The funniest show on TV is back Sunday, April 24th on HBO!  TRAILER Mandatory Wikipedia Blurb posted:Veep is an American television series, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, set in the office of Selina Meyer, a fictional Vice President, and subsequent President, of the United States. The series was created by Armando Iannucci, who created the British political comedy series The Thick of It, and also wrote and directed that series' film spin-off In the Loop (2009), all of which feature the same writing staff. The fourth season ended with Selina Meyer as standing president caught in an unprecedented tied election for the presidency with Republican candidate O'Brien. The fifth season will mostly focus on the subsequent voting and may see Meyer's current Vice President and super-popular man-of-the-people Tom James (Hugh Laurie) becoming president instead. Former showrunner/producer Armando Iannucci (The Day Today/I'm Alan Partridge/The Thick of It/In The Loop) stepped down at the end of the fourth season and was replaced by David Mandel (Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm).

Veep is as commanding as ever in its excellent fifth seasonquote:The changing of the guard leaves Veep in a precarious position, perhaps for the first time in its history, because the “showrunner leaves and show goes to poo poo” narrative has become so deeply ingrained in the public’s understanding of how television storytelling works. And given Iannucci’s singular, outsider voice and the crystalline vision for his funhouse-mirror reflection of American politics, he seems like an especially tough act to follow. But the fifth season of Veep doesn’t just win the expectations game, it just wins. The rapid-fire, acid-tongued dialogue hasn’t changed, nor has the almost unfathomable ratio of zingers per minute. With a cast this talented—Julia Louis-Dreyfus remains at the height of her talents—the only thing that could go wrong is the writing, but it’s as assured and hilarious as ever. I'm loving ready for this

I went through the previous seasons in preparation and the second season episode "Running" is a complete masterpiece. Selina walks through a glass door and subsequently gets high on an unfortunate mix of anti-depressants and painkillers and that whole part of the show is the funniest thing ever. JLD nails it.

I forgot Laurie's still in this season, such a great addition to what was already my favorite cast in comedy.

It's weird that some great shows like Silicon Valley and Americans get like a dozen comments each. Doesn't really matter as long as they don't get cancelled. This episode looks strong, too bad I'all only get to watch it tonight.

That's one of my favorite episodes of the show. It sets up a great situation and has a ton of amazing lines that I don't think has been matched so far. Like the "white detective investigating a murder of a black man" one which iirc is also from this episode. precision posted:I mean, you'd almost have to be at this point. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Apr 25, 2016 |

Great start to the show, bunch of laughs in there. Selina eyeing up the "lookalike" in disbelief was a good gag. Also I agree that Richard is a gem of a character.

edit: ^^ I wasn't correcting you, I just posted at the same time But anyway yeah one of my favorite jokes is Selina just constantly making GBS threads on her normal/loser daughter. I can almost foresee her documentary story ending with her showing it to Selina/staff and it's super good and they're just like What the hell, you can't use that, and they destroy it right in front of her.

I mean, two of the first three shots (the one after the TV speech and the one of Ben & Bill in the hallway pictured above) are of stuff even Catherine probably knows Selina will never, ever let her use. I doubt she'll show it to anyone before it hits the internet. Then again, Selina thinks Caherine will forget about it in a few weeks, so it's entirely possible Selina forgets about the whole thing after they kick her out of the room. Whatever it is, the payoff is gonna be glorious. Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Apr 25, 2016 |

I was a bit worried how this would go without Armando Iannucci as he is a genius but holy poo poo was that fantastic, I cant wait to see how insane Jonad is going to be driven by his lot.

Air is lava! posted:"Does your hair have to be that?" Somehow this is looking like my favorite subplot this year. "My thesis advisor and I couldn't agree on a thesis because I had that thing last semester where I was tired all the time -" "Catherine, enough with the whining, you'll shatter the bulletproof glass in here". Best line was "Fortune cookie says you gently caress up big time, round eye!" Also even though Ianucci has left the show "Every difficult conversation begins with a...sentence" was very much in the spirit (that and the brilliant swearing as usual) One of the later episodes is titled C**tgate (just put it in spoiler tags because it might be funnier if you don't see it coming) which I can't wait for. grading essays nude fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Apr 26, 2016 |

There is a 100% chance that Catherine's footage is going to be a big factor in the season's final episodes.
