I think he'd already died while they were shooting the end of last season.

I read somewhere that he'd filmed 5 episodes of the new season though
― gybe horses (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 01:06 (nine years ago) link
Pretty sure it was that he'd filmed the 5 episodes of the first season. That's why you never saw him later in S1.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 01:11 (nine years ago) link
yeah, that's right.

i believe he was dead before they started airing the show.

Erlich Bachman really is one of the best comedy character creations in TV in a long, long time.
I can't get enough depictions of horrificly awkward tech parties. Kid Rock last series and the SF Giants ballpark this time - so cringey

I have witnessed some pretty ridiculous parties and listened to some insanely ridiculous rhetoric/speechifying
Having been through a few hardware startups, I think my experience hasn't been as nuts as these pure software companies, but it's still pretty ridiculous.

Was pretty active in startups and party crashing during the original dot com era but I've steered clear of the current douchebag/brogrammer wave. I hope they all fail miserably.
boo.com parties were the best/most insane

this.
investor guy who was throwing party for pied piper at the start was james from Spin City, who I haven't seen in anything since Spin City.
Love this show to death. Found it amusing that when I was in SF this weekend for first time in a decade, how many billboards were specifically aimed at software programmers and app producers.

Jesus Christ, this show is so, so funny.Died at Jared deciding he finds the BRO app "sticky" - the only people ever to use the word bro with him were 'assailants'Died at "Bros disclose."Died at the angry VC guys recounting Erlich's previous insults ("You called me a choad-guzzling Fuck Toilet.") then "At least I have the decency to shave my balls. We live in a society."
God, there are like 10 big belly laughs per episode, which is more than any other show for a long time for me

omg @ the billionaires/Jews in Nazi Germany analogy (this was based on a real thing someone said, yeah? I can't recall who)
really killin it this season. Jared is such a classic Mike Judge character, loved the Julia Roberts movie refs bit

venture capital dude tom perkins in the wsj: "Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on the "one percent", namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich"."

Jared really is a great character.
is the new rich guy (was it Russ Hanneman?) based one someone? all i could think of was maybe Tom from myspace.

my thought was MacAfee
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 16:00 (nine years ago) link
he's a funny character but boy is he annoying. i hope he's not around too much. it's hard to take. tho i enjoyed his subtle dissing of erlich.

Radio On Internet is partially Mark Cuban, who made his fortune selling broadcast.com to Yahoo and hasn't exactly expanded his fortune by leaps and bounds in the intervening years. Also kind of a douchebag.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 17:25 (nine years ago) link

In 2005, Cuban invested in Brondell Inc., a San Francisco startup making a high-tech toilet seat called a Swash that works like a bidet but mounts on a standard toilet.[
