    I don't know what Aviato is supposed to do, assumed it was junk. But the description sounded like a tool airlines started using to monitor meta data near their airports so they could monitor customer feedback on social media. Then they could potentially address negative experiences as they happened.

    That's was disturbing and hilarious at the same time, felt like I'd walked into a donkey show in Tijuana.....

    According to an interview with Judge, that was all real.....

    I mean, in the first episode of the season the entirety of his credentials were based on selling the companies he headed. The characters just haven't pieced it together.

    The salesperson stuff was just hilarious.

    Richard: These are the best salespeople in the world. Can't they sell the hard stuff?
    Jack: Oh no, it's the opposite. These are the best salespeople in the world, if we give them something hard to sell they'll just go someplace else.

    That's the kind of realistic absurdity I love from Mike Judge.

    His laugh afterward is what made it so hilarious. Dont know why, but I always find it funny when people laugh at their own jokes.

    I believe the whole reason Erlich even has property in Silicon Valley and his "incubator" is because Aviato obviously was his one good idea and he cashed in on it and basically has been trying (with no success) to find a new idea ever since.

    Note - I've actually seen live horse sex before but this was still hilarious.

    That was hilarious, that whole episode was really strong. When the guy was taking them through the server racks, I was dying.

    Here we thought the gang had a plan that was going to shape the rest of the season and then Richard trips spilling the beans. I guess we don't know how the rest of the season is shaping up after all. How funny.

    The part where they were showing all the sequence scenes of the gang in the house brainstorming over the course of hours how they were going to pull off their scheme and Erlich is taking a hit in each scene. Too funny.

    speculation that Richard intended to fall and get caught to further the ruse

    here is a description of the original Meinertzhagen’s Haversack, which is pretty much exactly what Richard did

    http://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/si...entially-brilliant-twist-ending-explained.php

    - Richard is wearing kneepads (could just be a safety thing for filming)

    [​IMG]

    - Bachman is friendly with the Japanese employee who was using the hose Richard tripped over (there is a scene where he talks to him)

    - Richard has a backpack on, why would the plans not be in there?
