The gulf between the best and worst ‘I Think You Should Leave’ sketches is pretty huge, but I can watch my favourite ones over and over for how well constructed they are. I love the slowly building insanity of the laser spine specialists sketch. (“Your family hates you! Only I love you!”)
Yeah I hate having to hook up my PS4 to a capture box to get a screenshot because my only other option is to dafs afsdfas afadsfas
I’m curious how he got that screenshot. In most games you’d just hit the Share button but for this... it clearly has a different function.
Welcome to the internet. It’s basically shit, but every once in a while you see a boob.
This was a lot less fun than I was hoping. Of course the internet isn’t going to let an opportunity to be pedantic go by.

Satire doesn’t need to be subtle, and the way the propaganda aspect is played out is the satirical part of it.
No, that’s Dollar Bill, who was shot in the face at point-blank range when his cape snagged in the revolving door. Read more
I always thought that scene was surely supposed to be funny, but I read so many people complaining about it that I guess it was supposed to be serious? I think it’s the second funniest sex scene ever filmed (next to the Lindsey Lohan sex scene in I Know Who Killed Me).
