This is seriously some of the finest acting I've ever seen. I know she received tremendous critical praise for her role, but I hope people truly realize the magnitude of her performance as Selina Meyer. This scene in particular is just masterful, staggering acting.
These are probably my most favorite scenes in this whole show. It really drove us to see how much Selina wants the presidency and Tom’s “what ARE you???” And her unmoved expression is fucking amazing.
I loved the finale so much. They really saved her most Selina moments for last. I mean after all the shenanigans they went through in seven seasons it is just so impressive that the writers knew how to still one up her narcissism and manipulation tactics and show us this pure 24 karat of demon gold version of her.
It isn’t the betrayal that bothers him, he knows that’s how the game is played. It’s the fact that she has forever destroyed his life for something he didn’t do. It’s made very clear that it was a consensual affair between him and his chief of staff. Selina convinced her to tell the nation that it was sexual harassment.
Except that she didn't ''betray'' him, she set him up and turned affair (which is bad thing morally but not a crime legally) into sex scandal/abuse/harassment story. She didn't care about his employee nor did she care about the truth. He was a jerk and pos and cheater and sexist and all that - but was he sexual predator as she purpoted?
@@isaachurtado5030 I mean, she was feckless and incompetent and narcissistic in the early seasons, but I didn't think she was EVIL. In Season 7, though, she really turned it up to 11. lol
Julia is where raw acting talent emerges from. She doesn't just exemplify great acting, she's talent personified. The sheer versatility she displayed in the opening season is mind-boggling.
Too true! I just finished binging the series today. No doubt Selina's a monster but Tom definitely had this coming. Watching her salt the wound with a smile is stone cold but satisfying. Hugh Laurie really sold the indignation though, you can almost forget how 2 faced his character is and feel for him.
I actually really enjoyed this twist and darker side to her (which had always been there but was finally unleashed by her greed for power). Firstly this scene really showed the amazing quality of the script and acting. But also Tom James was a POS and Selina was never taken seriously by him and was continuously used or played by him so he could get ahead. He had no respect for her achievements or status as president. I loved seeing him get completely shafted by her. He deserved it. He even tries to use his ‘pregnant wife...’ to play a sympathy card and limit his reputational damage. Boo fucking hoo. If he’d had any respect for her he’d never have done it. Selina’s cackle as he’s leaving is complete gold.
@southerncajuncharm Both of these comments are sort of the entire point of the show right? she's desperate for the presidency to the point of selling out anything and anyone. and in the end she gets it, but it all proves utterly futile, because there was nothing deeper than the surface pursuit of power. And obviously tom james is the same, he just wasnt prepared for how much more desperate she was for the title than he was. Also, it was comedy gold, but is a former presidents death getting usurped by a celebrity that meaningful? Hell, most people dont know that mother teresa died on the same day as princess diana. celebrity is a fickle thing
@southerncajuncharm Actually Tom Hanks died after the funnel is over. We all know how it works, We do not bury dead President immediately, their coffin will place in Capitol Hill for some days, and then the ceremony in capital hill, then go to the final resting place. When the funeral is over, the news circle normally end. Unless she died exactly same day as Tom Hanks, then it may be a problem. And it may be a good thing for her also, If she is a failed President without anything to show off, end the news circle earlier will make sure people feel sorry her but not think of bad things she did.
You mean the free psychic reading for your pet? Yeah that spun me out as well... my box set of Veep doesn't have that bit in this episode though, which is weird.
