"Important Things With Demetri Martin" Rocks

(Reprinted from last week. Swear we had nothing to do with the ads, and are presonally receiving no money from Demetri Martin. Although we could use some of his money. Call us, DM.)

We at the Remote Island got a screener for Important Things With Demetri Martin, which premieres on Comedy Central February 11th at 10:30. Don't ask us what we had to do to get this screener, we prefer not to discuss the sordid details. Regardless, we have now viewed the premiere episode, and are happy to report it's great. (UPDATE: We have now watched next week's "Power" episode as well, and are happy to report it is just as funny as the first, and has an excellent fat, depressed superhero skit.) After the jump, video of the very funny "Anger Management" sketch from the premiere (which co-stars the lovely Amanda Peet) and Demetri illustrating some data on bathroom trips.

Perhaps the best thing about Demetri Martin having his own Comedy Central show, though, is that it will be that much more difficult for Dane Cook to steal his jokes. Evidence of Cook's thievery, also after the jump...

The 4:20 "Weeds" Report: Nice Save, Mom

HOT! Silas called Lisa "Mom," Bob Odenkirk was snorting whiff in rehab, and we had this weird, sad, supremely sexy moment with Nancy (above)! This episode was like a dream come true!

Our title this afternoon comes from a line that was tossed off by Silas as another in this season's long line of Oedipal jokes, but we have to think that it applies to the season as a whole, since Nancy seems, finally, to be seeing the light at the end of her tunnel. (Oh, that came out sleazier than we'd hoped.)

She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.
