The jokes that always make me laugh hardest in Veep and The Thick of It are the absurdist word-pictures where the mental image comes a second or two after the line. In this ep, it was "I'm supposed to have my finger on the button, but it's like they re-wired it to a lightbulb in a closet somewhere" that had me hitting pause to guffaw. I get the feeling these type of lines come mainly from Ianucci (there were a lot fewer successful ones in the final series of TToI where he had less involvement because he was off making the first season of Veep) I think the reason Ben is my favourite character is because he's a font of those lines, where most of the laughs from the other characters come from creative ways of saying "gently caress off, I don't like or respect you."
