Anyway, it's hard to feel too sorry for Elrich since he's been such an stupid rear end to everyone, as entertaining as it has been. Also Laurie has been friendly to the whole team lately and we needed a reminder that she's still actually a big loving shark who is going to snap at blood in the water without an ounce of thought.

So, I just found out that the SV production team actually worked with a real company on the Pied Piper Appliance Box. It's a hyper-converged infrastructure start-up called Simplivity, and they have a bunch of blog posts I thought some may find interesting: https://www.simplivity.com/blog/category/silicon-valley/

Laurie's made it clear in the past that she hates Erlich (or finds him unpleasant, whatever), so why wouldn't she bite at the first opportunity to gently caress him over?

I think its a clever turn around for T.J. Miller's character. He was just kind of stagnate in this season and this brings him back into the group. As befuddled as he is about actually working, PR is his thing, not that he is necessarily good at it. Now if they can find a way to bring Bighead in the group then I'm for it as well. He is the Homer Simpson of this show, it's impossible to hate him.

I dislike Erlich for him bankrupting Bighead, it was such a dick move it immediately turned my perception of Erlich from a big talking guy who is still a bro to this massive douche who'll ruin his friend's future just so he could momentarily feel like a big shot.

He's an idiot whose major achievement at tech corporation Hooli was a big potato gun...that he broke.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jroQCyWwEgE He bought a big loving boat just because he thought it was cool. He overspent on a house with money he didn't earn. While Erlich did waste money on a party, Bighead wasted money to move an in-ground pool a few feet, and then move it back to where it had been in the first place. He went along with Erlich's insane business ideas (and company name) because he's a weak-willed chump. If Erlich had not come along he still would have been broke within a year. I can't even "BIGBY" because there's nothing "G" about him. What I don't understand is why viewers like him at all. Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Jun 16, 2016 |

Bighead is an idiot but I can't hate him. He never deceived or take advantage of anyone. He just fell face-first into piles of money and budget time after time because he is living inside a TV show. Erlich on the other hand knew very well that the deal he was striking with Bighead was way one-sided (even though in his mind he may have thought that he was helping him by getting on board his business).

Yeah. Bighead's follies were that of the bumbling Nicest Guy In The World. Erlich's follies were that of maliciously exploiting the bumbling Nicest Guy In The World. Poor Bighead, who ran into 'family dynasty' money and then lost it all thanks to having no idea what to do with it and thanks to being easily exploited by someone he thought was a friend with suitable expertise. Also, umbrella insurance. If you're ever (really loving) loaded, get umbrella insurance.

Oh it's only 300€? I imagined a way higher cost when I was reading the other site. Still, the general lesson from that quote seems to be that in America you should never ever invite anyone into your home.

I don't get how people are mad at Erlich for taking advantage of an idiot when the show makes it pretty clear that Bighead would have burned through the rest of his money in like six months, tops.

Erlich was an rear end in a top hat for trying to take advantage of Bighead, while Bighead's manager was a super rear end in a top hat for actually going through with taking advantage of Bighead. Stop taking advantage of Bighead

He also gave Richard that beta Hooli Phone in season two, so he's certainly loyal.

Erlich barely did anything, he hosed himself over because he didn't review the finances before going on a spending spree. He's already lost out on 4+mil because of his stupidity, I give him a pass because he's as dumb as Bighead, he just doesn't know it.

He would certainly continue loving Bighead over for as long as he had money, it's just that his business manager got to him first.
