I Think You Should Leave season 3

[Currency Cat]

@Deliciousbass phrases like "I can't know how to hear any more about tables" tickle my brain too.

Even though many sketches descend into "man yells about something bizarre", it's the little details or those odd wordings that really make it for me. Like in the dog door sketch, the small aside about how a swing dancer turned his wife upside down at a wedding and it really bothered him.

Yeah, the way the show garbles language is delightful to me too. "You hit me in the cup" and "He used too small a slice of toilet paper" are others that really get me.

Finished the new season now, and overall, far more misses than hits for me unfortunately. Feel like maybe I'm just getting a bit bored of his particular formula.

[Rolf Lundgren]

I'm dying watching this. Think it might be the best series. The guy on the zipwire on the dating show and his reaction to being kicked off almost killed me. Also loved the HR woman who was so proud of her zinger she wanted to get everybody a t-shirt of it.

The little turns of phrase add so much to it. Like the metal guy on the game show where they keep emphasising that he built it for absolutely no reason.

[Clownbaby]

I watched the doggy door sketch about 30 more times, like I always seem to do with this show for some reason, and the way he blinks agitatedly while saying "that thing came in while I was on the couch" is great.

[Purple Toupee]

I think this new series is a lot better than Series 2, the third episode in particular is just hit after hit.

There are so many sketches in series three that pay off with characters shouting and screaming, I have to wonder if madhair was on the writing team. It seems like way more than previous seasons, and Tim has really dialled up how much of a lunatic he is in each sketch. Earlier seasons would have a little bit of normal Tim and build to some real insanity, now each sketch he's in he's at 11 immediately. He's in Dan Flashes mode throughout.

Didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous two, don't know if I'm just bored with it or its played out or what.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

season 3 is good alright cheers

[McDead]

I might enjoy it more when I rewatch the whole thing in future and netflix sees fit to shuffle all the episodes from all three seasons together in hilariously random order.

[madhair60]

just want to confirm that I am not on the writing team

RANDOM!!

[thugler]

First three decent. Second three very diminishing returns.

Not as good as the first 2 seasons.

Maybe it is just getting a bit formulaic.

[Led Souptin]

Really loving this season!

It is formulaic but the formula is unique so I'm not tired of it yet.

It's the sketches that complelty veer off subject that I love, like the guy in the audience talking between laughs, which I thought was going to devolve into shouy9ng but actually starts to paint such a funny picture of a really unfortunate night that this man had. The idea of a limo driver having a part of the limo you can't enter,  which is actually full of other customers is amazing to me. Really silly flights of fancy. Kinda limmy esque.

[Clownbaby]

Kinda limmy esque.

Yeah, the very specific but also sort of mundane/familiar things that happen in a lot of the sketches, which become strangely nightmarish with the way they're presented, often give me a Limmy feeling. Something that's actually plausible and relatable just fixated on to the point where you realise how unsettling it can be.

[Average Comedy Enjoyer]

I love Conor O'Malley in the Honk if you're Horny sketch, his Arnie style groaning makes me laugh every time.

I'd be interested to hear what people's favourite quotes from season 2 are, for some reason it's a lot less quoted in our house

We regularly use the following phrases
S1:
- PfWhaaat? (nachos man)
- Pancaked by a drunk dump truck driver
- Did the oral
- I'm not even sposed to *be* here (clown)
- That's a chunky!
- Figure out what it is you do
- Too small a slice (mudpies)
- Their bones are their money
- Up but not Out
- Augheaugh (Horney honker)
- Fri-day-night
- Paul Bufano
- Stanzo brand


S2:
- I don't want to be here any more
- I'm scared of how much I like wine
- That's my real hair!
- Gimme dat (burger professor)

[Josef K]

Always fun trying to predict which sketches in a season will have staying power as a meme, like the hot dog car one.

