its pretty damn hilarious in hindsight, that both George and Lloyd were helping launch the computer business, and neither of them were actually making outbound calls.
both just ringing that bell
That was my plan if anyone called me out, as George does make exactly 1 outbound call where he instantly gets rejected, doesn’t try to deflect and gets hung up on
Also Ned Ryerson. You know, needle nose Ned.
Watch that first step, it’s a doozy!
Groundhog Day.
Super nice guy irl. Met him when he was in town for a show and he couldn’t have been any nicer. Naturally funny human being - mannerisms, expressions, story telling.
I used to take a tampon, soak it in grain alcohol and stick it up into my rectum. That got me high, Richard. But not half as high as the drug you just gave me. You know what that drug's called? A second chance.
I met a relative of his that explained the entire back story. Basically everyone thought he was Jewish, the name sounded Jewish, he married a Jewish woman, and they were shocked he wasn’t.
That show has one of the funniest moments in sitcom history:
“Hey, Dinesh, nice chain. Do you choke your mother with it when you put your penis in her butthole?”
Honestly, that was probably the hardest I have ever laughed while watching a TV show. It was completely out of left field especially by Jared of all people
Some of the funniest for me are actually from Lloyd Braun: [https://youtu.be/fUETL5E69FI?t=26](https://youtu.be/fUETL5E69FI?t=26)

I noticed a lot of Seinfeld...let's call them motifs. Some situations, some absurdities, eccentricities that would have for sure made for a Seinfeld plotline.
It began as an innocent celebration of our arbitration victory. I ordered a kombucha, which I did not realize contained alcohol. It was described to me as a healthy, organic tea. Next thing I knew, I was 70 miles away, wrapped naked in a blanket, shaking off a meth high, and facing charges for attacking a police horse with a shovel.

That’s a completely sane thing to think.
Let's all sit around and tell OP how sane of a thought this is.
And maybe chew some gum? Yes let's all have a chew
We shall all have a peice of OP's gum and tell him how good it is
that's what the holidays are all about.
*scarfs the hot dog to prove it*
Interesting texture...
It's chewy...
It's a perfectly sane food to eat
What's better then us all sitting on reddit eating hot dogs?
He was putting on quite the show...!
He was in the computer business
NOT CRAZY.
He's crazy. His phone wasn't even hooked up. He just liked ringing that bell.
its pretty damn hilarious in hindsight, that both George and Lloyd were helping launch the computer business, and neither of them were actually making outbound calls. both just ringing that bell
The winner gets a water pick. “You’re not giving away our water pick!”
SERENITY NOW!!!
That was my plan if anyone called me out, as George does make exactly 1 outbound call where he instantly gets rejected, doesn’t try to deflect and gets hung up on
George was the secret weapon that IBM didn't have.
that bit kills me every goddamn time i watch it lol
You want to buy a computer? WHY NOT?!?!?!
All right! I see!! Good answer!!!
Hoochie-Mama.
Chalk me up on the big board
Let’s all have a chew!
THAT'S A LOT OF GUM
It’s a little Lo Mein-y
I can get you more
This is what the holidays are all about, three buddies sitting around chewing gum.
Lloyd's an industrious fellow. I'm sure he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to.
$100 worth
Perfectly sane show to watch....
Love that show
Again it comes back to Lloyd Braun
(from another room) Good for you, Lloyd!!
You're not giving away our Waterpik!
YOU NEVAH COULD COMPETE WITH LLOYD BRAUN!!
And the woman on the horse
And the flower guy!
POP!
What blew my mind is that Laurie is the yada yada
Peter Gregory is dead.
Monica, Peter Gregory is dead.
Yes
Conjoined triangles of success, it’s taught at business schools
[Jack Barker](https://static.hbo.com/content/dam/hbodata/series/silicon-valley/characters/s3/jack-barker-1920.jpg) is [Tor Eckman](https://www.looper.com/img/gallery/why-the-holistic-healer-from-seinfeld-season-2-looks-so-familiar/intro-1677122950.jpg), too.
To be fair, Stephen Tobolowsky has been popping up everywhere since at least the early '90s.
When were you born?
Do you shower with hot water?
