Curious as to why Gilfoyle doesn't just go back to quitting.

Maybe Jack blackballs them in the industry. Let's slip that his engineer team tried to mutiny(hey another show reference!) and nobody will hire them. All the recruitment stops, which actually works out in Richard's favour since now his team can't leave and they're free to do their double secret omega bluff.

1) He tripped right in front of the group of people most likely to go whining to daddy (which is literally anyone in the office not part of the core cast).
2) They apparently printed "SKUNKWORKS" right at the top of the page because that's the first thing the guy read.
3) The one that no one has mentioned apparently: Richard trips because he's distracted by Jared's really, really off-color joke, which itself is completely out of place because up until then he was actually killing it with the chain insults at Dinesh. Even without the historical and movie references that back it up, that moment was so out-of-place in a show where the comedy and awkwardness are so tightly performed that it just doesn't FEEL like it's being played straight.

4) (my favourite little catch so far) Elrich mentions gaining the janitor as an ally in the previous episode.

The fish tank was also left in the office. Not sure if there were other fish besides the one that was dead and removed.

The fish probably come with a ridiculous maintenance schedule that Jared will happily take over.

Bighead probably can't join pied piper without forfeiting his contract with Hooli.

However unrealistic, Gavin will see it as a power move and let him keep it all as some sort of parry. Bighead will always fail upwards.

It is quite frankly embarrassing how none of you have picked up on the fact that Richard is clearly the Gohan of this story. How powers don't work until he gets super extra double pissed off and cornered.

It also seemed like in season 1 they were potentially positioning him to be a petty dick who wanted revenge on his friends for pushing him out. But nope he just swung by the 7-11, got a refill, and moved on.

I really liked that episode.


"Access your files without taking up space on your devices" isn't the problem. This is.



Let's Go!

It's both things though since they also showed Richard successfully explaining the other issue to the focus group. I actually find that complicated gordian knot interface the most unbelievable part of the entire thing. Young SV guys in 2016? making a dumbed down giant bubble text/huge logo/2 checkboxes and a submit button splash page should have been their exact first move.

Because he's a passive aggressive rear end in a top hat. He would have come across as the dickhead if he just put his foot down and said "no, we're going to Moffatt" and he's more comfortable being in a position where he's been wronged somehow.

And Jack could easily have done the same thing about his new office. They're both passive aggressive weiners.

Clone high is probably the best concept for a TV show to ever be pitched. The fact that we even got a season is a blessing.


Also you guys are forgetting Mission Hill, which could re-air today and you'd think it was a brand new show. It has aged really well, my favourite animated show of all time. it's one of the few physical pieces of media i own, and I keep it alongside books because thats where it belongs.

So they're going to give free phones to everyone at hoolicon I'm assuming with their algorithm pre-loaded. Remember how pissed people got when they had to have a U2 album on their phone?

But the internet 2.0 is integrated into the PP source code isnt it? Which is now being used in every device that will be running Feldspar's VR demo? Perhaps every Hooli-OS machine? So all they have to do is tell everybody there is a new, faster, free internet, and if you've tried this hot new VR demo it's already on your phones and a government can never censor it or shut it down.

it's like if they managed to backdoor their thing into the newest Android release but it wasn't really done in a shady way, just android overlooking their newly acquired code

I'm pretty sure you do get paid more for being in good (or at least heavily-grossing) movies, but my point was you may not continue to get movie roles if everything you star in is a complete disaster.

True for Tom Cruise types but I don't think TJ Miller is a backend points kinda celebrity, so he just gets a big payday up front regardless of whether Emoji Movie is a smash success or not. And as long as he's a side guy and not a leading man nobody will ever really blame his presence for a movie tanking.
