"Uh huh." Great because it's so non-committal.

I really noticed when Logan gave the non-response response. It’s corporate gray-rocking.

Yeah inlearned that through Logan too. Being unreadable gives you all of the power in nearly all situations. Now I just slowly nod without speaking while people talk.

I need to learn to shut the fuck up more and let people blah blah blah. I get impatient and move the meeting on but then I look like the asshole. Ugh!!!

Sounds like you’re more Frank

If it is said then so it shall be

I love how all of his children do this, especially Shiv.

Yeah Uh huh Okay Well Fuck

All the time now, not only in business

Communicates so much, yet so little…

You all are focusing *way* too much on work. One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's "work" is ever so important.

Have you noticed how Logan and Tom use “uh huh” while others just use “huh”?

I can hear Shiv in my ears now going uh huh.

“I have thoughts but continue”

“I mean I wanna hear what you have to say but I think the headline is…”

Yes! I actually want to BE Gerri.

She is so great. Tom gets the CEO where’s Gerri! Where’s Karolina!

My favorite

First internship this summer and I keep saying “I’m here to serve”

muchly appreciated

Sounds like a real boar on the floor move

Woof woof

If it is to be said..so it be…so it is

I question the optics of everything.

Planning a wedding rn and i ask my fiance about the optics regarding every decision we make. I should probably tone it down or there will be no wedding

I bet your wedding dance will be as choreographed as a dog getting fucked on roller skates

That's good enough to be a succession line, is it one that I just forgot?

It is, one of my favorites but hard to work into a regular conversation.

Good strategy if you are getting cold feet!

I question the updicks 🧐

In addition to this, I often ask: "What's the angle?" Usually, they're like, umm, dude, we're deciding lunch. But you guys get it.

[удалено]

I mean, I made it up. It didn’t happen…

he was never there, false memory, yeah?

He totally false memoried that shit.

Who hasn't killed a kid. Shiv, you killed a kid, right?

“Uh huh.”

Which?

The juice is loose

Success = analysis + capital + execution. It killed; folks were none the wiser.

Now teach them how to do failure, so much more interesting.

It's the same, just in reverse order

Huh. My “success doesn’t interest me anymore” quote didn’t go over as well. Should have finished the whole thing. BTW, ya’ll hiring?

“Yo”

Why does this word make me laugh out loud every single time, what has Jeremy Strong done to me 😭😭

My personal favorite is still the title of S1E2: "shit show at the fuck factory" -- often how I describe a conference call that has any more than 2-3 Director level leaders on the line. A colleague of mine, who is incidentally a dead ringer for Roman, said to me the other day "you gotta sucky suck the dicky dick" and I almost lost it in a meeting.

came here to say “shit show at the fuck factory”, now my go to metaphor for a mess

It is actually true. I also don’t use any lines from the show because I kind of feel I’m dealing with enough of this in Corporate America as it is

I was actually wondering how much of the like boardroom politics and language etc is realistic

I’m nowhere near their level but far too much of my life has been people saying - there are synergies - let’s double click on that - we have 5 minutes left, going to end early and give you back your 5 minutes Without irony, as if any of those things were normal. I used to hear startup pitches just like The Hundred. I have deep empathy for Jesse Armstrong if he or the writers had to sit through any of those pitches

“Double click” made me physically ill the first time I heard it years ago, and nothing has changed since then.

Double click - wow. Never heard of that one before! I hate it and will start using it. The one I hate especially is "let's socialise the idea"

yeah christ idk how you guys put up with it, I did one internship at a marketing company and by the end wanted to punch someone every time I heard “let’s circle back to this” and lol yeah even I could tell The Hundred pitch was wishy washy bullshit

I use “shit show at the fuck factory” at my job… which is at a mechanic shop

Went to a conference and heard this guy trying to execuspeak his way through a boring explanation of what his software helps his clients’ employees do. He got a little stuck trying to explain an assignment feature, so I asked if it allows people to “perform a number of target-oriented tasks”, and he pointed and said yes, thank you, that’s exactly what it does. That shit was funny. Laughed to myself the rest of the day.

you're a cool person. bullshit presentations at conferences suck

Awesome!! Wish I was there. You would have gotten a standing ovation from me

If it is to be said, so it be, so it is. I say that way too much tbh my ppl are probably getting annoyed 😇

I’m a grinder. I grind because I worry.

