“Don Bondarley” has its moments-and adds to the show’s rich musical canon-but in retrospect, they probably should have just gone to Corset. Alberto Isaac turns in a great performance as the king of dirty songs (incredible falsetto on the last syllables of “Oh, old Bart Dogfuck had a dong a mile long, a dong a mile long had heeeeee”), but this sketch doesn’t have time to descend fully into madness and doesn’t have the bizarre propulsive energy that makes some of ITYSL’s shorter sketches resonate. I’ve attended a bachelor party that included a private magic show (shout-out to Jimmy Fingers), and let me tell you, “Don Bondarley” captures the uneasy dynamic of an intimate show by a performer who, perhaps, time has passed by (not you, though, Jimmy Fingers). I also want to point out that the father and his sons really should’ve bonded over discussing his wack fight video talk about missed opportunities. Soon we find out that this idiot father blew $15,000 to try and scare his kids into … not dancing in the kitchen when all of his stuff is on the marble island? Ironic, since it’s the father’s constant blowups about the production values of his trash video that might be why his sons are acting out. But the tape is a crudely produced video starring the father, in which he responds to a rude kid by beating him to a pulp on an oddly quiet street. A father (Fred Armisen) gathers his two sons to watch a video we find out that they have been acting up and, in a last-ditch effort to straighten his sons out, their father throws on a VHS tape to teach them a lesson. There’s something about a sketch that front-loads the “what-the-fuck”-ery of it all.

It wasn’t easy to do-nearly every sketch in the series deserves praise and has an argument for being the best-but after much deliberation, here is our updated ranking of every sketch in I Think You Should Leave.

With the third season of I Think You Should Leave now streaming on Netflix, we asked our staff to sit down, have a sloppy steak, and update our ranking of the show, evaluating every sketch with the same intensity with which they would play the Egg Game.
