Do, Dump, or Marry? Demetri Martin

TresSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:00:00 -0700

Demetri Martin is one of my favorite funny guys. His surreal sense of humor (plus his "I am one of the missing Beatles" look) is totally endearing. He's even described as a geeky dreamboat by people who keep tabs on that sort of thing. (The guy attended Yale and NYU School of Law on a full scholarship!)

Now, add actor to his list of accomplishments. He's starring in Ang Lee's film Taking Woodstock, which opens today. I can't wait to see it! But what about his other charms?

Saying "Ladies" - Yay or Nay?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:00:20 -0700

I love Demetri Martin's bit about how adding the word "ladies" to the end of a sentence automatically makes you sound like a creep. I admit, the word "ladies" often makes me cringe, though some of my guy friends seem to think it's classy. I guess it's better than referring to a group of women as "girls" or "my b*tches!" . . . but still. What say you?

The Results Are In: Your Pick For Funniest Male Standup Comedian of 2008

You can't resist the cute funny dudes, and I don't blame you one bit. The results are in for GiggleSugar's best male stand-up comedian of 2008, and the honor goes to Demetri Martin! I am also a big fan his stand-up (for proof of his funny, give this vid a watch). Thumbs up, Demetri.

Very close behind were Dane Cook and Jim Gaffigan, another one of my faves. Notable write-in candidates included Jeff Dunham and the late, great Bernie Mac. To see who else is getting some love across the Sugar network, check out the rest of our Best of 2008 coverage.

Demetri Martin Explains the World

GiggleSugar — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Whether he's explaining the height-to-drunk-to-funny ratio (shorter and drunker is funnier), the breakdown of who owns a Hummer (hint: douchebags, dildos, and .01 percent of poets), and at what point he will not listen to a cute girl talk about her cat, Demetri really does make it look easy. He's like the male Ellen DeGeneres. He turns the everyday into comedy gold.

This routine from Demetri gives you a window into the oddball thoughts jostling around in his head at any given moment, if thoughts were accompanied by soft guitar.

The Daily Show: College Grads & Credit Cards

GiggleSugar — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:30:00 -0700

What's the newest trend on college campuses? Credit card debt. (Actually, it's an old trend, but...) The Daily Show's youth correspondent Demetri Martin reports on the advantages ~~and disadvantages~~ of "investing" with many different credit cards at one time and having the freedom to literally pay for stuff with your ass. Boop!

Demetri Martin Plays Guitar

GiggleSugar — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 09:24:11 -0700

Demetri Martin plays guitar and riffs on quirky and random stuff, like the Futon World where he lived and being a street musician in a suburban cul-de-sac. This is long, but it's Sunday. You have time!

Money Woes Mean No Woodstock Anniversary Concert

TresSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:30:49 -0700

If you want to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Woodstock this Summer, you'll have to head to a movie theater. Thanks to a lack of money and sponsors, a previously planned commemorative concert won't be happening.

The original promoters of Woodstock had planned to hold a free concert in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, an event that was sure to replace hippies with hipsters.

At least Hollywood's here to re-create the epic concert. Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock opens on Aug. 28 and the cast includes some geeky dreamboats, like Emile Hirsch and Demetri Martin. All is not lost.
