I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

I'd been a massive fan of Detroiters so was deeply into the idea of Tim Robinson getting let loose on his own sketch show. What you get here is an ever-intensifying doubling down on a very specific type of humour. Specifically, his. Dotted with some brilliant guest appearances and never quite ending where you expect it to - this is a show that delights in wrong-footing you. Tripping you up, freaking you out. The best sketches revolve around the evergreen "a person's full refusal to face up to the reality of what they've done" schtick and it works beautifully. I see memes of this all over the shop and I've even heard of folk going back to seek out Detroiters which is glorious - I'm glad it's finally brought him a big audience and proof, if proof is needed, that doubling down on your own humour (which ironically is based itself on doubling down) is double down... wait what am I saying. I don't even know. Stop looking at me.

Sketches follow a pretty predictable formula: a group of adults, one of them is acting crazy, either the bystanders join in unexpectedly or people are turned off by the craziness. Its predictable so why did I give it a 9? Because the formula works. The sketches are well written, the characters are quirky enough to seem realistic but so ridiculous that it gives you those uncomfortable laughs. I genuinely laughed out loud at a lot of these. My favorites were the song about skeletons using bones as money, you have no good car ideas, the one with poop on the receipt, and the eulogy for former baby models (because I think the host is hilarious). I'm honestly shocked how funny I found it. I'm usually not a sketch show type of person.

It is definitely not for everyone but if you like awkward, raunch, and weird, this is for you. Put this is firmly in the "absurd sketch show" bin and get to streaming.

I hope they keep making this show...its insane and hits on all cylinders

I was expecting some weird stuff but this was surprisingly funny. Still weird but refreshing.
