The worst part isn't that it blew up, or that he fast tracked the launch, it's that he went around telling everyone he fast tracked the launch. Roman absolutely destroys any chance at plausible deniability.
I like how he doesn’t even take a seconds to comfort himself. He just leaves the bathroom, ready to pretend nothing happened, that he didn’t just fail at something
@@MegamaXX500 I'll do that scene right now, DRUNK, and do it just as well, because he watches a youtube video and washes his fucking hands. Thank you and goodnight.
That inhale after he saw it happen was GREAT acting! Like he waited with baited breath, and then…BOOM! 🤣 He was so excited because this was supposed to be something that legitimized him, then it all went up in flames. And like a Roy, the ONLY acceptable thing to do was to brush it aside, wash his hands, and keep it moving! This show is so delicious! The only thing that makes it bad is the knowledge that people like him truly exist. Yikes.
Brilliantly played. I really loved the moment when Roman all by himself makes his half glimpse in the mirror:) He knew it was 50/50 that's why he went to the bathroom to watch it alone.
This is absolutely genius black comedy. This rocket launch gig was the refuge that Roman had repeatedly fled to anytime his authority or competence was under scrutiny (which it was a lot of the time) throughout the whole season. He always spoke about how he was overseeing it, but not once did we see him taking any actions to support that claim. And this was the result. He was so blatantly out of his depth and even later admitted to accelerating the project in spite of the concerns brought forth by the actual team working on the launch. It’s almost illusion shattering how stupid it is, but it somehow manages to work because of how much of a shortsighted moron Roman is shown to be. Even though you could see it coming from a mile away, it’s still hilarious.

This is probably the funniest scene in any movies/tv shows i've ever watched. I still find myself laughing in public because i randomly think about this scene
Notice how he just chucks the used paper towel which someone else has to now discard. Basically wiped his hands off the dirt and left it for someone else to deal with both literally and figuratively. This show's writing is genius lmao
When I saw this scene for the first time, it may be the hardest I’ve ever laughed. I’ve been in that situation, to a lesser degree, when you see something so earth shattering on your phone but you have to play cool and just try to pretend nothing has happened.
Roman's failure to launch... It's later revealed that he actually does have problems down there. God I love how visceral the writing is. They just completely atomize a character when its their time.
1:37 Roman washing his hands at the sunk reminds me of when Gus Fring washed his hands after poisoning everyone with the tainted Tequila at the Mexican pool party in Breaking Bad
Brilliant scene so well done. Roman is so absolutely stunned with the explosion that his brain couldnt process it and left the washroom after washing hands which is what we normally do before we exit, just brain being default and muscle memory taking over.
I thought it was supposed to be something like a metaphor where he was “washing his hands” of this disaster, moving on and pretending nothing happened.
Loved the setup to this scene. This was Roman’s pet project and it was going to prove that he’s capable of leading the company into the future…….aaaaaand it all went up in flames. Onto the next thing 😂
@@seewhativescene wtf are you talking about? No one says he should be worshipped for looking young, I'm just commenting on the fact. I think your low self esteem and your lack of achieving anything in life makes you read every comment as an attack on your persona..chill, no one knows who you are or cares tbh.
I just noticed how Culkin leaves the door open as he enters the bathroom for the cameraman. Then shortly after you hear the door closing shut. haha the door shuts by itself presumable but obviously the cameraman had to get in before it shut.
The lack of sound from the explosion makes it funnier
Totally. I think that artistic choice took this to the next level 😘👌🏻
And that there’s absolutely no build up to it. He just opens the live feed and it explodes immediately
The whole serie has so many clever artistic tricks that I'm always in awe without knowing why ;)
Cringe pfp. Adam McKay would hate you.
@@pffilms2522 gonna cry? and Kanye would hate you
The double meaning of Roman not being able to get his rocket up is just… 👌
Haha never noticed that
He can though, he wanks all the time he just don't wanna bone anyone he's happy enough fucking himself. Roman is his own solemate
@@romanxxxxyoutube it's again analogous to him fucking (up) himself with the failed rocket launch hah
I have a theory that Roman was sexually abused by somebody in the family and that’s why he is the way he is when it comes to sex.
@@ToxicTony15 I don't see anybody in the family being a sex offender
The worst part isn't that it blew up, or that he fast tracked the launch, it's that he went around telling everyone he fast tracked the launch. Roman absolutely destroys any chance at plausible deniability.
In fairness, nobody pays attention to what he says, they've probably ignored tuned out everything he ever told them
@@seewhativescene Oh... they will start paying attention when his failures begin to not only reflect badly on him but the entire company.
And yet he gets away with it!
His dad was right, none of them are serious people
@@sean78745Of course they weren't, when their dad was so unserious himself, and then tried the hardest to stop them fr growing up.
I love how he washed his hands like he was trying to wash his hands of responsibility
Like Poncio Pilatos
And then immedietly licks it after.
@@israelduque3425 or lady macbeth
Or he tries to calm himself down in a panic attack many people do that
Same here, perfect scene. that's how people actually react. We instinctually wash our hands to feel cleaner, lighten stress.
Everything about this scene had me rolling. The muted video of the launch blowing up was perfect.
I couldn't remember the last time I laughed so much 😂😂
Ikr LMAO 😂😂
And the dick pic scene
Thought I was the only one lol.
I love how he sneaks a look at himself to see if he’s feeling anything but can’t even look himself in the eye 😂👌🏻
that caught my eye too! :-)
He's fine, he just needed some space
Lmao I love this comment so much
The way he puts his phone away and immediately washes his hands is so darkly hilarious to me.
I love how he literally washes his hands as if he's some modern Pontius Pilate 😂
he used the paper towel and threw it **just wherever**
I suspect this show is based on "I, Caligula"
oh you know that was intentional 🤣
It's funnier when you realize that Pontius was a "Roman" governor.

The part where he walks out like nothing happened hits home. I have had my share of walkouts like that in my lifetime 😬😅
‘So how did the launch go ?’ ‘Yeah great- went with a bang’
I was crying 😂😂😂 Roman’s face expression, whole season he was talking about this launch lmao

This is my favourite Roman scene. He couldn’t even look at himself in the mirror.

He can't even look him self in the mirror he too afraid of his father

Absolutely hilarious. Throws the phone in his pocket and washes his hands. One of the best reactions in the whole show.
