This was the first time I actually understood how Selina ever had any success in politics in the first place. Even with the gaffe on the three Rs, the handeled the whole debate rather well, or at least better than the usual stuff we see from her.

Hey, I'm still watching Seinfeld and guess what, I've just watched an episode where Elaine gets a short haircut that everyone dislikes. People mentioned before that Selena had Elain-ish hair in the SNL skit before, so I wonder if it's a running gag of sorts.

Does JLD actually have a twitch in real life? I'm trying to work out how she was able to do it on cue, maybe I just don't have the optimal control over that particular muscle...

It's not particularly hard, but then again, I used to twitch in my left eye for a long time.

Yeah. I just watched seasons 1-2 and carried it when he started playing a bigger role.

Yeah, I think that's sort of a central theme of the show. Everyone is a careerist and an incompetent gently caress-up. Basically the only thing that gets you in the lead is luck and persistence.

Yeah, I practiced for a few minutes and I could do it on command.

I have to say, I loved this episode, although I was actually really sad that Dan seemed to have pretty much rebounded back to his normal self by the end of the episode. Mellow Dan was pretty hilarious in his own right. And he was pretty handsome with that beard. I saw the three R thing coming, but it was still awesome. Pretty much the cringiest comedy that Veep has ever done. I literally couldn't watch some parts of it out of sympathetic embarrassment. Which I love.

Also, anyone who's thinking about watching The Thick of It: do it. It's amazing. Even funnier than Veep, especially series 3 and 4. There's also a website out there (can't remember the name of it off the top of my head) that has scripts, which are pretty much necessary for understanding some of the jokes, even for an anglophile like me.

The only thing this really changes is that she is the incumbent. She still has a campaign to run. Shes still hosed in NH.

I'm not picking on you, but people's short/poor memory when it comes to politics is how lovely politicians get elected.

That was a really great moment and I think the first time I've laughed with someone on the show as opposed to at them. Incredibly funny.
