After three seasons of randomly awkward chaos, it’s safe to say that Tim Robinson’s comedy sketch show, I Think You Should Leave, is a fantastic cultural hit. Where else could you get a story about the legendary Driving Crooner and paying it forward with a comical amount of fast food items?
As it turns out, on a recent local Chicago news broadcast.
Sports anchor Josh Frydman of WGN-TV got a little creative with his report on Saturday. While routinely recapping the day’s events involving the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs, Frydman used so many I Think You Should Leave references in his script.
The lengths to which Frydman went to fit them all are brilliant:
An “I Think You Should Leave” themed sportscast? RANDOM.
Had a little too much fun putting this together with my shirt brother/real brother and fellow #ITYSL obsessive @AJ_Frydman. @ITYSL_memes pic.twitter.com/uuqWnNVFXJ

I’m still trying to decide which reference I appreciate the most, but I think it’s gotta be the “gimme that” on a game-ending interception. Talk about delightful and unique creativity.

The only thing that would’ve made this better is if he was wearing a shirt from Dan Flashes https://t.co/ejHmVyDzz9
