The clarification between "up" and "out" and how important it is cannot be overstated. It's the difference between a second chance at life and turning to bones. That is a fact not to be ignored.
The paper bag my takeout order was in the other day instructed me to "PULL HANDLES UP NOT OUT" and I was like wow I guess this place is frequented by skeletons which checks out because underground there's half as much food as this
What always kills me is when he says "Up, BUT NOT OUT!" his face implies that them pulling the hair out is the most absurd concept and the fact that you even thought of it is ridiculous 😂😭😭
I was actually in town the night this happened, and a lot of the skeletons were pulling hair OUT and just turning straight back into bones. It was genuinely the saddest thing I ever saw.
They also kept making a big deal about how much food we had and how they practically had half as much underground. I felt so bad but then they pulled my hair…
The end is the best part! "Well we were a little more interested in the parts Billy was singing." "Uh, Billy as in me or Billy as in him?" "Your name's Billy too?" "No. That's why I'm so fucking confused."
I love when he says "the worms are their money" he makes a face like "oh no! I messed it up!" and then in the next verse he clarifies that bones AND worms are their money. Tim Robinson is a genius. I Think You Should Leave is gunna go down with the greats for me.
no silly, the worms were their money when they were underground but now that the skeletons came to life for another chance at life they use bones as money he clarified that many times omg
The problem is that these currencies will always float in value relative to one another, because if they pull hair out they turn into bones, leading to a situation where worms are a more scarce currency while bone value is always at the whim of hair mishap driven hyperinflation. Economics 101.
That’s because to skeletons, the bones are their dollars and the worms are their *money*. Similar to how we call our money currency, but the actual bills are called dollars. This is explained quite clearly and in considerably more detail in the band’s extended edition version of their greatest hits album volume 4.
Poor guy is trying to unveil what could be a career-changing song and he keeps getting interrupted by the other band member singing about some dude getting murdered??
It’s pretty refreshing to see him explaining how worms and bones work as currency. I think that’s an important thing for young skeletons to learn if they want to get ahead in afterlife.
Well he has to, in this crazy old world pulling a man's hair up or out can mean the difference between turning back into a man or turning to bones (which is money (which is also worms (bones aren't worms, I meant that worms are money, just like bones are))
The fact that he thinks the guy was asking for something spooky adds another layer to this sketch because he’s probably thinking that he’s saving the song by belting out stuff about skeletons because Billy isn’t singing about anything remotely spooky
The is literally the funniest dang thing I have ever seen. I watch it at least once a week. I walk around singing “the bones are their money” to myself and make myself laugh. It’s absolute perfection. I wish I could be half this funny.
I've been trying to practice Fulsom Prison Blues and can't get past one verse before launching into "Bones are their money, and so are the worms!"; it's very frustrating.
I love when he cuts Billy off mid verse and says "right!....the bones are their money ..." And continues on...he says "right" like ok...good job... I'm taking over now
I’m begging you guys to please just put the whole thing on here. It’s soooo much funnier with the beginning and ending and it would add like, one minute to the length of the video.
But I'm counter-begging to not have it replace this version, because I prefer listening to just the song. I'm surprised someone else has never uploaded the whole thing.
I think my favorite part is how he has to have the guitar part caried for him because he needs to use his hands the whole time to explain how the skeletons will pull your hair up but not out.
1:13 The moment he realizes that he already said that the bones are their money and needs to clarify that they are dollars, so the worms must be some other form of the currency.
What's amazing about this sketch is just how goddamn dead on the actual western part of the song is. It's so ridiculously on the nose that it becomes hilarious in its own way.
The best part about this upload is the way the start and end of the skit have been chopped off and effectively eliminated half the jokes that are in it. That part was awesome.
The first time I saw this, I legitimately thought it was some weird rock biopic comedy and wanted to know SO bad what the rest of the story was only to forget this clip ever existed about an hour later. this last week I discovered I Think You Should Leave, and started watching it, then this came on, and I was blown away OMFG that's where that was from!!!
