I never want to see Thomas Middleditch play an awkward nerd again, he's hilarious as a crazy person

[@mihais1]

Well.... he's also hilarious as an awkward nerd. Silicon Valley (first few seasons) was some of the best comedy i've seen.

pretty hardcore headcanon that doobs just acted along with Amir's force choke in a brazen display of "never say no" in-universe improv and is totally fine.

Okay, sure, but it was a recording so even if he didn’t die they were still interacting through time and space

[@misternotlob6769]

My best explanation is that Doobs aka Smitty aka Mr Goose was trying to play some weird prank on agueerj and pretend to be suffocating, then Aweird saw the tape beforehand and improvved the strangling to mess with jjkae.

When I was watching Wolf of Wallstreet and Thomas was on camera I screamed "DOOBS!" at my brother and we both grinned. Love seeing him do well, he's a really great actor.

[@jonathanbauman2236]

ACTRESSS!

[@paulgastardo827]

I remember this concept was posted by someone in the original video so not mine but... Doobs' line of questioning about the CD ROM drive kind of has some intelligence behind it. He proves that the company uses books and telephones, both oieces of technology that can and in some cases have been replaced with more high tech items (mobile phones and digital documents). So his questions are basically saying: "if you have THESE outdated tech, then why not also a CD ROM drive?"

[@weezact7]

Wait...so, I just realized something about Doobs's audition video. Obviously there's the the fact that Amir strangled him THROUGH TIME (since the video was pre-recorded), but who sent that video in? Who found Doobs, dead in a chair, and thought "I'd better mail this video to these random guys". Unless Doobs didn't die, which is entirely possible. Amir let go of him pretty much as soon as he passed out. He would have started breathing again afterwards, so there's a good chance he did survive. At least, if the video runs on real-life physics, which is in no way guaranteed.

[@animovie1]

11:15 The reason he picks up the phone and points to the book is due to Jake saying CD rom drives are old and out of date so Doobs points to things which too are old and "out of date" which is actually pretty smart and funny on Doobs part.
