Tim Robinson’s I Think You Should Leave has never behaved like a traditional streaming hit. It does not follow a weekly release model or dominate the algorithm with long runtimes. It does not rely on cliffhangers, serialization, or crossover potential. Yet somehow, it continues to climb in cultural relevance even when the show is completely dormant. The latest evidence comes straight from Reddit, where the series’ subreddit added 614 new members in a single week, landing it in the number 9 spot on Reddit’s “top TV shows” chart. It is an impressive and oddly fitting boost for a show built on the idea that social chaos only becomes stronger when someone tries to contain it. I Think You Should Leave has existed since its release in a strange space between mainstream comedy and cult obsession. That energy has made Reddit one of the most active hubs for community discussion, and this week’s spike is more proof that few series inspire the same level of sustained fan behavior.
A Cult Comedy That Keeps Evolving Long After Each Season Drops
When the series premiered, Netflix had not hosted a sketch show quite like it. I Think You Should Leave was fast, abrasive, deeply specific, and willing to push a single uncomfortable premise to such a ridiculous extreme that the only options for a viewer were joy, panic, or some uneasy combination of the two. Critics immediately recognized Robinson’s comedic voice as something rare, while fans recognized something even rarer. They saw a show that reflected the exact kind of spiraling anxiety they experience in real life, only turned into something cathartic. Part of the show’s longevity comes from that emotional accuracy. A sketch like “The Driving Crooner,” where a seemingly normal scenario collapses into pure nonsense, mirrors the terrifying feeling of losing control of a conversation. “The Hot Dog Guy” scene captures the universal desire to escape blame even when someone is obviously responsible. Robinson’s characters operate with complete sincerity, which is why even his most absurd outbursts feel grounded. These sketches are not simply silly. They tap into a psychological truth. Reddit loves a joke that rewards analysis, and I Think You Should Leave is rich with material to dissect.
The subreddit has built a reputation for turning even the smallest details into opportunities for debate. A three-word line reading can fuel an entire day of discussion. A background character’s facial expression can become a meme. Users treat each season like an archaeological site where every rewatch reveals another layer. That kind of engagement is not the result of passive viewing, it is the result of a fan base that treats the show like an evolving text.

Why Reddit Cannot Stop Growing Even Without New Episodes
Most comedy series fade from internet discourse once the season ends. I Think You Should Leave is one of the few shows that actively performs in the off-season. The recent jump of 614 members is not attached to a marketing drop or a surprise announcement. It is entirely organic. That kind of behavior indicates a constant flow of new viewers discovering the series for the first time and immediately heading to the subreddit to process what they just watched.
The show benefits from being built for rewatch culture. Episodes are short enough to binge on a lunch break, and sketches are easy to loop or revisit. A line that seems chaotic on first viewing becomes funnier when you know how completely it will collapse. Fans who return to the subreddit often report that their favorite sketch changes with every rewatch, and Reddit becomes the bridge between these constantly shifting perspectives. The growth spike means new fans are joining conversations that have been happening since the series began. It also means longtime fans are resurfacing their favorite quotes, leading to endless chains of back-and-forth references. The more people join, the louder the show becomes. It is the internet’s rising laughter captured in real time.
The Sketches Keep Becoming Cultural Shorthand
One of the clearest signs of the show’s staying power is how often its dialogue appears outside its own fandom. Entire arguments on social media now end with someone quoting a Robinson character insisting they “just do not know what any of this means.” A work meeting gone wrong will almost always inspire a reference to characters who spiral under pressure. Even non-fans recognize the structure of the show’s comedy because people use it to describe everyday life. That is a huge factor in the continued subreddit growth. I Think You Should Leave has transformed from a series into a vocabulary. People use its language to talk about stress, awkwardness, and the simple horror of being perceived. Fans flock to Reddit because the platform offers a space where this shared comedic language becomes communal. Everyone knows the feeling of watching a situation get worse because someone refuses to let go. The subreddit becomes a space where that emotional recognition turns into collective joy.
Where ‘I Think You Should Leave’ Goes Next
Netflix has not announced a Season 4 renewal yet, but fans remain optimistic. The size and activity of the subreddit suggest the show is not losing momentum: it is gaining it. Sketch comedy rarely sees this kind of sustained online growth between seasons. The spike into Reddit’s top 10 TV shows is a strong indicator that demand remains very high. If and when Netflix does announce a continuation, the internet will be ready. Until then, the series will continue to grow the only way it knows how: slowly, chaotically, and through word of mouth and memes that refuse to die. I Think You Should Leave may be one of the strangest comedies on Netflix, but it is also one of the most beloved, and if Reddit is any indication, its reign is far from over.
