‘I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson’: Ranking the Sketches, from Best to Very Best

57. “Credit Card Roulette”

Alternate Title: “I’m Not Paying For It”

Guest Star: John Early (hates credit card roulette)

Laugh Line: “Fuck, I should have lied! No!”

Maybe You Forgot: There’s no such thing as a bad “ITYSL” sketch, but Credit Card Roulette doesn’t exactly trend toward the top. Without Robinson there to facilitate the awkwardness of the bill debacle, Early is left to carry all of the humor himself. That said, forgetting to lie and then beating yourself up over it is just a funny concept.

56. “Herbie Hancock” (pictured)

Alternate Title: “He Was Humping You”

Laugh Line: “That’s why I love Herbie Hancock, he loves to lie.”

Maybe You Forgot… that this sketch was centered around a Herbie Hancock tribute, considering it quickly devolves into Tim Robinson’s speaker claiming an audience member’s dog “bit” his head.

55. “Dave’s Huge Dumps”

Alternate Title: (that’s just what it’s called)

Laugh Line: “Oh my God. How long have you been doing this?”

Maybe You Forgot… his name is Luca. That’s important. 

54. “The Capital Room”

Alternate Title: “Charlie Brown Money”

Guest Star: Patti Harrison

Laugh Line: “And popcorn!”

Maybe You Forgot… if you bring her a bad deal, she’ll raise her arms above her head and make burping sounds.

53. “Insult Comic Restaurant”

Alternate Title: “Space Date”

Guest Stars: Tim Heidecker, Tracey Birdsall

Laugh Line: “Just to get school supplies her mom had to drink puke on a local morning radio show.”

Maybe You Forgot: Tim Heidecker also made an appearance as jazz aficionado Howie in the “Game Night” sketch in Season 1 of “I Think You Should Leave.”

52. “Bozo Dubbed”

Alternate Title: “Viral Videos”

Laugh Line: “I guess it’s, like, a viral video where Bozo dubs over.”

Maybe You Forgot: Look closely while a Google search is being performed for “Bozo Dubbed Over” and you’ll notice that Reggie’s video is nearly 57 minutes long. Release the Reggie Cut.

51. “Carber Hot Dog Vac”

Alternate Title: “You Can’t Skip Lunch, Part 2”

Alternate Title No. 2: “You Sure About That? You Sure About That, That’s Why?”

Laugh Line: “We all make mistakes. We shouldn’t be punished for them.”

Maybe You Forgot… Pushing lunch without asking shouldn’t be allowed. That’s the big takeaway here.

50. “Wilson’s Toupees”

Alternate Title: “Gorilla Attack”

Laugh Line: “That’s my real hair.”

Maybe You Forgot… if you can’t wait 52 weeks and need to be bald right now, Wilson’s will send a fake gorilla to a public place of your choosing, and rip your hair clean off!

49. “Baby Shower”

Alternate Title: “Stanzo Brand Fedoras”

Laugh Line: “It needs to be quality on my end, otherwise no fucking deal!”

Maybe You Forgot: Shawntay Dalon plays Tim’s wife in the sketch, but before “I Think You Should Leave,” she played Tim’s wife (and Sam Robinson’s sister) on their Comedy Central series, “Detroiters.”

48. “Babysitter Hit and Run”

Alternate Title: “Late to the Party”

Laugh Line: “If you keep talking about the hit and run, I’m gonna fucking kill you.”

Maybe You Forgot: If you’re a fan of characters very quickly digging themselves in a series of bigger, deeper, and cringier holes, this is the only sketch that has someone getting pushed into a china cabinet — that at least has to count for something.

47. “Little Buff Boys” (Commercial)

Alternate Title: “The Buffest Little Buff Boy”

Guest Star: Andre Belue, who played Tommy Pencils on “Detroiters”

Laugh Line: “I get full to the brim eating cherry chuck salad. People say it’s healthy, but with that much cherry and that much ground chuck, it can’t be healthy.”

Maybe you forgot: The way Belue growls and flexes between lines like “I still think I should have won in Tuscon!” and “Now I eat at some of the best restaurants in town” deserves its own mention. 

