So glad this show is back. Great episode. -The updated website is hilarious. Richard's bio is completely empty. -Can someone post an animated .GIF of the theme song, and all the other versions for reference too? -Really going to have to track down a spotify/youtube playlist of this shows soundtrack. It's badass.

This site disclaimer is a great in joke reference: The old Pied Piper “flute player” logo was referencing the fairy-tale character and in no way was meant to suggest a sexual act involving either the mouth or ear of the figure depicted. Apologies to any who were offended, and the logo has been changed to our current green “PP”!

This show is so great. I still stand by my opinion that it is not in fact a parody at all, and is actually a documentary playing out with people who just look like some actors. The music in this show (and anything Mike Judge has done) is always great. Made me need RTJ 3 more than I thought I needed it. I am sick, I will punch your baby bear in his poo poo.

Holyshoot posted:If bighead is a real thing how do I become him? I want what he has. It is called "falling upward". It happens a lot in upper management in my experience. If you have been somewhere long enough and/or it is too costly in either money/PR/what have you they will keep falling upward until they are quietly let go without a fuss. I always thought it was imagined until I saw it first hand a couple of times.

Considering each season is so short and the main cast is so large I'd bet the problem is just not enough time/room for more characters that aren't critical to the main storyline. I'm surprised the bighead stuff is still so prominent, so I assume it will have some bigger plot impact this season (or next?)

Bighead just got $20m. I forget the numbers from the episode, but how much did Raviga invest? I could see Bighead stumbling into owning a very decent share of PP.

I know, he's incompetent, but the only reason he's in the show is because he was buddies with the gang before they left, and he didn't have the gonads to follow suit. Now that he's contractually cut off from his rooftop Hooli buddies, I could definitely see him crawling back to the Pied Piper boys with his tail between his legs and a wad of cash. Like, seriously. It's Chekhov's Severance Pay.

If they want to continue the BigHead story in the direction that tracks Silicon Valley most accurately, he'll probably be hired by a VC and put in charge of a billion dollar investment fund. Either that or someone will buy his next lovely app for $100M, but that would require that he do actual work first, which ain't happening. Alternatively, he could invest it all in PP and end up making more than the rest of the guys combined if it succeeds.

MrBuddyLee posted:Alternatively, he could invest it all in PP and end up making more than the rest of the guys combined if it succeeds. There's no way they're going to take PP public just yet, and none of the board would allow him to buy his way in as it'd dilute their eventual profits. 20 million to everyone but Monica, Bachmann, and Richard is pocket change.

Also remember that Hooli just laid off the entire Nucleus staff *without* no-competes - they're either going to end up with Pied Piper, or Bighead feels bad for them all and starts his own company full of Nucleus rejects

I wouldn't be surprised if he turned it down because he actually is that stupid, then Gavin thinks it's a power move and he fails upward yet again into like 50 million.
