Veep - Noodle Analogy

Kent giving his shit analogy on noodles.

[@a-jjjjjjj]

Ben's rage at Kent timing out the analogy is fucking gold

[@KungFuIsland]

He even timed it perfectly with Jonah's interruption.

[@rishirahul6410]

and interruptions by Ben and amy

[@AfricanHeavyMetalGuy]

That's why he is the genius

[@skyblazeXIII]

He's a numbers guy. He's THE numbers guy.

[@jimmy2k4o]

I’m sure Kent is capable of altering the tempo of his speech as well as adding or omitting certain parts so his microwave and finger snap will always be perfect synchronized.

[@DrZaius3141]

Let's be very clear here: the fact that Jonah even knew he had to go for the pinkish-red spectrum of colours is already much more than anyone would have expected him to.

[@RishiShahSays]

LMAO! Come to think of it I didn't even know what colour is cereise? Shit, he is smarter than me!

[@ShaferHart]

Not only that but he picked several binders just in case 🤣 Cereise sounds similar to the Spanish word _cereza_ (cherry). That's the only reason why I had a clue about the kind of color Kent meant lol.

[@adamlancsak6606]

in the early seasons, he was not 'that' dumb, more like annoying

[@Vagabond-Cosmique]

@@ShaferHart and it sounds even more like the French word for cherry: cerise.

[@dielaughing73]

@Virgo you're a... Binder salesman?

[@skeletorkahn]

Ben's anger at the ding is my favorite part of this scene.

[@alexdrake4409]

Ben Cafferty quickly grew into one of my favorite characters on the show. I envy his giant coffee thermos.

[@swiftslick]

Alex Drake -- Cafferty calling out Kent on his bullshit is the best part of this clip.

[@bigmooseextreme]

Ben says of his giant thermos: "This is the only thing I would save if the building was burning down"

[@virusts]

I love the episode where you can see him pouring multiple bottles of beer in it in the morning.

[@excaliburmason5180]

@@virusts which episode was that?

[@niteshkatwal5428]

I have searched Ben's video, can't find any compilation. Where are the people / creators when we need them?

[@Trig242]

"waiting is not doing nothing" is an amazing phrase and I use it whenever I can.

[@star88wars]

Well you are in fact doing something. Waiting is an action after all. (1 year later response)

[@pschroeter1]

"No, let me rephrase that …"

[@FreezErmac519]

"...why daFFFuq are we talkin about noodles"

[@ethanhorn6093]

Ben V Kent is just about my favorite comedy thing ever. Kent is too good for Ben's insults and Ben is simultaneously smart enough and too stupid to get Kent's well articulated insults/timing. I adore the fuck out these characters.

[@X_nien_vh]

They are actually my fave characters!, they’re hilarious as a duo in the later seasons!

[@prathameshghodake8811]

Let me rephrase that why the fuck are we talking about noodles 😂😂😂😂😂

[@alphabetsoup342]

Hahaha he anticipated Amy interrupting him and Ben interrupting her when he timed it out

[@FadouaO123]

"I must have a very specific form of color blindness" 😂

[@XplicitStory]

thats actually a thing. people have color blindness to certain colors

[@XplicitStory]

TheDarkerKnight red-green, blue-yellow, etc if you want to reply to old comments at least do research so you don’t look so idiotic

[@Isleofskye]

You said " people" Cassie. :) 99.9% of those that ARE coloUr blind are Males. Most people go thru' their entire lives without meeting a female who is coloUr blind like this Englishman and around 10% of other Males. It's nearly always Red/Brown/Green....Good Luck from London...

[@Ancor_Vantian]

@TheDarkerKnight Literally the _first_ link after googling 'Color blindness type': *Red-green* The types of red-green color blindness fall into four different categories. -Protanopia (aka red-blind) - Individuals have no red cones. -Protanomaly (aka red-weak) - Individuals have red cones and can usually see some shades of red. -Deuteranopia (aka green-blind) - Individuals have no green cones. -Deuteranomaly (aka green-weak) - Individuals have green cones and can usually see some shades of green. *Blue-yellow* Tritanopia (aka blue-blind) - Individuals have no blue cones. Tritanomaly (aka blue-weak) - Individuals have blue cones and can usually see some shades of blue. You are on the Internet. There's no excuse for ignorant answers such as yours. Common.

