i think you should leave with tim robinson

We should be able to look at a little porn at work

I still don't think the eps really take off until episode 3, although I do like the first two. VR shopping was hilarious.

And don't just come to try and make me talk.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK!

I love this stuff. I love old stuff!

only saw the first, nothing as explosively funny as "ghost tour" or "coffin flop," but the zip line sketch was top notch.

also appreciating the driving crooner sketch more the more i think about it

THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK FAKE

i thought the guy was trying to steal my decals

the daughter double-time rapping at the end of the recital was great

I thought this was a little pimp.

the metal game show was great too even if it ended too abruptly for me.

Spiritually captures the feeling of having a complicated idea that works perfectly in your own head but that you just can't get working in reality for one reason or another so it falls short... but if everyone else could just understand how you imagine it they would get how great it is. If only if only

absolutely! that's a great way to describe it

THREE SECONDS TO THINK OF SOMETHING SILLY? THAT'S NOT ANOTHER FUCKING TIME!

*ENOUGH

hey everybody, look! the dog's blowing me!

Don Bondarley! king of the dirty songs!

god his reaction after getting sent home on the dating reality show

Before you make your decision, I just want you to know, I believe Carlos is a ho.

had to pause the Richard Brecky sketch because I was laughing too hard. WHAT ARE YOU DOING!??? WHAT IS THAT!?!??

oh and the dog haircut lmao

think this season really ups the ante with all the misdirection, you really have no clue where any of these are going until the very end

IT'S A FUCKING CUP

I really hope Toilet Truck dies.

best part of the Richard Brecky one is how you can see they get just $1 every time he talks and then the next time you see him performing he's already up to like $60

consider this an official announcement that I have started watching the new season of ITYSL pic.twitter.com/XqPmK8M0Rv

Just waiting for someone make a shirt with the “learn respect" computer drawing

i got too hyper

joeks aside, the kids singing for the fourth grade recital were pretty adorable and so was the concert and I got distracted from the laughs by that.

also the nice touch of having them open by singing an antiquated, 119 year old turn-of-the-century song filled with references the kids could never possibly understand, which is par for the course with elementary school choirs.

also the performers on that pop-punk song are Turnstile, under a pseudonym, who wrote "I Don't Wanna Go on Listening" for the sketch

had to pause the Richard Brecky sketch because I was laughing too hard.

Same. Genuine tears

WE'RE GONNA GO NUTS IN THERE

Oh! I can just run!

lollll

There was a spike last night. We're you at Haunted House?

I’m really crossed up!

I haven’t been sleeping since my wife got flipped upside down by a swing dancer at a wedding!

IT'S A PIG

Not-particularly-insightful-nor-revealing piece in the NYTimes:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/02/magazine/tim-robinson-i-think-you-should-leave.html

Robinson’s face is both anonymous and one of a kind. He has a big flaring dolphin fin of a nose; small, deep-set eyes that sit in little pools of shade; a warm, gaptoothed smile.

I had been warned that Robinson is deeply uncomfortable doing media.

Gee, I can't fucking imagine why.

I can only take this is small doses, way too shouty for me. I do like the bumpers between skits a lot.

Lot of words for nyt to say Richarlison looking motherfucker

I just wanna say I think Carlos is a ho

I actually want to go to Haunted House more than Aqua.

There’s one disturbing undercurrent to this show that the NYT piece did not touch upon.

So many of Robinson’s characters remind me of coked up guys who corner you in a bar, impose upon you, and insist that you “owe them” something. This is what makes many of his sketches difficult for me to watch. It’s not a question of a guy who doesn’t understand cultural rules/norms. It’s more of a case of a guy who wants to dominate you and colonize your sense of reality. To repeat myself it’s a very cocaine-ish sense of reality.

there's a lot of yelling

yelling coked-up guy versus best ideas ever coked-up guy

I don’t have any experience with cocaine but I do have an 8 year old son and a lot of Tim’s characters remind me of him when he’s getting tired and frustrated

I’m sure Tim Robinson is sweet and shy and philosophically confused as per the NYT profile but if he doesn’t have cocaine abuse in his background I will eat my fucking hat and shoes

Not sure I feel comfy diagnosing substance abuse purely from someone's sketch comedy performance but that's me

I'm worried Josefa doesn't think people can change

Lol! I do think people can change, and I don’t begrudge Tim Robinson for where he’s come from. I’ve come from a similar place (fortunately it was many years ago). I do think he’s latched onto a vibe that is real but is also very uncomfortable for those who have experienced it.

Neanderthal: Wanna bet?

For something we'd need either a close friend/family member or toxicologist to reveal sometime over the next three years? Sure

I’m willing to bet based only on Tim Robinson’s own admission. My assertion is that a) He’s done cocaine regularly at some point in his life, AND b) He has associated with cocaine users for a substantial period of time in his life
