Shes Like Shit Is Marcos Gonna Roast Me Again

This ranking was originally published in June 2019, only we've updated information technology to include all of Flavour ii for the new season's July six Netflix premiere. Check out our ranking of all 53 sketches below!

Netflix'due south I Recall You Should Leave with Tim Robinson is, to quote Scott Wampler of Nativity.Movies.Death., "just a thing I watch every few days now." The streaming sketch-comedy series debuted in late Apr, instantly becoming one of 2019's best (new) shows, and we've been going back to that delightfully deranged well again and again since.

It wasn't plenty to simply nowadays our picks for the show'due south 10 best sketches, a slice in which we threatened to give the whole dang show the ranking treatment. And so nosotros're making good on that threat today, ordering all 29 of I Think Y'all Should Leave's sketches from slightly less corking to greatest—in addition to adding in the show's xix other sketches, nosotros've also shuffled our summit 10 around a tad. And before you know information technology, nosotros'll be forced to expand on this ranking, even, as Netflix just ordered a second season of Robinson and Zach Kanin's wonderful brand of insanity.

If you're not yet familiar with the nature of that insanity, Robinson was kind enough to sum it up for us a little while back: "The themes are e'er quite similar. People not wanting to exist publicly embarrassed but also non wanting to acknowledge that they've fabricated a small error, and then taking it so far that it becomes a much bigger problem for them." I Think You Should Leave is full of these problems, and we're giggling unprompted just thinking near them.

Push open up the door (or pull, it does both) and walk right through for our full ranking of I Think Yous Should Get out.

53. "Big Wave" (Season ii, Episode half dozen)

Some other riff on how people kill time in the office a la "Bozo" (#44), "Big Wave" wasn't worth the trip back to that well. When the boss (Dwight Hicks) steps out of a piece of work coming together, Paul (Hymnson Chan) hops up on the table and pantomimes surfing; initially puzzled and resistant, his coworkers somewhen go in on the fun, but when Russell (Robinson) tries to follow arrange, he flips the table over ("Here comes a big moving ridge!") and injures multiple people. That'south every bit close to a punchline equally this sketch has, really—from at that place, it just sort of flails and then fizzles out.

52. "Dave Arrange" (Flavor 2, Episode 6)

One of the but sketches in the show that only never quite clicks, "Dave Adapt" can't seem to figure out what to do with its lightheaded premise, and mostly merely dances effectually information technology. Luca (Robinson) tries to frame his coworker Dave (Jon Ryckman) for taking "huge, embarrassing dumps" in the office by hiring a lookalike, but gets caught—the sketch is him explaining himself to Mrs. Tulving (Joyce Guy), and in the course of doing so, he gets way off-topic, suggesting that Jerry (the cartoon mouse) sniffs panties, messaging someone who's trying to buy his bike stand online, and asks for "some time at home" so he tin "look inside myself, exist with my family and effort new restaurants." The sketch's funniest lines are its last, when Luca discovers his hired gun Rodney (Marc Mazur) has a "wildly high" voice, simply for the most part, "Dave Conform" will go out you, in Dave'south words, "simply a little confused."

51. "Both Ways" (Season i, Episode 1)

The first sketch of the series is a basic, simply effective introduction to I Recollect You Should Leave'due south central motif—it'southward literally an exit, afterwards all. Robinson's character, having committed the mutual faux pas of pulling a button door while leaving a job interview, refuses to admit his mistake, sending an everyday situation nosediving into absurdity—a progression easily mapped onto about of the show's sketches. It'due south not much, but if you lot honey to see Robinson'due south dorky earnestness plough to determination bordering on derangement as he wrenches the door open, brow vein throbbing and drool dripping, while his would-exist employer (Matt Cates) bears unblinking witness, you're going to love what follows. I Retrieve You Should Get out is zilch if non a one-act of unforced errors.

50. "Lifetime Achievement" (Season ane, Episode 4)

While honoring Herbie Hancock (who, if yous tin can believe it, does non appear as himself) with an award, Robinson's mustachioed presenter focuses the opening moments of his speech not on the music man of the hour, simply on the audition member's (Judy Kain) service canis familiaris that he claims bit him on his fashion to the stage. Denying its possessor's insistence that the animal was really humping his caput, Robinson is undone by his own honoree, who suggests they get to the video recorded by another onlooker (Gary Richardson). This sketch wouldn't work without its clever structure, which allows united states of america to live inside Robinson'south delusion until everyone around him, including the guest of honor ("That's why I beloved Herbie Hancock—he loves to lie"), refuses to play along with his face up-saving version of events.

49. "Pinkish Bag" (Season 1, Episode 2)

"Pink Bag" is just a pace or two up from "Both Ways," centering on a regular guy who, in his attempts to non make an ass out of himself, makes a massive ass out of himself. Robinson'southward white-collar character gets pranked the sometime-fashioned way with a whoopee cushion, and sends the whole meeting hurtling off the rails by holding upwardly the proceedings until he tin "effigy out what's going on." The sketch overstays its welcome, which is sort of the point, but Robinson'due south also-honest-by-half rant about his abnormally un-whoopee cushion-like farts ("[They] are long. And way louder. And they reek!") and the bizarre importance he places on his family unit photo make "Pink Purse" worth letting rip.

48. "Fentons Stables & Horse Ranch" (Season i, Episode 6)

For our money, "Fentons Stables & Horse Ranch" doesn't get much funnier than its (very funny) opening exchange: A smile man on horseback'due south idyllic good time is promptly and irreversibly ruined when his wife points out his steed's prodigious schlong. If y'all're not laughing yet, cipher else in this sketch is likely to change your mind, but this mock commercial for a ranch that exclusively houses poorly endowed horses in order to protect its male visitors from penis envy—"Yous can't compete with these horse hogs … and now you don't need to," hope owners Ted and Emily Skull—does have a trick or two upwardly its sleeve (pour one out for Shortstack). And if there's one thing that needs all the skewering it tin can get present, it'south fragile masculinity.

