Nobody will ever believe big head had a part in creating Pied Piper.

Rough one for you. Season has been brilliant. Tonight's episode was amazing.

Not as funny as the premiere, but it still got a few laughs out of me (unlike last week).

Put me in the camp that the new guy shutting down TJ Miller kinda kills it for me.

I think you guys have been putting Erlich on too much of a pedestal.
It's funny because he thinks he's infallible, and then he meets the "real life" version of what he thinks he is and is totally shut down. It's why you never meet your heroes, so-to-speak.
I don't like how Laurie blamed Monica for Russ investing in Pied Piper. It's her fault for turning her back on them when the lawsuit happened. If she'd invested in the team she'd be in a better position.
Oh and what about Jared talking about "celebrating"? His look nearly killed me with laughter.

Why does Laurie even care? I thought they backed out as investors?

They still own their initial stake of like 5%?

They still have a stake in Pied Piper from earlier, they just elected not to participate in their A-round.

Not sure if he masturbated or ate a chocolate bar.

It's masturbation, it is always masturbation.
New Billionaire guy actually reminds me of Mark Cuban. So now we have extremes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Cuban.
Pretty sure Richard was wondering the same thing, but was probably right to not ask for details.

I was just thinking that. Mark Cuban also sold his company at the height of the bubble.
Of course, he's done some stuff with his money since like owning a basketball team and investing in companies on Shark Tank but still.

Big Head bit saved it for me. Some fun coming there.
I love the characters and dialogue, but the drama elements sometimes make me go 'fuck this show'. Too frustrating! Gives that 'UK Office' cringe vibe.
That said, it's likely far more realistic that people are bigger hurdles than technology.
Douche VC guy, how do they get rid of him? I can only picture his death as an escape.

He sold his "Sports broadcasting on the internet" company to Yahoo and that is where he made his money. Yahoo completely overpaid and that business collapsed. It was all timing.
He is crude and loves to show off his money. Isn't he one of the worst investor in SharkTank?
Hooli CEO Gavin Belson. Well everyone is a mix of characters from the tech boom. It is hard to pinpoint one person.
Exactly, it was hilarious to see him failing to be buddies with the kind of person he wants to be.

I would say that he's the most cautious of the investors on there. He's usually not willing to invest in risky stuff and He's always willing to call out the BS in a company.

What? No way, get outta here. How are they similar? I'm not an expert on Gates, but from what I gather he's nothing at all like Belson.
See I thought Belson was more of a Larry Ellison.
And yes they are so emulating Mark Cuban with the new character.

Belson definitely has some Gates in there.
That line in episode 1 "I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do" is a version of what Gates allegedly said regarding MS vs Apple when they continued unauthorised development of the Windows stuff they licenced from Apple.
Post-Microsoft Gates is a completely different thing to the bully-nerd that he once was.

I was thinking he was more like Shawn Fanning, since Cuban has been pretty successful since selling his business.

Shawn Fanning is worth ~7 MM. Far from being a billionaire.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Whole episode was worth it for the ROI joke

I love how Pied Piper has become a proxy war for two bored billionaires.
And I was wondering what happened to big head. That reintroduction was amazing.

Cuban is definitely a colossal tool, so... yeah, that new character fits.

Also, seeing Erlich get ignored every time by the billionaire was hilarious to me.

Good episode.
Yup that made this ep for me.
"This fucking guy!" lol
Its funny to me. TJ Miller is doing a great job of creating that feeling/tention He usually can careless about anything/anyone but the one guy he kinda wants to care just ignores him. lol

Don't get me wrong the joke was funny at first, but they carried it out to long.
IDK sorta how I found the whole episode. I thought the part of interrupting the meeting went on to long too. It was funny at first, but then it went on to long.
It def wasn't as bad as the one poster talked like. I just didn't love it like some of you.
Gilfoyle is still the best character on the show. The sorry not sorry thing slayed me.

100 percent agreed, they drag out that interruption scene a good extra 90 seconds for no reason.

LMFAOOOOO latest ep was amazing!!
THIS GUY FUCKS!!
lol'd at his little celebration, that expression was worth 1000 words. It was hilarious when Miller met the kind of person he wants to be and the dude was totally shutting him down.
Also i agree with the cast, bro has a weird ass smile, who actually DOES that?

Great episode, had a good amount of lol moments.
Yup, I loved it.
She's always going to be in Peter's shadow, they should make her more distinct. The fact she didn't like him because he's a dipshit instead of being a bad business person felt out of character and something Peter would do.
Shes a terrible character right now. Hopefully gets written out by the new billionaire
