Your favorite "Veep" episodes

Not to say that other episodes were worse but any episode with Minna Häkinnen was a hoot.

Jonah and the focus group:

One of the things I love about Minna is that she's one of the few characters on VEEP who is both generally nice and competent, although she's almost unbearably frank by American standards (as Eastern Europeans can sometimes be).

Two from season 5-

1.) C**tgate- Politico reports that a senior staffer was heard calling Selina a cunt. Selina orders Amy to investigate, only to find out everyone but Gary called her a cunt in public.

2.) Congressional Ball- Selina tries to curry favor with congress at a White House ball , leading to this memorable exchange.

I also love when Selina destroys Tom James in the final episode.

You beat me to it by five seconds, R4! That scene's venom makes my flesh crawl. I do not know how they filmed it without falling into hysterics.

I love the last episode because of all the little touches: Catherine is almost unbearably happy when watching her mother's funeral on TV with her wife and son ("I made margaritas for everyone!"), and the wall of the Selina Meyer Presidential library has engraved in on its marble walls her quotation, "Someone needs to do something about this!"

None.

A stupid, overrated show.

R8, you're a moron.

Season 6 Finale. I love when they discover her presidential center site may be on slave burial grounds. She tries to swear Marjorie to secrecy but Marje has already left the room, so they race upstairs to try to catch her before she can tell Catherine.

"Slaves, Mother?! No! Way!"

Season 4, episode 9, Hearing. And so many others. What a brilliant and brutally funny show.

“Camp David,” which features Minna Hakkinen.

Fro comedy, any episode featuring the excellent Sally Phillips as Minnah. She really is amazing, both convincing and comedic.

And for entirely different reasons, any episode featuring many, many scenes with Reid Scott, with whom I would be married, given different circumstances and possibly a magic lamp.

I love "Mew Hampshire," when Selina is called away from meeting with a Syrian refugee couple in New Hampshire who have been through terrible personal hardships to be told the president is resigning and she is about to be made the next president, her lifelong dream. Before she has been taken away, she has had yet another scandal blow up in her face and is sure she is going to lose the presidential primary, and so when she meets with the Syrian couple, she impresses them mightily with her apparent empathy (although she's really just feeling sorry for herself). After Kent tells her the news and she whoops it up in private with Gary, she comes back to the Styrian couple and is almost blithely dismissive of their sufferings because she's anxious to get back to DC to be sworn in as president. It really shows the incredible selfishness of Selina Meyer and JLD's extraordinary range, even though she's playing such a horribly fake person.

"Meating Meyer"

R5’s video has one of the great phrases: gash of least resistance.

Selina Meyer - "What is Qatari for 'morning-after pill'? It's probably a stoning...which would also do the trick."

Honestly – all of them. It is the most brilliant show. So mean and so funny.

Sally Phillips must taking advantage of a 3 Day Free AI Publicist trial offer.

7th season. Episode takes a stab at a Thiel-like character

Selina: "Good Lord! What's up with Frigid Von Pole-Up-Her-Ass?!"

Thom James: "That is my deputy chief of staff, Michelle York. She's basically my 'Amy.'"

Selina: "Well my 'Amy' has bulimia."

Thom James "Yeah...no one likes a braggart, Selina."