47. "Wilsons Toupees" (Season ane, Episode 2)

Robinson and Kanin can crank out sketches like this i in their sleep: It presents a hyper-specific problem—you can't win over your coworkers with Three Stooges-manner slapstick unless you're "all the way baldheaded," a la Curly!—and markets an as out-in that location solution, with Bruno Amato peddling a "pilus loss system" that consists of 500 increasingly balding wigs that permit you to simulate rapid hair loss and so as not to arouse your officemates' suspicions. You can also speed upwardly the process dramatically with Wilson'due south Natural Fake Gorilla Set on Hair Removal System, which is exactly every bit convincing every bit you'd imagine. This sketch is bookended past the two-part "River Mountain Loftier" (#39), but doesn't piece of work quite likewise—it starts out so silly that there'south not much room for it to grow.

46. "The Capital Room" (Season 2, Episode 2)

Patti Harrison (who joins the show'southward writer's room in Season 2) plays ane of the "star investors" on "The Capital Room," a Shark Tank parody that serves as a fun showcase for her silliness. She doesn't quite fit in with her fellow moguls, by and large by virtue of her unusual rags-to-riches story: "I sued the city considering I was accidentally sewed into the pants of the large Charlie Brown at the Thanksgiving Day parade," she sneers, all completely unearned attitude. While the other pseudo-Sharks talk up their business acumen, she makes a slightly less convincing pitch, boasting about all the fine wine she's been able to buy before then confessing, "I'm scared by how much I need wine!" Harrison is a girlboss different any other, and information technology makes "The Capital Room" worth investing a few minutes in.

45. "Babysitter" (Flavor 1, Episode 5)

The rare Season 1 sketch that doesn't quite justify its longer runtime, "Bodyguard" finds Robinson and his partner Alan (Artie O'Daly) showing upwardly a bit late to a political party, agreeing to use a fictional bodyguard's tardiness as an excuse for their own. Robinson, of grade, volunteers this data unprompted and commits to the lie mode besides enthusiastically ("Aye, fucking babysitter absolutely fucked us, I fucking hate her, such an idiot"), spinning a nonsensical story about a hit-and-run that his friend Barry (Mark Raterman) reasonably questions. Robinson'due south character does the but logical thing and dedicates his night to humiliating Barry—once more, he does and then needlessly, long after Barry has stopped casting aspersions on his cover story. The sketch ends a fleck flatly, with Robinson tackling Barry into a communist china chiffonier before declaring they're "even," which makes about as much sense as the rest of his actions, which is to say none at all.

44. "Bozo" (Season 1, Episode half-dozen)

This episode six two-parter, centering on a grouping of 9-5'ers killing time before a meeting, finds Robinson's Reggie struggling to go on upwards with his millennial coworkers (played by Akaash Yadav, Brandon Wardell and Melody Peng), children of the cyberspace who rattle off funny YouTube videos from memory. Reggie claims he has a video to recommend, but "can't think how to search for it," a failure that sends him spiraling; in the sketch'due south latter half, Reggie speaks upwardly to volunteer a video—information technology quickly becomes clear that he not only made and uploaded this video himself for the sole purpose of currying favor with them, but has also completely misunderstood their (or anyone's) idea of comedy: "bozo dubbed over" is merely black-and-white footage of Bozo the clown, set to an obviously Reggie-recorded voiceover made upward of not-sequiturs similar, "Oh fuck, what the fuck, I'm not even supposed to be here, I hope I don't jack off." Both the video and whole sketch are laugh-out-loud funny—just not for the reasons Reggie thinks.

43. "Joanie'southward Birthday" (Flavor two, Episode 5)

Matt Alex (Owen Thiele) opens a real Pandora'southward box when he hires Stable of Stars to provide a glory impersonator for his friend Joanie's (Annapurna Sriram) birthday party: As Robinson's handler explains, his Johnny Carson impersonator (Monte Markham) is well within his rights when he hauls off and smacks Todd (Brandon Wardell) in the head, and so proceeds to simply wander around the political party hitting people (and, at 1 point, a vase). You could probably read this equally some trenchant commentary on how the rules are different for famous people, whose enablers protect them from consequences, but it's generally just funny to sentry Robinson's grapheme struggle to corral his diverse impersonators—Carson is somewhen joined by George Kennedy (David Burr) and George Bush (Doug Cox), both of whom as well hitting, even though they're not allowed to—and critique Joanie's neighborhood, adding insult to the injuries his employees are dishing out.

42. "Detective Crashmore Trailer" / "Junket" (Flavour ii, Episode iii)

Robinson is nowhere to be found in this Season 2 two-parter, in which Santa Claus (Biff Wiff) plays the eponymous detective, an extremely crude parody of a John Wick-similar killer aptitude on vengeance. (This is non the first time Saint Nick has made an unflattering advent in a Robinson testify—in one Detroiters episode, it's revealed the FBI found a trunk in Santa's house.) "Detective Crashmore Trailer" hilariously sends up hard-boiled revenge shoot 'em ups, with Crashmore hollering things similar "Fuck y'all! Yous suck" and "Are you lot dumb?" as he blows hapless goons to $.25. He has no regard for his own life, either, at ane indicate announcing, "I don't care if I die at all. Everything has sucked lately." Santa is as cantankerous off the set, as seen in "Junket," where he nigh storms out over the mere mention of his other chore delivering presents; he's as well extremely pretentious, referring repeatedly to his moving-picture show every bit a "cosmic gumbo." Wiff'south large Jon Voight energy makes him a perfect mouthpiece for this sketch's particularly unhinged writing—you lot can tell Robinson and co. are having a boom putting words in his mouth.