Driving Crooner seems to be the one I've seen referenced the most so far (this made me laugh a lot)

[Led Souptin]

I'd be interested to hear what people's favourite quotes from season 2 are, for some reason it's a lot less quoted in our house

"No I don't know how to drive... I don't know what any of this shit is and i'm fuckin scared"

i think that's season 2... maybe it isnt but i love his earnest delivery of that line

[Clownbaby]

"IT'S TURBO TIME!"
"A joke hole that's JUST FOR FARTS."
"Spread blue butts" and "Seriously?!" (In that voice)

I love the way Tim can flawlessly replicate the same vibe as a kid excitedly telling you a story and gradually getting more carried away and eventually just talking a load of weird made-up nonsense. Like Ralph Wiggum when he's talking about catching Miss Krabappel and Skinner snogging in the janitor cupboard. "And then a baby popped out and it looked at me". Always feels like that to me.

[Average Comedy Enjoyer]

A game we played in S1 and 2 was to work out if you are

a) watching the "Tim" character (not necessarily played by Tim) interacting with ordinary, usually shocked people

b) watching what could be a reenactment of an event as told by the "Tim" character, usually obvious if Tim comes out on top or if other characters are Timlike.

I love how quickly it can change from A to B, which seems to happen quite a lot in S3.

Reminds me of how in Stath Lets Flats all other estate agents are weirdos but most people are just regular normals.

[madhair60]

the one that's stuck with me as very very funny (besides "bones are their money") is RAAAANDOM!

[DoesNotFollow]

Some of the first episode (of Series 3) had my 62-year-old mum chuckling, especially the heckling the silent performer.

I could watch this Tim Robinson chap endlessly, I think.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

If I was a big ol' guy with a big burly white beard, would you still be yelling at me? Or would you be spanking my bare butt, balls, and back?

[DoesNotFollow]

To elaborate I caned series 3 in one go and enjoyed it. Just revisiting series 2 which I remember breezing through as well. Each episode of often such an onslaught that I think it benefits from a re-watch.

Also:

"What was her job?"
"Tables."

[David Pielingtonburygrot]

Finished watching yesterday and sadly Series 3 feels like the weakest, particularly 4-6. Still generally loved it though.

The highlight sketch for me was the mime whose childhood dream of an arty Marcel Marceau style one man show was bastardised into the challenge of remaining silent while being baited by students and meatheads. Strangely poignant, like a lot of ITYSL sketches.

[SteveDave]

The mime one got the biggest laugh at the reveal of the big screen showing the amount of money he'd have to pay out at the end of the show.

Oh my god, your are a total legend

[The Coat hanger]

Am very, very happy to see the quality has magically returned after a poor season 2 I felt."It's just I thought that monsters were real for 50 seconds" absolutely floored my wife. I'm going to shout "what are you" doing at mimes from now on. So many crazy bits. Need to watch again. Anyone seen "The cream brothers" on above average on you tube? It's pretty simple, but funny. Lots of funny stuff on their in general to be fair.

[The Mollusk]

Hello everyone it's me the voice of dissent!

A friend of mine posted the other day saying he finds this show mostly average to not good but when it hits it's incredible and used the doggy door sketch as an example of the best stuff. I'm still keen to try more with this show so I watched it and boom out of nowhere I thought it was brilliant. Perfect measure of weird, horrible and hysterical.

I am now content with this one 2 minute sketch being the only victory this show has had over me, like how the first Mastodon album is the only good one but it's so good I don't care how many other piles of shit they continue to make until they die. So please don't recommend other sketches I might like following this admission cheers

The Claire's Accessories is a favourite of me and my housemate. "Life's a fucking funny thing." The cut into it is brilliant.

And "Gimme dat" from the burger sketch.

I'd be interested to hear what people's favourite quotes from season 2 are, for some reason it's a lot less quoted in our house

Pretty much all of Crashmore; 'everything has sucked lately'
'Are you dumb?'
'Unprofessional bullshit'
'He might kill you, but there's no way he's killing me.'

Incidentally, and very sadly, the actor Biff Whiff who plays Crashmore / Santa and shirt brother from the latest season is battling cancer. There's a go fund me set up to help with his treatment costs here https://www.gofundme.com/f/biff-wiff

You gotta give!
