Even MORE Demetri

This is all from www.imdb.com

Demetri Martin: I like parties, but I don't like pinatas because pinatas promote violence toward flamboyant animals.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like parties, but I don't like piñatas because the pinata promotes violence against flamboyant animals. Hey, there's a donkey with some pizzazz. Let's kick its ass. What I'm trying to say is, don't make the same Halloween costume mistake that I did.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I went into a deli and got an egg sandwich and a hot chocolate. And then I went outside and I had to get a cab, so I had to put up one of my hands. But I already started eating my sandwich; I took it out of the bag, I was impatient. So my choice was hold up an egg sandwich or hold up a hot chocolate to get a car. So I chose the hot chocolate. And I put it up there and no cab stopped and I realized it was because I looked like I was toasting traffic. Standing on the street, 'Here's to you guys, to everybody heading west, I just wanna say I like what you do... but one of you needs to stop, pick me up.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I wonder what the most intelligent thing ever said was that started with the word 'dude.' 'Dude, these are isotopes.' 'Dude, we removed your kidney. You're gonna be fine.' 'Dude, I am so stoked to win this Nobel Prize. I just wanna thank Kevin, and Turtle, and all my homies.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: 'Sort of' is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It's just a filler. Sort of - it doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after 'I love you' or 'You're going to live' or 'It's a boy.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I got some new pajamas with pockets in 'em. Which is great, because before that, I used to have to hold stuff when I slept. But now I'm like, 'Where's my planner? There it is. "Keep sleeping." All right, perfect.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I went into a clothing store, and the lady asked me what size I was. I said, 'Actual'. I'm not to scale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like clothes, you know. I dig fabrics. One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like, 'Hey, there's an asshole.' But when you're in the woods you're like, 'Is there an asshole out here?' They look like trees.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I think vests are all about protection. You know what I mean? Like a lifevest protects you from from drowning and bulletproof vests protect you from getting shot and the sweatervest protects you from pretty girls. 'Leave me alone. Can't you see I'm cold just right here?'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I went into a clothes store and a lady came up to me and said "if you need anything, I'm Jill". I've never met anyone with a conditional identity before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I was in a store and I saw a pocket dictionary and that made me laugh because it's such... a specific item. I don't know that many words and I'm going out... and I have pants. Perfect!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like to use 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter' on my toast in the morning, because sometimes when I eat breakfast, I like to be incredulous. How was breakfast? Unbelievable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you'd be like 'Huh? What the hell is this?', but if it's in a fruit basket you're like 'This is nice!.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I feel stupid when I write the word banana. Its like, how many na's are on this thing? 'Cause I'm like 'Bana... keep going. Bananana... damn.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I was making pancakes the other day and a fly flew into the kitchen. And that's when I realized that a spatula is a lot like a fly-swatter. And a crushed fly is a lot like a blueberry. And a roommate is a lot like a fly eater.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: My favorite fruit is grapes. Because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'Cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: My plumbing is all screwed up. Because it turns out, I do not own a garbage disposal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I think they named the orange before the carrot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I was stuck in traffic and I looked in the mirror and in the car behind me there was a couple having a horrible argument and right below their image it said "Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear". I just thought, man I hope so because she was pretty mad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: A lot of people don't like bumper stickers. I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: A drunk driver is very dangerous. So is a drunk backseat driver if he's persuasive. 'Dude make a left.' 'Those are trees... ' 'Trust me.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like birthdays because we celebrate life with cakes. It's so cool. Sometimes when I see a baby, I'm like that much more cake in the world. But then when someone dies, I'm like the cake streak is over...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: About a month ago I got a cactus. A week later, it died. I was really depressed because I was like 'Damn! I am less nurturing than a desert.'
[Ladies, that's not true]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: My friend Steve likes cats. People are always saying "Oh, Steve's really a cat person". No he's not. If Steve were a cat person it'd be, like, "Hey, Steve never goes in the pool".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that's to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn't know if someone was stuttering. 'Yes, hello I'd like some b-batteries.' 'What kind?' 'B-batteries.' 'What kind?' 'B-batteries!' and D-batteries that's hard for foreigners. 'Yes, I would like de batteries.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: One of my friends has a stutter and a lot of people think that's a bad thing, but to me that's just like starting certain words with a drum roll. That's not an impediment, that's suspense! What's he going to say? Car?... or Carnival?... Carburetor? Man...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I was seeing this girl and she wanted to get more serious. But I wasn't ready to, I had just gotten out of a difficult relationship before that. So I said to her, 'Listen, you have to understand something. Relationships are like eyebrows. It's better when there's a space between them.' And that's coming from a Greek guy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like sports; I like professional football. I like to get to the stadium and see the games live, you know. And I paint my chest before I leave the house. But I don't have many friends, you know, so I usually just do punctuation and tack on a group already in progress. But sometimes it works out kind of weird because we ended up on TV one time and it said 'JETS?'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Canoe + waterfall = I don't go camping anymore.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is. I gotta go by the outfit. Pants - uh oh. Bathing suit - okay. Naked - we'll see. Should I be swimming faster, or am I getting laid?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I think it's interesting that 'cologne' rhymes with 'alone.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I wanna make a jigsaw puzzle that's 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says 'go outside.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Saying 'I'm sorry' is the same as saying 'I apologize.' Except at a funeral.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I have a jar at home, and I put pennies in it whenever I curse. The other day I spilled the jar. I owe it about $25.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: If I have to move up in a building, I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was riding the escalator and I tripped. I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: They say that you can tell man apart from other animals by his ability to reason. I think you could also go by last names. What's his name? Patches? Patches what? That's a dog. Don't waste my time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Some jokes are short and elegant, like a mathematical proof or a midget in a ballgown.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: If you want to make a mythical creature, just take a regular animal and add wings to it. A horse becomes a pegasus, a lion becomes a griffin, and a hawk... becomes a double hawk.
[cue card of bird with 4 wings saying 'I'm awkward']

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I like the beach. I like to get there really early before everyone else shows up and take like thirty bottles with notes in them and throw them into the water. Then I wait for everyone to come to the beach and when someone goes to pick up one of the bottles, I go up behind them because when they open it there's a note saying 'I'm standing right behind you.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce. Instantly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I was watching MTV and there were girls dancing in suspended cages. That would be an ambivalent situation: "I'm trapped!... but enjoying the music".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I love women, but I feel like you can't trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog's name. Then Í said, "Does he bite?". She said "No." And I said, "Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?... Liar."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: A quick way to start a conversation is to say something like "What's your favorite color?" A quick way to end a conversation is to say something like "What's your favorite color... person?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: When you have a fat friend there are no see-saws, only catapults.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Sometimes, when something really great happens to me, I like to wait two weeks before I tell anyone about it, because I like to use the word 'fortnight'.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I was at a party, and I saw a guy with a leather jacket, and I thought, 'That's cool'. Then I saw a guy with a leather vest and I thought, 'That's not cool'. It was then that I realized what coolness is all about... leather sleeves.
[turns page on drawing pad to reveal the phrase "I OWN LEATHER SLEEVES."]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: There's a small but important difference between peeing in the pool, and peeing into the pool.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: Dolphins are considered friendly animals, but I bet some of them are real jerks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demetri Martin: I bought a dictionary. First thing I did was, I looked up the word "dictionary", and it said "you're an asshole".
