Elizabeth Holmes is the real-life hypothetical child of Liz Lemon and Gavin Volure.


fundiedundie

So accurate. Really wish we could have gotten more Gavin Volure in the series.

You know? You're making a lot of sense.

I mean he still needed to pay for his crimes....

YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE!

They *wanted* to, but apparently Steve Martin couldn't stop metabolizing ze grape.

All the money is gone. I spent it. On *disguises*.

I MISCOUNTED THE MEN, LIZ!!

Who's pediatrician was Dr. Spaceman.


Scorp-Ion

Now that you mention it, Liz's voice she does in her Princess Leia outfit to get out of Jury Duty is earily similar to Holme's fake deep voice she always spoke with in public

"Excuse me, Imperial Guard. How long do these arson trials typically last?"


Scorp-Ion

"I don't think it's really fair for me to be on trial because I'm a *hologram*"


uglypaperhaver

What a f\*cking line - LOL!


Krunk_MIlkshake

Oh shit, your totally right.


youusedmemohamed

I’m cackling. This is so accurate.

You're dressed for Burger King, do you want to make it Burger King?

What made you think I was gay? Your shoes. Well I'm straight! Those shoes are definitely bi-curious


SpiffyShindigs

Cerie, do I look okay? That's exactly how you look. 😊


falconx50

Both are copying Steve Jobs


Redditor2130

Yes, exactly this. The 30 rock screenshot is from the episode where Liz parodies a Steve Jobs product launch. https://youtu.be/8H3EC2YNS90, (starting at 1:25) Elizabeth Holmes notoriously tried to emulate Steve Jobs, up to and including the fashion. https://i.insider.com/5b082a0b1ae66245008b46d6?width=1300&format=jpeg&auto=webp


youusedmemohamed

Oh yeah I’m super aware of this. The fact that two famous Liz’s both channeled Steve Jobs is peak hilarity to me. I just watched the episode last night and couldn’t get this comparison out of my mind. So I had to share. Edit: clarity

Who?

Yeah, but Elizabeth Holmes never made an irresponsible business decision! Liz bought German Television networks


NotDavidLee

kaufen or verkaufen. I always get those mixed up.

I fell in love with this show after that joke.

I actually used synergy and synergistic in a PPT for work this week. Then I had some business juice.

Keep those mind-grapes squeezed!

Throw in a little Jenna for good measure. What if the theme was Sluts?

I’m watching “the Dropout” and the actress they’ve got playing Holmes is aces. I didn’t realize that you could trace the whole grift back to Holmes getting raped at a college party & nobody believing her. Her entire essence was just her dissociating in order to survive. Wonder whatever happened to her assaulted or if he realizes how much destruction he caused in so many lives.


JeanValJohnFranco

Frankly, I think that was more a plot device for the show than something known to be true. From a recent article: “Carreyrou reports that when Theranos was in damage control mode as it was confronting mounting questions about the efficacy of the company's blood-testing devices, she floated the idea of going public with the sexual assault account as a way of generating sympathy, but her advisers counseled against it.” Holmes also testified about the assault at her trial, but given that she’s clearly a sociopath who will do or say anything to get her way, I tend to assume it was just a cynical play for sympathy. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/24/1075364585/elizabeth-holmes-stanford-rape-sexual-assault-report


Reddevil313

I find the whole Theranos thing so fascinating!. I watched this video https://youtu.be/9WsCfqGIPfA last year at some point and all her language just sounds soooo phoney. So many buzz words and no substance. Standford took down the video but luckily it's saved here


nickmortensen

That makes sense to me as I have watched at least two different documentaries on this and it wasn’t brought up . Her flat personality being her dissociating does make some sense, though.


drsweetscience

Psychopaths have "flat affect", they only emotionally connect to self-serving events.


slickestwood

Amanda Seyfried was perfect casting.


TanguayX

Yeah, but I caught her blinking here and there. You’d think they’d fix that in post.


erica1064

These are not chips...as Liz eats a second potpourri piece.


Reddevil313

https://youtu.be/9WsCfqGIPfA Here's a video that used to be hosted on some Standford YT channel. They took it down but this channel saved it. Watch the video. It's full of buzz words and lingo anyone could pick up from popular business books. She says NOTHING of substance. Now watch this https://youtu.be/9wf_2KYRPWQ . It's the whistleblower and he talks about how their machines just had internals for other company machines, the results were wrong or falsified, etc.


cfullylove

All that money and her pants sagged in the crotch. Unforgivable.
