Re: Veep -- "Alicia" -- 4/20/14
I'm amazed this show still seems to be finding its peak. This was a great episode, I liked they're bringing in new characters. The scene between Selina and her daughter was fantastic.
It's funny that Elaine was my least favorite part of Seinfeld and now I hope Dryfess laughs at what bums Kramer and Jason Alexander turned out to be.

This show is fucking hilarious. The insults fly fast and furious and they cuss with so much creativity.
Liked the references to SNL - JLD's old stomping grounds.

Yeah, being an SNL alum, JLD cussing out SNL and the sad comedians that are on it was hilarious.
What's funny about firing Johna is if they hadn't fired him, he's be stuck in the White House and wouldn't be on the campaign trail with them.

So many hilarious moments with her announcement speech. Might be just me, but this show is noticeably funnier than the first season. I didn't particularly care for it when it premiered, but it slowly grew on me.

The first season is good, but no where near as engaging or funny as two or three (so far).

Another hilarious episode from what is turning into my favorite show on television (not just comedy).
You fucked me - with your face.

No ma'am, don't sign there. That's Ron Jeremy.
Why? He's great. He was Scar in the Lion King.
No. That's Jeremy Irons. Ron Jeremy is the porn legend.

Hilarious as usual.
Selina: "I gotta go to the bathroom. They have a bathroom here or do they put their turds up in the cloud?"

Excellent episode. Definitely my favorite comedy on television. The show just keeps getting better.
Okay, I need to be driven to the airport at "Diana" speed, okay? Just more carefully, though, please.
Really liked how Amy got the campaign manager job. Using Jonah to her advantage. And Jonah listing Dan's symptoms at the end.

Great episode. Wonder if they actually filmed it in the UK.
Amy stealing the campaign manager job away from Dan was awesome.
Loved Selina's line about the "Diana speed"
at Jonah reading the chart at the end. Normally I can't stand Jonah, but he was really funny here.

Gary: What do you think of the new cut? Do you like it?
Mike: of course I don't like it, it's the worst use of scissors since my failed vasectomy.
Mike: she looks like KD Lang, think of all the lesbian jokes we're going to have to suffer.
at that annoying twitch in Selina's eye.
She looks like Peter Falk..
Hilarious episode. I lost it when Selina fucked up the three Rs speech.