46. “Whoopee Cushion”

Alternate Title: “Pink Bag”

Laugh Line: “Oh my God… I farted.” (or: “So what’s the joke? That I had a milder fart than I normally do?!”)

Maybe You Forgot… that placing a whoopee cushion on an unsuspecting person’s chair — especially on the day of their family photo — is “a betrayal on levels that no one has ever seen!”

45. “New Office Printer”

Alternate Title: “Christmas Came Early”

Guest Stars: Patti Harrison 

Laugh Line: “Oh, that naughty old elf must be one mean bastard to give us this so early.”

Maybe You Forgot: Some “I Think You Should Leave” sketches are showcases for writing, and others are showcases for Choices. Some of Harrison’s line deliveries here are like a soloist throwing in extra notes, that aren’t even in a scale, yet somehow work. It’s a simple premise built around a 140-second joke, but Harrison playing her character’s frustration/embarrassment by weaving through four or five different voices elevates the whole thing.

44. “Hotel TV Channel”

Alternate Title: “Del Omni Hotel and Atrium”

Laugh Line: [the one guy following the screensaver pipe pattern all across the one shirt]

Maybe You Forgot… that the “baby, baby, baby” song was coming from the inside of the fabric of that last Dan Flashes shirt. That’s canon now. 

43. “Garfield House”

Alternate Title: “Party House”

Guest Star: Kate Berlant

Laugh Line: “That chair reclines, by the way. The tongue sticks out.”

Maybe You Forgot: If nothing else, this sketch beautifully illustrates the show’s commitment to a bit, as well as reminding us of how hand-in-hand hilarity and horror work. Nightmares have been had over that Odie recliner and nightmares will be had again.

42. “Honk If You’re Horny”

Alternate Title: (no one has ever called this anything other than “Honk If You’re Horny”)

Guest Stars: Conner O’Malley 

Laugh Line: ♫ “Fri. Day. Night. I’m thinkin’ that We. Just. Might….” ♫

Maybe You Forgot: Watching O’Malley physically convulse while pacing around a fleet of headstones, you get the feeling he might just be the most committed performer in all of comedy. This sketch maxes him out, and it’s telling that just the sight of him with his palm laying into the steering wheel has become a no-context meme all its own. Even if you don’t know the source of that image, you can sense this is a character working through some of the deepest on-screen existential (sexual) frustration this side of “Splendor in the Grass.” Kudos here also to the sound mixer, who manages to put the honk at just the right level in each step to sell the joke that this guy is Everywhere.

41. “The Man ft. Will Forte”

Alternate Title: “Old Baby’s Revenge”

Guest Star: Will Forte

Laugh Line: “It was 1982. I was 48, you were nine months.”

Maybe You Forgot… what the man was really upset about was the fact that he was too tired to do anything funny in pursuit of his lifelong dream of making the guards at Buckingham Palace break.

40. “Stable of Stars”

Alternate Title: “Carson Can Hit”

Guest Stars: Johnny Carson, George Kennedy, George W. Bush (kind of)

Laugh Line: “That’s my George Kennedy. I brought him here as a perk.”

Maybe You Forgot… that Tim Robinson characters are preoccupied with what’s around people’s houses. Remember the view from the Gift Receipt house? Maybe it’s for the best there are no coffee shops nearby.

39. CalicoCutPants.com

Alternate Title: “The Long One” (clocking in at eight minutes, 50 seconds, “CalicoCutPants.com” is the longest sketch of “ITYSL” so far)

Guest Star: Michael Patrick O’Brien

Laugh Line: “It’s the same thing Supreme does, wouldn’t you agree?”
“She just keeps eating batteries.”

Maybe You Forgot… that he always needs you to “hold that door!” (But he’ll never hurry to get there.)

38. “Gift Receipt”

Alternate Title: “Happy Birthday”

Guest Star: Steven Yeun

Laugh Line: “Tell them it’s the ugly house on Kenmore.”

