Demetri Martin Cracks on Tressel (kind of)
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 have often eaten at the diner his family owns. I am very proud of this. He is awesome, even if his show was meh.
He is not funny, at least in my opinion. Reminds me of someone who would write one of those terrible parody movie scripts. But to each his own....
One of the last people I would look to for comedy advice would be a guy named "Coners Boners."
Coner's Boners
haha you base this completely off his handle. sure must know a lot about the guy.
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.
i went to sasquatch too. demetri martin cancelled. i did catch aziz ansari though.
I saw Demetri at Meadow Brook once and he was hilarious. It was a great time, I'd recommend trying to see him live.
