Wow that episode was fucking evil. They got me so pumped up for that story line.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

The fuckin' snitch.

L's, everywhere L's!

 

[Infernostew]

Awesome episode. Lori is still the worst character in the show.

 

[kris.]

holy shit i about fucking died at that jared joke at the end. that was way outta left field

 

[acksman]

He didn't have a shredder at home, so much fail at the end in 10 seconds, damn harsh

 

[thestopsign]

That whole setup was amazing.

[thoseAREmySHOES]

holy shit i about fucking died at that jared joke at the end. that was way outta left field

I literally said "What the fuck?" the same time Richard did, albeit I was laughing

 

[acksman]

^
Perfect!

 

[freeofgreed]

Man, episode wasn't that funny, but from a storyline perspective I fucking loved it. Backman is an amazing antagonist. And lol at all that build up going to waste at the end. Wonder where this show will go next.

You mean Barker? Erlich Bachman is not an antagonist.

 

[robotrock]

That Jared joke is sooooo good oh man

 

[ryseing]

Carla + the plan immediately going to shit. Great ep.

Pretty much. Was going to say I enjoyed this episode better than GofT then all of a sudden my dreams were shattered.

 

[smokeymicpot]

They can never win.

 

[oatmeal]

Typical Silicon Valley.

As they walked in, I thought to myself "this season is so much easier to watch than last years" and then that happened.

Always something super stupid.

 

[knicks]

The Jared joke at the end, might be one of the funniest things ever. His delivery every time he talks on this show is brilliant.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The lead up to the Jared joke was masterfully crafted really. The prolonged planning. The badass plan. The badass music. Jared beforehand in the elevator stating he has another chain joke, and then when they turned that corner and it happened it was all too much. #dead

 

[Rentahamster]

Richard you idiot lol.

 

[ampere]

Yeah the Jared joke was nuts. It's like haha look at that necklace -> fuck your mom in her ass WTF

That escalated quickly

 

[Lamel]

Amazing Jared. Amazing

 

[Blastoise]

A bit sloppy with the premise this episode. But I love how nothing on this show is cliche. They always flip it somehow.

 

[johnnydrama]

WHAT. THE. SHIT.

I'm furious right now lol

 

[bounchfx]

fuck that was hilarious Lol. of course something went wrong but that's half the fun at this point.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Motherfucker. I was so pumped for that storyline LOL

 

[Kaizer]

Okay that ending legit pissed me off & had me laughing at the same time. Love this show but goddammit Richard - really, REALLY?!?

 

[Cabbagehead]

We just got hoodwinked. Hence the title of this episode. When Jared talked about it, and explained that they have to act like they usually act and Richard does what we expected him to do. Plus next week it seems they have the upper hand more or less.

Spoiler

Also Bighead next week!! nice pad.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"Bel Biv Danesh" im dying

 

[Blastoise]

From the previews for next episode:

Spoiler

It looks like Big Head has created his own incubator with his 20 million.

 

[Trouble]

I love that all Erlich did during the entire fast forward montage was sit in one place and smoke pot.

 

[Dares]

Saw a theory that in the Haversack thing that was mentioned the first part was to leak a fake plan.

I think them "getting caught" was intentional.

 

[PsychBat!]

Getting through that so-so episode was worth it due to Jared.

Yep which i'm happy i caught. Otherwise i'd be going to bed pissed off.

 

[Robot Pants]

I still like this show.... but the constant roadblocks are starting to get tired.
This is the first episode where I felt it.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I love that all Erlich did during the entire fast forward montage was sit in one place and smoke pot.

And that the roommate stole pizza

 

[reelbigtink]

I don't care about the roadblocks so much. It just offers more time for great jokes.

 

[KarmaCow]

It's kinda where I am at. All that being setup for Jared's joke was worth it.

 

[AndrewPL]

This show is the best! I had myself so pumped for the skunkworks only to have it torn away, nice gotcha moment!

No other show is so masterful in toying with the audience and crafting characters and story!

 

[Renekton]

Question: is Action Jack a scheming bad guy? He seems too smooth.

 

[AndrewPL]

I don't care about the roadblocks so much. It just offers more time for great jokes.

If they were allowed to always win you'd hate them all, its because they are downtrodden that you get upset when they lose and wish that they'd win, dragging you on that journey .

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

A fake plan that they completely planned out, which included discussion about how they'd have to continue to act disgruntled every day?

 

[AndrewPL]

Seems like most managers I've worked with, will tell you want you want to hear then shit on you when your back is turned. only really caring about himself....Maybe that's just personal.

 

[Jimmy King]

the glee when he said "unchained" was just so beautiful

go jared!

 

[YoungFa]

We dont know wich plan got discovered by barker. It could have been some other made up secret project, which is, as others commented is part of the ruse.

So they planned Richard getting tripped by the hose, expecting the sales guy standing there where the folder would fall, him looking through the papers, and then expect him to rat them out? That doesn't sound like something you can plan out. But that is the title of the episode and the strategy was mentioned during the meeting.

Jared's line was perfect. The way he worded it and how filthy joke was. Then Richard's reaction.

 

[Calvero]

lmao the carla backfire was hilarious

To be fair, the plan would never be that intricate. It's never "the guy has to be standing right there while the janitor is over here and trips me." No, it's just 'leak the plan.' Doesn't matter how.

And that last Jared joke. holy shit. Richard's reaction was accurate. Exactly what I said when I heard it.

 

[reKon]

this episode was fucking amazing. The ending had me in tears and I spit my drink at Jared's joke. I love this show

 

[SubScorpianZero]

getting caught as part of the plan doesn't make sense... why would Danesh whisper to him why he brought those files into work, if he knew it was part of the sabotaging plan

 

[Corpekata]

Holy shit at Jared's last joke. Nearly choked laughing at that.

A bit sad they wrapped up Carla that way. Is the actress busy or something, or do they just not have a bead on how to write for the character? I guess she is sort of GilFoyle-ish.
