First couple episodes, they gave him smarter lines, and he could actually keep up a conversation with Richard. I'm rewatching the show, and I'm waiting for the episode where it changes
Franc Lipovnik i feel like most shows do that with funny characters like when the show first starts out they experiment and when they see what works they make it their main quality
Tbf if you look at it it all came down to Gavin Belson just wanting to shove it in Richard’s face, everything came after that was because of Gavis’s ego
I think that in the case of Big Head it works because it doesn't come from him; it's a believable chain of events triggered by _other_ character-driven writing (Belson being a petty, vindictive a-hole with unlimited funding)
I just know the german law, but it should be international... so there are not 3 classes but 3 different levels. On the first level you have to stay close to the coast and do it like this for at least X miles (not sure how much you need). Once you got your Miles full (just like a diver has a dive book) you can then apply to study for the next level and once you've done that you for example learned what do to if the waves get higher and other stuff that you need to know if you go out of coast visionrange. Once you've done enoth miles on that level you will be able to apply for the last one that is the "unlimited one" that you need if you really want to go into open waters. Since Hawaii is in the middle of the ocean you would need the 3rd level to be able to find Hawaii and not get lost... not to speak about all the other stuff that you should know in case you encounter huge waves. If you dont know how to read the GPS and sail into a storm you're done!
You know what I love about big head?! He's the only character that is honest about himself and is confident enough to basically let people know. This is who I am take it or leave it kind of mentality. He's not going to lie or conceal anything and he's not going to defend himself about his abilities and capabilities like most insecure people do and on top of that he's a nice guy and feels comfortable in his own skin. I love this character. People should take a page from him and just be true to yourself even if it's embarrassing.
hooikidz And that’s why he became president of hooli, then made 23 million then became a teacher at Harvard and now owns 10% of pied piper which is basically the equivalent of Facebook .....I think the show creators are trying to tell us something on karma or something
He is everything I fear to become. Getting stuff without deserving it is soul wrecking in it of itself, but then being too much of an idiot to even realise... I despise that... He will not even suffer from imposter syndrome because he is that much of an airhead.
Gavin : This is great team. So, what's the timeline here ? When can we integrate this to nucleus ? Big Head : Not long. It will probably happen in our lifetime, we just have to figure out how to make it work.
Bighead is that guy you know from somewhere that's dumb as shit but is inexplicably doing really well and you're not even mad because he's such a nice guy
He made an incubator without realizing it because the guys he let live at his house felt like they took advantage of him. He is basically filling up on good karma so good things happen to him.
Big Head constantly failing upwards has been my favorite running gag on this show. Too bad they can't find more to do with the character though. He'd be too much of a deus ex machina if he became a billionaire or something, he'd just bail PIed Piper out of all the messes they get themselves into.
think they already did that tho. when bachsanity or bachhanity (the company erlich bought with big heads money) had money in raviga which bought richards shares.
6:38 When I first saw Gavin introducing him as "Bag-Head" I almost passed out laughing. I was red with tears and I saw stars....I remember showing this clip to friends after who couldn't understand why I found it so hilarious. Its these subtle moments that makes this show so awesome..
It's hard to tell if Big Head truly got dumber as the seasons progressed, or just way more complacent and confident as he learned to embrace his own capacity to inevitably fail upwards.
He deffo got dumber. In season 1 he was working on an app that used GPS to identify the nearest erect nipples(even though that's obviously not possible unless they're reported by users somehow), and was regarded as a sort of mediocre jack of all trades, not great/good at anything, but meh at everything(so he filled in for other characters weaknesses). In season 5 he can't remember a separate username and password.
@@SailingROX4321 Wasn't that more of a joke? Donald might have said that, but he basically came to the conclusion due to his experience working with elderly and nothing else.
BigHead is like Forrest Gump in this show. He isn’t the smartest guy, but he’s genuinely caring and very honest. He doesn’t try to pretend to be some tech genius. Somehow he seems be at the right time at the right place around important tech pop culture moments in the Silicon Valley universe to become successful. Remember Forrest had tons of Apple stock and that was in the 1980s.
