Silicon Valley (HBO)

[BigRedRage]

If you havent seen this yet, its done by Mike Judge (The genius behind beavis and butthead, idiocracy and more) and it is FUNNY. My wife doesnt understand half of the tech jargon going on and still loves the show. Hilarious all the way through. I accidently watched the final episode first because HBOGO lists the shows from newest to oldest instead of vice versa but even with that we thoroughly enjoyed the entire season.

I'll have to see if HBO is on my Direct TV package. My wife my understand the tech jargon, but probably won't care for the humor

 

[JerkFace]

I loved the first season.

 

[crisper57]

Great cast. The penis joke never gets old. If you've seen it, you know what I mean.

 

[Cheesebeef]

i was pretty unimpressed.

 

[JerkFace]

i was pretty unimpressed.

Did you watch the whole season?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Did you watch the whole season?

yup.

I was surprised at how little I liked it. I'm a huge Mike Judge fan. I just never thought much of this was funny and the one character I did find funny, died halfway through the season.

and the guy with the Beard (don't remember his name) is PAINFULLY not funny to me, in pretty much everything he's in.

I'm surprised how much preference in humor varies. I've posted things that I loved that other people didn't find funny at all, and vv

I didn't know he died! So sad! He was one of the best parts of the show!

wow I had no idea, didnt realize he kinda dissapeared after the first few episodes. The part where he orders one of everything from burger king was hilarious

 

[crisper57]

In terms of the character, they did a great job with the story, dealing with the actor's death. He still felt like a big presence on the show, but in retrospect, I didn't realize he never showed up on screen again. Good writing, I guess.

yeah. it's really sad. I think he had cancer. his scenes were always the best in the show.

really? i felt like it was a huge gaping hole in the show, as they pumped up the female character (who I couldn't care less about). probably felt that way since he was the lone highlight for me.

 

[crisper57]

Yeah. There were times I wondered why he wasn't in a scene, like when they have a conversation in the lobby outside his office, instead of inside his office. But overall, I felt like the character was still engaged offscreen.

 

[crisper57]

I was just telling my wife about his death and she was like, "the guy who said they had to move forward in that thing..."

And I was like, "think about it. The girl said that onscreen, he didn't." Blew her mind!

or when she was like "ugh hes going to make that noise when he calls me" and then he calls and makes some wretched noise.

Hopefully he enjoys the whole burger king menu in his afterlife.

Just now getting to this. The scene with the orgasm company name had me cracking up.

Bummer the Peter Gregory actor died. I remember him from Rubicon.

Damn, I didn't know that about him. He was a good actor

As far as this show is concerned, I thought it was OK. Love Mike Judge but this isn' his best work. The first few episodes sucked but I felt like it picked up some momentum in the second half of the season. Didn't like some of the casting, esp the main character. I'll watch season 2 if it comes out

I watched like 8 episodes on On Demand over the weekend. It's funny, the debate over the penis thing was hilarious.

I actually love the actor that plays the CEO of Pied Piper he's got that Silicon Valley nerd to CEO thing absolutely nailed. I've worked with tons of guys like him over the years, extremely smart, completely unprepared to be in management etc.

Didn't know the guy who played Peter had died that's really sad, he was very good in his role too.

Living where I do it's pretty funny although I don't understand why they created Hooli if they're going to talk about Google as well, Hooli is basically Google, I guess they just wanted to make fun of Google without naming them when they make fun of them?

 

[Town Drunk]

Love this show. Thought the season premier set the season up perfectly. That penis joke might have been the best joke ever used on television. The funniest thing to me about it is its actually real science. I read an article that stated Mike Judge asked two engineers to come up with the mathematical formula.

 

[BigRedRage]

Season 2 was great, just finished it. A shame they are so short

I re-watched that scene like five times and laughed harder and harder each time I watched it. I think Erlich is hilarious.

Yeah in some other shows he's annoyed me but he's perfect in this one.

Hope it comes back soon, I'm seeing several guys from the show in other shows now, getting nervous they're going to lose their cast and the show will go away.
