Veep: The Jonad Files - S04E09

All of the office's names for Jonah in one place! Hilarious.

[@Admiral_John]

I don't know why but "The Cloud Botherer" always gets me giggling.

[@funkk]

my fav!

[@davethehostage]

It's the best one. The imagery is just too perfect.

[@eightysev]

Me too. It's so simple but it's the one that always gets me!

[@damnthisuser]

Me too

[@emilcaillaux]

yeah, that's where I lose it

[@jimmy2k4o]

The way Dan smirked at “Benedict cuminhisownhand” makes me think that was one of his.

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

you know it's not real, right?

[@LifeOfRy]

@@dynamicvoltage9765looks like someone missed the point.

[@webkid4567]

​@@dynamicvoltage9765 "Wait. WHAT?! These people aren't real?? I seriously thought this show was a documentary, damn." - Nobody In case you didn't get it, that was a quote from no one. Because that's whose eyes you have opened to the fact that this is fiction. No one's. I'm sure they're very grateful to you for sharing the hard truths with them, though.

[@SK-267]

"He's the wrong shape" - so simple, yet so brutal!

[@awilmart]

What's actually true about that is the guy who played Jonah Ryan says those are the ones that hurt him. The ones like they just listed don't really bother him because they are funny and you can laugh a little with them. But when they say "he's the wrong shape" or "your hips are weird," those are the ones that hurt.

[@damnthisuser]

Who said he's the wrong shape?

[@SK-267]

@@damnthisuser it's not in this video. A woman said it during a focus group (for Jonah's campaign ad)... Still hilarious, though!

[@deyesed]

@@awilmart he was also hurt by head/body size mismatch comment from the same ep

[@robertgaumont5446]

It’s like his head is too big for his body but sometimes his body is too big for his head….

[@ARWG]

"The Pointless Giant"

[@ElMehdiGoubar]

Supercalifragilisticexpialidickcheese I can't even

[@Amiittk]

The best insult isnint even here, that would be "hepatitus J" 😂😂😂

[@roonil3931]

That was ad-libbed by Reid Scott (dan)

[@apelz911]

"The Cloud Botherer" is my absolute fave from the show

[@nostradamusus]

Dan's smirk throught the equestioning is just pure gold. He's enjoying every minute of it.

[@florenciacastellan9308]

Hagrid's nutsack. God Bless the writers of Veep.

[@marioescalante4401]

Two of the insults that didn’t make the cut were “horse abortion” and “King Kong’s taint” LMFAO What does it for me is how Jonah raises his hands when he says “uh, my college friends called me , uh, Tall McCartney??”

[@webkid4567]

He's so good 😂 the matter-of-factness and the hand gesture like he's in a planning meeting brainstorming a "more palatable" alternative to "Cloud Botherer" or "Benedict Cuminhisownhand"

[@pmc8451]

“The Cloud Botherer” is just brilliant.

[@OGJake]

The Cloud Botherer

[@Frankenbutt99]

I know it’s one of the most basic ones, but “gaylien” cracks me up every time.

[@yankeesplyr23]

Guyscraper is also gold.

[@dielaughing73]

Spewbacca

[@dharmallars]

the cloud-botherer

[@basehead617]

Everyone here has nerves of steel. I've watched the whole thing while looking at each person including all the extras and nobody was breaking.

[@gautamtanwar6783]

I know right! I did the same. It's amazing that no one breaks

[@FireIsTheCIeanser]

The two guys in the back at 0:54 almost smile

[@dakritic]

True but the real question is, how many takes did it take to pull that off?

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Do you know how many takes were made there? Noone does. Also, you clearly don't understand what nerves of steel mean, it's used in/for much more serious and tense situations...

[@ivanpb1983]

"One Erection". hahahahahah

[@wuraolaolagunju]

0:58 looks so proud of himself

[@ravenrose5712]

Amy's expression is priceless.

[@user-lr8pk7un1x]

and then tom jones at the very end describing gary as a 12 year old boy trapped in the body of a 12 year old girl had me in hysterics

[@Nigeltufnel711]

I now want to hear Julie Andrews sing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidickcheese"

[@wannabehendrix]

Nigeltufnel711 LMAO!!!!!!!!!

