Robinson, who starred with real-life pal Sam Richardson in that earlier half-hour cable program, went on to co-create, co-write and produce I Think You Should Leave a shorter-form serving of zany sketches. Netflix this month released a second season of six episodes, each 16 to 18 minutes with brief bits. Richardson appears several times, and the show is a critical smash.

Laughed to Death, Brianna Zigler looks at the marriage between comedy and existentialism. For this installment, she unpacks the idyllic, inane approach to nihilism, mortality, and the absurdity of existence in Harmony Korine’s The Beach Bum.
“I could tell you that I’ve been trying to cover the abyss beneath my illusory connection with the world. I could tell you that it’s all written in the stars.
