Californication | Hank Insults His Date (S1, E1) | SHOWTIME

[@lastman4853]

Meet these washed up party girls all the time now. They wouldn't look at you in your 20s, but the clock starts ticking and all of a sudden they're interested in you. I not as mean as Hank. I let them down gently.

[@dantenewyork7380]

sure pal

[@ParksMiller]

lol

[@lobsterdfw1]

Sure you do 👍

[@DigitalBath306]

in your dreams maybe

[@clacclackerson3678]

You're so important

[@guppetto]

This show was really amazing the first few seasons. The writing was fantastic, and the women were really beautiful. I'll never forget his best line. "It was the best of times, if only someone had told me. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned. My family goes on without me, while I drown in a sea of pointless pussy.I don’t know how I got here, but here I am, rotting away in the warm California sun. There are things I need to figure out, for her sake at least. The clock is ticking, the gap is widening. She won’t always love me no matter what."

[@evanrohde5521]

Iconic af super deep best writing ever that's why this is my favorite show of all time always will be Entourage is close second

[@GinoU21]

Thanks to these videos I have been rewatching the whole series. Forgot how great it was.

[@evanrohde5521]

how could you forget best writing ever

[@ceofounder]

Super cool and hilariously funny series!

[@shakey2634]

Never saw this show. I’ve known several a-holes like him. They all died young and alone. No interest in watching a show that mimics that.

[@tatakae1981]

Hank’s “She asked for it” = Jack Reacher’s “Remember…You wanted this.”

[@james5460]

He said the stuff you wished you had said after she wound up dumping you. The only difference is that he wouldn't have been at all remorseful afterward.

[@joso5554]

Hank has great intuition about boring desperate women. She took a chance but the game was way too risky for her to handle.

[@cleatusbarncoat8642]

She wasn’t Hank’s type, but that was no reason to be so cruel.

[@robertochu5337]

there nothing cruel on what he said, she asked him for honesty he gave it to her....

[@0rnery0verwatch]

He doesn't need a reason, that's the point of the scene (or one of them) I think.

[@Keith-d2j]

Didn't he tell her twice she didn't want it? Didn't his 2 friends also warn her. She was ignorant and insistent and folks who are both are given exactly the level of pain that helps them grow into more worthy adults...IMO

[@DigitalBath306]

this show aged badly tbh

[@Marrriagesshoudexpireevery4yrs]

Not cruel. Women like her want you to see the illusion and not the woman. Hank was accurate. She didn’t retort because he was so accurate there was nothing to say.

[@JohnHoulgate]

I think she really wanted to like him.

[@Pelerin985]

That scene is very similar to the one in the first Sherlock movies with Robert Downey jr

[@OrientalClassicalCharm]

I love this music 😻🙏🏼 is so beautiful,it relaxes my soul💖

[@UpfulWarrior]

We are all Hank

[@davidgangemi3314]

She did ask for it It would have been cruel otherwise

[@REB4444]

The only funny thing about this scene is that women want a guy that isn't really interested in her too much. They are all over a "successful" guy like this & ignore the good men because it's not a challenge...that is until they are in their 30s-40s and suddenly their biological clock starts ticking & start getting desperate.

[@DigitalBath306]

man when i was 16 i thought this was the coolest thing ever lmao its so corny actually

[@clacclackerson3678]

I never watched it back then. It seems to be garbage.

[@maxhamman]

ohhh... i think you've just triggerd my "Californication" nerve. 6th time with the Moodys

[@ppumpkin3282]

She did ask for it.

[@rg2613]

damn, that was rough

[@GardenCelluloids]

I thought he sounded like Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad

[@worms1]

hank hank hank what are you trying to do?

[@baseballsux2]

Get rid of her. But it didn’t work. She comes crawling back, begging for more.

[@Mexisio22]

Females...

[@sourabhtiwri]

name of the girl

[@LassaizFaire]

5 p's...maybe ,6 whose counting?! Prior planning, etc

[@hd-xc2lz]

Such fake dinner conversation, conflict crammed into every line. Why do we accept such soapy, formulaic writing?

[@alansmithy7930]

Cope.

[@JJSeattle]

Writer was great...go home, honey, sleep it off, tomorrow's another day.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@JJSeattle That's not the work of a single writer, "zinger fest" is always a group product.... honey.

[@0rnery0verwatch]

It's not often you run into them, but there are jaded individuals like Hank out there speaking their mind at the most inopportune times. You love em or hate em.

[@hieroprotoganist3440]

Never had conflicts in dinner?

