Amy's meltdown is amazzzinggg, but the aftermath of it is even better. Selina's pissed off at Amy blowing up like that, but she trusts her judgement no matter what - and lo and behold, Amy was totally right about Karen.
The look on her face when she is looking at Karen after that. Oh my god. So amazing. Like a solid thirty seconds. And the way she waited until the second Amy was out the door to start going with her judgment.

The moment that follows when Amy storms out is just a masterful performance by JLD. You can see everything shes basically thinking from anger, to realizing light bulb moment, to acceptance. It's just brilliant acting.
Karen Collins, the queen of the obvious, the cliche and the common sense. No wonder why Selina likes her - by being vague and ambiguous she is a perfect fit por Selina who NEEDS someone who agrees with her 100%.
6:29 is a great example of why I love this show. So much comedy is hidden in just the movements and facial expressions. You can so easily miss it and it's so good. JLD killed it with a one-second hand movement. I just love it. One of the best comedies of all time.
I find the implication of Karen being one of Selina's best friends really funny, since all she does is repeat exactly what Selina has said back to her. Show's how conceited Selina really is.
MikeHunt speak for yourself, I'm starting medical school next week. I'm not even American btw and even if I was I'd still fling myself at a uni in the uk than give any pompous ivy league the pleasure of rejecting 'a non legacy' candidate. In ivy leagues: legacy + money > grades
The look Ben gives Amy at 2:09 is awesome. Ben and Kent's rising frustration in the clip don't have the fireworks of Amy's, but they're internally losing their minds and it's great.
True, JLD and Anna get their laurels, of course, but creating a character with a deadly mix of benign, aggravating cluelessness and self-servitude takes talent
What I always found clever was the nod they made when she arrives in Nevada. The door opens, and the plane reads "James for President", instead of Meyers
1:37 "Do you think we need to issue a statement?" "Yes, but a statement that can be repurposed if things change. He dies, he doesn't die. Or whatever." The essence of Karen, the parrot. *Cheers*
Starting at 3:18. Anna Chlumsky delivers her lines with such expertise. The way her voice cracks, like she's almost on the verge of tears while expressing her disappointment and anger.
Typical mediocre middle management types. They get quite high up in most hierarchies because they are completely non-threatening to people's egos and mirror anyone they interact with. People that show no strong views, opinions, ideology or backbone get along well with more egotistical leaders.
I don't remember Selene saying, "You're gonna cancel this recount like Anne Frank's Bat-Mitzvah." I am done. OFFICIALLY, "grasping my pearls!!!!" These writers deserved ALL the awards!
She sounds like every paper I wrote in college
hahahaha you the mvp
The accuracy
black paw hahahaha yes!
Abraham Olalde Which you seem to have continued into life. When I throw a party, your role is filler.
@Scott Harry u nailed it
Why didn’t we ever get Karen and Minna together for a scene?!
Javi928 Esca OMG... That would be a scene of lost in translation while saying nothing at the same time.
David Eanes right?! It would be amazing!
Or better yet, a SPIN OFF!!!
😂
Oh we really need a spin off with the two of them! It would be gold!!
Not a full series for a spin-off. Just a one-off... or I would slit my wrists. Ha. I can’t live in that world.
Watching Amy simmering to a scalding boil is a delight. Anna should have won an Emmy for that season.
hutch absolutely ! that moment was Emmy worthy
It was extremely me. I've known so many people like this.
The way she says "it fucking sucked" when talking about Selina being the last woman president was so good. sounded like she was almost gonna cry
@@rabidbasher that's what i was thinking
Karen talks like someone who forgot to do their book report and has to present it in front of the class.

A C lol best part
In any argument
Kent = all men
Karen = all women

Karen manages to say something and nothing at the same exact time.

