ITYSL is, by its very nature, an exceedingly memeable show. So the screengrabs and GIFs are inherently very funny, no matter how you use them." "The show is so tightly spun with hilarious lines, usually delivered in a super unique way, and the visuals are absurd. Though Perry said that making memes based on I Think You Should Leave - even those that have to tie back to the NBA somehow - feels like breaking the rules. It's an account that somehow mashes up the NBA and I Think You Should Leave in memes that work impossibly well. I corresponded with Ryan Perry, the 39-year-old head of the digital agency Pennant Digital, who is also, importantly, the mad genius behind I Think You Should League Pass (the handle is NBALeave). There were even memes about memes spoiling the show. For me, it's been a nonstop barrage of ITYSL memes. A site to search through screenshots popped up to make meme-ing easier. My favorite ITYSL meme account, I Think You Should League Pass, was firing off NBA /ITYSL posts right away. Being online began spoiling the show for me the very day the new season came out. "You post about it to sort of gain cred online." "It's a particularly online sort of show," Downer said. The show is so much like the best jokes you'll see online that it became a show for the Online.

For lack of a better phrase, it's popular among the terminally online. I Think You Should Leave is also memeable in a way most shows aren't but it's also particularly memeable to a certain crowd. The name of the show is almost a thesis: Much of the humor in the series revolves around people acting unreasonable and detached from the reality in front of them. I Think You Should Leave (ITYSL), if you're unaware, is a truly unhinged, hilarious sketch show helmed by comedian and SNL and Detroiters alum Tim Robinson. I mean, hell, a congresswoman tweeted that meme out. It's knowing a show without knowing a show. So I told my editor, you know the hot dog guy meme? Yeah that's the show.Īnd that's a particularly interesting fact. Let me explain.īeing capital-O Online is a prerequisite to what we do here at Mashable.