[@otimoluk]

"And here he is - the man who can't take a leak without polling his balls"

[@gloverelaxis]

this show knew that pee was stored in the balls before it got leaked to the public

[@jimmy2k4o]

Which is an irrelevant poll since urination doesn’t concern the balls at all.

[@Mgranadosv]

Kent is just fantastic

[@iratepirate3896]

He's my favourite character. He's distinctly underrated.

[@haydenthemaestro2977]

"Nev-add-ah"

[@Schneefernerkopf]

Gary Cole is a GOD.

[@manifestgtr]

Ummmm, yeahhhh…I’m gonna have to go ahead and kind offff…disagree there….hmmmm, yeah…

[@kennybee63]

“Why are we talking about noodles?” “Let me rephrase that. Why the FUCK are we talking about noodles??” Some of the greatest writing and comedic acting I’ve ever seen.... Veep is a brilliant show...😄❤️

[@Brolly5]

No one: No one ever: Kent: it's nev-add-ah

[@ICavalcadeI]

"Daylight SAVING"

[@kairahaither497]

i just realised when potus became suddenly against the operation is when he came to know about the spy and all Kent was doing was handling it himself so nothing reaches the press. the riskiness in the noodle analysis and precision is the not letting anything go wrong with the spy. once you know that and watch it again, like on a rewatch it all comes back so perfectly. this show is so genius.

[@schematicb5393]

Ben's expression when he finishes the noodles analogy is priceless. He's my second favorite character after Jonah.

[@davidrich27]

"Waiting is not doing nothing..." What I tell myself procrastinating ass when I need to get started on a project due tomorrow. I'm just waiting for that ding to get started.

[@giantsmilk2545]

i have a project due tmr and a worksheet due today so thx sooo much for reminding me lmaooo with that said, i will continue to watch veep clips lol

[@glawrk2861]

Just time your shit project for that ding.

[@unchartedperson]

"i'm sorry sir i must have a very specific form of color blindness" LMFAOOO

[@joannelim7375]

The noodle tit-for-tat between Ken -Ben and Amy was already perfectly meaty enough to be one of the best scenes in Veep, and then Jonah appears, and instead of killing the 1-2 vibe, his cereise color-blindness was just the chef's kiss that turned this into a 1-2-3 scene of pure perfection

[@aaronrodgers8994]

1:53 the look of pure offence and disgust in Ben's eyes is fucking priceless

[@amattchronism]

the delivery on the line "shit analogy" was A+

[@radhika5802]

Jordan Schlansky? Is that you?

[@afrosymphony8207]

+Unequivocally Humoured hahahahahahhaha good one #schlanskyforpresident

[@arujan]

This is one of my most favourite scenes. I come back to this scene every once in a while to have a good laugh.

[@stefn3812]

Can't believe no one's mentioned the "flaccid and damp like... a lady's hair in the rain" analogy, as if he couldn't have gone down the dirty road with it.

[@amicablefire9693]

Kent is gonna need you to come in on Saturday... mmkay?

[@breacat]

This might be the one time Jonah was probably as smart as any of us.

[@bryanATO]

"Cerise colored binder" 🤣🤣 Kent is easily one of my favorite characters. Hes just so fucking random

[@JParks1981]

it took me a long time to recognize the talent of Gary Cole. The first thing I recall seeing him in was The Brady Bunch movie, which was sucha terrible movie in the best possible way, yet Cole himself seemed to add less to the movie than a prop. He just as well could have been the couch, Marcia's football or Jan's fro. Then he became that guy who was in everything, to the point I sighed "him again?" Eventually I finally realized, though he is in everything, everything he's been in has been good, and he certainly made each work better. whether playing a comedic or dramatic role, he nails it every time. Hell, I bet he even could play Negan better (no disrespect to JDM, but he does tend to overly emphasize every line) and even could have made Breaking Bad or Dexter better with his presence on camera

[@princessswift1]

I believe he was also in "As the World Turns," in the 80's!