[@pickawallbootz-]

OMG 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm weak from laughter!!!

[@lorcannagle]

The Jonad files being on the J: drive is a stealthy callback to The Thick of it. Stuart Pearson had his election contingency plans stored there.

[@jimmy2k4o]

MILLER'S ASSENTION WHITEHALL ARAB SPRING AND IF YOU CAN'T ACCESS THE J DRIVE, PLEASE HAND YOUR PASS IN ON YOUR WAY OUT.

[@Muckydoggy1]

YOU ARE SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS.

[@k8like]

"You're not even your Mom's favourite Jonah, Jonah!"

[@beymyselfandi]

The way he slightly paused when he said, “Teenage mutant ninja... ass holes” always cracks me up. 🤣

[@TheBadtzmaroo]

i love it how you decide to include Jonah's Tall McCartney - the futile attempt to redeem himself.

[@akf2000]

hahahaha

[@williamcondon7729]

I’m really glad Nelix allowed him to continue, because that was hilarious

[@CrashB111]

@Kenny Duthie It's the voice that gives him away.

[@monex5]

I watched this on a plane and i had to turn my face into a window... Because it was all I could do to not explode from laughter

[@awesomekmf20002003]

They are all hysterical. I almost cried laughing so hard.

[@alexdrake27]

I never don't die laughing when I think of "The Cloud Botherer."

[@theena]

In one of the latter seasons, Patton Oswal's character calls Jonah a 'Sky Rapist'. That may be the knockout punch.

[@archangelum]

It's incredible the vast amount of foul, witty, hilarious insults VEEP writers generated. Nothing cheers me up like the lyrical put downs of VEEP.

[@hindsightpov4218]

Now Sherlock is going to have to put up with "Benedict-Cum-in-his-own-hand" jokes.

[@hitchslap8254]

To be fair at school he was called "bendy dick cum on my baps"....

[@knoxbox1212]

@0:57 I love how Dan is discreetly proud of himself for some of the names lol I never noticed that

[@user-eq2en9rf6z]

It's almost like he forgot he said one of them. "Heh. That was a good one."

[@dolokpurba]

TINKERBALLS! I died.

[@7srchoed]

This clip should go in the "Dan & Amy Belong Together. Should Get Married And Have Pretty, Horrible Children or just Pretty Horrible Children" file.

[@myprevioushandlenamewascringe]

Well they're halfway there. Maybe the other way round but, still halfway there!

[@ThePanicPuppet]

"Pointless giant" and "cloud botherer." I dunno which one I like more.

[@jerrycrute1428]

Thia scene alone should have won an Emmy. 🤣🤣🤣

[@blackspider1405]

I watched this on a 6am flight to Florida.. I had to squeeze myself to prevent the explosion from laughter..my stomach was sore by the time we landed.

[@runechristiansen7372]

LOL... this whole episode is just awesome!!

[@alex.8648]

Now *these* are talented writers. PRICELESS! 👏😭😂😂😂😂😂🔥

[@m35926]

These are fantastic but nothing beats Roger Furlong's insults

[@samk5842]

Roger: How slow do you move, Will? Will: I move as slowly as a Mississippi detective investigating the murder of a young black man, sir.

[@georgeprchal3924]

"Hey Fuckleberry Finn!" Roger to Mike.

[@thegayge]

That sweaty pederast ruined more kids than the common core

[@AndrewCortesi]

It’s funny I always want to quote Furlong in every day conversation but everything he says (alongside Will) is so wonderfully scripted for the context of the scene.

[@Jeffrey-wo5sx]

This whole episode was genius in so many ways…but this scene is tops….hysterical.

[@ellerabais3256]

The best 73 seconds of television ever!

[@kmac3215]

“The Cloud Botherer.”😝😝😝

[@zacharyjacobson7647]

I'm impressed with how well and quick that gray haired guy was reading those names off.

[@dielaughing73]

Old dudes have been around

[@NevadaBoss]

"Jizzy Gillespie"...lol. Oh man, this show had some great writers...

