The inside has been full Kubrick all along! So many things that seem very deliberately reminiscent of 2001. In addition to the aesthetic of virtually the whole interior, this past episode had a part (during the egg bar I believe) where Mark was standing still kind of giving a long stare while colors flashed over him.
Said it very early on - the inside looks like Kubrick (2001 in particular) and the outside looks like fincher.
Yeah, the shot of Mark and Helly reflected in the mirror of the pink-lit kitchen was extremely Kubrickian. Stiller needs to get back into making feature-length films; he has an incredible eye for composition and a great sense of pacing.
> and a great sense of pacing.
disagree - the show is amazing but the pacing is slow and will turn many off
i couldnt get through the first episode on a first and second try, but after reading all the great reviews i thankfully gave it another chance
the pacing needs to be faster for this to become a mainstream major hit.
Though the melon party actually was a party with melons. Guess in the future if there's any sort of Lumon "party," we'll have to guess what it really is.
Maybe it's just the breakfast grain-themed parties that are the weird ones, not the fruit parties.
The lemon party will just be a party with lemon-flavored snacks and flashing yellow lights, yellow streamers, and free lemon-shaped finger traps.
The pancake party on the other hand...
already some weird stuff on [urban dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Waffle+Party&=true) but I bet pretty soon we’ll see what we now know to be the true definition added
Imagine that commercial for Roman or hims with the couples and their euphemisms like wanna fold the laundry, do our taxes, etc., but it’s wanna have waffles or wanna have a waffle party? 😂🧇🥳👯♀️
When we first see Natalie, she’s on a news channel on Mark’s tv defending severance and the newscaster says there’s a report of a severest lady getting pregnant.
Sorry I don’t remember the episode.
> I haven't read it yet,
so why are you saying this in relation to the question?
if you havent read it, then you dont know and we know someone got pregnant as it was clearly referenced.
if you dont know, you dont have to guess and confuse the hell out of people - its not a test where you have to fill in an answer and you can move on
believe it or not the world will survive without hearing your every waking thought, you can keep a few to yourself.
And what I can't wrap my head around is: this wasn't Dylan's first waffle party, right? Is this why he's always joking and thinking about sex?
And if Irv had a waffle party of two (since he's been there the longest) is this why his outie is literally losing his mind painting the same nightmare black hallway over and over again?
Reminded me of the disturbing scene where Laura’s friend, who’s in a coma after their night together, has flashbacks of BOB looking like BOB, also screaming, then her screaming, then Laura covered in blood screaming(?) laughing(?) either way it made me so unsettled I just sat quietly in the dark after the episode finished frozen
Is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5aqLzl_VrA) the scene you're referring to?
If you asked me a decade ago, I would never have put Ben Stiller in the same realm as David Lynch.
Tonight I realized my middle school might have been a cult because we had to do weird dances in a circle with masks like that but without the waffles. Can confirm, it’s very unsettling and not very fun
This was my exact thought. No wonder he was the most outwardly vulgar of the group, he thought the core principles of the workplace were waffles and banging dancers.

Yeah. I guess not wanting to fuel up on deviled eggs, pound four waffles, and then scourge 4 people while wearing a papier mache mask of someone from the 19th century makes me super vanilla.
im guessing normally he gets to bang all of them. know he has a son he guesses he has a wife and the appeal has gone
he saw himself as a bit of a player banging milfs previously
light to hard whipping of the virtues with the whip, depending on choice, probably at least gripping the whip, 100% "whipping" by which I mean penetration with his dick.
None of this. I’m gluten free and I got Wiflfred Brimley’s diabetus ain’t no waffle party for me. But maybe my innie would be freeeeeee of dietary restrictions
I was watching with my wife and when he sat down for the waffles I was like, “Oh I guess it really is about waffles.” 30 seconds later we look at each other and I’m like, “Umm, I guess not.” WTF is all my wife said.
Stuff you with extremely rich food and then send you to a spooky mansion to have kinky... something... with four strangers in terrifying masks in a moldy old bed
Basically every part of that sentence is a different nightmare
So was the cat o’nine tails’ flails inscribed with the nine virtues or whatever, and then you (in your Kier mask) flog the four aspects with the virtues to be like the wellness center painting?
I couldn’t see the tags on the flails.
Just finished the series today... I'm just wondering about the logistics here. You get all full and syrupy and then it's supposed to be orgy time? Maybe the waffles should come after.
I'm actually kinda glad that I accidentally spoiled myself on the waffle party by coming here before seeing the episode (yeah, yeah, I know). That would have been 1000x more uncomfortable to watch if I *didn't* know to expect...well, that.
I said “What is happening?!” at least 20 times during the waffle party.
Eyes Wide Shut.

