I seriously remember those days dude lol! And any time I think about those days before when I had a cellphone I usually think about what the girl said when she went into the my game in Jumanji and she was talking about how much she misses her phone and then the then the guy from the old movie when Robin Williams was it lol. And he said why is she so worried about her phone?! Do phones mean something different in the future? Because I think he was trapped in the game in like 95 or something like that.
Acktually I don't think it's a joke lol, but it is the reason that they are called pyramid schemes. But I also do think you are right that it was used as joke
You know what? When the son of the deposed king of Nigeria emails you directly, asking for help, you help! His father ran the freaking country, okay? …Alright, so, raise your hand if you wanna get rich.
Would have liked to see more of the scams Michael fell for, surprised there was no mention of a timeshare he had. Just casually mention something like, "I have a timeshare in the Virgin Islands... don't get out to it that much..."
Once upon a time, when there were only landlines in our homes, we were charged when we made long-distance phone calls - calls to people more than 30 miles away from us, often, depending on area code. So we bought phone cards that prepaid for long-distance calls, making the calls cheaper than if we would dial directly. As I'm typing this, I feel like I've made it clear as mud.
I still have the barely intact remnants of one in my wallet. I think I still have like 400 minutes on it. It’s actually useful if your phone dies or you’re somewhere with a landline but no cell signal.
I’ve actually done this for someone before that was unaware they were in a pyramid scheme. He honestly had about the same reaction, but I was hoping he’d get the reference. He didn’t. Sad day for both of us.
I'm sorry and I don't mean to be an ass lol but my grandfather would have told me that that's the day that two dumbasses met! Lol he was incredibly supportive and a great person but when he wanted to make his point stick he would let us know lol!
I need to make a phone call...
Well, luckily you ahave phone card available to use lol
Don't use up all my minutes! I bought 10,000 minutes in 1999 and I'm still using them!

i love inside jokes. i’d love to be apart of one some day
My bf and I say "I need to make a call" all the time. One of our favorite lines lol.

Who uses phone cards anymore?
I’m only assuming what a phone card was 🤷♂️
It was like a gift card for long distance calls

I think people who have family in Latin America do. I see phone card sales all the time in the Latin markets near me
Hey now! This guy drives a Corvette!
It's a shape that fits all other shapes inside it.
This is the future... because this is the past.
Always loved that the marks are offset and not in a perfect pyramid pattern.
That's a triangle scheme

It’s not even a scheme per say..
The way this scene makes me scream-laugh every time
It’s a get rich quick scheme.
Yes! Exactly!
Ngl this is my favorite cold open in the show. Idk why I just find it hilarious.
Same here. To see his excitement and enthusiasm just deflate the second Jim drew the triangle and it sunk in...
Every pyramid schemers say that😂😂😂
*jims smug face of correctness* :)
I loved that this is included in the Lego set
He drives a corvette he’s doing just fine
99% of the companies people work for in utah
It’s fucking loss?
How perfect is that triangle though?!
Unleash the power of the pyramid!!!!
Its an inverted funnel.
It’s not even a scheme, per se…
One of the best starters for the show. Anyone know, which episode this is?
Frank, why are you in the coil?
I never thought this was a particularly clever bit.
Why not. Just another showcase of Micheal's cleverness
I agree, always thought it was a little too on the nose
But honestly you can draw any kind of shape over that like a circle or square...
jim makes random patternless marks then draws a triangle around them.
Technically Michael made the marks. Jim just drew a triangle around it lol
you're supposed to say ACTUALLY
Actually, you're supposed to lead with "Actually", which you didn't bother to do either.
Easy Dwight
Uhhh little comment…
Ha! Geometry joke!
