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

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
― Οὖτις, Monday, 2 May 2016 21:31 (eight years ago) link
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
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 2 May 2016 21:35 (eight years ago) link
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

have you guys seen what some of the "appliance" data center things you can buy look like? in one way they make sense, in that they're supported by the vendor from the hardware/OS upwards to their product
on the other hand, it's a physical thingy that looks justifiable to buy for higher-ups when it's usually just a software thingy
also some of them have some lol branding

I like the appliance angle cuz that means (hopefully) we'll get to see some hardware development stuff (trips to Chinese factories, etc.).

happy for Big Head getting 20 mil but all he really wants to do is hang with his buddies on the roof

agreed! mike judge may secretly be my favorite comedy creator. i am wondering how hands on he is on an episode by episode basis
― ulysses, Wednesday, 18 May 2016 18:13 (eight years ago) link
I do like this show altho idk if I'd say it's getting better. Sometimes the plot contortions get in the way of the jokes (watching it I have a hard time not thinking about Judge's comment about how they have a hard time "constantly coming up with different ways for them to fail")

At Raviga, we see the big picture. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We not only think outside of the box, we think outside of the box that box is in — and so on — until innovation is free of all boxes that would contain and constrain it. In this way, we seek to disrupt the very concept of disruption itself.
lol @ the companies the members of the sales team worked for previously

had to read Jared's bio to my Vassar-educated wife.

it's very appropriate! after every time he's on screen, I find myself thinking, "Oh Jared, what has the world done to you?"

the continual failures are getting a bit exasperating, but im excited to see how Big Head is gonna back his way into success again.

when does this season end? I was dropping my HBO streaming subscription for a few months and was going to pick it back up and binge the whole season, but you are tempting me into jumping back in now
especially if there's more Big Head content
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 23 May 2016 15:20 (eight years ago) link
prob the most Big Head content since the first season!

Something about this show seems very Entourage to me: the quick reversals of fortune, the comic relief from the programmer equivalents of Turtle and Drama, the 'agent,' the token females. That said I enjoy it very much...
