 "I hate this country." - Selina Meyer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DU_VyHcWL4 Not wanting to be overshadowed by how dumb and absurd politics are in the real-life United States, Veep is back on HBO on April 16th, at 10:30 PM! Last season, Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and then Tom James (Hugh Laurie) lost the presidency to Laurrrrra Montez. Also Jonad has testicular cancer, Gary had a remarkable meltdown and a hard drive that contained Catherine and Marjorie's documentary "Kissing Your Sister" about the Meyer administration mysteriously vanished. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Mar 28, 2017 |

For people writing this show off because of real world bullshit; the show is pretty funny even outside of politics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYOE8kL3dac

The last "real" president in Veep was Carter.

Anyone watch it? It took a while to get going but "You look like you should be underground worshiping an atomic bomb" and the shaving jokes killed me.

Minna Häkkinen is great. Though there is no such expression in Finland. That was the best episode of the season so far though.

So this is going to be Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Emmy episode. Good stuff.

I think this show is still extremely funny and way above pretty much any comedy in recent years, but I absolutely agree that it took a turn after Iannucci left. The comedy and the satirical elements felt way, way sharper in the seasons he was at the helm and now the show feels much more like a traditional comedy. There are still many bits in it where it's appropriately edgy in a hilarious way and they make good use of the characters but now it definitely lacks something. It's really the characters that keep it alive and as funny as it is and that's largely thanks to Iannucci's touch.

The change between seasons 4 and 5 was pretty subtle, maybe Iannucci had plans for it before he left that they used or something. It's been a gradual change but there's definitely a difference. Like I said, I think it's still a fantastic show, but it's not what it was when Iannucci was the showrunner. Not worse, just different.

How long has it been since both Fry and Laurie were on the same show? Not together obviously but kinda neat to have them on the same show.
