Also, if you haven't seen it, watch TJ Miller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6jsjTVeJYk poo poo all over the Crunchies. They hired him to host a Silicon Valley Awards Ceremony but didn't realize that the show is actually mocking them.

LMAO, skip to 2:10, new slogans: "Spotify: You don't pay anything, because we don't pay anyone. Lyft: We get it, you're not rich enough to afford Uber."

Loved the episode. That final scene had me cracking up. I like the potential direction that this season has. The fact that I feel so bad for the guys and their product when in reality, they aren't exactly likeable, the setting is fantastical, it's a comedy and it's a pretty shallow premise is testament to how well crafted it is.

I'd love to have some more female characters introduced into the show though. The boss is a start (although who knows whether we will see that character again now anyway) but I'd love to have (another) female join the Pied Piper guys officially.

You seriously think a guy who hasn't had a successful new project in 20 years will have written scripts for a second season for a brand new non-animated show six months before the first episode airs? To the point that he would have been unwilling to re-write a character because it wouldn't fit his creative vision?

It's clear he was forced to do massive re-writes and edits during the first season when Welch passed away, and that Welch's replacement character was intentionally crafted to play off the similarities of her predecessor and subvert the expectations we have of her as a result.

Bro.

A lot of these "HR" meetings are usually scheduled for 30 minutes or whatever on the calendar and end up taking way longer because people in general are poo poo at giving presentations and just read off their 45 page PowerPoint that they were totally going to finish in the scheduled 30 minutes. In these meetings yeah I leave when the allotted time left because I actually do have other stuff to do and I planned my day/workload with the assumption that this meeting would take 30 minutes. A lot of presenters are also going to say "man these guys just left before I was even half done!" But those guys actually left when they were suppose to.

Or yeah people just don't see the value in listening to someone read line by line what the PowerPoint says and leave early.

Both probably.

LMAO

The song is even more hilarious when you realize they're miming to a RHCP sample.
