This was when Severance jumped the shark
This was when Severance jumped the shark
Humiliation ritual
jumped the reddit
it jumped the shark with the waffle party bullshit in season 1
Heh heh. Wrong door! xD
As soon as I heard that line, I knew Reddit was going to love it
I stopped watching it after this episode
No, this was.
fym this was the best part of the episode
So there was an entire department down there full of 50 people that just did band practice all day?
this was kino tho?
the episode was so full of reddit moments it was insane
it had as many repeatable lines and scenes as the whole show has
the hulk punches a bitch
she doesn't immediately collapse
There was an entire department who raised goats.
soi nonsense
hey wait a second, they didn't come in with those cards, where did they come from?
it was all in their heads this whole time?
They know their show is dead so they jangled a bunch of keys in the finale to keep people memeing
Also Mark and Helly didn't see the image.
like the rest of the show, shit comes and goes without explanation. Severance requires viewers not to think to enjoy it.
there's no security guards at Lumon
just a marching band
Pickle Rick-tier wankery. The shark is now in the rearview mirror.
The beautifully detailed high school sketchbook was acceptable exposition, because it visually conveys a simpler concept: Harmony Cobel was integral to the implant design and is a valuable ally. That scene gets a soft pass.
Good point, in fact nobody sees the image, except the ceiling tiles. What's the point?
It jumped the shark with the reddit one-shot sequence in S20E01
That room has a low ceiling too. No one could actually see the finished picture and no camera could see the whole thing. Most of the creativity in this show is now devoted to superficial scenes the writers think look cool or will get them a Cinematography Emmy. It just looks jarring and tryhard while the rest of the show has gone to shit.
Quirky wink nudge node at the viewers I guess? Something to post on their social media?
they got so many "diversity" representation good boy points in this episode too. They had to put a white guy front and center because he was the only one in the entire band
An emmy is assured
how could lumon let cobel go? wouldnt they have to kill her? She could expose them or be a competitor. They were willing to kill mark and gemma after cold harbor's completiton.
no
Fun scene and I grinned like a child who got a pound of candy, but it did reek of the writers thinking, "How do we one-up MDE?"
mark and helly were about to be decommissioned, there was no point to ANY of it. and that's not a criticism that's just the logic of lumon's formal rituals.
literally the best scene, cobel inventing severance was much worse and happened two eps earlier.
The board is watching and filming
Goat mama hysterical strength, bitch.
Milchick has kino dance scene in S1
gotta trump that somehow no matter how nonsensical it will turn out
Bringing in reddit writers was a massive fucking mistake.
She's over 6 ft.
You do see them folding them back afterwards, so theoretically they could have stashed the ~A4 size folded-up card in their uniforms. Still dumb as shit.
Nah, Cobel inventing severance is when the show jumped the shark
I actually liked this sequence because it reminded me of season 1 when the show used to be fun
The shark had already been jumped by that point
Nah it was a great set piece.
Even just timing the "lets go" the the beat was a nice touch
Dario
Kier saw it.
After she turned down the supervisory role it seems like they were gonna kill her when she came back and was talking with Helena. Seems like they're still trying to track her down considering they sent goons to her hometown
no it didn't dumbass
Explain what a "reddit moment" is? While you are at it, give me a descriptive definition of "slop" and "mid."
90% of the posts on these boards is meaningless drivel by media illiterate shit talkers that think buzzwords made up for actual thought.
"It's mid tier, reddit slop." Translation, I didn't like it but not smart enough to explain why.
Holy shit.
BRAVO STILLER
It's board culture. It's not to be explained to outsiders.
him shimmying at mad dylan was pure kino
Grandma Helly R!
You sound insecure.
"media illiterate"
"buzzwords made up for actual thought"
you kinda contradict yourself here, midwit
Explain what a "reddit moment" is
How many fat women post here to keep making these threads.
Me: have no idea what severance is about
(look it up)
Oh, they made a tv show about taking the mark of the beast.
Not watching that trash.
The name of their department makes me think they're in charge of merriment in general, like they put together the jazz event from Season 1.
I bet this joke is going great over at the church picnic
What did Anonymous by this?
I enjoyed the marching band scene, but the original is so much better. It really distilled the surreal feeling of office "parties" where you pretend to enjoy the pre packaged sterile fun with your manager and coworkers
Season 2 was good but it got too much up its own ass and stopped being a satire about weird office culture
Media illiteracy means an inability to understand a piece media's intent/messaging as well as being unable to understand and explain how a piece of media is made, what about it works, what doesn't, and why.
