Demetri Martin Cracks on Tressel (kind of)

Submitted by Swayze Howell Sheen on
Demetri Martin is an awesome comedian. Check out his show on Comedy Central, or many youtube clips, or even his albums to find out more. Here we recount a recent joke about vests. "Vests exist to protect you from things. A life vest protects you from drowning. A bullet-proof vest protects you from getting shot. A sweatervest protects you from having a girlfriend." This bit was much too enjoyable not to post here where there is a particularly refined enmity towards all things sweatervest-y. For those who are uninitiated, Demetri Martin offers forth a brand of "nerd humor" which one might suspect would be popular among the mgoblog crowd. Some other examples: A friend asks "Do you have a Plan B if this comedian thing doesn't work out?" Martin: "Hell no! I number my plans" Another joke about batteries: "It's a good thing they don't have 'B' batteries. If they did, it would sound like you were stuttering when you asked for them." Finally, a random joke: "I wish I lived next to Carnegie Hall. Then, if someone asked me how to get to my house, I would just say 'Practice, practice, practice, and then take a left.'" And yes, this really doesn't have much to do with football. Other disclaimers: this was not written by Demetri Martin. This was not written with any real objective at all. Well, maybe one: to get you to go look up some Demetri Martin clips and enjoy them as much as I have. Is that so wrong?

I am seeing Demetri in Seattle this weekend. SASQUATCH FEST!!!! Look up the line-up, it is a freaking dream. Demetri is a smart comic and I like smart comics. Also, I like the name Coner's Boners. It made me laugh.
