Listen. The other two season of this show are equally perfect but if they would've hard cut to a title screen after that line and that's how the entire show ended, I would not be upset.
There's multiple layers of context that make it so great though. When I first heard the line out of context before watching the show, I didn't get why people thought it was so funny.
It's the only moment I can think of in the entire show where a character looks directly at the camera it feels like a gag from The Office in it's prime
one of the funniest moments to me was Roman, after spending the entire time bragging about his rocket lauch, watches the thing go up in flames in silence, no buildup, it just randomly explodes
@@amyd6591 Such a stroke of genius, that. At once a commentary on Roman in particular but of course on our whole society, that exact culture of one’s whole world being in one’s phone. The screen is our only connection to reality, to life and we can make it all go away by simply putting the thing in our pocket. A generation ago you’d have to shut off the television to make it all go away but the tv still remains, as a reminder, visible. Idk, there just seems to be so much going on in that exact gesture you’re identifying.
@@amyd6591 Kind of like Don, actually, when Megan makes him listen to "Tomorrow Never Knows." he listens for a minute and then unceremoniously lifts the needle from the vinyl; he just doesn't want to know. Another gesture of denial. Like the counter-culture will all just go away and Megan will stay home and cook him dinner if only he can make this goddamned psychedelic confusion stop. :)
Mad Men, Deadwood, Sopranos, Wire, Breaking Bad...all of them are brilliant comedies. The deft tonal shifts and integrations they're all capable of is amazing. Succession may be the best of them all on that front.
That was so spot on! The fight! Believe me I have 5 siblings!! That’s how we would fight, end up pissed with slap marks all over! Not allowed to cry☹️rolling Around trying to do as much damage as possible but actually don’t do any damage
"I'm a plant that grows on rocks and subsysts off bugs that die inside him." God I love that Conner being one of the most made fun of characters throughout the series says that quote.
Connor’s speech at Lester’s funeral has to be one of THE funniest things I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 That was probably my favorite moment of this show, among MANY hilarious moments
@@Andrelones First time I watched it I thought it was Connor making shit up on the spot but when I rewatched the scene and saw that it was Willa writing this whole speech for him and Connor just reading it unfazed it made it so much even funnier
The best part might be that Jeremy Strong apparently worked that entire thing out with the creative team in secret beforehand. None of his castmates knew exactly what he was going to do. All the reactions are ACTUALLY just them in real life trying to process what's happening in front of their eyes right now.
For me it’s when he puts his wine in a blender and drinks it like a smoothie “I hyper-decant. You don’t hyper-decant? You’re just doing regular decanting? It ages your wines five years in ten seconds”
I keep replaying this 😂 also im sure it's been brought up but havent seen anyone mention "have you ever read mein kampf?" "Uhh..yeah, a couple times." "Couple times? What, did you miss some easter eggs the first time?!" kdsndnsksksk
Literally no compilation includes it but for me one of the funniest scenes was when Roman was seeing this waystar spot and it shows Kendall talking about the company and then cuts to Roman for like 2 seconds where he’s not saying anything
I almost died three times within these short eleven minutes and eleven seconds. The part where Kendal looks at Greg and says "who says I haven't killed someone" was beyond creepy and made my skin crawl... yet it was his cheesy grin that put me out of commission. Best Succession comedy montage ever.
I knew Tom was gonna be the best character the moment he bailed on Shiv fighting with Roman, his main priority being not getting noticed. He knew how to handle a situation from the beginning
SPOILER -- Also, now that I see it again, it successfully predicts that he will inherit the company. It's the huge-corporation ethos in a one-second move.
My forever fav: “He just said that to be nice. What I think he meant to say was that he wishes mom gave birth to a can opener, because at least then it would be useful.”
A couple of my favorite Tom/Greg moments that I'd add to this: "Forgive me, but are we talking to each other on the poop deck of a majestic schooner? ls the salty brine stinging my weather-beaten face?" Also, the bit where Greg asks him if he's ever been to California Pizza Kitchen and says they make a Cajun chicken linguine just how he likes it and Tom tells him that's not how he's supposed to like it.
one of my favorite scenes in the whole show is when Greg goes to pick up Ewan and he says "no music, no talking, focus on the road" and it zooms in on the phone showing a 12+hr drive and Greg looking absolutely defeated
From the finale, I really fucking loved Shiv's "MOTHERFUCKER" off screen and then whatever Kendall says after that, and also when she yells to Roman "Hey Rome, guess who Ken thinks it should be - it'll blow your fucking mind!"