You dont say👏
Much like yourself
Selina's stare at Karen at 3:46 can congeal blood.
"What do you think of Tom James?"
"What do I think of him? I think there's a lot to think." LMAO
Mario Escalante And 4:01 is the moment she realizes Amy is completely correct about Karen.
Congeal blood...😂😂
"It sounds like you're angry."
"I am angry!"
"Well, that's why you sound like you're angry."
Karen: "I don't know what to think"
Ben: "Precisely"
Selina's final line "Well that was completely useless" sums up perfectly Karen's input to anything. Perfect ending!
The dramatic plane reveal made her entire character worth it
Yes!!! That made me laugh so much as soon as it happened!
It's one of my fave moments of the entire series! I called it literally as Madame President said she had it covered
Literally wonder woman stepping out of that plane. Never has a been so perfectly hired to do a job.
Amy's meltdown is amazzzinggg, but the aftermath of it is even better. Selina's pissed off at Amy blowing up like that, but she trusts her judgement no matter what - and lo and behold, Amy was totally right about Karen.
JLD's facial and body language showed Selina being angry at being told off but also realizing how right Amy was.
The look on her face when she is looking at Karen after that. Oh my god. So amazing. Like a solid thirty seconds. And the way she waited until the second Amy was out the door to start going with her judgment.
@@deyesed ...which is what OP was saying!
when they showed who Selena sent to stall the court I was done. I don't know if I laughed so hard in my life. just a genius character :D
magdalena wyrobek me tooooo
That was just one of Selina's most genius moves by Far.
I LOST it when she came out of than plane with her signature clueless expression!
I love the fact that Ben hates Karen just as much as Amy but is too lazy to say anything to Selina about it lol
I don't know what to think.
Precisely.
The very reason this is so popular, it is so true.
She is a lawyer, tho. They can argue both sides of an argument; they’re trained to. Still, she is irritating.

When Karen said her specialty was “common sense” I fell out! 😂😂😂😂😂
"You're gonna cancel this recount like Anne Frank's bat mitzvah." Oh my god.
"How is council defining 'deadline' ... AND 'PASS'!" LMAO, floored me!
that was then, and this is not then
"you're gonna cancel this recount like anne frank's bat mitzvah" literally floored me
Amy: "Have you been sent from the future to destroy me because its WORKING!"
Michael G lmaoo
“i think there’s a lot to think” had me on the floor lmao
"I'm sorry, who the fuck are you?"
"Oh, I'm Karen Collins the Presidents new senior advisor. My speciality, common sense."
A H best character introduction ever
Karen Collins, the queen of the obvious, the cliche and the common sense.
No wonder why Selina likes her - by being vague and ambiguous she is a perfect fit por Selina who NEEDS someone who agrees with her 100%.
Exactly what I came here to say. She needs a yes-woman around, and the more yessy, the better a fit for Selina.
You two are not exactly Columbuses here ...and she's not really the "queen of common sense" lmao

And how even after firing her she still keeps her around! So hilarious.
...well duh! Do people really feel good about themselves after "explaining" the obvious?
oh, you must be karen, saying nothing while talking.
@@dharmallars because she can be good use in some occasion like : what is a vote?~ lol
The funniest recurring character!
Love the rivalry between her and Amy.
Thanks for the compilation!
Not Mina the finland’s prime minister???? She’s the best. Karen is second.
7:40 is my fave. “How is council defining deadline??? AND PASSED??” LMFAO
"Well that was then, and this is not then"
Idk why that line had me dying 😂😂😂
Yes, you know, because it's funny, and no sweetie you weren't "dying".
She reminds me so much of Kellyanne Conway.
And Abby Huntsman on The View.

The most stressful 9 minutes of my life.
Her comment about a 360 degree turn is the most apt metaphor for her
I love the way Selina turns to look at Karen after Amy walks out as if seeing her for the first time, and asks her a question that's a complete trap.
"what do I think of him? I think there's a lot to think." Gosh...have to use this line someday in life. It certainly drives people crazy. Ha.
The look Ben gives Amy at 2:09 is awesome. Ben and Kent's rising frustration in the clip don't have the fireworks of Amy's, but they're internally losing their minds and it's great.
Lennon Parham as Karen is fantastic lol, she cracks me up
I hated her caracter! And that's how I know she is an amazing actress
True, JLD and Anna get their laurels, of course, but creating a character with a deadly mix of benign, aggravating cluelessness and self-servitude takes talent
i love how they found something she’s finally good at in the end
“I’m Karen Collins, the President’s new Senior Advisor. My specialty? Common sense!”
The look on Amy’s face immediately after that 😂
like she saw a dead rat
The looks on JLD's face at 3:34 are brilliant. She conveyed so much without any words. So much talent
She is incredibly talented. ❤
her immediately change of opinion at 0:51 perfectly sums up her character. Genius writing
man this woman pisses me off so hard but she's so funny agh
What I always found clever was the nod they made when she arrives in Nevada. The door opens, and the plane reads "James for President", instead of Meyers
The court scenes are some of my favourites 💁😂
"I think theres a lot to think."! fuCKKKKK :))