If you want to see what is basically this as a movie, watch “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.” This is making fun of Walk The Line just like that movie does.
BILLY: What the hell was that, man? I had a whole song wrote! BASSIST: What? I honestly thought we were just making that up. BILLY: What are you talking about? They were interested ‘til you started talking about all that skeleton stuff. BASSIST: Are you kidding me? The guy asked for something spooky! BILLY: No, he didn’t! BASSIST: Yeah, he did. He said, “Gospel’s not selling. Give me something spooky.” BILLY: You talking about how their bones were money, like, four times. BASSIST: Yeah, that’s ‘cause I had forgot whether I’d said it or not. [TO PRODUCER] Alright, Sir, we know our song’s good. We got a deal or not? PRODUCER: Well, we were a little more interested in the parts Billy was singing. BASSIST: Billy as in me, or Billy as in him? PRODUCER: Your name’s Billy too? BASSIST: No, that’s why I’m so fucking confused. PROCUCER: I meant that [POINTING TO BILLY] Billy.
Technically if Robert Pallin murdered him on the same night that the skeletons came alive to get another chance at life, then he almost did him a favor by making him immortal.
@@elissamarcus Technically yes, you are correct, but we can assume that potentially between the time he was shot and the time when the skeletons began to come alive to get another chance at life, depending on the rate of decomposition, he may have become skeletonized enough that he would also get another chance at life. The song did not clarify this important detail.
I'm going to be honest. When I first heard that the bones AND the worms were their money? I thought this was an amateur-hour act with no business even holding an instrument let alone being allowed in a recording studio. But the clarification that the bones are their money and the worms are their dollars showed me the consummate professionalism and in that moment I became a fan for life.
“It was also the night that the skeletons came to life They came from under the ground And from all over They- Exactly! The bones are the skeletons' money In our world, bones equal dollars That’s why they’re coming out tonight To get their bones from you The skeletons will pull your hair Up, but not out All they want is another chance at life They’ve never seen so much food as this Underground there’s half as much food as this And the worms are their money The bones are their dollars And- And it was also the night that the skeletons came to life The bones are their money So are the worms They pull your hair up, but not out To turn into a man and have another chance at life But if they pull it out they turn to bonessss YESSS”
The fascinating thing about this sketch is that someone could tell me this is the most unfunny thing they’ve ever seen and I’d understand where there coming from. What makes that fascinating is that I love the fuck out of this sketch and think it’s genuinely great. I feel like there’s a decent number of sketches in this show I could understand someone disliking despite me finding them hysterical. I love this show so much. 😊
I wrote this scene and told it to Tim at a cookout that I got real drunk at. He told me it was the worst idea he ever heard, and told everybody that I pissed in the campfire but I'm pretty sure it was him that did that.
Sometimes I can just sense how hilarious this was from the time he thought of it to the pitch meeting to the first dress rehearsal to the edit. A+ funny sht at every step.
This was one of the first itysl sketches i saw. I saw "magicians suck" and i was like "ok that was pretty funny" but THIS was the one that sealed the deal. I was rolling on the floor laughing,, like this is my exact sense of humor
The skeletons coming back to life to get revenge on Robert Palins would be an easy mashup, fitting all the money lore in naturally would be the hard part
I’m glad he clarified throughout the song that both the bones and worms were their money
THE BONES ARE THEIR DOLLARS
It’s like coins and paper bills. It’s a very sophisticated system of currency for skeletons who just came to life that night.
oh shit I never even noticed that. really deep song
It's because he had forgot whether he had said that or not!! Lol
The worms are money but the bones are their dollars. It’s right there in the lyrics.
The clarification between "up" and "out" and how important it is cannot be overstated. It's the difference between a second chance at life and turning to bones. That is a fact not to be ignored.
if they pulled it all the way out it'd make the song scary rather than spooky
but if they are a skeleton. they pull the hair out, they turn into bones, not a skeleton. I understand perfectly
I’m dead 😂 💀
😂😂Right!?
