‘Veep’ Season 6, Episode 5 “Chicklet”
This classic episode features my all-time favorite Veep moment: Richard at the sperm bank. Sam Richardson delivers a blisteringly funny performance as he delicately explains to Marjorie and Catherine that he’s never “shook the devil’s hand.” From the use of the term “self-husbanded” to Richard asking “How will I know when I’m done?” this scene is a top-to-bottom masterpiece. This episode also includes a classic Jonah speech about how he’s been underestimated his whole life. “Failure to thrive at birth, fuck that. Puberty at 19? When it hit, it hit like a fucking thunderbolt.”
“Chicklet” is an all-time Veep classic. Stream it on HBO GO.
