SILICON VALLEY – 800 Dicks

The season finale of HBO’s SILICON VALLEY had a scene that addressed the logistics of how to jerk off 800 dicks. Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Office Space) and writer Alec Berg (Seinfeld, Curb your Enthusiasm) juxtaposed the creative mindset of a team of awkward start up tech geniuses with a hypothetical mass manual hand job scenario to help win the annual TechCrunch Disrupt Conference.

It’s one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever experienced so I decided to transcribe it back into screenplay format. The beauty of the scene is the commitment and focus of the team to solve a technical problem with no regards to the social implications of the actual scenario. Their obliviousness to the actual task at hand (no pun intended) is what made it so effective for me. Enjoy!
