I don't find Demitri to be funny...But I find him incredibly fascinating...I just like listening to him he kinda makes you think about things differently. :D He's a cool dude. :)

[@GreatGoatRebellion]

I can't believe so few people laughed at the 'Being Present' thing. That was clever. :c

[@MarkMcDaniel]

Most people aren't very deep. I quite enjoyed it as well.

[@clampmotosua1789]

If your just average intelligence then half the world is less intelligent than you.

[@mynameplussumnumbers]

Demetri is a genius! This is the best and most personal comedy sketch I've ever seen. It's not even a sketch, more a 'motivating, insightful lecture'.

[@Klarpimier]

walks out with a shirt that says "Demitri," comes back and it says "Me tired"

[@MonkeydluRMXP]

I've lost count of how many times I've already watched this XD what a amazing show

[@boogyfunker12]

i must have watched this 9 times now its awsome

[@snowblind021]

i love this!

[@seu754e5rjdjf7]

I know. I just liked all the subtle jokes he does throughout the show without ever even mentioning them.

[@deviaan]

This is...amazing

[@legendsmith1]

thats awesome how he moved the letters around on his shirt thx for posting

[@triphmm]

loved the pictures

[@turkey227]

holy crap. he is acually really inspirational and a genius.

[@ThaJoker71]

i like how he changed "demetri" into "me tried" that was very clever of him as was the entire show

[@7ItalianStallion]

Bro I was so big on this dude in highschool back in 06. Can't believe the time flew by this fast

[@70stunes71]

And all of these years later of course, it all makes so much sense to the person who is introverted to the point of self-examination. What a world we would have if all of us did this. At least those that heeded the mistakes they found in their life and changed them

[@forthashorteez]

Dude hes so smart and interesting, i love watching this

[@tmdrake]

Finally a stand up i enjoy! I love the charts...Exactly when i did all my life...Graphs and statistical data, very logical!

[@dux14]

Demetri Martin is one of my favorite people ever.

[@rockerchik19]

i LOVE this dude!! hes so funny!!!!

[@benjula2008]

@ProjectMaks probably about my 5th time watching this over the years and that's the first time i've ever noticed it ha.

[@cnntw]

during the 35 pt week when he is on the train...skull and crossbones is sitting next to him

[@Stongna_Bologna]

Dimitri Martin is one of the only comedians whose comedy I can't predict and that's why I love it

[@TheDarksterZane]

I havn't seen something as fascinating and engaging as this since dave gormans google whacking adventure. Happened around the same year or so to.

[@SlipAllCityToy]

This guy really is merited! ^^

[@WhiteKatIncorporated]

Insightful.

[@ThejenniferEsteban]

The slideshow was hilarious!!!

[@monkey2orbry]

i fucking lvoe this dude. hes like 100% amazing.

[@AngelArm45]

my favorite line in this is when he's talking about the final version of the weekly point thing, and he says "i did this in word, this is very difficult"

[@TheGlassPassenger]

i know man! he's got some great perspective.

[@skyman741]

Sometimes he'll laugh and nobody else will. like he does jokes that he finds funny and it doesnt matter wether or not other people do.

[@buwka]

i know that, i meant i've never seen this particular show of his on american TV i'm well aware of his 2 current specials that are aired in america as well as the one coming out in february. i even went to his last special, i sat in the 5th row at austin, texas and watched him live.

[@Mints1986]

I see what you did there. Well done.

[@creepyfootdoctor]

well this is one of his specials where he just talked about himself. I really like this because it kind of reminds me of myself, but his comedys are really funny too.

[@KandL507]

This is my favorite thing anyone's ever said

[@Based_Druid]

everything he says is pretty depressing but he makes it funny. and he's a genius. great job man.

[@jonesyzajkolove]

Anyone notice the irony of the book title at 5:14?

[@Weslo2]

i like how when he comes back out after the slideshow his shirt says 'me tried' which re-arrangd is still demetri XD this guy is a genious

[@Ryger]

I decided to do it too. It really is a good thing, makes you more self aware.

[@anny333474]

i know, man. he's one of a kind.

[@weirddude14]

I'm totally going to use this point system

[@alkevinzmedia]

This is the best Ted talk yet 🧐

[@toast0127]

i love how his shirt changed during the show

[@BallParkFigures]

Genius

[@fLcGambit]

is this like a new form of comedy? i like it quite genius

[@kayaksta]

looking for comedy...now i feel oddly inspired to better myself. Thanks Demetri

[@ABookByAnyOtherName]

his point system is actually a good idea GO DEM!!!

[@BradWest96]

@zhenkaDoesWonders I noticed that too. This guys unbelievable.

