i think you should leave with tim robinson

stanzo brand fedoras

palm tree girls love palm tree guys

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:

I SAID WAY FUTURE, SCROOGE!

don't let it lay an egg!

it's the shirt with the dope tugging knob

this might be the funniest show in human history

I can watch it over and over

or the shots of people sneaking onto the construction site in the dead of night which you think is going to be a major plot point only to find out it's a bunch of people racing RC trucks. but it becomes a major plot point because it causes Ron to snap and shove Jeff.

In a similar vein, all the Chekhov’s guns which never resolve - like the concussion thing which actually does pop up again but is completely ignored

(Which apparently people are using to theorize that all the lunacy is the result of Ron hitting his head one too may times) I dunno, I can’t ever imagine trying to elaborate grand theories to explain any of the ‘mysteries’ of this show

haha anyone thinking that there are hidden clues that will eventually tie it all together are like charlie brown kicking the football. i'm not a betting man but i'd be pretty comfortable wagering that season 2 of this show will just feature more and more threads spiraling off into more and more absurd directiones

I dunno that brain injury thing makes a lot of sense

exactly

yeah among other things the show is clearly satirizing the format of those kind of longform mystery/puzzlebox shows and the way that viewers are conditioned to engage with them

I think the head injury thing messes with the show's central premise, that yes Ron is nuts but these things actually are happening? Granted the supernatural elements introduced at the end may need to be explained away somehow. Though I suspect Lavator is right, shows like this don't often get *less* crazy in Season 2

Porn's in a weird place right now

I just tried to sign up to a gaming site with the username 'redballmarketglobal' and THEY wouldn't allow it... all part of the conspiracy?

(I guess 'ball' could be rude idk)

Did you just nut in your OVDs?