Maybe You Forgot… that before he was an Oscar-nominated movie star, Steven Yeun was just some guy trying to conserve toilet paper. (OK, he was never “just” anything — Yeun has been great for a long, long time — but his quiet transition from enthusiastic to irritated to humbled birthday boy is outstanding, selfless work.)

37. “Motorcycles”

Alternate Title: “Mind-Blown Alien”

Laugh Line: [delivered to a woman standing by herself with a stroller] “Yeah! Yeah! Yeh-hey!”

Maybe You Forgot: Few on-location shoots have ever captured the wonder and beauty of walking around North Hollywood. With so many other “I Think You Should Leave” sketches centered around characters whose lives are crumbling at various speeds, it’s the ideal antidote to see Robinson in a “last-minute costume from the Halloween store”-level biker getup gaze in wonder at the most banal sights in the neighborhood. (He also manages to invent an entirely new accent in the process.) The reveal of the spaceship is one of the best effects-driven gags of the season, and the whole group joining in at the end makes for a perfect button. Just joyous.

36. “Ghost Tour”

Guest Stars: Alex Aiono, as the tour guide

Laugh Line: “Any of these little fuckers ever pop out of the fuckin’ wall and say, ‘Fuck, there’s a horse cock in my room or a donkey dick?’”

Maybe You Forgot: So much of Season 2 seems to be concerned with sad men who do not understand the world in which they live, and there’s no better example of this than Robinson’s final monologue in “Ghost Tour,” which is expertly preceded by a sheepish hand raise that both tips the audience off to what’s coming, but also makes us feel for this poor idiot: “You can’t change the rules just ‘cause you don’t like how I’m doing it. I don’t know what is going on, but somewhere our wires got crossed. You’re saying we’re allowed to swear. I’m saying ‘big, fat load of cum’ and ‘horse cock’ and you’re getting mad.”

35. “Instagram”

Alternate Title: “Sunday Funday”

Guest Star: Vanessa Bayer

Laugh Line: “Are we the pig dicks or the bags of meat?”

Maybe You Forgot… that before Brenda tagged her brunch friends as “wet chodes” and “bonafide pieces of hog shit,” they did call her a “dumb-dumb” — why are they bullying her?

34. “Blues Brother”

Alternate Title: “Take Off Your Hat and Glasses”

Laugh Line: [as a second dog appears from nowhere] “Oh, fuck.”

Maybe You Forgot: At first glance, there’s nothing intricate here. It’s just a guy trying to liven up an unnecessarily tense weekend getaway. But there’s something in the way that every new detail is an escalation. The Mr. Happy t-shirt. The dog is barking. He asks her to turn it up. The dog is jumping now? Wait, there’s a kid? Do they really not know his name? ANOTHER dog?? In and out in true “ITYSL” fashion, this is the show’s id on display.

33. “Laser Spine Specialists”

Alternate Title: “Your Family Hates You, Only I Love You”

Guest Star: Connor O’Malley

Laugh Line: “I can finally fight my wife’s new husband.”

Maybe You Forgot… that Robbie has a new beat ready for you, and it’s totally in your Q zone. (For at least two brief shots, the faintest hint of a smile crosses Connor O’Malley’s lips, as he tries to pull one over on Tim Robinson’s irate wannabe singer.)

32. “River Mountain High”

Alternate Title: “TC Tuggers”

Laugh Line: “But they’re not a joke.”

Maybe You Forgot: Sure, the bulk of the “TC Tuggers” sketch(es) take place in a pseudo-early-oughts teen drama “River Mountain High,” but things go next-level with a commercial for the shirts featuring chubby dads dancing awkwardly in their beloved TC Tuggers.

31. “Magicians Suck!”

Alternate Title: “Which Hand”

Guest Star: Cecily Strong

Laugh Line: “Well, you wouldn’t know it from the suit!”

Maybe You Forgot… that Charlie makes 10 times as much as the magician, but his wife and kids will never respect him. Not after this. Not after… the magic show.

30. “Game Night”

Alternate Title: “Charades”

Guest Stars: Tim Heidecker 

Laugh Line: “Where be your nutcracker?”

