The Newsroom Funny

[@liftfork]

I like when they're on the plane and the guy next to Sloan asks "Why did you set the Secretary of the Treasury on fire?" and Sloan responds "Just to show the other cabinet secretaries I could."

[@momogoes3329]

I wish we could have seen it. I love the awkwardness that is Sloan.

[@MrFunguspower]

"Boy that Ghengis Khan had some pretty good ideas" always cracks me up.

[@jonblackk]

I never got that joke. Could you shed some light on it?

[@michaelsullivan5880]

@@jonblackk They were talking about ways to get kicked off the plane, and one was loudly yelling unpopular political views. And that's the view that Eliot Hirsch ended up on.

[@jonblackk]

@michaelsullivan5880 that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clearing it up.

[@magzab]

They forgot Don falling backwards in his chair not once but twice. I love this show!

[@Rosario_Verano]

When he started falling for the 2nd time and yelled ''Goddammit'' at the same time I lost my shit !!!

[@TheDoctor2nd]

“It’s the new tires…”

[@hotrod926]

"Lester I'm gonna lose my shit on you" was my favorite line in all of television.

[@douglasrau5094]

I love how Will doesn’t even react when Mac pulls the pillow out from behind his head. He’s just like, “He said something stupid. She’s going to hit him.”

[@litletortilaboy]

" i'm a marine don, ille beat the shit out of you. I dont care how many protein bars you eat" he's a fucking legend!

[@Thiccarus]

Sam Waterston is epic.

[@litletortilaboy]

Icarus Yeah, RIP. :p

[@redknight85]

+Johnny 2face RIP? He isn't dead.

[@litletortilaboy]

***** In the newsroom he died.

[@redknight85]

Johnny 2face My bad, I haven't seen the series. i just discovered these clips a day ago.

[@themripley]

"That was really embarassing for me and it came right after I accidentally set him on fire". Oh, Sloan.

[@barbaramontani2856]

Mac is my single favourite character on a TV show ever. "I think the power going out is what's going to save this - SON OF A BITCH!" That scene has me in tears of laughter every time.

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

Sloan's awkwardness in social situations is hilarious to watch

[@MrManlify]

I remember when i first saw the "He struggles with things" line, i laughed so hard!

[@marine463]

+Aamir Quraishy I'm dead^^

[@potterpotty01]

i'm still laughing now!

[@Karma-qt4ji]

@@potterpotty01 Yup me to. "Can somebody help Will put his pants on...." XD

[@Dynasty1818]

"No no....go back to Japanese...." I love how Don flaps his hands with panic.

[@Carlalvaro]

"Sup?" That word from Don is the singular best one-word line that was delivered in this series.

[@holgerhbaer]

"Could someone please help Will put his pants on?" No way you can't love this show.

[@Teri0is0Resa]

I think one of my favorite moments ever is after Sloan messes up the Japanese Nuclear crisis interview and she walks out and Don is just patiently waiting for Charlie to come out screaming."Just hang on for another five seconds and know that we've all been there at one time or another." "What happens in five seconds-" "What in the name of holy fuck were you thinking about?!"

[@jims4826]

"I missed part of the interview after it turned into a kurosawa movie" may be the hardest I've laughed at and HBO series

[@MaSeshield]

@@jims4826 "I don't give a shit, madame butterfly" is what got me in that scene

[@billloman3151]

My favorite part was in the same episode: "The Japanese say the radiation is going to level 7." "I'd take their word for it, the Japanese have some experience with radiation." "Do you think that's something I should..." "That is NOT something you should mention on the air!"

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

Also, the way Don goes from screaming to: "S'up?" 😂

[@loganbradford4148]

I love their retraction. Sloan's all "they fool-proofed the language for this EXACT reason," and they're all "you're not fluent in Japanese," and she's all "BUT I AM."

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

One of my favorite lines is at the hospital when Mackenzie is getting on Will about his health and he says “can i have the mean nurse back” had me rolling 😂

[@TheSSMusicChannel]

the further you go through this collection you see how fucking awesome this series was, I wish they would do something with it today and bring them back,

[@evrataylor2050]

And it's back in reruns!

[@marielaberge8236]

Charlie going off on Don in 1x01 really set the tone for this show's specific brand of over-the-top absurd humor

[@paulstrecher6194]

"I'm a marine, & I will beat the sheet out of you!"

