![]() ![]() Robinson gives one of his trademark guilty-confused, My hand’s not in the cookie jar looks, and slips out a quiet “What?” “I feel like you’re just here for the zipline,” Megan says. The other is a heartthrob named Alexander, who just didn’t really “click” with Megan. Of course, he’s one of the two contestants Megan (this show’s bachelorette played pitch-perfect by Jessica Parker Kennedy) is considering sending home. To place Robinson, whose smolder is even goofy, among the statuesque hunks that inhabit that sort of show is funny in itself. It comes in the fourth episode, and it’s called “ Summer Loving Farewell.” Robinson plays a contestant named Ronnie on Summer Loving, a Bachelorette-esque reality show. My favorite sketch from this season suggests they could. ![]() The season may not tread much new territory, but in expanding the Tim Robinson library, it does beg the question: Could these guys make these sorts of sketches forever, like their own miniature, cracked-out SNL? Elsewhere, there are more of Robinson's characteristically inspired concepts (“the driving crooner”), names (Don Bon Darley), and quotes (“We should be able to look at a little porn at work…”). Season Three’s high points come in Episode Three, “Cut to: We’re Chatting About This at Your Bachelor Party.” There, Robinson plays a man who accidentally gets a haircut that looks like floppy dog ears ahead of a first date Tim Heidecker plays a doctor who desperately wants to join his patient–whose heart he’s monitoring–at Club Haunted House and a man (also played by Robinson) 'pays it forward' in a drive-through with the intention of circling behind the next car so they’ll pay for him to enjoy $680 in fast food. If there are fewer of those moments this time around than in Seasons One or Two, well, come on, those seasons set a pretty impossible bar. ITYSL remains the show most likely to make me keel over on the floor, my eyes wet with laughter. Though Season Three is admittedly my least favorite of the show so far, Robinson hasn’t lost his fastball.
