1
I Think You Should Leave is one of the fastest growing absurd comedy shows in the early 2020s.
2
Alongside established fan favorites like The Eric Andre Show and Nathan For You,
3
it's successfully designed to be highly quotable and memeable.
4
I have everything on this phone.
5
I always just look at it.
6
If I ever feel weird at all,
7
I'm just looking at it.
8
Season 3 delivers handfuls of new sketches that are enlivening, refreshing, and satisfying.
9
Some of my favorites being,
10
guy who goes on his phone when he's losing an argument.
11
That's exactly the point I made two seconds ago.
12
Fuck!
13
Guy who's only on a dating show to use the zip line.
14
Guy who puts on a VR headset and forgets how to move his body.
15
I don't know how to work the body.
16
It's you.
17
It's you in there.
18
How do we move our bodies ever?
19
What?
20
And you gotta give this kid an award for this line delivery.
21
What'd you do to him?
22
Breathe!
23
Breathe!
24
Dad, fucking breathe!
25
If you were to make a Vines that Cure My Depression style compilation of sketches from this season,
26
you gotta include the Darmine Doggy Door,
27
you gotta put Egg Eater in there,
28
you gotta put Metalloid Maniac.
29
A Metalloid Maniac will zip around the magnetic metal board he built,
30
revealing a piece of a photo of the phrase.
31
But there's one sketch this season that prevails above all,
32
and that's because, all things considered, it's a masterpiece.
33
And that is...
34
What if I said something that wasn't the title thumbnail here?
35
Like, what do you think I'm gonna say?
36
Yeah, it's Shirt Brothers.
37
You know it's Shirt Brothers.
38
This sketch checks all the boxes for me.
39
Concept and execution, quotability, performance or delivery,
40
the message or moral, and emotional impact.
41
These elements shine through in all of the sketches.
42
For example, the idea of starting a pay-it-forward chain,
43
so you pay for the dude behind you in line,
44
and then getting immediately behind that dude,
45
so now he's obligated to pay for your 55 burgers,
46
55 fries, 100 tater shots, 100 pizzas, 100...
47
It's hilarious in concept alone,
48
and the execution is great.
49
I love the implication that people just know that this is a thing that happens,
50
because as soon as the lady behind him finds out what he's doing,
51
she also starts ordering.
52
55 burgers!
53
Ah, shit!
54
The team on this one,
55
and by the way, I do stand with the Writers Guild of America,
56
because we wouldn't have these sketches without the writers,
57
pay them, are absolute masters at dishing out bangers one after the other like a double combo.
58
I'm well within my rights to kill you right now!
59
But don't you love me?
60
Ah!
61
I'm going on a date.
62
The line delivery is a worthy factor in contributing to the live-rent-free in my headedness.
63
You know, what's the difference between what the fuck? and...
64
What the fuck?!
65
What the fuck?!
66
Yeah, it's practicing your craft.
67
I find it very wholesome and enjoyable when the sketches have positive morals despite their unapologetic madness.
68
Like when there's a bit of character development in Guy Who Learns to Stop Talking About His Kids at Parties
69
and actually has a great time.
70
When you start to bring several of these elements together,
71
like the message and the moral of accepting differences and focusing on what really matters,
72
combined with the stellar performance and well-crafted musical climax,
73
you get a powerful emotional impact.
74
Wild on, wild on, tonight we go wild on
75
Why am I so moved by the rat mom who just bought a cup of dog shit like it's a drug deal?
76
So when you bring all these elements together,
77
you get an excellent sketch.
78
But what happens when not only do all the elements of that sketch come together,
79
but when the emotional significance is parallel to real life events?
80
Now if you're sitting there right now like, what?
81
Just wait a sec, this is why this sketch is a masterpiece.
82
Concept and execution.
83
Guy who goes to his daughter's fourth grade fall concert becomes shirt brothers with a stranger Hey,
84
hey shirt brother.
85
Nice to meet you
86
And now has to juggle helping him out of an existential crisis and being there for his daughter solo.
87
Great concept, great execution
88
When his newfound shirt brother pulls him out of the show for some help He explains
89
that he went into one of the classrooms and destroyed the place.
90
Quotability.
91
Are you kidding me?