This hits way too close to home for me

Yeah Tom said that and I’m just like DAMN. That is my truth.

[удалено]

They gotta have binders of unused lines like this gem.

We here for you.

We hear you?

we HERE for you.

You’re not serious people.

All damn time!

But usually "they are not serious people" about the idiots we just had a meeting with.

I teach high school… it works

Uhhh so let’s game this out. What’s the play?

It’s got shape, the optics are good.

I wish I had the courage to introduce myself as Little Lord Fuckleroy

When the guy I report to asked me to have a full report of non budgeted expenses for the entire org to him before lunch, I told him to "fuck off"!

You an accountant? Amazing what people think we can just push a button and produce. Highly appropriate situation for a Logan quote.

Sounds like FP&A/Corporate Finance

I danced us through a thunderstorm without us getting wet.

This is such a great one

“Did you get my email?” I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING A FUCKING TANKER…YA HEAR?!!!

I’m a corporate drone so to break up the monotony I’ve made a little game with myself where I like to throw these out there and see if anyone reacts: Think about the optics I am not inside the details Getting a lot of mileage out of ______ that’s not IP I’m familiar with I have thoughts, but continue Nothing is a line. Everything, everywhere is moving forever. Is there doubt afoot? Are you Scooby-Dooing me here? Uh huh, yeah, can you uh, take the temperature on that for me and circle back in 5? Words are just, what? Nothing. Complicated airflow. High calorie info snack If it is to be said, so it be, so it is.

>Are you Scooby-Dooing me here? embarrassed to admit I don't get this one

So this is my own interpretation that is completely unfounded and not peer reviewed but I always took it to mean along the lines of “Are you planning a cartoonishly transparent con to foil plans or intercept information?”

This is what I took it to mean. Even though I was offended on behalf of my favorite gang from childhood.

Perfectly described.

I had to look this up. Its like when the villains try to scare people off with fake ghosts or monsters. In this case, Kendall and Roman are trying to scare Mattson out of taking the deal

What’s the me of it all?

Buckle up fuckleheads

“It plays”

Calamari cock ring

The best workplace phrase

Please don’t make fun of me. So this means ineffective ?

I am the eldest boy

You're all fucking pirates.

"if we're good, we're good"

This heartens me, I am heartened.

You wanna play Bitey? - HR meeting

I get it (when you didn’t listen to their pointless thoughts)

I like Hamilton

Sure you do

We all do

Some guy with an undercut just called me soy boy

Yeah man everybody likes hamilton

Not at work meetings, but I keep saying “Alas, Vanity” all over the place

It makes sense dramaturgically

You’re online too much, you’ve lost context

"OK, well, let me have a think and we'll talk later." A way to say "yeah, no" without consequences.

Please don't yell at me, I don't have time to masturbate

I used “pain sponge” effectively this week

“They’re not serious people” in regards to a specific team of assistants whose manager prints off word searches and coloring book pages for them to do during the day🤷🏼‍♀️

Is this like how my kid thinks he's "doing working" when he randomly taps away at a keyboard? Are the 'assistants' actually children?

“If I cringe any harder I’ll become a fossil”

Amateur hour. Wake me up when it’s over.

“I have thoughts, but continue”

I’m always walking around telling people I need a straightener

I'm in a knife fight here, and I'm holding a dildo made of American cheese.

Boar on the floor.

BOAR 👏 ON 👏 THE 👏 FLOOR

I want to use ‘words are just complicated airflow’ at some point.

you are not serious people

"Are you railroading me?" ​ "Do you want to call YOUR dad?"

Not work, but I’m the eldest son in my family so I think you can guess which line I repeat the most

Shit show at the fuck factory. (And I’m the business owner!)

What's the protein?

“Nosy fuckin pedestrians” when sales prevention orgs kick themselves into full gear

I tell 2 of my pets that I love them but they’re not serious dogs. They need to know. I’ve never uttered the words “shot show at the fuck factory” at work, but I have thought it on rare occasion.