Calls to mind Greg's, "Umm, Nazis? Um, yeah, Nazis are the worst!" and "I'm against racism" to which, Tom, "Oh, bullshit, we're all against racism! I'm against racism!" Hahahahahahah!!! Omg, I crack up just thinking of lines and scenes from this show,
when two employees experience hardcore secondhand embarrassment at Tom’s “we hear for you” it’s just such a nice look back into reality, when you realize that those people a clowns and everyone around them sees them as such, except them
"I apologize if my bell summoned you", "It's not like they pre-poop them", "AN ATTACK CHILD", "If it is to be said, so it be. So it is" Greg has all the best lines
Roman "comforting" Kendall at the end of Season Three is peak Succession for me. "Well that tracks... One waiter down. All I'm saying is , Who's the real victim here? I waited forty-five minutes for a gin and tonic." Haha -)
ive been quoting "you're too online" to myself ever since i saw it. like in context it's the douchebaggiest thing ever. but out of context? you know what. maybe i am. thanks kendall.
That scene when Roman is sent to make a deal in the central Asia and all of a sudden they find themselves in a hostage situation, and when the terrorists ask can the foreign nationals identify themselves he is considering stangind up and them looks behind to see laird had already stood up is so funny. I think about that scene often
And the irony, Roman is the one who keeps his cool in an extremely dangerous situation while Karl is having heart palpitations ❤️. I think Logan was actually somewhat impressed with Roman for this and honestly telling him that the money from the Middle East was too good to be true.
6:46 Fun fact: this whole interaction, including, the line "you're widely known as a horrible person," was completely improvised by Nicholas Braun and Kieran Culkin. Greg going after Roman was never in the script
“It’s good because it’s also like…not clear exactly what the hell it means” and “words are just complicated airflow” really illustrate the relationship these people have with the truth, their power, and language.
My favorite line is at Toms bachelor party and he says to Greg “I’m having the time of my life” and Greg replies “this is nightmarish” Everything about it makes me laugh every time
F for Megathump.
You can't make a tomelette without breaking some greggs is the funniest line i've ever heard
The amount of restraint I’ve shown not buying a mug with this written on it…

@@RiseOfTheKumquat67can you explain I zoned out during those episodes
I have a t-shirt with that on it lol😂
“Lester was a man… and when a man dies, it is sad.” That whole eulogy scene killed me 💀
“Lester’s wife is Maria, now she is sad.” My cheeks are hurting and I can’t breath while listening to the whole eulogy
i love how alan ruck actually almost breaks for the take they used
He touched all of us😂😂
I rewatched this scene several times, and every time I laughed like a hyena
“I apologize if my bell summoned you” man I forgot about some of these early season zingers
And it really is his bell now.
same. gotta rewatch when I have the time I guess
Soulsborne games be like:
I love it!!
It’s just the mental barrier
Missed one of the best lines. "Dad wasn't a paedophile he barely hugged his grandkids"
💀💀💀💀💀💀
“If it is be said, so it be.. so it is” - Greg
A master artist of words he is
You may speak normally.
Greg: So I shall 🗿
*Creg :)
If it is to* be said, also, "so it shall"
Literally just a two-letter word but Kendall looking right into camera and saying "yo" always gets me
It's the timing. It's impeccable comic timing.
one of his best line deliveries i'm so serious
Same same!
What a gem. That and the "Little Lord Fuckleroy" live rent free in my head.
It's the only moment I can think of in the entire show where a character looks directly at the camera it feels like a gag from The Office in it's prime
Gerri sending a 👍 to Roman when he says he’s gonna kill himself…she’s so good
I thought it was a middle finger lol
@@waffles87I'm pretty sure it was 🤞, which is actually funnier
I always thought it was a fingers crossed 🤞
Girlboss
i love gerri lmao (not like roman does tho)
when Tom sits down before eating the chicken, that might be the only time in the series that Logan looks legitimately uncomfortable
don't forget the time he received roman's inappropriate photo
The only one to step to logans face ended up king cunt
Taking the chicken meant he could take the crown.
There's the scene where he chases Nan out of the restaurant at the summit.
I totally thought that that was the only time that Logan was truly shaken in the entire series. 😂
Its not like the bags come pre-pooped, its a mental barrier 😅
Pre-pooped bags is a hilarious concept
He is 100 percent correct. A bag is a bag.
The only time Greg made sense
@@alessiocaddeo201 If it is to be said.
It’s a ludicrously capacious bag
one of the funniest moments to me was Roman, after spending the entire time bragging about his rocket lauch, watches the thing go up in flames in silence, no buildup, it just randomly explodes
And Gerri's deadpan, "Let me clarify, it exploded [explosion sound]."
And then just casually slides the phone into his pocket like that will make it all go away.