41. "Claire's" (Flavor 2, Episode 6)

Niggling Sadie (Kyra Lyn), nervous about getting her ear pierced for the commencement time, is treated to an unusual testimonial video that makes up most of "Claire'southward," the final sketch of Season ii. Actualization in the video are ii girls her age, as well every bit Ron Tussbler (Richard Wharton), a bald, bearded 58-year-onetime oddball who recalls being "nervous to the point of diarrhea" while getting his ain earring. Tussbler earnestly uncorks non sequiturs like, "Sometimes I put my dad in JibJab videos so he's live again," and lays out his deranged theory of the afterlife, because of course he does. By the end of "Claire's," Sadie and the grown human (Carlos Antonio) who's inexplicably watching the video with her are visibly moved by what they're watching. Information technology's a pretty apt metaphor for Flavour 2, really, going places y'all don't wait in surprisingly heartening fashion.

40. "Babe Cries" (Season ii, Episode 2)

Babies cry, oft for no item rhyme or reason, but when Robinson's character in this Season 2 episode-closer holds a baby who starts crying, he's convinced there'south a very specific reason: "Probably just doesn't like me 'cause I used to exist a slice of shit." From there, he tells the entire party about his problematic by (into which slicked-back hair and "sloppy steaks" figure prominently), and begins to worry that "the baby thinks people can't modify." Robinson'due south bizarre party guy persona is the main thrust of the sketch, and when he holds the baby a second fourth dimension, we're transported dorsum into his piece of shit days—soundtracked past what sounds like an original Ezra Koenig song written for the show, he meets his slice of shit friends and enjoys a round of sloppy steaks, eventually encountering the baby, who smiles as if to say, "You've come a long way." There's an odd, wandering quality to this sketch, as if Robinson and company were deliberately deviating from their usual class—the event is a mixed bag, but you accept to commend the level of effort.

39. "River Mountain High" (Season one, Episode 2)

"River Mountain High" takes the form of a soapy teen drama before swerving into advertainment territory with the arrival of Robinson's Primary S., who stops the loftier schoolhouse intrigue cold to hawk TC Topps' TC Tuggers shirts ("The just shirt that'due south got a picayune knob on the front so you tin can just pull it out when information technology gets trapped on your belly") with all the subtlety of a carnival barker. Robinson plays this as if TC Topps himself underwrote River Mountain High and insisted on a cameo, proving himself clueless about both salesmanship and acting in the procedure. The sketch, equal parts Degrassi and Detroiters, culminates in a TC Tuggers advert straight out of Cramblin Duvet's portfolio.

38. "Party Firm" (Flavour ane, Episode 6)

Season one's final sketch nearly plays as a tacit recognition of I Think You Should Leave's meme-ready, net-friendly appeal, in that iconic cartoon true cat Garfield is central to it. Kate Berlant stars as the overzealous ringleader of a group planning an intervention for their alcoholic friend (Robinson), and from the offset you can tell she's up to something: She insists on staging the intervention at her "party house," calling it "the perfect trap" and tersely issuing snack assignments to her colleagues (played past Dinora Walcott, Lauran September and James Babson), breaking the huddle with a hearty "Let's bosom the fucker." The big reveal? Her house is covered wall to wall with Garfield merch, down to the Odie recliner Robinson's interventionee sits in. Berlant's obsession with everyone's favorite feline lasagna enthusiast, it turns out, isn't conducive to an effective intervention, and everything only gets weirder from in that location.

37. "Grambles Lorelei Lounge" (Flavor 2, Episode 3)

When iii business school classmates meet up with their dearest former professor (Bob McDuff Wilson) for dinner, they expect a pleasant meal and a chance to catch upwardly. What they get, once the food arrives, is the professor'south total obsession with Dylan's (Robinson) entree, like society envy taken to—and then beyond—its logical extreme. The professor's passive-ambitious attempts to commandeer Dylan's burger are funny, peculiarly when they succeed ("Dylan, I'm gonna swallow the whole thing," he announces later on being offered a bite), merely even funnier is his insistence that no ane can know how he "housed Dylan's burger": "Let me have a video of y'all saying that you lot're gonna kill the president," he demands, like a child trying to blackmail someone. If there'southward a scene-stealer on the level of Ruben "No Good Car Ideas" Rabasa in Season ii, information technology'due south Wilson, whose dignified manner makes his cringeworthy behavior that much funnier.

36. "Baby Shower" (Flavour i, Episode half-dozen)

"Baby Shower" eases us into a pleasant, reality bear witness-style baby shower planning session earlier slowly merely surely revealing its truthful purpose: Robinson's character's bizarre gift bag item suggestions, including "Stanzo brand fedoras," "thousand plastic meatballs" ("They don't go bad or stink or nothin'"), tommy guns and "50 black, slicked-back hair wigs," aren't simply wildly off-base—they besides come with an ulterior motive, as we find out they're really unused props from Robinson's aborted mob moving picture. From at that place, the sketch becomes a struggle for the hoody-wearing would-be pic producer to recoup his sunk costs; against all odds, the shower planners assent, buying Robinson'due south product in bulk—he'southward a tough negotiator, it turns out. Come up for the Stanzos, stay for the boring-motion finger guns.

35. "New Printer" (Season 1, Episode 5)

Rising star Patti Harrison (Shrill) is front and center in this part-set sketch, in which a coworker of hers makes a mundane wisecrack—remarking on the fancy new copier corporate sent them, Steve (Korey Simeone) jokes, "I guess Christmas came early this yr," earning a tepid express joy that draws Harrison'due south character Tracy in like a moth to flame. Tracy spends the residuum of the sketch chasing that dragon, cracking lame variations on Steve's already-lame joke in a drastic and doomed quest for her officemates' approval, rewording each riff only slightly, equally if she's so close to comedy gold but tin can't quite crevice it. Even subsequently the office gaggle has awkwardly dispersed, Tracy keeps at it, her biting disappointment at her "hundreds of on-par, if not better [jokes]" that didn't land bubbles over into a full-on meltdown. Robinson just pops in at the very stop, playing a key role in the sketch's unexpectedly sweetness conclusion—this is Harrison's sketch, and it'due south a gift. Santa should've wrapped it … when he gave it early …

