Demetri Martin show trailer - disappointing (to me)...

Also, Tom's River is weirdosville.

Please 'splain.  (I'm from Brick which in my opinion outweirds Toms River.)

I am not kidding when I say that I received a PR spam e-mail at my work address about this show from Comedy Central and the guy who sent it was named Steve Albani. I like how this makes it seem like it's being publicized by a fake Steve Albini.

yeah, Brick is a freak machine.

I beg youse guys for your insights into my native land.

My theory is that since the only "culture" anywhere nearby is the Point Pleasant and Seaside boardwalks, and because the entire economy is sustained by people selling slices of pizza and chiropractic services to each other, kids there have to turn inward, or go into the woods or swamps, to stay sane.  And they fail.

Also, guido central.

Sorry everyone, to go back to the main point here..

But I feel like Mr. Martin knows the fight setup is a Seinfeld gag. I think he's paying homage to a show that he grew up with. I don;t think it's something to hold against the guy.

I did find the copy shop joke lame. I agree there.

Somebody help me with this math problem...

Zach Galifianakis + Eugene Mirman - (funny) x Zach Braff = ?

[andrew_in_bk]

This guy?

[samir]

Have you guys been watching this show? I'm not too impressed, though it's always nice to see our old pal Jon Benjamin on the gold and silver screen.

[Martin]

Same here, Samir. I'm not onboard anymore.

I cannot look at Demetri Martin without thinking that his whole life was written and directed by Wes Anderson.

[Regular Joe]

I agree with Samir and Jon.

I also want to add that I think Demetri's problem is relying too heavily on style, over crafting decent jokes. It feels like a Chappelles Show with all the goodness scraped out of it.

Saw it last night for the first time and liked it better than I thought I would. I think the presence of Jon Benjamin helps quite a bit. But I don't know how many times I'd tune in in the future; a little Demetri Martin goes a long way for me.

I haven't seen it, but I've inheirited a dislike for Demetri Martin ever since the time he invited my friend Danielle to hang out with him a few years ago after one of the Twinkle (I think?) shows, and ended up being really flakey and lame.
