Mines gotta be “Congressman Pearce was not disposed of in a way that is indicative of a meeting”

“She is absent.” is good too

I am on rewatch 318403141 on the Georgia episode and Ben Cafferty had both the corrupt leader who is in power and the opposition leader as former clients, which got me thinking "DAMN I would love to read the Ben autobiography...hear about his clients and all the debauchery he was involved in." I would also be so interested to read Sue's..."The Eagle" said he used to work with her...We could finally learn how long she has been in DC!

Which characters autobiography would you most want to read and why?

Bonus points for throwing out potential titles!

Imagine when I open a random email today from little old Hilton Head Distillery, only to see the subject say: Cocktail of the Week: Leviathan. Of course I immediately thought of Gary and thought it would be okay to share here since they sent it out to their entire contact list. :) I'm sure Gary could fit all those ingredients in his bag and Dan would have all kind of comments about this particular drink, to which Jonah would reply, this cocktail gets Eights! But really....seeing the email subject line just made me miss VEEP and how most people I know wouldn't get why I smiled.

I'll give you mine: ben cafferty - the man who ran the world (ben is truman in the truman show), andrew meyer - intelligence operative (but alludes to timelordliness, but grounded like the BBC Sherlock), catherine meyer - black mirror S11E4, Splett 1

Edit:
24. Kent, per Sue
25. Sue, per Kent

OMG. Just finished the entire series and I know that Selena will be using Gary to survive the issue with his ex husband but seeing that she has done it and the reaction on Gary's face afterwards hits differently!!! I never liked Gary because i think of him as a puppy but yeah that was something! The show was well written and I truly enjoyed it. (Only joined this sub after done watching it and did not google anything to experience 1st time reaction on the episodes)

Only watched it since I'm obsessed with Hugh Laurie (House MD).

Any series you can recommend that is close to VEEP? I've watched House of Cards, and Scandal and VEEP is top tier in writing and acting (prolly because i prefer not seeing people getting killed)

I’ll start: Buddy Calhoun

Looking for any good articles or analysis on Veep's place in the culture.

Was struck by how much Succession owes Veep, and happy to learn Jesse Armstrong was indeed a writer for veep.

Kind of disappointed with what they did to Amy's character. I think I wanted a little more nuance to her selling out, which I guess we get when she tries to stop Jonah from being on the ticket but that was even a red line for the machine that is Kent. Hate how she ended up marrying that dude at the end.

Either way, this is a top-tier show. Glad it exists.

She’s 100% New Mexican

I have been watching the show for a while but I can not remember or find the episode here Richard got elected? what episode or spin off is this!?. I MUST KNOW

Wouldn't it be funny if it was Doyle again?

You've just broken North Carolina's bathroom law, Ma'am.

Just started a rewatch on Max and there are several deleted scenes that are censored. I cannot tell from the context what word is being censored. Anyone know?

I went to Run the Jewels in Los Angels sometime before 2018. Phenomonal show, amazing guests on stage, great crowd, AND i got to witness Timothy & Sam bro-ing out & being goofy hip hop nerds. I don’t ask people for photos or interrupt their goings on as a general rule, so i have no proof, but i don’t need it. It filled my heart to the brim with PMA that i got to see that.

I’m not big on bragging or talking celebrity sightings but this one is special. I hope they know how much they are appreciated. I hope the entire cast & crew know how special this show is to me. How healing it is to laugh at the insanity of the politics of the country i live in & voluntarily served.

Enough sincere-posting.

DANIWAH!

In a crew of horrible people, he just has this honesty and almost child like optimism through everything. Then he just rises to the top of American politics in rapid succession, seemingly out of nowhere.

Splettnet.net

S4E10 Election Night the polls severely lost selina (i believe 60-170 against O'brien) and although it was yet to conclude it was somewhat clear which way it was going. Amy, having left the Selina team and now on a talkshow with Dan, suddenly feels she belongs right next to Selina for the final moments of Selina's campaign. my apologies if it's a dumb question but why did she go back? i'm sorry, was it last-minute loyalty or did she feel bad or really why did she go back? and when she came back it was mutually understood that she was there for Selina and Selina just naturally gave orders for what she needed and without question, Amy accedes. someone explain..... why?

Everyone has probaly already noticed this but season 2 episode 9 "running" selina wears the number two, the number 1 is no where to be seen

Obvs she was never innocent. But there was an innocence about her that existed and then disappeared. What was the catalyst/event that changed her?

With shows like this, i like to go through certain episodes frame by frame to find details most would miss. I’ve compiled a list of all the interesting stuff i found in Catherine’s doc!

Ben ruins Kent’s bookshelf

• During Kissing Your Sister, Kent is shown using a ruler to push his books on his shelf into place so they’re evenly sticking out on the shelf. At the very end of the doc, Ben is shown pushing Kent’s books out of place

Selina’s Grandma was VEEP

• In Catherine Eatons obituary, it states her mother was vice president of the Connecticut Junior League

Catherine’s Funeral

• In the background at Catherine Eatons funeral, Andrew Meyer is giving “Uncle” George his business card.

Jonah chopping wood

• Jonah spent an entire hour chopping wood

Richards opera

• Many know Danny Chung is seen as an ensemble member in Richards opera, but on the other side of Richard is Clarence Clark, a presidential candidate and member of the Jefferson’s.

Characters notable decor and collections in their homes:

• Mike has a bottle cap collection

• Amy has a magazine on her coffee table, with Selina on the cover. Perhaps the “goofy smile” magazine.

• Ben of course has a table behind him covered in “Precious Moments Figurines”

• When Selina was veep, she had a red telephone on her table behind her as a decoration. When Doyle becomes Veep, the normal phone on the desk is removed and replaced by the red telephone.

This detail is copy-pasted from my previous details post. I figured i’d put this here incase anyone missed my other post!

• Catherine made Laura Montez president

In the episode “Kissing Your Sister”, Vice President Andrew Doyle is very excited for Selina to be elected, as he believes he’ll be appointed Secretary of State. Catherine mentions Secretary of State will be going to congressman Graves, which leads Doyle to “mastermind the whole thing” and give Laura Montez the presidency. He’s then appointed as her Secretary of State.

How do you guys feel about my tier list of characters? I'm obsessed with this show to the point where it's unhealthy and I've rewatched it so many times I jump between seasons now. Can't wait to forget about it for a year and then come back again for fun ;) it's so hilarious and well written lmfao. Looking back at it now I would lowkey move Jonah and Minna up one tier. The only one I find truly unfunny and like they don't add much is Teddy, but that's mainly bc of the character and writing not the actor's fault.
