Silicon Valley - Middle Out Scene S01E08

This is the most funniest scene in S01 lol.

[@pbdye1607]

I love how the subject matter is so engaging that Jared, even sleep-deprived, is rendered sober enough to offer a salient point.

[@Izawwlgood]

And despite hating Jared, because his point is valid, they all seriously consider it.

[@screech5360]

Yeah, absolutely David.

[@Craven2388]

Yes. Perfect comedy

[@arthurlodbrock2549]

I am a programmer, and it is so cool how the authors of the show depicted spontaneous desire to optimize some action. I think, it seems familiar for many it engineers. Love this show

[@dustingaddis2423]

As an engineer I can confirm that we all love this scene.

[@intratrading9211]

As an engineer and a nerd i can confirm that this is the best scene ever from any fucking series

[@ISCARI0T]

Had a middle out moment last night. I doubt I’ll be militarizing any rats, but these industrial robots are about to perform the Texas Two Step. 😊

[@siphillis]

Not only hilarious, not only relates back to the plot, but each member contributes to the solution in a character-appropriate way. It's genius-level writing.

[@AndreInfanteInc]

This was the scene where the show peaked for me. Along with being hilarious, if you've ever spent time with engineers, it also hits incredibly close to home.

[@gogl0l386]

Ironically one of the most realistic engineering scenes in Hollywood. Like not the topic obviously, but how they take a problem and break it down into smaller pieces that can be analyzed mathematically. This on par with the scene from Apollo 13 honestly.

Best scene ever!!!

[@djross95]

Amen to that!

[@gabkov]

I can't describe how hard i laughed when i first saw it. I want to experience it again for the first time 😂

[@geniosityfilms]

The Genius-drama musical score really sells this scene. Like Good Will Hunting or Beautiful Mind solving some theorem. They even included the classic trope of writing on glass surface

[@sgtgiggles]

Don’t forget, “The Imitation Game”

[@gunnernaut]

Their whole success was thanks to Erlich and Dinesh who just wouldn’t let the jerk problem go quiet into that good night

[@Tara_Sutar]

I cannot tell who is smartest/obsessive in this scene. I mean not just erlich or Dinesh or gilfoyle or Jared. Everyone contributed to the programme. But the most important thing is d2f (shaft angle). If the d2f is different during each stroke. Erlich should be in real control of his action(the programme written by Richard should be complex or smart enough) Like, trying to rotate one hand, in clockwise and other in anti clockwise direction. Seems easy, I myself can do it but it is difficult unless you figure out how to do it. Lol, I am drunk. Lol girth similarity is another variable to add now. I am drunk. Hahaha

[@Zer0-0]

But Jared was the first one to use the key phrase "middle out"

[@em_dee10]

I love this scene, it gives everybody some credit in the creation of "middle out".

[@brandonoburu8003]

TJ Miller's 'otherwise am wasting a lot of great stroke on a guy that is already busted' got me 😂😂

[@VivekYadav-ds8oz]

You know what's funny? This is exactly how you would go about optimising the jerk problem, like it's very methodical and scientific holy shit 😂

[@VivekYadav-ds8oz]

@Daniel Kintigh Damn you must be lucky. Pro coder that manages the whole codebase so y'all can drink and chill 24/7 LOL

[@jamaaljohnson3937]

I think I remember hearing they actually consulted with expert programmers to get this pretty accurate. Apparently even all the data on the whiteboards are legit.

[@_GandalfTheGrey_]

Like…ikr?! Like.

[@sourandbitter3062]

@@jamaaljohnson3937 they wrote a real scientific paper on it

[@pizzajona]

It doesn’t really optimize anything though because the TTO of middle out jerking would still be the same as regular joking. They’re saying you can jerk 2 dicks tip to tip in the same time it takes to jerk 1 but that’s not true unless the sensitivity of the tips touching decrease TTO by half.

[@JayTel323]

This... This is how we went to the moon. Mathematical teamwork

[@luckys1evin]

They missed out a crucial factor. The tip to floor distance isn't sufficiently reliable, as tumescence varies on level of arousal. There's an initial start up time to get to fully aroused. There needs to be a method to cycle out other guys after orgasm, as they won't always go at the same time.
