15 Funniest Quotes From I Think You Should Leave (2024)

Throughout three seasons, I Think You Should Leave quotes have become unforgettable. The Tim Robinson sketch show is among Netflix's best comedy series and has developed a devoted following of fans who can exchange entire conversations in exclusive quotes from the show. With its surreal tone and hilarious performances, the show has a way of planting quotes deep within its audience's brain.

While the show can sometimes be hit or miss, the hits truly hit, leaving fans with an arsenal of absurd quotes. Special guest stars, like comedy legends like Tim Heidecker and Bob Odenkirk, can also make a line all the more memorable. These lines are some of the funniest on TV right now, and no one is doing absurd humor quite like I Think You Should Leave and its funniest sketches.

15 "What Have They Done To Us?"

Season 3, Episode 2 - "Darmine Doggy Door"

One of the best sketches from season 3 was the Darmine Doggy Door infomercial, as it perfectly executed the show's tendency to take a standard subject and turn it into an existential nightmare. What starts as an infomercial about a mechanical dog door, turns into a horrific short, and then continues to evolve until Robinson questions the capitalist system that has forced him to go to work every morning.

Robinson's signature yelling is perfectly used when he shouts, "What have they done to us?" questioning how he got to a point in his life where the idea of death relieves him because then he wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow.

14 "Give Me Some Of That"

Season 2, Episode 3 - "I Should've Got That"

I Think You Should Leave does a great job of deconstructing social norms and the way people choose to interact with each other. The season 2 sketch about Professor Yurabay having dinner with some old students focuses on what happens when someone orders the wrong thing at a restaurant. When the Professor asks for a bite of Robinson's burger in the most awkward way possible, "give me some of that," it is one of the most uncomfortable laughs the series has provided.

13 "I Don't Know What Any Of This S#!t Is, And I'm Scared"

Season 2, Episode 5 - "Parking Lot"

Robinson has an almost Seinfeld-level ability to take everyday situations and push them to their logical extreme. In the parking lot sketch, when someone angry asks if he even knows how to drive, Robinson sullenly looks back at him and says no. The idea of a bad driver, not knowing how a car works, is funny enough, but Robinson's delivery really sells the comedy. With the show's oppressive loud humor can sometimes be too much, this is a perfect use of Robinson and his talents.

12 "She's Beautiful But She's Dying"

Season 2, Episode 2 - "Diner Wink"

Bob Odenkirk is one of the best guest stars to feature on I Think You Should Leave. The Mr. Show and Better Call Saul alum fit the tone of the show perfectly, with his sketch about a man who keeps inventing wild lies to two strangers at a diner being one of the best of the entire series. Odenkirk has so many good lines like "triples make it safe," but the best has to be when he talks about his fake wife, who for some reason he insists is sick, but will pull through regardless.

11 "It's Kind Of A Cosmic Gumbo"

Season 2, Episode 3 - "Crashmore - Trailer"

One of the strangest talents of the show is its ability to give each sketch multiple premises and have them make no logical sense, but be hysterical nonetheless. That is the case for Detective Crashmoore, an action movie where the main actor is Santa Claus. While describing the film in promotions, Santa uses several buzzwords and calls the film a "cosmic gumbo." That line alone would be a funny parody of Hollywood marketing, but the fact that it is being said by a seemingly cynical Santa just makes it even more funny.

10 "A Good Steering Wheel That Doesn't Fly Off While You're Driving"

Season 1, Episode 3 - "Focus Group"

Ruben Rabasa has become somewhat of a meme and internet sensation for his role in this I Think You Should Leave sketch. While in a focus group for a new car model, Rabasa insists that they listen to his idea of having "a good steering wheel that doesn't fly off while you're driving." The sketch then goes off into even more wild avenues, including Rabasa claiming that another member of the group is in love with his mother-in-law, adding further to the humor of the scene.

9 "I Don't Even Want To Be Around Anymore"

Season 2, Episode 1 - "Prank Show"

In this parody of prank shows like Punk'd or Jackass, Robinson gets dressed up in heavy prosthetics to look like an old man and pranks teens at a mall. However, once he gets there, he finds it impossible to move, and becomes so frustrated that he claims he doesn't even "want to be around anymore." This sketch is quintessential I Think You Should Leave as it has a blend of social satire and heavy existentialism that becomes so morbid and dark that it's funny.

