I saw this guys stand up a while back, and kinda got maybe one or two barely audible chuckles out of the whole thing, and now the kid has his own show? What the fuck? It's not funny. And I hope this isn't even an opinion because I have yet to find anything worth laughing about that pertains to this man or his show.

Anyways, is there anyone around here that finds this kind of humor even the least bit funny? I would love to know why.

I like his stand up it's very all over the place but kind of in a good way at least to me. The show is kind of a keep on the background kind of show, the skits kind of fall falt sometimes but others are pretty funny.

Demetri reminds me of a half-assed Steven Wright with drawings.

I enjoy his stand-up.

His show was a bit shaky at first, but it's improved to be respectable. Nothing great, but worth watching.

My favorite is still the only joke that was funny in the pilot - the time-traveling gigolo who was able to go to Ireland during the potato famine and get sex for a sack of Idaho taters.

Laughing Now that you mention it...

I thought he was pretty funny when I first saw his stand-up, but he got real old real fast. Honestly, I was sort of disappointed to see him get a show. I've watched it a few times and he's still pretty annoying, but some of the sketches are funny.

I like the sketch with the superhero fighting to avenge the death of his father until he finds out he died of natural causes at least the first half of it

Love his stand-up. The show is very hit or miss. I think he should do more stand-up on the show. He only does like a minute's worth.

Not very much of a fan, some of the bits are decent IMO.

The Cool Dadz was the best, when they were playing football and shit, while holding babies in those little chest carriers.

He's one of my favorite stand-up comedians. His show is mostly good.