Maybe You Forgot: There’s someone in every friend group who shares at least some personality overlap with Heidecker’s jazz snob. (If you’re reading this, there’s actually a decent chance that you might be that person. It’s OK. We’re here for you.) There’s something about the unapologetic way that he quintuples down on his defining trait while also offering escalating looks at his glaring relationship issues that sells this lengthy sketch. It would be really easy to write jokes about how people who revel in the obscure are weird and terrible, but this purposefully avoids that. Heidecker makes it about the guy himself rather than his narrow interests, which seems like an important distinction. At its heart, a guy bringing his own bag of walnuts to a party and unfurling them with gusto is one of the most effectively bizarre details in the entire series.

29. “Choking”

Alternate Title: “Caleb Wendt”

Laugh Line: [not a line, but the demented freeze-frame ending where, as the parademics try to dislodge the food from his throat, Tim and Caleb’s eyes lock, and Tim’s mouth closes into a tight smile]

Maybe You Forgot… the friend trying to help Tim is played by Gary Richardson, an “SNL” writer who you may recognize from “Shrill,” “High Maintenance,” and a few more “ITYSL” sketches.

28. “Big Wave”

Alternate Title: “Surfing on the Conference Table”

Laugh Line: “I need a wet paper towel.”

Maybe You Forgot: Some of the main characters in these sketches just want to watch the world burn. Is Russell one of those people? Or is the act of causing destruction, getting overly personal, and hyperarticulating the phrase “chode jeans” the only way he knows how to fit in? Who can say. (Also, the sound of the guy’s head hitting the office wall is absolutely horrifying.)

27. “Tammy Craps”

Alternate Title: “Dolls Without [Expletive] in Their Heads”

Guest Stars: “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” breakout star Julia Butters

Laugh Line: “You gotta get outta here, little girl.”

Maybe You Forgot: Eagle-eyed redditors noticed that the girls in the Tammy Craps sketch were clearly not saying “farts” in the ad, with some pretty obvious dubbing over the word “shit.” Which somehow makes the new and improved doll that craps herself and then lies about it even funnier.

26. “Claire’s”

Alternate Title: “JibJab Video”

Laugh Line: “Sometimes I put my dad in a JibJab video so he’s alive again. I showed it to my mom. She said, ‘Where is he?’ I go, ‘Mom, it’s not real. It’s a JibJab.”

Maybe You Forgot: Ron Tussbler’s final monologue about laughing hysterically at nothing in empty rooms, so that when his life flashes before his eyes when he dies he’s able to trick himself.

25. “Ghosts of Christmas Way Future”

Alternate Title: “The Night Scrooge Saved Christmas”

Guest Star: Sam Richardson

Laugh Line: “That’s good bone-crushin’!”

Maybe You Forgot… this is actually a two-part sketch, which starts at the top of Episode 4 when Sam Richardson’s “Edge of Tomorrow” character says “there’s only one man who can save us now.” Then the title card hits and the “Herbie Hancock” sketch plays out in full, before we circle back to the bone-crushin’. To better emphasize Sam’s surprise reappearance, there’s even a shift in format: whereas we meet Sam’s skeleton-fighting warrior in high-res widescreen, the “classic” Scrooge story is shot in grainy 4:3.

24. “Driver’s Ed”

Alternate Title: “Tables”

Guest Star: Patti Harrison

Laugh Line: “What is her job?”
“Tables!”

Maybe You Forgot… that we do find out what Carrie’s job is! So in the first video, we learn that “Carrie” (played by Patti Harrison) is loading tables into her minivan, and she’s really upset that “Eddie Munster” dirtied up one of them. “It’s filthy,” she cries, before calling up her client to complain about losing out on her “livelihood” (aka the tables).

The easiest answer to the lingering question, “What’s her job?” (asked by a persistent student) is simple: She rents tables. How that “pays for [her] house” is a reasonable if inexplicable follow-up, but hey — maybe the table market is really strong where she lives. After all, if George is gonna razz her about learning to treat “talent” the right way, that likely means there are a lot of “Comic-Cons and Horror-Cons” going on — otherwise, she wouldn’t have to worry about Freddy Krueger’s hurt feelings. It sounds like he’s a repeat client. So he’s gonna need those tables again.