[@Goldenwolf546]

@TheSameTeam yea ur right thanks for pointing that out!

[@alex45617]

@oscarkev190 The book is about "Being Present" while the character is doing the complete opposite by focusing exclusively on the book.

[@glebber8709]

nice catch. :]

[@HallerSamsa]

I find him very inspiring....

[@bloodpalidin]

im going to make one of those charts..

[@Mance200]

@wookie808There's a site you can get to by googling "Anagrams of names", I forgot the domain name, but it does exist.

[@54mor1544c]

this is like.....a motivational speech.

[@kehnie]

@lawljowk he rearranged the letters in his name! awesome!

[@ValleNation]

when we changed his shirt that he grabed rearranged his own name....that is awesome

[@xLolitaxRagxDollx]

really .. he is a genius

[@thefightinggopher]

he is really philosophical/insightful. i think we devote so much of our lives to things that mean nothing. but at the same time i think we do need some purpose or validation

[@buwka]

and for the record, it's not a special coming out this february, it's his own TV show.

[@Kanubai]

HE DID THAT IN WORD!

[@currentlyno]

if he didnt mention that on the show, good find!

[@ChocoboKirby]

I like how Demitri becomes Me Tried as the show progressed :D

[@The_Cactus_Bunch]

And here you said it twice in one sentence.

[@101iswhatsup]

A philosopher's comedian indeed.

[@noorkika]

hes so freaking smart

[@AznPunk1134]

He is genius!

[@mariexox15]

i love his shirt change :)

[@Heffalompen82]

Love the shirt change, and what do u know. Me tried could also be spelled Demetri:P

[@tangycheezexists]

'I did this in word, this is very difficult!' Oh, Demitri :)

[@BakuBanzai]

I almost cried at the bus part omg lol

[@NekoJesusPie]

I was having a drink while watching thing and I was like "yea, I can relate to a nerdy guy, he's funny" and then when I heard "Do something for Jen!" I spilled my drink over the drawing I was making for Jen....

[@pyrobunny9]

Half of the time when I'm watching this stand-up I'm not even laughing, I'm just thinking about everything that he says.

[@mrfielder2121]

This video won't play on my computer. And i really want to watch it

[@StrongGaia]

@Cass25916 Yeah I know that, I watched all six parts too, but it was only about halfway through this part I realised his shirt didn't say "demetri" anymore.

[@pyrofanatic69]

His shirt is changed with the letter in his name. Demetri to me tried. AWESOME

[@SilverCrow33]

his watch is cute lol and he's a genius!

[@Goldenwolf546]

@poptartsman3 His shirt is a palindrome too "me tried - demetri"

[@wiseguy989]

thanks notebook

[@Cyrano652]

If I watch this one more time, I will fall into a coma.

[@vennaford]

yo is this guy some kind of genious or somthing

[@CCSoundgardenCC]

I Did this in word...thats difficult...so true

[@eternalanime]

Lol, so true. He makes me think, a lot, about life..?

[@JCDrums19]

i just noticed how now his shirt says "me tried" and before said "demetri"

[@TacticusPrime]

He's crazy, but awesome.

[@ruffdog]

Oh my gosh if you noticed it his shirt changed from demetri to me tried. and then if you scrambled up demetri its me tried. That's really cool!

[@hamp1995]

this guy should write a book.

[@JoeSchmo987]

yea and the letters in 'demetri' spell out what his new shirt says 'me tried'

[@Kent6494]

"i did this in word, this is very difficult"

[@8423MusicGenius]

Awesome comment.

[@mamfi7530]

It's fun

[@Bookoowookoo]

"What did I learn from all this, what can I conclude from all this analisis" "I have no fucking clue". I spent a half a year of my life doing this, every week.". "I dont know I honestly dont know". LMFAO! This guy is my hero.

[@herby190]

I thought the "returned all phone calls" part for when he was on the toilet was genius.

[@flyersfan10]

@Mysteriousone11 my advice: better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. thank you for speaking, sir or m'am.

[@Gibb9494]

Palindrome- Spelled same forwards and backwards Anagram- Same letters different word/phrase/sentance

[@Oxa1]

hahahah!!! thats the best !! hes awesome!! haha

[@seymorebutts6565]

so does the crowd (forever alone).

[@thenameroryistaken]

he's AMAZING. smart, hilarious, and hot! demetri is awsome me tired. :)

[@starryskies88]

Wow, there are still actually deep, pensive yet funny guys out there.

[@alishahamdani8969]

Watch the last episode for prt 1 but that's all make your own ending !!!

[@pmcrimson]

ah, sorry about that. typed faster than i was thinking. you are correct.

[@jshyne213]

Its a one man show not a stand up so yes he is more then a comedian.
