Important Things with Demetri Martin - Season 2
Season 2
Episodes
Attention
Comedic dogs and patients who deliver toasts while handing doctors their urine samples need attention, just like Demetri.
Ability
Demetri finds that people with special abilities -- unicyclists, amateur midwives and people who can simultaneously laugh and pee -- are in short supply.
Strategy
Demetri knows that a man is only as good as his plan, so he explores the best strategy for seduction, suing your neighbor over a fence and reacting to alien life.
Money
Demetri finds there's more than one way to acquire wealth since it's not enough to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth -- sometimes you gotta shave a snake.
2
Demetri examines the number 2 from every vantage, from the biological -- as when two women hit the lavatory to dissect a blind date -- to basic but unnoticed social cues.
2, Too
Demetri returns to the number 2, shining a spotlight on Superman's duplicitous sidekick and how the shape of the number 2 conveys vital information.
Lines
Demetri demonstrates how adding lines to a drawing can change everything and laments the lack of pick-up line equivalents for breaking up.
Nature
The natural world beguiles Demetri as he expounds on the cruelty of duck hunting and Bigfoot's mysterious sexual orientation.
Space
Demetri finds that spaces in a sentence are just as important as word choice and learns that space travel in the future is disconcertingly simple.
Control
Demetri wrestles with when it's good to be in control, particularly when struggling with a pinata.
