Veep (Season 6)

[Ant Farm Keyboard]

I found it amusing that the horrible disfigurement he was supposed to have suffered turned out to be just Fry's normal face with a bit of purple makeup on it.

If anybody thinks it was cartoonish, let me remind you that it was actually taken from the news.

Horses fuck horses.

I don't think it's fair to compare VEEP to the greatest ever British sitcom.

You plonker.

Will Jonah become Prez in the final episode, mirroring somewhat the Trump victory?

[phantom_power]

I think we can all agree that Richard is awesome. The way Jonah tries to insult him and it just washes off is great, as is him coming to Jonah's rescue at the end. I think we all need to be more like Richard

I kinda thought their Trump commentary was encapsulated in Baseball Guy from whichever previous season he was in.

They really were bordering on making Selena thoroughly dislikeable in that last episode. I know she's always been self absorbed but jeez, would she really give her ill personal assistant a rotten sarnie?

No Sue I notice[nb]maybe she read the scripts[/nb] and is it me or has Catherine got a bit .. erm.. hotter this season.

Fuller hair, lip gloss, hint of mascara.

[Straight Faced Customer]

Obvious I know, but this Justice ep seems like someone had a quiet word the the writing team that something was astray. I mean, they've already ditched that absolutely ridiculous subplot of Dan as a sperm donor, and it only took one scene.

(Really, was that the best they could come up with to tie this new 'TV host version' of Dan back into the Meyer fold? It's like Jason Bateman asking Tobias to be his best man or something on Arrested).

Where is Sue? Apparently she took time off for personal reasons. There was also a recent picture of her that made me assume some things. But I hope she comes back as she was one of the better characters.

[Repeater]

What did you assume? Pregnant?

[up_the_hampipe]

What did you assume? Pregnant?

Nah, not that. Decide for yourself:

[Repeater]

Oh my god, hope she's ok :((((

[Mr Faineant]

Did you decide that she was busy being a black Kellyanne Conway?

[phantom_power]

I think contrary to what a few people have stated above, these writers have a really good grasp of the characters and how they would react in a given circumstance. Jonah's outburst revealing the hardships he has faced was spot-on. It does seem they are deliberately making Selina less likeable as well.

Richard Splett remains the highlight for me though. His chirpy obliviousness will never get old.

[Neomod]

Shame there was no reference to Uncle George's trivial pursuit playing ill son.

[Straight Faced Customer]

Cracking ep this week. The post-orgasm phonecall between Jonad and Splett was - and I have never used this word before - absolutely adorable.

[phantom_power]

It was the most adorable post-sex, post-wank bragging scene EVER!

[Dr Rock]

Shit, do I have to start watching this again? The drop off on the first episode was so huge I gave up. Is it really worth my precious time?

[Mobius]

I've been rewatching older eps along with the new ones and I don't think they're any less funny. The first episode wasn't the greatest but it's been just as good as ever I reckon.

Richard Splett remains the highlight for me though. His chirpy obliviousness will never get old.

This got wiped post-hack but I posted about the "No this is Richard Splett?" phone call cracking me up alone in my house. I'm still thinking back to it. Great bit.

Agreed. Probably my favourite single moment of the season so far.

[phantom_power]

His masturbation confusion is great as well. "How will I know when I'm done?", and that it is the devil's work, like microwaves and laughter

[Repeater]

i mean, it's the same character as the guy from 30 rock, so...

[phantom_power]

Which character from 30 Rock? Kenneth? Nowhere near

[BritishHobo]

I'm gonna have to catch up with this, aren't I? Bums. I really didn't get on with the first two episodes but if any show's earned the benefit of the doubt, it's this.

[Repeater]

That scene could've been Kennyboy, don't delude yersel.

[phantom_power]

Nah. They share similar traits but Richard is much more innocent and Kenneth more creepy

[Repeater]

no really

[zomgmouse]

Pretty solid episode this (last) week I thought. Also there's a one-week break which I only realised after madly trying to find the latest episode and then figuring out there isn't one.

[Dr Rock]

I've started watching again. The first episode seemed really off, but it's getting better as it goes along.
