I love how he almost instantly goes from screaming abuse at Jonah's fiance to politely escorting her to her car immediately after she dumps Jonah. He's just that happy about Jonah's misfortune.
“You’re as annoying as a condom full of fire ants” is my personal favorite and it lives rent-free in my head until the day I find a way to use it. My crotch hurts every time I think about that line 😂😂😂
Richard is my favorite side character (happy he got the best ending) but Uncle Jeff is probably second. The way he grabs the secret service agent while he's laughing in the cemetery gets me every time.
I loved Jonah’s wife Beth too! The way she just says “hi!” after furlong’s brutal insult kills me each time. Wish she had another season of screen time
Uncle Jeff stole every scene he was in. Watched this dozens of times, howl with laughter every time. His laugh, his facial expressions, everything works so well.
Ohh man! So many sharp lines delivered to perfection. This is one of the reasons VEEP is absolutely top shelf television - every character is so well developed.. I have to say though Uncle Jeff and Congressman Furlong are my 2 guilty pleasures amongst what is a stellar cast.
Most of the insults hurled were improvised by the cast. They used to have contests as to who could get the most creative. Then after the take they would bust out laughing.
Quite possibly the only character in this show with the most vicious form of schadenfreude I have ever seen. He is THE most bold faced misanthrope to ever appear on screen.
Uncle Jeff is a demon... The devil sent him from hell to prop up more monsters in the halls of government... And he did it all with cheeky insults and an infectious laugh... Diabolical! Lol
Damn I love Veep and he was one of my favorite characters. I wish there was an interaction with Uncle Jeff and Roger Furlong going at each other with vicious insults for 5 minutes. Would have been television history
The hospital scene made me immediately dive into this series Holy mother of God I loose it everytime seeing this scene 😂😂 this and the Thanksgiving dinner scene from who made the potatoe salad ? Make me loose it every time never gets tired
I love uncle Jeff so much, sometimes I wish I had one like him to put me straight :) :) :) plus "I will give them 5 minutes and then hit them with bad cop :) :) :) )
Holy shit there's so much of his portrayal of the Batman villain The Mad Hatter in his role as Uncle Jeff in this show. Except Mad Hatter is pitiful and oddly sympathetic, while Uncle Jeff is just racist and evil.
That actor,Peter MacNicol, plays the best horrible douchebag! And he played a slithering creep extraordinaire in Ghostbuster II, Dr. Janosz Poha. Good work, Mr. MacNicol!
I think because he is a pretty arrogant imbecile whose only merits in politics were that his family was well connected. Notably, Uncle Jeff provided him with most of his influence. Jonah is the only family member with big political aspirations, so uncle Jeff is completely disgusted.
Two reasons: 1.) everyone on this show is unimaginably rude 2.) he’s been dealing with Jonah (the rudest, most repulsive character) for 30 plus years 🤷♂️
I never saw or heard of this series before, but i do not like the camera work. It moves around too much like the cinema photographer was drunk or on drugs.
you're missing out horribly. this show won a fuck ton of awards and is such a deliciously brutal satire on American politics I've rewatched it 3-4 times for the insults alone
“For shitting the urinal so bad you made the Hindenburg look like a normal, on-time blimp landing” is beyond epic comedic writing.
It’s nuts how much the ‘on time’ takes it from an ok joke to absolute genius.
I love how Uncle Jeff doesn't use any profanity while still absolutely tearing Jonah a new one in the elementary school.
1:03 -- my favorite part.
But in a way you can almost tell what he wanted to say!! Great writing
He would make an excellent Rudy Guiliani.
Lol yeah but with credibility
rudy isn't from nh
He does look like him kinda sounds like him
I'm pretty certain he is Rudy and Selena is Hillary
@@lowkeylokii4205 no. hillary would not oppose gay marriage in the given time period.
I love how he almost instantly goes from screaming abuse at Jonah's fiance to politely escorting her to her car immediately after she dumps Jonah. He's just that happy about Jonah's misfortune.
"I thought you told my mother to sell me to a child molester and use the money to have her tubes tied."
Most brutal insult every.
EH we're family!
Man, Richard’s right. His laughter really is infectious.
He must be part Hyena.
but the fact that he chose to use that term at the funeral of a guy who died from a contagious disease seems to go over some viewers' heads
I still can’t believe they never had a scene with Uncle Jeff and Roger Furling together.
