Trump killed Veep

Yeah :smith: I will definitely watch, probably just for Jonah, but I can't imagine anything more insane than what has been going on in the country. Veep has been one of the best shows on TV for its entire run though, so if I trust anyone to make a show about the former VP/P funny, it's the Veep team.

For people writing this show off because of real world bullshit; the show is pretty funny even outside of politics:

I'm 100% not writing it off, but politics got a lot less funny with Trump in charge so I understand and am a part of the folks who I think have a valid question re: where the show goes in respect to making politics funny.

The starting clip of Jonah Ryan on his phone is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen and why I trust the writing staff and the cast to make me laugh a ton though.

quote:

A Splettcipe You Can Make Tonight!

Many home chefs (pointing a finger right at myself here) get bogged down with complicated recipes. But a delicious meal doesn’t have to be difficult.

Here’s my recipe for Spaghetti alla Riccardo — but there’s a twist:

1) Buy spaghetti. Any brand will do, I haven’t found a bad one yet. I don’t want to endorse any specific products here but Garofalo, the kind they sell at Costco, is delicious and shares a name with Janine Garofalo, a comedienne who’s given me her fair share of laughs.

2) Buy sauce. Ideally on the same trip to the store as (1). Again, I can’t recommend specific products due to the Splettnet code of ethics, but Ragu has been around for a long time for a reason. Prego is also delicious. If you’re already at Costco, well: Kirkland may not be the most Italian name, but I’ll be surprised if you find yourself disappointed.

3) Boil water. Simple, just put water in a pot. Not too much, don’t want it to boil over. Trust your gut.

4) Add spaghetti to sauce. Your spaghetti package will say how long to cook it for. You can trust them, they’re on your team.

5) Put something else in the sauce. Wasn’t expecting that, were you? Here’s where it gets interesting. If you put a chopped up zucchini into the sauce, well then you’ve made Spaghetti alla Riccardo. But if you put anything else? Anything you like? Then guess what? You’ve made Spaghetti alla You. An onion? Garlic? An apple? Sounds crazy, but it’s your dinner.

6) Heat up the sauce. I usually do this in my pan.

7) Strain spaghetti. This is the most fun part, in my opinion.

8) Put sauce on the spaghetti. Not too much. Remember: the number one way to spoil spaghetti is too much sauce. On the other hand the number two way is not enough sauce.

9) Enjoy.

Didn't really feel the love, hope it gets better. The scenes with Dan and the Cloud Botherer were the best.

I agree with whoever said that Trump kinda broke the show. Satire works when it's an exaggeration of reality. It's no longer satire or funny when you are just doing a documentation on modern day post-Trump politics and rehashing the news.

If they were still in the WH I'd agree but I think getting out of there will let the writers keep things fresh with the same cast of characters. I really liked this ep but I can see how some people wouldn't; they needed to establish what all the characters have been up to before getting into the rest of the season.

There was nothing about this episode that wasn't fantastic. Richard discovering masturbation (he and Jonah are bros for life :3:), Danny getting forced into a sex scandal, Mike somehow catching on to Selina's horrible upbringing before her (and them destroying the barn)..it was all great

Also, more Mary Holland, please :swoon:

Mary Holland looking loving fantastic, Jonah getting dumped in spectacular fashion, Adam Scott as a talk show host, Amy getting pimped out, Kent Kareeming it up, Jonah's uncle, this episode was peak Veep.

I love how he's such a bumbling simpleton yet somehow hyper competent at everything, like casually speaking fluent Arabic to Selina's side piece.

Why did Jonah's campaign come crashing down so suddenly? I didn't get why Sherman Tans suddenly pulled up and ran.

Jonah had the government by the balls (heh) and gave it all up because of Daylight Savings Time last episode.

Jonah's Uncle laughing so hard while he was being dumped might be the funniest thing I have ever seen. Holy poo poo I love that character

Yeah I think that might have topped his elementary school appearance, that dynamic is so loving funny.

That was a slightly above average season with a great finale that set up what should be a really fun next year. Gary as an actual candy-striper had me in stitches.

Mike had it coming, but still :( I'd be shocked if they got rid of Matt Walsh but nobody with Selina really likes him, does he go to work for Jonah?

Is it just me being sensitive, or should they tone down the "Selina says mean things offhandedly to Catherine" stuff? It's like they ramped to Family Guy/Meg proportions this year.



Looking forward to more Jonah campaigning next year. Has this been confirmed as renewed? I got Series Finale vibe with all the flashbacks/origin stories.

Henchman of Santa posted:

Same with Furlong and Will. Many of my favorite lines in the show come from them but it became repetitive having that once an episode.

Agreed on Cathrine, disagree on Will, but only because it doesn't seem to bother Will in the least anymore.

This past season was the first I thought wasn't funnier than the previous one. It was still really funny but I think they've gotten about as much out of Selina as they could have without sticking her back in the WH and I'd rather have them wrap things up on top.
