the absolute commitment to the question on its own terms (populated by dick diagrams) and the lengths to which they took it really made the bit incredibly funny

so this dealt with the peter gregory/christopher evan welch-sized elephant in the room really well - the bizarro monologue explaining his death was utterly hilarious

yeah i loved that

I wonder how much of the season they'd shot and how much of it they had to overhaul and rewrite/reshoot
― gybe horses (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 00:39 (nine years ago) link
I think he'd already died while they were shooting the end of last season.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 01:00 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 01:30 (nine years ago) link
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
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 18:52 (nine years ago) link
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
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 11:06 (nine years ago) link
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
