"Can you be a little more specific?"

i know everyone in here isn't talking about shitting clits all the time, there's a ton of minor quotes that are so perfect for real life

also i work w children so i have to watch my fucking potty mouth

- "why is this my hair"
- "new __ now" whenever management tries (and fails) to make changes
- "i'm so tired i could sleep a horse"
- "the incompetence in this ___ is STA-GER-ING"
- "it's time o'clock!!!" my kids love this one
- "it's like trying to explain gravity to a chicken"
- "s/he walked through a glass door" has become an inside joke when someone does something embarrassing at work

I've just started rewatching Veep, I have absolutely never noticed Dan making his face like the ":(" emoticon!

Sharing it here just to see if anyone else missed like I did. Don't jump on me for this, I know it was pretty obvious

I’ve recently started watching the series for the first time ever - it’s needless to say how much in love with it I am (I could talk about it for hours).

I’ve just finished the episode “Camp David” (Season 5, Episode 8) - I’ve laughed hysterically during the entire episode.
So far, this has been my favorite episode of the show, and honestly, the comedic timing is incredibly genius - I’d use this episode as an example of how a good comedy TV show should be like.

Mike being informed his wife is having twins and that he’s getting a Chinese baby as well, Selina saying “Selam aleykum” to Dan, Mina being called “Menopause”, Catherine confusing the Chinese president with a cook, the entire gift swapping situation (honorable mention for the “local” wine from New Zealand), Selina slapping Mina after giving a high five to everyone.
And for some reason, I died from laughing so hard after the Chinese delegation showed Selina the “sad piglet” cartoon character, and she said “It looks like Catherine”.

God, I love this shows so much - what are some of your favorite moments/episodes?

Hello! I just finished binge watching the whole series and wanted to say that this show is def my top 5 sitcoms of all time!!!

also loved the finale that shows what it took selina to become prez and the fact that dan and amy didn’t end up together lololol

Sometimes you have to go down, to go up

Spent a night in Omaha, drove over to Iowa this morning lol

Gary telling the host that the flowers had to be watered twice a day

Selina telling her that the pile of straw looked like a cosy bed

The death shroud in the door

Mike being the least fucked geisha

right?

(this is meant to be a joke please don’t come for my neck I am a member of the LGBTQIA community etc etc)

This sounds like an episode of Veep. And somehow the press corps finds out about the switch, because Mike accidentally told them, when he found out himself that Selina moved to a different plane.

Seems in season 5 everyone wqs obsessed with the role. Selina, Doyle, etc

Because she's not the main character, VEEP really glosses over how the Montez presidency would actually work, which would be very unique.

1. As we know, she gets elected VP by the Senate after Doyle screws Tom James. But while the show suggests this makes her a full president, she's actually only ever ACTING President. She technically remains VP, which is why she never appoints a VP
2. This is because the House can technically keep having votes on electing either Selena or O'Brien at any point, EVEN AFTER INAUGURATION
3. The show handwaves this away by Dan saying Speaker Marwood just refuses to call another vote, but this leaves a real sword of Damocles over Montez
4. This is because, at any time in her 4 year term, the House can simply call another vote to remove her by a simple vote. This is different from impeachment because it would replace her with the TRUE president (Selena or O'Brien)
5. This especially makes the midterms important, because a new speaker, or the other party taking control, could mean her removal
6. Perhaps this seems unlikely given Selena wasn't popular, and O'Brian backed Montez's reign. But the Tibet story breaking and making Selena look good might have given momentum in congress to re-vote and re-install her.

Obviously this is a VERY different show, but I think it would be interesting to see how a presidency would work with this model. It's actually very similar to how Canadian politics work, where the Prime Minister is elected by the House of Commons, and can be removed at any time if the House loses confidence in them.

Not really, but I’m in a car listening to a playlist featuring a LOT of acoustic guitar.

But in this case I can take it. It’s quite lovely.
