'Veep' Does Put-Downs Better Than Anyone: 10 Insults That Will Make You a Fan For Life
Oh, Veep, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. Of the shows myriad glories, it is perhaps its put downs, insults, and general not-niceties that make the Julia Louis-Dreyfus fronted HBO show one of our absolute favorites. It's a no-holds-barred, barreling, bumbling look at life in as the V-POTUS — if that V-POTUS and everyone else working in Washington were amazing concoctions of Armando Iannucci's mind.
After reading the series creator's interview with BuzzFeed, we were reminded of the many, many reasons to love this relentlessly mean and hilarious show. All of which can be embodied in the increasingly clever and unending well of quippy comebacks the series' stars sling week after week. If you're not a fan of the series (for shame!), these 10 put downs will likely have you binge-watching the first two seasons in no time. Don't be a Jonad, you golly green jizzface: get familiar with our favorites right NOW!
