“I Think You Should Leave: Exploring the Comedy Behind TV’s Latest Sensation”

Review: I Think You Should Leave Season Three, a Feat in TV Comedy

The third season of the Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave premiered on May 30, 2023, and it is remarkable. Co-created and led by Tim Robinson, the new season features six short episodes of freeform absurdism that engage the audience from the first few minutes, offering laughs that force viewers to pause and rewind to follow along.

Exciting Take on Traditional Structure

Robinson’s intentional avoidance of traditional premise-escalation-conclusion structure results in unfamiliar patterns that complicate the show’s predictability, a significant hurdle for comedies. However, Robinson skillfully avoided lapsing into trope in 2021’s second season, which was one of the saddest mainstream sketch shows of recent years. The third season, however, is outstanding.

Winning Patterns

Given the show’s format, Robinson has set a particular theme that features characters planting a stake in the ground and no matter how annoying or repulsive their take is, they obsessively double down on it until they become better off abandoning the situation. But the new season takes a subtle shift as Robinson begins to win. In a few sketches, Tim Robinson plants his stake, and surprisingly people start to agree with him.

Hit and Miss, but a Slight Gripe

While all sketch shows are hit or miss, Robinson’s inclusion of guest stars such as Will Forte, along with Beck Bennett and The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, is noteworthy, but there’s a general feeling that he might be becoming hamstrung by his success. Robinson’s presentation style has become so distinct that several guest stars spend their sketches doing weak versions of Tim Robinson impersonations. This particular gripe notwithstanding, the new season is wonderful.

Final Verdict

The arrival of the third season of I Think You Should Leave is a gift to every comedy lover, and television viewer generally. The series is a refreshing change in a world where comedy skits have become repetitive and predictable.

Advice

To anyone looking for something new and exciting, I Think You Should Leave is definitely a must-watch. It’s a fantastic reminder of why we started to laugh in the first place, with short, memorable skits that will have you chuckling long after the show has ended.

Overall, the third season of I Think You Should Leave is incredibly funny, a must-watch for comedy fans. The skits are remarkable and leave viewers giggling and rummaging through their memories for more laughs. It shouldn’t take long, push play, and laugh your heart out!
