Best Thanksgiving Moments | The West Wing 

The Paul Revere knife. I know it's coming and it gets me every single time. What a show. What a cast. Man.

‘Troy doesn’t like to be touched.” Camera pans to Troy, Troy slightly steps away 😅😂🤣

The Paul Revere knife scene gets me every single time

Can we just take a moment to admire Troy's amazing comedic timing at 1:43

I love the look on Charlies face when he finds out it was made by Paul Revere. Priceless

CJ being completely oblivious to the turkey-pardoning on Thanksgiving is another weird blindspot for her character.

I grew up watching this show and now it’s tradition to watch all the thanksgiving episodes on thanksgiving and all the Christmas on Christmas. I am brought to tears every year by this tradition and have since I was 13. I could just feel with every year the near end of my family as we grew older and began moving away. Now, its just me and its the only thing I look forwards to.

Still can't believe Donna went along with putting the turkeys in CJ's office.

Best show Ever. This scene is wonderful. Love the relationship between Charlie and the President.

I cry every time Charlie is gifted the carving knife.

The Paul Revere knife - My interpretation of why the President gave it to Charlie is that he knew Charlie was feeling horrible and guilty about the shooting earlier, even though it was totally not his fault, and, despite his feelings, was carrying on valiantly doing his job. The gift was Bartlett’s way of conveying that he loved Charlie like a son, and yes, was proud of him.

I had never watched this series before the pandemic. I got HBO Max free with my internet. It was amazing and now I watch it once a year. The first two seasons have some of the best episodes ever put on television. The knife scene is amazing and well done with the process Charlie went through.

"This was made for my family by a Boston silversmith named Paul Revere" - Boom! Deepest and most profound US history there and to be given as a gift to a non-relative? Damn Charlie - you better invite the president someday to your family's Thanksgiving so he can see you use it.

Toby just going with the insanity…priceless

The great Ana Gasteyer as the butterball turkey line operator.

Fun fact: They really do bring in two turkeys each year and choose one to be pardoned. The good news is that the "loser" doesn't wind up on a dining room table. After the ceremony, both turkeys are taken to a petting zoo -- often to one in Virginia named, ironically enough, Frying Pan Park -- to live out their lives getting fat and happy (and, presumably, pet a lot.)

Bartlett is everyone's dad and I love him for it.

Writers will never equal this no matter how much they're paid. This show was written with love. Can't you tell.

I have watched this show over and over again and still don't tire of it.

And in one gift, Charlie's home contents insurance goes through the roof!

Troy has impeccable timing. That little side step away from cj.

If i ever have to use a fake names its going to be Bethersonton

Still, every time with the PR thing. It hits right in the feels. Such a great show.

" ... is there a chance I could kill my guests. I'm not saying that's a necessarily a deal breaker." In seven seasons of mega snark and sarcasm, that has to be in the top ten.

Martin Sheen said the skit with the Butterballl lady was his favorite

I agree wish it was still on. A great group of people making a great show.

Every time he gives Charlie that knife I tear up 😖

Oh what a great show that was. TWW and The Sopranos TV's golden years and now we have wall to wall reality shows and cooking programs.

Watched this in its entirety 4 times. Quite simply THE GREATEST US TV show of all time. The OC is a distant second. Sublime!

President Bartlett and Charlie with the Paul Revere knife gives me all the feels. 💕

Mrs Landingham was wonderful.

Just keep on giving us more clips of this show. It's the best

The Paul Revere knife thing... When there was a shooting at the White House, and Charlie comes bursting through the door to the Oval Office - I always thought Charlie should have yelled DAD!

The knife scene needed the other context. for the whole beginning of the episode bartlet had charlie running all ovee the place trying to find the perfect knife...because he knew he needed to replace the PR knife he would be giving to charlie.

“Charlie, get me the Butterball Hotline.” 😂

this show was before my time, but is now my favorite show.