@@babylonian.captivity I haven’t watched Mad Men in years, I’ll have to go back and look for that scene.
My crush on Gerri started quite literally after she sent that thumbs up to Romans "I'm gonna kms" text
damn mine started after she told ken not to jump
There’s a little bit of Roman in all of us, boys.
Pretty sure it was a fingers crossed emoji!
@@emmie1176 it was a thumbs up 👍
I've never felt empathized with Logan except the moment Tom ate his chicken..... That "What the fuck" sounded so innocently shocked and hurt
The only time Logan truly seemed vulnerable lol
Wait wait... how did I forget the "When a man dies, it is sad" part. I'm dying lol
That is sad.
Lester touched all of us
I forgot about it too 😂
…and this time it is Lester who has done so…
👍
Succession is a comedy, Succession is a tragedy.
Mad Men, Deadwood, Sopranos, Wire, Breaking Bad...all of them are brilliant comedies. The deft tonal shifts and integrations they're all capable of is amazing.
Succession may be the best of them all on that front.
Tragicomedy?
I would had Barry to this list!
Officially it’s a dark comedy
🎭
Fucked up Ken showing up for family therapy is the best version of him in the whole show
he was off his nut
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Drugs made me a better person too.
Fresh from smoking meth and he’s chanting “family therapy!” like it’s a baseball team 😂
Great episode for Kenny and Roman
"Sometimes we're listening quite aggressively...to maximize the user's experience" Greg and Tom will never be unfunny
Tom was so upset about the phrase change 😂
"Listening quite aggressively" is a fucking incredible bit of writing
That Shiv-Roman sibling slap fest was the scene that roped me into watching
And Tom's perfect pivot out the door.
Same here. I love how Tom just nopes out the minute he sees what's happening.
That was so spot on! The fight! Believe me I have 5 siblings!! That’s how we would fight, end up pissed with slap marks all over! Not allowed to cry☹️rolling Around trying to do as much damage as possible but actually don’t do any damage
"an attack child" is my favorite ever
Oh same same I love that.
Same here
“We’ll now you’re denying their feelings dad” … Connor is somehow always the most level headed
one might call him... con-headed
@@EthanButlerwatch out america, for the con-heads are coming!
Connor is so cold. Yet he wants love from that, ahem, playwright. *snort*
"I'm a plant that grows on rocks and subsysts off bugs that die inside him." God I love that Conner being one of the most made fun of characters throughout the series says that quote.
he was interested in politics from a very young age
Connor’s speech at Lester’s funeral has to be one of THE funniest things I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 That was probably my favorite moment of this show, among MANY hilarious moments
It's also amazing to see Willa's writing skills there 🤣
@@Andrelones First time I watched it I thought it was Connor making shit up on the spot but when I rewatched the scene and saw that it was Willa writing this whole speech for him and Connor just reading it unfazed it made it so much even funnier
@@Andrelones I never realized Willa wrote it. jesus f christ
@@Andrelones she did it on purpose
She wrote it cause of the journalist, so she can't twist his words for the media, as he was starting his political career. Actually a smart move ....
Everyone saying Kendall has nothing left now, clearly he's going to launch a successful rap career
I’d buy his album for sure! Not even kidding. Yo
He's going to go on tour with run the jewels
@@davidcadieu9238this comment is fucking amazing lmao
“It’s basically legal, the guy said, but he didn’t want to put that in an email” 😂😂😂
"Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age" timeless
That's good, but I think his best came late in season 1 with: "he buckled under intellectual scrutiny".
Connor saying “Lester touched all of us” cracked me up😂😂😂
5:42 "L to the... - YOU NEED TO STOP THIS" must be my personal favorite, partly thanks to the very obvious attempt not to laugh in the mic right after
The best part might be that Jeremy Strong apparently worked that entire thing out with the creative team in secret beforehand. None of his castmates knew exactly what he was going to do. All the reactions are ACTUALLY just them in real life trying to process what's happening in front of their eyes right now.
god, this is beautiful. “i never touched roman inappropriately” has to be my favourite connor line in the entire series
Really because all I've got here is "Connor Roy was interested in politics from a young age".
For me it’s when he puts his wine in a blender and drinks it like a smoothie “I hyper-decant. You don’t hyper-decant? You’re just doing regular decanting? It ages your wines five years in ten seconds”
I love that WIlla writing the most odd eulogy was the best insight we got into her script writing abilities.
Shit I never thought about it that way
L to the OG might be the most traumatic viewing experience of my life
Jess’ reaction to the rabbit being sick is SO funny
Also my reaction when my rabbit broke into the wheat thins and had to go for a $400 vet visit...
