Trailer dropped earlier this week



I've been watching seasons 1-4 as a companion to this election season. Good times. Love this show.

One of the best shows on tv right now. I absolutely love all the one-liners.

I was late to the party on this show, but man I love it now. The smack talk is at historic levels, they know how to drop f-bombs like nobody's business.

quote:
In early 2013, Julia Louis-Dreyfus received what she considered the ultimate fan note.

"Dear Julia," it began, "Hope you get everything you want as Veep gun control, immigration and education reform." The letterhead read Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State.

For Louis-Dreyfus, it was more than flattery. Here was confirmation, at the highest level, of just how much her HBO comedy had won the respect of the finicky Beltway crowd.

Then, some two years later, Louis-Dreyfus would learn of a second document the note behind the note, as it were. This one, dated around the same time and unveiled as part of a batch of exposed Clinton emails, was from the secretary of state to her then-aide, Robert V. Russo.

"A friend wants me to sign something for Julia Lewis-Dreyfus for Veep. Any ideas?" Clinton wrote, her question (and mangling of the star's name) suggesting unfamiliarity with the series. Russo responded: "Let me brainstorm on this one/do some research. I confess I haven't seen the show!"

I didnt think Id like the Richard character but holy cow he and Jonah have fantastic chemistry.

They came out swinging and knocked it out of the ****ing park

Dan, Amy, Richard and Jonah all together will be fun

Is this the last season? It seems her daughter's documentary will be a nail in the coffin and they all go off to prison together?

Nope. Season 6 was ordered for next spring.

I woke up my kid laughing out loud last night. The way she talks to Catherine kills me. "Why is that your hair?" "Can't you just make up a little dance?"

Richard and Jonah are fantastic together. Richard just makes me crack up with his line delivery.

It is his line delivery that puts it over the top. One of the funniest things to me Richard ever did was not even a spoken line. He was in the car waiting on Jonah and Jonah did not know where he was at. Jonah asked aloud where he was at and Richard honked the horn and when the camera panned to him he was calmly sitting there.

This to me is the best show on television.

I just went back and rewatched a few parts to get some quotes correct and good Lord this show is funny. Ist so sharp and quick. I remember reading an article a few seasons ago that talked about how Veep had twice as many jokes as any other show per episode.

This is my favorite comedy ever. Wow.

That episode was absolutely brilliant. Turns out there was hope for brilliant quick wit comedy after Arrested Development.
Joan Wilder

We had to rewind that scene with Richard multiple times because we were laughing so hard at "which was my fallback".

"But you get me my coffee?!"

"Yes, which is much harder...because of all your different moods."

Richard Splett has always been my favorite character on the show. Just excellent.

Richard T. Splett. But he doesn't know why he said "T", his middle name is John.

i think that was the same episode as my favorite Jonah and Richard scene when they interrupt Friday night drinks in the west wing:

"I like my Bourbon like I like my women...18 years old and wet"
<crickets>
"Actually I'm more of a White Russian man myself."
"Here, take this."
"Yeah, this is good too."

This is the most entertaining show I have ever watched. You watch it again and you picked up on something you missed.

i highly recommend The Thick of It, Armando Ianucci's previous show (on Hulu I think), as well as the movie with the same cast, called In the Loop (on Netflix).
