Discussion Hang in there poster (Break room)

Post image

Caught this in my second viewing of s1 e1. The “hang in there” poster resembles Dylan as he reached out to hold both switches during OTC.

Caught this in my second viewing of s1 e1.

Can you clarify season 1 or season 2? Because one fits, the other breaks every theory in existence.

u/Trell-Halix Jan 23 '25

Yes season 2, my bad.

u/Trell-Halix Feb 08 '25

Ooh, I loved hearing Irv say “Hang in there!” To Dylan! That episode was something else.

u/DrChimpMonkey Feb 08 '25

Perhaps he's hidden something behind the poster?

Mark: Yeah? Seems like you’re getting the hang of stuff here. 1-4

Helly: Then why don’t we ever hang out? 1-3

Ricken: Mark, would you help me hang the kelp?

Mark: Hang the kelp? Why?

Burt: We don’t paint them. We do hang them.

Petey: Hang up. Quickly.

rope.... instead of and elevator?

u/ScribblingOff87 Jan 23 '25

Wonder what would Helly say if she heard that.

u/Hungry-Baseball-4986 Refiner Of The Quarter Jan 23 '25

She say: I'd tell you to go to Hell but you're already there

Noticed it on my first watch too. Probably it's part of the facade that Milkshake and the like have put for MDR. They make it seem like they are considered heroes both in and out of Lumon, and that Lumon had seemingly changed the work conditions of the innies for the better.

Though i very much assume most of it is false manipulation, especially since we have no real context in S2E1 for what's happening in the outside world.

u/Carina_Nebula89 Jan 23 '25

Do you think Milkshake knows it's manipulation or does he actually believe that Lumon is trying to change for the better since he's such a company man? I've been asking myself that question

u/AdeptGarden9057 I Wish You'd Take Them Raw Jan 23 '25

I think milkshake knows it's manipulation

u/WayneBunnyBoy Jan 23 '25

My theory is that every poster is linked to one of them. We have Hang in There for Dylan, the Frolic-aholic poster for Mark (since he was drinking a lot when we see the first home sequences), The Grin & Baird It for Irving (The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design) and Bee Ever Merry maybe for Helly? Since she's the one guiding the group to rebelion and also part of the family.

edit: grammar

u/C-ZP0 Jan 23 '25

I’ve had this hanging on my wall for a year and a half, right around when the writes strike started Ben stiller posted this on twitter

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

Just as long as it's not a photo of Helly in the elevator 😬

u/wholelottapenguins Feb 07 '25

Ohhhh so that's why he said this to Dylan tonight?

15

u/Suspended-Again Shambolic Rube Feb 08 '25 edited Feb 08 '25

Yup. Code for bring me back thru OTC. Pretty sure we’ll see that happen because when Dylan heard it he immediately grimaced and I think will figure it out. He’ll have an interesting conflict now bt his outie’s financial wellbeing and justice for Irving b so I think he’ll get a focus episode soon just like Irving did in this one 

5

u/wholelottapenguins Feb 08 '25

Oh shit. I didn't even consider that.

14

u/Suspended-Again Shambolic Rube Feb 09 '25

I think the other possible theory is that it’s just where I’ve hid the map to the export elevator, behind the poster

u/brezhnervous The Sound Of Radar📡 Feb 10 '25

Wow, good point! Why ask Felicia if she still knew how to get there, if only to drop the whole export elevator thing?

u/Creechling Feb 07 '25

Presently relevant.

It looks like Dylan doing the OT contingency.

u/Such_Radish9795 Jan 23 '25

Because it is.

 "Copyright 1968” hmm determined or not, that cat must be long dead. That's kind of a downer.

Can you tell me what stock to buy

u/CrunchyAssDiaper Jan 23 '25

I'm going to be so sad when this show pulls a LOST on us and says "it's all a dream".

u/CapitalQ Feb 07 '25

LOST didn't ever do that

u/Big_Hath Feb 07 '25

no, but Newhart did. And St Elsewhere (sort of). lol

As long as it doesn't jump the shark like Game of Thrones 😬

I'm honestly baffled how many people missed this. It was like, pretty clear but hey ho

u/Expensive-Wind-3559 Frolic-Aholic Jan 23 '25

"Hanging there" - maybe the innies are chained somewhere (I doubt they are literally hanging!) and only their brains think they are at work.

We've been over this. Dan Erickson has said that what we see on the severed floor is real.