The paper bag my takeout order was in the other day instructed me to "PULL HANDLES UP NOT OUT" and I was like wow I guess this place is frequented by skeletons which checks out because underground there's half as much food as this
I love when he yells "EXACTLY!" as if the 2 stories were intertwined
It always gets me
Well they did both happen on the same night
@@MrFlourdelis He got shot, so he died and came back as a skeleton
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
It's the greatest instance of "yes, and" in recorded improv history.
What always kills me is when he says "Up, BUT NOT OUT!" his face implies that them pulling the hair out is the most absurd concept and the fact that you even thought of it is ridiculous 😂😭😭
And turn it into a man and have another chance at life 😂
And the hand gesture he makes when he says “NOT out”. Lol. Love it.
If they pull it out they turn to bones
Well if they pull it out they turn to booones
haha also my favourite part for the exact same reason. Wouldn't want us to think the song is ludicrous.
I was actually in town the night this happened, and a lot of the skeletons were pulling hair OUT and just turning straight back into bones. It was genuinely the saddest thing I ever saw.
I was there too. We were prepared for them coming from the ground, but then they also started coming from all over as well. We couldn’t handle it.
the whole ordeal was rumoured to have cost over fourteen million worms/bones
They also kept making a big deal about how much food we had and how they practically had half as much underground. I felt so bad but then they pulled my hair…
The worm conversion rate is nuts this year
A single money is officially called a boner. It's 5 boners to a worm
The end is the best part!
"Well we were a little more interested in the parts Billy was singing."
"Uh, Billy as in me or Billy as in him?"
"Your name's Billy too?"
"No. That's why I'm so fucking confused."
Exactly! Wish they wouldn't have cut it out of the vid
"You sang about how their bones were money like four times!"
"Yeah that's because I forgot whether I'd said it or not."
Up but not out, kills me everytime
now THIS had me laugh out loud!!! hahaha- thank you
Yes lol I fucking love
The fact they were able to film even one take of this without breaking is mind boggling.
I feel like the guy playing Billy is just picturing his most tragic memory while Tim is doing his part to avoid laughing
How the Johnny Cash guy didn't start laughing is beyond me, a great actor for sure! Had to be more than one take, right? haha
i'd say that's take 63 ;-)
I love when he says "the worms are their money" he makes a face like "oh no! I messed it up!" and then in the next verse he clarifies that bones AND worms are their money. Tim Robinson is a genius. I Think You Should Leave is gunna go down with the greats for me.
It’s ten worms to a bone.
no silly, the worms were their money when they were underground but now that the skeletons came to life for another chance at life they use bones as money he clarified that many times omg
The problem is that these currencies will always float in value relative to one another, because if they pull hair out they turn into bones, leading to a situation where worms are a more scarce currency while bone value is always at the whim of hair mishap driven hyperinflation. Economics 101.
Gimme five worms for a quarter, you'd say.

An understanding of skelenomics is essential.
I love how he specifies they pull your hair up but not out.
Cause if they pull it out they turn to bones.
Omg idk what's funnier the skit or these comments. Imma piss myself if if I laugh anymore 😂
Well he has to, in this crazy old world pulling a man's hair up or out can mean the difference between turning back into a man or turning to bones (which is money (which is also worms (bones aren't worms, I meant that worms are money, just like bones are))
In their world bones equal dollars
@@Nman-hm7tw the worms are their money
The fact that he thinks the guy was asking for something spooky adds another layer to this sketch because he’s probably thinking that he’s saving the song by belting out stuff about skeletons because Billy isn’t singing about anything remotely spooky
He did ask for something spooky though
i distinctly remember hearing him say “gospel’s not sellin, give me somethin spooky!” not sure what this other clown is so mad about
I literally just watched a pitch meeting before this, you following me?
Hi Ryan! We must have similar tastes, I always see you in comment sections lol
Coming up with a song on the spot is gonna be be difficult.
Hey Ryan, you should do a pitch meeting about I think you should leave. Huge fan of yours and this show here.

So are the worms

Literally read the comments waiting for someone to appreciate that 😭
Another chance at life.
“Yeeessssss!”