He might have been a pos and a jerk, but did he deserve to be outed for something he's likely not? Cheating around is wrong but it's not criminal offense, nor it automatically means he coersed or manipulated his employee into this.
Those last eps I think showed her desperation to now lose again. Like she was def evil and not giving a shit what it took in these last eps especially after Ben had his heart attack
During Election Night and the Congressional Vote for president, she gets within a hair’s length of being elected president in her own right, but forces in and out of her control deny her with what she wants. The convention episodes marked a turning point for her and its fucking AWESOME. There was no humiliating catastrophe waiting for her at the finish line this time but she made sure there was at least one for Tom James. Fucking COLD.
I mean she humiliated herself even worse than anyone else. In her last ditch effort to get the presidency she sold out literally everyone who ever was on her team. This episode is the turning point when massive narcissim finally turned into full on psychopathy. "What are you?" is an appropriate question to direct at the absolute demon she has become.
What's crazy here is... Tom is acting like a victim of Selina's game of chess. But we also realize that he's being accused of workplace sexual harassment-- a horrible thing in itself. It's brilliant that the ethical dilemmas in this season get this dark.
“The gash of least resistance” is one of the most intense things I’ve ever heard come out of a woman’s mouth lol My friends and I tell every manner of offensive, hideous, “cancellable” joke…but I’ve never heard one of them plumb those depths quite as effectively…
How is her convincing his press secretary of holding him accountable for his actions evil? If she'd orchestrated for him to have an affair or lied about it then she would be evil but Tom James kind of brought this onto himself.
I'm glad someone else saw the truth of it all. Men in power think they hold the cards; all Selena did was keep it real with his secretary 🤷🏾♀️ . The secretary did the rest.
Just think, if Selina had just accepted Tom brushing her off about the night of the green shoes in S4E5 and let it die, none of this would've ever happened.
Can you upload the scene between Selina, Amy and Kent when Amy and Kent are begging Selina to not ask Jonah to be her Veep? Julia was brilliant in that scene.
He was running for the presidential nomination ticket against Selina and she butchered his chances after he’d tried to sabotage her campaign numerous times. They’d also had an on-off affair over many years which he’d spilled in a book deal (and he’d always played on her attraction to him to gain some sort of political advantage). It was basically him being held accountable for the first time in his life by someone he thought he could manipulate, so as a privileged career politician, he lost it that his shitty behaviour finally came home to roost when he was in touching distance of the nomination.
This show is seriously funny because of how realistic it is. In a seriousness, you gotta admit how fucked up this world when a woman can simply lie and say she was taken advantage of and ruin a man’s career just like that.
This one didn't lie though. He was her boss and took advantage. And stats show that over 90% of the time people who make these claims are telling the truth.
Gary seemed so proud of Selina here .. little did the poor guy knows he's next
He always hated Tom, so it was also satisfaction in seeing his downfall
she sold her soul giving him up
Gotta admit the psychic reading ad at the end really caught me off guard
Same😂😂😂😂
I’m already a clairvoyant when it comes to my Lilly bean. Because there is nothing in her head at all.
That's one hell of a way to advertise. Didn't see it coming, I wonder if this pet psychic does humans too.
"Let's frack the crap out of it." Such a simple, but smart line.
This is seriously some of the finest acting I've ever seen. I know she received tremendous critical praise for her role, but I hope people truly realize the magnitude of her performance as Selina Meyer. This scene in particular is just masterful, staggering acting.
Even the way Julia adjusts her tone of voice into a deep rasp is genius.
“while he drowns your little mermaid back tat in a pool of jizz and admires his own reflection” jesus.