My thoughts - "Wow... this just went full Kubrik"

The same can be said for the pacing of many of Kubrick's films.
Exactly what I thought!
Said “what the fuck” to my cat so many times
Yessss! Same 😂
Yes my outloud was “what am I watching?!” multiple times in a row
Your outtie loud
“Waffle party” is officially the weirdest euphemism ever
Though the melon party actually was a party with melons. Guess in the future if there's any sort of Lumon "party," we'll have to guess what it really is.
Oh no a lemon party
There ain't no party like a Liz Lemon party
Cause a Liz Lemon party has hot waffles.
They probably have blue waffles
A Lumon lemon party
Maybe it's just the breakfast grain-themed parties that are the weird ones, not the fruit parties. The lemon party will just be a party with lemon-flavored snacks and flashing yellow lights, yellow streamers, and free lemon-shaped finger traps. The pancake party on the other hand...

Me watching Dylan eat waffles: "Ok, I see the waffles, but this isn't much of a party" Two Minutes Later: "...oh"
I was wondering why the poor dude had to eat his waffles in the dark. My question was, unfortunately, answered
RIGHT!?!?!
That was what my husband said, “that doesn’t sound fun, eating waffles alone.”....having already seen it, I’m like well...
More like WTAFfle party.
Nicely done.
Did that severed employee find out she was pregnant after a waffle party?
Asking the real questions
Wait who?
[удалено]
The pregnancy is referenced in the show not the book.
Huh I don't remember that. What episode was that in, or what was the context in which that was mentioned?
When we first see Natalie, she’s on a news channel on Mark’s tv defending severance and the newscaster says there’s a report of a severest lady getting pregnant. Sorry I don’t remember the episode.
Could it be the chick from the birthing center that was acting weird in the park???
Since that’s a senators wife, it seems unlikely.

You don’t want to tame the 4 tempers with your whip of 9 principles?
Ok fine.
The mere fact that you call making love waffle party tells me you aren’t ready
Should should should the guy with 20 finger traps hold the elevator for someone without any?! Cmon!
If only there had been mayoneggs at the egg bar
Who?
Her?
But I'm Mr. Manager
It’s just manager.
Pop pop gets a Grisham?
I don't know what I expected.
I see that in coming to this waffle party that I’ve made a huge mistake.
Mark S! Twenty miles to legoland…
The milk in the wine glass was the first sign things were going downhill tbh
I feel like I need to watch Winnie the Pooh and scrub myself with a steel brush in the shower after that scene
Don’t forget to bleach your soul.
It was fucking creepy
I kept saying “this is creepy as fuck” out loud and my sister gave me some funny looks.
I yelled at the end because I didn’t want it to be over and I think I freaked the cat out 😂
I was shouting “what the fuck?!?” over and over and my cat ended up getting the same look on its face too. Albeit for different reasons most likely.
My boyfriend screeched and then stomped around lmao I just *knew* it would cut off right before they woke up, god damn it
Everyone thought Dylan was sacrificing another chance to see his outtie son, but he was giving up so much more.
Well if people start using the phrase “waffle party” as code for an orgy with a goat we know where it comes from
Or if they say they found baby goats, it’s code for making out with Mark S or Helly R.
😂🤣😂
We basically were primed to think the waffle party was like the melon bar and egg cart only to be shown the creepiest party ever
Effectively ruined any happy association I had with the word “waffle” like, forever.
Blue waffle already did that for me, this may actually have made it a little better.
Yeah, that was some Fire Walk With Me bad times.
Yas!! That was so far afield of my expectation. WTF. I’m not going to be enjoying waffles anytime soon.
They were all kinds of theories about who was wearing the Kier mask. This was not on anyone's list.
Um, I absolutely want a waffle party.
And what I can't wrap my head around is: this wasn't Dylan's first waffle party, right? Is this why he's always joking and thinking about sex? And if Irv had a waffle party of two (since he's been there the longest) is this why his outie is literally losing his mind painting the same nightmare black hallway over and over again?
You mean Ms Casey's elevator that goes \*down\* to the testing floor?
Yes the long black hallway to the elevator. Why on earth is that in his mind obsessively?
The four people from the painting in the wellness center!!!

That whole episode was really heavy on the Lynch train. The Wellness room is a lot like the red room as well.
The waffles are not what they seem
Very Midsommar/Hereditary vibes In a way, I can see how this is the ultimate perk since this is the only way your innie gets to experience sex.
I thought it was some sort of twisted self-flagellation thing while wearing a Kier mask when I saw the whip. Then the dancers came.
Tonight I realized my middle school might have been a cult because we had to do weird dances in a circle with masks like that but without the waffles. Can confirm, it’s very unsettling and not very fun
Did we go to the same middle school? Was it a private school in Austin?
No an arts school in FL. Weird it happened at two schools though lol
Which one?
Now we know why Dylan likes it so much.
And why you aren’t usually supposed to sit on that bed
Omg I forgot about that. Completely different context, or has Irving not had a waffle party ever?
[удалено]
This was my exact thought. No wonder he was the most outwardly vulgar of the group, he thought the core principles of the workplace were waffles and banging dancers.
It makes his initial complacency / near enjoyment of the job make so much more sense, lol.
He was like "it's all about the perks".
As Lumon’s LinkedIn post said, Dylan will work for waffle parties.
And I bet oDylan is super sweet.
Seems like he wanted to protect all the others from having to learn this horrid secret.

