It is unquestionably one of the greatest scenes in the history of comedic narrative.

The show absolutely died when TJ Miller left. I tried to watch a couple episodes after he was off the show and it Sony had no juice.

Shame, too. HBO Sunday night programming used to be unreal. Now, I don't even know the network exists.

Still my favorite scene from any TV show. I remember the first time I watched it I nearly passed out from laughing so much I forgot to catch my breath.

I think I need to watch through this next

“How would you like to die today, mother fricker?”

That shite was so out of left field I was laughing my arse off. Funny this thread came up. I just finished a rewatch a few weeks ago.

Nah, Gavin was the best character. His “Signature Box” had me rolling.

That show was super frustrating. Always just about to strike it rich and when they ever got success, finding a way to ruin it.

Richard should have sold his algorithm that first episode. He got offered 20M. He probably could have negotiated double that. He would be set for life. Besides IMO, his employer owned it anyway. I never got how he owned something, as a programmer, he created while he was employed with that company. They deserved a share at least..

Just started watching this show and completed the first season. Some great scenes so far but I laughed the hardest at the jerk off algorithm and when Gilfoyle told Dinesh that he was gay for Gilfoyle’s code. Both were in the last episode of season 1.

That's the whole premise of season 2. There was an illegal clause in Hooli's employment contract that rendered his employment null & void retroactively.

I don't know if that's sound contract law, but that's how the show resolved it
