Best show on TV right now by a long shot.

My favorite comedy since The Office and favorite show since Breaking Bad.

Plus Mike Judge

quote:

Partially inspired by co-creator Mike Judge's experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the 1980s, this comedy series follows the misadventures of introverted computer programmer Richard and his brainy friends as they attempt to strike it rich in a high-tech gold rush. They live together in a Bay Area startup incubator loosely run by self-satisfied dot-com millionaire Erlich, who lets them stay in his house rent-free in exchange for a stake in the projects they invent there.

The SWOT board and the dick jerking algorithm scenes are 2 of the most well written scenes I have ever scene.

Early or late to the game it doesn't matter. At least he got there. Great. Show. Wish it was an hour long per episode! Gilfoyle/Dinesh banter is GOLD. Erlich's verbal and physical assault on the kid last season was one of the funniest things I've seen on TV. You just brought piss to a shite fight

Kind of the point of this thread but it also only halfway through season 2

I'd seen it mentioned on the board but I don't remember seeing it in any of the "what show should I watch next" threads

The SWOT board


quote:

STRENGTHS

UGLY CAN CAR BLOOD SOAKED AND TOTALLED

BLAINE IS DEAD

BLAINE IS NO LONGER ALIVE

SAVES ASSHOLES FROM MAKING MISTAKES IN MATH

DEATH CAPTURED IN HIGH-RESOLUTION SLOW MOTION; HOLDS UP ON REPEATED VIEWINGS

ONE LESS GUY NAMED BLAINE

WEB TRAFFIC GOES VIRAL

BLAINE’S LAST MOMENT IS REALIZING HIS FACE IS GONE

AS A GIANT DOUCHE, BLAINE TORMENTED ETERNALLY IN HELL

A DEAD BLAINE IS A BLAINE THAT CAN’T REPRODUCE

BLAINE SHITS PANTS FROM FEAR, PANTS DISCOVERED UPON DEATH

SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

IMPRESS HOT SATANIST CHICKS BY BOASTING ABOUT BLAINE’S DEATH (GILFOYLE ONLY)

AFTER HITTING BUILDING, FLAT BILL OF CAP MIGHT ACTUALLY BEND

WEAKNESSES

BLAINE DIES SUPER FAST

GINA MARRIES BLAINE IN HOSPITAL OUT OF GRIEF

GINA KILLS SELF OUT OF GRIEF

GINA ENTERS CONVENT OUT OF GRIEF

UNFORTUNATE WINDOW WASHERS MUST CLEAN BLOOD OFF BUILDING

BLAINE’S BLOOD HAS AIDS AND GETS ON KIDS

BLAINE DIES SLOW BUT WE CAN’T SEE IT BECAUSE ONLY FAMILY ALLOWED IN HOSPITAL

BUILDING IS STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED

BLAINE’S FUNERAL TELEVISED; PREEMPTS “STAR TREK: TNG” MARATHON

PEOPLE WEAR T-SHIRTS WITH BLAINE’S FACE ON THEM

OPPORTUNITIES

GINA NEEDS CONSOLING

F— GINA?

BIRDS GET TO EAT PIECES OF BLAINE

CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCED BY ONE BLAINE

GRIEF THREESOME WITH GINA & BLAINE’S HOT MOM?

BLAINE’S ORGANS HARVESTED FOR HOT GIRLS WITH CANCER WHO THEN GRATITUDE-F— US

DEFECATING ON BLAINE’S GRAVE

DIGGING UP BLAINE’S GRAVE, DISHONORING REMAINS AGAIN

DEATH LEADS TO REGULATIONS ON STUNT INDUSTRY – LIVES SAVED

DISHONORING BLAINE’S REMAINS BY PUTTING FUNNY HAT ON BODY, DRAGGING IT BEHIND CAR

URINATING ON BLAINE’S GRAVE

TAKE HIS WALLET AND SHOES IF NOT TOO BLOODY

MASTURBATING ON BLAINE’S GRAVE

EJACULATION

THREATS

AFTER THIS, NOTHING IS EVER AS MUCH FUN AGAIN

VENGEFUL BLAINE SUPPORTERS ACCUSE US OF CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE

OVER TIME GINA BECOMES MORE CLINGY AND LESS HOT

PEOPLE FIND OUT AND IN YOUTUBE DEATH VIDEO, WE GET FLAMED IN THE COMMENTS SECTION

GUILT (DINESH ONLY)

WE CAN ONLY WATCH HIM DIE ONCE

INVESTIGATION AND TRIAL SETS BACK PIED PIPER BUILD

PHILZ COFFEE CLOSES FOR A DAY TO HONOR BLAINE’S MEMORY

I enjoy this show tremendously. I truly like all the main characters on their own merit.

Haven't got on to the series thread here yet but binged this show a couple weeks ago and am a huge fan.

Love the quip exchanges they have. Jared cracks me up.

Only thing is I'm just waiting for the payoff for all the bad things that keep happening to them. When nucleus froze up last week I was like hell yeah score one for the good guys then the energy drink and end game thing comes along I'm like shite!

Oh and the SWOT analysis on Blaine dying is gold.

It's a good show, but you guys are going overboard with your praise, IMO.

Great job on the compilation, but you're missing at least the upper left, 2 Strengths:

Blaine severs jugular and bleeds to death - last thought is realizing math is wrong

Fulfilling "What Would Satan Do?"



Interesting that is the only "Satan" one that does not caveat "Gilfoyle only"

Nothing that has created as awesome a character as Jared could ever be overrated. His "pivot" scenes in the finale last year still make me laugh out loud in public at random moments. Also, his line last night about how he booby-trapped the house with business tools...
