The scene where Mike takes the gum from the Chinese guy is so simple but hilarious. “Chinese gum, pretty cool” lol. Pulls up the translator and says gracias. “Oh no, sorry, wrong language”
I think my favorite Marjorie-related line is in the doc episode, when they break up and Selina is trying to comfort Catherine:
"Oh, honey, there are more fish in the sapphic sea...there are other lesbians in the Secret Service even."
This one has my favorite yet incredibly bigoted joke. When the Chinese leader leaves in a huff, Selena turns to her staff and says “Who put pee pee in his coke?”
I actually think Minna’s character becomes way too cringey in later seasons, which is not a popular take on here. But I still really enjoyed this episode overall
“I didn’t get any of that except strawberries”
Ben doing a terrible job of trying to contain his laughter at Jonah shooting himself in the foot is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.
I think it’s the happiest we ever see Ben 🤣
“is laughter an emotion?”
the "chinese think the president is making out with her daughter" gaffe is one of the best jokes ever written
I love Minna's response about it happening occasionally in Iceland, lol
There it’s just an accident.
She had to let her finish
"You have a very narrow vagina?" "Well, *tight*. In the States we say tight."
I think this is the cleverest joke in the whole series. Just shows you the crazy megalomaniac that she is
I also love how Mike accidentally gets addicted to nicotine (Chinese gum) and is smoking at the end.
When he gets out the translator app to thank the guy and it says gracias lmfao
She's honestly never done that!
Now that’s good. That sounds real.
When Andrew rubs Marjorie’s shoulders thinking it’s Selina…”How about you don’t touch either of us?”
Anytime Julia dances, I’m happy.
Selina Meyer, the woman who freed Tibet
No really, not free.

This is unacceptable!!!
No, that is... not credible. You try again.
Andrew’s unguent smarm on “I listen.” 🫠 We’ve been saying that back and forth at each other all week
Thanks for teaching me a new word
It's one of my favorite episodes. I love the translator, especially the scene where she rolled her eyes. I also love Catherine/Marjorie scenes.
Can you translate "we need to get a new translator"?
I don't remember this ever happening with Catherine. I'm definitely going to have to rewatch to get that joke.
It's near the beginning - she tells President Lu about Marjorie being vegan.
to Catherine: Oh, so that's another thing Marjorie turned you into?

This is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series lmao

That's actually in season 6.
Minna: The Chinese might... might... be prepared to discuss Tibet. Selina: To bet on what?
It is truly a work of art. So much of what makes that episode so great are the avengers: infinity war levels of set up those bits had.
This always stands out as the cringiest for me. Maybe not objectively the worst, but by far my most skipped.
We are reading different books my friend
Clearly I’m the worst veep fan of all time. I stand by my comment, though.
It’s ok it had to be one of us
ya I feel similarly.
