i think you should leave with tim robinson

now i’m riding shotgun in your car with the steering wheel that doesn’t fly off while you’re driving

THREE STACKS ON THE RADIO

i have had "friday night" stuck in my head for weeks

Only about 1/7 of this show worked for me but man that 1/7 killed

yeah it reminds me a lot of Key & Peele in that regard - K&P had a better hit rate but they both did the "take a goofy SNL-style comedy premises and dial it up five extra notches" sorta thing

I will say this show's good sketches nail the landing more often than K&P's good ones, which generally just petered out

one that i love that no one talks about is the faux-elvis guy trying to record his rock song who makes the mistake of telling his backing band to "just wing it"

the bones are the skeletons’ money
in our world bones equal dollars

great use of conor o'malley. so many peaks here but tc tuggers kills me.

of course after i post that, i see that sketch is listed in the ringer's "best tv moments of 2019 so far"

yeah that one was my fav sketch.

i also have a soft spot for the sketch where the ghost of sam richardson future screams at scrooge and recruits him into the skeleton war

also, write-in vote for "if you don't! that mean...that you yourself are admitting yourself...that you SUCK!"

i think the honk if you're horny/"friday night" sketch is perfect. after that my favorite is probably the overwhelming dark energy of the howie sketch. i have met that guy... many times

your family doesn't love you! only i love you!

nobody tricked me! i am a star!

this here validates the existence of the internet: http://www.mfrederickson.com/ithinkyoushouldleave/

I just wanna tweet the "You have no good car ideas" clip at Elon Musk all day

Speaking of the skeleton war, there's something very dril-ian about the Robinson persona often used in these sketches

i can see that. it has a similar absurdist ethos, scatalogical focus, and disregard for polite society.

The maniacal confidence in ill-conceived ideas

feel like i could assemble a dril tweet just out of the hot dog car sketch

for me this show is like the center of a venn diagram between mr. show and tim and eric. the great sketches are highly rewatchable

I believe Conner O’Malley was brought to earth just for “Honk If You’re Horny” sketch.

Rambling hot dog car crash is another peak that comes to mind.

I've only seen CO'M in this and his series of videos aimed at Howard Schultz but he uh certainly makes a quick impression

His “perfect egg bite” scene from Joe Pera Talks to You is another all-timer

Also his appearances as the beast masturbator during the public access run of the Chris Gethard show

didn't realize he was the guy behind those "what kind of player pimp drives that" vines, but he's a unique talent.

the moment when the camera pans over to the guy in the hot dog color suit is amazing

missed opportunity to poll sketches

you have no good car ideas

they’re mad cause i won best hog in the hog shit snarfing contest

Teacher's pet!

even though I've seen this show, I misread the title as 'with T0mmy R0b1n50n'

i use the quiet flabbergasted "whaaaaat??" from loaded nachos in just about every meeting now

tim robinson expresses dismay on a level like no other. his “oh my goooddd”s are the best

whaaaaaaattttt???

gotta say this is definitely a show that gets the most out of its guest stars. I'd imagine pretty much all of those sketches were written with someone in mind.

So it seems one of this show's best tricks is to suddenly reverse the peripheral "straight man" supporting/side characters into active participants in the silliness.

This show has some real good bits but I can 100% do without the lazy, post-Tim & Eric wacky edit stuff.

Teacher's pet!

YES

also Yes, Donald looks like a hot dog but you're wearing an actual hot-dog costume

they are both the same actor too :) I may have watched Car Focus Group fifty times or more.

the high school teen romance set up for the TC Tuggers sketch is so perfectly filmed.

So it seems one of this show's best tricks is to suddenly reverse the peripheral "straight man" supporting/side characters into active participants in the silliness.

yeah I love this sort of thing, sketch comedy is inheritably predictable so I like that this show really isn't. though this is also sort of a Tim & Eric thing.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

if I eat lunch with coworkers someone will now inevitably say “gimme dat”

xp funny thing is, there was a player for the Detroit Tigers named Gates Brown in the mid-70's, who was called to pinch-hit while he was eating a hot dog in the dugout, and he apparently stuffed the hot dog into his back pocket and took the at-bat.

heh, guess it was his chest pocket. But the story surely must have influenced fellow Detroiter Robinson.

I was using ChatGPT to help come up with some client outreach email templates, but I got bored and asked for a modification:

"modify to explain the economics of a system in which bones are money"

ChatGPT
Subject: Unveiling the "Boneconomy" - A New Way to Think About Currency

Hey [Client's Name],

I hope you're doing well! It's been a while since we last caught up, and I've been pondering something truly unique – the economics of a world where bones are the currency. Remember our previous discussions about innovative ideas?

