MITCH HEDBERG I USED TO DO DRUGS MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

This iconic clip originates from the 1999 'Comedy Central Presents' stand-up special featuring the legendary surrealist comedian Mitch Hedberg. Known for his unique stage presence and staccato delivery, Hedberg delivers what would become his most famous one-liner: 'I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.' The scene captures Mitch standing behind the microphone, glasses on, delivering the punchline with a signature deadpan shrug that perfectly subverts the audience's expectation of a recovery story. In internet culture, this clip is the gold standard for representing 'ironic consistency' or admitting to a lack of personal growth in a humorous way. It is commonly used to highlight habits, addictions, or personality traits that have remained unchanged over years, despite the passage of time. It resonates because it mocks the way people often frame their present behaviors as part of a distant past while simultaneously acknowledging they are still doing the exact same thing. Example caption ideas include: 'Me talking about my caffeine addiction,' 'When they ask if I still stay up until 3 AM for no reason,' and 'Me discussing my tendency to overthink every minor social interaction.'
