I Think You Should Leave. I feel like something is wrong with me. On paper it should be right up my street and two of my closest friends (both of whom I have a near complete overlap with in comedy tastes) are massive fans but I just don’t get it? I get the jokes but I just don’t laugh. I feel like Bart in that episode of The Simpsons where he sells his soul when I watch it.
To me, the skits tend to go on about 10% too long.
The first thing I ever saw of his was a YouTube clip of the faux lawyer advertisement for homeowners that gets increasingly deranged, and the clip cuts short the ending, which tightens up the humor and makes it better.
I like absurdist humor, but there’s an element more than “wow wacky guy in normal situation” that needs to elevate it for me. Some of his skits have it, and some don’t.

I didn’t like it until I watched Detroiters.
