The latest news on Tim Robinson centers on his first major film starring role in the 2025 dark comedy Friendship, in which he is paired with Paul Rudd. The movie, directed by Andrew DeYoung, features Robinson as Craig, a disenchanted suburbanite whose life is upended by his new neighbor Austin, played by Rudd[1][3][5]. The story follows their intense yet ultimately unstable friendship, with Robinson bringing his signature brand of cringe and anti-comedy to a feature-length narrative. Early reviews highlight the film’s offbeat humor and the way it satirizes modern masculinity[3][5][8].
Robinson has continued to receive acclaim for expanding his comedic style from shorter sketches (notably in I Think You Should Leave) to a full-length film format, with critics noting how the awkward, uncomfortable energy he excels at translates into the more substantial emotional arc of a character like Craig[1][8].
In addition to film news, Robinson has made recent media appearances discussing his creative process and the evolution of his career, including interviews reflecting on his time writing for Saturday Night Live and working with Will Forte. He often references the continued cultural impact of I Think You Should Leave and the strong online fan community around his work[2].
On social media, Robinson has been active on Instagram, occasionally sharing personal milestones and his ongoing friendship with collaborators such as Sam Richardson[6].