Omg. Could you imagine? 😂
It’s a crime that there wasn’t
It would've been too much for us to handle, like gazing upon a Lovecraftian god
It’s the death of a star. We aren’t ready yet
Oh my god.. that would've been an all-timer..
"Sentient enema" is a god level insult.
epileptic Picasso painting wins best insult of all time
“You’re as annoying as a condom full of fire ants” is my personal favorite and it lives rent-free in my head until the day I find a way to use it. My crotch hurts every time I think about that line 😂😂😂
“No…wishes belong at the bottom of a well with unwanted girl children…”
This man is quite possibly the funniest fictional character, up there with Walter from Lebowski. His "shut the fuck up"s are legendary.
"People are going to be so grateful I'm going to look like a disability check wrapped around unfiltered cigarettes." **SPITS OUT DRINK**
Uncle Jeff needs his own show. Period.
Richard is my favorite side character (happy he got the best ending) but Uncle Jeff is probably second. The way he grabs the secret service agent while he's laughing in the cemetery gets me every time.
I loved Jonah’s wife Beth too! The way she just says “hi!” after furlong’s brutal insult kills me each time. Wish she had another season of screen time
Mine is always Rodger furlong then Jeff 😂
Richard and Catherine got the best ending
I'M SO GLAD I CAME IN PERSON AND DIDN'T CALL!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uncle Jeff stole every scene he was in. Watched this dozens of times, howl with laughter every time. His laugh, his facial expressions, everything works so well.
HBO has to get his own show "the uncle Jeff show" that be so wonderful
No one in the whole world can say STFU like Uncle Jeff
Ohh man! So many sharp lines delivered to perfection. This is one of the reasons VEEP is absolutely top shelf television - every character is so well developed..

Jeff Cane is like, a comedic
character written by HP Lovecraft.
Sometimes Jeff Kanes rage can be so extreme at times
Just a touch
"I always had you pegged as an AIDS guy." Absolute Gold!!!
Uncle Jeff is a demon... The devil sent him from hell to prop up more monsters in the halls of government... And he did it all with cheeky insults and an infectious laugh... Diabolical! Lol
The range of this actor is amazing.
From John Cage on ally mcbeal to uncle Jeff 😂
And Janosz from Ghostbusters 2.
Quite the trifecta.😂
1:43 he’s trying so hard not to laugh
"He puts the 'Jew' in 'Why people hate Jews'"
Idk if you even think to write that
I just keep going to around 3:00 to enjoy the beauty of Peter MacNicol's laugh.
This is a masterpiece.. I'm so glad he came in person and didn't called..
The Jewish word that he can't remember had me on the floor!!
“I’ll give em five mins then hit em with bad cop..”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun fact - Peter MacNicol voiced Doctor Octopus on the Spectacular Spider-Man show. Imagine Doctor Octopus yelling these lines…
I did not know this! Kinda cool. He was also the voice of the Mad Hatter in the Arkham games.
There needed to be more Uncle Jeff in the show. He should have been apart of the main cast.
Uncle Jeff is the OG.
Came at a perfect time, I just finished Veep
I’m just bout to start
Omg he came to my restaurant and he’s my very first celebrity encounter, I couldn’t have had a better one and he couldn’t be nicer
2:30 "Creature from the jizz lagoon" definitely using that shit..lmao
Peter Macnicol has the Greatest Joker laugh in human history
That is one hell of a good cop at the end
Brilliant Writing, Amazing Cast!
Uncle Jeff was my favorite character. Among a cast of horrible, nasty, cruel characters he was the cruelest. He could go so cruel and so quickly.
He has the greatest laugh ever.
Schadenfreude personified
It’s the laugh. The best laugh on screen 🫣🫢😂
How much fun must Peter MacNicol be having doing multiple takes of these lines?
Uncle Jeff is a goddamn legend.
5:03 - This line is *GOLD* ! 😂🤣
Love him smacking the casket
I also pegged that as the best one
The hospital scene is some of the best comedic acting of all time !!!
His laugh!!!! Man I miss this show!