8 "I'm Just Like The Tiredest I've Ever Been In My Life"

Season 2, Episode 1 - “H.D. Vac Part II”

Despite how ridiculous the show can be, many lines from I Think You Should Leave find their humor in their relatability. When Robinson is forced to skip his lunch break to attend a work meeting, he smuggles in a hot dog and tries to eat it without being noticed. His cover ends up being that he's just too tired to put his head up, remarking, "I'm just like the tiredest I've ever been in my life." It's a feeling most can relate to and the use of "tiredest" is the high point of the comedy here.

7 "There Has To Be A Way To Make Money Out Of This"

Season 3, Episode 1 - "Designated Driver"

No one can play frustrated quite like Tim Robinson, and the season 3 sketch "The Driving Crooner" is a perfect example of that. In a bizarre business move, Robinson tapes a photo of a hat and cigar to the side of his window in the hopes that he can somehow turn a profit from it. This is a ludicrous idea, but the character seems so sure of his idea, and disappointed in the lack of profits. "The Driving Crooner" knows how to use Robinson's yelling to the best comedic effect.

6 "Her Job Is Tables"

Season 2, Episode 6 - "Driver's Ed"

Patti Harrison is one of the MVP regulars on the show, and her stand-out sketch is where she plays a character in a series of driving school educational videos. While the videos are meant to inform kids about driver safety, they can't get over her bizarre job that seems to be driving around with tables for different events. Harrison is hilarious throughout the sketch, as well as the entire show, but the standout moment comes from Robinson yelling "Her job is tables" in a way only he could deliver.

5 "I Fake Laugh Every Day For Ten Minutes"

Season 2, Episode 6 - "Claire's"

In one of the darkest sketches the show has ever done, a young girl takes a trip to Clairs to get her ear pierced, but her safety video includes an old man who also got his ear pierced at Clairs. Instead of giving helpful tips about the piercing he instead goes off about how depressing his life is and how he forces himself to laugh for ten minutes every day, just so when he's looking back at his past in the afterlife, he'll be tricked into thinking he was happy.

It is beyond morbid and almost too sad to be funny, but it walks the line just right to be quite humorous.

4 "I Think There Just Might Be No Rules"

Season 3, Episode 4 - "Children's Choir"

Biff Wiff, the actor who played Santa/Detective Crashmoore, made a triumphant return in season 3 as a man who lets a new pop song change his entire outlook on life. During a school concert, Wiff destroys a classroom because the song tells him there are no rules in life. While this is standard I Think You Should Leave absurdism, it's also a powerful statement on art and outlook on life. Wiff is also fully committed to the bit, as he truly sells the idea of a man whose entire world has been shattered by a basic pop song.

3 "55 Burgers, 55 Fries"

Season 3, Episode 3 - "Drive Thru"

Season 3 had some incredible jokes and lines, but the best is undoubtedly in the drive-through pay-it-forward sketch. In a scam to get as much free food as possible, Tim Robinson starts a pay-it-forward chain at a drive-through, only to get back in line and order "55 burgers, 55 fries" and an obscene amount of other food. While this is a hilarious concept on its own, the signature I Think You Should Leave absurdism and delivery makes this a joke for the ages and one that will be quoted for years to come.

2 "I'm Not Worried About Any Of This!"

Season 2, Episode 1 - "Corncob TV"

The crown jewel of I Think You Should Leave sketches is the CorncobTV infomercial for Coffin Flop, a TV show about dead bodies falling out of coffins during funerals. The shots of bodies falling out of wood are darkly comedic enough on their own, but what makes the sketch so iconic is Robinson's constant insecure screaming that is layered throughout.

His delivery of "I'm not worried about any of this!" would be a highlight of the show on its own but the hard cut to a coffin flop right after makes it one of I Think You Should Leave's most memorable scenes.

1 "I’m Worried That The Baby Thinks People Can’t Change"

Season 2, Episode 2 - "Baby Cries"

What makes I Think You Should Leave stand out among the other sketch shows of its ilk is how it can blend surreal humor with actual meditation on the human condition and societal norms, and the best example of that is when Robinson becomes over-fixated on whether his friend's newborn baby thinks people can change.

In the sketch, Robinson doesn't like the person he used to be and hangs his entire outlook on life on the opinion of an infant. It is fittingly absurd but surprisingly deep just like so many other major moments in the show's run.