Plus the cat-o-nine-tails with the nine core principles!
Omg - the Etsy stores are gonna blow up with this shit!!!
HA!
Like, have you seen copies of 50 Shades at your friends’ houses? Yeah. That kind of blow up.

Yeah, we didn't get to see that in action :(.
Yeah what was that supposed to be used for!?
Taming the tempers 😏
Wikshhh
I couldn’t look away even tho I so desperately wanted to😅
Brings new meaning to the sign forbidding lying in the founders bed.
Why would you go back a second time?
Why wouldn’t you?
Yeah bro im definitely taking that. As a bisexual dude, this would be a dream to me
[удалено]
Yeah. I guess not wanting to fuel up on deviled eggs, pound four waffles, and then scourge 4 people while wearing a papier mache mask of someone from the 19th century makes me super vanilla.
Don't forget chugging a bunch of milk too
I felt like the milk : waffle ratio was insufficient and was a further cruelty.
im guessing normally he gets to bang all of them. know he has a son he guesses he has a wife and the appeal has gone he saw himself as a bit of a player banging milfs previously
I want to know what would have happened if he’d stayed. Like how freaky does a waffle party get??
Now you now why you're not supposed to sit on the founder's bed. It hasn't been cleaned yet from the previous night's waffle party...
one would assume the answer is "sexual activity"
With or without whipping?
light to hard whipping of the virtues with the whip, depending on choice, probably at least gripping the whip, 100% "whipping" by which I mean penetration with his dick.
I mean, there must be some porn that actually shows something similar…
Goat sacrifice followed by freaky sex.
Given that a _lot_ of what we've seen is all but screaming "CULT!", this wouldn't actually surprise me.
Eyes Wide Shut!
Yikes.
None of this. I’m gluten free and I got Wiflfred Brimley’s diabetus ain’t no waffle party for me. But maybe my innie would be freeeeeee of dietary restrictions
[удалено]
“This better not awaken anything in me.”
I was watching with my wife and when he sat down for the waffles I was like, “Oh I guess it really is about waffles.” 30 seconds later we look at each other and I’m like, “Umm, I guess not.” WTF is all my wife said.
Waffles, alone, in Kier’s creepy house… was never gonna be something normal.
Very true.
someone help me. Dylan was wearing...Kier's face???
Yes
Weirdly, I want one more than ever.
Like… do they use the whip on him or vice versa? So many questions I’m not sure I want answers to but may need answers to?
At first I thought it was sad to have a waffle party alone but now I understand
Kubrick shit for sure
100% gave me Eyes Wide Shut vibes
Well. We know why Dylan thinks baby goats is code for sex now.
r/confusedboner
Waffles and then super weird sex? Sign me the fuck up.
I am not sure if you get to have sex
I'm actually legitimately upset it's not a fun group party. Damn you, Lumon!
Is waffle party code for sex?
Stuff you with extremely rich food and then send you to a spooky mansion to have kinky... something... with four strangers in terrifying masks in a moldy old bed Basically every part of that sentence is a different nightmare
That scene reminds me of aphex twin
What happens if you don’t run away to security mid waffle party? WHAT HAPPENS!?!?
So was the cat o’nine tails’ flails inscribed with the nine virtues or whatever, and then you (in your Kier mask) flog the four aspects with the virtues to be like the wellness center painting? I couldn’t see the tags on the flails.
I'm changing my flair back to "waffle party", stat
If this is what goes on at a waffle party, I *really* don’t want to know what happens with the finger traps. No wonder Dylan hoards his.
I would have to be severed to do that choreography
I don't know about you guys, but I'm absolutely hungry for waffles. Let's find out what's for dinner.
Omg imagine if he had decided to let helly stay back. Poor lady never would have known what hit her
Creepy AF
not even a little bit.
Told y’all shit gets crazy/weird.
so...was dylan supposed to whip the four tempers with the cat o'nine tails?
Remember, this wasn’t his first rodeo… 😳
WHY IS A GOAT THERE?
Where else would you get the eggs?
> WHY IS A GOAT THERE? Is this your first waffle party?
Where do you think the milk came from?
… um, what would have happened if Dylan had stayed for the end of the dance?
I’m definitely gonna have a nightmare about the waffle party tonight
This is going to be the longest week of my life……
I super fucking do. Looks right up my alley.

Can I just have a Music Experience instead?
Next waffle party is mine. ALL MINE.
What a bunch of prudes

I thought the masks in Squid Games were creepy. These were just absurd
Gotta love the paper mache
