I think Tim Robinson is hilarious. I Think You Should Leave might be the funniest sketch comedy series ever. I really wanted to like this show. I bought the series on Apple TV. But it was just so boring. There are hardly any funny moments and the story, if you can call it that, is just bizarre for the sake of being bizarre and goes nowhere.

I really didn’t get the point of this series and why so many people apparently like it. I feel like he could literally do anything and some fans will think it’s amazing.

Spent way too much time dissecting the accuracy of this statement with my husband so I finally took a few minutes to dig in and see how many of these there actually are. The results surprised me- five movies that I think solidly fit the category:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

The Year Without a Santa Claus

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Santa Claus is Comin to Town

The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

I’ve seen this discussed here before on occasion but never saw a complete list so apologies if this is treading old ground. In conclusion, I think it’s fair to say that the theme of Santa’s failure to perform his one primary duty and reason for his existence is indeed, for whatever reason, disproportionately represented among stop-motion films.

I feel like the shape is familiar. Is it on the shirt in the beginning? Is it bouncing around in some video game that someone plays briefly?

Any leads on this?

Red balls" have several distinct, important uses in human brain studies across psychology and neuroscience. They are utilized in a few primary ways:Social Exclusion Studies ("Cyberball"): Researchers use a digital ball-tossing game called Cyberball to study how the brain processes social rejection. During MRI scans, a participant's virtual ball is thrown to other computerized players, who eventually stop throwing the ball back. This exclusion activates the brain's pain and emotion networks.

Infant Psychopathy Studies ("Red Ball Test"): In developmental psychology, a red ball is used alongside human faces to test infants' visual preferences. Eye-tracking studies have shown that babies who prefer looking at the red ball instead of a human face at just five weeks old may be more likely to develop callous-unemotional (psychopathic) traits.

Selective Attention and Blindness: Red balls are classic props in psychological videos used to test inattentional blindness. For example, viewers are told to count the passes of a red ball among a team, which causes them to completely miss an actor in a gorilla suit walking through the scene.

Color Psychology and Brain Imaging: Neuroscientists use stimuli like red and blue balls to measure how the brain encodes and updates visual information, studies which have revealed that different human brains show surprisingly similar neural patterns when processing colors.

This seemed like something outta the show. Imagine some repair guy shows up to fix your thermostat but leaves after looking at it for like 10 mins and then you just discover shell company after shell company with an address that leads a fountain 50 miles away…