[@Perdidoeilluminated]

Gato...😅

[@johnvalencia7488]

The bald character was in Mad Max Thunderdome. No?

[@JakeBor]

No.

[@hughmcaloon6506]

David Duchovny's body language in this scene... wow. It tells you right off that nothing good's coming. Boozy weave, condescending look on his face... oof.

[@shakey2634]

What was the actresses name?

[@MovieFanatic2024]

Amy Price-Frances

[@bigtim3393]

Amy price Frances

[@Cybrix]

Pretend Brian Griffin is delivering Hank's dialogue. Not so cool anymore, is it?

[@MM-rr1kp]

never saw this series, didnt miss much

[@bobs2809]

What ridiculous dialog..

[@clacclackerson3678]

Agree!

[@sefutho]

He must have touched a nerve I think 🤔 A few of them to be exact

[@cblse]

That was unpleasant. I don't like that guy. I haven't any interest in finding out what happens next.

[@GizmoMaltese]

I didn't watch the show. I saw parts of a few episodes. He's a drunk, writer, college professor who bangs students.

[@ufonomicon]

Same. I didn’t like him as Mulder and I don’t like as whatever he is now.

[@Mexisio22]

Damn, I guess he read you too.

[@cjsmith8319]

Calm your tits and don’t watch it. Problem solved.

[@V-zf6cs]

That's unfortunate. I'm sure Duchovny would trade his $100 million for a better opinion from you.

[@humanrightsadvocate]

The weakness he exuded from every pore was nauseating. He felt so threatened, I almost felt ashamed to be the same sex as him. But then I remembered, this is how Hollywood thinks smart people talk.

[@victordasilva5255]

We got us a Beta.

[@bexo34]

Who tf talks like this?

[@humanrightsadvocate]

@@victordasilva5255 Ah, the classic “Beta” label-because when in doubt, slap a simplistic, outdated hierarchy onto human behavior, right? It’s always amusing when someone resorts to the Alpha/Beta dichotomy as if it's a scientific measure of someone’s worth or strength. Let’s dissect this a little, shall we? First off, this whole "Alpha vs. Beta" narrative is about as useful as using astrology to predict stock prices. It’s a reductive view of human behavior, born from a misinterpretation of animal studies that have since been debunked even in the animal kingdom. Yet, here we are, still throwing these labels around like they somehow encapsulate someone’s entire identity. Newsflash: human strength-whether emotional, intellectual, or physical-doesn’t boil down to a simplistic ranking system. Now, on to your actual point-or lack thereof. You’re calling someone a "Beta" for expressing discomfort or recognizing insecurity? Interesting. I suppose in your world, real strength is suppressing all emotion, pretending you're invulnerable, and not admitting to any weakness? That’s not strength; that’s a façade. True strength is the ability to recognize vulnerabilities, adapt, and grow from them-not to posture behind macho buzzwords. So if acknowledging and critiquing weakness makes me a “Beta” in your eyes, then I guess I’ll wear that label proudly. Because at the end of the day, I’d rather be someone who thinks critically and evolves than someone clinging to an outdated social script.

[@humanrightsadvocate]

@@bexo34 Ah, the “Who tf talks like this?” critique-a timeless classic for dismissing more nuanced or expressive writing. Let’s dig into it, shall we? It’s clear from your response that my choice of words and expressions might have struck you as somewhat unusual. But let’s not rush to judge the style or substance before considering the context. The language I used was deliberately crafted to convey a specific sentiment: the deep discomfort and disapproval towards a particular portrayal of weakness. Such expressions are not meant for casual conversation but rather to evoke a strong reaction and provoke thought. Your reaction suggests a preference for more straightforward, less embellished language. That’s fair, but it’s worth noting that different contexts call for different styles of communication. Just as a thriller might use intense, dramatic language to heighten suspense, or a comedy might rely on wit and understatement, certain discussions may benefit from more expressive and evocative language. So, if my style feels alien to you, it might be an invitation to broaden the scope of your reading or engagement. Not everyone communicates in plain terms, and sometimes, the richness of language serves to deepen the impact of the message. Rather than dismissing a style as “who tf talks like this?” it might be more enriching to explore why different voices and expressions exist and what they aim to achieve. After all, the variety in language is what makes discourse vibrant and multifaceted.

@@humanrightsadvocate it’s either AI, or you just might suck a mean dick. Hope that’s eloquent enough for ya. 😜

[@muskykingjoe]

she was out of his league anyway.

[@baseballsux2]

Is that why she went crawling back, begging for some Hank meat?

[@j.d.panalagao2167]

And he ended up hittin it anyway.
