As of season three, there are 88 sketches in I Think You Should Leave.

All of them are patently absurd.

But there's one theme in this show that they've been doing more

and more with each season that makes it hit like no other.

For context, in most of these sketches,

there's one person who is clearly in the wrong.

Oh!

Looks like you pushed.

It does both.

I was here yesterday.

It actually goes both ways.

but puts forth a Herculean effort in refusing to admit it,

making everyone else uncomfortable and probably wanting to tell them the name of the show.

So that's the foundation of the show,

but these premises often come with twists, too.

If you love it as much as you say you do,

then it shouldn't be a problem if I take the receipt back.

Sometimes, one person appears to be the asshole,

but instead of calling them out for it,

Everyone else suddenly and unanimously takes their side and turns the tables on someone else.

And I genuinely like the gifts.

Swear to fucking God?

Yes!

Then let my wife eat the fucking receipt.

Sometimes the in-universe characters recognize the absurdity of the events taking place as completely dysfunctional and they abandon it.

Somebody get her!

She's trying to get Jarvis!

Alright, you know what?

This was dumb.

Dump it.

Haven't been to the board in a long time.

Yeah, I know, Colleen.

This show's gonna suck.

That's, yeah, that's a good idea.

Dump it.

And sometimes, despite how much of a nuisance a character seems to be,

we get a genuine moment of emotion that reminds us that they're human too,

and that maybe all they need is just a little validation.

These sketches, the ones that,

amidst all the silly bullshit,

manage to fuck around and make a point,

is hidden in a way that no other sketches do.

They satisfy the absurdity that I crave in this type of comedy,

yet rather than landing at an equally chaotic or disoriented place,

were instead landing at a heartfelt sentiment like, you're valid.

Everything's gonna be okay.

This change is something that I find absolutely fascinating,

and we're gonna call this sentimental absurdism.

You can all thank this commenter from one of my previous videos for making this observation

and inspiring the idea for this video.

I mentioned that they've been doing this more with each season.

Well, of the 88 sketches,

I count two of this theme in season one,

five in season two, and eight in season three.

So it's grown from what was once just a small sliver

of the show to now almost becoming a main theme of it,

and I'm kind of obsessed.

So let's break this down by starting with its most simple

and subtle examples and gradually work towards the most extravagant and outstanding ones.

Level 1.

An Honest Sentiment.

To start, there's the sketches that are mostly absurd that sneak in just a little honest sentiment.

The copier jokes with Patty Harrison is a good example of this.

Upon hearing a co-worker make a Christmas joke,

a woman chimes in with a view of her own.

Yep, I guess Christmas came early this year.

Yeah, Santa should have wrapped it.

What?

The printer.

Santa should have wrapped it when he gave it early.

Oh.

Each with the painfully confused delivery that causes it to fall flat.

Yeah, I know, and Santa and all his elves must have worked so hard on it,

and then they gave it to us early.

It's a very nice printer, Tracy.

She's taking on the role in this sketch that Tim Robinson usually does,

an awkward attention seeker who's trying too hard and making everyone uncomfortable.

And it's enjoyable because of Patty's expert performance.

It was just an expression.

I know that!

I'm not stupid!

I'm smarter than you!

I'm not popular at all!

The cherry on top, though,

is when her ego is in shambles,

but she musters the spirit to yell one final quip at Tim's character...

Oh!

Looks like Christmas came early!

Then I brought it early!

...who casually chuckles and goes along with it.

I guess he did.

Good one.

And that was all she needed.

Like damn, for a second there,

that stupid bullshit just made me feel something.

Patty plays a similar role in another office in season 3,

where one might be quick to thank her the weird one for keeping a baby rat in her drawer.

It's so easy for me just to open the desk drawer,

they're in there, I take the food,

100

I put it on the desk,

101

and then I knock it in.

102

No one knows what I'm doing,

103

no one knows I have rats in there.

104

In an unexpected twist, the boss actually hears her out,

105

apologizes to her, and reminds her of how valued she is at the company.

106

Maybe I'm a little bit hard on you because I see you rising at this place,

107

and I could see you helping to manage it one day.

108

How wholesome is that?

109

Once again, being heard and accepted was all it took to bring out this incredible moment of relief.

110

Tonight we go wild on...

