the other 18% are those that just want to watch other's suffer or they don't believe in potholes

@@elizabethk605 If 2020 is anything to go by, they probably think it's a liberal hoax.

If I remember correctly it was a study showing that 82% of people would prefer for the federal budget to be used for smaller things as opposed to big projects. (ie) fixing potholes not building bridges or something

Probably has to die with using PUBLIC FUNDING to fix them. I wouldn’t be surprised if 18% of the country believed people should pay to fix the potholes out of their own pocket.

@@Rushinator1 I, for one, am very much opposed to dying using public funding.

cshubs wait it’s a real thing

@@alperenbulbul6367 It is indeed!

This is how product placements are done right.

@@joemckim1183 And they have saved many a Thanksgiving. Bless them.

Didn't know it was real till I looked it up. And it's still here! It has truly stood the test of time.

That's the mark of a problem solver

that's how bros work.. they don't ask, they just wing it out magnificently

It’s the rule of in the room if one of your people starts something crazy they back them up

I feel like his instincts went "ah, shenanigans afoot"

Reminds me of Sayid in Lost 2x3 Told he has to fix a computer in 40 mins, doesn’t ask about the hatch or anything. Just solves his problem as fast as possible for his bros, knowing there must be a good reason.

But the zip code he gave isn't Fargo, it's not even a real zip code!

Jim Dandy lôo

Oh you’re no fun.

Jim Dandy ...it is an Emmy winning show you jackass

One of my favorite episodes.

Have you seen Betty White with the census taker? Brilliant ad lib on a name

"I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker." One of my favorite lines from that President.

I suspect the second line was an inside joke from Aaron Sorkin regarding Martin Sheen's notorious trouble remembering people's names. He's more of a face guy.

Actually, he did resist. He just forgot that he wasn't supposed to be the President of the United States in that split moment.

It's the idea that the King of Auto Sales of Fargo, ND has a personal sous chef that gets me!

@tobyparadis9364 The man can sell a car like anything!

how do you do fellow human

@@NeoAnguiano Hello, I too am very human. How has it gone for you recently fellow human?

And how can I help you Mr Citizen? Or May I call you Ima?

That wave he does to stop Jed from continuing his sous-chef story is my favourite touch. Toby was always the President's biggest fan. It's why he argued with him so much when he thought he was wrong. If Leo is Jed's big brother, Toby is his little one.

He did eventually, I would say right when he asked Charlie to quickly get the zip code, because as the President said in the beginning, Toby was the one that told him about the possible danger of undercooking the stuffing.

I heard "Barnhardt"

Toby had that amused smile on his face. he was trying not to laugh out loud.

I gotta get better with the names.

I would be. He's the one person who could poison the president and get away with it.

Dude, chefs be crazy.

@@ninjadarthjuju117 he could certainly poison him…. Getting away with it doesn’t sound likely. I think you meant, he could poison him successfully.

'MERICA.

I love my country.

She didnt identify him. Nice try...

@@brianpugh6707 "Would have been" Reading comprehension.

I hear you, but that's part of what I loved so much about this show - the things they left unsaid. All these juicy moments that they could have utilized but decided not to because it probably would have effectively cheapened the moment and weakened the story. To each their own of course :)

Trust me. She probably wouldn’t. I work at a call centre. A coworker who’s since retired had previously worked at a phone company and spent a half hour helping a guy named Kurt set up his new phone. She was so good at it he called back and talked to her supervisors to compliment her. After the supervisor call, the supervisor came over and said, “Do you know who that was?” My coworker shook her head. All the calls were pretty much the same to her. “You just spent a half hour talking to Kurt Russell, the actor.”

That actually happened to President Kennedy once! Kennedy of course preferred to downplay his Catholicism while in office, to calm down voters who feared he would be taking his orders from the Pope in Rome. The one time he tried to go to confession while in office, the priest recognized his voice, and Kennedy never went to a confessional again.

Hahahahahahaha!

Or those damn imposters over on Pruder Ave.

...and how on Earth is Bethersonton spelled with ONE T. LOL

I used it this year !!

@@joelheller8822Did the Butterball expert play along or what?

or a computer

@@jmnemonic99 Computers are for miscellaneous factoids; Toby can read a situation and solve a problem for you in a timely manner before you can even ask him to. Also, that somehow thumbs up exchange with Charlie. This whole scene is so wholesome

Or just a cell phone now :)

Also: “It was a gift from the personal sous chef to the King of...” Toby raises a hand “...auto sales in Fargo.”

"Why were you in the closet?" "I had to pee." "They won't let me smoke inside but you can pee in Leo's closet."

"Charlie could you pull the fist lady out of whatever she's in right now?" "She's with the women's caucus" "Well put on a helmet and pads and get in there"

"Ginger, get the popcorn! Sam's getting beaten up by a girl!"

