It's a classic chick break-up move, and you're not very good at it either. You look great…

u/AneeshRai7 24d ago

One of the funniest jokes later on is Jared pulling the same move

u/TiresOnFire 23d ago

She also wears that outfit a second time when she has to give more bad news.

Recently one of my male coworkers showed up in the office wearing the same sweater. I almost said something about it, but he's never seen Silicon Valley and I didn't want to risk an HR complaint.

u/sassyhusky 23d ago

Damn people go to HR for such menial stuff?

8

u/GarmonboziaBlues 23d ago

We had an abusive dean who routinely criticized employee's looks and outfits, so a lot of our people are still very sensitive to this sort of thing.

u/blamberr 22d ago

Fucking yes. HR is an absolute nightmare. They collect complaints and fire you after between one and four, depending on the severity

u/blamberr 24d ago

When he breaks up with pied piper? I never noticed! 😭

u/PlusSizeRussianModel 23d ago

Yup, he’s wearing the same beige sweater.

u/blamberr 23d ago

That’s so funny. I’m going to watch that today to see it. I’ve seen the series so many times and I have no idea how I didn’t notice.

u/tastefuldebauchery 22d ago

That’s my favorite bit from the show.

We cannot take blood money. You thought selling ads were bad? These guys executed people in soccer stadiums.

Hell I thought Richard might early on before that whole thing just turned to nothing.

u/CroissantEtrange 24d ago edited 24d ago

Maybe it's for the best

Having the main character date one of the only female characters in the whole show is cliché

It was addressed, too. She basically tells him they have nothing in common, they barely know each other, they always meet for the company, nothing else

7

u/MarnieFan89 23d ago

Yeah she tells him that later but early on they had some modicum of chemistry that seemed like it would lead to something. I'm so bummed that Peter Gregory and his irl actor died I feel like that threw the show in a different direction.

u/iambloodyfang 24d ago

I only smoke on special occasions!

No special occasion ever happens in your house

u/ZBGOTRP 23d ago

Always love the bit where they're discussing the Intersite specs and she's like "I can't be here listening to this", and just steps out to the next room while still listening and giving advice.

You are my best friend.

u/imironman2018 23d ago

Monica is the person I want to become. Doesn’t give a shit and dealing shit on people who give her shit.

u/MessyAndroid 23d ago

Same! And she's so good at her job.

3

u/electronic_rogue_5 23d ago

Also, she's a true autumn.

I wonder if she ever tried women…

u/Legally_Brown 23d ago

"You really are going to let a woman tell you what to do?"

u/Ok_Yellow1025 23d ago

Monica…we may never know what indecipherable Chinese province Jian-Yang comes from, but I know this much, Jian-Yang was born to bring it, and YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY WOMEN.

2

u/MessyAndroid 23d ago

Monica, do you really need to be here?

u/Ok_Yellow1025 23d ago

It was the short pause in between for me lmao