@@RabbitWhispererYTKen probably wipes his rear with $100 bills. $400 is nothing
If he can do people he can do rabbits

“I think your tally is short a few million people”
You can’t make a Tomlette without breaking some Gregs x67 😂
You really do get desensitized to how off the rocker all these people are. Listening back to these clips is a TRIP.
Literally no compilation includes it but for me one of the funniest scenes was when Roman was seeing this waystar spot and it shows Kendall talking about the company and then cuts to Roman for like 2 seconds where he’s not saying anything
I’m planning to make a short with the suggestions I’m getting once I have enough, so I got you!
@@RabbitWhispererYTI got you”? Dont you mean “im hear for you”?
Actually it’s “we hear for you!”
LMAOO I forgot about that but thats probably one of the times i've laughed the hardest
"My best to her cancer" and "Ah Mr. Fuckhead I presume" are still my favourites
"I apologize if my bell summoned you" will never not be hilarious
The scene where Roman washes his hands after fucking up the rocket launch. Gotta be the funniest thing ever!
I meant to include this one!!! It was too good
Literally washing his hands of the whole thing lmao
Especially since his name is Roman. Like Pontius Pilate. If this was intentional it's genius writing.
Every time I go to family functions, I’m screaming “FAMILY THERAPY! 👏🏾! 👏🏾! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!” through the window
Tom, unhinged, telling Greg about swallowing his own load is another incredible scene. I laughed so hard.
It’s a closed system
@@satoru7601😂😂😂
Stewy was so real for telling Kendal he couldn’t trust him
Shiv's laugh after "I'm the eldest boy" is perfect
“You’re not!”
The journalist's fucking face when Connor was delivering the eulogy has me cackling
The tomelette quote made my 24 years of life worth being lived. And gregg's affermative answers are a close second. Bless this series
“Thank you for the chicken” is even better without context
Logan’s complete indifference to Ken’s rap makes it so much funnier
he wasn't indifferent, he was MAD
Tom saying “Oh my god.. the man dying of thirst is suddenly a mineral water critic?” to Gregg has to be one of the best burns in the show
“My best to her cancer” is probably the most underrated Logan Roy insult in the entire fucking series, and lobbed so casually.
I dont even remember Gerri's thumbs up emoji lmfaoooo
I think it was this 🤞
I bust out loud laughing when Kendall says, " I just wanted to get the gang together early in my tenure to say...ah...Yo." Oh so serious. 🤣
I almost died three times within these short eleven minutes and eleven seconds. The part where Kendal looks at Greg and says "who says I haven't killed someone" was beyond creepy and made my skin crawl... yet it was his cheesy grin that put me out of commission. Best Succession comedy montage ever.
fuck you & god bless ❤️
Juice is loose, baby!
When I read your comment I had completely forgotten that Kendal had actually killed someone 😂
I knew Tom was gonna be the best character the moment he bailed on Shiv fighting with Roman, his main priority being not getting noticed. He knew how to handle a situation from the beginning
SPOILER -- Also, now that I see it again, it successfully predicts that he will inherit the company. It's the huge-corporation ethos in a one-second move.
"you're widely known as... a horrible person" fucking kills me everytime
"Lester touched all of us" 💀😭
Tom walking away seeing shiv have Roman in a headlock is so fucking funny
Maybe my all time favorite: "'Control the narrative!' You probably scream that when you come--'Control the narrative! Oh! Oh! Control it! Control it!"
“My body is growing weak from lack of sustenance” 😂
My forever fav: “He just said that to be nice. What I think he meant to say was that he wishes mom gave birth to a can opener, because at least then it would be useful.”
“Lester was a man” 🤣🤣
I can’t 🤣
"My boy Squiggle cooked up this beat for me" will forever live rent free in my head. #LtotheOG
As a Conhead, I’m disappointed to find that so many great Connorisms were left off this compilation
A couple of my favorite Tom/Greg moments that I'd add to this: "Forgive me, but are we talking to each other on the poop deck of a majestic schooner? ls the salty brine stinging my weather-beaten face?" Also, the bit where Greg asks him if he's ever been to California Pizza Kitchen and says they make a Cajun chicken linguine just how he likes it and Tom tells him that's not how he's supposed to like it.
“I apologise if my bell summon you” is just insane ma’
And brilliant that is the item Greig claims at the apartment after Logan dies
one of my favorite scenes in the whole show is when Greg goes to pick up Ewan and he says "no music, no talking, focus on the road" and it zooms in on the phone showing a 12+hr drive and Greg looking absolutely defeated
When Greg was secretly recording Tom and saying "The evidence does not wish to be destroyed"
“My man squiggle cooked up this beat” 😂
0:47 The way Greg almost tries to hide when the maid comes in is priceless
This show is top 5 TV shows of all time for me. It's that excellent.
