Important Things with Demetri Martin was a sketch comedy show that aired on Comedy Central from 2009-2010. The show was created and hosted by comedian Demetri Martin and featured a mix of stand-up comedy, sketches, and animated segments. The show was known for its sharp humor, clever writing, and unique visual style.

Each episode of Important Things with Demetri Martin focused on a different theme, such as "Timing," "Power," or "Money." Martin would begin the episode with a stand-up comedy routine about the theme, often incorporating music and props. The show then moved onto a series of pre-recorded sketches that explored different aspects of the theme.

The sketches on Important Things with Demetri Martin were often surreal and absurd, featuring Martin and a rotating cast of actors in various comedic scenarios. Some sketches were more straightforward, such as "New York vs. Los Angeles," which compared the two cities through a series of mini-sketches. Others were more conceptual, such as "Games," which imagined a reality where life was a series of increasingly complicated board games.

The show also featured a series of animated segments, which were often some of the most memorable parts of each episode. These segments were created by Martin himself and featured simple, line-drawn characters and objects interacting in a variety of ways. For example, one segment featured a family of worms going about their daily lives inside a human brain.

In addition to the sketches and animation, Important Things with Demetri Martin also featured regular segments such as "Trendspotting," where Martin would identify and mock various ridiculous trends, and "Clearification," where Martin would clarify confusing words and phrases.

The show was lauded for its wit, intelligence, and inventiveness, and was nominated for multiple awards during its brief run. Martin's affable, deadpan delivery and creative use of props and music made him a standout comedian, and the show's inventive writing and visual style set it apart from other sketch comedy shows.

Despite its critical success, Important Things with Demetri Martin only lasted two seasons before being cancelled by Comedy Central. Martin has continued to work as a comedian and writer since then, and has appeared in a number of films and TV shows, including the Netflix series Master of None.

Important Things with Demetri Martin is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (17 episodes). The series first aired on February 11, 2009.
