On Sunday night s episode , the hometown hero did us proud with a hilarious ode to the notorious cough attack.
Just as the Pied Piper crew receives a phone call from their enemy, Gavin Belson, with news he s bought their platform, Bachman lights up his Beaker Base pipe. A cough-laugh mashup ensues, to which Richard (Thomas Middleditch) asks, What is funny about this?
Don t you see? Gavin isn t trying to fuck us, he just saved our asses, Erlich mumbles before launching into another cough fit.
Like so many bright ideas on the show and IRL, this $250 million revelation was made mid-high.
Jared (Zach Woods) agrees with Erlich: He s right, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, he s right.
Gavin set the…he set the… Erlich can t even finish.
The price point! says Jared.
Watch closely as the coughing continues and the camera cuts to most of the cast breaking character amidst the wheezing. Like a boss, Erlich clears it finally, prompting Monica (Amanda Crew) to ask, Is he OK?
Jared assures the gang, He s going to be fine.
