Synopsis

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Steve Adams This show is just stupid. I only know of Demetri Martin from the pieces he used to do on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I actually liked those segments he did and they were usually pretty funny. Maybe the problem here is that when he was on The Daily Show he had other people writing for him, because this show of his own is just tedious to watch. I hate it when people do something weird or that makes no sense and then say it's funny. Tom Green used to do that and since he had some success it seems a lot of people are doing his gross out stuff and his surreal stuff. Well it's just not funny. Also let's just say that it's kind of sad that an obviously 35-40 year old man is on TV pretending to be a teenager. Not hip or cool or whatever buzz word the network is trying to throw at us.
Renate This show has changed the way I look at things completely. There's always something unusual, something that "normal" people don't really think about. Demetri's creativity is inspiring, I just keep wondering how he can notice so many details in simple things. It's just amazing!This is a show, that I found simply perfect- it's funny, inspiring, genius, creative, smart and vivacious. I myself have started to notice little things around more, and I'm not that afraid to present my own strange ideas since I saw how natural and down-to-earth Demetri is...ah just watch it, to me it's the best TV stand-up/sketch show ever!I SIMPLY LOVE IT! /10+ out of 10 because of its creativity
athoat I was bored one and was flipping through the Comcast OnDemand titles. Nothing was catching my eye. When I came to Important Things I thought why not, it was probably be just another dumb Comedy Central show, but I liked Demetri Martins stand-up.I watched the first show and I couldn't keep from laughing no matter how hard I tried. I ended up watching all three shows that were there. I can't wait to watch this weeks show on Wednesday. I beg all who read this to give the show a try because I know most of you are going to get hooked, and I don't want Comedy Central to replace it in midseason with re-runs Mind of Menica. I just hope that if it ends up being canceled, it is replaced with a re-run of South Park or Futurama. It would be a shame that this TV treat wouldn't be on.The only complains is the scatological humor. I'm not into that stuff, but everything else is great.
Scars_Remain Once Mind of Mencia was released, I had lost all hope that Comedy Central would release a good sketch show again. Important Things with Demetri Martin has not only proved me wrong, it might be my favorite to ever be shown on the network. Yes, it really is that good.Demetri Martin is a fantastic host and is hilarious as always. The sketches are well thought out and portrayed. It's unlike anything else I've seen on Comedy Central and I really hope it lasts. But if Mind of Mencia can last as long as it has, I fear for the intelligence of American viewers. Let's just hope that Important Things remains on the air for a long, long time.