92
You don't just fucking go nuts in here.
93
I started spinning around going around, going nuts.
94
Line delivery.
95
I tried to rip the Wright brothers off the ceiling, brother.
96
And so you know we've got all these elements going.
97
You know, you've got a great concept,
98
you've got the performance, you've got the quotability.
99
And then you get the message and moral of this sketch.
100
Can you tell me why you really did this?
101
I've been listening to this new song and they're saying there's no rules.
102
Close to the release of season 3,
103
actor Biff Whiff, beloved fan favorite known as Detective Crashmore and Santa Claus in the earlier seasons,
104
revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
105
He says that he has no idea if or when he will recover.
106
And unless the creators of the show or Biff Whiff himself come out and say so,
107
there's no way for sure we can know their exact intentions in writing this sketch
108
and how this moral so closely could align with what someone might be going through in reconciling that they have cancer.
109
You go through life and everything starts to feel really flat.
110
Then you read something or you see something and you wake up, you feel inspired.
111
I think there just might be no rules.
112
Yeah.
113
But whether or not it was intended, it's what shines through.
114
If it's what people see,
115
if it's what people feel, that's real.
116
Tim explains that he needs to get back to the show for his daughter,
117
and his shirt brother makes him promise...
118
Promise me a million times that you will never do another rule.
119
The music builds.
120
We travel around the world every single time we go.
121
His wife is wondering where he is.
122
With time running out, they're forced to settle things.
123
Listen to your daughter's solo.
124
It's too late for me.
125
I'm awake now.
126
Emotional impact.
127
Go on.
128
The song about no rules starts playing.
129
Tim starts running back to the show.
130
The energy on the stage is high.
131
His wife is worried he's not going to make it there in time.
132
Sure brother is pacing in the room.
133
Tim swings in the door just in time.
134
His wife is happy.
135
The kids are in a flow state.
136
His daughter pops off on her solo.
137
The audience roars in applause.
138
Tim lets out a sigh of relief.
139
He's here.
140
His daughter's here.
141
His wife's here.
142
We made it.
143
And there's no rules, he's going nuts!
144
By the way, this song is not on streaming services,
145
at least not yet.
146
This was made by the band Turnstyle,
147
and it appears that it was made for this show.
148
He wrote a sketch that used this song that he built.
149
God.
150
All of these elements coming together in conjunction with knowing about Biff Whiff's real-life cancer diagnosis,
151
leave a viewer not knowing whether they should be laughing or crying.
152
Before the it's not that deep mob comes for me,
153
and if you do choose to comment it's not that deep,
154
thank you for the engagement on this video, I appreciate it.
155
Am I really saying that this sketch,
156
which is about two guys that see that they're wearing the same shirt,
157
are then assumed to be partners in crime,
158
in which one just goes nuts in the classroom for no goddamn reason other than
159
that he heard a new song that said there's no rules.
160
Am I really saying that that was written to have some profound meaning in it?
161
No, not necessarily.
162
But it could be.
163
And what's interesting about that is,
164
is it important what the intention of the author was?
165
Jacob Geller has a really good bit about this,
166
explaining that, Contrary to the frustrated memes of kids in English classes,
167
the curtains never have to be just blue in art.
168
Subtext, metaphor, thematic parallels can be read from everything.
169
You can draw meaning from a plot point or item description,
170
even if the author thought they were just creating some curtains.
171
That is what art does to us.
172
We are storytelling creatures.
173
That's why we project and reflect our own experience through art.
174
Art reflects life.
175
That's why they say that shit.
176
So whether they masterminded the sketch to be this way or is completely serendipitous,
177
it resonates and I love it.
178
It's amazing.
179
So first of all, they need to release that song on streaming services.
180
It's so damn good.
181
And second of all, these moments that build up
182
that kind of climax of absolute silly bullshit with profound emotional sequences are what I live for.
183
Along with the announcement of his cancer diagnosis,
184
Biff Whiff shared a GoFundMe from his Instagram account.
185
the I Think You Should Leave community is rallying their support of our beloved shirt brother.
186
So if you're able to...
187
You gotta get!
188
And if you're unable to,
189
just promise me a million times,
190
you'll never do another rule again.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
