We discuss the politics of pranking and comedy, focusing on intention versus impact and call in versus call out culture. We also reflect on some of the prank-like things we’ve done on this podcast and similarities with the Jokers/feminist panel prank.

On episode 293 Nick, Lottie and Hayden discuss their favourite sketches from I Think You Should Leave, series 3 (Netflix). The sketches that we cover are: purple feather, doggie door and banana breath.

We also cover the politics of series 3 (building on our discussions on the politics of series 1 and 2), our ITYSL emoji game and Nick’s reviews for the swayzine store on Etsy. For more ITYSL series 3 interviews and commentary, make sure you check out our friends over at That’s A Chunky, a podcast about I Think You Should Leave!

We hope you enjoy the show. It was such a good time for us that we’re going to do shirts for this episode – a fun shirt that we design that says “Learn Respect, I Think You Should Leave Class of 2023” and underneath it says: “Back away, banana breath”. Does anyone want a t-shirt? You can always get it big and use it as a night shirt. Please let us know how big your body is.
