I Think You Should Leave is a series of absurd skits that balance making the audience feel uncomfortable and making them laugh. But while it seems ridiculous, the show actually discovers a pretty wide range of human behavior and thinking. This very particular brand of humor is commonly associated with Tim Robinson, which is why he is a part of the Netflix comedy series The Characters. This series, like I Think You Should Leave, is a modern approach to satire.
The entirety of The Charactersreflects on some of the absurd, cliche types of people that exist in modern society. It shines a light on some of the ridiculous realities of our world in a way that points out the humor of the situations. Another familiar feature in its comedy is its ability to set up a joke as being very simple and stupid but, by the end, revealing it has a deeper meaning or a twist.

Many adult skit shows write jokes that deliberately say the message they’re trying to get across. Shows like The Characters, on the other hand, tend to show the situation as it is, in a light that reveals how ridiculous it actually is on its own- without any help. This series uses one primary actor per episode. In other words, in each episode, one actor plays all of the different characters for that episode and there’s a new actor each time. This is much like how Drunk History has a different host to tell the tale of each episode. Although it has only one actor play the main characters in each episode, the whole show still has several big comedians make appearances, either as the star or playing smaller parts. The cast alone speaks to the ability of this series to invoke laughs from the audience.
Of course, Tim Robinson
