I Think You Should Leave Corncob TV
By Joe Lucia on

Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson has been an incredible source of memes during its three seasons, and a Chicago anchor made the next logical step with the show.

On Sunday, WGN’s Josh Frydman tweeted out a two-minute clip of an I Think You Should Leave themed sportscast, slipping numerous references from the show into his calls of Chicago Bears and Cubs highlights.

Check it out, and think of how many more lines Frydman could have slipped in with some more time.

I may have missed a couple, but here are all the references I was able to pick up.

  • Cosmic gumbo/moves to the beat of jazz
  • Corncob TV
  • Coffin Flop
  • Bart Harley Jarvis
  • Gotta make money off this/simply too good
  • Sunday Funday
  • Turbo Team
  • Metalloid Maniac
  • 55 burgers, tacos, etc
  • At that price point, he can hit
  • Gimme dat
  • Truffani’s
  • Worst day at their jobs
  • Fri-day-night
  • I don’t know if you’re allowed…
  • Dangerous nights crew
  • This is fine/don’t worry about it at all
  • Triples are best

By my count, that’s 18 references to I Think You Should Leave in 2:20. Some of them were quite forced, as we usually see with these themed sportscasts, but others worked really well (I actually thought the “Turbo Team” and “he can hit” quotes were great).

Over the years, we’ve seen many themed sportscasts. Adam Lefkoe’s themed sportscasts ten years ago went viral and propelled him to a role with Bleacher Report and eventually a wider role at Warner Bros. Discovery.

All props to Frydman for putting this together. I feel like there hasn’t been much crossover between I Think You Should Leave memes and sports, but there are plenty of opportunities that could be taken advantage of on social media.
