I'm just saying that most of their first two records own that song.

Plus I'm right about Hedberg dammit. Steven Wright is the king of the one liner.

You're wrong. Both are excellent in their own right.

I assume you are talking about Steven Wright and not the Pink Floyd keyboardist or the African-American author.

Yes. Not high.

I've loved each and every one of Hedberg's jokes that were posted in here. He's a great writer. But evertime I've seen him preform (on TV) he's bothered me because while very good, it's hard to argue that he's not derritvative of Wright. (or perhaps they'll all derritative of somebody better, I could be wrong).

Yes, I am exactly this defensive. That and I'm on vacation at my folk's place, I've already played my 6 hands for the day, and boredom is starting to sink in

One-line comics that are actually good are like good knuckleball pitchers. You appreciate when they come along, and you don't worry so much about Wilhelm v. Neikro.
