![]() ![]() After the sketch, Sam said the kids in the sketch had no idea what was going on during filming while the director was telling them, “Now stomp around! Walk around!” they weren’t sure if this was an actual Little Buff Boy competition or what. We learned why Sam’s hair looks so weird in that sketch: because there’s a full bald-cap reveal underneath that got cut. What a crop of bull! The longer version allows you to really sit in the discomfort of a Little Buff Boys competition unfolding at a corporate conference. Somewhere out there, a seven-minute version of “Little Buff Boys” wastes away in an external hard drive, robbed from the world. And until they listen to me, here’s a rundown of the sketches you may have missed, who judged them, and what their verdicts were. If this show accomplished anything besides making an appreciative audience laugh and Tim blush, it was making the case for Netflix to add a “bonus features” tab to shows like ITYSL, because these extra sketches and scenes, and the commentary that went with them, would feed fans so well in the interim between seasons. For each sketch, they’d call up a guest judge onstage to rule on whether or not it should have been cut, with Tim looking head-in-his-hands bashful about the ordeal the whole time. But because Robinson and Kanin are the people they are, they couldn’t just play it entirely straight they turned it into a self-effacing competition. I had assumed an I Think You Should Leave show in a festival setting meant sketch comedy, but instead, with some hosting help from Brooks Wheelan, Tim and series co-creator Zach Kanin presented and analyzed seven filmed sketches: four that didn’t make the final cut of the show, and three extended director’s cuts, like the Turbo Team opener. It really gives the gag toilet for farts some context. This time around, they mow his lawn so it looks “like a shaved puss,” throw a disruptive party on his lawn because “beach music is supposed to be loud,” and keep pretending the guy is dead as they stomp all over his home. The show opened with a screening of the “Has This Ever Happened to You?” sketch, only it was a beefed-up cut full of even more ways for the Turbo Team to terrorize the poor guy in the video. When tickets for the show were released back in December, they sold out in something between three and five seconds, depending on which disappointed fan you ask, so everyone in the crowd was either very lucky, very skilled at clicking the second a ticket drops, or very works-at-Netflix. Earlier that day, Netflix announced that it was renewing the show for a third season, so the mood was celebratory in the 150-seat venue, which quickly filled up with fans, at least one of whom I saw wearing “Brian’s hat.” If the streamer is in need of goodwill (and let’s be clear, it is), then holding an event for a series with such a hyper-vocal, super-logged-on fanbase was a smart move. No, they didn’t flop any coffins, and no skeletons came to life either, but buried sketches were exhumed at Hollywood Forever’s Masonic Lodge on May 6 as Tim Robinson and company performed at the Netflix Is a Joke Fest. Obviously I Think You Should Leave held a live show at a cemetery.

It was just a director, a writer, and a producer there when I was doing the bit. I didn't really know who was involved or who was going to be there. "It just happened randomly in the middle of the pandemic. They were like, 'Yeah, let's do it,'" King said. "In the middle of the pandemic, my friend Madison did a music video for this band Johnny, but he asked I Think You Should Leave if they wanted to piggyback on the shoot because they're going to have a ring and they're going to have wrestlers and stuff like that. "Then the pandemic hit and it just kind of went away."įortunately, a coincidence allowed the I Think You Should Leave shoot to get rolling. "I sent videos of me just like, yelling at my phone and they were like, 'Yeah, this is great! Let's do it!'" King said. While the call went well, King had doubts that the appearance would ever come to fruition due to pandemic precautions. Are you interested?' F–k yeah I'm interested!" "I was like, 'Yeah, I love that show!' He's like, 'Well, they want you to do this part. ![]() This was short, probably like a couple months after the first season that I'd watched a million times by then," King said. "I got the call, and they asked if I had ever heard of I Think You Should Leave. King revealed he was a fan of the series before getting cast, which made the initial call all the more exhilarating. ![]()
