"My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter, but I don't want them too. I'm like, 'Hey... Hold on fellows... Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf.' Koala bears are so cute, why do they have to be so far away from me. We need to ship a few over, so I can hold one, and pat it on its head."
What I loved about Mitch was, his comedy was never at anyone's expense. He had a certain persona that he played, but he always had so much heart in his work. He had a sweetness that was just charming and great, and even though his jokes were the Seinfeld-observational-humor variety, there was a wonderfully warped world-view he was always expressing.
I also love his wordplay jokes, and meta-jokes--jokes that play with the concept of jokes. "I used to do drugs. I still do drugs, but I used to do them too." I mean, that's some funny shit!