1:37 "Do you think we need to issue a statement?"
"Yes, but a statement that can be repurposed if things change. He dies, he doesn't die. Or whatever." The essence of Karen, the parrot. *Cheers*
2:28 "Everybody stop having ideas" 😂 I love Karen
"Is water, wet?"
But what if it's not wet, does this mean it's dry?
my daddy used to say that all the time.
Well, from the standpoint of water... most of it has tremendous wetness.
@@DrZaius3141 how are you defining water?
why is my merlot, dry?

mind... blown...
“Everybody stop having ideas" -high school
Starting at 3:18.
Anna Chlumsky delivers her lines with such expertise. The way her voice cracks, like she's almost on the verge of tears while expressing her disappointment and anger.
The line about no more women presidents felt very personal for Amy's character and the tirade was punctuated with it at the end.
"I'm Karen."
"If the deadline has passed, why is the recount allowed to go on?"
So gooood.
Amy's meltdown is my favourite in all this. She's sooo good! JLD kills it right after as well.
4:26 is a beautiful tableau of facial expressions.
“Thats exactly what i said”
Karen collins: “Alright”
Her “this is a 360° turn” line is the one what really sent me
"that's good, do that!!"
My favorite VEEP character. Thanks for compiling this. I have viewed it several times as a pick-me-upper...
People like Karen Collins really do exist!
Typical mediocre middle management types. They get quite high up in most hierarchies because they are completely non-threatening to people's egos and mirror anyone they interact with. People that show no strong views, opinions, ideology or backbone get along well with more egotistical leaders.
Well, based on my experience, I would say that's both true and not true.
karen is soooo frustrating omfg
We all know a Karen
this is amazing
She is Kellyanne Conway.
people could be genius when put in good use, XD I laughed so loud when Karen landing from the plane.
"I don't know what to think"
"Precisely."
I love her in the court room. She's fire.
I work for a major corporation - Karens everywhere! "Conceal it?" love. Perfectly played. Love you Karen!!!
what is a vote?
I think there's a lot to think.
I looove it!! 😂 One of my fav scene..
I need a Minna compilation asap! hahaha
I tried to upload a Minna video but it got blocked :( The scenes were too long I think. I'll try again soon with some shorter scenes
All the best! Thanks for this compilation :D
I can't wait! Minna is my favorite. I really enjoyed this one too, so thank you!
I uploaded a Minna compilation today!
You've done a great service to us. We are eternally grateful for the Minna's compilation
Until this show, I never knew it was possible to hate a fictional character SO MUCH!
Omg she’s just like KellyAnne Conway lol I can see why JLD was saying it’s getting harder to satirize lol
The best character after Richard Splett
Richard was Awesome☺
“Karen What do you think of Tom James?”
“I think there’s a lot to think”
😭
"How hard is it to decide between two candidates?"
She is my favorite character in the entire show and I love her.
4:28 the look on Kent's face. 😂
summation... "I don't know what to think." "Precisely."
I just love the scene where Selena consults with her in the Oval, and walks out saying "Well that was completely useless"
And it’s the one time she gives advice 😂
Karen Collins is the embodiment of centrism lol
Is the sky blue ?
Is water wet ?
*dead*
"Your champagne is laced with polonium..."
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I know people who talk this way. They speak for hours and mean nothing. Karen is fun!!

why is that funny can u explain?
The original Chat GPT
Karen is an energy vampire.
I see that you're a man of culture!
God you just made me realize even though this show was perfect it still could have used a hint of mark proksch
god i love that moment 3:48 when she *really* looks at Karen
"What do I think of him? I think there's a lot to think"
:)
"Maybe the gun doesn't have any bullets" 8:42 is both hilarious, deep, and complete nonsense at the same time.
"My specialty: common sense" LMAO
“Isnt that spooky”
“Not even remotely”
“Well maybe the gun doesn’t have any bullets”
"Vote, what is a vote?" I'm dead!
Kent's face at 4:28 is soooo funny!
Best one's when she stalled for the counting of the votes.
Selina: I don't need a yes man!!
Karen: Hold my beer
6:28 Oh, for fuck's sake. Best "For Fuck's sake," ever.
Karen: "This is a 360 degrees turn"
Ken: "It's 180"
