Demetri Martin Performs a Hilarious Standup Set

Comedian Demetri Martin took the stage to perform a hilarious standup set! Just like Ellen, he has a Netflix special, called "Demetri Martin: The Overthinker."

That audience don't deserve Demetri Martin

[@PiitaaDerbez]

I don't think none of us "deserve" him 😂 (he sucks)

[@nbm14120]

It's Ellen, so it's a bunch of women

[@webbit1518]

Ellen doesnt deserve him. They try to control their presentation and content then the comedians end up losing their timing.

[@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon]

He's bruuuuuutal

[@t.b.8837]

*doesn't

[@TherockNrollbeauty13]

A lot of people don’t get his humor but if you watch his actual standup specials, you’ll see why this doesn’t do him justice. He’s such a funny guy.

[@PiitaaDerbez]

He's just not funny

[@webbit1518]

These talks shows try to clean up and organize the way comedians present their jokes. It really takes away their timing and freeness of speech

[@DGMUSICisGOOD]

@@PiitaaDerbez he is, just different vibe

[@jimdomi6206]

yeah he did some story telling on this one,,,he mostly does the short sentences

[@ThunderPants13]

What all these people who are saying he's not that funny are really saying is "I'm not smart enough to understand his jokes."

[@Nordorf]

Demetri did good. It's just that a room full of Ellen fans isn't really his target audience. They don't get "quirky".

[@cepo888]

They don't get at,....at all....Demetri rocks

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

Then they wouldn't get Ellen circa 1993 either. That's when I became a fan of hers, shortly before she got her sitcom. She wasn't a 1 liner like Martin, but she was just as quirky.

[@berettoberetto7856]

Yep, I agree. Ellen audience not really his crowd but he is brilliant.

[@PenAirPilot]

When you "bomb" on ellen you WIN AT LIFE. Too meta...too smart. Long Live DM

[@SteveGovern]

Came here to say that. They seemed to get the cleaning joke though.

[@izzyflowers]

Damn. That audience is not great. This guy is a legend.

[@judyl.761]

Yeah, he’s funny but that wasn’t his best set.

[@hemp4haters]

Yeah but Ellen liked it so who cares !

[@yootooberkev15]

Demetri's jokes are too sophisticated for this audience.

[@strats991]

@Eric Grijalva The audience members? Yes.

[@trent_k]

Eric Grijalva low brow would be poop jokes

[@NeyoBearGaming]

Some version of this comment is on like every Demetri Martin video, and it never failes to exude incel energy.

[@didicoy72]

Barney's jokes are too sophisticated for this audience 🤡

[@jameshepenstall3900]

At least they're laughing, some other vids of his there's silence except for 1 or 2.

[@emersonlopez-cruz2029]

Demetri Martin, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated observational comics of all time.

[@ItsNotRealLife]

How is he underrated? He's on The Ellen Show and just about everybody on here says he's brilliant so how on earth is he underrated?

[@brokenwave6125]

He is famous and successful... He's had many specials and albums and even his own TV show. How is he underrated?

[@ItsNotRealLife]

@@brokenwave6125 Somebody always says that about comics, actors, singers and bands when they clearly weren't

[@JackieDaytona1776]

We're all on a Demetri Martin video. We know who he is. We know how great he is. But too many people don't. He is underrated. Kevin Hart and Amy Schumer are superstars, which is fine for them, but Martin is a lot smarter and funnier but doesn't get the same level of recognition.

[@munchkin0518]

For 0.0002 seconds, he looked like Tom Cruise.

[@ashleyaqua9104]

munchkin0518 mixed with the guy that plays the devil in the good place

[@garystarnes5178]

I thought he looked a little like Tom Cruise and a younger Henry Winkler. :)

[@tanja1372]

I saw Ray Romano

[@solomonlind5875]

Except a foot taller

[@kamranahmad4592]

Right at 2:14 when he does the cruise joke

[@pwinza]

Ray Romano and Tom Cruise have some explaining to do

[@prizcawood6932]

I was thinking the same thing!!

[@skinnyddd]

Lol

[@maggietheiring2224]

😂🤣

[@webbit1518]

Blahaha i started to pass by your comment and as i was scrolling down i just got the joke!! and came back...HaHa im a bit slow.

[@sherriejones4237]

Omg I'm dieing laughing!!!

[@MikePulcinellaVideo]

Great comic, one of my favorites. This is just not his audience.

[@killumination87]

He would have to drop his iq by 30 points to be able to relate to the audience.. ahaha

[@personal61319]

agreed

[@kanescrimes4848]

Exactly my thoughts. As soon as I saw the title I was thinking, "Demetri performing for an Ellen audience?...that doesn't seem right" His jokes have always been rather cerebral, and the majority of Ellen audiences are not.

[@recusantbile9829]

Word. You can tell he dumbed it down after the fajita joke.

[@Maatjuhhh]

Very funny. Especially clever play on the words of roof, ceiling and attic of the mouth..

[@maenolan5970]

Actual comedian: *makes funny joke* Ellen’s audience: I sleep 😴 Ellen: *makes unfunny joke* Ellen’s audience: HAHAHAHAHA 😂😂

[@idonthaveanysubscribers5284]

He's like Mitch Hedberg if Mitch Hedberg could make eye contact

[@josiahkatomd6141]

IDontHaveAnySubscribers He has good content, among the guys we have now. He can be a Mitch.

[@opelaurora3276]

Demitri Martin's jokes are just thoughts everyone has when they can't fall asleep.

