New episode tonight:

Thanksgiving

Spoiler

Selina celebrates Thanksgiving in her own special way. Ben (Kevin Dunn) and Kent manage a Thanksgiving Day crisis, deploying Tom James and VP Doyle (Phil Reeves) to make statements in Selina's absence. Ben sends Dan to work for Tom James.

 

[talisayNon]

omg Jonah

 

[VenomousCoffee]

So when Dan took his Tom James info to the two veteran staffers (Buttfucker and Office Space Guy), they already knew and laughed to blow him off? Did it seem that way to anyone else?

 

[Chase17]

Great episode.
"I have a bachelors degree from Cornell in" "No you don't".

So when Dan took his Tom James info to the two veteran staffers (Buttfucker and Office Space Guy), they already knew and laughed to blow him off? Did it seem that way to anyone else?

I saw it as them not believing him and just making fun of him for a crazy idea. And it being something that will probably bite them later.

Same. They were overly dismissive of him because of his past problems and the lowly status he currently finds himself in, when they should have been taking his warning seriously.

 

[Hazmat]

So, I have to imagine that Jonah will end up with the tie-breaking vote in the House, or is that just too obvious?

I thought the turkey pardoning was really funny until I looked it up and realized that it's actually a thing.

That's the whole point of why they are running him. They want an interim congressman on their side that won't run for reelection.

 

[sangreal]

can never have enough Richard

"[the ice bucket challenge] raised a lot of awareness for whatever ALS is"

 

[TTG]

Ok, fuck it, these last two episodes have me back on board. They've been great.

 

[fifasnipe2224]

'You look like a southern housewife who burned her husband's dinner.'

 

[Dan]

As much as I appreciate Clea DuVall getting some more HBO money, I hope that character gets involved in something sooner rather than later.

I thought the turkey pardoning was really funny until I looked it up and realized that it's actually a thing.

The only good thing about turkey pardoning in real life has been the amusing 7 years of Obama embarrassing and torturing his daughters at each event. Their progression from mildly amused to "ugh, this is so uncool" to "I'll talk, I'll talk, just stop with the dad jokes" has been hilarious.

.

She might have been my favorite part the episode. The deadpan way she deals with Selina's complete obliviousness to Secret Service not getting the day off to actually visit family and being stuck with her the whole time.

 

[rtcn63]

Anyone else see

 

[Cornballer]

Heh.

A couple of behind the scenes pics from filming last week's episode:

 

[HMD]

God, I love Julia.

 

[mclem]

Reunited at last.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Nice. Is he still going after his crest!

 

[Dan]

Huh. I never realized Peter MacNicol did the voice there. Nor that he voiced Mad Hatter in the Arkham games.

New episode tonight:

Cuntgate

Spoiler

Selina must make an important decision; Jonah finds himself back in New Hampshire; Amy investigates the staff; Catherine tries to get some time with Selina.

 

[BigAT]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the first time an episode of television has had that title.

 

[Cornballer]

Heh, looks like the programming grids are displaying it as C**tgate.

 

[Fuu]

I let out a hearty chuckle at that title. Seeing it nonchalantly posted in the usual Cornballer new episode format makes it even funnier somehow.

 

[Persona7]

finally caught up.

 

[talisayNon]

omg Jonah chasing that kid.

omg that ad.

[TheDarkKnight774]

Man. Amazing episode. Best of the season by far.

 

[BlueTsunami]

That Jonah political ad is the best. His serious expression makes him look like an ax murderer at the end. Episode was fantastic.

 

[talisayNon]

it's clear that this season has lost the subtle Ianucci touch, but i kind of like where it has gone.

 

[BigAT]

What an absolutely amazing episode.

 

[Chase17]

Fantastic episode.

"I'm getting broll of this fax machine"

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Catherine suddenly dating her moms body double. That was one plot development I didn't see coming and it's amazing.

 

[fallengorn]

Jonah chasing the kid was fantastic.

Also, I guess he's basically going to be a Trump-esque candidate?

 

[BigAT]

 

[Dan]

omg Jonah chasing that kid.

omg that ad.

Fantastic episode.

"I'm getting broll of this fax machine"

Those bits were golden.

ask and you shall receive

Heh, yup, and I am thankful. That development also paid off her relative non-involvement in earlier episodes, so that works nicely.

it's clear that this season has lost the subtle Ianucci touch, but i kind of like where it has gone.

It's more cartoonish, and less biting. If it weren't still reliably funny it would bother me more.

 

[GreyWind]

Golden

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Perfect episode

Love this season

 

[firehawk12]

I wonder if there's supposed to be a joke about how Kathrine is in love with a woman who is supposed to look like her mother (from behind).

Catherine suddenly dating her moms body double. That was one plot development I didn't see coming and it's amazing.

I'm not the only one. lol

 

[GraveRobberX]

Holy Fuck @ the focus group

I couldn't stop laughing
Johan bursts in and does his thing

The "You need to control your FUCKING temper" line slayed me with him chasing people around the room and the handlers following suit

My god this episode was flawless

 

[GreyWind]

Just finished watching and loved it. Amazing season so far : D

[Apple Turnover]

omg Jonah chasing that kid.

omg that ad.

I thought that scene couldn't get any better. And then it went into the focus group. Never been so happy to be wrong in my life

 

[Grinchy]

This show continues to be one of the best comedies on TV.

Jonah looked like a mongoloid Clark Kent with those glasses:

 

[Blastoise]

"I can't stop smiling"

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Everytime Jonah is on screen it's pure gold.

 

[Peru]

Amy is great

 

[dead souls]

That was exceptional.

 

[Empty]

wow this series has lost the plot. it's full cartoon, barely resembling politics anymore.

 

[Tubobutts]

Catherine trying to tell her mom that she was gay was pretty obvious, but her dating the body double was unexpected and great.
