Tim Robinson Appreciation

Now go watch I Think You Should Leave on Netflix.

Oh man, so no I Think You Should Leave yet? All 3 shows are fantastic, but ITYSL remains the most quotable for me. You’ve got a treat ahead.

Detroiters was ahead of its time

Also check out his episode of The Characters on Netflix

tim robinson's stuff is one of those things in life where there's like millions of people that love it but no one i know personally but i agree, it's great

Go see friendship. Very similar to the chair company if you liked it.

I think you should leave is my favorite. I don’t want to spoil it but the skit with him and another driver in the parking lot might be my favorite. Caught me completely off guard and I laughed so hard I almost had an asthma attack.

I randomly ran into Tim and his family on a fairly isolated beach in Maui, we were the only 2 families there. This was during the pandemic and right after the first season of ITYSL came out and he became meme famous. Dude was genuinely surprised I recognized him. He was insanely nice and happy about it. I just told him how great I thought the show was and he was just all smiles. Lovely family and genuine guy in real life. I never imagined he would get as popular as he is now.

Watching The Chair Company before ITYSL is wild. Not knowing Tim's style and then seeing TCC must have been a trip. I'm genuinely curious how you felt about TCC while watching it. Watch his movie Friendship with Paul Rudd. Very similar vibes to TCC.

Late to the party on this one

Real ones been with him since B-b-b-b-b-BASKETBALL

You haven't watched I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson yet? Go. Go now. Netflix.

wait'll you learn about Spider League

The big problem with Tim Robinson is that he only seems to be in it for the zipline.

If you enjoy that style of comedy I'd recommend the movie Friendship as well starting him

Tbh I thought I Think You Should Leave was so corny and couldn’t believe the hype. It’s just the same absurd yelling over and over again. There was a sketch or two that I actually liked but I was so disappointed

haha he's...very popular. Kind of on you for not catching it. Also if you haven't seen his sketch show I Think You Should Leave, that is probably peak Robinson at least in terms of his absurdist humor.

The bit in the first episode where he "catches" the janitor using his outdoor wheelbarrow inside is peak Tim Robinson humor for me and I can't even explain why

I was at a goose show last night and I heard someone in line talking about spider League, I felt I was amongst a fellow shirt brother

He also has a few sketches on snl

uhhhhh brother. you got the best waiting for you

Watch the movie Friendship!

Tim Robinson, Nathan Fielder, and by extension, John Wilson, are living on a whole different surreal plane of existence. If I’m not mistaken, the first sketch of the first episode is a job interview that perfectly sums up his style of awkward humor. If you need a few random sketches to YouTube, some internet favs are: zip line, focus group, drive thru, egg man, and coffin flop. Also, some editor friends I’ve worked with did Coffin Flop. It’s so stupid.

I had the same reaction when I first stumbled into his stuff. It feels like you either randomly find it or someone finally puts you onto it. His humor is so specific that it almost catches you off guard at first, then suddenly it just clicks, and everything he does is hilarious.

My wife said something to me about him that ruined his humor for me for a few weeks haha she said “ it’s just toddler humor. The randomness the crazy reactions that don’t make sense. Yelling etc. and it bothered me because I immediately knew she was probably right but, there’s this weird aversion to it because it’s a little anarchic for some people who spend all their time trying to categorize everything and label things to make sense of them and he’s just too weird for most people, they find it disturbing to have fixations on things that don’t matter to the masses. It’s like a non conformity movement and that irritates some people I guess. I think he’s hilarious haha

Watch the movie "Friendship" with him and Paul Rudd

The Detroiters is the best TV around. Somehow cringe and warm comedy? Its insane. I love it so much. The 4th of July ep has me pissing my pants every time.

Detroiters is so underrated, I always recommend it to anyone who likes ITYSL

You should check out the movie Friendship with Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd.

I watched Friendship 4 times in a couple weeks when it was released on streaming.

You can just Google Tim Robinson on YouTube and find gold. The other day i watched some random clips of him riffing with Tim Heideker and it was hilarious.

Hilarious this thread just pops up after I finished watching Friendship. Tim Robinson is just so damn funny, I was in stiches from ITYSL. I got the Chair Company on my list to watch soon...I hope he has many more successful projects in his future.

Yeah his style is really original. Great to see something fresh and unique these days. His film Friendship with Paul Rudd was awesome as well.

He's simply too good

>Why haven’t more people been telling me to seek out his stuff. Why do you need people to hold your hand? Not our fault you are late to the party.

DETROITERS! Sidenote, I had a dream the other night about Detroiters. Sam played Sam. But instead of Tim playing Tim it was Invasion Era Heel Stone Cold Steve Austin as Tim.

I've been a fan of Tim Robinson since the first season of ITYSL dropped. I watched all 3 seasons the day(s) they were released. I learned of Detroiters a few years ago (Oooo Devereaux!!!), binge-watfhed it and enjoyed it. I watched Friendship in theaters; a laugh-roaring family sat behind me and it was one of the best theater experiences I've ever had, and I go to the movies dozens of times a year. The Chair Company is a fever dream in the best way.

I miss detrioters. That farmer zacks jingle is on my playlist.

I wonder what the overlap would be with people who also like Nathan Fielder. As many have said before, they need to do a true detective season together.

His movie Friendship is great too. I love his work.

I’m worried that this poster thinks people can’t change

"First watched The Chair"

Prolly knows i used to be a huge piece of shit

The Chair Company leaned a little too hard on the loud = funny aspect of Tim's comedy imo. But Detroiters and I Think You Should Leave are pretty great absurdist comedies

Just do yourself a favor and do not watch Friendship. Holy c*** was that movie incredibly hard to watch.

Couldn't get into Detroiters but like I think you should leave, the chair company and Friendship (movie). Edit: Made the True Fans™ angry with that one.

I Think You Should Leave is SO funny. You have to be in the right mood but I literally cry laughing watching it

He’s also really good at skateboarding https://youtu.be/gUazN5Fjv9Q?si=aEFWS-qgy5R7kTsp

To this day the subway drug trip sequence in “friendship” maybe the most I’ve ever actually laughed in a theater. His delivery of “I ordered a ham sandwhich” destroyed me.

Detroiters is one of my favorite sitcoms its so good. Sad there's only like 2 seasons but its super rewatchable cause Tim and Sam are such a great duo.

As well as the obvious ITYSL recommendations, I recommend checking out the film Friendship as well. You’d probably also like Connor O’Malleys stuff, his YouTube stuff is phenomenal

Absolutely, his style is both dialed in and is evolving. From /r/TheChairCompany to /r/ITYSL, our whole house cannot get enough.

I don't know if it's still available on Netflix, but one of his earlier projects was an episode of a show called The Characters. Basically each episode was one up and coming comedian doing their own sketch show. Tim Robinson's is the by far the best. I want to say it's episode 7. It might actually be the reason he got to do I Think You Should Leave, or at least it seems convenient timeline-wise in his career.

Sounds like you're due for a nice hot beer

I still like Detroiters the best. For me Detroiters>ITYSL>Chair Company
