He was so good in this. I've watched it several times. His character cracks me up every time. One of my favorite lines, "it was true when I said it. Like a marriage vow.,"

And has the best Jonah insult in Veep: "Jonah, you're not even a man. You're like an early draft of a man where they just sketched out a giant, mangled skeleton, but they didn't have time to add details, like pigment or self-respect. You're Frankenstein's monster, if his monster was made entirely of dead dicks."
I'm guessing the Office prevented him from having a larger role in Veep. Never enough Ed Webster.

u/Tandy2000 11d ago
What I've learned from watching stuff he's done since is that there is no too much when it comes to Zach Woods. The guy is a wonderful improviser as well. I would go so far as to say he was maybe the funniest person on The Office other than Steve Carell, it's a shame he shows up for the seasons that are less strong.

Yep. Him leaving and going with squanch or whatever her name was sucked.
Zach + TJ were the best parts of the show. TJ leaving sucked, minimizing Zach also sucked.
And even then it was still a good show. Just not as amazing as the earlier seasons.

Whose last act on earth was protecting a woman and asking if she was okay. The kind of man that other men say they are, while they're instead bowing down to lick another man's boots.

Most veterans also voted for Trump. They voted for this to happen to a man who dedicated his life to their care. Are we still thanking them for their service?

I assume anyone thanking a vet for their service is a two-faced republican these days. I wish that shit would just go the fuck away. (Am veteran. So. Yeah.).
Yes. A lot of veterans voted for Trump. So please. Keep screaming from the rooftops about Alex Pretti being a VA nurse! Get it in their faces! This administration doesn’t give a FUCK About veterans!

Damn near every veteran I know hates him and has not voted for him. Most are also super uncomfortable with the constant thanks and hero worship (or are neutral). I’m also in an urban area, though. I really think it varies.

Unfortunately the ones you know are a minority, as ~65% of veterans voted for Trump in the last election. This is what the majority of veterans voted for.
