“I Feel Like You’re Just Here For The Zip Line.” The 46 Funniest Jokes From ‘I Think You Should Leave’ Season 3 (2024)

First things first: The third season of I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson premiering on a lousy Tuesday is an actual streaming crime. The audacity. Netflix, this is a Friday show through and through. Get it together.

Season 3 of this modern sketch classic is predictably brilliant. The new episodes are filled with the unconventional humor we’ve grown to love from the series, while once again demonstrating a trenchant, surgical approach to sketch comedy. Seth Meyers recently tweeted his adoration for the new season, praising the show’s “white hot premises” and ability to heighten the comedy with dizzying speed.

“If Comedy Writing 101 is Beat A followed by Beat B and Beat C, Comedy Writing ITYSL is Beat A, Beat J, Beat ZZ,” Meyers wrote. “It still makes logical sense they just don’t have time to show you all of it.”

I Think You Should Leave is at its best when it follows misguided, often unhinged characters who stringently march to the beat of their own weird little drum. They’re right, you’re wrong, and OH MY GOD IS THAT A PIG IN A RICHARD NIXON MASK?! The show grounds wildly bizarre concepts in reality, often imbuing their zany characters with unexpected vulnerability and pathos. Its intelligence is unrivaled, delivering an endless array of weird, wonderful laugh-out-loud moments.