Big Head honestly is one of the funniest "side" characters in television that I can think of. You don't always have to be over the top, five laughs per second to be hilarious - a simple deadpan response that accentuates the aura of a god can be more than good enough.
The mixup with the paperwork and the menu is priceless but one of the best lines is when he is applying to Stanford and trys to explain to the admissions lady what VC stands for.
@@swooka689 Everytime I look into Steve Ballmer, it seems like he was more a PR fuckup, while his successes were overshadowed; screwing up with something like the Zune, for instance, while having insane profits "The company's annual revenue surged from $25 billion to $70 billion, while its net income increased 215% to $23 billion, and its gross profit of 75 cents on every dollar in sales is double that of Google or IBM." Stock lowered I believe but that cash could have been a very vital part of modern microsoft. Also, "Ballmer also constructed the company's $20 billion Enterprise Business, consisting of new products and services such as Exchange, Windows Server, SQL Server, SharePoint, System Center, and Dynamics CRM, each of which initially faced an uphill battle for acceptance but have emerged as leading or dominant in each category." It sounds quite possible Ballmer protected and created many of the vital beating hearts of the business, leaving it in a perfect situation for someone else to improve upon. So I just don't know. Its been a long time since I read deeply into this, this was just from Wiki, but I remember being surprised and understanding why he got the job in reading on it, that he had his own great skills and he strengthened Microsoft in his own way. A company like Microsoft is complicated though, so I don't know what things would have looked like with another approach. Ballmer may have been the perfect one two punch when combined with Satya, or maybe he screwed with something that might have been better off. I acknowledge the big failures that could have possibly made them bigger; "he had "steered Microsoft out of some of the fastest growing and most lucrative tech markets (mobile music, headsets and tablets)".[41]"
His face when he hears “it’s not that uncommon” is gold. Just trying to figure it out, then when you think he has it he gives one last look of utter confusion.
What I love about bighead is that he could have failed his way to the top to become a multi-billionaire. And even if he lost all of it, he'd probably say 'Okay', take a sip of his Big Gulp and move the fuck on to whatever he was doing before and not spend a minute agonizing over it.
@@varunsrivastava9748 it is kinda, you see everything happened to Big head happened because of Gavins massive massive ego, and everything after that was just a consequence of it
@@varunsrivastava9748 really you don't think Microsoft would have gladly hired somebody in Steve jobs inner circle regardless of their actual computer skills?
@@varunsrivastava9748 to be honest, he's way too relatable for me, from not knowing where the court room was to getting confused with "are you not" questions lol. I laugh hard whenever how I can see myself in him. Only thing I'm missing is his unnatural luck
"You will not discuss ANYTHING you did at Hooli, at all, in perpetuity, throughout the Universe" 😂😂 - that's got to be the Ultimate Non-Disclosure agreement in all of history
Sad thing is: We never had the chance to witness Big Heads application interview at hooli. My best guess is his father was the dentist of Gavin Belson & they had some kind of rivalry going on - to win the fight Gavin did take his "useless" son. :)
He could probably pass a simple coding interview. A lot of companies don't even bother to do DP and stuff. I had a coding interview that was just creating a Java class to do arithmetic operations, and even with that the guy was impressed lol
Big Head is a metaphor for sincerity in everything, even cold hard logic. Whenever someone makes a statement he doesn’t understand, he makes a sincere attempt to parse out its meaning. This is also meant to show how often sincerity in itself is untenable from a practical perspective. When he moves the pool back to where he moved it from, he comes away with the realization that the designer did indeed know what he was doing. But that is the point in of itself. His method of sincerely trying to understand things around him makes him unable to make progress. BUT, even though success is often his attainment, he never gets a big head about being so high up. His sincerity is so pure that he doesn’t experience the rush of power to his head. Instead, he just takes in the coolness of it, not the status of the