111

These aren't the only two like this,

112

but you get the basic idea.

113

Level 2, quitting for the right reasons.

114

The sentiments get a little more prominent from here.

115

Take Carl Havoc, a guy who was way too excited to do a prank show at the mall.

116

Carl kind of messes with their day,

117

takes their lunch tray, steals a fry off their plate.

118

An excitement that is completely obliterated not two minutes into actually doing it.

119

You see that guy over there?

120

Why don't you go over and take his tray?

121

Carmine.

122

There's too much fucking shit on me.

123

What?

124

There's too much fucking shit on me, I can't breathe.

125

Take a deep breath.

126

I can't!

127

While he's imploding in front of everyone,

128

going back and forth with its crew about how unbearable it is.

129

I'm gonna rip the fucking head off!

130

Do not rip the head off, Carmine.

131

I'm telling you that I am!

132

He takes a pause and things get real.

133

I don't even want to be around anymore.

134

What?

135

You're saying you don't want to live because you're wearing that suit?

136

Yeah.

137

A realization so sobering that the director is taken aback and decides...

138

Okay, yeah, let's scrap it.

139

Yeah, let's scrap it.

140

Yeah, dude, if that's really how you're feeling, then let's scrap it.

141

Like, damn, no one wants you to die over this.

142

Then what's the show?

143

God damn it!

144

A similar sentiment is conveyed in the final sketch of season 3 featuring Connor O'Malley,

145

a frequent collaborator of the show with some sentimental absurdism in his own content as well.

146

The positivity force, a billion person army deciding to jerk off like they just got divorced.

147

In this sketch, Connor's character commits to making a new video every week,

148

something more people than ever will literally do nowadays.

149

As a video creator myself,

150

it hit close to home watching him get way too worked up over what is ultimately just a silly little video.

151

I am so worried about this video.

152

But even upon completing a video,

153

he's flooded with comments from people saying he pays people in fast food.

154

I just think I paid her in his Santa Fe chicken sandwich.

155

Why are they saying you paid her in fast food?

156

Why would they say that?

157

Cuz I did!

158

And that everyone hates him so much for it,

159

they want to kill his parents.

160

You see everybody online saying they want to kill my parents?

161

Yeah, I saw that, I saw that.

162

Apparently they're saying they're gonna cut my dad's head off.

163

Jesus.

164

Just as he's spiraling out of control,

165

we get a refreshing ending where he actually gives up his weekly video commitment for all the right reasons.

166

I gave away Tasty Time vids.

167

Did it for my dad.

168

No one's ever getting this head.

169

No one's ever cutting off my daddy's head.

170

I love my daddy.

171

I love his head.

172

Me and Papa.

173

How old is your dad like this?

174

Level 3, Realizing Horror.

175

Moving on, the sentiments get deeper and darker.

176

The Claire's ear-piercing sketch, for example, is a wild ride.

177

What starts as a joke on the nervous adult in contrast to the fearless kid,

178

both waiting to get their ears pierced,

179

I know all this already.

180

I'm not nervous at all.

181

You have to finish the video if you want to get your ear pierced.

182

Fine, alright, then go.

183

Get out of here already.

184

Turns into a real trip when this motherfucker gets on screen

185

and progressively spills more and more about his life beyond just ear piercings in his interview.

186

I really wanted an earring for Florida,

187

But I was nervous to the point of diarrhea.

188

I think I was just a little scared I was gonna die on the slab.

189

Like my dad.

190

He starts out pretty normal until they just keep letting him yap,

191

slipping in some real paradigm-shifting thoughts.

192

It's just hard to see the people who cared for you as a baby become a baby themselves.

193

Why did the Clare's team leave this in?

194

It starts to take an uplifting turn for a moment,

195

reflected in the sudden calming of the adult man in the waiting room,

196

now transfixed on this man's speech.

197

If it's true that when you die,

198

you get to go back through your life and relive all the moments,

199

then I want some moments in there where I'm just dying laughing!

200

Until somehow we end up over here...

201

I'm sitting in an empty room,

202

laughing my ass off to trick my dead self.

203

I had a great life!

204

WHAT?!

205

And of course, while we're realizing horror and dread,

206

there's one of the best sketches of season three in the whole show,

207

the Darmine Doggy Door.

