Demetri Martin - Equality Now's 2018 Make Equality Reality Gala

[@theTRUTHgroup]

Even in awkward venues like this, Demetri is still one of the greats!

[@mattrogers6835]

I don't particularly care what the cause is, Demetri Martin is one funny guy. And that alone should stand on its merits. He always make me laugh.

[@team3383]

He seems to have smoked ONE spliff in middle school and stayed up writing funny jokes. He has then made a 15 years career telling the same old jokes over and over again. Even HE must be over bored with them. Funny once. Thats it. Even ten years later they're not funny a second time around.

[@PFTome]

I love his extended version of this joke: The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades, especially if your teammates are bad guessers. The only time worse would be during a game of Fake Heart Attack followed by naps.

[@DisNugguhRiteHer]

He’s so easily relatable, how can he perform with such silence from the crowd? They must all still be thinking about his first joke.

[@RestoreTechnique]

I think the venue acoustics weren't great for hearing the crowd

[@adamgilligan6898]

that song he was playing sounded like " We could be friends"

[@linkbiff1054]

This has got to be his most depressing set I’ve seen. Toughest crowd ever.

[@joegibbskins]

What happened to this guy’s career?

[@miyalys]

Probably seems that way partially because there weren't mic's picking up the audience, so when they laugh loudly it's still faint.

[@BBQAbuser]

Demetri is the best!... Laaaaadies.

[@ec6933]

Man I like him but this was rough. Weirdly you can tell he's nervous

[@SSEasygoing]

Hes nervous because hes telling jokes to a room of sensitive uppity self victimizing egomaniacs.

[@catrats7296]

i think he's also stoned as fuck, look at his red eyes and the way he paranoidly goes into how much comedians love galas about 50 seconds in

[@ObscurityIsBest]

I think he may have just been in a time crunch, and that's why he appeared nervous.

[@hanishag]

I think he could tell it was not going to be a good crowd, and that’s why he seemed anxious.

[@miyalys]

@@SSEasygoing wtf, way to insult him as well

[@thegee-tahguy4877]

That guitar is a Voyage Air VAOM-02 or 03 foldable guitar.

[@nexusgiga]

The ladies bit didn’t add the creep factor like it used to

[@trent_k]

His inflection wasn’t the same

[@ChristianBoesch]

Probably hard to do at an “equality” event.

[@amydutcher970]

. . . . Ladies . . (My fave).

[@jswaggart01]

I love watching Demetri and he definitely makes me laugh. I especially like the way he plays guitar, I wish I could do that. He was very good in that Woodstock movie.

[@swim_ad]

Demetri is a pro

[@kelconway5792]

People at these types of events don't laugh easily. They are always so uptight and serious.

[@bobphan]

his timing is phenomenal

[@hopeziemba8236]

Idk why ppl are saying skip to 215 like he’s still being funny before that. 😂

[@vexphoto]

Does he play a “Martin”?

[@jamiecohen7313]

It's a Voyage Air guitar!

[@MrPr1nglz]

@@jamiecohen7313 r/woooosh Still though, thanks for the knowledge!

[@jamiecohen7313]

@@MrPr1nglz Oh I got the joke; was just trying to be helpful....cool move referencing Reddit on KZbin tho

[@Joenasr]

Talking about a tough crowd!!!!

[@LMike2004]

Start at 2:17

[@Gallo_1.6]

skip to 2:15

[@JakeLondonRivers]

The fajita joke really never lands, I see it in almost every new skit LOL he needs to stop

[@DLKnightstick1989]

Demetri is too intelligent for this crowd.

[@Alex-kn5tr]

or maybe they weren't there to see him. performing at an event like this is much different than a regular show given theres much more going on than just comedy. doesnt matter whos performing or whos attending it'll typically end up like this

[@MakeSomeNoisePlaylists]

and by crowd you mean AMERICA.....we sure know.....

[@MrSpankee02]

I’ve been in many drum circles...still not rich.

[@Tictac-s2e]

@4:18 AGREED

[@Fabi1701A]

His looks like Dustin Hoffman and Tom cruise !

[@PenAirPilot]

Quirky slightly non PC quirky comic and then some NP puts him in front of a terrible crowd... Further proof that the heart of the common person has died.

[@purplegill10]

You could hear them laughing the entire time. They just didn't mic up the crowd

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Great crowd...

[@edu-kt]

How about equality and justice for EVERYBODY?

[@miyalys]

Save the children doesn't mean **** adults, same with this, same with black lives matter.

[@NELOPES7]

Oh amazing . Ten year old material

[@trent_k]

NELOPES7 I can’t tell if you are impressed with the staying power of his jokes, or being snarky because you expect people to keep making new things for you.

[@adriancustodio5818]

Ice bear playing my guitar

[@70stunes71]

🌠👍😅👏👏👏👏

[@carsonfrith5051]

tough crowd pal

[@JTheoryScience]

this was performed to quick, and with less pauses which made it less impactful. it was better the first time but all jokes i heard that ide never heard before seemed less funny then ide expect them to be, dispite them being as wise and im expecting.

[@amydutcher970]

. . . . t o o . . . . 2 o's. Go on . . . . .

[@jackflora5123]

2018 and no new jokes?

[@kronk358]

You dont waste new material at a shitty fund raiser gala. Especially if the fundraiser is going to post video of it. You save it for specials.

[@gastonforde2121]

Ice bear.

[@nandezification]

Bullshit Gala. Good comedy.

[@Person-ro6uh]

He does not want to be here lol.

[@snupmadra3787]

In fairness it's very hard to be an SJW and also have a sense of humour.

[@miyalys]

Not at all, but there aren't mics picking up the audience so their reactions are very faint.

[@yonihales9133]

When a comedian has a bad night it's like watching a super model acting sexy at 90. Or a millionaire behaving pretentious after going broke.

[@drasticwillb]

Or a former stolen base champion at an old timers game.

[@yonihales9133]

@@drasticwillb or a 52 yo man forgetting hes old while talking to a 24 yo girl...getting a little too personal for me :( lol

[@GforceProdComp]

He's awesome, but this was definitely not his best.

[@tomhenning2809]

WoodenSaucer I was thinking the exact same.

[@cupass6179]

oof

[@trauf777]

standup comedy is good in bars, maybe in theaters. i guess crowd are sit in table and they eat/ drink. once i did standup comedy in restaurant and that was hell. crowd in restaurant like places dont give a fuck about guy on stage. they eating and chatting. not good idea making standup comedy show for restaurant organizators.

[@fergalsullivan3282]

Go back to doing magic David !

[@harrygrimley4352]

Too quiet. I'm out.

[@misanthrope541]

I wouldn't blame him if he became a misogynist after that audience. Never heard an audience react to DM like that. Come to think about it, I almost didn't hear this one.

[@miyalys]

Fortunately he's a rational being so he's not a misogynist. The audience wasn't mic'd up, it's pretty simple.

[@McMillanScottish]

Good thing this guy hasn't got a political opinion or his jokes would suck. ;)

[@ChristianBoesch]

Haha

[@davenone7312]

I couldn't even break a smile over this horrible secondhand material!! He has lost it should just retire from the comedy scene as he has no new material to make anyone even giggle!
