Sexy Specs Inspired Sam Richardson and Tim Robinson's Detroiters

[@towedarray7217]

Tim is one of my favorite people working in comedy today. He’s awesome and he ALWAYS looks like he just walked out of a mall wearing everything he just bought.

[@seanduffy1420]

Lmao why is this so accurate

[@dovkushnir7808]

His actual style compared to his characters, ' combined with his personality, makes him seem like a completely different person

[@anniekrist1475]

I am a fellow Detroiter (Southwest side) and I remember all the commercials they are parodying on the show....classics! I wish we could have gotten more seasons! These two gentlemen are so funny and really capture the unique quality of what makes Detroit, Detroit!!!

[@peterleatherman6922]

Sam and Tim are the funniest people In Comedy today. They do not get enough credit.

[@bravetherainbow]

I haven't seen any Detroiters, only I Think You Should Leave but I love whenever Sam appears. His character on the Metal Machine Man sketch is so funny

This show is so under rated, I’ve watched both seasons several times over and it makes me laugh hard everyone, especially the one where he hires his brother Trevor.

[@FrancBarz]

Big love for these two from the UK!! I'm sure I didn't get half the jokes in Detroiters, but it was so effin funny, bring it back America!!!

[@Alexz_Archivz]

I love these guys 2gether! Ironically, Sam reminds me of my brother who died in '88 that was born in '82... he looks SO MUCH LIKE HIIM and Im older(by 2 years) and very light-skinned! Also, we both were born n raised in East side Detroit. RIP Dwight

[@trevorskies139]

god tim is fast. the whole "a 1 is someone stole a horse". hes a comedic juggernaut.

[@leeoconnor5142]

These two are comic gold! Bring back Detroiters!

[@sampatchthebear1513]

Bring back Detroiters!

[@russhayes4225]

I'm pretty much the same age as these dudes, and grew up on the East Side of Metro Detroit (East Detroit, Roseville, Harper Woods) Here are just a few of the commercials that I think of: D.O.C. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGW2YZh9r9OUgpI (Parodied directly on the show) Mel Farr Superstar - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5_IpImnpLSDraM (Such a weird idea to sell cars; Mel Farr stuck with the suit and the cape for years and years after that commercial) Alan Ford/ Ray Whitfield Ford - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGW2YZh9r9OUgpI (The song doesn't rhyme at all, but I still remember the words perfectly after 25 years)

[@JRRODYY]

awwwww they are so in love :) im so sad about the show being cancelled :( :(

[@thedankruss2881]

Now they've done bigger and better things

[@csweet207]

Improv while sitting down...these guys are pros.

[@theflint7692]

4:24 Tim with the quick wit-- that was 100% off the cuff. If it wasn't, he convinced me. Either way, fvckin genius

[@EdmonScott]

lol @ The Sexy Specs guy was EVERYTHING. I remember that commercial

[@m1a1tanky]

I love that the entire interview is them writing a sketch😂

[@thadyoung5226]

this show is hilarious!!!

[@mam4pop]

OMGoodness! Sam Richardson! I grew up with your Dad & family in Detroit! Sparky & Lamarr! Man O Man! What great memories I have of Mitchell Street & Courville Elementary school!

"I'm from the suburbs, Sam is from the city" lol only Detroiters will understand Detroit culture 🤣😭

[@sams7068]

I mean unless I’m missing something this is a facet of chi culture as well

[@devonwelch8014]

I’d say anyone who grew up in or around a large city would understand that. I can’t think of a single major city that doesn’t have surrounding suburbs and towns.

[@SharinganMan]

you think you're so special and it's literally the same as anywhere

[@xGMOGaming]

@@SharinganMan you’re a hater lmaooo

[@SharinganMan]

@@xGMOGaming hate you, why would i ever think of you

[@Oracle_Ocelot]

I love how Tim Robinson gets it about the suburbs thing. You've got to earn the title of being a Detroiter, otherwise you better just be from "Metro Detroit"

[@brianj4090]

I was gonna comment the same thing.

[@badkarmabaroo]

It’s true!

[@ryanrieben3517]

Livonia, Royal Oak, Warren.... Not Detroit. Don’t say you’re from Detroit. You’re from the Detroit area.

[@DA-js7xz]

What a stupid and trivial thing to care about.

[@cornmaster5522]

[@22Oatie]

TIM LITERALLY JUST CAME UP WITH A FULL SKETCH AT THE END OF THAT

[@JohnLee-ue6gy]

Sometimes improv is a turn-off when you can see the gears grinding in the performer's mind. Somehow, Sam and Tim make the gear grinding as funny as the improv it results in. There have only been a few episodes of Detrioters [and this great interview] and many times I'm chuckling at them starting their bit as much as I usually chuckle at the bit itself. The subtle shifts and changes in expression and the mime-ing they initiate.

[@DA-js7xz]

These two are a riot!

[@johnfarmakis8518]

If anyone is wondering what hanging out with improv people is like, it’s this interview.

[@CrazyTruckinS10]

These 2 are the best couple

[@Alexz_Archivz]

What about Alan Ford (Me and Dawg), Mel Farr, or that creepy exterminator who dressed up as a woman ironing clothes that sang a Jamaican song?!? LMAO!!! Detroit had/has some crazy commercials back in the day... what about the guy who was advertising funerals with 'Tha Crossroads' theme song in the background?!

[@badkarmabaroo]

Mr. Alan was hilarious. I’d always wondered what they dude looked like. I wish they’d done the old home renovations guy (Belvedere?) or Father and Son Construction.

[@tmattoneill]

Seeing seth in a suit and tie is like seeing a kid wearing his dads clothes

I’m from North North North Detroit, or what some people call Windsor, and I’ve seen these commercials.

Tim is the man, I love him to death & Seth seems cool too. I have not watched Detroiters, just ITYSLN.That said, this interview was strange. Sam bragging about his father calling the police on people complaining about their food is a weird flex. You need 1.6 million with start up costs up to $500,000 to open an Outback steakhouse, being a trust fund kid is a good reason to be that delusional. I am definitely going to check out the show though, Tim is hysterical.

[@SharinganMan]

he's describing things that happened in his life, not presenting his dad with a medal
