Dane Cook thought they were good enough to steal, but then again when has he ever been a good judge of, well, anything...

I just watched his dvd Demetri Martin. Person. a couple of days ago. I thought the stand-up bits were hilarious (and I enjoyed him on The Daily Show also), but his music was just annoying. I was also heavily reminded of Mitch Hedberg, which I don't mind at all.

Just watched a clip on youtube. Meh.

Now, that chick who does the filipino nail salon bit, NOW THATS KAAAAAMEDY!

i heart him. the randomness of his stuff makes me giggle.

i discovered him on youtube and thought he was pretty hilarious
someone had made a powerpoint out of his whole jokes on a guitar bit and it was quite entertaining

his show starts tonight i think, anyone seen it yet?
the commercials were kinda funny

Watched Demetri Martin's new show first episode, pretty hit and miss... seemed like a cross between Steve Martin and Mitch Hedberg.

Steve Martin did the original sketch on "timing" time-ing... etc...
Mitch Hedberg's peculiar observations and timing seem almost ripped off here.

Eh it wasn't horrible but I definitely got the feeling he was really ripping off these two comedians.

I liked it but I was stoned and I don't know that much about other comedians. I did think it was a little ridiculous to be making Millivanilli jokes in 2009. I think we can let that one die already.

I was pretty disappointed w/ the first episode...I've liked him for a few years now and was looking forward to watching it...but the show just wasn't that funny. If you're familiar with his standup (which is pretty identical to what he does on the show, with all his pictures and music), the humor on the show just seemed like he was trying too hard and fell short. I didn't think the sketches were funny at all. I'm still gonna watch and maybe I'll change my mind about it.

ME TOO! But i swear comedy central ruins everyone funny by giving them a prime time show. The previews looked funnier so i hope it gets better as episodes go on because he is a funny dude, but i just hope Com. Cent. is regulating his show or something because i know he is funnier than that. I like the comment earlier about him being comparable to Mitch Hedberg, very short odd jokes.
