I'm mostly interested seeing more of the ascendancy of Bighead.

Its perfect though. Still love the fact he wasn't going to take the 2 million.

Turned down two million so he could hang out on the roof and nap with his friends haha. But holy shit at that $20 million deal. Way to go, Baghead

Not "easily;" not while Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a thing.

Man I enjoyed UKS season 1, but that show can be extremely grating at times.

I think Silicon Valley and VEEP are on a completely different tier than the rest.

 

[markhimself46]

Just remembered how funny the whole cancer foundation exchange was.

Jared:"Looks like he started a foundation in his mother's name to cure cancer."
Erlich: "Yeah, how's that going?"
Richard: "Heh, yeah. I bet his mother's dead."
Dinesh: "...yeah that's probably why he started the foundation."


Richard: "So uh good luck with the comapny there, Monica. It'll just be you, Laurie Bream, and some fucking asshole who can't even cure cancer."

 

[norinrad]

Bighead's fine the way they use him, in really short spurts. I don't know that I'd want entire episodes worth of him though.

I think Bighead is the Ringo of the show, spend your entire life doing nothing and getting paid.

Not "easily;" not while Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a thing.

I watched the first three episodes because of your comment. To be honest, the premise is cute, and the episodes had some amusing moments, but pretty much every episode of Silicon Valley has had at least one laugh out loud moment for me.

haha yeah that was great

Even in text form it's hilarious.

[thestopsign]

Like how this is going already.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

ROFL

so they just figured out the dick algorithm

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

HOLY SHIT lol

Was not expecting that horse fucking

 

[golem]

OMG Lol

 

[Bsigg12]

Welp this is a scene lol

 

[Xevren]

So that horse scene definitely got me by surprise.

 

[ruxtpin]

Wtf lol

 

[RustyNails]

i was not ready

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Lol great ending. Perfect song too.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This show is amazing

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That why is everyone so happy line while he's cluelessly holding that watermelon jello was hilarious.

 

[Bsigg12]

2 episodes in and this season is off to a fantastic start. Gonna be interesting to see how the ex-Hooli employees fuck everything up.

 

[acksman]

Horse fucking and black boxes, can't make this stuff up

 

[cubicle47b]

It's the little things, like horse fucking, that make this show special.

 

[Infernostew]

I was dying at the Japanese people are racist line.

 

[blakep267]

maybe its just me, but it seems that they don't really care about money at all, and that seems kinda unrealistic to me.

 

[Arkeband]

I wasn't mentally prepared for horse on horse action.

 

[robotrock]

Wow, HBO finally showed full penetration

 

[golem]

maybe its just me, but it seems that they don't really care about money at all, and that seems kinda unrealistic to me.

They were always going to make the money. They had the technology and stake in the company. I think they just envisioned themselves being more Apple than Qualcomm, changing the world with a little bit of fame and ego stroking thrown in

 

[ZetaEpyon]

Good lord, was not expecting that, hahahaha

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Richard finally finding his voice and sticking up for himself set to the backdrop of horses fucking and making horse sounds lololl

 

[possiblyphil]

This episode highlighted everything wrong with small IT companies and it really has me depressed.

 

[lustrate]

This episode highlighted everything wrong with small IT companies and it really has me depressed.

I work at a "tech" company with thousands of employees. Let's just say this show hits real close to home. I find it hilarious. The portrayal of sales people is too real life.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Going to be honest, I only watched because it's between GoT and Veep, and I've only seen a few episodes. But what Older CEO guy did to their product--gut it and sell it as pointless trash to idiots to turn a profit today--really hit home, because it's exactly what we are doing where I work.

Good stuff.

[Vincent Alexander]

My friend recently got me into this and I finished season 1 tonight. It took a while, but by the end of the first season the characters had all really settled in to their personas. A few were annoying at first, but at this point I think I'm hooked.

How badly does it speak of other shows that I found the conversation---about efficiently jerking off a room of dicks---to be believable and enjoyable in guiding Richard to his "aha" moment? So many shows handle the eureka moments with cringe worthiness.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

All i will say is fucking sales people.

 

[the_firewithin]

Great stuff tonight:

The rock paper scissors gag
Ehrlich was on fire
Poor Jared lol
That horse scene... My god I was dying

 

[oatmeal]

I feel like I'm in minority report

 

[Timan]

All i will say is fucking sales people.

That scene where when they walked in and they knew they were not developers and they ended up being sales... sat too close to home.

 

[abercrombie]

LOL lots of good laughs this episode, not even Jack could keep a straight face during the horse scene.

 

[torre_avenue]

I feel like I'm in minority report

I was dead at Guilfoyle's minority crack and Dinesh's appearance in that sales video. I missed this show's particular brand of humor.

 

[PsychBat!]

I can't wait this long for another excellent episode.

 

[Blastoise]

Actually was laughing out loud throughout the whole episode.

Holy fuck. I love this show. So many good bits.

 

[Slacker]

Loved that when Jian-Yang figured out he could squat at Erlich's house, he went to smoke a cigarette in his room, "Special occasion."

 

[element]

Seriously. As someone who works in tech, this is scary how accurate it is.

The "If we have the best marketers in the world, should they be able to market something a bit more difficult?" is too fucking accurate.

 

[icespide]

that horse scene good god man

 

[finalflame]

Seriously. As someone who works in tech, this is scary how accurate it is.

The "If we have the best marketers in the world, should they be able to market something a bit more difficult?" is too fucking accurate.

I started watching this show before working in silicon valley, and the show got 100x better once I started working here (before the beginning of S2). It's crazy scary how accurate everything is, down to the microkitchens and that exact brand of coconut water. Goddamn.

Oh, and the new Pied Piper building is the building I used to work in. Too close to home, man.

 

[B33]

Oh, fuck.

This show is perfect.

 

[oatmeal]

Okay, I'll bite...

what trick?

 

[Rentahamster]

Great episode.

 

[Kyou]

They call me 'Jan the Man'
