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

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.

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.

― jaymc, Sunday, 4 June 2023 20:29 (eleven months ago) link
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.

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
― frogbs, Sunday, 4 June 2023 22:19 (eleven months ago) link
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
― Josefa, Sunday, 4 June 2023 22:34 (eleven months ago) link
Not sure I feel comfy diagnosing substance abuse purely from someone's sketch comedy performance but that's me

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.

― the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Monday, 5 June 2023 00:57 (eleven months ago) link
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

I have danced with the cocaine and have hung out with cocaine people, not once did I think this show was a result or response to cocaine.

this show is way way more "what if a grown up was an 8 year old who wasn't getting his way" than "cocaine dudes"

ya I mean that business seminar sketch ends with Tim pointing at the other guy saying something like "ha ha you're in trouble and I'm not"
― frogbs, Monday, 5 June 2023 02:13 (eleven months ago) link
Well there's different facets to the show that come out in different sketches, but I find his character - or his stand-in characters, e.g. the "Frankentstein's Girlfriend" character - more menacing than childlike. To me there's real anxiety involved with imagining how I would deal with these characters in real life. It's still LOL funny, don't get me wrong.

I think it's fair to assume that trace amounts of cocaine could be found on the persons of the sloppy steaks guys. I mean, they were being real pieces of shit after all.

I definitely get more belligerent child on the verge of a meltdown vibes off of most of the characters the only obvious substance… overuse… bit in a tim robinson production I can think of is the ridiculous alcoholism in DetroitersDoctor: “You have ten to twelve beers a DAY?”Sam: “Wait, we’re counting beers as drinks too?”

Tim in the "I thought a volcano erupted" sketch is literally just me circa age 11 when I realized I could get easy laughs by responding to stuff with "Did you just say (outrageous thing that they obviously didn't just say but maybe sounds a little bit similar)?" and then did it so much my mom made me promise to stop
