The insults and one-liners on “Veep” come fast and furious, with every episode of HBO’s political satire packed with some of the funniest and most creative put-downs on television. No character is ever spared, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘ titular lead.

Hale told TheWrap that a line comparing Jonah to “the Washington monument, if the Washington monument was made entirely of dead dicks” was among his favorites.
