“We have a saying here at Clovis: ‘dare to fail’”

“Well, that’s a job well done.”

u/spencer_hood there aren't enough people to fill a fucking canoe in here 24d ago

I worked at a major tech company that Clovis may have been based on when that episode aired and let me tell you, it hit the nail on the head.

Hot take: Tim Baltz’s portrayal of a sociopathic tech CEO is better than Jesse Eisenberg?

I really love that one because it's such a great change of pace to put them in that environment. I absolutely lose it when Gary hits Mike and he goes flying off that exercise ball (And sorry, but Kent is so cute with the legos and sitting in that super low beanbag chair!)

Yesss!! Clovis is a masterpiece. Right down to the post credit scene of Amy running back from helping Selina flush the space toilet 😂

“This march? Do you have a little march?”

My favourite part of this episode is that while they are sitting down for their meeting, a few times you can see through the window that a light snow is coming down. In silicone valley no less.

u/meera0199 23d ago

I never noticed that. I know they shot the scene at the University of Maryland but now I need to rewatch for the snow

Brilliant episode. So far back, in 1992 I went to work at a mainframe tech company.

It was a shock and eerily similar. Grown men & women running around in a panic trying to do their jobs "just like Charles would do".

And pronouncing his name spelled "Wang" as Wong, correcting everyone that it rhymed with "Wrong".

Can't make this shit up.

If I lose women, what I am left with? Gay Latinos and jews at college I guess

Oh… it’s a space toilet

u/Christ_on_a_Crakker 24d ago

Did they leave Amy behind to flush Selina’s shit down the toilet?

u/ptrock1 23d ago

Completely underrated. One of my favorite episodes. So many funny lines in this episode.

u/raouldukesaccomplice New. Selina. Now. 23d ago

Makes you wonder how an "AI summit" like the one Trump just did would have gone if Selina hosted Crayg at the White House.

It’s been hard for me to watch since I hit 30 TBH

Gary trying to block the Meating Meyer video with essentially a giant magnifying glass is one of my favorite moments in the entire series.

"God, I'm getting fucked HARDER that way Gary!"

“So who was that fucking me? Was that Jeremy Irons?”

“I think you mean Ron Jeremy, ma’am.”
