Scruffy, bearded Zach Woods and Erlich beating a child are the only things that sort-of managed to redeem my night after the absolutely majestic shitshow that was Mad Men, so thanks for that, Silicon Valley.

No, that is an actual line that somebody said on…I think it was either CSI or SVU. A character actually did claim to be accessing a suspect's webcam by "creating a GUI."
It saddens me to know that there are people in this thread who are going to think that's parody dialogue.
Bloody Face—oh, wait.
Oh, damn. Well, I wouldn't put it past Murphy not to remember that either, so we may see her yet.
Whatever happened to Pepper from Asylum? I don't remember, but it would be kind of funny if she showed up two seasons later as the circus pinhead. I can just picture Murphy all red-faced and screaming "You want continuity? I'LL GIVE YOU FUCKS CONTINUITY."
You know what, I had completely blocked the "I can't stop cumming" scene from my memory until now. I hereby retract any vague defense I may have made of this turd. Grandma's Boy is awful.
I think part of its charm is that you need to know absolutely nothing about video game design to realize how utterly wrong it all is. It's almost fun to sit there and count all the glaring errors. Or something.
Why can't Joan be raw about Jaguar for both reasons? It's not like they're mutually exclusive. The one just exacerbates the other.
*slaps you* HIS WIFE'S NAME IS MONA.
I can see what you mean there. I do feel like they're more conflicted about it than people seem to think they are, though, or at least Peggy is. Joan tends to be much more…internal than Peggy, and she likes to present a ruthless front when she feels like her position is being threatened (which Don's return does, for…
Joan, Pete and Bert were all set to take the company public and earn millions of dollars, but then Don shit the bed with Jaguar and that was the end of that plan.
I do get that the St. Joseph's campaign is bound up with her Ted issues and that their inappropriate relationship caused a lot of problems with it; I don't mean to make it sound like I think Peggy's ire over it has nothing at all to do with Ted, because I know it does.
Also for deliberately screwing her out of any credit for the Rosemary's Baby campaign, which she was hoping to get a Clio nomination for. I think she's angrier about that, especially after last episode.
Just because there are exceptions doesn't mean it isn't a useful concept, though. It's like the Bechdel test. It's not always useful on an individual level, but it's important for analysis of wider social trends.
I keep hoping and praying that one Sunday I'll turn on the TV and the mustache will be magically gone, but that hope wanes further and further the closer we get to the 70s.
It's really a matter of what different kinds of privilege can do for you. Yeah, sure, Willow Smith is going to be better off overall than an economically-disadvantaged black man, but that black man isn't going to suffer from sexism in the same ways she does—her wealth and fame can't shield her from that. (Although…
Well, someone probably had to shampoo that pee out of the carpet.
Because it gets kind of tiring and unpleasant to watch a show about a dick like Don Draper who gets unlimited chances to fuck things up and treat people terribly, and THEN be expected to come online after every episode and talk down all the people who are rooting for him and think he's totally entitled to everything…
If there's one good skill to have on the internet, it's how to quickly differentiate the people who can actually be debated with from the lost-cause brick walls. Granted, we were dismissing him even before he whipped out the terms "libs" and "white guilt," but our instincts were correct.
