Television I Think You Should Leave w/ Tim Robinson

[Solius]

Didn't see a thread for this.

One of those shows I am completely certain people will think is shite and not get it but it's just so surreal in a good way for me

I don't think there has been a single sketch where I've been able to tell the direction it will go when it starts.

Also spawned the classic "We're all trying to find the guy who did this" meme and many others.

It is the greatest show ever. Everyone I know hates it.

 

[Salt Bailly]

It's hit and miss, but when it hits it's hilarious.

Still need to catch up with S2.

 

[TheMagicFoolBus]

Think I've laughed harder at this show than at just about anything I've ever watched. Absolute goldmine.

I genuinely misread the title as tommy Robinson and thought the title was some horrific documentary

I meant to make this thread the other day. We’ve watched all of them and have been in literal tears at some of the sketches and then obviously there’s some that fail a bit.

I find the sketches that he isn’t in are generally the least funny and you sometimes get a couple of those in a row and sit there feeling a bit flat. Then the next sketch starts and you see him there and you just can’t help but laugh before he’s even started. He’s just somehow hilarious.

I was talking to a friend at the weekend and this came up and I was like “You should try it… I can’t guarantee you will like it, in fact you might think it’s a bit shit. Some of it is absolutely hilarious though, but I can’t guarantee you will get it because it’s a bit weird, so I can’t really recommend it but it’s actually really really funny at times so I really do recommend it. But when you’re watching it if you think it’s a bit shit just forget I recommended it please. But I definitely recommend giving it a try. I think.”

Yep essentially what my OP was

That is terrible.

I've not watched a show with such changes in quality. One minute it's funny (not the funniest thing I've ever seen, but funny enough), but then at other times it can be unwatchably bad.

 

[Pexbo]

Can’t believe you recommended this @Solius

 

[BD]

Actually, I watched a few more. It's just shite

 

[DOTA]

So, so much of it shouldn't have made it to filming let alone the edit but some of it's brilliant.

 

[Massive Spanner]

The tugging shirt bit had me in stitches.

 

[Smores]

Yeah it's very hit and miss. Having watched and enjoyed Detroiters it feels a bit odd to see him/them in this format.

Aunty Donna's Big Ol House of Fun is a better weird funny show. It takes watching enough of them to gain Stockholm syndrome though

I love pud.

I can’t believe the thread went exactly how I thought it would.

Still my favourite. Think it might be the very first sketch too? S01E01

It is. Such a strong start

Halfway through season 2 and I think it's a definite improvement so far. The professor sketch in ep 2 (I think) was the only one I thought might end on a duff note but the punchline was brilliant. And Bob Odenkirk is just too good in the diner one.

Brilliant! The surrealist humour in it reminds me of Father Ted in that it will carry a joke way beyond how long it should still be funny and yet somehow works.

 

[Solius]

Hoping Bob Odenkirk is ok.

 

[gza the genius]

I have yet to convince one single person that this show is good despite the constant recommendations. Oh well, I love it.

My best friend and I haven't even bothered trying to get the rest of our group into it, we know it'll be a non-starter. Learnt our lesson when our Tim and Eric recommendation went down like a lead balloon.

Their loss, the uncultured swines.

 

[Flamingo Purple]

Horrible news regarding Bob Odenkirk, just hope it's nothing serious.

Watched both seasons on a coach on Sunday. I watched S1 a while ago, I'd forgotten how great it is.

TURBO TIME!

Exactly the same. thought it would be him telling immigrants they should leave.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Didnt think it was great.

Man I fecking love this show.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

I think they intentionally favor bizarre over funny. There is a level of insanity to this series that makes it genius. Like the Dan Flashes sketch, it’s funny, then weird, then insane. Brilliant.

 

[Pexbo]

Great news. Watched a few episodes again recently and they’re just as funny as I remembered them being first time around.
