Recently , I reviewed the first sitcom "IT Madman", the first sitcom in history, with no one before and after no one. The irony is subtle and the humor of the arrangement can only be understood by people who have seen it, so I think of it and rationalize Roy's connection to the house T that can circle the galaxy around the galaxy.

The story of "IT Mad Men" has three protagonists, one is Jen who is superficial and selfish but can always save IT houses at critical moments, the other is Moss, who is proficient in Ah Q's escape from the world with the same plaid shirt, and one This is Roy, who is always thinking about picking up girls.

Later, after the United States had "Silicon Valley", they did not forget to add a 7-point portrait of Erlich Bachman. Speaking of, the new season of "Silicon Valley" has also started filming, and "IT Mad Men" has been completely sealed into the shrine after the failure of the NBC restart.

What we saw in "Silicon Valley" is that the A Zhais fight for business interests, and the "IT Mad Men" shows how the A Zhais work hard to integrate into the real society.

In the final analysis, it is the Internet that has caused the division of the world, and technology has changed the current rules. Virtual world languages ​​and real world languages ​​dominate two different ecosystems. The rise of Internet companies not only supports such talents, but also strengthens them and reality. The fragmentation of society, the real society relies on the innovation of the Internet world and the promotion of commerce, and at the same time it has opened its blood and tried to assimilate the other side.

It is possible that before humans can really upload their consciousness and swim the power grid, the contradictions and impacts between these two world languages ​​will always exist.

Just like these three colleagues in the IT department, they laughed at each other for their company and became similar to each other, and eventually became more and more intolerable in the world. They don't have to be too likable. What British dramas are best at is to dig deep rifts in the souls of "sluts" (those who are not very likable) and the highlights that cannot be hidden by the shadow of personality.

· Season 1, Episode 1·

The story begins when Jen leads the audience to the basement where the IT department is located, and sees a small spark in the eyes of Roy, who is of the opposite sex. When it turns out that Jen is their new head of the department, the flame goes out instantly...

The first episode set the tone for the IT department, that is, a group of high IQ geniuses with zero social skills are trapped in a basement that no one cares about. The employees are within three sentences to ensure an unknowing conversation that irritates each other. Killer; Jen, who doesn't touch the computer at all, is a master of interpersonal communication, just to make up for the shortage of IT department. After successfully rescuing Roy, who was beaten up by the employees upstairs, Jen also became the department's "relationship" director.

In this episode, Roy's T-shirt is printed with another look of the "renminbi famous pattern", with RTFM written on the head. Guess what? ——Read The F**king Manuel! (Read the manual!) Many years later, the TV station released another "IT Madman Manual", inviting the chief creator and many industry insiders to comment and share the front and back of the IT madman, Just F**king Read It!! !

· Season 1, Episode 2 ·

In the second episode, Roy changed into the T-shirt that appeared in the opening song. The pattern came from the character in the classic pixel game "Space Invaders". It is said that when Yuhong Nishikaku designed this game, he originally wanted to make a tank or airplane, but he was trapped in the computer technology at the time. In order to make the game run more smoothly, he used a simpler and abstract spaceship to present the battle scene. The shape of the space invader in the setting is divided into "flying saucer", "cuttlefish", "crab" and "octopus". The crab is printed on Roy's T-shirt, and 10 points (10 Points) are added.

After the advent of "Space Invaders", there have been many shooting arcade games that follow the trend. With the rapid development of technology, spaceships in aquatic forms have also evolved into planes and tanks. Such games are collectively referred to as "little bees"-that is, "Vengeance". League of Legends 1" Li Tony Stark caught the game played secretly by Nick Fury's subordinates!

Last year was the 40th anniversary of this game. To commemorate the grandfather-level milestone of the game industry, Tokyo also held a retrospective of the game on the 52nd floor of the Roppongi Hills Observation Deck. The house is romantic again!

· Season 1, Episode 3·

In this episode, Roy's looks have changed. After all, it is a four-day story. The first night is a suit shirt dating look (with shit-shaped chocolate wipes); the second day we return to the IT department uniform house T lightning print On the third day, it was replaced with an Imports print; on the fourth day, netizen Ben now wears a leather jacket and a silk scarf in order to complement his own universe’s biggest bastard’s Internet personality, in an American locomotive party style.

