“I Think You Should Leave” lines are almost like a language to me at this point. Quotes from the show have become part of my everyday vocabulary. Robinson is one of those people, and to me, that’s a gift. Although that may seem mean, there are very few people whose sheer existence is amusing. Whenever he pops up in a sketch, I laugh just because of the way he looks. Robinson has one of those faces that is just funny. Robinson has perfected this loud and energetic brand of comedy. It’s nice to just laugh at someone doing a funny thing. Sometimes, it’s nice to not have to think so hard. The show is loud and right in your face at all times. Humor that lies a bit below the surface, or maybe humor that is a comment on some kind of societal problem. I’m definitely someone who appreciates subtle humor. Or, from season three, a man innocuously offers to be a designated driver for his co-workers only to later reveal that he is “The Driving Crooner.” It’s dumb, sure. In one sketch from season two, what starts as an insider trading trial in a courtroom divulges into a saga about a man’s hat with safari flaps on the back. A normal setting, normal characters - a normal situation. Almost every sketch will start out completely normal. It’s honestly hard to describe the show to someone who hasn’t seen it before. Whether it’s a doctor that really wants to get into the hottest club in town, a man on a dating show who just wants to ride a zipline or a professor who really wants his student’s hamburger, “I Think You Should Leave” perfectly teeters on the line of stupid and funny. The sketches are absurdist in the best way possible. No show has made me laugh quite as much as “I Think You Should Leave.” It’s a sketch comedy series on Netflix created by and starring Tim Robinson, who was a writer and performer on “Saturday Night Live.” “I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson” (ITYSL) is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever watched.