success. So while Bachman is often undercut by his own greed and desire for status, Big Head is an ideal response to success, in that he appreciates the value of his attainment in of itself, not as a means. Big Head functions as a plot device in of himself, in that he becomes a driving part of the plot not because of the plot itself, but because of his enjoyment of the environment of the plot itself. So, when he tells the dancer, “you are someone I could fall in love with” and then follows up with saying that his erection was also him being nice, he is himself explaining his sincerity at the situation. He doesn’t think he can get her love, but if he could, he sure would be able to reciprocate. The end implication is that the simplicity of his endeavors is exactly why the status culture of the Silicon Valley bubble is in itself counter to the very best that the process of sincere search and enjoyment of logic and science is in itself. The show is in a sense showing how the status and greed is self-destructive, as shown by Pied Piper and Gavin. And in that environment, the most ethical outcome is Big Head, smart or not. So while the Steve Jobs and Elon Musks of the world may find themselves controlling in the culture of status and wealth, Big Head is just as influential. Not by anything other than his association with the people doing the real work and his ability to just sincerely admire them for themselves. As he says, it was never his intent to be fighting over points with his friends. He really just wanted to be a part of it because he simply thought it was cool…
There’s a guy like Big Head in every century. Doesn’t possess any exceptional talents, but is given extraordinary amount of luck because God pities the poor fool.
Here testing my theory that Bighead is actually a wily manipulator who maneuvers through all those cushy positions deliberately. His "oh no" when he realizes he's to be the Stanford teacher is his one slipup. He goes on to teach the class competently, which is a major risk to his facade. Notice he never gets a scene that shows a typical class session.
Big Head in the first season especially first few episodes was probably the most relatable character for me. He's not the best engineer, admits his faults and has that innocent dream of coding and making cool things that a lot of us do when we get into this industry. The part where he talks to Richard about his motivations made me like him far better than everyone else in the show. He's not pretentious, doesn't try to be someone he isn't and I even felt bad for him because I've been there myself. As the show went on, I hated how he just became "the stupid/lucky guy." The rest and vest thing (which is a real issue) probably is Mike Judge's way of giving the backstory of how Big Head slowly degenerates ("You catch on slow, you'll fit right in fine here") almost in the way that early episodes of Beavis and Butthead show the pair sniffing glue to explicate their lack of mental faculties. But the little bit of humanity that they gave him at the beginning to sacrifice for him being stupid made him really one dimensional from there on out.

8:55 killed me the first time I watched it. I was coughing from laughter.
Come on up here bag head!
"It will probably happen in our Lifetime" is one of the best sentences ever!!!
8:25 It will probably happen in our lifetime, we just have to figure out how to make it work .
10:51 **covers mic** this is amazing 😀
"You will not discuss ANYTHING you did at Hooli, at all, in perpetuity, throughout the Universe" 😂😂 - that's got to be the Ultimate Non-Disclosure agreement in all of history
Sad thing is: We never had the chance to witness Big Heads application interview at hooli.
My best guess is his father was the dentist of Gavin Belson & they had some kind of rivalry going on - to win the fight Gavin did take his "useless" son. :)
He could probably pass a simple coding interview. A lot of companies don't even bother to do DP and stuff. I had a coding interview that was just creating a Java class to do arithmetic operations, and even with that the guy was impressed lol
I keep coming back to clips of this show, it had some great writing.
Big Head is my spirit animal.
Gigidigigidi
I love how he's always drinking a Big Gulp.
I like how big head is being so honest by saying I kinda suck LOL. Accepting it is better than faking it.
8:32 the image of Big Head in front of the illustration on the board, just a lovely pitch of great tech
"It will probably happen in our lifetime" I died.
Big Head is a metaphor for sincerity in everything, even cold hard logic. Whenever someone makes a statement he doesn’t understand, he makes a sincere attempt to parse out its meaning.