[@Nebagram]

If you get the chance check out Midnight Caller from the late 80s. Hugely underrated show in which he was the star.

[@basehead617]

JParks1981 a Very Brady Sequel is actually really funny and he is PERFECT in it

[@jimmy2k4o]

If you could go ahead and just appreciate Gary Cole, That would be greaaaaaat. Ah K?

[@ac8911]

He's a great voiceactor in Harvey Birdman - Attorney at Law

[@AndrewCortesi]

The is one of my favorite Kent moments. He provides a good balance alongside the team. Just like how Michael was a necessary character to contradict the craziness of the Bluth family.

[@pschroeter1]

"No, let ME rephrase that ..."

[@benkata]

"that is fucking pathetic" - LoLZ

[@markaliano8563]

That noodle analogy was comedy gold IMO.....😃😄😅😭

[@angelrios5897]

One must simply adore the Pol Pott of Pie Charts.

[@JimzAuto]

Profound :)

[@joannelim7375]

If only we could incorporate cruel tyrants' names when trading insults with our colleagues without getting the HR (and political correct warriors) involved !

[@cycliscs]

Kent is the American version of Stewart Pearson from The Thick of It, who is characteristically philosophical, obsessively detail-oriented, and distinguishably peculiar.

[@criticuttam]

I'd love if he abandoned the team as a party built on solid foundation of cunts, in the end.

[@jimmy2k4o]

I’m an extraordinary precise man mark, that why my wife left me!

[@DrZaius3141]

No. No. No. No. No. Stewart is a vapid bag of steam throwing around buzzwords without any content. Kent firmly believes in direct democracy or rather that a representative democracy is most successfull when following a directly democratic approach. To him the will of the people is put above everything else. He also trusts polls to reflect said will, which is naive and outs him as a bad statistician. If you were to say now that this approach puts him in a generous light, let me remind you that people are ranging from stupid to evil - not applying any moral code to the will of the people (apart from not wanting VP Jonad) is completely amoral.

[@JohnSmith-lt8em]

Dwight Shrute of The Office. Ron of Parks amd Rec.

[@Isleofskye]

You are right. Kent is very precise while Stewart is random and esoteric...

[@isa-df4nj]

i love kent

[@keerthireddy1510]

veep is gold. this particular scene made me laugh like maniac.

[@KennyG881]

It's weird seeing this scene knowing that Ben and Kent are going to work for Jonah.

[@X_nien_vh]

Yeah! Kent and Ben working together as a duo for Jonah was actually really funny. One of my favorite storylines in the later seasons!😂

[@gooliish]

this is still my favorite scene

[@coreybattle5635]

The supporting cast is awesome. Ben is my fave.

[@akenyanwoman]

OH, the noodle analogy! You guys are gonna LOVE THIS! hahahahaha

[@lemonwedge4640]

One of the best scenes of Veep.

[@SuperZwitterion]

Anyone else wondering why Kent is eating noodles at 8:05am?

[@AOK342]

Knowing Kent he probably carries a pack of dried noodles with him everywhere he goes. You know, just in case he needs to make a point.

[@34tegan]

+Matt Moore he doesn't sleep so it doesn't matter

[@antred11]

There isn't a wrong time for noodles.

[@TeamSukiyo]

No

[@joerules829]

Because the interior offices of The White House are like a casino. There’s constant action, no windows, and you have no idea what time it is or how long you’ve been there.

[@Mike-mp6cd]

"Get out of here, Bent."

i cant believe Ben listened to the whole thing.XD

[@ackermanclan1613]

Cerise is french for 'cherry'. So 'cerise' and 'cherry red' are the same colors :)

Kent is right tho, according Thomas R Dye, public policy is “whatever the government choose to do or NOT to do” So waiting and doing nothing is a valid respond by the government
