We have discussed, on a number of occasions, our great admiration for the river of creative profanity that flows through HBO’s Veep like the mighty Mississippi. (There’s something about calling an underling a “gold-plated sh-t-gibbon” that’s so beautiful it makes our eyes water.) And we’ve also discussed our affinity for the show’s star, Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who, giant nightmare-inducing marketing monstrosities aside, seems like a very fun and pretty lady who we’d like to have a bottle or two of wine with over a raucous, side-splitting dinner.
But, until we can all find time in our very busy schedules to set up said dinner, and ask her lots of questions about filthy cuss words, we’ll have to settle for interviews like this one.
Do you have an absolute favorite line from the show?
Oh, Season 1 … I like the croissant/dildo line. It’s one of my favorites. I think it’s really just — [Laughs] — one hell of a classy line. I think this season — well, there are many coming that you haven’t heard, of course — “Jolly Green Jizzface.” That was pretty fabulous.
Excellent choice, milady.
And speaking of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and cussing, here’s a clip of her playfully calling Jay Leno an asshole on The Tonight Show last night when she figured out he was going to show a clip from her very first film role, 1986’s Troll. The name-calling may have been in good fun, but I’ll take what I can get.

I love that that’s her favorite line. I probbaly watched that twenty times (ten for the line, the other ten for her inability to say it with a straight face).
It’s gonna be nice to have this back. Sundays are going to be really good for a while.
I think we should start a thread for possible new Veep insults. I’ll go first: Troll-faced cum gobbler.
I’ve used monkey felching shit barber numerous times whilst road raging. Does the trick.
For Jonah: Lanky fucktarded cunt monkey.
/amy to dan
‘youd go necro on ladybird johnson’s decomposed, earthworm inhabited pussy if it would get you half a step higher on your career jerkoff ladder’
“You’re not even your mom’s favorite Jonah, Jonah.”
^^^ that is my favorite line ever.
/writes down “monkey felching shit barber”
What I’m saying, you fucking ape, is that you are a useless waste of fucking carbon. I’ve been trying to cynically use you but you’re so fucking low rent that you can’t even be exploited
“How many times have you talked to the president today?” [Jonah: “Four times.”] “And in each of those, did he say, ‘Someone get this freak the fuck away from me’?”
“Are we really going to let the guy with the police sketch face of a rapist tell us what to do?”
If we’re talking new insults, I’d like to see Jonah called “the Walking Braindead.”
Or maybe “Lesbian Lurch.” Yeah, let’s go with that.
“Lesbian Lurch” wins it for me.
Lesbian Lurch just puts an Adams Family/Ellen vision in your head….. in my head… OK, never mind.
Louis-Dreyfus 2016!
If the DVD’s don’t have a “ripping on Jonah reel” I will be sorely disappointed.
Very excited for this. Been watching The Thick of It to get myself ready.
