Pakistani Denzel was fucking hilarious but time and time again it's like the same bits from the awful Betas is played out here. I get the situational stuff with roommates and the tech industry are going to be the same but Jared was singing Christopher Cross. That was literally the first or second joke of Betas.


Edited. Sorry I had no idea that paki was a slur.

Um... It might not be such a good idea to use "Paki" because it is a racial slur.

So the QR code in the last scene leads to this website: http://ravigacapital.com/

It's registered by HBO, but thats it.

Thanks, I tried to scan it but my phone couldn't pick it up.
Wonder what it is.

 

[Wensih]

I never noticed the Napster balloon inflating then immediately deflating in the intro.

That was one of the first things I noticed. I thought it was pretty hilarious.

 

[DarkFlow]

Was that a real google self driving car they used?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

lost it when erlich bitchslapped that kid

Coming around to liking Elrich, mostly because he bitch slapped that kid.

Yep. Best scene of the series so far, and the first one to get a genuine laugh out of me.

 

[Pixels]

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. First the mural at hooli and then the kid getting slapped oh my god LOL

 

[Shaneus]

"You just brought piss to a shit fight" is the best fucking line I've ever heard. Love it.

 

[Lubricus]

If so they are probably regretting it now.
I think it was a mock up for the show, I doubt it was a real working robot car.

 

[sunofsam]

Best new show on TV. Anyone see the parallels between Richard/Elrich and Peter Gregory/Gavin.

 

[RepairmanJack]

This show somehow keeps getting funnier every episode. I now have an even bigger crush on the ATT commercial girl. Thanks Silicon Valley.

Oh shit.

Mind fucking blown.

 

[norinrad]

Love this show

Yeah - when they had Richard looking at the photo in Peters office it blew my mind. Gotta see how this plays out.

Holy crap that's her? I knew she looked familiar.

And Zach Woods is awesome in this. He's great in the small bits on Veep but he can clearly hold his own here. Loved it when he disgusted himself with his own joke.

soooo good

 

[Tenks]

This show is amazing. I generally don't get into sitcoms that much but Mike Judge is so damn good at making characters.

Game of Thrones
Silicon Valley
Mad Men

What a time to be alive on Sunday evenings

Anyone listen to his podcast The Indoor Kids?

I could never really get into Indoor Kids, but his appearances on Harmontown or Doug Loves Movies are always great.

OMG that WAS her!

I thought about it for half a second but this girl looked thick. So I thought there was no way. AT&T girl looks bony as hell.

Damn character actors. They get me every time.

It took me about 5 minutes of pausing it and staring while thinking about it, then I finally just went and looked it up.

 

[Suzaku]

I was on the fence about this show, but I stuck through and I feel like it's really starting to hit its stride. The bearded guy who slaps the kid for addy is the best.

Listening to them interview Spencer on IK got me into Harmontown. Now I will have to check out Doug Loves Movies.

Yeah. It's the only reason I knew the show exists lol. Loved the last two episodes of SV, I hope they keep it up.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Such a great quote lol

Always known about it (at least, for a while) but never made the effort to check it out. I guess I should, then? Any particular standout guests/episodes?

Actually, I suspect I've listened to one or two, if perhaps there has been either a significant TV/gaming celebrity. Possibly Dan Harmon? Or Tim Schafer?

 

[Vyer]

Episode was great. Kid slap, Chikfila Satan meeting, Denzel conversation all killed me.

AT&T woman is cute as hell.

Automatic car stuff was truly terrifying.

This show just keeps getting stronger.

Spencer the DM from Harmontown is a great episode.

 

[Juz]

Erlich is awesome. Really the standout character in my opinion.

And everyone was hating on him at first.

I agree that the show is really starting to gel, it just gets better and better. Glad it was renewed for another season already.

I thought people were mostly complaining about Richard though?

People were saying Richard was boring and that Erich was just obnoxious.

 

[Fey]

I stuck with the show even though didn't think it was that great and was thinking of stopping, but still watched the last episode ... and it has won me over. Really loving the show now. The Elrich/kid scene was hilarious.

I really like the Social Network-esque music, too. The track playing during episode 4's (I think) credits was soooo good.

 

[out0v0rder]

you just brought piss to a shit fight

 

[Santiako]

Erlich is still obnoxious, one good scene does not make him a good character imo

 

[djSyndrome]

He's a relatively accurate caricature of the worst type of SV douchebag. What's not to like?

 

[Cornballer]

Between the confrontation with the kid, the logo graffiti incident, and him stepping up in the meeting with Peter Gregory, I think he's really come around.

 

[Leunam]

I agree. The meeting with Gregory makes a good case for why an employee like Erlich is needed.

Google Ratatat 'Party and Bullshit'. It's in instrumental of a remix of biggie.

Intro song is Tobacco aka Tom Fecaka Black Moth Super Rainbow.

The music supervision is incredible. Great artists.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

But his character is ment to be obnoxious. Gloriously so. Love to hate // hate to love

 

[Messypandas]

I'm liking the show, it feels like its finding its feet now. The first few were boring to me, because it was more emphasized on observation rather than humour on a subject i'm pretty knowledgeable on. I will maintain that the lead character is pretty pathetically written, and is getting overshadowed by the supporting cast.

I like the guy but I kind of agree. Maybe it's just because he needs to be the main character and therefore needs to be a little more grounded. Barring the hilarious panic attacks, I mean.

The preview gives me hope though.

 

[Vyer]

The Pros and Cons board filled with Gilfoyle cons was also great.

 

[Mifune]

Weakest episode so far. Felt like a different show.

It was still funny but very broad and slapstick. I love the storytelling on this show and this episode was really weak in that department.

 

[dead souls]

Yeah, that was hilarious.

 

[icespide]

did anyone else notice that the hot girlfriend from the last episode is the lady from the latest AT&T commercials?