"A person can definitely fit through that window, a small person, an attack child." - Greg
When someone quotes one of these I will be like "If it is to be said, so it be."
So it is
Con may not be the most omnipresent in the series, but his funeral speech is truly unforgettable
Don’t let these distract you from the fact that Connor was interested in politics from a young age
"In this case, it is Lester who has done so." Hahahhahahahaahha!!
Love the reactions of people behind Greg with we are here for you. Tbf the reaction of background folks are always great
From the finale, I really fucking loved Shiv's "MOTHERFUCKER" off screen and then whatever Kendall says after that, and also when she yells to Roman "Hey Rome, guess who Ken thinks it should be - it'll blow your fucking mind!"
Greg is peak comedy!!🤣
If it is to be said, let it be so
Little Lord Fuckleroy gets me everytime 😂
I never noticed the people laughing behind Greg when Tom presents the “we hear for you” slogan
yeah this show is gonna have a lasting effect on my vocabulary. also my fave that's not in here: "uh. race relations. kale."
omg, yes!
hahahahahahahahahah!!!!!
Calls to mind Greg's, "Umm, Nazis? Um, yeah, Nazis are the worst!"
and "I'm against racism" to which, Tom, "Oh, bullshit, we're all against racism! I'm against racism!" Hahahahahahah!!!
Omg, I crack up just thinking of lines and scenes from this show,
when two employees experience hardcore secondhand embarrassment at Tom’s “we hear for you” it’s just such a nice look back into reality, when you realize that those people a clowns and everyone around them sees them as such, except them
"I apologize if my bell summoned you", "It's not like they pre-poop them", "AN ATTACK CHILD", "If it is to be said, so it be. So it is"
Greg has all the best lines
Greg's face when Tom literally explodes his office is the MOST funny scene ever
When shiv’s part of the board meeting gets shut off the moment she talks about waystar caring about women 😭😭 i nearly sobbed crying
Exact same
Roman "comforting" Kendall at the end of Season Three is peak Succession for me. "Well that tracks... One waiter down. All I'm saying is , Who's the real victim here? I waited forty-five minutes for a gin and tonic." Haha -)
ive been quoting "you're too online" to myself ever since i saw it. like in context it's the douchebaggiest thing ever. but out of context? you know what. maybe i am. thanks kendall.
Also, basically every scene with Stewie is hilarious. But how could leave out
"We don't even know it was piss"
"It was piss"
Connors eulogy for Lester was so goddamn funny. 😂😂😂😂
Idk why but Logan's "I'm doing therapy" line was so funny to me.
That scene when Roman is sent to make a deal in the central Asia and all of a sudden they find themselves in a hostage situation, and when the terrorists ask can the foreign nationals identify themselves he is considering stangind up and them looks behind to see laird had already stood up is so funny. I think about that scene often
😂 hilarious. Karl was mid panic attack that whole scenario 😂😂😂
That whole scene was hilarious 😂 just watched it
Roman calmly observing "Someone just tried to leave. A man with a gun stopped him. That's never a good sign"
And the irony, Roman is the one who keeps his cool in an extremely dangerous situation while Karl is having heart palpitations ❤️. I think Logan was actually somewhat impressed with Roman for this and honestly telling him that the money from the Middle East was too good to be true.
I feel like Roman's "dance of the Sugar Plum Failure" line referring to Shiv's dancing never got enough recognition.
6:46 Fun fact: this whole interaction, including, the line "you're widely known as a horrible person," was completely improvised by Nicholas Braun and Kieran Culkin. Greg going after Roman was never in the script
"You can't be CEO, you killed someone."
"We...we're rich"
"Aloha and my best to her cancer" 🙈🙈
That would have been hilarious, but he said Ilona, the name of a shareholder
7:17 "wtf 🥺" man Logan is cute😂
Even though this show finished a few months ago, it’s become very nostalgic to me
“It’s good because it’s also like…not clear exactly what the hell it means” and “words are just complicated airflow” really illustrate the relationship these people have with the truth, their power, and language.
“It’s not that lemony! It’s just a hint of lemon”
It’s not like they pre-poop them. He’s right.
My favorite line is at Toms bachelor party and he says to Greg “I’m having the time of my life” and Greg replies “this is nightmarish”
Everything about it makes me laugh every time
You just reminded me this is my favorite line in the show 😂
Kendal slightly giggles after he puts the mic to Roman during his rap...just little details like that make this show.