34. "Diner Wink" (Flavour 2, Episode two)

This Season 2 sketch is somewhat overshadowed by the fact that the cracking Bob Odenkirk appears in it, but is a total treat even so. Robinson plays a dad in a diner who'due south trying to convince his daughter they can't go get ice foam for dessert; he makes up a white lie, winking at Odenkirk'south lone diner, who then gets in on the harmless deception earlier proceeding to have it way, way besides far. "And I own every kind of archetype machine," he tacks on out of nowhere, much to Robinson'due south dismay. Oddly sugariness, "Diner Wink" lets Odenkirk shine equally a lonely weirdo whose fabricated-up story of his life twists and turns like the open road he claims to spend and then much time on. By the terminate of the sketch, Robinson's grapheme is rooting for him, and you will be, besides.

33. "Petty Vitrify Boys" / "Dave Campor" (Season ii, Episodes 1 & 5)

Sam Richardson returns to "Baby of the Yr"-type territory (though not as memorably) in this ii-parter, which begins with him hosting The Little Buff Boys Competition in front of a baffled corporate issue audience. It'south unclear who hired him, or where the Little Buff Boys' parents are, but it'south clear the golden suited-host is a dedicated showman, despite caput exec Calvin Trempane's (Marcos De Silvas) hesitance to participate in determining which little boy is the most "carved up." Richardson unmarried-handedly makes this sketch piece of work, selling everything from the obviously artificially muscular piddling boys ("Look at this piddling brick shithouse!") to the soundtrack ("Stop the music. Hard! I desire you to cutting it out difficult!"), and Andre Belue (Detroiters' Tommy Pencils) pops upwardly in role two as a sometime Picayune Buff Boys winner who now eats what sounds like a life-threatening corporeality of "ruddy chuck salad." Sadly, it's the only time we see either in Season two, only we'll take any of these guys we tin get.

32. "Del Frisco's Double Eagle" (Flavor 2, Episode 5)

Search Party star John Early on steps into the spotlight in this sketch as Leslie, who'southward attending a dinner with a large group of work friends. The life of this party is the gregarious Hal (Danny Nucci), whom a lightheaded Leslie calls "a genius at having fun"—when Hal proposes they decide who pays for dinner with a game of credit card roulette, Leslie is completely onboard … until the exact moment that his credit card gets picked. The sketch turns on Early on's performance, and he executes the abrupt shift from being up for anything to being a total buzzkill with relish. I might have liked to encounter more of the "hilarious waiter brothers" (who are related in real life, YouTubers the Kolontarov brothers), but watching Early end the mood with extreme prejudice is a please.

31. "Wife Joke" (Season two, Episode 4)

Another Season 2 casting coup, "Wife Joke" stars Paul Walter Hauser (Richard Jewell himself!) as Scott, a husband who makes an offhand joke near his married woman driving him to drink while playing poker with his friends. His instant, visible regret triggers a flashback to a time when his wife (Jennifer Marsala) was in that location for him; after he gets bandage in a play, his costar Jamie Taco (Nicholas Azarian) starts stealing his lines, in an echo of what nosotros're pretty certain was an Entourage B plot in one case. Their disharmonize is ridiculous and besides surprisingly sentimental, leading Scott to conclude, "I love my wife. She helped me when I freaked out most Jamie Taco." Jamie Taco has a good shot at being Flavour two's breakout grapheme on the force of his name alone, simply it'south Hauser's earnest plough as the ultimate married woman guy that makes this sketch sing.

30. "Has This E'er Happened To You" (Flavour 1, Episode 1)

This local law house commercial spoof stars Robinson as depression-rent chaser Mitch Bryant, who addresses the camera to pose the sketch's titular question, intercut with an increasingly hyper-specific hypothetical in which a new homeowner discovers termites in his walls, just for the exterminators he calls to play a serial of preposterous pranks on him. Mitch'due south speaking volume increases forth with the ridiculousness of the reenactment, which features the bear witness's start use of "mudpies," the Turbo Team in all their burrow-stomping celebrity, and "a toilet the verbal same size as yours only with a joke pigsty that'south just for farts." From Turbo Time onwards, Mitch is shouting and we are cackling.

29. "Biker Guy" (Season ane, Episode 2)

One of a select few I Call up You Should Leave Flavour 1 sketches to completely eschew the show's "spiral up, then double down" formula, "Biker Guy" opts instead for wall-to-wall goofiness, with Robinson equally a hirsute biker dude whose vocal appreciation for various "motorcycles"—including a bicycle ("Motorcycle, no motor?!"), car ("Two motorcycles with a trivial firm in the heart?!"), omnibus (whose glory renders him completely speechless) and, oh yep, a couple of actual motorcycles—is eventually revealed to stem from him being an emissary of a motorcycle-obsessed conflicting race. Whatsoever sketch that involves a gang of extraterrestrial biker types shouting their approval at a infant railroad vehicle is okay past united states of america.

28. "Christmas Carol" (Flavour 1, Episode 4)

Presented every bit a grainy sometime Idiot box special titled "The Nighttime Scrooge Saved Christmas" starring Ebenezer Scrooge (Charles Hutchins) and "The Ghost of Christmas Mode-Future," played past Robinson's Detroiters collaborator Sam Richardson, "Christmas Ballad" melds the pseudo-time travel of A Christmas Carol with full-on, Terminator-esque sci-fi, albeit with a much lower budget. Richardson'south mech-suited warrior warps from the twelvemonth 3050 to burst through Scrooge'due south wall, Kool-Help Man-style, and recruit him to join humanity's war against "Skeletrix and his Os Brigade"—soon enough, said Bonies show upward to bring the fight to them. Richardson's exaggerated, snarling delivery makes patently ridiculous lines similar "Lookout man out Scrooge, it's a bone llama! Don't allow information technology lay an egg," and "Use your Christmas cheer and bash its frickin' brains out, ya idiot!" fifty-fifty funnier. We tin can simply hope to see Scrooge put his newfound bone-crushin' skills to further utilise in season two.

