Line 21:
{{quote| "There's a large, ''out-of-focus'' monster running around the countryside. That's ''extra'' scary to me. Run, he's fuzzy!"}}
* [[Calling Shotgun]]: "Last time I called shotgun we'd rented a limo, so I fucked up."
* [[Can't You Read the Sign|Can't You Read the Sign?]]: This is his response when a child tells him a [[Knock -Knock Joke]] while Mitch is wearing a Do Not Disturb sign.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]
* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Banana bread pastrami cottage cheese sandwich
* [[Dagwood Sandwich]]: He sees sandwiches from New York delis as this.
{{quote| "Whatcha gonna have? A pastrami sandwich. Would you like anything with that? Yeah, a loaf of bread and some other people."}}
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bears]]: Mitch feels that Smokey the Bear should not be the forest fire prevention mascot because bears are too scary. He prefers <s>a fake character he made up</s> England's mascot Smacky the Frog.
** He and some friends were dropping acid in the woods to avoid the cops, but ran into a bear, "[[Understatement|which was even more of a buzzkill]]." A friend remarked "Smokey is ''way'' more intense in person."
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: "I'd like to see a forklift lift a crate of forks. It'd be so damn ''literal''!"
Line 52:
{{quote| "Sometimes I'll fuck up and call my new girlfriend by my old girlfriend's name. She can tell because I don't say the 'nn' long enough."}}
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: "I was at a restaurant, I ordered a chicken sandwich, but I don't think the waitress understood me cause she said, 'how would you like your eggs?' So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said, 'Incubated.'" ([[Beat]]) " 'And then raised. And then beheaded. And then plucked. And then cut up. And then put onto a grill. And then put onto a bun. Damn, [[Lampshade Hanging|it's gonna take a while]].' " ([[Beat]]) "[[Brick Joke|Scrambled]]."
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: If a joke didn't work, Mitch was always the first person to point it out. For instance, after one joke which didn't make any sense, he had barely finished telling the joke when he said "All right, that joke was ridiculous!"
** Subverted on one occasion when the audience underreacted to a joke Mitch was actually fond of. "That joke was better than you people are giving it credit for."
* [[So Unfunny ItsIt's Funny]]: Mitch was a notoriously casual performer, mixing in half-finished and unfunny jokes right beside legitimately brilliant and hilarious one-liners. The juxtaposition made the bad ones ''even funnier''.
{{quote| "I have a sweet tooth." (Scattered laughter) "I think I messed something up with that last joke. I apologize."}}
* [[Stoners Are Funny]]
Line 61:
** "If 13 is unlucky, then so should the letter "B" be. 'Cause "B" looks like a scrunched-together 13."
*** "Hi, what's your name?" "Bob." "Get the ''fuck'' away!"
* [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]]
{{quote| ''Hey man, you know that story about that woman that drove her and her kids into a river?''<br />
''Yeah?''<br />
