Demetri Martin

I just saw this guy on Comedy Central Presents, and he was hilarious in a very XKCD kind of way.

Favorite joke: "If I ever saw an amputee being hanged, I'd just start yelling out letters."

    "If you wear camouflage in the woods, you blend in. But if you wear it in the city, you just look like an asshole."

    Really funny. Great find.

    My favorite jokes are...

    "I hate pinatas. Because pinatas are an excuse to beat up flamboyant animals. It's like 'Hey look, a donkey with some pizaz! Let's kick his ass!" What I'm trying to say is, don't make the same halloween costume mistake I did."

    "If I have to go up in a building, I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was going up an escalator and I tripped...I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half!"

    Awkward.

    I saw a guy with a suit and a briefcase, but he had an eye patch. All I could think was, "Yaaarrrr! Off to me office!"

    I was shopping the other day and this sales lady took me to the dressing room. She said, "If you need anything, I'm Jill." I said, "Oh my god. I've never met anyone before... with a conditional identity. Who are you if I don't need anything?"

    Yeah Demetri Martin is hilarious. He does some correspondence for the Daily Show now... only about once a month though.
  • lorddragonslayerlorddragonslayer
    I never saw that yet, I watch daily show all the time.

    I was very disappointed with his Comedy Central show.

    I watched a few clips that were funny, but I wouldn't want to watch several of them in a row (like his show). If the show involved other comedians and offered more than just his humor, I think it would work. Him on his own doing a watered down version of his stand-up every week? Not so much.

    I really loved his comedy central show. It just has this style about it that works.

    I found him to be more generally interesting than funny. His full length show "If" was on youtube, and I watched it all the way through, and had fun. I can't remember laughing much though.

    The thing I've noticed about Demitri Martin is that he is a lot like Mitch Hedberg with a sense of politics and stage presence.

    I dunno. I think that his Comedy Central show is actually quite funny. It's a very smart and snappy sense of humor. Not as funny as people like Lewis Black or Lavell Crawford, but still worth one's time.

    I just watched the special. Again, I smiled all the way through, but didn't laugh once. Fun stuff though.

    No Sir! My mother is gracious and accommodating. You and all the other dudes she's banging should appreciate that.

    His specials are good. His weekly show is lackluster.
    "Double Hawk" is a big thing in the MacRoss household.

    I was just thinking this...Mitch Hedberg with less drugs and more markers. Except I actually think most of Hedberg's stuff was funny. Of course, I know a lot of people who don't.

    Hedberg was an amazing comedian, his only problem was that he got so fucked up by stage fright and drugs that his delivery was often sub-par. The fact that despite this, he was one of the funniest people I've seen in a long while speaks greatly to his talent, I think.

    Demitri Martin also really reminds me of Flight of the Conchords.
