Thomas Middleditch: "Silicon Valley's" Jerk Off Code Was Mathematically Correct | CONAN on TBS

[@slaytura]

The ONLY bad thing about Silicon Valley is its length. Its terribly short. Everything else is simply amazing!

[@salimalbitar]

I wouldn't call it short..

[@S1RT0RTUR3]

Its 6 seasons

[@ashwinbabu1426]

@@S1RT0RTUR3 but each season is only 8 or 10 episodes, while each episode is less than 30 minutes

[@keshavkasat9465]

And the last episode

[@alesksander]

U cannot get over mean watch time. :D

[@BRBallin1]

Silicon Valley is the type of show that Big Bang Theory failed to be. Uses wittier jokes and is more in touch with reality than BBT.

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

TBBT didn't fail, because it's not trying to be like Silicon Valley. It doesn't try to be more grounded in reality, it's a sitcom. Plus the two networks they're on are completely different. With networks like HBO you almost always expect to see better quality television. Commercials don't cut into the run time and they have bigger budgets.

[@ChristinaCurley1991]

Agreed, big bang is such trash

[@ritviktaneja9596]

It failed as a sitcom too. It's Always Sunny is way better in that regard.

[@Mshagy02]

BRBallin1 true

[@PrashantSamlal]

tbbt tries so hard to be clever but it's just NOT funny at all

[@jerusdc]

The "jerk to" ratio was the best episode ever, So hilarious.

[@alleyway]

they didn't take into account circumcised men vs. not

[@RickSanchez-ee2yv]

Big Bang theory put a lot of effort into making their math correct because they're finished the scripts within a few minutes.

[@DaggetDoofus]

Script, you say? Also, it's not like the math in TBBT has any context to it or any connection to the plot, it's just sitting there on the board. Most overrated show on TV.

[@Trazynn]

Just a bunch of people reading out a pop-culture reference generator list.

[@Ayanislucky]

Funny because I always thought that Silicon Valley is a better version of Big Bang Theory.

[@Trazynn]

Silicon Valley has more sinister backstabbing and plotting than Game of Thrones.

[@Delta-ei7im]

Lol

[@alwindsor7299]

Silicon Valley is hands down the best comedy on TV right now

[@giannis5250]

That would be Veep.

[@alwindsor7299]

+souarli krok Veep has been around for longer and while it's clever, I don't think it holds a candle to the story in Silicon Valley

[@giannis5250]

If you ever watched veep you would know that that doesn't make sense. Veeps comedic dialogue is undoubtedly the very best there is on tv right now. Even though I also love silicon valley and have seen every episode the day it aired since the first one.

[@alwindsor7299]

+souarli krok I guess it's a matter of opinion, I for one enjoy Veep for the characters but overall, as far as political comedies go, it's beat by beat with plot. Silicon Valley manages to surprise me time and time again.

[@IDieHardForever]

yup - Veep is more laugh-a-second.... both excellent

[@BenjiSzucs]

"I almost got the cure for cancer. HOLD ON! Silicon Valley Jerk-Off Code!"

[@velianlodestone1249]

I just love how Conan was like "Dude, this wasn't where I wanted to go with this" and Thomas just goes on and make it even worse. Hilarious.

[@turtleguy5758]

[@WhySooSerious0]

chili24137 How is he 'almost identical'? Have you seen the show? Do you see him in the show this out-going and funny? He's awkward funny in the show. You couldn't be more wrong.

[@anotherdepressedmusician]

Ron Burgundy He's not "almost identical", but this video was pretty awkward at some parts (2:53). You can seem him fidgeting with his hands on the armrests because he's pretty nervous it seems.

I'll never forget the first time I saw that moment in the episode. I was laughing my ass off at how genius that joke was and was shocked that it didn't get nominated for "Outstanding Penis Joke in an HBO Series".

[@cosmick9463]

[@raenastra]

The only detail that didn't make sense was when they deleted all that data from the server during the download by simply holding the delete key.

[@letters_from_paradise]

Debashis Biswas What, that makes so much sense! Did you not know Steve Jobs deleted the first iOS because he fell asleep on the delete button?

[@tjeulink]

i mean its unconventional but its not improbable. these guys are all newbies to the scene, they have no idea what they are doing most of the time. the startup game is just dumb luck with a baseline of skill and thats what the show is trying to portray.

You let Richard Hendricks slip out a little there at 1:45

[@josephbarus1229]

I totally get this, I am a nurse and TV and Movies never get medical scenes right. The closest I ever saw was ER, who had an actual medical consultant for the code scenes.

Thomas Middleditch's just being himself on silicon valley !

[@Pajablanca531]

No he's so awkward he can barely function on the show and in real life he is a comical genius.

[@asifsba1]

In case anyone hasn't already said it, I found this video titillating.

[@JH-ee5xv]

That’s one way to express yourself

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

Just so it's clear, that person does watch the show, and the comment was a quote from the show.

You get mad on spaces vs tabs =_= I use spaces

[@anthonylopez1721]

It's all the same tho in the end.

[@IDieHardForever]

I literally had this exact argument with my boss about week before that episode.

[@joeanti-governmentjones9463]

The compiler ignores blankspace, but pressing tab once is meant to replace having to press space 5-8 times. And if you want to undo the indentation with spaces, you'd have to press backspace the number of times you pressed space.

[@danafb8979]

this guy's is pretty funny

[@cameodamaneo]

Not really. It's the audience's reactions that make him seem funny.

Great improv!!

[@x12624]

Silicon Valley and TBBT are the only two Amercian shows that I ever watched, and that too, only recently. I liked TBBT, but Silicon Valley is the best, the whole setup looked real, funnier and shot in the 21st century. The characters are amazing, with Erlich, Jian Yang, Gilfoyle being the funniest, the other characters did an amazing job too.

[@beanhope8739]

I love Thomas lol

[@strikeforcealpha9343]

[@dhruvyadwadkar]

Is it just me who feels season 3 is slightly underwhelming than the first two?

[@ArchAngelSlayer1]

I sort of felt that way but last episode was really good. I like the fact that Jared has way more lines it feels like. He's been cracking me up. Seeing TJ Miller in that unicorn costume was hilarious as well.

[@KhaPiano]

+ArchAngelSlayer1 That Gilfoyle-jacket scene in the coffee shop cracked me up

[@ArchAngelSlayer1]

+Kha Yeah that was great. I liked the server room scene from the first episode of the season. Jared making fun of Dinesh's gold chain was probably the highlight so far though.

[@FungusMossGnosis]

Jared became my favorite character a while back. I wonder when Richard's company explodes if that Hooli guru that catered to Gavin and Bighead will try to tag onto Richard. That might not work. Some of the writing this season is coming off as half-baked. I wish they'd just commit to either realist satire (like _Enlightened_) or something more slapstick (like _The IT Crowd_).

[@jnightmare0]

it's just you bro the season was phenomenal

[@samyakjain5015]

Anyone watch Middleditch And Schwartz yet?

[@Tetsujin-28]

Every time I see Tom M. he's wearing that shirt.

[@JaxLittles]

Those who believe that TBBT isn't grounded in reality since the "nerds/geeks" are low key bullies have never actually been part of that community or a female gamer. Zac types truly do bully less and really are bullied more by the people who complain about getting bullied.