27. "HD Vac" / "Role Two" (Season 2, Episodes 1 & 3)

This Season 2 two-parter prominently features a hot dog, like one of Flavour 1's all-time sketches (#five on this list) and multiple Detroiters episodes before it. Part ane finds Robinson's character Pat, miffed past his boss moving a coming together into his lunchtime, smuggling lunch into the conference room up his sleeve and then he can consume it on the sly. His ill-conceived, completely unconvincing pantomime ("I'1000 just the tiredest I've ever been in my life," he insists as an excuse to put his head downward and bite into his lunch) leads to his nearly-expiry by choking (not to mention his nigh-murder of Whitmer Thomas' character) and full humiliation, which leads in turn to the sketch'due south second segment: a commercial for the "Carber Reputation Vacuum," a machine designed to forestall others from suffering the same fate as Pat, who was fired from his chore and "cannot talk well-nigh it without crying" (which actually checks out—he sounds like one of Marge Simpson's sisters past the finish of the sketch). "Hd Vac" sets Season 2'southward richly strange tone from the offset.

26. "Mars Restaurant" (Season 2, Episode 5)

Season i star Tim Heidecker is back in this lengthy episode-closer equally Gary, who takes his appointment Jeanine (Tracey Birdsall) out to a corny, space-themed novelty bar. Unlike his "Game Night" (#13) character Howie, Gary is really not the asshole of this sketch, at least for the well-nigh role. Gary is oddly charming and sweetness to his engagement, and he gets a real kick out of the show, in which an animatronic alien caput cracks jokes at the expense of various diners. But when the alien interrupts Gary and Jeanine's serious conversation to roast them, he flies off the handle, volunteering way also much horrifying data ("I watched my daddy get executed past the state for homicide, dude!") in defending himself and Jeanine from the eatery employee's innocuous jokes. What "Mars Restaurant" lacks in punchy laugh lines, information technology makes up for with surprising wholesomeness and empathy.

25. "Driver's Ed" (Flavour two, Episode 6)

You know you're in for a wild ride when this sketch's driver'south ed instructor (Robinson) introduces a serial of instructional videos with the befuddling caveat, "Don't let the way distract you. And I don't want any questions about the tables!" All three C.A.R.S. (Cars Are Actually Safe) videos star Patti Harrison every bit a adult female driving a agglomeration of folding tables effectually in her van—we learn that, somehow, these tables are her job ("These tables are how I buy my house. They keep my house hot!" she shouts, with a perfectly timed voice crack), a fact that immediately and irrevocably distracts from whatsoever constructive discussion of safe driving. The students' defoliation is a lot of fun, every bit is Robinson'south exasperation at both the videos and his class's perfectly reasonable questions about them, but Harrison'southward repeated meltdowns over the country of her tables are the loftier point of this sketch.

24. "Friends Weekend" (Season 2, Episode 4)

In Tim's grapheme in this sketch's defence, his situation is awkward to begin with: Marcus (Conner O'Malley) and his girlfriend Jeanine (Emerge Pressman) are arguing in front of everyone who's joined them at their mountain cabin (including Detroiters' Shawntay Dalon), sucking the fun out of their friends weekend. So Robinson decides to lighten the mood past doing an unabridged Blues Brothers trip the light fantastic toe routine, consummate with hat and sunglasses, upsetting the couple's canis familiaris, who "thinks he'due south a whole new guy" because of his get-up and won't finish barking. Rather than stopping, he insists his girlfriend Lisa (Aasha Davis) repeatedly jack upwardly the book on "Soul Man"—betwixt the clarion music, barking dog and aroused audition ("No one likes what yous're doing!"), "Friends Weekend" is all near tension and release. The latter comes when Tim's grapheme finally finishes up, removing his glasses to reveal tear-streaked cheeks. In that location's something so funny almost a well-meaning guy barreling alee in an ill-considered effort to improve a situation, despite overwhelming evidence that he's merely making it worse.

23. "New Joe" (Flavour 1, Episode 3)

Robinson wisely steps aside for this one, letting guest star Fred Willard run wild as the least appropriate funeral organist yous could perchance imagine. Seeing the "New Joe" joke coming a ways off is part of the fun—everything is appropriately somber until we cut to Willard'southward wacky-looking backup organist, at which point the pastor (Clifton Davis) observes with business, "I'thousand now seeing that he brought his own much larger organ." New Joe beams blithely, breaking plates and triggering an entire carnival's worth of bells, whistles and horns for an aghast grouping of mourners, much to the apparent delight of the deceased, and the certain delight of Netflix subscribers.

22. "Choking" (Flavor one, Episode 5)

"Choking" finds Robinson'southward painfully hip graphic symbol Tim at dinner with friends, 1 of whom turns out to be a Jared Leto-esque multi-hyphenate named Caleb Went (Hudson Thames)—"I am such a big fan of his Angels and Archways habiliment," Robinson gushes. Starstruck and agape to embarrass himself, Robinson takes a bite of his dinner and immediately chokes on it, a fact he and so tries to play off, not fooling his friend (Gary Richardson) for a second. Robinson's attempts to play it absurd despite his imminent expiry by asphyxiation include eating more food, drinking water (which he insists stinks, in a nice nod to our #4 sketch "Focus Group") and proposing a toast, gurgling and gasping all the while. "Choking" ends on Robinson being violently Heimlich'd in front of the entire eating place, freeze-framing on the creepy smile he directs at Went—really, Tim is lucky to make information technology out of this one alive.

