Shooting star meme creator series#
Robinson is nominated for actor in a shortform series, while the show itself is up for outstanding shortform drama, comedy or variety series alongside strange bedfellows The Randy Rainbow Show and digital offerings from late night hosts James Corden ( Carpool Karaoke), Stephen Colbert ( Tooning Out the News) and Seth Meyers ( Corrections).īut shortform, still a relatively young Emmy genre, doesn’t yet have enough Emmy categories to capture the scope of the robust medium. Thanks in part to a typically tight 15-minute running time, it’s vying in the shortform categories in lieu of traditional variety. Despite the show’s relative lack of promotion - Netflix’s massive for-your-consideration effort was spread out over dozens upon dozens of bigger titles, with a platform-best 35 projects ultimately nabbing at least one nomination - I Think You Should Leave, ubiquitous online, quietly earned its first two Emmy noms. The recently renewed series’ status as social media darling might be one of the great unintentional marketing coups this Emmy season. Patti Harrison as Carrie, the beleaguered proprietor of a folding-table rental business. But those viewers who co-opt such moments - Robinson, dressed in a hot-dog costume and claiming ignorance of a hot-dog-shaped car that’s driven into a men’s clothing store is another evergreen hit - use them as a form of shorthand to express rage, frustration and even amusement at current events. Sketches from the first two seasons are often so absurd that they defy concise retelling. Context for the image in question, featuring co-creator and star Tim Robinson, is difficult to explain to those not already familiar with the cult comedy. It’s not really a cry for help, just one of the many moments from Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson that’s been clipped, cropped and captioned by fans on Twitter and Instagram. Doom-scroll long enough, and you’re bound to see it … a man, obscured by a grotesque human-skin suit, offering a despondent stare above his defeated quote: “I don’t even want to be around anymore.”
There have been few (if any) days in 2022 when a piece of devastating news - the ongoing plague, myriad mass shootings, the war abroad and the daily incursion on democracy at home, to name just a few - doesn’t elicit one very specific GIF or screen grab on social media.
