TV: HBO's Veep

[StrangeVision]

I thought it was a good episode.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I definitely liked it. Not as funny as the rest of the season, but it was good

 

[Hasbro]

I think my biggest laugh was the perfect reference that Jonah went to Franklin Pierce High School. It works on so many levels.

 

[KlausJopling]

I thought the flashbacks all worked. Gary as a candy striper killed me. And Richard was the star of this season, his one liners are so good and they are so understated you can almost miss most of them.

 

[Carlzner]

Not a hilarious episode but I really enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to next season. Can't say the same about SV.

 

[Epictetus]

That scene with Uncle Jeff and Jonah in the hospital

 

[Hasbro]

It's going to be a Meyer/Ryan ticket

 

[donghabs98]

That episode was as witty as ever. So many great lines and zingers. Louie-Dryfus was in top form. That scene where Kent kept correcting her pronunciation of Navada was hysterical, as well as the scene where Dan gets fired and the zinger with text auto correct.

Also as a hockey fan, the line about the NHL all star weekend was great.

I'm just getting to season 5 now and loved the line about the NHL all star game. It's hilarious because it's so true.

Last season premieres tonight with season 2 of Barry.

Took forever to get into this show but it's become one of my favorite comedy shows ever. Rewatched the whole thing several times.

 

[HanSolo]

Well don't know if anyone watched but man, this show didn't miss a beat. Lots of funny stuff here.

 

[peate]

Just found out Julia had to deal with a bout of cancer, explains why the show was on pause. She's a fighter. Great show too.

 

[TP]

One of my favorites. No wonder it keeps winning awards!

Last night was no exception. Great episode.

I tried to get into it about halfway through season 4 but I wasn't really paying attention to the pilot so I was bored. Tried again last summer and I've been obsessed. I've rewatched the series more times than I care to admit. For my money it's the best TV comedy ever made.

If you haven't seen it... First three seasons of Arrested Development is amazing as well. #1 and #2 with veep for me.

I've never seen the other 3, Need to get on that.

Always Sunny and I believe Chappelle's Show are on Hulu and Parks and Rec is on Netflix.

Curb Your Enthusiasm has to be a top tier show for me.

Crap. I knew I was forgetting one. I guess it's better to just do a top 10.

[David Dennison]

Jonah has got to become president, right?

 

[McOilers97]

Jonah has got to become president, right?

That would be very on-brand for Veep.

 

[HanSolo]

Jonah has got to become president, right?

Seems like it.

Wouldn't be surprised if these became the mirrors to reality

Selina: Hillary
Jonah: Trump
Buddy Calhoun: Jeb Bush
Tom James: Bernie Sanders (though Tom is a corporate guy, so more of that popularity/honest candidate element)

 

[StrangeVision]

Selina going to be veep for Jonah.

 

[peate]

Best political satire I've seen ever. Jonah is the goofiest, but Selina really is the best. When they're reading her the report on herself and she acts out every negative comment in the report on cue, then she steals the comment from the stage installer guy for her announcement.

She doesn't want to say "thoughts and prayers" but does so in the most roundabout way possible.

I also thought her feeding the dog chocolate was funny "No I don't want this"

Then Gary to Richard "Richard, is chocolate bad for dogs?"

Richard "No not bad."

Gary "Oh goo..."

Richard "Fatal."