This is also meant to show how often sincerity in itself is untenable from a practical perspective. When he moves the pool back to where he moved it from, he comes away with the realization that the designer did indeed know what he was doing. But that is the point in of itself. His method of sincerely trying to understand things around him makes him unable to make progress.
BUT, even though success is often his attainment, he never gets a big head about being so high up. His sincerity is so pure that he doesn’t experience the rush of power to his head. Instead, he just takes in the coolness of it, not the status of the success.
So while Bachman is often undercut by his own greed and desire for status, Big Head is an ideal response to success, in that he appreciates the value of his attainment in of itself, not as a means.
Big Head functions as a plot device in of himself, in that he becomes a driving part of the plot not because of the plot itself, but because of his enjoyment of the environment of the plot itself.
So, when he tells the dancer, “you are someone I could fall in love with” and then follows up with saying that his erection was also him being nice, he is himself explaining his sincerity at the situation. He doesn’t think he can get her love, but if he could, he sure would be able to reciprocate.
The end implication is that the simplicity of his endeavors is exactly why the status culture of the Silicon Valley bubble is in itself counter to the very best that the process of sincere search and enjoyment of logic and science is in itself.
The show is in a sense showing how the status and greed is self-destructive, as shown by Pied Piper and Gavin. And in that environment, the most ethical outcome is Big Head, smart or not.
So while the Steve Jobs and Elon Musks of the world may find themselves controlling in the culture of status and wealth, Big Head is just as influential. Not by anything other than his association with the people doing the real work and his ability to just sincerely admire them for themselves.
As he says, it was never his intent to be fighting over points with his friends. He really just wanted to be a part of it because he simply thought it was cool…
There’s a guy like Big Head in every century. Doesn’t possess any exceptional talents, but is given extraordinary amount of luck because God pities the poor fool.
There are alot of people that possess any talent tho. Big head at least knows how to do some code
mAGA
I don’t think god pities anyone .. It’s his pureness that attracts everything good
George W. Bush
He spills the ice, then bends down to pick it up but spills more ice in the process 😂
Gavin's face at 09:00 priceless...
3:36 This part is simply genius :D
I just noticed on every BigHead's promotion, the HR's cabin is getting worse. That's just brilliant
“Good night brown bear.”
“Love you papa bear.” 😂
Here testing my theory that Bighead is actually a wily manipulator who maneuvers through all those cushy positions deliberately.
His "oh no" when he realizes he's to be the Stanford teacher is his one slipup. He goes on to teach the class competently, which is a major risk to his facade. Notice he never gets a scene that shows a typical class session.
I thought he stated that he was just showing the class movies to pad the time?
If that were true I don't think Erlich would of gotten him to waste 20million dollars
Love the double negatives that always trip him up
😂 absolutely hilarious
How did he go from someone able to build a complex app on his own to barely keeping up with a conversation
how tf do you even build the nipple detector lol
Big head fails everything and yet gets everything he wants.
Big Head had no character growth but easily had the best arc
Big Head in the first season especially first few episodes was probably the most relatable character for me. He's not the best engineer, admits his faults and has that innocent dream of coding and making cool things that a lot of us do when we get into this industry. The part where he talks to Richard about his motivations made me like him far better than everyone else in the show. He's not pretentious, doesn't try to be someone he isn't and I even felt bad for him because I've been there myself.
As the show went on, I hated how he just became "the stupid/lucky guy." The rest and vest thing (which is a real issue) probably is Mike Judge's way of giving the backstory of how Big Head slowly degenerates ("You catch on slow, you'll fit right in fine here") almost in the way that early episodes of Beavis and Butthead show the pair sniffing glue to explicate their lack of mental faculties. But the little bit of humanity that they gave him at the beginning to sacrifice for him being stupid made him really one dimensional from there on out.
In the epilogue “10 Years Later” exclusive to RUclips it is said that he has dementia
I can't find anything funny after watching silicon valley. That show is great.
