Ray was amazing, that jump kick after Catherine punched that dude was awesome.

"In your country, people fuck snow"

WTF lmao

There really isn't anything else to say other than that HBO has the funniest 1.5 hours I've seen in ages.

Silicon Valley is probably HBO's least humorous half hour ever, but I agree that they have a pretty strong hour of comedy on Sunday nights.

 

[hateradio]

Man Meloni through this show and SJ has shown that he is a great comedic actor. I hope we see more of him in this role.

SJ?

:?

 

[Dan]

SJ?

Surviving Jack, his Fox sitcom that had a brief life over the last few weeks.

:?

Evidence that Meloni long ago proved he was funny. See: Wet Hot American Summer

 

[Fuu]

Another great episode, this show is still on such a good streak. The scripts and line deliveries are top notch.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I really liked Chris Meloni's character - I hope we a lot more of him in the coming weeks.

 

[Juz]

"That Finnish fart!" :lol

Sue and Kent are great together.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

A few months old but I'm watching Matt Walsh aka Mike get really high with Doug Benson and its pretty damn funny.

I'll add quick programming note that the episode runs an extra 5 minutes tonight (actual runtime listed at 33 minutes). Just an FYI for people's schedules, DVR schedules, etc

Long episode!

Ah, good looking out. Have they ever run long before? I can't remember Veep doing it.

Not that I can recall.

 

[Defunkled]

I love Dan's slow descent into madness as Selina's campaign manager.

 

[Maddocks]

That ending line killed me. Go at Dianna speed, but safer.

 

[talisayNon]

damn ice cold amy.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

"That 65 year old fucking intern" is maybe my favorite joke ever.

 

[BigAT]

"I can't believe Ray tried to edit my speech. I feel like Shakespeare when that monkey tried to make fun of him."

 

[TTG]

I thought Jonah was somehow going to blunder into exposing Amy there, but I guess that's one for another day. Great episode, I don't know why I was laughing for like a minute straight at that stupid hat.

 

[Rhaknar]

Why have I never heard of this? The cast in the OP looks amazing

 

[RatskyWatsky]

"The emu has landed"

lol

 

[crimzonflame]

Why does the POTUS' Chief of Staff hang around the Veep's staff all the time?

Awesome episode btw.

 

[Dany]

"I need to be driven to the hospital at Diana-speed..only but safer".

Fucking christ, that line is vicious.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Jonah during the credits killed me.

 

[Mr. F]

Everyone got completely shit on this episode. It was amazing. I love how defeated Selina sounded as the ep went on; the realization why Ray was hired especially got me.

"...Dan pimped me out?"

 

[KiN0]

Amy shocked me this episode. The way she got both Dan and Ray fired was so underhanded.

 

[Clevinger]

So much good stuff in this ep. Thick of It cameo, everything with Amy, Dan's breakdown. Selina interrupting Gary just because she could and he asked her not to.

 

[Jigorath]

Poor Dan. That scene with Jonah in the end credits was hysterical though.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

That fucking hat.

:lol

 

[Sai-kun]

Ben is just the best.

 

[Santiako]

DANIWAH!

 

[KiN0]

So, is Dan fired or did he just lose his position as campaign manager?

 

[Cohsae]

Bental illness! Benola gay!
Also they can feel free to show the Baroness again any time they like. Mmhmm.

 

[i_am_ben]

Have they ever shown Selina as being somewhere near competent?

The last time I recall was the speech at the funeral.


I need a bit of high with the lows.

 

[Empty]

big ben swain as a slovenly tabloid hack was fun

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Damn does Jonah suck.

 

[Blastoise]

Damn she is sooo fine!

EDIT: Holy shit the last scene when Jonah is reading Dan's "symptoms" had me nearly on the ground. I love this show.

 

[Vert boil]

Amy: Getting angry at Dan, Smugly accepting Selina's offer, Celebrating, Punching air then walking away

Dan: Dejected in 'ospical bed, Am I hallucinating? Can I please get some better drugs

Jonah: That was me

Keller: Double teaming push ups and reading, Thank you

Mike: Shock at being put in charge, I know right

Selina: Reaction to Mike talking about all in happenings, Fuck (with Mike I know right), No they don't, Eye twitch

that scene was so good my eyes were watering from laughing

Good point, but that's not really in her character. Not that she's completely devoid of positive qualities, she just doesn't embody any of those classic traits of a great politician. Whatever stuff they had her doing that qualified for "real" work(lock down negotiations?) is gone. She's got the superficial charm down anyway.

I don't think the point is she's not a good politician - I think the point is she's an average politician with ambitions and goals she'll never reach, ideals she'll have to compromise every day and a workday spent doing everything but thinking up good policies - again, the average politician's life.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Awesome episode. Funniest of the season. The hat, Jonah at the end, Ray. Good stuff

[dead souls]

Jonah during the credits killed me.

Indeed. That was a standout part of this great episode.

 

[Grizzo]

Fantastic episode. I was laughing all the way through. Also, there was so many giffable moments:

"Daniwah!"

"- Mike, you're in charge"
- Oh my god Mike... oh my god"

"- I don't know what that translates to in terms pounds or stones
- That's a lot
- Or is it? That's a lot... okay. "

The awkward silence after Selina and Gary's talk in the car.
