Do you think Dimitri Martin is bad because he is kind of like Mitch Hedberg in delivery style?

Ugh.
Bullet point 1) If my jokes aren't original, it's news to me. It's not a matter of originality. It's a matter of VERBATIM. Dane Cook does his Monopoly bit, and it's almost word for word the same as Christian Finnegan's. Just like Denis Leary's "Jim Fixx" bit. It would have been hilarious, had Bill Hicks not done the same bit 5 years earlier.
Bullet point 2) Delivery style isn't copywritten. If delivery style was so, then Steven Wright could have sued the pants off of Hedberg, Carr, and every other one liner out there, had Rodney Dangerfield not sued the pants off of Wright, first.
