that script misses almost everything that's great about silicon valley

the show isn't about the hostility of working in that environment, but about the absurdity of it having to be that hostile - when a character makes a sex joke it's never actually supposed to be an insult, the timing of jokes on the show almost make a commentary on how silly it is for a character to say something like that at that particular moment

on the other hand, you have a rape joke by gilfoyle asking richard to eat a dick when he's interviewing new ceo candidates...

this is the kind of script someone who's offended by the show but wants to be 'in' on the joke would produce pretty much.

Agreed. Though I think it's more of a person wanting to be "in" on the joke, but not being very funny. And why would Laurie Snapchat a picture of fire to Richard even though they had Monica fire him? Makes no sense.

I thought it was funny :) but Laurie's character did seem 'off', way more casual than she was on the show.

Deadpool is a great movie, but it's so weird to see T.J. Miller play a character that's the complete opposite of his character on Silicon Valley.

His character is sarcastic like Erlich, but he plays a big nerd. In Deadpool, he certainly doesn't strike me as a guy who would put his balls on a table to neg venture capitalists.

TJ Miller is great, but in terms of star power, he's no Ryan Reynolds.

His Super Bowl commercial for Shock Top got an eyebrow raise from me, though, considering how much product placement there was for Ballast Point last season. If you're gonna promote a craft-like label created by a beer conglomerate, at least make it Blue Moon. Their beers are much better than Shock Top's.

He's also been shilling Smirnoff in commercials with Thomas Muppetitch; I don't think he cares much about the quality; its probably just free booze/money for him.

I will support him forever because he called retard techies on their bullshit when they got him to host the "crunchies". Go to the space of one of the best symphonies in the world and act flabbergasted that the wall of noteworthy people isn't full of tech retards? Do these stupid billionaires not get that not everything in the world exists for their praise, consumption, or financial gain? :argh:

He's been doing the yogi bear jokes for years, mucinex is new. His ads are usually funny and he said on Twitter he does them to support his real work like Gorburger.

I just hope the new season has more episodes with like the one with the pros and cons of letting the guy live. You know...comedic situations. And less of Pied Piper being held back ever so unsatisfyingly at every hurdle.

They're held back because when they succeed they become billionaires and the show's Entourage.
