  • Was This Supposed To Be A Comedy?

    "Abysmal"
    By mlauzon, Yesterday
    This show was just not funny in the least, I have no idea what they were going for, but it's just not working. I can't see this show lasting all that long, even though it is on HBO.

  • Keeps getting better.

    1st episode - "That was pretty funny"
    2nd episode- "This show is getting better"
    3rd episode- "I am totally hooked, god damn hilarious"

    This show is downright funny. The entire cast is solid gold.

    The great thing is that they come up with real situations that a VP might run in to, but then they kind of toss out the rules as to what a real VP would do to solve them. The writing sometimes tries too hard for a joke, but it's only about once or twice per episode that something feels forced.

    The feud between the VP's staff and the President's staff makes for some great lines.moreless

    Loved "In the Loop" and the formula works even better on TV in that I'll welcome hours of Ianucci's dialogue. It feels like the perfect extension of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' "Seinfeld" role, and while her team is impossibly inept, the interactions are hilarious and endlessly quotable. Things can always get worse, which the characters will be quick to bring up - "What if Tom Hanks died?"

    I also love that so far it is mostly a non-political show. There are only veiled references to current issues (don't upset the oil industry) and we're not likely to meet the President - at least I hope. Did he call?moreless

    This show is simply fantastic - it's funny & it's smart at the same time! For me it's like The Office 2.0, only better! Julia Louis-Dreyfus is amazing and so are the rest of the cast! In my opinion, this show mocks politics and makes fun of the ridicules things that they sometimes so often do, but at the same time it also humanizes them, by showing that they are also humans and we all have our flaws & no one is perfect. Excellent example of which was at the end of episode 2 "Frozen Yoghurt", when VeeP had a diarrhea in the middle of the street - what can be more human than that?! So to sum up - GREAT show!moreless

  • Is this supposed to be about a fantasy Sarah Palin vice presidency?
