Published on July 6, 2021, Tim Robinson's sketch comedy series 'I Think You Should Leave' has been making waves with its unique brand of humor.
The show, which premiered on Netflix in 2019, follows the misadventures of a cast of characters who are all a little bit...off.
From the job candidate who insists that a push door should go both ways, to the hot-dog-shaped car that crashes through a clothing store, the sketches in 'I Think You Should Leave' are a masterclass in absurdity.
But beneath the humor, the show is also a poignant exploration of the human condition. The characters in 'I Think You Should Leave' are all struggling to come to terms with their place in the world, and their refusal to accept reality is a coping mechanism that often leads to chaos and destruction.
One of the standout features of the show is its cast of characters, all of whom are played by Robinson himself. From the lovable but annoying office worker who smuggles an oversized frankfurter into a meeting, to the pitchman who becomes increasingly incensed as he tries to sell his fake Corncob TV channel, the characters in 'I Think You Should Leave' are all uniquely flawed and relatable.
But what really sets 'I Think You Should Leave' apart is its ability to balance humor and pathos. The show's writers have a keen eye for the absurd, but they also know how to tug at the heartstrings. Whether it's the sad-sack community-theater actor who's tormented by a scene partner who steals his lines, or the investor who made her fortune suing the city after being accidentally sewed into the pants of a giant Charlie Brown, the characters in 'I Think You Should Leave' are all deeply human.
So if you're looking for a show that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even think a little bit, then 'I Think You Should Leave' is the show for you.
