![]() ![]() Listen, a lot of people in my life gave me shit for ranking “Baby of the Year” so high. But I’ve watched this sketch about a self-serious father of the bride (Tim Meadows) being coerced into taking a photo booth pic with his daughter at her wedding about four times at this point, and I still scream with laughter at every line, particularly Meadows’ grumbling that he should never have agreed to the photo because he’s got “too much going on business-wise.” All of the best ITYSL sketches, no matter how ludicrous, have a grain of truth to them, and Meadows’ insistence that three seconds is not enough time to think of something silly to do for a goofy photo 100% falls into that category (though he is correct that with a purple feather for a prop, he could have pretended to be Barney, or “Barney’s hair.” The suit, you see, is all little hairs).

Or for that matter, listened to Tina Fey’s DVD commentary talking about him wearing a white tank top in Mean Girls?), I am admittedly a bit biased in this regard. ![]() You may ask why we - again, I - felt compelled to rank nearly 80 comedy sketches in order of how much they make me laugh and why. That’s why we at Rolling Stone - or rather, one working mother of two whose descent into total burnout has been punctuated by brief respites of ITYSL watchings - felt compelled to correct the record with a totally comprehensive list of the best sketches in ITYSL history. There have also been more than a few rankings and ratings of the most beloved sketches on the show from ITYSL superfans, who have GIFed and memed and quoted their favorite moments ad nauseam at parties to the point that it’s become the 2020s equivalent of Anchorman. ![]() As arguably the best sketch-comedy series on TV right now, Netflix’s absurdist I Think You Should Leave(created by Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin) has been subject to lengthy critique and analysis - because of course, there’s nothing that makes a joke funnier than a bunch of underpaid Brooklyn-based 30-somethings writing 4,500 words describing what makes it funny. ![]()