Well, I wanted to reach out because we've been diving deep into this fascinating concept, and I believe there are some incredible insights to be gained from exploring the "Boneconomy."

Here's a quick rundown of this intriguing economic system:

The Boneconomy: In this imaginative world, bones have become the medium of exchange. Different types of bones, sizes, and conditions carry varying values. It's a system where your wealth is quite literally in your bones.
Economic Dynamics: Just like traditional economies, the "Boneconomy" has its own supply and demand dynamics. We've been studying how bone production, distribution, and the factors affecting bone value can create a unique economic ecosystem.
Success Stories: We've been researching examples of societies where bones became the currency, examining their economic growth, challenges, and innovations. It's a thought-provoking perspective on alternative monetary systems.
Exploring Possibilities: The "Boneconomy" raises intriguing questions about wealth distribution, sustainability, and economic inequality. What can we learn from this concept that might inform real-world economic discussions?
I'd love to reconnect and chat about this unconventional idea. If you have some time for a quick call or meeting in the coming weeks, it would be fantastic to explore the economic nuances of the "Boneconomy."

Feel free to reply to this email with your thoughts, or let me know your availability for a discussion. I'm excited to delve into this thought experiment with you and uncover what lessons it might hold for our understanding of economics.

Thanks for your interest in exploring innovative ideas together!

Warm regards,

The only danger to this great boneconomy is the looming threat of wormmunism

Oh wait, I can just run!

omg this actually happened for real last year?

One user questioned if she ordered 55 tacos while another user joked that she must have purchased 55, tacos, 55 Crunchwraps and 100 Cheesy Roll Ups.

sorry fox business, not turning off my ad blocker for you

why is it so hard to find the link to the video in that article?

the Jumanji sketch snl did last year reminded me of an I Think You Should Leave sketch - people having an increasingly heated argument about how a fictional concept 'works'

what's the song that plays briefly in the last few seconds? it's killing me

This looks insanely good. If you're a Tim Robinson fan.

this looks like it's right in my q-zone

oh it's holiday by confidence man

i didn't even need the brief conner o'malley rage out to be sold on this

wasn't Paul Rudd already in a movie just like this

This probably works better as a trailer

well there's nothing in the trailer that's funny and yet the quotes say it's very funny so I'm at least curious about that. i mean i think Tim Robinson's earned the right to a feature film, some of those ITYSL sketches feel like feature films

mostly I'm curious about whether or not Tim Heidecker is gonna show up with some baked ziti and ridged chips

there's nothing in the trailer that's funny

???

Yay a bunch of think pieces about male loneliness on the way

i'm so glad my brain isn't fried by reading dumb think pieces all the time

Interesting choice to advertise a comedy without a single laugh in the trailer.

I don't know if I can handle the cringe factor for a feature length amount of time, but I do like that they sing my favorite song in the trailer.

trailer is def going for unsettling more than funny. i am intrigued by a movie where tim robinson's itysl character exists in a world where there are consequences for his actions

hard to tell if it is an unsettling stalker film or a parody of one, I think I'd prefer a parody in this case

idk if i would laugh at a trailer for itysl, to be fair

oh boy this looks awesome

biting my fingernails for the first half of that trailer knowing that some classic Tim Robinson screaming was definitely going to drop

i didn't even need the brief conner o'malley rage out to be sold on this

him showing up implies a darker level to the film

there's a contestant on the latest season of Top Chef that you'd swear is just a slightly toned-down TR character.

I was driving on the interstate and some older dude with a giant bald eagle/american flag decal on the back window of his extended cab pickup had a side profile decal of Trump on the side window behind him. Honest to god, I couldn’t stop thinking about The Driving Crooner and I was cackling as I passed him

stinky!

I kept speeding up and making it look fake!

Massimo?

saw Friendship last night, not sure it's the funniest comedy in years as some claim (I've always been 50/50 on Tim, I'm a much bigger fan of Detroiters than ITYSL) but there are def some huge laughs in this and some really fucking funny scenes in this, see it with a packed audience if possible

I also enjoyed it. Some big laughs for me, none bigger than the first trip to the cell phone store that ends with Craig asking the salesperson to come have a beer with him, the salesperson responding "I'm 18," and Craig stammering "Ah well, you know teen girls these days look like they're 25, I guess it's the same for the guys!"

this was such a demented 100 minutes of fun

laughed really hard each time “wait and bleed” came on

also that last conner o’malley line

lots of laughs in my screening, but almost none as big collective roars - a whole range of different ppl getting tickled by different things

also that last conner o’malley line

i was laughing as i walked out of the theater thinking about this

anyway was rewatching itysl with my son and i wanna say shout out to this show for casting people of different sizes regularly and fatness never being the joke
