I Think You Should Leave (with Tim Robinson) - Netflix

Not exactly new at this point, but this was one of my picks from 18 months of lockdown viewing. :) Just finished a rewatch. Really enjoyable, surreal, silly, often incredibly rude sketch comedy. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the episodes are only about 15-18 minutes long and there's only 12 of them, so if everyone could watch them all anyway so Netflix commissions another twelve series for me to watch, that'd be great.

A few highlights:

Driving Safety is very good.

I remember he was on SNL for a short while
I did watch the first episode of this and thought it was pretty good

Yeah, I think he's said a lot of the sketches in this show are stuff that was too weird or awkward for SNL.

You get plenty of former SNL stars popping up for cameos as well. Including a heavily made-up Will Forte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkOguZfNJUo&ab_channel=NetflixIsAJoke

And some people have speculated this sketch is a thinly-veiled comment on his time on SNL not quite working out ("You can't change the rules just cos you don't like how I'm doing it!"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAN0OCagHzQ&ab_channel=NetflixIsAJoke (LOTS of NSFW language in this one).
