i think you should leave with tim robinson

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.

you probably LOVE your mother-in-law

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

it should be stinking inside

a good steering wheel that doesn't fly off while you're driving

if the stearing wheel fly off? i'm toast.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

just finishing the first season of detroiters and it rules

i liked the first season as well but returns past in season two got kinda slim i thought.

i don't know if it's the BEST sketch in the show but the nachos sketch feels like the epitome of ITYSL. also has the best tim robinson fake-flabbergasted acting.

He's really good at parodying the caught-and-bad-at-lying-their-way-out-of-it thing, yeah.

need to take a second run through this sometime soon

santa brought it early!!!!!

? What do you mean or am I missing a reference?

but I don't want to leave with Tim Robinson

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

rewatching this again, its definitely hitting me now how much this show seems to be influenced by "weird Twitter" sort of humor. I know dril was mentioned upthread but it's more than that. I see stills from this all over the place on social media (since I only follow the best & funniest people) and I'm starting to think that was by design

Recently realized that Tim was behind on of my favorite SNL sketches ever:

this might be the funniest show in human history

I can watch it over and over

tiny dinky daffy

i think i’ve watched it at least 20 times

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!

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.