I’m gonna start farming worms now so I’m RICH when I’m a skeleton.
This was my favorite sketch of the series.
You can also collect bones. They're both forms of skeletal currency.
@@L.Ron.Hoyabembe Hang on.... Bones = Dollars... Yep that tracks!
With my luck, I do that and find out the worms are just their pennies.
Harry and Lloyd were gonna open a worm farm in Dumb and Dumber
I really don’t think enough time was spent on this video explaining the difference between the worms and bones and how each works as specific currency
The bones are their dollars so I'd assume the worms are their cents?
@@spectra_3005no the worms are their money and the bones are their dollar its simple
@@spectra_3005the worms are their money, the bones are their dollars
1:28 I love how you can see dude on the left trying not to crack he’s not even smiling or breaking but you can tell he’s having to fight it
I think he mentally went into another dimension just to avoid dying of laughter
He's puckering his lips like he's gonna have a fit of laughter lmao
Thank you for this time stamp. I clicked on it and laughed really hard. Never noticed that before
lol and it doesn't help that Tim keeps looking him in the eyes like "do it do it"
I literally sing this song everyday and I can’t help it. It’s perfection.
I think my favorite part is how he has to have the guitar part caried for him because he needs to use his hands the whole time to explain how the skeletons will pull your hair up but not out.
Tim letting out a triumphant "Yes!" after he sang...that... kills me
Tim’s facial expressions whilst saying these words are just beyond top notch. So much is going on with his facial muscles 😂😂😂😂
1:13 The moment he realizes that he already said that the bones are their money and needs to clarify that they are dollars, so the worms must be some other form of the currency.

That ain’t bones. That’s got nothing to do with bones.

“EXACTLY” Best line of the skit!

sounds like someone is having the worst day at their job
@@funk3nst3in 😂 ok that was good
I'm always happy to learn more skeleton lore.
I like how the bass continues to play when he takes his hands off
Love how the other Billy and the drummer just play through the song even though he had a whole song wrote
Also Tim's character is playing bass but the bass starts before Billy even tells them to follow his lead.
they followed his lead... in G
“EXACTLY! The bones of the skeletons money…” me and my dad know like every word to his parts
It’s amazing how he can play bass without touching the bass in some parts.
It was because the skeletons were playing that part
The studio would be crazy not to sign him
The first time I saw this, I legitimately thought it was some weird rock biopic comedy and wanted to know SO bad what the rest of the story was
only to forget this clip ever existed about an hour later.
this last week I discovered I Think You Should Leave, and started watching it, then this came on, and I was blown away
OMFG that's where that was from!!!
If you want to see what is basically this as a movie, watch “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.” This is making fun of Walk The Line just like that movie does.
Whoever cast the johnny cash lookalike needs a big raise
I seriously cannot even listen to the Johnny Cash song “Folsom Prison Blues” now without hearing Tim belting out his ridiculous lyrics in my head 🤣🤣🤣
I can relate! There was just a Johnny Cash clip on TV singing that song & my mind IMMEDIATELY went to this! 😂
🤣 it gets stuck in my head for days on end 💀

"they came from under the ground.... AND from all over" 😂😂😂😂
lmfao god i've rewatched this a million times and it's still gold every time
I made the unfortunate mistake of putting food in my mouth the second he goes
EXACTLY
The funny thing is the song the guy is singing would actually be pretty good by itself if he didn’t keep getting interrupted by that country singer.
"Your names Billy too? No that's why I'm so fucking confused." - gets me every time.
I never realized there was half as much food underground. Never stop learning folks.
I've had the line stuck in my head...
"The bones are the money, and so are the worms...
THEY PULL YOUR HAIR UP (but not out)!!"
I love the implication that there are still thousands of mcdonalds, applebees restaurants and thanksgiving dinners underground, about half as much
This might be the funniest sketch in history
It’s so fucking funny that Tim takes both his hands off the bass to emphasize the lyrics but you still hear the bass playing
(the producer reflecting on the skeleton parts later in the day)
"I SHOULD'A GOT THAT."