21. "Calico Cut Pants" (Flavour 2, Episode four)

If at that place'due south one Flavor two sketch that's sure to exist polarizing, it's "Calico Cut Pants"—they say brevity is the soul of wit, but this is I Think Y'all Should Leave's longest sketch yet at almost 10 minutes, taking up over half an episode all by itself. We'd fence that runtime is justified, because it allows the sketch'southward patently ridiculous premise to sprawl until it resembles an absurdist workplace one-act unto itself. We won't try to summarize said premise, which is so out at that place, fifty-fifty Jeff (Mike O'Brien) spends a proficient chunk of the sketch trying to make sense of it, but suffice to say falling down the rabbit hole yourself is most of the fun. Robinson crams his character Greg full of odd, obnoxious foibles ("Hold that door!" foremost among them), and nosotros likewise get a Conner O'Malley advent, a killer sight gag ("Look up at my face") certain to become a meme whatever minute now, an unmutable video of a wrestler (Brody Rex) screaming, a wife who won't finish eating batteries, and a shirt that looks like a bell. If all that sounds absolutely mystifying to you, then y'all're getting it.

20. "Ghost Bout" (Season 2, Episode one)

A ghost tour guide (Alex Aiono) makes a huge mistake when he casually mentions that his late-night, adult tour group tin swear if they desire—Robinson'south graphic symbol promptly blurts out "Jizz!" and nosotros are off to the races. His wanton abuse of his license to expletive, as if attempting to somehow lucifer the guide'southward quippy free energy, doesn't get much improve when he'southward reminded to keep his comments focused on the actual ghost bout (his repeated utilize of "horse cock" might as well be a Fentons [#48] callback). Even subsequently the chagrined bout guide chews him out, he tin't help himself, wondering aloud even while visibly weeping, "Do any of these … fuckers … ever nail out of the wall and take, similar, a huge cumshot?" Robinson's character's fixation on saying the virtually absurd possible swears will make you belly-laugh, but has the reverse issue on his bout grouping—in fact, it gets him booted from it, making this the rare I Think You Should Leave sketch that actually ends in the perpetrator of awkwardness being ejected.

19. "Dan Flash's" / "Shops at the Creek" (Season 2, Episode 2)

At that place are few funnier shouters in comedy right now than Tim Robinson, and this Season 2 2-parter takes full advantage of that. Mike (Robinson) gets chosen out past his coworker Doug (William Knight) for line-fishing to leave an out-of-town business meeting early then he can go spend his per diem at Dan Flash'due south, a "badass" local store that sells gaudy shirts at exorbitant prices. Between his repeated bellowing at Doug ("Shut the fuck upward, Doug, you fucking skunk!") and his child-like obsession with Dan Wink's ("They have this ane shirt that costs ane thousand dollars because the patterns are so complicated. I want that one so bad!"), Mike does the opposite of wonders for the meeting'due south productivity, but does regular wonders for this laugh-out-loud funny sketch. Part two is sort of an afterthought, but it'southward fun to see (via an ad for "outdoor shopping experience" The Shops at the Creek) Dan Flash's and its berserk clientele losing it over their Windows screensaver-esque shirts in person.

18. "Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation Spine Specialists" (Season 1, Episode 3)

Easily the best of Flavor 1'due south advertizing-style sketches, "Laser Spine Specialists" juxtaposes familiar, medical testimonial footage with shots of a grinning, post-op Robinson, who cheerfully announces that he'll exist using his new lease on life to fistfight his ex-wife's new husband, assert his concrete dominance over his adult son ("He's been rude to me his whole life!" makes me express joy harder than just about any unmarried line in this show) and … confront a shady record executive played by an especially squirrelly Conner O'Malley, who's scammed Robinson into believing he's a hitmaker on the rise. All this comes before "Laser Spine Specialists" snaps back into its medical advertizing format at the very end, putting a perfectly timed bow on a bit that'due south that totally in our Q-Zone.

17. "Tammy Craps" (Season ii, Episode 6)

One of Flavour two'south most obviously cool sketches in content, if not form, "Tammy Craps" is a mock commercial for its titular doll, in which a voiceover cheerfully declares, "The but doll that poops, then lies about information technology doesn't have farts in her caput anymore!" The downside of that, every bit two spokes-children (In one case Upon a Time in Hollywood'southward Julia Butters, Kaliayh Rhambo) cheerfully explicate, is that the deodorizing poison used to expunge the fart smell from the Tammy Craps heads (what a sentence this is) can exist harmful to little girls nether 60 pounds (like Sitara Vengapally's chance-taking 54-pounder): "You gotta get out of here, piffling girl. This for you is like smoking v Macanudos." Butters does an unsurprisingly excellent job of selling the beyond-silly sketch, making "Tammy Craps" another inspired collision of guest star and material.

16. "Qualstarr Trial" (Season ii, Episode 3)

One of Flavor 2's most ingeniously structured sketches, "Qualstarr Trial" centers on an insider trading case, in which a prosecutor (Gita Reddy) reads aloud text messages as prove of the accused'due south declared collusion. During her recounting of their conversation, though, things take a turn, with the pair changing the subject area from illicit stock transactions to viciously mocking their coworker Brian's hat—we immediately rack focus to Robinson, sitting in the courtroom gallery wearing what is patently the chapeau in question, an utterly gut-busting reveal. The sketch ping-pongs betwixt footage of the defendants talking trash via the prosecutor—whose level, professional tone makes lines like "Holy fucking shit. Brian's hat just got him in huge problem in a meeting" so much funnier—and Brian'due south reactions to his manner sense beingness literally put on trial.

15. "Nachos" (Season 1, Episode four)

In this episode four standout, Robinson and his date (Lily Sullivan) are having such a nice dinner … until Robinson realizes she's hogging the fully loaded nachos that are the most fully loaded, and he but cannot allow that happen. Every step of this sketch's disastrous progression is painfully funny, from Robinson matter-of-factly announcing the problem to the restaurant's manager (Erik Rozet) every bit if it's a situation he probably handles all the fourth dimension, to the director'south uneasy attempt to fulfill Robinson's wishes past challenge the restaurant has a "don't hog all the compact nachos" policy, to Robinson'south crestfallen reaction to his engagement seeing correct through the transparently idiotic effort. Melodramatic music swells as Robinson acts genuinely heartbroken past the accusation that the fabricated-up rule was his doing, openly weeping as his clumsy attempts to comprehend his tracks crumble one prevarication at a time.