[@ianfuller8222]

Jizzy Gillespie is a subtle yet hilarious burn, probably my favorite!🤣🤣🤣

[@nicholasguadagnino8128]

I like to think Jonah told someone his nickname used to be Tall McCartney, which inspired that someone to add “Jono Ono” to the list.

[@flightdub6056]

The pan round to Amy’s face at 1:00 is fucking incredible

[@markmvose]

I can, and have, watched this way too many times and still giggle. Possibly top ten most humorous clips in television history... albeit quite vulgar

[@devinredlich7011]

"The cloud botherer" is the winner.

[@tinyfeet101]

I swear this show has the most incredible writing

[@grimsnark4849]

Dan Egan's face while they're reading the nicknames.

[@sinjinreed2091]

Dan trying his best to not be pleased with himself.

[@charlesevans2701]

Timothy Simons is brilliant as Jonah

[@MrTerence102]

the most amazing list EVER!!!!!!!!!

[@jeff5534]

This scene is legendary, every time I rewatch Veep I’m always waiting for this scene because I know I’m going to need a paperbag for hyperventilating with laughter

[@rogerfurlong1535]

One of the best episodes haha. All hail The Pointless Giant!

[@dnzyvc2213]

Transgenderformers hahahahaha

[@kebl2268]

These slay me every time.

[@davidschexnayder2261]

The two background actors at 01:03 start smiling, obviously trying not to laugh at the dialogue. 🤣

[@khalilaraj3971]

funniest scene ever. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@spencertaweel]

I actually think "the pointless giant" might be the most visceral blow

[@stephanieroxas1509]

This was such a great episode lol

[@chntnpbr]

I died watching this one. My favorite was when Ben called him the world's largest single celled organism.

[@Darkstar263]

This reminds me of the Enquiry in The Thick of It when the jokes about Mr Tickel were being read out.

[@rds990]

"Scrotum Pole"....I love it !!

[@sebastiansfeci1305]

Guyscraper lmao

[@matchesmalone2625]

The two guys in the back couldn't hold it in anymore, they had to giggle for a sec

[@SupaDooba]

LOOOL i laughed so hard the first time i saw this

[@ashleybrooke2087]

The 12 Years a Slave one cracks me up every time because it's not clever wordplay & so unnecessary & I can hear someone like Dan or Mike calling Jonah that directly

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

It's not just 12 years a slave, it's "12 years a slave to jerking off" so it is a wordplay of sorts

[@terrellepps9548]

I saw the full episode yesterday and almost died laughing.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

No you didn't. You just had a laugh...

[@wannabehendrix]

SpewBacca!!! OMG!! Lmao

[@mikebradt8080]

Jonah, "do we have to go through all of these?" Congressmen, "oh, ok, sure you can proceed."

[@iamnotattachedtothis8060]

How many takes did they have for this scene? No way they got through without someone or everyone bursts out laughing.

[@andrewtighe4603]

This is my new favorite thing

[@wannabehendrix]

Just so freakin hilarious!!

[@KennyG881]

I wanna see the outtakes for this scene. There has to be a lot of them.

[@gabxp3095]

[@alquint2968]

Jizzy Gillespie 😂😂😂

[@UsagiVeg]

I love how some of the background people are grinning.

[@aromaticflower]

Nobody in the background grins.

[@1carrollwood298]

This is what happens when the president hates Jonah 🤣😂🤣

[@geemurphy3721]

I can't stop laughing

[@starfishcoffee2854]

I want to see the outtakes from this scene.

[@chrissy9153]

How those actors sat in that room listening to all of those names being listed off without laughing is beyond me

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

They do many takes of the same scene. Also, it's their job.

[@tylerkochman1007]

I think Jonah perjured the worst when he said he had “college friends”. No way that man had friends in college

[@darer7158]

I'm WHEEZING

[@keithedwards8365]

Benedict cuminhisownhand 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Admiral_John]

Anna looks like she's barely holding it together. :)

[@winstonhuang2552]

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy playing the investigator got some sort of health problem from suppressing laughter

[@charlesevans2701]

[@A.N.A8]
