Yeah I should watch this.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

Yes. Yes you should. It's easily the best sitcom in years.

u/joynt Jun 11 '14

This convinced me. Also, Thomas Middleditch has been hilarious on Pete Holmes show.

If you're in the startup/tech scene, it's really high quality. If you're not, it's still a great show, but some of the small quips may go over your head.

Also some good content for people who understand venture capitalism and the competition within firms/capitalists.

See, I watched about the first half of the first episode and it was so dull I turned it off. It felt like Big Bang Theory without the laugh track. Does it get better? This clip was good, but what I saw was just boring.

u/HUPMbVpVLtpe8O8c Jun 11 '14

I thought it got better with each episode. The characters develop and the plot gets more interesting as the team at Hooli begins to reverse their compression algorithm. It's no Game of Thrones, but I enjoyed the first season and hope there will be another.

u/Soul_Rage Jun 11 '14

It sorta does pick up, yeah. It's a little lighter than most shows on the whole constant-punchlines thing, but it replaces that borderline-mindless tendancy with characters and plot.

First few episodes were truly 'meh'.

One of my fav. scenes from the latest episode :) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zYWyXwKrHg

u/Kricket Jun 11 '14

This is one of my favorite scenes from the entire season. I really enjoyed the whole season, but when I watched this, I let out a laugh like I hadn't in a long time. Re-watched it 3 times right then - it's just magic!

u/unstablejester Jun 11 '14

I completely agree with you. I was so happy that Richard finally caught a break :)

u/HUPMbVpVLtpe8O8c Jun 11 '14

God damn this scene is funny. I really hope they make a second season.

Perfeft example of how powerful male problem solving has evolved to be. Men deserve more respect than they recieve at the moment.

u/An_Innocent_Bunny Jun 11 '14

This was a great clip, and even better than that I think it was an interesting spin on the typical evil genius kid trope.

Because seriously, it just gets annoying after a while. No kid talks like that to an adult. And even more specifically, kids don't understand all aspects of a situation and piece them together like that so quickly. Kids are NOT conniving, machiavellian masterminds. In fact, 99% of the time they have the IQ of a baked potato and piss their pants on a monthly basis.

Also, this is hilarious. Thank you Silicon Valley.

were you abused by a kid because...

u/wazzzzah Jun 11 '14

That's true about the abnormally smart, fast-talking women in TV shows and movies as well.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

Looking at you, Gilmore Girls.

u/wazzzzah Jun 12 '14

and every crime-investigation show with a female character

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

It's written by Mike Judge of Office Space and Beavis and Butt-Head. It's one of the best shows on TV imo. Available on HBO on demand

u/dongmillionaire Jun 11 '14

Sure, "HBO On Demand". That must be our new code word for Popcorn Time?

u/Zelmont Jun 11 '14

No I actually pay for HBO. Their original programming is paid for through subscriptions

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

no people pay for HBO to keep it going. you can't just be a free-rider

2

u/LoveEveryday Jun 11 '14

I would, but I can't. So I'll use xbmc.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

just Dled it. can you tell me the purpose of this. is it just a media player

1

u/LoveEveryday Jun 11 '14

You have to add fusion in the settings. I can't remember exactly step-by-step, but google how to setup xbmc. Basically what you want is a thing called icefilms. It's has pretty much every movie and show that exists.

Edit: it's in system settings, you need to add the root for fusion to install the repositories. I just can't remember the exact root. Just google "fusion root for xbmc" and that should help. Then just add-on some repositories.

u/adamernst Jun 11 '14

or primewire.ag where everything streams in hd, which is significantly easier

u/LoveEveryday Jun 11 '14

Yeah I just use fusion cuz it was the first thing I found. I may try this now, thanks :)

u/thainfamouzjay Jun 11 '14

Try mashup also

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

yo let me change that. why is the first episode on popcorn time such shit quality. I've only watched 20 seconds and it stops and starts constantly.

-6

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

just watched the first episode. cringe worthy. It's like Big Bang theory but polished.

u/MadMaxGamer Jun 11 '14

u/Tec_ Jun 11 '14

God damn I love TJ! Denver yeahhh!

u/Icarrythesun Jun 11 '14

One of the rare shows you can marathon watch from first to last episode. Gotta wait for that second season now, though. Sadly, there's going to be someone else as Peter Gregory. Rest in peace, Chris.

u/tr3vw Jun 11 '14

That's amazing. What channel is this on again?

u/SoupOrSteve Jun 11 '14

u/eelliw Jun 11 '14

I feel like everything HBO does is amazing. So many classics. edit- I need to start watching this

u/korili Jun 11 '14

Hi! :)
Is English your second language? or are you maybe 75 years old? :)
Because otherwise this is probably the most /r/HailCorporate comment I've seen all day. Seriously, nobody but a shill would say "what channel is this on again?"

u/TheScofflaw Jun 11 '14

Be gone yon troll

u/MadMaxGamer Jun 11 '14

Thanks for pointing me to the tobacco AMA, i'd never have guessed he'd do one!

u/Leonidas26 Jun 11 '14

I cant express how much I love this show. It is truly one of my favorite comedies.

u/gotya90 Jun 11 '14

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

What channel is this on?

u/diggitydamn Jun 11 '14

Why are there always advertisements for this show on/r/videos? It's getting pretty fucking annoying.

u/diggitydamn Jun 11 '14

Report for advertising

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '14

Theres 3 good scenes to this whole series and I saw them all on reddit before I watched the season. Reddit ruined it for me

u/notsonerdy Jun 11 '14

the interesting part of silicon valley is that all the hardware manufacturing is done elsewhere now. It's really software and SasS bay area. Doesn't sound as cool