208

We've seen lots of sketches in the show prior to this

209

that are some sort of infomercial for a shitty product or service that never should have been greenlit in the first place.

210

But none of them are packed with so many unironically profound sentiments as this one.

211

What starts as an ad for a doggy door becomes a

212

story of how the salesman thought he was gonna get eaten when something broke in through his old doggy door,

213

and then continues spiraling as his thought of getting eaten actually gives him a sense of relief.

214

When you think you're gonna get eaten and your first thought is, Great!

215

I don't have to go to work tomorrow.

216

You're relieved you don't have to go to work because you thought you were gonna get eaten?

217

A commentary that's just as real as it is absurd.

218

Realizing that fantasizing about being dead is relieving the obligation of modern life makes you question,

219

What the fuck is this world?

220

What have they done to us?

221

What did they do to us?

222

I agree!

223

I freak out about this stuff all the time.

224

Now we're watching this salesman have an existential crisis about how much he hates his job while he's on the job.

225

My life is nothing I thought it should be

226

and everything I was worried it would become because for 50 seconds I thought there was monsters on the world.

227

You can't tell me that as in high art.

228

Level 4, Deepest Inner Desires.

229

Moving on to another one of the best sketches in the

230

show for our second to last subcategory is The Stranger at the Diner or The Ice Cream Store Lie.

231

This is one of those rare sketches where Tim plays the straight man.

232

What starts is a guy looping a stranger into his ploy to convince his daughter

233

that they have to go home instead of getting ice cream,

234

with a smile and a wink.

235

The stranger goes along with it.

236

When the temperature drops, the ice cream machines freeze up.

237

But then he keeps participating in the fantasy.

238

And I own every kind of classic car.

239

What's that?

240

Ah, classic cars.

241

I own every kind of a classic car, because I'm rich, right?

242

Realizing that he has the power to rewrite the story of his life in this moment,

243

His imagination cannot help but realize everything he's ever wanted.

244

Actually, I have triples of the barracuda.

245

I have triples, right?

246

If I don't have triples,

247

then the other stuff's not true.

248

He has triples of the barracuda.

249

He just keeps going and going and going off the rails and inadvertently revealing his insecurities and yearning for a partner.

250

It's just me and the open road.

251

I go for days and days all alone.

252

Just, but I do, I have a wife.

253

Which forces Tim to just keep lying like he's in too deep now.

254

He has to go with it.

255

You know I have a wife.

256

Tell her about my wife.

257

Yeah.

258

She's good, right?

259

The sketch hits so hard,

260

not just because it's funny,

261

but because it's so real.

262

And I'm rich.

263

He's rich.

264

I don't live in a hotel.

265

My friend doesn't live in a hotel.

266

We've got a good wife.

267

We've got a wife.

268

And I really think that Bob Odenkirk's performance is quite literally perfect.

269

He couldn't have delivered any line better than he does.

270

She's sick, but she's hanging in there.

271

Tell her.

272

You know.

273

Tell the kid.

274

If that sketch ultimately revealed that guy's deepest inner desires of love,

275

then the driving crooner ultimately reveals one's deepest desires about career.

276

A co-worker is so kind as to offer a ride home to a friend who's unfit to drive,

277

but without mentioning anything to them about the fact that they're riding with the driving crooner.

278

The hat and the cigar!

279

You're driving with the driving crooner, baby!

280

That'll travel.

281

Fuck!

282

Fuck!

283

Fuck!

284

They're trying to make him look fake!

285

A concept which is humorous when it works,

286

but admittedly hard to pull off.

287

You gotta be right next to me for it to look real.

288

You gotta be right next to me!

289

Adding to the stress is the fact that people hate him for doing this.

290

He has sworn enemies and frat boys who find him in traffic and threaten to murder him.

291

Go, no!

292

What?

293

Frat boys, they're gonna try and run us off the road.

294

What?

295

I'm gonna fucking kill you, driving crooner!

296

Why would someone do such a thing?

297

Why go through all the trouble of putting on the charade

298

if it's close to impossible to achieve and people want you dead for it?

299

Especially because this is a side hustle he wants to turn into his main hustle.

300

I gotta figure out how to make money out of this thing,

301

it's simply too good.

