Synopsis

Important Things with Demetri Martin is a sketch-variety show that aired on Comedy Central starring comedian Demetri Martin.

All sketches, short vignettes, animated segments and stand-up comedy were loosely related to the theme of the episode. The show was produced by Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions, and contains stand-up, prop comedy and musical comedy by Martin, as well as taped sketches. Jon Stewart took an active role in editing the first few episodes.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Steve Adams This show is just stupid. I only know of Demetri Martin from the pieces he used to do on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I actually liked those segments he did and they were usually pretty funny. Maybe the problem here is that when he was on The Daily Show he had other people writing for him, because this show of his own is just tedious to watch. I hate it when people do something weird or that makes no sense and then say it's funny. Tom Green used to do that and since he had some success it seems a lot of people are doing his gross out stuff and his surreal stuff. Well it's just not funny. Also let's just say that it's kind of sad that an obviously 35-40 year old man is on TV pretending to be a teenager. Not hip or cool or whatever buzz word the network is trying to throw at us.
Greatornot Truly a genius program. I was surprised to find out that Mr. Martin was 36, he looks early 20's. I believe with this type of humor , his appearance works. Basically this is a program , where each episode has one word as its theme.The show I watched was about 'COOLNESS'. The complete 23 minute show is based around this one word , in the form of stand up/slapstick comedy and skits. Mr. Martin besides being a comic genius for writing this production is truly a fine comic as well. It is just so refreshing to see that someone can still come up with new ideas. If I have one criticism about the show, it is that it is basically a one man show , even in the skits. This is still worth your time, you shall be pleasantly surprised.
Hannah Nailor In my wildest dreams, I never thought that in today's era of reality television absurdities like "I Love New York" and "The Bad Girls Club" and, who could forget, "American Idol," a Comedy Central show would be the one to restore my faith in television.Important Things is a fresh gust of ingenuity and hilarity that emits from the mouth of the simply odd but genius host, Demitri Martin. It has all of things that were once great about SNL: hilarity, perfect duration, familiarity, and complete individuality. There are no sketches like Demitri Martin sketches. There is no style like Demitri Martin style.And perhaps that's why this show is listed as 'awaiting 5 votes' for an official rating. Because people aren't sure what to make of Martin. Well, here's what to make of the show: sleek.
athoat I was bored one and was flipping through the Comcast OnDemand titles. Nothing was catching my eye. When I came to Important Things I thought why not, it was probably be just another dumb Comedy Central show, but I liked Demetri Martins stand-up.I watched the first show and I couldn't keep from laughing no matter how hard I tried. I ended up watching all three shows that were there. I can't wait to watch this weeks show on Wednesday. I beg all who read this to give the show a try because I know most of you are going to get hooked, and I don't want Comedy Central to replace it in midseason with re-runs Mind of Menica. I just hope that if it ends up being canceled, it is replaced with a re-run of South Park or Futurama. It would be a shame that this TV treat wouldn't be on.The only complains is the scatological humor. I'm not into that stuff, but everything else is great.