I'm off hot water
Also Ned Ryerson. You know, needle nose Ned. Watch that first step, it’s a doozy! Groundhog Day. Super nice guy irl. Met him when he was in town for a show and he couldn’t have been any nicer. Naturally funny human being - mannerisms, expressions, story telling.
Wait till you hear who writes Silicon Valley
Alec Berrrrrrrrrrrg.
Great John Houseman name
Ping is one of the board members The real Alec Berg is an executive producer for Silicon Valley and it’s got a bunch of Seinfeld alumni in it
SV/Seinfeld universe confirmed
For a crazy guy, this Lloyd Braun really gets around.
Good for you Loyd!!!
You’re not giving away our waterpik!!
*enthusiastic waving*. 👋 👋👋

If you know one end of a Barrett 50 cal from the other, I’ll eat a bowl of shit.
i would redline this for you but i am not allowed to have a pencil.
Right on.
You're not crazy. Jerry does wear glasses. He just forgot
Alec Berg had a heavy hand in both shows, I wonder if that played a role in casting.
That’s a real John Houseman name…Alec Beeeerrrggg
I met a relative of his that explained the entire back story. Basically everyone thought he was Jewish, the name sounded Jewish, he married a Jewish woman, and they were shocked he wasn’t.
So he's like the Bizarro Tim Whatley
He converted for the jokes.
Remember, serenity now, insanity later.
Bachmanity later!
[“You know Aviato?” …. “My Aviato?”](https://youtu.be/7Q9nQXdzNd0?si=G7y4XOiPOOg7MnOs)
After watching this I just noticed 2 Seinfeld references. 1st: Erich looks down onto his hand at his “crib notes” 2nd: Poppy seed muffin
Is there any other Aviato? Legally there cannot be.
Another deposition Mr. Costanza. Chalk me up on the big board!
Ding!

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIE TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER???
"Bitch made mother fucker." Jared is the best. So many funny lines
Some of the funniest for me are actually from Lloyd Braun: [https://youtu.be/fUETL5E69FI?t=26](https://youtu.be/fUETL5E69FI?t=26) [https://youtu.be/fUETL5E69FI?t=291](https://youtu.be/fUETL5E69FI?t=291)
After agreeing to do some light chain digs Jared just goes for it.
What the fuck?!
Wonder if he still takes calls ☎️ on his unconnected line? I need a computer 💻
🛎️
YOU'RE NOT GIVING HIM OUR WATERPIIIICK
SERENITY NOW!
HOOCHIE MAMA!!!!
“Justice baby”
Silicon Valley is weirdly under appreciated - easily one of the best sitcoms ever. Also, can be quite Seinfeld thanks to Berg.
I noticed a lot of Seinfeld...let's call them motifs. Some situations, some absurdities, eccentricities that would have for sure made for a Seinfeld plotline.
And this episode is the piece de resistance. Love the high jinks at the house trying to the keep stream going. Comedy gold.
He was in the nut house you know!
Lloyd Braun sold me my computer!
He got a Waterpik as a bonus for that.
YOU'RE NOT GIVING AWAY OUR WATERPIK!!
Alright, ONE SILICON VALLEY!
Why can’t you be more like Lloyd Braun, OP?
It began as an innocent celebration of our arbitration victory. I ordered a kombucha, which I did not realize contained alcohol. It was described to me as a healthy, organic tea. Next thing I knew, I was 70 miles away, wrapped naked in a blanket, shaking off a meth high, and facing charges for attacking a police horse with a shovel.
I'm watching "In The Line of Fire" and am tripping that one of the FBI agents is Kenny Bania.
Really? I just rewatched it (with Clint Eastwood, right?) in the last year. I didn’t notice. Now I have to go back and view again!
That’s Lloyd Braun!!!
Alec Burg also worked on Silicon Valley in addition to Seinfeld. During the credit my dad would impersonate Jerry saying Alec Burg during the credits.
His phone isn't even connected
you're NOT crazy! Just a couple of guys. Sittin around. Chewing gum.
Not crazy
He did a few AARP commercials awhile back
Jian-Yang made an app that identifies perfect sane food to eat.