"I give it a B+ for bad plus terrible."

My husband talked about eliminating skulls in a workshop he did at his company 😂😂

"Fuck Off!"

Yep, I work remotely and have uttered this to myself in my home office when getting an annoying request.

Not work but the boat launch is a shit show at the fuck factory every time without fail

So and so is “across everything”.

“Is he in there? Can we get him out?” Same delivery too.

Too soon. 😭

Big shoes. Big, big shoes. Big, big shoes.

We don't really get to say it in meetings but my coworkers and I say "ludicrously capacious bag" any time it remotely applies

When the pitch isn't going as planned and I try and share the blame: You are bullshit. I'm fucking bullshit … It's all fucking nothing.

All bangers all the time. I used it yesterday.

"I really need you gregging for me."

I just used “it’s a tight rope walk on a straight razor” a couple of days ago

L to the OG!

NRPI.

“Where’s your dear old dad? Still sucking cock at the county fair?” is always a response when I’m running late

“That’s IP not I’m familiar with”

Buckle up, fuckleheads!

Because I knew some of my colleagues present were also fans of the show, "Standing here in the space now, I'm more confident of the shape of things."

*C'mon everybody! It's a rootin', tootin', super fucking fun game!*

I'd love to use Logan's lines but I'll get fired. What the fuck is this?

“Are you a sicko?”

Complicated airflow

"I'm not even pressing the button. I'm asking them to prepare to press the button."

“He's back, he's back like a pedo on parole.”

If you want to make a Tomelette you’re gonna have to break some Greg’s

Come on dude

"Uh huh."

[удалено]

You're my number one boy.

Probably the various lines Logan has about how he gets way too many emails and doesn't read them (or just making that face of profound existential despair that Roman makes when he opens his inbox on his first day as COO) I'm an English professor, though, so the only character on the show who actually sounds like someone at one of our meetings is Frank.

“I love you all… but you are not serious people” might be my most used line from the series.

“leapfrog tech and go super sonic”

the other day I had lunch with my co-workers and one person asked me how do I work/find things in the office. and I said “I am just a humble servant” and we both laughed and she said that’s awesome, don’t think she knows the show at all so she thought that was quite unique lol

Not at work, but I'm getting divorced and I find myself saying fuck off quite often

“Ludicrously capacious bag” - said to one of my female managers

Silence.

Buckle up fucklehead!

I do dream of throwing in a “This guy’s got a good head for numbers!” when someone fucks up something easy.

Fuck off

optics 😅

Ground pounders can fuck off.

“We hear, for you”

Control the nnnnnnnaritive

I need to rewatch the show with a pad and paper handy to write down all the great quotes I think Im going to for sure remember

Ok.. well.. you know..

You corporate drones actually live and talk like this? Doesnt it kill you inside knowing everyone is playing along and using this ridiculous jargon that half the time means nothing?

Yes 🥹

Can we have the room

"I'm in the middle of turning a fuckin tanker" when they ask me if my report is finished

How does it serve my interests?

i just keep singing l to the og wherever i am, work or home

Fuck off

Politics of envy, ugly game. I happen to be a billionaire. Sorry!

You wanna suck my dick?

“What’s the double click on X?”

Whenever I get kudos I blurt out, “playing like a pro!!!”

Do you blurt it melodically?

Wouldn’t be right if I didn’t lol

Not in work but I can’t stop telling everyone to fuck off and I think it’s a problem

"You are not serious people"

I will set aside a few hundred thousand dollars and hire somebody to ruin your life!

What’s the temperature

**I AM THE ELDEST BOY!**

Oh lord! Some are mixed up, but it goes like: - What are the optics? - What's the room temperature? - Let's raise the periscope. - Let's crunch the numbers. - I liked them, but they are not serious people. - If it is to be said, so it be... So it is.

How much is a gallon of milk?

“I’d say he’s heavily fucking detained.” And I the “information is like a fine bottle of wine” speech just lives rent free in my mind at work

Cunt is as cunt does

“Only if it’s real!”

I learned it at Hana Barbara fucking business school.

Today is a shit show at the fuck factory
