"The West Wing" Out of Context [CC] 

I can't get over the fact that so many of these clips are ones with Josh in them

Elmo calling out the 1st lady was outta pocket lmao

The sound of the ball bouncing as Toby figures out Hoynes is beautiful

Honestly, the "O Canada" scene is much funnier in context

I feel this moment was missing: “Victory is mine, victory is mine. I drink from the keg of glory. Donna, bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.” “It’s going to be an unbearable day.”

As someone who lives in Indiana, I always found the time-zone scene done beautifully.

This show was a fever dream

The fact that this doesn't include "I'M MARION COTESWORTH HAYE!" and CJ's laugh is unforgivable.

You forgot the literal first joke of the series: The President rode his bicycle into a tree. Also Bartlet hugging Toby while high on drugs.

THE BUILDING ON FIRE ONE GETS ME SO HARD EVERY TIME

“We CHANGED time ZONES?!” Still makes me bark-laugh.

This series has some of the best dialogue I’ve ever heard. I never had so much fun listening to middle aged people have dysfunctional arguments about politics.

My love for CJ and Josh's brother/sister relationship is suddenly coming back with a vengeance

I have watched this series so many times that I can relate exactly what happened on each and every scene you clipped. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or proud 😁

10:55 Donna's smile while saying "I framed Roger Rabbit" is perfection.

Ginger get the popcorn. Classic!

Now I just am in need of a compilation of just CJ laughing.

I've watched the West Wing series probably 18 million times and will continue to do it again.I just wish Netflix would put it back on.😥

A fun detail. The young guy trying to help in the Indiana scenes is played by John Gallagher Jr., who will several years later play Jim Harper in "The Newsroom", another of Aaron Sorkin's creations. (Highly recommend that series, as well!)

You forgot the classic ''it's nice when we can do something for prostitutes once in a while, isn't it?'' from President Bartlet.

I love Donna immediately staring at Tobey in disapproval after the "minivan" comment

Even out of context it’s better writing than almost all other shows in history.

Toby: Didnt realize babies come with hats. 😂 7:34 and the goldfish gift for CJ was top notch comedy. i love the writers of this show

I have spent hours of my life looking for that one of Stockard Channing cackling with the tie.

This was a great compilation, but the actor/character that stirs me the most in this series is John Amos. That man stole the scenes he was in. Killing him off may have been a necessary plot twist, but it deprived the rest of us of some great acting.

"CJ, You fell into the pool there" is my favorite flashback. That, and the Chicken Dinner at the VFW with Bartlett.

Donna's face when she says "I framed Roger Rabbit" LOL

How can you have a complication like this without CJ firing a revolver and getting knocked flat?

Not really sure why it took me this long to get this video recommended since I’m both a fan of The West Wing and out of context things! Pure gold

I've watched these shows enough times to place all of those in context. I plan to watch the entire series in 2024. It's the only way to keep sane in an election year.

I only now realised that Tyler in the episode 20 Hours In America is Jim from The Newsroom!

i LOVE finding recent west wing fan content holy shit also thank you for the funny captions and sams little dental hygiene smile!!! 10/10

The only two I wish were included were Josh in a yellow fisherman's bib, and CJ tripping after Abbey cut Jed's tie before his speech.

The reason that the majority of the clips contain bits of Josh is because although it was supposed to be the story of Sam Seaborn, Martin Sheen walked in and the first episode, and from what was to be a four bit part became a full-time job. And Josh, as deputy chief of staff was the next most important guy other than the great late John Spencer, as a Leo McGarry. so joshes role had to be seriously increased plus this is the big plus everybody loved him. They loved him and then he got shot and they loved him more and in the end of the seventh season when he got together with Donna which was the only way It could ever be. Any sooner would have screwed the show up miserably. And he is almost onset nervous break down for the second time made Josh, the most interesting person in the room when neither the president or Leo were not there.

Toby: didn’t realise babies come with hats Me: bursting out laughing without any idea of the conversation that I just Burst out laugh with.

I didn’t think I could pick my favourite of these but then I heard “A SEQUET PWANN TO FIGHT INFWATION!!??” at 12:39 and I burst out laughing.

... there are so many West Wing clips that are outstanding ... but there is one above all else ... "The Lil' Drummer Boy" and the Funeral at Arlington for he homeless vet ... I always cry ... always !!!