[@LeLaidbackLauncher]

What about "Youre Expanding." "CMON I GAINED FOUR FREAKIN POUNDS!" "No professor..."

[@shellinoftroy]

Love this. Seriously, this is a really nice compilation of some of the funniest moments! Will high and about to go on the air with the Bin Laden coverage is my favorite. Mackenzie's "Joe Biden!" and Charlie's "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!" is the best thing ever.

[@sabbagels]

I wish "Hey, we got Obama" was in here

[@libbyworkman3459]

“When did you turn into Ted Baxter?” Is another very good one.

[@iandhr1]

GET ON THE AIR

[@jhyland87]

"Yes you are my fourth and only choice" lol

[@lpr5269]

3:13 Don doesn't understand how doors work. I love that scene because it's almost like Aaron Sorkin is making fun of how on every other TV series it's so easy for people to bust through doors.

[@zwieback57]

"It seems like you're in pain..." "He is." "He said IN pain, not A pain !" "Oh ! Nevermind...."

[@barbaramontani2856]

I wish you'd put the 'Fox hired someone with three Mohammeds in their name?' scene from 1x02.

[@majorevangelism]

Funny enough that name was also mentioned in S4 of The West Wing.

[@tiadaid]

@@majorevangelism Of course, it's an Aaron Sorkin trait. Search KZbin for "Sorkinisms" and you'll see the same thing repeated through several TV shows & movies all written by Sorkin.

[@TheDoctor2nd]

They probably thought it was like hiring 3 Mohammeds at once.

[@Emerahl89]

this video doesnt set the line up well, but 5:52 "BOY THAT GENGHIS KHAN HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD IDEAS" is one of the funniest lines of dialogue ever uttered on TV.

[@woodboard532]

Someone please explain it to me

[@chrischia565]

wolf cub they were going through ways to get kicked out of the plane because Don was eager to get back to the Newsroom to report the story, and one of the ways listed online is to come up with some provocative controversial statements(probably ones that would discomfort others). So that’s why Elliot said the Genghis Khan line, in the hopes that they could get kicked out of the plane after Don repeatedly got in trouble with the air stewardess

[@knightenchanter7908]

It is. That line has me laughing everytime.

[@kar2ouche]

I love this show and this collection of the "funny bits" is brilliant! Thank you.

[@beingbeckeroni]

I love that not once, but TWICE Maggie hit Jim with a glass door.

[@xxyzl]

The second time it kinda looked like he ran into it, but both incidents were hilarious for sure

[@kristinmoran7075]

"Go back to Japanese!" *sigh* I did not like Don... until this episode, this scene... and then watching his reactions, I totally fell in love with him. This is the Newsroom equivalent of West Wing's "Celestial Navigation" episode, 'A secwet pwan To fight infwation!"

Great show, one of the best and thanks for this but you missed out quite a few Maggie moments, she had some great scenes with her blunders.

[@marwouchyildiz]

what makes this show a success? each character is unique !!! the directors did not focus only on the main characters .. even the tailor is sarcastic in his own way! and also so many reactions are unpredictable .. Charlie when he shouts at Don, McKenzie when she beats McAvoy, Sloan, Jim, .. Great Job !!!

That's sorkin's universe though. Everyone is quippy and witty!

[@darklorddysart]

Still one of the best shows ever made

[@TheBcambron]

OMG why could I not have followed this all along!!!

[@kentgrady9226]

The actual show was cancelled for all the reasons the fictional show depicted. To recap: it was a fictional news show (literally, the only time the term "fake news" truly applies) doing actual news better than the real news... and the multi media owners of the fake news show, who also own real news outlets, pulled the plug because their own show made them look bad. That is so circularly, tragically ironic, that it came all the way back to being funny.

[@Maya-bu2rf]

Actually because Sorkin got fed up with HBO bs

[@stevemartin9740]

The jersey scene isn't the scene where most people cry. The scene where he finally plays and sacks the Georgia Tech QB is the most emotional scene. With 80,000 screaming fans, his dad celebrating in the stands, his best friend yelling "who's the wildman now." That's the scene that makes people tear up

[@tsbscotland]

One of the best shows ever. It would have lasted longer if it hadn't hit so close to home politically.
