The funniest show on TV is back Sunday, April 24th on HBO!  TRAILER Mandatory Wikipedia Blurb posted:Veep is an American television series, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, set in the office of Selina Meyer, a fictional Vice President, and subsequent President, of the United States. The series was created by Armando Iannucci, who created the British political comedy series The Thick of It, and also wrote and directed that series' film spin-off In the Loop (2009), all of which feature the same writing staff. The fourth season ended with Selina Meyer as standing president caught in an unprecedented tied election for the presidency with Republican candidate O'Brien. The fifth season will mostly focus on the subsequent voting and may see Meyer's current Vice President and super-popular man-of-the-people Tom James (Hugh Laurie) becoming president instead. Former showrunner/producer Armando Iannucci (The Day Today/I'm Alan Partridge/The Thick of It/In The Loop) stepped down at the end of the fourth season and was replaced by David Mandel (Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm).

I went through the previous seasons in preparation and the second season episode "Running" is a complete masterpiece. Selina walks through a glass door and subsequently gets high on an unfortunate mix of anti-depressants and painkillers and that whole part of the show is the funniest thing ever. JLD nails it.

Great start to the show, bunch of laughs in there. Selina eyeing up the "lookalike" in disbelief was a good gag. Also I agree that Richard is a gem of a character.

I hope they do more stuff on Sue's age. Also I like the thought of Kent watching something like The Godfather. He'd want to be the consiglieri.

Someone please gif Jonah's pained walk in his snazzy new boots. I liked the foreshadowing for it in the earlier scene with the quick shot of Jonah checking out the Nevada guy's boots.

Vegetable posted:Chris Addison of "The Thick of It" directed the latest episode. Thought that was pretty interesting. He's been a part of the writing/directing team since the first season I think. He probably did similar stuff on The Thick of It and In The Loop too and Iannucci brought him along for Veep.

"There are so many friendly and diverse faces here and I wish that mother were alive to see.. this on her property." Gary slumped in the wheelchair like Hawking killed me.

The clumsy editing when Jonah is chopping wood was total Partridge, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK__FI5UZCY

Helsinki is one of my favorites too, not least of all because I'm a Finn myself and about 99% of the episode survives scrutiny. They got almost all of it right; cop cars and police uniforms and stuff like that, the only iffy parts were when characters spoke Finnish (Dave Foley and Sally Phillips mostly, though they were both excellent in the episode and being non-Finns it's understandable), and in one scene they had the wrong kinds of dumpsters for Helsinki which was kinda funny. E: Also, "Danteeksi" was pretty clever. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Jun 2, 2016 |

I loved how Richard was still so in character as Jonah's old teacher that he scolded Jonah for swearing.

As great as that ep was, for some reason Mike's phone going "gracias!" got the biggest laugh out of me. Illinois Smith posted:Yes but on the other hand who gives a flying gently caress? I'm sure Minna's last appearance also had some questionable Finnish in there.

Cliff Racer posted:Drop Meyer and all of the cast members related to her and have the whole show focus around Jonah's office and how he fucks everything up and votes the wrong way on stuff.

Great capper. I would watch a political drama with JLD as the lead. She's so good. So Jonah has ball cancer.

Nice little missed moment in the ep where Richard realizes his mom wasn't his mom and Selina just snaps him out of by being her drunken self-centered self.