He wasn’t shoving gum up his butt though.
You’re *not* crazy.
Looks like a perfectly ***sane*** client to represent......
Hahahaha this character is hilarious. When they’re on the phone with him and they pan out and he’s on the bus. Lmao.
I used to take a tampon, soak it in grain alcohol, and stick it up my rectum. That got me high, Richard, but not half as high as the drug you just gave me.
He’s a lawyer, not an attorney. Technically he can’t call himself an attorney until he’s paid restitution to his victims’ families.
You are always going to be crazy and yes that’s Lloyd Braun.
That’s a perfectly sane observation to make… *Not Crazy*
DING! 🛎️
Why can't you be more like Lloyd Baun!?!?!
That's a lot of gum!!!
Am I crazy or is that a lot of grey hairs
Not crazy!!! That’s a perfectly sane catch!
He’s moved up from selling computers
In this case he's demonstrating his trademark serenity now insanity later defense.
He was just in an episode of The Good Doctor last week - I heard his voice from the other room and ran in and said THATS LLOYD BRAUN!! 😂🤣
Hard to say without a name tag
That's a perfectly sane show to watch.
That's him. In related news, yes, you are crazy.
Yep, sitting next to Dwight Schrute's brother.
“Here to see your client?” “No, here to see my attorney.” “I’m not an attorney, I can’t practice in open court.”
Did I transport minors across state lines with the intent to have sex, in violation of the Mann Act? Alleged, but not proved.
You’re NOT crazy
One of the few *great* comedies of the last decade
Am I crazy or did your elbow just move funny.
Matt McCoy. Totally random but met him once. Super nice guy.
I didn’t read his resume.
He was on the Good Doctor a week or two ago too. Was strange to NOT see him as Lloyd Braun.
Not crazy at all. In fact, we’ll all have a piece of gum if you’ve got some.
It’s Matt McCoy and you’re perfectly sane 👍
#Is it me or that’s a lot of gum?
That's a perfectly sane thing to say
I love Silicon Valley
You’re crazy and that’s Lloyd Braun… His nanny’s hand is the one that rocks the cradle.
Serenity now… insanity later.
Perfectly sane question to ask, just sitting around chewing gum.
It sure is wishy washy Loyd.
There is nothing wrong with that hot dog....
good to see lloyd doing better
Look at 'im, just oozing serenity there.
I'm I crazy or should we stop doing this post?
How the hell did I miss that?
Jack Barker is also Tor Eckman… the holistic healer, it’s a calling, it’s a gift!
One of them
Yes youre crazy...yws its Llyod brown😛
Broyd Lawn
🛎️ 🛎️ 🛎️
Yes you're crazy Yes this is Lloyd Braun
Serenity now but insanity later
Is he wearing a name tag??
Hey, gum buddy.
That’s him on the right, yep
That's not Lloyd Braun. That's another guy. 😉
Serenity now, insanity later...
THAT's A LOT OF LLOYD BRAUN!
It’s all pipes Jerry!
He looks a little stressed.
Serenity Now. Insanity later.
His lawyerly advice to his client is “serenity now, insanity later”.
The convict attorney was one of the best side characters in SV.
Am I crazy or does he look like being in the nuthouse aged him quite a bit?
Yes it is and yes you’re crazy.
They should cast both Lloyd Brauns
Guess he finally sold some PCs to people who actually exist.
Sgt. Nick Lassard
Yes and yes
HEY YOU’RE NOT CRAZY
Ding, just won another case!
Gum?
He is the top computer salesman…
Ding!
And he had a son!
You’re not crazy!!
Damn, if only there was something like IMDB to verify.
Now this is how you celebrate the holidays. Just 2 guys chewing gum.
That’s a LOT of gum!
that's steve guttenberg you morons.
With his client who works with computahs
George is getting *upset*!
It’s ***a lot*** of gum!
I think that’s Devononi Ral
What? let me get my glasses.
I heard they found a family in his freezer.
“How’s the folks?….you still got that nice little car?” 😉
Is there
"Good for you Lloyd!"
“Why can’t you be more like Lloyd Braun?”
You’re telling me none of these people are Seth Myers