23. “Funeral Organ”

Alternate Title: “His Own, Much Larger Organ”

Guest Stars: The One and Only Fred Willard 

Laugh Line: “My condolences.”

Maybe You Forgot: It wasn’t Willard’s last screen appearance, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a better swan song punchline than this: playing an organ player enthusiastically shouting “2, 3, 4!” before twirling knobs, pulling levers, and smashing plates at a wake filled with unsuspecting mourners. As a performer, the guy always held his own as a captain navigating any joke through choppy waters. That he delivers all of his lines here with the same placid tone amid all the noise, antics, and chaos is a filling tribute. He layeth on high, indeed.

22. “You Can’t Skip Lunch”

Alternate Title: “Hot Dog Sleeve”

Guest Stars: Whitmer Thomas, Sisa Grey, Eugene Samuel Kim

Laugh Line: “I don’t know if you’re allowed to do that.”

Maybe You Forgot… this is the first sketch of Season 2, and much like the first sketch of the first episode of the first season (“Pulling the Door Open”), “You Can’t Skip Lunch” serves as an excellent thesis statement on what’s about to come. 

21. “Detective Crashmore” (Trailer)

Alternate Title: “Detective Crashmore, Part One”

Guest Stars: Biff Wiff as the titular Detective Crashmore.

Laugh Line: “You fucking suck!”

Maybe You Forgot: The Detective Crashmore saga is stronger taken as a whole than in individual pieces, but despite what other IW staffers might tell you, the trailer is the better of the two. While the sketch lives and dies on the late-breaking reveal, the trailer up to that point is full of classic “ITYSL” humor, which is to say that Crashmore’s lines are so odd and strangely put together. While Wiff isn’t quite as adept at delivering on the humor as Robinson has proven himself to be time and time again, he easily plays the part of a celebrity hoping to expand their resume.

20. “Pulling the Door Open”

Alternate Title: “Both Ways”

Laugh Line: “I was here yesterday, and it actually goes both ways.”

Maybe You Forgot… this is the sketch that started it all, the first sketch of the first episode of the first season of “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson”; a perfect representation of the show, for better or best.

19. “Diner Wink”

Alternate Title: “Classic Cars”

Guest Star: Bob Odenkirk

Laugh Line: “But she’s beautiful, but she’s dying.”

Maybe You Forgot… triples makes it safe. Triples is best.

18. “Scott Loves His Wife”

Alternate Title: “Poker Night” (or “Jamie Taco”)

Guest Stars: Paul Walter Hauser

Laugh Line: “Your husband is a henchman.”

Maybe You Forgot: OK, so maybe that line isn’t funny. And maybe there aren’t as many jokes in here as its length would suggest. But for all the talk about how “I Think You Should Leave” is filled with irredeemable agents of pure chaos, it’s a genuine achievement that the series can also include a sincere sketch-length ode to Wife Guys and community theater. It’s just magical.

17. “Fully Loaded Nachos”

Alternate Title: “First Date”

Laugh Line: “…what?”

Maybe You Forgot… how well Richardson sells the bit, not only to the audience, but to his character’s nacho-hoarding date. As she confronts him about talking to the waiter, and the waiter confirms what happened, Robinson leans harder and harder into feigned confusion. It’s a great performance, and one of his softer, non-screaming turns.

16. “Fenton’s Horse Ranch”

Alternate Title: “Hung Like a Horse”

Laugh Line: “Where the horses are hung like you!”

Maybe You Forgot… that “Shortstack” was the first horse at Fenton’s Ranch to have a five-inch penis… before he jumped off a cliff.

15. “Detective Crashmore” (Junket)

Alternate Title: “Cosmic Gumbo”

Laugh Line: “To see if they got tattoos. If they do, they get no gift.”

Maybe You Forgot… that this was all for AOL Blast, a junket outlet so specific it doesn’t matter that it actually doesn’t exist. Biff Wiff, the legend. 

