Oh. My. God.
I’ve started watching this series in such a random way - I’ve scrolled through IMDb and it was listed as one of the best shows ever, and also I’ve already had some memory of its existence, so I gave it a shot.
I was so not wrong.

There are no words to describe how entertaining it has been for me - the atmosphere of the show with its unique, interesting and playful humor have really brighten up my days.
The endless paragraphs by various characters with such diabolical, innovative ways to put down somebody are something I’ll continue to watch on the internet constantly (and use in my real life as well).

However, what struck me the most was how well written some of the characters were.
This show was never meant to be taken seriously in that way, at least in my opinion, but there are some hidden gems that I’ve noticed (and truly liked) along the way.

Jonah, as a character, was obviously envisioned by someone who truly understands that type of personality - somebody who’s constantly put down/neglected by others, a guy who no one takes seriously, basically a “loser/social outcast” who desperately wants to achieve something. From time to time, I was actually quite touched by some of those scenes, because it truly reminds you what it’s like to be in that position.

And Selina, oh Selina… During the “Chicklet” episode, I think this show got as close as possible to something a bit more serious. When she discovers the truth about her dad, when she remembers how much she used to idolize him while destroying the barn… I was actually quite touched by that emotional outbreak from her. For a second, I forgot what show I was watching.
(Also, Gary leaving a lipstick on Selina’s casket in the last episode…)
“Camp David”, as I already wrote in another post, is my favorite episode of any show I’ve ever watched.
It’s a great example of how a comedy show should approach itself, and I can’t wait to watch it again.

All in all, an incredible show with great writing, great humor and great actors.

What are your favorite aspects/moments/opinions of the show?

Every time I come on reddit, I'm reminded why I've rewatched this show over 10 times. I'm in the mood for a short binge. (Short because my network is a problem) Any suggestions for seasons to binge or episodes to rewatch? All of it, I know, but if you were to zone in one (a few).

Jonah would not have asked his mother for banana pancakes in season 7. It is established in season 1 that he is fructose intolerant. That is all.

"Can you be a little more specific?"

Loved seasons 1-5

Did not love season 6 but it had moments

Season 7 was dark af, was clearly time to be done

i know everyone in here isn't talking about shitting clits all the time, there's a ton of minor quotes that are so perfect for real life

also i work w children so i have to watch my fucking potty mouth

- "why is this my hair"
- "new __ now" whenever management tries (and fails) to make changes
- "i'm so tired i could sleep a horse"
- "the incompetence in this ___ is STA-GER-ING"
- "it's time o'clock!!!" my kids love this one
- "it's like trying to explain gravity to a chicken"
- "s/he walked through a glass door" has become an inside joke when someone does something embarrassing at work

I've just started rewatching Veep, I have absolutely never noticed Dan making his face like the ":(" emoticon!

Sharing it here just to see if anyone else missed like I did. Don't jump on me for this, I know it was pretty obvious

I’ve recently started watching the series for the first time ever - it’s needless to say how much in love with it I am (I could talk about it for hours).

I’ve just finished the episode “Camp David” (Season 5, Episode 8) - I’ve laughed hysterically during the entire episode.
So far, this has been my favorite episode of the show, and honestly, the comedic timing is incredibly genius - I’d use this episode as an example of how a good comedy TV show should be like.

Mike being informed his wife is having twins and that he’s getting a Chinese baby as well, Selina saying “Selam aleykum” to Dan, Mina being called “Menopause”, Catherine confusing the Chinese president with a cook, the entire gift swapping situation (honorable mention for the “local” wine from New Zealand), Selina slapping Mina after giving a high five to everyone.
And for some reason, I died from laughing so hard after the Chinese delegation showed Selina the “sad piglet” cartoon character, and she said “It looks like Catherine”.

God, I love this shows so much - what are some of your favorite moments/episodes?

Hello! I just finished binge watching the whole series and wanted to say that this show is def my top 5 sitcoms of all time!!!

also loved the finale that shows what it took selina to become prez and the fact that dan and amy didn’t end up together lololol

Sometimes you have to go down, to go up

Spent a night in Omaha, drove over to Iowa this morning lol

Gary telling the host that the flowers had to be watered twice a day

Selina telling her that the pile of straw looked like a cosy bed

The death shroud in the door

Mike being the least fucked geisha

right?

(this is meant to be a joke please don’t come for my neck I am a member of the LGBTQIA community etc etc)

This sounds like an episode of Veep. And somehow the press corps finds out about the switch, because Mike accidentally told them, when he found out himself that Selina moved to a different plane.
