Summary: "Hot Potato Is A Very Different Game When The People Playing Are Starving..."
Comment: "Person" by Demetri Martin is a brilliant, intelligent, and very low-key stand up routine captured in a cable special, and now available on DVD. The DVD is short (around 40 minutes), but filled with gems. My only serious complaint about the DVD is that there are several previews at the beginning of the disc that you can't skip. Since I paid for the DVD, I resent having to watch ads for stuff I would never in a million years be interested in buying. Once the show starts, though, all is well.
Martin is known for using a guitar extensively during his monologues; here he also adds piano and bells to his act, and all help to produce a seamless and very funny show. The material is all over the map, from observations about linguistics and personal injury ("The easiest time to add insult to injury is when you're signing somebody's cast."), to a video game, "Super Busy Hospital", where you have to take care of the victims shot in all the other video games, and, of course, many uncategorizable bits ("If I ever saw an amputee being hanged, I would just shout out letters.")
There are a couple of short animated links that Martin made which tie segments of the special together. I was especially fond of the inquiry into the deeper life of porcupines, and also enjoyed Professor Irwin Glands discussing less common mythical creatures such as the amoebicorn and the paradoxotaur.
The DVD has many bonus features that more than make up for the short special running time. I liked that Martin did a commentary track with his mom and grandmother: he comes across as a very well-grounded, smart, and funny guy. I especially appreciated that the material here is not lowbrow or dependent on scatological references. If you enjoy intelligent and thought-provoking humor, I highly recommend "Person" by Demetri Martin: watch it and discover why glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.

Summary: Very Funny
Comment: For a good comedy DVD, and if you like Demetri Martin, this is very funny. He is very skilled at the things he does on his show! Pretty clean, I'd say PG-13
Customer Rating:
Summary: Extremely Funny
Comment: I love this stand up comedian. His humor is not always straight forward and sometimes you have to think about it. He is extremely talented and I love his charts.
Customer Rating:
Summary: He's so cute
Comment: Demetri Martin is hilarious. The DVD is short, but worth the money. I'd pay between $15-20 for this comedy special. If you don't know anything about Demetri Martin he's all over youtube.com so check him out, But be careful because if you search too much you'll spoil the DVD.

Summary: funny, different just like before, but now what?
Comment: I always liked Demetri Martin; I thought he's funny, different, and smart. Watching this show though didn't add much. Yes, I laughed the first 10 min, he was as funny as always, but then it was the point of "now what?"
The Jokes became predictable, and his sketches weren't as smart as before.
I hope he still has more to give and this is only a temporary pause.