14. “Dan Flashes”

Alternate Title: “It Costs More Because of the Patterns”

Laugh Line: “Shut up Doug or I’ll eat her whole fucking head!”

Maybe You Forgot… the more the lines crisscross and the patterns overlap, the higher valuation Dan Flashes gives their shirts. One shirt is so complicated it costs $2000.

13. “Baby Cries”

Alternate Title: “Sloppy Steaks”

Laugh Line: “What are sloppy steaks?”

Maybe You Forgot… people can change. After all, just this past weekend, my best friend handed me his four-month old son, and the Wee Baby Seamus started crying. He was right. I used to be a piece of shit. White bathing suit? Check. Slicked back hair? You bet. Sloppy steaks? Come on, I was 25!

But now, my swimsuit is aqua marine, I push back my hair, and damn it, if steaks don’t just taste better well done. So wouldn’t you know it? After we got a good look at each other, Seamus smiled at me. He knew. I used to be a piece of shit. But I’m not anymore.

12. “Little Buff Boys” (Competition)

Alternate Title: “Oversized Water Bottle”

Guest Stars: Sam Richardson, Brooks Whelan

Laugh Lines: “What a crop! That’s a crop!”
“Goose suit! It’s an old circus term!”
“No, no. Not Troll Boy. It’s not going to be Troll Boy. We’re not doing Troll Boy. I mean, you get that right, Troll Boy? You get why it can’t be you? Yeah, see? OK. It can’t be him. This can’t be Troll Boy.”

Maybe You Forgot: Sam Richardson is the funniest person on the planet, and this spiritual successor to Season 1’s “Baby of The Year” sketch serves as further evidence.

11. “Parking Lot”

Alternate Title: “Road Rage”

Laugh Line: “No, I don’t know how to fucking drive, I don’t know what any of this shit is, and I’m fucking scared.”

Maybe You Forgot: One popular warning used to deter road rage involves reminding people that their bad behavior could cost them. “What if you get to where you’re going and it’s a job interview, and I turn out to be the boss?”

While acknowleding that idea mid-sketch, what “Parking Lot” presupposes is that your worst assumptions are true: that the other driver you just cussed out is incompetent, that they can’t drive, and that they don’t know what they’re doing.

Does that make your anger… better? Excusable? The right reaction? No, it doesn’t. All it does is turn you into an asshole who’s yelling at a scared, crying human being who was just trying to safely operate their van. Honking doesn’t help, it only makes them more upset. Just be respectful. Practice a little patience. And if he screams when he grabs the steering wheel, believe him when he says “It hurt!”

10. “Dan Vega’s Mega Money Quiz”

Alternate Title: “Chunky”

Guest Stars: Andy Samberg 

Laugh Line: “Figure out what you do!! You had alllllll summer to think of it.”

Maybe You Forgot: Finding a new angle on the fake-game-show sketch is not an easy task. So rather than  choosing to just focus on the manic energy of the host, zero in on an odd detail of the show itself, or lean into the anxieties of the contestants, this does all three with absolute glee. The questions are inane (half of them aren’t even questions), the space on the board the contestants pick is never the actual square that gets revealed, the “Press Your Luck” animated version of Chunky is just lifeless enough to make an impression of its own. Is this game show set in a portal to Hell? Are these four people stuck in purgatory, doomed to wear terrible hats, not talk, have their choices ignored, and live perilously on the edge of popping a forehead vein? No laptop is safe.

9. “Insider Trading”

Alternate Title: “Brian’s Hat”

Laugh Line: “And then I swear to fucking God, he tried to roll the hat down his arm like Fred Astaire.”

Maybe You Forgot: Everything about this sketch makes me laugh. The narration of the flashbacks. Robinson’s background reactions. The escalation of the scene in the meeting. The fact that it features a Season 2 hallmark: Robinson crying. Very divisive at IW HQ, with some voters (correctly) declaring it their new favorite overall sketch.

8. “Professor Dinner”

Alternate Title: “I’m Just Joking!”

