I Think You Should Leave’s third season trailer proves it: Triples is best
The long-awaited return of the funniest sketch show on TV is almost here
Aux News It
We all know I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson is this special little thing that shouldn’t exist. Something so pure and perfect isn’t fit for the petulant, sinful meat bags who watch it. Thankfully, it doesn’t matter what we deserve because Emmy-award winner Tim Robinson is returning to television where his screams sound like the songs of the angles. I Think You Should Leave finally hits Netflix next week, and we finally have the trailer that we will be watching over and over and over and over until it does.
This season’s batch of six is loaded with guest stars, including Jason Schwartzman, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, Sam Richardson, Will Forte, Patti Harrison, Ayo Edebiri, Mitra Jouhari, Tim Heidecker, Beck Bennett, Conner O’Malley, and Carmen Christopher. But all that pales in comparison to the return of Biff Wiff, better known as the “crazier than hell” Detective Crashmore, a.k.a. Santa Claus. Per the trailer, Wiff isn’t shooting anyone in the chest and screaming, “Fuck you. You suck.” This particular cosmic gumbo sees him trying to “rip the Wright brothers off the ceiling.” That may or may not make more sense once the show airs, but we can rest assured knowing there will be tons of screaming on this show.
Other than that, there’s nothing coherent in the trailer, but to quote one of the mysterious weirdos accosting Robinson in the trailer: “We’re gonna go nuts” when the show comes out. Still, now that the third season is finally making its way to TV, we can finally declare once and for all that triples is best.
The third season of I Think You Should Leave hits Netflix on May 30, which is just one short week away.

Patti Harrison had some of my favorite bits, so hopefully we see more of her.
The sketch where she’s a Shark was just so fucking great
I HATE bald boys. I can’t STAND bald boys. Anytime I see bald boys, I think I’m back IN THE PANTS
It’s just that amount of money, that gets smaller until I die.
“When I see little bald boys, it makes me feel like I’m back in the pants.”
She’s doing great, considering she was accidentally sewed into the pants of the big charlie brown at the thanksgiving day parade.
his screams sound like the songs of the angles.Rare thing that’s probably a typo but also true.
Jason Schwartzman looks like a dink.
Oh thank god it’s not just me, at first I thought it was the botched beard dye job :/
Isn’t that his whole schtick?
Fantastic! Was rewatching Detroiters this month and need MORE PENGUIN!
TAY-BULS!
I watched the first season of this and just never got it. It seems universally beloved and I enjoyed bits and pieces of it but I wish I got it better. Even the very famous Hot Dog suit sketch just dragged on and on.
YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE TURBO TEAM
sketch shows don’t have universal appeal? There’s a shock. Next thing you know, someone will claim they are inherently hit and miss.
You gotta watch it many times over and incorporate it into your conversations
When I clean up after dinner I never miss the opportunity to cry out “What did Eddie Munster do to my table!”
I do quite like the hot dog suit one, but broadly I agree.
It’s ok, I, too, used to be a HUGE piece of shit
It’s a very personal statement from an unheralded voice. People love that shit. Most sketch shows are a little bland. Even recent greats like Baroness Von Sketch Show or Key & Peele, while clearly representing their creators voices, don’t feel as original or idiosyncratic. I Think You Should Leave, like the best sketch shows, has its own internal logic. It’s like watching TV from a different world with its own culture and social norms. Of course something so specific isn’t going to appeal to everyone.
This show hits that uncanny valley where praise for it ruins it. It’s amusing enough, but the fans push it into ‘Elaine!! You HAVE to see the BAY-BEE!!!’ territory. For instance, I enjoyed it. . . enough, but I enjoyed every moment of Detroiters more than ITYSL even at it’s best.
Probably because that show oozed charm
I’ve liked a couple of sketches but truly don’t get the adulation. But then, I was more lukewarm on Detroiters than most despite being a big fan of Sam Richardson. Tim Robinson’s “I’M SCREAMING ISN’T THAT HILARIOUS” shtick just doesn’t do much for me.
I’m looking forward to this, but honestly the show has to do a lot to top last season’s “Coffin Flop”.
Corncob TV will never die!
Trying to top Corncob TV is the sort of thing that can doom an artist. It’s like Axl Rose constantly trying to get people to stop saying Appetite for Destruction is the best GnR album. That level of self-inflicted pressure is crippling.
