Deleted 'Silicon Valley' scene delivers extended, tech-inspired insult comedy reel

Racism sucks. Sexism sucks. And yes, even ageism sucks.

However, when the old folks jokes are delivered via the comedic stylings of the Silicon Valley would-be angel investor everyone loves to hate, Erlich Bachman (T.J. Miller), it's probably okay to stop stifling your laughter for a moment and enjoy the burns.

In what might be one of the most epic "you are old" takedowns of all time, Miller drops almost five minutes of tech-inspired insults to the face of one-time Pied Piper CEO Jack Barker (Stephen Tobolowsky).

The full scene was cut from the show, but HBO made it available on Youtube and Tobolowsky himself shared the video on Saturday. In it, if you watch closely, you can see Tobolowsky occasionally breaking character as he shakes with laughter.

Miller hits him with pretty much every old joke in the book and even manages to weave in a few jabs that reference Steve Jobs, Sega Genesis, UNIVAC, silent films, email and the Microsoft Word paperclip.

Of course, this is just comedy fiction, and you should never even think of slinging such insults -- comedic or otherwise -- if you care about being, well, a marginally decent human. (We're still not laughing about Miller's performance at the Crunchies last year, by the way.) 

But since Tobolowsky can laugh at himself in the fictional world of Silicon Valley, here's your free pass to indulge your evil side for just a few minutes.
