Silicon Valley (HBO show)

I thought this season started out a bit slow but really picked up these last couple of episodes. The main dude was on Bill Maher a few weeks ago and I don't think the super nerd routine is much of an act.

Definitely my favorite comedy on tv right now.
 
Jared busting on Dinesh for the gold chain was my top moment of the season. Possibly of the series.
 
This season has been gold. The Oceans 11 episode had the best ending

For whatever reason Erlich ignoring the sidewalk and trampling through the shrubbery at BigHead incubator had me rolling. Love this show

I'm really not sure if I've ever laughed as hard at any other TV moment. What he says right before Richard trips was perfect.

Yeah, that one was great. Zach Woods does a fantastic job, being that one type.
 
I love the show and this season has been entertaining but its nowhere close to first two seasons. Ehrlich has become a caricature instead of a character... every scene is an effort to take him over the top from the scene that preceded it. Same thing happened to Dwight on The Office only it took 4 or 5 seasons there, where the personality "quirks" have been so badly exaggerated they are no longer believable. Friends (overrated show but my wife loved it) was truly awful at the end for the same reason..characters were no longer "real" people. The Jian Yang character is terrible and predictable and Big Head's cluelessness has also reached non-believable heights. We have gotten nothing this season remotely close to the jerk-off joke or the motocross SWOT analysis...two of the finest moments in comedy of this century.
 
This show is awesome. The scene with the bulldog in the last episode was more gold than Dillon Fence's chain. ;)

OK, that's a valid criticism I think, but I'm not sure Ehrlich was ever as believable a character as you're giving him credit for being.

And only he could pull off, "Bachman Capital. Because I provide the name, and Big Head provides the capital."
 
Show is great, I don't know if the jack off scene will ever be topped though
 
Love the show but I think Big Head is far and away the worst character. I kind of thought the creator agreed with me when they pushed him way out on the periphery seemingly to let the actor run out his contract but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