Laugh Line: [the way he hesitates right before tossing the last bite of the burger into his mouth]

Maybe You Forgot: It’s not so much forgetting as it is giving credit where it’s eternally due. Behold the comic wizardry of Bob McDuff Wilson, who elevates this from an amusing premise to a deranged spectacle of singularly focused restaurant behavior. We’ve all had this thought at one point. To see someone commit to it so fully and unreservedly makes for an absolute symphony to behold. 

7. “Has This Ever Happened to You?”

Alternate Title: “Just for Farts Toilet”

Laugh Line: “It’s Turbo Time!” (and, of course, “You’re not part of the Turbo Team!”)

Maybe You Forgot… that Home Depot sells “joke hole just for farts toilets” (which are the actual words listed on the receipt left behind by the prankster termite exterminators).

6. “Prank Show”

Alternate Title: “Karl Havoc”

Guest Stars: “SNL” writer Gary Richardson as Craig

Laugh Line: “What’s that do for the greater good?”

Maybe You Forgot: Just the third sketch of the second season, “Prank Show” is the first to truly delve into the central conceit of the season: “What if this absurdist hilarity was also really fucking sad?” Never has existential despair been so funny. 

5. “Coffin Flop”

Alternate Title: “Corncob TV”

Guest Stars: None, unless you count the various stunt people like LJ LaVecchia tasked with busting out of shit wood and hitting pavement. 

Laugh Line: Nearly every line both in composition and delivery is a stone cold classic, but “We’re allowed to show ‘em nude ‘cause they ain’t got no soul” likely takes the cake.

Maybe You Forgot: There’s now an unofficial Change.org petition to keep Corncob TV on Spectrum. I guess it’s your move, Spectrum. 

4. “Wienermobile”

Alternate Title: “Brooks Brothers”

Guest Star: Zach Kanin

Laugh Line: “Or we could work as a team, find out whoever did this, and punish him ourselves. Maybe take his bare butt out of his costume and spank him.”

Maybe You Forgot… the beauty of the hot dog car sketch is the escalation of humor, all hitting on different notes and ultimately striking a glorious chord of hilarity. And while scads of internet ink could be spilled about Tim Robinson’s antics as Hot Dog Man, one of the most delightful bits of humor in the sketch comes from HDM claiming innocence by pointing out that another man appears to also be dressed as a hot dog. That unfortunately-outfitted man, dismayed by the accusation, is actually “I Think You Should Leave’s” own co-creator Zach Kanin, who appears to be the show’s go-to for a sensible schlub destined to become the butt of a joke. (See also: the very next sketch on this list.)

3. “Focus Group”

Alternate Title: “You Flinched!”

Guest Stars: Ruben Rabasa and Zach Kanin

Laugh Line: “No space for the mother-in-law,” “I’m doing the best at this,” “Who is the most popular now, Paul?” and “Stinky!”

Maybe You Forgot… you… have… no… good… car… ideas.

2. “Baby of the Year”

Alternate Title: “Another Chode”

Guest Star: Sam Richardson

Laugh Line: “I hope you fucking die, Harley Jarvis!”

Maybe You Forgot… they don’t stay babies forever, you idiot (and In Memoriams typically don’t include how they died).

Fun Fact: Three of the four authors behind this list all chose “Baby of the Year” as the series’ No. 1 sketch, but one dissenting vote kept it out of the top spot. Votes will remain anonymous, so you’ll have to blame the math, not Libby Hill, for this ranking.

1. “The Bones Are Their Money”

Alternate Title: “The Day That Robert Palins Murdered Me”; “The Night the Skeletons Came to Life”

Laugh Line: [all]

Maybe You Forgot: Listen, it’s not that “Baby of the Year” isn’t an amazing sketch. Sam Richardson is a goddamn national treasure and everyone knows it; his commitment to keeping lil Bart Harley Jarvis from being unceremoniously murdered by any number of adults is admirable. But this show is called “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson,” and this is the sketch that best captures Robinson’s manic energy, oddly guileless nature, and incomparable ability to make it seem like every line he utters is improvised. It’s been more than a year, but the song still inspires uproarious laughter whenever I watch it. I suspect I’m not alone. – Libby Hill