Damn I love Veep and he was one of my favorite characters. I wish there was an interaction with Uncle Jeff and Roger Furlong going at each other with vicious insults for 5 minutes. Would have been television history
FORTY PIECE SET OF DANISH CUTLERY
Spoiler alert
Lol! - "... human pool skimmer used to clean the spunk after a Provincetown gay hot tub party"
"You pileptic picasso paintings!" oh man that right there is an insult! XD
“I can’t breathe” 🤣🤣🤣
he looked genuinely concerned 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:48 I was...not expecting a man to be capable of producing sounds like that
0:26 When he gets angry that always gets me 🤣
"HEY! This is an elementary school…" 😂🤣🤣
One of the funniest scenes and grossest boasts ever.
The hospital scene made me immediately dive into this series Holy mother of God I loose it everytime seeing this scene 😂😂 this and the Thanksgiving dinner scene from who made the potatoe salad ? Make me loose it every time never gets tired
Most vicious man ever
This guy and Malcolm Tucker. OMG.
I have to watch this show. The writing is insane.
The people of New Hampshire are gonna be so grateful to me, I’m gonna be a disability check wrapped around a pack of no filter cigarettes
The writing is so fucking good! Armando Lannucci is a genius hahaha
This guy would be a great Mad Hatter :)
I love uncle Jeff so much, sometimes I wish I had one like him to put me straight :) :) :) plus "I will give them 5 minutes and then hit them with bad cop :) :) :) )
Holy shit there's so much of his portrayal of the Batman villain The Mad Hatter in his role as Uncle Jeff in this show.

Is he really racist? I actually didn't notice lol
Beautiful stuff!
"I'll give him 5 minutes and hit him with the "bad" guy....lol
I hate that we never got to see cousin Ezra
Peter MacNicol playing both Larry Fleinhardt and Uncle Jeff is range on a superhero level.
He has the best laugh
Jeff Kane has a extremely short temper
Peter never disappoints …..
The school scene is pure gold!
My favourite laugh ever
“Who puts the jew in why people hate Jews” that’s so wrong🤣🤣🤣
He's like a ray of sunshine !
peter macnicol is a treasure
Jeff Kane, "Does Blondie (Amy) choke for coke?" Dan, "You should ask her!" Gosh, I wish that scene was shown! haha
Can you imagine. Jeff Kane & Logan Roy in the same room. They would make The Devil weep🤣🤣🤣🤣
fucking hilarious. I love his sudden creulty xD
This show ended far too soon
Richard 💗🙌🏻
That actor,Peter MacNicol, plays the best horrible douchebag! And he played a slithering creep extraordinaire in Ghostbuster II, Dr. Janosz Poha. Good work, Mr. MacNicol!
5:24 is the funniest joke in this, next to all the "stfu!s"
How bad can Jeff Kanes rage be real extreme or very extreme
They got some great coke!
❤ was Jeff Kane strict or uptight on veep
I haven't seen this before
This guy is brutal
Sentient enema? Lol
How mean can Jeff Kane be real or extremely
3:10- 3:45 kills me
Was there a main reason Uncle Jeff was always so rude to Jonah Ryan just asking
I think because he is a pretty arrogant imbecile whose only merits in politics were that his family was well connected. Notably, Uncle Jeff provided him with most of his influence. Jonah is the only family member with big political aspirations, so uncle Jeff is completely disgusted.
Two reasons: 1.) everyone on this show is unimaginably rude 2.) he’s been dealing with Jonah (the rudest, most repulsive character) for 30 plus years 🤷♂️
Its jonah
@@liavhanegbi2729 Jon H Ryan
@@liavhanegbi2729😂😂😂😂😂 That ties in with the second reason
Was Jeff Kane strict or uptight
How Rude can Jeff Kane be real or extremely
🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠
What does Uncle Jeff say to Amy at the funeral - "Here is my hotel room key..." and then?
“If you got a dick I’ll pay double” lmao
He laughs like a hyena.
Uncle jeff may be worse Sen. furlong
I love this documentary on Kamala Harris.
he's the wrong shape
I never saw or heard of this series before, but i do not like the camera work. It moves around too much like the cinema photographer was drunk or on drugs.
you're missing out horribly. this show won a fuck ton of awards and is such a deliciously brutal satire on American politics I've rewatched it 3-4 times for the insults alone
Weirdest criticism I’ve heard about a show lmaoo. You’re missing out big time grandpa