Good to see Kim Wexler is doing well after Saul's arrest
Love how James betrays her like five times and is always like “oh, well”, but she betrays him once and he freaking loses it 😆😆😆
It isn’t the betrayal that bothers him, he knows that’s how the game is played.
It’s the fact that she has forever destroyed his life for something he didn’t do.

I'm ngl this scene was satisfying af. but when she gave Gary up - god, that was heartbreaking.
She really turned evil the last 3-4 episodes.
She always was evil.
All of us would be lol

THE GASH OF LEAST RESISTANCE
Julia is where raw acting talent emerges from. She doesn't just exemplify great acting, she's talent personified. The sheer versatility she displayed in the opening season is mind-boggling.
...not just in the opening
Tom James picked a fight with an opponent he was not prepared for……..
Too true! I just finished binging the series today. No doubt Selina's a monster but Tom definitely had this coming. Watching her salt the wound with a smile is stone cold but satisfying. Hugh Laurie really sold the indignation though, you can almost forget how 2 faced his character is and feel for him.
His american accent is so goood
Is nobody gonna talk about the fucking psychic pet reading shit at the end 😂😂
Best ending for Kim Wexler.
That “toodle-o” was PERFECT.
This is top tier comedy and insults. Even the insults are so well crafted that could be art.

Gary's expression was everything
That's why he deserves to be sold out by the person he put on a pedestal
@@zaztayyib1260 No, he still doesn't, come on. He was wrong here, yet it wasn't him who set James up, nor he embezzled funds from her foundation.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 absolutely. Loyalty can be blinding
That's the gradual shift to darkness we wanted in GoT, HBO. Not a single ham fisted scene on a CGI dragon. Take notes !
Psychic readings for pets is an insane concept. But it was a funny ending to the video to be fair.
Selina always had a dark side
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a tour de force this entire series but you have to admire Hugh Laurie's accent work. Impeccable
Tom James really deserved this, however poor Gary was a victim of Selena's destructive ambition
I love when she is like ‘excuse me…’ like Tom’s interruption is nothing
Those last eps I think showed her desperation to now lose again. Like she was def evil and not giving a shit what it took in these last eps especially after Ben had his heart attack
Tom James is so screwed there’s also a television behind him 😂He can’t avoid watching her statement no matter which way he turns.
watching this back to back along with GOT is amazing, Selena is like a Comedy version of Danaerys. they both strike to be the top of power.
Been looking for this scene for ages! Thanks for uploading, underrated channel
1:55 "HE DID WHAT!?" 🤣🤣☠️☠️
"They need to be protected. For drilling purposes" lmfaoooo
Really turns my hydrant on
This is my favourite scene in the entire series. Harrowing and brutal.

The look on her face when Tom barges innn 😭😭
KIM WEXLER
Selina was screwed so much by these people at the end that she did not care anymore😂
“The gash of least resistance” is one of the most intense things I’ve ever heard come out of a woman’s mouth lol
My friends and I tell every manner of offensive, hideous, “cancellable” joke…but I’ve never heard one of them plumb those depths quite as effectively…
kim wexler went from tom james to Saul Goodman
We're not acknowledging the pet psych at the end huh, mmmmkay.
I searched for this scene. This scene is my favorite scene in the entire show
Sorry, hold on✋.. that took me a second to get my head around hearing Bertie Wooster say the C word......Hugh!!😳😳😳🙉 😉😂
Shakes head in Wodehouse
I guess she didn't find him sponge worthy.
Nice play, Giselle. Viktor sends his regards.
LOL
Miss Saint-Claire gets them everytime.
this is what tom deserved. how DARE HE try to steal the presidency from selina.
They’re both trashy ppl. But obviously, as a viewer, we’re somewhat rooting for Selina.
Trashy? selina was so honest with others.
Tom was just mad cause he got bested. He was just as conniving as Selena
this is so awesome
and then the pet psychic reading at the end is lololol
I was pleasantly surprised to see Hugh Laurie and Rhea Seehorn in this show.
How is her convincing his press secretary of holding him accountable for his actions evil? If she'd orchestrated for him to have an affair or lied about it then she would be evil but Tom James kind of brought this onto himself.
Well she kinda scared the chief of staff into saying that by insisting that Tom James would replace her with another vagina
@@iandariff641 I mean that’s just the truth, isn’t it?
Two wrongs don't make a right. She manipulated the situation to benefit her - while pretending she cared about his staffer.
@@TheFlair4thedramatic it is tho

One of the best scenes!
Tom James had it coming.
“So great”
Dr House, Kim Wexler, Elaine Benes, and Buster Bluth all in one show
I loved her in this show
At this point, I was scared that Tom James was going to hit Selina
So emotional right this is why we need a Woman in office
Lmao dude I couldn’t even think of some of the things she says
Selina was savage there fuckin awesome
wtf is that at the end?
That was a 3rd degree burn😢
Dr House would have done the same
I'll vote for a politician who able to come out with such incredible insult. lol, Even Gary is impress!
Didn't people already do that with Boris Johnson?
Just think, if Selina had just accepted Tom brushing her off about the night of the green shoes in S4E5 and let it die, none of this would've ever happened.
WHat I see is Buster and His brother's supposed blind lover DA and Kim Wexler
Man I have no recollection of Rhea Seehorn on this show
Selina Meyer, Kim Wexler and Dr. House in the same scene!
Just found out that, that Seinfeld chic, Julia Louie Dreyfuss is a Transformer.
Kim Wexler really moved up in the world.
Can you upload the scene between Selina, Amy and Kent when Amy and Kent are begging Selina to not ask Jonah to be her Veep? Julia was brilliant in that scene.

@@PallasAthene12 5 th episode I think