This. It was always retarded Reddit shit.
mofo can dance I give him that
meta without self awareness. post ironic irony without sincerity.
don't Jim the camera
he did the thing
so.. that just happened
...as one does
BAZINGA!
gemma is the most important test subject in the history of Lumon
Okay, got it
Lumon let’s Cobel take her out on the severed floor to conduct wellness sessions with mark to see if they recognize each other
Alright well give it a pass, strengthens their findings and Cobel invented severance so she’s probably allowed to pull some strings
gemma does wellness for the entirety of MDR
Alright now that seems a little risky, I get that they want to test the chips strength but surely there’s another way
o&d/goat people reveals she does wellness sessions for the entirety of Lumon
Okay that makes no sense, when does she even have the time to do this in between testing sessions?
That sounds like projection and also like you don't understand what insecurity is.
If I was insecure, why open myself to critism by openly admitting that I don't understand your slang.
Insecurity would drive me to pretend that did understand as to not be criticized.
she's a lesbian, they know how to take a punch
Nigga writes a novel about how he's supposedly not insecure
they keep 50 skinny blacks on retainer to play drums? were they talented beforehand and got severed for that? or do they practice that way?
how often are they needed. do they have short 1 hour lives like Ms Casey?
this was real fucking dumb
I be a scientist in high school n sheeeit
can we go to Optics & Design
can we go to Optics & Design
can we go to Optics & Design
a wellness session is 20min once a quarter. with goats and arts and crafts we've seen ~50 employees. an HR bitch probably usually handles 50 employees.
the second life as a guinea pig was a curveball to be sure, but remember she's not a civilian. she's not allowed to clock out and go home and watch teevee. so 8 hours on, then 8 hours also on.
plenty hours in the day for torture
You're proving my point. Instead of giving me a definition, you use the word "reddit" to describe anything you don't like but can't explain why.
it's another season 2 of a show giving more relevance to negroes because DEI politics in streaming service episode
yawn, so tiresome, why are you still retards who watch shows made nowdays? you never learn
and Mark did 25 projects in ~2 years?
so every 2 weeks she's introduced to a different torture chamber. is that consistent? how many Christmas cards and dentist appointments did she have?
2 weeks worth? 80 work hours?
I dunno, seems plausible really. I didn't like the marching band
Thank you for actually giving me an answer. Meta for the sake of meta, or meta without without the commentary/satirical/humor.
I can work with that.
Lets delusionally walk back into the building and live it out as as an innie for the of their lives. Marks walks back in and gets shot/killed.
it was actually during the camping episode where mark gets raped
kek
she's a big bitch plus she's technically a rancher, they're hardy types. though I do think his punch should've done more damage.
anons learn what the fourth wall is
I guess it's true that this show's biggest failure was overestimating the intelligence of its audience.
No security guards, and they couldn't rely on police protecting doing illegal things, they should've had a huge amount of security just encase.
So what about all those secret maps and plots we went through that meant nothing to the ending, Wild goose chase.
the show's not over yet, my impatient friend. all will be revealed, in time.
youtu.be
youtu.be
youtu.be
why are they doing this? would you do this?
"reddit" can be done by 80iq Indians. it's being a herd animal, belonging for the sake of belonging, but to nothing whatsoever.
in time
S03 six years from now.
I'm going to assume you meant to reply to me but are too retarded. 3 sentences isn't a novel, you retarded nigger.
isn't she the Game of Thrones mountain
is it? lumon has always been a bizarre company
the main map led them to explore and find the goats. the real map was the hallway where they shut people off and presumably saved Gemma from.
it seemed. what else needed exploring? seemed covered. they got to the control panel in S1.
the delay for S2 was mostly because of the strike, S3 will come much sooner
I gotta be honest that whole episode is stupid when you take 5 minutes to think about it but I was entertained by Milchick being zesty and Mark killing Drummond so I’ll give it a pass.
What the fuck was the point of her character
She was so fucking inept that she didn’t tune her machine correctly and marks hand started spazzing out, then she goes “uh oh shit” like she spilled a glass of milk, then she turned around and acted like a complete fucking bitch to him
Helllooo of day saar
Legit one of the worst written characters on a TV show I've ever seen.
Season 3 better fix it or her character is literally dogshit.
punches right in the sweet spot too. That would put down anyone. Dumb fuck show for dumb fucks
magical genius brownoid
Why does Lumon need a severed marching band
rhegabi is based and I'm tired of pretending she's not
100% they perform the pieces recorded for the MDE and the waffle party
but why they need an entire band on site full time i have no idea
Why does this scene keep getting reposted on xitter?
It saw one post calling it "coworker slop" and other one made by some retarded lib saying that muh fascists can't create art as good as this
I can't believe I was tricked to watching 1.5 seasons of this show. I thought some "big twist" was coming but there's no twist!
I know it's my fault but I thought this show was one of those "mind bending twist" movies and am immensely disappointed it was just random faggotry
2025
massive budget apple tv+ show is slop
holy shit you cannot imagine my surprise
didn't she KILL someone? was that just nbd or what
Never bothered to get caught up with s2 i watched the first 2 eps, can anyone explain why Sweet Vitriol has a 6.7 rating? What did they fuck up that badly
so they got goons to send around the country but none to protect their headquarters??