I only now realized that the Tyler kid from "20 Hours in America" is Jim from The Newsroom

It's not out of context when you've seen the show from beginning to end enough times 😂

Unfortunately I've seen this show so many times that I automatically know the context of all of these haha

It was such a lovely fairytale I lived in DC during most of its run it was the only thing that kept me sane during the years where the president and his staff couldn't put 10 words into a coherent sentence

Too funny! I watched a lot when it was on TV so could remember some context for some scenes. Have just bought the whole thing on DVD to watch with my husband who hasn't seen it. Can't wait for his education to begin. :-)

I had forgotten the reference to Matthew Perry at the Hollywood party. Hilarious!

A great compilation almost every great moment from a great series.

Thank you thank you thank you! I love this series and I really needed a laugh! So very well stitched together!

Lol this is basically just “West Wing Most Iconic Moments” 😂

I don't know why, but this video is perfection. Thank you for making it!

CJ you fell into the pool there

The goldfish will always kill me. Danny is so foozled.

Absolutely wonderful I’ll take four more

That was the fastest 15 min ever!

0:23 Sam Seaborn turns into Chris Traeger for 10 seconds

FANTASTIC!!! I Laughed out loud multiple times...this made my day!!!

Loved it, great job!

FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

Uh do one more, and let us know. :) Missing the rest of Toby's baby announcement. "Twins. Two. One. Two. "

I love this! Great job!

Great video! I knew the context of every clip.

What does it say about me that none of these clips were "out of context", I knew every one of them and what lead up to them. Aaron Sorkin knows how to make humans seem like something good.

Cant believe there is no GERALD in there!!! 🤣🙏🏻

Thanks so much for this

A solid compilation, but leaving out the episode title of "guns not butter" was a critical flaw 😂

Thank you. I'm subscribing to HBO Max now.

5:28 😂😂😂 I have the context for this scene now but I didn't the first time and this is bringing it all back 🤣

This was great thank you for this

0:45 "Wow! What else can you do?" 2:48 "You know, the ancient Hebrews had a word for Jews from Westport. They pronounced in Presbyterian." 4:04 "You know what, I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be physicists." 6:42 "Avert your eyes!" 7:12 "I'm a whole new woman." 7:50 "You know I'm not entirely sure I was supposed to know that." 8:50 "One of them poured Wheatena on the keyboard." 10:00 "A what?" 12:11 "I'm gonna get my husband." 13:43 "Go outside turn around three times and spit!" 14:59 "Not a word Ziegler."

Thank you for this. Really good stuff dude

We never did get that staff field trip to Shenandoah 🤣🤣🤣

“Andrew Jackson… ughhhhh” is arguably very much in context

*sighs* Congratulations, this video single handedly derailed my writing, I brought it on myself though lol 😂

Loved that show!!!

my favorite not included in this is the one where sam makes up a pilgrim detective show 🤣

I LOVE THIS VIDEO - THANKS

Omg I needed a laugh today and this was perfection

WHERE is the clip where Kristin Chenoweth walks under the top drawer of the filing cabinet during a walk-&-talk???

Love this show!!!!

3:35 😂😂😂 I don't think we as a fandom talk enough about how awkward Amy was at first

I just kinda screamed for like half of these

I didn't realise babies came with hats. Me either Toby. Me either.

10:49, I love watching Donna screw with CJ.

The college kid at the train station turned into Jim Harper working at ACN...

I remember every scene.

"CJ get the popcorn" Its not like context was going to help that scene anyway

Some people quote Bible verses and yet this is my religion right here

Nice one, subbed. Have not @^@ to see if the writing team are still going, but imagine a current The West Wing ..

This is perfect 😂

Yaaaaaaaaaaaas people still making TWW videos in 2021 RHSTYDSKYDMH!!!!! (tww was my very first fandom back in 2013 when I was 13) I'M SO EXCITEEEEEEEED!!!! P.S. Great video btw 😅

That's special agent sunshine. Oddly, my favorite.

I love this show lol

I so wish this show was streaming somewhere.

I deserved a trigger warning for that Josh and Amy scene

Excellent

So nice..

Can't believe I just spent 15 minutes watching that

I didnt realize babies come with hats

Aaaaaaaah! I'm gonna have to come back later to finish commenting cuz I need ta write rn

6:35 *falls out of my chair laughing* Never gets old 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

3:55 😂🤣😂🤣😂 The *SECOND* I heard this I knew exactly what it was going to be

OMG the teenager in Iowa ends up becoming News Night's senior associate Producer. Woah

Damn, the slippery shoes is the only scene where I don’t know the context!