14. "Traffic" (Season 1, Episode four)

I'm less bullish on this sketch than nearly I Think You lot Should Leave enthusiasts for the simple reason that the joke information technology's built on—a commuter takes a "Honk if you're horny" bumper sticker literally—feels kind of easy. Only Robinson and the hilariously unhinged Conner O'Malley practise plenty with that premise: O'Malley's desperately horny character follows Robinson effectually, howling and honking nonstop until Robinson can't accept information technology anymore, confronting O'Malley during Robinson's mother'south funeral, no less. O'Malley'southward frantic flailing and Gollum-similar scurrying from headstone to headstone is one of the bear witness'due south best bits of physical comedy; meanwhile, Robinson clarifies that he is not, in fact, a representative of some sort of horniness consolation service, as O'Malley had (insanely) causeless. Subsequently O'Malley sniffs out the porn that happens to be in Robinson's trunk and procures some for himself, there's nothing left for Robinson to do only render to his mother'southward funeral and perform what sounds similar a Rebecca Blackness vocal every bit O'Malley emotionally exults in a muddy mag, resulting in ane of the show's well-nigh memed moments.

xiii. "Game Night" (Flavor 1, Episode three)

A perfect pairing of premise and guest star, this cringeworthy episode 3 sketch stars a scene-stealing Tim Heidecker equally Howie, a crabby, ponytailed onetime hipster whose esoteric music taste, snack preferences and entire personality make him a terrible charades actor and invitee at his younger girlfriend'southward (Sujata Day) get-together. The fictional jazz legends Howie proper noun-checks—Marcus "The Worm" Hicks, "household names like Roy Donk," Tiny Boop Squig Shorterly—are funny on their own, but Heidecker really makes his grapheme sing. We've all met a Howie, as he reminds us with every insufferable grunt, gesture and tape drove critique.

12. "The Homo" (Season ane, Episode ii)

Robinson recruited his fellow SNL alum Will Forte for this standout sketch from episode two, in which Forte plays a grizzled old man who goes to insane lengths (dear those lengths) to ruin a newlywed couple'due south (Robinson, Kate Comer) flight. Forte'southward character may not have gotten to brand those soldiers at Buckingham Palace laugh, but he certain does kill in this, from his dramatic monologue ("Modest whimpers at first … and then came the shrieking") to defending his rat seize with teeth ("It's not that gross!") and refusing to admit defeat when his evil program quickly unravels. Forte excels at characters who whipsaw between raving megalomania and pathetic sniveling, a spectrum he hits both ends of here.

xi. "Instagram" (Flavour 1, Episode 1)

The concept of this sketch is cypher too novel—taking social media cocky-deprecation to its logical endpoint by ramping playful terms of endearment up into outright insults—only its the execution that elevates "Instagram" to greatness. Some other of Robinson's fellow SNL alums, the very funny Vanessa Bayer, stars as Brenda, a immature adult female who can't seem to wrap her head around this detail social norm, writing in her brunch photo post, "Load my frickin' lard carcass into the mud. No coffin, please! Merely wet, moisture mud. Bae." Bayer's chipper delivery makes phrases like "slurping down fish piss" and "getting our butts sucked by flies" sound all the more demented—the sketch clocks in at under two minutes, but we'd watch a two-hour version without hesitation.

ten. "Chunky" (Season one, Episode vi)

If yous've heard anyone inexplicably apply the phrase "That's a Chunky" lately, peradventure keep a close eye on your backpack, because this game-show sketch from Season one'southward terminal episode is the reason. Robinson plays Dan Vega, host of Mega Coin Quiz, the rules of which are not made peculiarly clear in the starting time (or middle, or finish) of this fleck. All nosotros acquire is that the game revolves around Chunky, a wacky carmine character who "eats your points" and "gets very mad"—it turns out everyone involved, including Vega and beleaguered contestant Paul (executive producer Andy Samberg), is in the night as to what Mesomorphic's schtick really is. Fortunately, Robinson's utter exasperation ("Figure out what you practice! You lot had all summer to recall of information technology!") is better TV than anything Chunky could have come upwards with.

9. "Which Hand" (Season 1, Episode 3)

The SNL connection continues in this rollercoaster of an episode three opener, in which Cecily Potent's character and her unwitting husband (Robinson) take hold of a comedy magician's act that irrevocably impacts their marriage. To depict exactly how this plays out would exist to rob of you the all-time thing about it, but suffice to say nosotros're belongings a Paste Emmy in reserve for Stiff, who hard-sells this sketch's contextually absurd emotional depth charge, sending Robinson'south graphic symbol, then expressionless-eyed and brokenhearted, on a quest for insanely petty revenge. Perfectly structured and surprisingly harrowing (particularly for the married), this is ane of Flavour 1's best $.25.

eight. "Spectrum" (Season 2, Episode i)

Season 2 comes out swinging with "Spectrum," a mock ad warning cablevision subscribers that a network called Corncob TV—and a evidence called Coffin Flop, in which corpses crash violently through coffins during funerals with zero context—is under threat of beingness dropped from their airwaves. You lot can see why, both immediately and repeatedly: "Because nosotros showed over 400 naked dead bodies on our show Coffin Flop," says Robinson's Corncob Goggle box rep, laying out Spectrum's case against his network while the intermittently nude bodies fly. His reaction to accusations of rigging the coffins are merely equally absurd as the Coffin Flop clips themselves: "I didn't practice fuckin' shit! I didn't rig shit! I've been waiting a long time for a hitting on Corncob TV! I didn't fucking do this!" he raves. Repeated cuts between Bury Flop footage and Robinson's increasingly unhinged monologue ("We're allowed to testify 'em nude because they ain't got no souls!") only creepo upwardly the sketch'southward derangement, making for a clear Flavor 2 standout.