Golden Boy mn

I'm now picturing the Illusive Man calling the Butterball hotline

if only the west wing was built near a dying star instead of the Potomac River.

What wait wait you're telling me that is The Illusive Man (TIM) why the hell i didn't make the connection. Now in hindsight i thought that voice sounded familiar it just never clicked until now.

@@chasekiddy8864 That would be a hell of a view.

Oh yes. I got one for you: Zickafoose. Actual customer name.

Only the second? I do it on damn near a daily basis.

It's funny because that sounds exactly like something Tennant would say

Joe Bethersonton. He added an extra syllable like George Constanza.

But without an h in there.

+nn thayer same

Watching it now.

This and Alice's Restaurant

Even funnier, this implies he has at least a head chef as well!

Well he is a king.

@@WilliamSmith-vo8zu People drive from 2 or 3 states away to be cars in Fargo.

@@WilliamSmith-vo8zu The man can sell a car like, well like anything.

Well if you're the King of Auto Sales in Fargo, you'd better have a personal sous chef!

If only someone had commented this 7 months before you did.

Or they're just referencing a well known service. Not EVERYTHING is product placement.

The man can sell a car well like anything.

Only one T though. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLejqcaknq-maHU.html

Funniest thing I've seen today. I'm at work and trying not to snicker aloud.

HAHAHA man i have not laughed this hard in years. thankyou

Gotta get better at the names.

I watch it right after the WKRP turkey drop

Rewatching the complete series right now. This is the 15-ish time and it never gets old or boring.

+Nick Schulte Even better than when CJ does the jackal?

+shoussam Don't forget Big Block of Cheese Days! The society that wants to change maps is amazing.

+Mr. ZAP The Cartographers For Social Equality certainly had >me< wondering right along with C.J.

+Salice McCool - I'm with you on that. Though I loved Josh's intrusion into country size isn't correct yeah big deal, but we aren't where we are; then where are we? Then Donna's big hug for Sam spy checking & being a great guy who at least knows longitude and latitude ___ (enter Donna).

+Nick Schulte - I love it so much for the live stage performance feel to it. It immediately reminds me of Sorkin's scene in The American President when Michael Douglas is trying to order flowers, but with Toby facilitating answers. It was nice to see Toby immediately get involved and enjoy it and poor Charlie. The first time I heard this from another room I just kept hearing Pruder this and Pruder that and thought I was going a bit deaf or he was saying the "Za" part really softly.

+Jesse Berman It could be Bedhersonton -- ð instead of þ, essentially.

+Jesse Berman I figured he was just clarifying about the lone "t" in the later part of the name.

I've wondered about that for years!

There's also an H in there too.

Maybe its Bethersondon, that way it could have 1 T and a H

Lol, I thought the same thing about the stuffing...wouldn't the Butterball Hotline expert know that if it's cooked in a casserole dish it's called "dressing" instead? I'm from Louisiana, and we never stuff our turkeys because we fry them instead of baking them....so we have dressing, not stuffing :)

+Bayougirl78 I had fried turkey once; sadly, our host had burnt it nearly to a crisp. Would love to taste a properly-fried version!

Salice McCool You really should try a proper one sometimes, they are absolutely delicious! The meat stays much juicier than when you bake a turkey, and we inject them with seasonings, so there's lots of flavor throughout :)

+Bayougirl78 I'm from New England, and recall the dressing being baked and served in a casserole dish most often; why, I'm not sure. Would love to taste a properly-fried turkey, sounds delicious! I'm surprised this method of cooking a bird didn't catch on here in the Southwest years ago, as it seems fitting. Will keep my fingers crossed! (I don't cook; I push buttons,)

@@Bayougirl78 My family has always done it outside the turkey, but I've never heard it called dressing. We still call it stuffing, it's an artifact title essentially, like MTV or laptops when not on your lap.

+Guesswork The one where he pardons the turkey ("soft on turkeys") from the same episode is also a great example.

+Guesswork When Leo interviews Ainsley Hayes

+Guesswork If you're looking for humor, the opening scene where they're all playing poker and Barlet is quizzing them on all sort of obscure stuff: I've seen it here on YT under "Questions on the West Wing." Or one of my favorites, "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc." There are just so many!

The 'secret plan to fight inflation' in the first season.. Josh and Barlett are gold!!

If you're still in the market, I'd suggest his first appearance, and, in a similar vein, Season 2, Episode 3, in which he tears radio host Dr. Jenna James to shreds.

...I think we got that.

yes we've got the crank caller

pjabrony he did prank phone call once pretending to be his own employee or something. Gotta love that guy. Proof anybody can be president.

If it's on the side it's called dressing. Inside the turkey it's called stuffing