Shit-shaped chocolate is the introduction to this episode, essentially a story about dating and the aesthetics of men and women. Roy's repeated trials and failures, the more frustrated and courageous dating experience taught him that "men are not bad and women do not love", so on the first night of the date, he has to wear a casual suit shirt, jumping with barren Italian vocabulary, and pretending to be himself He is a sentimental hooligan, maybe the only set of clothes in the closet that is not a T-shirt (the one is probably rented for the fourth day). He has sacrificed himself for dating; and the humanity master Jen who laughs at him for embarrassment is the same Abandoning myself for dating, pretending to be an erudite classical music lover, just to win the favor of a security colleague, after the truth was revealed, Jen famously said: "My principle of dealing with things is to lie, lie, and lie again. "

The end of the story? No suspense, really.

· Season 1, Episode 4·

In this episode, Roy has two sets of T-shirts. One is a Pac-Man print that is worn daily. The classic pixel game Pac-Man is also known as "an arcade game with no end and always on the way to customs", printed on Roy T-shirts. The screen on the 256th level, there was a memory error, and garbled characters appeared in the screen, which made the player unable to pass (of course, I have not played this level anyway, according to the information); the other is stealing from the memory The T-shirt that I wear when hiding office equipment, with Guide by Voice printed on it, is an Indian band from Ohio with a simple folk style.

In this episode, Mr. Goth, Richmond, appeared. A big celebrity who was once highly regarded by the boss was sent to the basement because he fell in love with the non-mainstream Gothic culture to guard the IT department. The actor is the famous and beloved Noel Fielding. In the interview, Nuoniu said that she deliberately added a soft and naive voice to the character, which contrasted with the dark and fragmented common personality in Gothic culture. His fragility inspired the motherhood in Jen and formed the relationship between the two. The absurdity and fetters.

· Season 1, Episode 5·

Jen went through a terrible date. In order to get rid of this annoying colleague, she asked Moss for help. The straightforward Moss was nervous for the time to complete the task and said that she had pulled up her braids. At this time, the drama conflict came, the bad date lied that he was the last man to sleep with Jen, and the rumors were born and spread quickly. In order to save his reputation, Jen tried everything he could to get this damn man to clarify the lie. In the end, she rushed to his house on a rainy night to try to communicate, so the famous scene of the combination of the hero and heroine of "The Shining" appeared, which scared him to death.

Roy also encountered a bad date. In order to help him get rid of his date, Moss once again used a big slaying weapon to lie. In this episode, Roy is wearing a pink T-shirt with a pair of crossed electric guitars printed on it, which is a very common pattern. After the credits, Roy wore a green T-shirt on the street, but because the jacket was too tightly wrapped, there was no pattern at all. Maybe it was Pied Piper...

· Season 1, Episode 6 ·

The finale of the first season is to help everyone recall the fear of being ruled by aunt.

At first, Roy wore a blue and yellow T-shirt with the number 42 printed on it. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tells us that the number 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of the universe, and Roy wore this aunt who witnessed Jen. What's interesting is that during Jen's menstrual period, Roy and Moss, and even Mr. Goth Richmond, experienced the same inexplicable mood swings. This is probably the legendary girlfriend's gravity. After getting along for a long time, the sisters will synchronize. Congratulations to the aunt.

At the end of the story, the three sisters wore the same printed house T. The pattern was that Roy and Moss wore women's clothing with the website www.ladyproblems.com on their heads . The stems originated from the two nerds who opened a website to analyze women’s issues, which led to heated discussions in the community. So black fans produced surrounding cultural shirts at their own expense.

· FIN · "IT Madman" is a treasure, praise "IT Madman"!

Stop for almost any second and you can talk about the house stalks for a long time. The richest colored eggs include Roy’s house T and the various stalks in the background wall, such as the "Flying Noodle God Cult" picture posted on the back of the first season of Moss. Didn't you find out? Then I think about writing in the next issue.
