's dead so you have no need to worry about new material.

Mazeppa 12-26-2005 11:57 AM

So, as you may or may not know I got a new stereo for Christmas (:D). Anyway, this afternoon I connected up my old speakers (which work and sound fine) to my new stereo so I now have four speakers in my room. It's a small room, and it's pretty loud now; sounds great aswell. So yeah, afternoon well spent.

I just watched his uncut special that was aired on comedy central, and he actually has quite a bit of stage presence compared to the Mitch you're talking about. He constantly talks to the audience and interacts with them.

I guess the word I'm looking for is 'energy'...go watch Bill Hicks, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Lewis Black, or Dave Chappelle (just as a starter), that's the kinda stuff I like. Someone who is into the material and really high energy up on stage; if someone isn't excited about their material, why should I be? Even early George Carlin had some degree of charisma.

Lunch 12-26-2005 12:09 PM

Ok, energy I understand. I still like how Mitch has a different approach to the business though.

Jev 12-26-2005 12:10 PM

Hmm, anyone read the new announcement?
Interesting stuff. Don't know if I can handle change though.

Its a differing style, It doesnt mean hes not excited about his material. Its different strokes for different folks.

Yeah. I think it will be fine, it really blows that MX had to be shut down. I hate music industrys these days.

Seriously, how the hell do tabs rip the artist off? AARRGG!

[QUOTE=Happy]Hmm, anyone read the new announcement?

King_Of_Terrors 12-26-2005 12:41 PM

I'm trying to get used to the new layout, I want to try something new than the previous one, it was grey and white.

I changed it back to that a few minutes ago, but I switched back to the Sputnik one, it's pretty cool.

Jev 12-26-2005 12:43 PM

I've never once been on Sputnik. I checked it out just now.
It's a shame that MX is goen forever :'(

King_Of_Terrors 12-26-2005 12:45 PM

I made 2 reviews on Sputnik, everyone hated them, I left. That's it for me. :lol:

Jev 12-26-2005 12:47 PM

[QUOTE=King_Of_Terrors]I made 2 reviews on Sputnik, everyone hated them, I left. That's it for me. :lol:[/QUOTE]
I don't think I'll ever post there. Everytime I go to comment I just feel like a noob (well, I still am) again.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]I see that you are a fan of some good comedians[/QUOTE]

I feel pretty sad even though I stopped using MX ages ago.

Yea even though I don't look for tabs very often, I always went to MX first. But oh well, I don't mind too much.

King_Of_Terrors 12-26-2005 12:54 PM

I'm still trying to get used to the color scheme. It's pretty cool though.

I really liked the blue green one :(

[QUOTE=Happy Ninja Man Guy Person Ninja]I really miss the blue-green layout[/QUOTE]
It's still there, you can change it in your User CP.

Jev 12-26-2005 12:59 PM

[QUOTE=King_Of_Terrors]It's still there, you can change it in your User CP.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I know, but after the switch to Sputnik it won't be available.

King_Of_Terrors 12-26-2005 01:00 PM

[quote=Happy]Yeah I know, but after the switch to Sputnik it won't be available.[/quote]

How do you know?

Mr. M, Man of Muzak 12-26-2005 01:04 PM

[QUOTE=Happy]Yeah I know, but after the switch to Sputnik it won't be available.[/QUOTE]Mx didnt say anything about that. He only said that the sputnik skin is now the default

King_Of_Terrors 12-26-2005 01:05 PM

What's sad is that this thing has 170 views already, and it has been up for like what, 30 minutes? Riva's "Quit The Spam" only got like 150, in like 4 days.

Mr. M, Man of Muzak 12-26-2005 01:11 PM

Riva's was in R&M only, mx's is forum wide

Wiat, so right now as a member of MX can i post on sputnik? (im not registerd on sputnik) That annoucment is kinda confusing.

[QUOTE=custom>standard]Wiat, so right now as a member of MX can i post on sputnik? (im not registerd on sputnik) That annoucment is kinda confusing.[/QUOTE]
I think that's what it's saying. You don't get postcount here for it though I think.
Mind you, i really don't know much.