seven. "Parking Lot" (Flavor 2, Episode 5)

"Parking Lot" is a Season two standout in many means, beginning and foremost because it's short and sugariness—while much of the second season sprawls and toys with your expectations about how an I Recall You Should Leave sketch typically unfolds, this i feels closer to the first season's wavelength, setting up a joke and sticking it before rapidly moving on. The joke in question: A road-raging commuter (John Solomon) blocked by Tim in a parking lot shouts, "Practice you know how to fucking bulldoze?" only for a visibly upset Tim to reply, "No, I don't know how to fucking drive. I don't know what whatever of this shit is and I'1000 fucking scared!" That and Tim horrifying himself by accidentally honking the horn are two of the biggest laughs of the show's new season—if that doesn't make "Parking Lot" a acme 10 sketch, I don't know what does.

6. "Prank Evidence" (Flavour ii, Episode one)

I Retrieve Y'all Should Leave's second season peaks early with "Prank Evidence," only its 3rd sketch, in which Robinson plays Cherry-red Laguzio, host of the Practical Jokers-esque Everything Is Upside Downwards. Donning heavy makeup and prosthetics to embody his mischief-making Karl Havoc grapheme, Laguzio enters a shopping mall to mess with strangers on camera, merely to immediately spiral into an outright existential crisis. "There's too much fuckin' shit on me. I tin can't breathe," he mumbles through his ghoulish disguise, sparking an argument with his producer Craig (Gary Richardson) that leaves Carmine questioning the very purpose of his prank bear witness. Just Robinson and his writers could conceive of a featherbrained disguise so physically stifling, it saps a fun-loving TV host's will to live, but it's Robinson'south performance that makes "Prank Show" so laugh-out-loud funny (or is information technology interesting?), fifty-fifty when information technology gets unexpectedly night.

5. "Brooks Brothers" (Season 1, Episode 5)

If in that location's a meliorate sight gag than this in all of I Think You Should Get out, we sure would like to know about it. As it stands, the mysterious case of a Wienermobile-esque vehicle crashing into an upscale clothing store and its missing commuter—who really could exist everyone, equally a hot dog costume-clad Robinson sagely points out—gets to wear the crown. The sketch'south initial cut to Robinson, mock-angrily offering preemptive amnesty to the culprit who clearly isn't him, is killer—as is poor Donald'south (I Think You Should Exit co-creator Kanin) realization that he, too, is dressed like a hot canis familiaris—but Robinson's subsequent (surprisingly successful) efforts to weasel his way out of the situation are what actually make this one special. Robinson turns what easily could accept been a one-note bit into a highlight of the show.

4. "Focus Group" (Flavour ane, Episode 3)

The breakout star of I Think You Should Leave may very well be Ruben Rabasa, the Cuban actor/comedian whose advent in this episode two sketch the meme-iverse won't before long forget. The scene Rabasa steals features Robinson, not too far from Detroiters territory hither, as the head of a Ford focus group that takes an absurd turn when Rabasa'south character starts repeatedly insisting that all he wants is "a adept steering bicycle that doesn't fly off while you're driving" (which, to be fair, is definitely desirable). Rather than keeping such weird ideas to himself, Rabasa's character doubles down on them, winning over the group and rallying them against Paul (Kanin), the clear loser of the "good machine ideas" contest. Its endlessly quotable silliness makes a tough truth—that we all merely desperately desire to exist liked, desperately, even past complete strangers—then much fun.

iii. "Gift Receipt" (Flavor 1, Episode 1)

Episode 1'due south closer takes upwards about half its runtime, with not a moment wasted. Steven Yeun guest stars as Jacob, opening presents at his birthday party—when he claims half-heartedly to like his friend Lev's (Robinson) gift, Lev volition terminate at nothing to hold him to his word, first enervating his gift receipt back, then suggesting that he swallow it. Just this sketch'due south bright subversion of expectations sees the other partygoers—rather than judging Lev for his increasingly bizarre behavior—instead plow on Jacob, accepting Lev's premise and interrogating the birthday boy'south gift appreciation claims. This sketch'due south deadening and steady transformation from a familiar kind of situational cringe one-act into something entirely different is a joy to behold.

2. "Baby of the Twelvemonth" (Season 1, Episode one)

We'd give this fever dream from I Think You Should Leave's first episode an Emmy on the strength of Sam Richardson's opening number lonely, if we were in charge of that sort of thing. The "grueling," three-month-long Baby of the Year contest'due south climactic showdown between 3 slack-jawed, hilariously named infants (the phrase "Infant Fubbins" alone is so funny it'south not even fair) features vociferous heckling, accusations of unnecessary oral, an "In Memoriam" reel that includes causes of death, and the attempted assassination of bad-boy baby Bart Harley Jarvis. And did nosotros mention Sam Richardson? We're all winners this year.

1. "The Day Robert Palins Murdered Me" (Season i, Episode v)

A Walk the Line parody is simply about the terminal thing we were expecting from any comedy prove in 2019, which is just one part of what makes this sketch then wonderful. Rhys Coiro stars as a musician trying to impress a couple of onetime-timey record company execs, but the gospel music he plays them merely ain't sellin'. So Coiro pulls a Johnny Cash and launches into an original land vocal, to which his bassist (Robinson) contributes simply complete and total nonsense about sentient skeletons ("The worms are their coin / the bones are their dollars"). It'due south the very all-time nonsense from a prove overflowing with it.

Alright, you know what, this was impaired. Dump it, trash it, this ane's garbage.

I Think You Should Leave Season 2 is streaming on Netflix at present.

Scott Russell is Paste's music editor and he has never met a more aggressive baby than Bart Harley Jarvis. He'south on Twitter, if y'all're into tweets: @pscottrussell.
