I’m scared to ask: what’d he do?
He still likes them. He just used to too.
Part of me thinks he'd appreciate more than most how truly funny it can be to explain a joke after the delivery of the punchline
Edit ok all of me thinks that
This makes me smile
Mitch is one of the best, most wholesome, funniest stand up comics you will ever likely see. If you haven't you should. His whole schtick was just himself. A stand up comic with legitimate stage fright and anxiety in crowds. He was an absurd contradiction and made absurdity his brand. Owning it. Watching him on stage he would constantly find ways to avoid starring out at the crowd. The aviator shades. Playing with his hair. At one set he just announced to the crowd that he was gonna turn around for a while. Like it was a bit. But still continued the set without missing a beat. Died of an OD at 37 unfortunately.
He still does, he just used to as well.
Its another one of his jokes.
"I used to like blank. I still do, but I used to as well"
His joke was that he used to do drugs.
He gave us the gift of laughter in a really kind, genuine way. And the joke, as others have explained, is a riff on one of his better known one-liners.
I mean, I still love him. But I used to, too.
Edit: I'm pretty sure the joke was: I used to do a lot of drugs. I mean, I still do. But I used to, too.