302

What the fuck is this business model?

303

Why would you do this?

304

Cause this is the American dream.

305

This is his passion, his purpose,

306

his big idea that's gonna change everything.

307

And I know you have a driving crooner and you too.

308

No matter how stupid your backstory sounds to other people.

309

When I was a kid,

310

I fell into a river and a fish bumped me out of the water.

311

I was supposed to die,

312

but a fish bumped me out with its nose.

313

No matter how silly your idea looks to them,

314

no matter how hard it is to make that unique thing

315

that you love doing and figure out how to make money on it,

316

That was the earth telling me I was supposed to do something great.

317

And I know that's the driving crooner, it has to be!

318

You can do it and you should do it.

319

Be like the driving crooner and never give up.

320

Level 5.

321

You would think they're insane.

322

And finally, we have the sketches I think have the most prominent amounts of sentimental scenes in them.

323

In these sketches, the characters in question are behaving so weird,

324

you guessed it, you would think they're insane.

325

An insecure man at a party.

326

Insecure man!

327

Who gets offended when a baby starts crying when it's his turn to hold it.

328

Of course he cries when I hold it.

329

Something one could easily laugh off,

330

but he gets stuck on it.

331

A co-worker who thought a loud noise of the office was a volcano erupting.

332

Whoa, what was that?

333

Oh, it makes a really loud sound when the air goes on.

334

I thought it was thunder.

335

I thought it was like a truck backing into the building.

336

I thought it was like a volcano erupting.

337

What the hell?

338

Everyone makes fun of him for it.

339

Someone jokes, I wish I could live in that guy's brain.

340

That seems to really affect him.

341

A member of a live studio performance responsible for a laugh track recording is fixated on not laughing

342

but sharing stories of bad experiences he's had with a couple of businesses.

343

You know she still writes me from jail?

344

TK Jewelers is a scam.

345

Watch exploded on date.

346

Taken it too personally, the baby holder projects his insecurity

347

that the baby was crying specifically because it knows he used to be a huge piece of shit.

348

Probably just doesn't like me because I used to be a piece of shit.

349

Baby cried because it knows I used to be a piece of shit?

350

Did you used to be a piece of shit?

351

Oh, yeah.

352

Two determined he's not weird for thinking it was a volcano,

353

and likely disturbed by the way it was made out to be the oddball of the group,

354

the employee keeps sharing the things he's seeing with his coworker until she gets in trouble for it.

355

I thought this was a little pimp.

356

The highlighter?

357

I thought it was a little pimp walking all around.

358

Shhh.

359

Two focused on himself and oblivious to the world around him,

360

The Laugh Track participant relentlessly continues on with complaints about his bad experiences with a watch company and a limo company.

361

L&L limos is a scam.

362

He hugged my date.

363

As if dropping bad yelf reviews on the Laugh Track will get the message out and serve them justice.

364

He keeps doing this, which forces the crew to put a halt to the production.

365

And in each of these cases,

366

you would think he's insane.

367

But that's precisely where the show takes an unexpectedly satisfying turn.

368

It's revealed that in fact the baby can tell he used to be a huge piece of shit.

369

It peers into his soul and sees him for who he really was before and accepts him for who he is now.

370

And in a beautiful moment of connection,

371

the employee offers his hand to his coworker and shares with her what he can see.

372

And he wasn't lying, he did see a volcano and a little pimp.

373

And the asshole disrupting the live performance,

374

wasting dozens of people's time and probably thousands of dollars just

375

so he could rant about how these two companies ruined his date.

376

A lot of these places,

377

they try and rip off people like me.

378

People who are looking for love.

379

Well in a bizarre twist of fate,

380

the director hears his stories,

381

reflects on how it makes him feel,

382

and ultimately decides, Well I guess we could leave some of it in if it will help some people.

383

Yeah, right, little goes a long way.

384

And that's all that he needed.

385

He finally gets his catharsis about his date,

386

because his watch did explode there was a hand with the Super Bowl ring infiltrating his limo,

387

and the limo driver did hug his date.

388

These are somehow simultaneously some of the most absurd and emotionally moving sketches that I've ever seen,

389

and that's something you can't get anywhere else,

390

and that's how I think you should leave is changing comedy.

391

Thank you.
