Asking the definition of a Luddite triggering an ever-listening electronic device to look it up is a genius nested joke.

[zu]

FFS sake, this isn't even a joke, all politicians should have to comply with this. Government should be transparent

[vcatta]

This was such a brilliant move by Tony, the silence was deafening 😂😂 And Rhondas face, priceless! 🤣

[gunnersubbu]

A rare (but important) victory for Tony where he managed to outsmart everybody. I was literally laughing and cheering when I first saw this scene.

TONY: "Who's on board?'
Crickets chirping

[Ceadus]

They don't wanna be tracked but they're fine tracking every damn thing we do.

[martynradford]

Been saying this for years. Easily doable. Everything they ever say or hear. Everything they see. Everything available to all.
The ferocity of their fight against it will indicate how overdue it is I imagine.

[smnoy]

Love how swiftly the mood changes once he starts suggesting that government employees also be tracked

[dampaul]

I love the disdain Rhonda has for Tony.

[NeonPixels]

I love how he waited for them to say they were on board before dropping the location on them LOL, jeeeebaited.

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

Considering most of the show is Tony struggling and rarely winning this was such a great moment where he finally got one over on the higher ups.

[Orpheonix]

Context: Government was trying to pass a National ID card to track citizens. This episode was pure genius 💯

[MemekingJag]

siri answering the question about 'what is a luddite' is great

[clangboomsteam]

There's a reason why they usually trial these things first on the poor, and regional people, and Aboriginal people.

[jilewa]

whooshhhh ! everything’s logged… on a database… forever 😮
Way to strike terror in their corrupt little hearts Tony !

[kennethmoses]

It’s no big deal when the _bottom_ floors get flooded with sewage from a burst pipe, but Upper Management’s mood shifts oh so quickly when they notice the tea tastes a little funny.

[ahazen]

This was a masterclass scene.

The phone listening.

The seat squirming.

The A/V team immediately destroying his proposal recording.

Chef's kiss.

[Elliotsurvives]

if the government is going to survey citizens then the people in the government need to be constantly surveyed and their data needs to become public

[yourway]

The new generation of Parks and Recreation humor. Love it.

This was classic gold by the writers. A perfect way to deliver a reality check to the ministers, who are only trying to boost their own careers, at the expense of everyone else. Perfectly delivered by all actors. Gold star