Let that one slip through my fingers.
(He pulls his hair out then turned to bones)😂😂 true story😅
His self-congratulatory cheer at the end always gets me
Technically if Robert Pallin murdered him on the same night that the skeletons came alive to get another chance at life, then he almost did him a favor by making him immortal.
He wasn't a skeleton yet when he got shot though 😢

at 1:42 Rhys is trying so hard not to laugh
I can never watch the original scene from Walk The Line without thinking about this ever again 😂🤣
‘EXACTLY, the bones are the skeletons money ‘ haha when Billy breaks in and tries to take the song back over for the first time …
I swear there are parts were the other actor is trying not to laugh
The fascinating thing about this sketch is that someone could tell me this is the most unfunny thing they’ve ever seen and I’d understand where there coming from. What makes that fascinating is that I love the fuck out of this sketch and think it’s genuinely great. I feel like there’s a decent number of sketches in this show I could understand someone disliking despite me finding them hysterical. I love this show so much. 😊
I thought about this sketch when i reread The Silmarillion. The Ainur trying to make music and Melkor just jumping in with discordance.
Tim has a really important message here
The Johnny Cash ft. Weird Al collab we never knew we needed
“Your name’s ’Billy’ too?”
“No, that’s why I’m so *fucking* confused!”
That "Yehehesss" at the end is what kills me.
This howling lunatic truly believes he fuck'n NAILED IT!
I'd give all my bones and worms for an album!
I learned so much about the skeletons economic system in this song
Truly the best part is that there’s still bass in the song despite Tim not touching it at all at one point
Main dude was going on about a generic song about murder while bro was over there doing full on worldbuilding and lore creation
So this is what Councilman Hady was doing instead of restoring power to Crown Point
The first guy is how you think the improv jam session went, the second guy is actually listening to the recording.
Idk if anyone already mentioned this but I just love the clear homage to the “Folsom Prison Blues” scene from Walk the Line. It’s so good
I wrote this scene and told it to Tim at a cookout that I got real drunk at. He told me it was the worst idea he ever heard, and told everybody that I pissed in the campfire but I'm pretty sure it was him that did that.
I need an album of this band’s hits pronto.
The way Tim annunciates “they turn to bones” at the end of the song is so goddamn funny.
No because the non skeleton parts of the song are so good
This man is using any opportunity he can to pitch his cartoon
It just clicked that this sketchy is subtly mocking a scene from the movie "I Walk the Line" . Tim is a genius.
This is what RayGun looked like at the Olympics compared to everyone else.
I jammed with some friends last night, they played Folsom and I couldn’t get this out of my head.
Evil dead 1 vs evil dead 3
This song gets stuck in my head when I read about the resurrected bones in Ezekiel chapter 37.
I don’t blame them for pulling my hair up (but not out) to turn me into a man. After all, it gives them another chance at life.
they've never seen so much food as this
cause underground there’s half as much food as this
Sometimes I can just sense how hilarious this was from the time he thought of it to the pitch meeting to the first dress rehearsal to the edit. A+ funny sht at every step.
Underground there's half as much food as this
they will pull your hair up but not out ❌
If the skeletons split a worm in half and both ends successfully regenerate does that mean they’ve counterfeit their currency 🤔
This was one of the first itysl sketches i saw. I saw "magicians suck" and i was like "ok that was pretty funny" but THIS was the one that sealed the deal. I was rolling on the floor laughing,, like this is my exact sense of humor
All these years and I never realized that underground there's half as much food.
Netflix miss the greatest punchline of this skit.
A skit only has one punchline. Don´t be a piece of sh--.
That’s why I’m so fucking confused
My favorite part of this sketch is how you can see Tim & the pianist's tank tops through their shirts
In all seriousness, am I the only one who wonders how a synthesis of the two songs could work?
Yes
The skeletons coming back to life to get revenge on Robert Palins would be an easy mashup, fitting all the money lore in naturally would be the hard part
This is where the Violent Femmes came from.
Exactly, the bones are the skeletons money.
