Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" (HBO Show)

Hitler stuff with Jaded was highlight of the season. (Unless the final ep delivers anything like Middle Out did last year.)

middle out scene is pinnacle of hbo tv imo

just got caught up. this show is great.

the lawyer was killing me.

Is he a lawyer? No. Did he violate the Mann act? Yes.

who is that actor? i know him

i know why i know him! he was lloyd braun on seinfeld.

he was also in LA confidential iirc, as the lead actor on the cop show kevin spacey consults for

xpost omg thank you i was going crazy

lloyd muthafuckin braun

He has a slightly cleaned-up Harry Stean Stanton quality about him.

He played "Lloyd Braun" in two episodes of Seinfeld. He appeared in three Bigfoot-themed movies: Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter (1994), Little Bigfoot (1997) and Abominable (2006).[5]

serenity now...insanity later

p good finale, although I am starting to feel like their foregrounding plot mechanics over stuff that is actually funny

erlich & the real estate lady was funny

Great last line

this show is so aggravating and stressful for no reason

i loved those forced delays, kicking the keys into the storm drain so corny

“I used to take a tampon, soak it in grain alcohol, and insert it into my rectum. That got me high, but not half as high as the drug you just gave me. A second chance.”

"Even when his sobbing starts to shake the camera, theres no blocking at all. I mean the quality is great!"

holt shit he was in little bigfoot? every one should see that.

v loosely related but i enjoyed this a lot

saw a taxi in Austin today with the old "snack dick" logo on top and wondered if it was some wonderful meta-advertisement.

I finally watched this! And by this, I mean I watched every episode. Really miss the Peter Gregory character and he left a void in the show, although it opened the door for Gavin Belson's slow burn self-destruction. Maybe the ending of season two is a hint the same thing will happen to him at hooli?

I hope we see the cyborg again someday

the cruel joke on dinesh where gilfoyle convinced him the satanist girlfriend wanted to have sex with him reminded me of a really awkward prank some people played on me when i was a kid and it made me feel for the dude but also kind of made me feel better about life

oh yeah, and the peter gregory speech at the roman-themed/toga party! explaining the bar at the back with shorter lines and "thank you, florida" to flo rida

if this was a different time and place, that character would have been played by mike judge staple, stephen root, for usre

haha i remember having this exact thought while wathcing that season. i gotta watch s1 again though, peter gregory was really one of the best characters on tv in sooooo long :/

the burger king sesame seed speculation was a master stroke of ridiculousness and that kind of financial chess-playing kind of evaporated after he was gone

i hope his island reappears in the plot at some point

I feel a lot of kinship with Bighead

My favourite thing about this show is the way Erlich pronounces "Aviato".

baghead

“We are now living in a post-RIGBY world"

Somewhere out there is a gif of Erlich infinitely kicking the BamBot.

A guy who wrote a script for Silicon Valley apparently has aphantasia, the inability to see images in your mind

for some reason that seems like a disability that would help, not hinder, when writing for Silicon Valley

what was the Run the Jewels track on the end credits? I didn't recognize it

this episode was great, forgot how much I loved this show

Stephen Tobolowsky saying Aviato with the same ridiculous flair

Love Jared but I'm a little uncomfortable about this whole eviction subplot

I love the line about Jared's skeleton!

This week felt crazy-OTM wrt my current work situation...

I haven't slept in a box in years!

dang the moment where I'm thinking the CEO is on to something about actually selling things

Jian Yang might become my new hero

"just jam it in a box and no one knows it's there"

*sales people consider this idea*

"hmm, like a rack mount server solution?"

I haven't slept in a box in years!

lol yes

I love how Ehrlich loses every conversation he has with Jian Yang, like somehow he always manages to come out of them worse off than before

Jian Yang yelling at him while shoving whatever traditional Japanese thing that Erlich foisted him down the garbage disposal was great

Also him interrupting to say that yes, Japanese people are racist when Erlich was saying he was not racist was a perfect response to something that wasn't actually said

he's still an iffy character in his portrayal but they're getting better at capturing the stilted conversations between someone who speaks English as a second language and the American person they loathe

jesus fucking christ, I knew sales people were the worst and everything but I guess I didn't realize just how thoroughly and universally they were the worst! Watching this show has made me uncomf bcz it just gives me flashbacks to my last job
