#Tim robinson wrong tv#
“Spectrum,” a first episode sketch in which Tim Robinson plays the proprietor of a TV channel in danger of being dropped from Spectrum’s cable packages, has very little chance of becoming a handy shorthand for a perpetual feature of the social or political landscape. (It’s worth noting that this sort of memeification always smooths out the nuances a little-for instance, Robinson’s line is not, “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this,” as it appears in the meme, but “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this and give him a spanking,” which is funnier, but a little less universally applicable.) The internet was not going to let a meme as apt and memorable as Robinson in a hot dog costume go to waste, and as Rebecca Onion has documented, over the course of 2020, the hot dog guy sketch became ubiquitous on social media, which is probably why Netflix released an embeddable version of the sketch shortly before the election. That’s because in the intervening time, Republicans went on an absolute bender of destroying things in completely predictable ways, then implausibly claiming they were not only innocent, but frantically searching for the real culprits.
The first season of I Think You Should Leave was released in April 2019, but Netflix posted the sketch on YouTube in October of 2020.
