I like when they're on the plane and the guy next to Sloan asks "Why did you set the Secretary of the Treasury on fire?" and Sloan responds "Just to show the other cabinet secretaries I could."
Mac is my single favourite character on a TV show ever. "I think the power going out is what's going to save this - SON OF A BITCH!" That scene has me in tears of laughter every time.
I love how Will doesn’t even react when Mac pulls the pillow out from behind his head. He’s just like, “He said something stupid. She’s going to hit him.”
I think one of my favorite moments ever is after Sloan messes up the Japanese Nuclear crisis interview and she walks out and Don is just patiently waiting for Charlie to come out screaming."Just hang on for another five seconds and know that we've all been there at one time or another." "What happens in five seconds-" "What in the name of holy fuck were you thinking about?!"
My favorite part was in the same episode: "The Japanese say the radiation is going to level 7." "I'd take their word for it, the Japanese have some experience with radiation." "Do you think that's something I should..." "That is NOT something you should mention on the air!"
I love their retraction. Sloan's all "they fool-proofed the language for this EXACT reason," and they're all "you're not fluent in Japanese," and she's all "BUT I AM."
One of my favorite lines is at the hospital when Mackenzie is getting on Will about his health and he says “can i have the mean nurse back” had me rolling 😂
the further you go through this collection you see how fucking awesome this series was, I wish they would do something with it today and bring them back,
this video doesnt set the line up well, but 5:52 "BOY THAT GENGHIS KHAN HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD IDEAS" is one of the funniest lines of dialogue ever uttered on TV.
wolf cub they were going through ways to get kicked out of the plane because Don was eager to get back to the Newsroom to report the story, and one of the ways listed online is to come up with some provocative controversial statements(probably ones that would discomfort others). So that’s why Elliot said the Genghis Khan line, in the hopes that they could get kicked out of the plane after Don repeatedly got in trouble with the air stewardess
"Go back to Japanese!" *sigh* I did not like Don... until this episode, this scene... and then watching his reactions, I totally fell in love with him. This is the Newsroom equivalent of West Wing's "Celestial Navigation" episode, 'A secwet pwan To fight infwation!"
@@majorevangelism Of course, it's an Aaron Sorkin trait. Search RU-vid for "Sorkinisms" and you'll see the same thing repeated through several TV shows & movies all written by Sorkin.
3:13 Don doesn't understand how doors work. I love that scene because it's almost like Aaron Sorkin is making fun of how on every other TV series it's so easy for people to bust through doors.
Love this. Seriously, this is a really nice compilation of some of the funniest moments! Will high and about to go on the air with the Bin Laden coverage is my favorite. Mackenzie's "Joe Biden!" and Charlie's "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!" is the best thing ever.
SIX years since this video has been up and no one talked about Sloan's "Kenzie" moments?! Sloan: I need wisdom *looks to Will* Mac: *proudly pops in* I have wisdom. Sloan: Kenzie, I love you but sometimes your wisdom leads to... Mac: *proud and confused* Sloan: you know... Mac: *still confused* Sloan: *imitates an implosion with highly accurate sound effects* Mac: yeah, no, I get it.
I'm thinking that Aaron Sorkin might have made me laugh more, with the possible exception of Groucho, than just about anybody else. Between his writing on this show and the West Wing, there have been some hilarious bits.
I hadn't watched Rudy until I heard these guys talking about it. I watched it and I admit I did have a little something in my eyes during the jersey scene.
there was a scene in one of the second season episodes where mac hits will a lot and he covers himself and says: "use your words!" I couldn't stop laughing
Uh, no. She dumped his glass of Whiskey onto his lap, at the bar, and then Will said, "Use your words." The one where she hits him with the pillow, was when he went to the hospital. You're mixing to different episodes together.
what makes this show a success? each character is unique !!! the directors did not focus only on the main characters .. even the tailor is sarcastic in his own way! and also so many reactions are unpredictable .. Charlie when he shouts at Don, McKenzie when she beats McAvoy, Sloan, Jim, .. Great Job !!!
The actual show was cancelled for all the reasons the fictional show depicted. To recap: it was a fictional news show (literally, the only time the term "fake news" truly applies) doing actual news better than the real news... and the multi media owners of the fake news show, who also own real news outlets, pulled the plug because their own show made them look bad. That is so circularly, tragically ironic, that it came all the way back to being funny.
Actually it was because Aaron Sorkin got tired of the bs of television. He will not write for tv anymore after this experience. Thanks HBO for taking off the best show you ever had
When a woman you're very close with is mad at you, she starts calling you by your full or formal name. A lot of mothers call their children their full names when they're mad.