[@theOrbitdeck]

Watch his "If I" special. It will melt your mind. He's a genius.

[@AsheshDubey]

- Hey do you like Hotels? - Yeah - How about one that could sink? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mo7amed164]

😂😂😂😂😂no

[@ItsNotRealLife]

He drowned in the Pacific No he drowned ON the Pacific just down that little hole right there - that's funny? I must be missing something

[@FatalChaz33]

Good set, clueless audience.

[@nexus1g]

This is like an open mic where they just shotgun streams of jokes to test for a real act.

[@webbit1518]

Room full of politically correct libs is a hard to break...They have to process all his jokes thru their politically correct software program before they can laugh, so they have a bit of a delayed reaction...

[@grantnoroyan9275]

he is so funny been watching him for years now

[@experssion123]

Love you

[@killerkimm]

His material often has play-on-words and requires the audience to infer (e.g. the fajitas joke). They didn't catch on and he did his best to plow through. He managed to get a better reaction towards the end, Props

[@binnurdinc7805]

I was actually scrolling through the comments to find someone that's explained the fajita joke... (have mercy on me english isnt my native language AND Im a big fan, I just didnt get it)

[@austinlittke7688]

@@binnurdinc7805 i still don't get it

You get it just close enough and the dustpan just swooshes back. Or tilts up and the dust just goes under it. Argh! It does not want to help get up that dust!

[@shanac5536]

He is my all time favorite comedian! He takes the stuff we all do and knows that we all struggle with the same stuff every day and makes it hilarious!

[@vladimirpereira2009]

WHAAATTT? Ice bear doing stand up comedy!!!?!?!?

[@thesadwolf]

That's like watching Eddie Murphy do stand up and say "WHAAAAT? Donkey doing stand up comedy!!!???

[@kpcinema8955]

Has always been my favourite comedian.

[@GforceProdComp]

He needed his guitar to hypnotize the crowd.

[@4ourty5ive]

Can't tell if people actually never heard of him or are doing the "He's going places" joke about a somewhat legend here lol

[@ianmusgrove1814]

He's such a good comic. Loved the bit.

[@jessicafenstamaker4890]

This made my day! I used to listen to him when I was probably 13-14 and LOVED him. I made all of my friends listen to him too! Hard to believe I started listening to his comedy acts a decade ago!

[@juliannemclaughlin6352]

He’s one of the only comedians that makes me laugh out loud.

[@summerxsixteen9010]

If you have not seen any of this guy’s Netflix special standups I suggest you watch them after watching this I would not have found him funny what so ever had I not previously watched his Netflix specials so to do him justice go watch his standup on Netflix he is actually hilarious contrary to what you just watched

Definitely a young Tom cruise twin! Lol. This was different to have a stand up & I loved it! Great idea. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ELLEN!! 😍😍😍😍😘

[@M101zz]

Wow very smooth transitions

[@robwhitmore3040]

Clearly never seen Rodney Dangerfield, Steve Martin or Eddy Murphy do stand up.

[@westwardpomonagyrl4358]

His show back in the day was sooooo funny!!

[@Haleyonthe_daily]

Love him, always one of my faves.

[@NerdorkNation]

Ellen's audience this day was not "the sharpest tool in the tool house..."

[@epulkyu]

i'm typing his name in the search bar for more!!

[@romefox]

Hadnt seen him in a while, I love this guy. Watched his show on CC years ago.. This is definitely not the right audience for him.

[@CarlScripter]

I love the tension when the audience isn't quite into it... Demetri totally goes into full troll-mode, which is almost funnier than the jokes themselves. Genius 😎

[@BBGLEED]

I get the feeling that people that don't find him funny don't understand the fajita joke, and that tells us everything.

[@grumbles]

Wait I really like him, but for some reason I don't get the fajita joke. Help me lol

[@howisthatgay4275]

His delivery of it wasn’t good in this video tbh

[@jasonsutterfield1638]

Ellen looks like Alfred E. Newman of Mad magazine, that's the whole joke.

[@jhiatt1516]

I love how you can instantly tell it’s a video shot on the Ellen set just from the style of camera shot

[@efil4saaggin]

its great to see Demetri! such a great comic!

[@lamann2437]

We SO needed him throughout Covid!!!

I’ve been a fan of this guy since middle school!!

I've never heard any of his middle school material.

He looks like Tom Cruise meets Ray Romano...😂 He’s hilarious

[@Jivolt]

Ellen = Awesome. Ellen audience = Apparently does not understand brilliant comedy.

He looks like the secret love child of Tig Notaro and Tom Cruise.

He's a genius So glad to hear his jokes again Glad he's back!

[@gemini_val]

I loved the part with self-driving cars with dogs ❤️🤣🐶

[@qwertstrewq]

All of those jokes are from Demetri's own stand-up show, "The Overthinker". Watch it only on Netflix everyone!

He's one of my fav comedians and this was hilarious. But the Ellen crowd is maybe not right for him.

[@albertkolb2265]

Agree with you, I saw him live a few years ago, he’s a good clean comic, I prefer a dirty comic like Louis but this guys pretty funny, I like simple observational humor

the best comedian in the business

[@ajamico]

Most of this set was his older stuff. Good none the less

[@Harloha]

Ellen's fan base is not intelligent enough to understand how funny this man is.

The dog joke at the end omg. “That’s it!”

[@ddebenedictis]

I am now looking forward to seeing that car full of dogs.

[@celestialmind9506]

Not bad. Actually the funniest one out of all the others that come on shows like this to do stand up.
