About
Tim Robinson Asking "Are You Sure About That?" refers to a clip from the Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson in which Robinson incredulously asks the camera the title question. The clip became popularized on TikTok via memes, where it was used in videos humorously depicting doubt.
Origin
In I Think You Should Leave season two, episode three, Robinson plays a spokesperson for a fictional company Carber Vac.[1] While telling a story about how he got fired from his job, he incredulously asks, "Are you sure about that? Are you sure about that?" (screenshot shown below).
Spread
On March 23rd, 2023, TikTok[3] user @goldenkeyprints posted a TikTok using CapCut to add the clip to a video joking about Amazon's Ring app being too sensitive to outside movement. The clip gained over 11,000 views in a week (shown below, left). Over the following week, the sound was used in over 23,000 videos.[2] Videos with the sound usually placed Robinson over a piece of misinformation the poster felt was wrong.