That was excellent, we should it every year!

6:40 - I don’t know why exactly but I just love scenes like this. The Chief of Staff is in his office and the President of the United States casually pokes his head through and they talk about how to properly cook a Thanksgiving turkey. It’s honestly not even a notable moment in the show. I just love the mundaneness of it all…

Glad to watch this show. Thank you very much.

A turkey stuffed with cornbread, oysters, water chestnuts and andouille sausage would be a mess

ok let a 42 year sausage maker clear one thing up!!! ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE if not just ground and seasoned comes (when purchased) ALREADY COOKED!!!!! SOOOOOO!

Can I please get a West Wing reboot with Rob Lowe and Allison Smith?! PLEASE as the current situation of the world evolves and they, and their staff handle it with many walk and talks?

This was the best. Simply the best.🏆

I love that scene too but also the scene where they call the butter ball hotline

Great show

The hell to Thanksgiving day, nothing but fights there.

Apparently there is a lot of voice over work for "products" in Fargo, ND.

Brilliant.

Joe Bethersenton. Phil Buharnd.

Chandler was good in this series- showed his acting chops

Trump pardoned a lot of turkeys during his term. The were named Paul , Rodger, Mike Flynn, Rod, Joe Arpaio,Scooter, George Papadopoulus, Charles Kushner(sound familiar), Steve Bannon

When CJ finds the turkeys in her office, they gloss over the fact that the office would be covered in turkey shit. 🤢

I know some turkeys named Eric and Troy.

No offense to everybody else on the show, but Alisson Janney made this show.

2:40 Points for effort, Toby.

“No, no. Look behind you.” Bartlet loved to torture his staff. 😂

"....Butterball has a hotline?"

9:28 2nd greatest moment of the whole series!

I don't understand why the Butterball hotline would need a name or address...

I always wondered how much Butterball paid for the product placement? 🤔

"I'm Joe Bethersonton."

Now on All4 in the UK So free.

For the record the spice mix that Jeb demands the turkey be soaked in strikes me as awful, pretentious even. Great President, lousy cook.

Coriander? What the hell Jed? Are you making turkey tacos? Turkey curry? I expected better from you

TROY > E-ROCK

For as knowledgeable as CJ is how would she not be aware of tradition

One of the few episodes where they really stretched the bounds of accuracy/believability too far -- as if CJ -- the press secretary -- wouldn't know not only that the president pardons a turkey every Thanksgiving, but that the person in her role has to choose between two turkeys. And because she was out sick the year before? Come on.

Is the reason he gave the knife to Charlie that he had no sons of his own to pass it on to?

A bolster would not allow for sharpening the entire blade. Unless you use a block.

🦃

Cute parody of the US custom of presidential turkey pardoning! But the stuffing in those turkeys sounds vile and bacterially risky (Oysters? Sausage? Does this actually happen?). Re the AI Trading ads for schmucks that saturate RU-vid these days: The 'breakfast at Dior in Paris' or whatever it was just screamed "hey poor, desperate, brand-obsessed people: you can live like this too" which is a totally ridiculous proposition, they're not gonna share some 'guaranteed' money making technique with you, they'd be making it all for themselves! But there is one born every minute I guess which is their target market lol.

lol

Hey Bartlett, oysters, you can't eat them, it's a sin, breaking God's laws. Ditto for bacon, shrimps etc.

It's moments like Bartlett giving Charlie his family heirloom that makes me forget they're democrats for a second.

first and early

I’m happy for Charlie but that’s lowkey sexist. He shoulda gave the knife to his daughters. Oh he can’t because they’re girls? Please!

Can the Harry Potter actors return to Leavesden? It's not a movie, it's a TV show. It is called The New Adventures of Harry Potter and its first episode is called The Next Famous WB Character: Movie Edition

Bartlett is evil, and not because he's not right wing

get to the point. Enough of the build up. stopped watching.
