That dedication at the end was so sad. :-(

 

[Mashing]

The jack-off equation scene is easily the funniest scene I've ever seen on television. I was laughing so hard I was in tears.

 

[fallengorn]

Jack off equation scene was fantastic.

 

[Tucah]

I had to rewatch the jerk off equation scene after the episode, just an incredibly funny scene. I've liked the show a fair bit this season but if we could get more stuff as great as that scene next season this show could be something special.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That hilarious scene seemed very Judd Apatow-ish to me. In a good way.Seems like something you'd see in one of his movies.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

great season. i hope they don't cancel the show like they did hello ladies

 

[royalan]

great season. i hope they don't cancel the show like they did hello ladies

Well, see Silicon Valley is actually funny...and has a clear premise...

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Already renewed!

[Saprol]

That jerking equation scene was hilarious. So glad this show is getting another season.

Holy shit this show just gets funnier and funnier

 

[RangersFan]

D2F lol best episode yet. Finally on board with this show. The whole Urlich jerking off everyone discussion was epic.

 

[robotrock]

I too enjoyed the jack off equation scene

 

[kassatsu]

The jerk off scene was some quality TV. Still laughing.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Fucking hot swaping the dicks! Lol.

 

[dorkimoe]

That jack off argument is probably one of the bed things I've seen on tv comedy wise in awhile. Hilarious


I really want to see this show progress to where these guys are rich. I wanna see what Erlrich will do with money lmao

great season. i hope they don't cancel the show like they did hello ladies

Hello ladies wasn't cancelled. It's a Stephen merchant show. 1 and done. He's filming a special right now actually.

Great finale.

I'm curious to see what will they do with Peter Gregory next season.

 

[aparisi2274]

Great finale.

I'm curious to see what will they do with Peter Gregory next season.

They have to recast him... I mean they can't have him always be somewhere else... at some point he has to step in for a scene or two..

No it was actually cancelled.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Good finale. The jack off equation bit was great. The show never evolved into something consistently laugh out loud funny, but things definitely improved from the mehtastic first half of the series.

I can see some HBO executives watching the fan reactions and going, "they don't like fart jokes, they consider them too low brow, but they do seem to respond very favourably to dick jokes, inform the writing staff."

 

[hokahey]

They could also write him out of the story you know...

 

[Exploratory]

That was hilarious. I love the show glad its getting a second season. My only question is how are they going to do expansion? So many extras and they'll need a fairly large space.

 

[Schrade]

I was laughing through the entire dick equation sequence. Oh my god did Mike Judge deliver!

 

[puebla]

Really happy this show's been renewed. The jerk scene was epic.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Jared on no sleep was hilarious and ofcourse the dick equation. Really solid episode i hope season 2 has a few more episodes.

 

[ronito]

Having worked in Silicon Valley I can attest to the power of the penis in inspiration there.

 

[demon]

Well that was easily the funniest episode of the show thus far.

 

[SlowRevolution]

this show is just the best.

 

[DTLIONS1013]

Monica said "Peter's going to be more hands on"

 

[Dalek]

What a great finale. I love this show!!

"how long do you think it would take you to jack off every guy in this room? Because I know. And I can prove it."

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Explain.

 

[J.W.Crazy]

Great episode but I couldn't help but wonder how Hooli could be entered into the competition. I thought it was supposed to be for startups? That really stuck out as odd to me. Other than that maybe one of the funniest scenes in a comedy ever.

They weren't in the competition. Belsin saw that Pied Piper was gonna compete, so he wanted to debut Nucleus during a keynote at the competition to undercut them.

 

[Messofanego]

All this talk about jacking off equations has me intrigued. Good time to wander into this thread.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Everything about the jerk off equation scene (or JOES) was just perfect television. Funny, and a slow build to relevance that just kept getting funnier.

But they left me unsatisfied. How long WOULD it take to jack off every guy in that room? What if there are ladies, would you need to modify the system for fingerbanging?

 

[Dares]

All I want next season is more Big Head.

 

[KarmaCow]

The jerk off calculation scene was a little clumsy but the idea was great. Neat way to sidestep the whole eureka moment without going into actual details. Erlich ambushing Gavin during the interview was probably my favourite part. The look of confusion and terror on Gavin as Erlich so try to throw shit on him was great.

It's kinda disappointing that the season basically left off where it started. They have crazy ground breaking tech (that smashes their old ground breaking tech) with no real application yet. I still like the season, but mostly for individual moments like the "piss to a shit fight" moment than the general plot. Hopefully next season is better in that regard and isn't focused around the will-they-wont-they garbage with Richard and the only other female character.

 

[Joe]

Series premiere and season finale were my favorite episodes. I'm pretty sure those are the only two episodes Mike Judge directed himself?

 

[trinest]

Monica said "Peter's going to be more hands on"

Do we know how much was filmed before his death though?

 

[Dalek]

Do we know how much was filmed before his death though?

He died like after filming the episode right before the "self driving car" episode. If you know that going into it, it's pretty evident that he's missing. I heard Mike Judge interviewed on the Stern Show and he talked about him and how hard it was for everyone. To answer your question-there is nothing else he filmed for any additional episodes.

 

[Joe]

Funniest part of the dick scene was how you thought Ehrlich was going to flip on everyone about how dumb they are but he just casually slipped into the discussion in a very serious manner.

that scene alone was worth watching the entire season for.

 

[J.W.Crazy]

They weren't in the competition. Belsin saw that Pied Piper was gonna compete, so he wanted to debut Nucleus during a keynote at the competition to undercut them.

Yeah, your right I don't know why I didn't see that. I re-watched it and right before the cut to the presentation Richard says, "We should go check out the competition," so that threw me off. I took it to mean the competition at the tech crunch.

 

[gimmmick]

The best episode of the season. I was dying at the dick jerk off scene. Mike Judge created an awesome show, I hope HBO supports it.

 

[Linius]

I really enjoyed this first season of Silicon Valley. The show started out a bit slow needing to find it's place. But after two or three episodes I started to feel it more and more and they kept improving each week. Good jokes, great characters and just a fun show to watch.

 

[valeo]

Was very cold on this show until the last few episodes. Good stuff.

I love happy endings. Can't wait for next season.
