The funniest part of this video is trying to figure out how most of these make their way into a conversation as a reference 😂

my favorite -- "you want to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing?"

"As long as I got a job, you got a job. You understand?" "If you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for red lights." "Ran INTO the fire." Chills every time.

"Leo, wouldn't this time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can't possibly defend itself against us?" "We can do that later, Toby. Right now I'm talking about President Andrew Jackson." Technically, so was Toby.

I wish I had a West Wing friend I could quote back and forth with.

“I’m seriously thinking about getting a dog,” is possibly my single favorite line from The West Wing.

I loved the Leo "down in the hole speech, and then later when Josh repeated it back to him"

"There is literally no one in the world that I don't hate right now." THIS IS A MOOD FOR ALL TIME.

I like how everything's chronological except that "Mrs Landingham, what's next?" gets a special spot right at the end.

“Are you talking to me during the jackal? Never talk to me during the jackal!” That’s me when watching the West Wing

When Donna says she wouldn’t stop for red lights is the best come on line from her to Josh

5:30 The Jackal is the fucking best lmao Sorkin: We had a a tendency to shoot very late Friday nights and early into Saturday and on Friday nights Allison's trailer became a nightclub, dubbed 'The Flamingo' after C.J.'s Secret Service code name. Janney: It's so hard to really do anything important when you're waiting around to shoot. You can't seriously try to read a book or do anything, so we would play these silly games. One night we were being completely silly and I was learning words to songs to lip-sync them and Richard would be my back-up. Sorkin: I was working on an idea for an opening for the next script and I wandered into The Flamingo around midnight to find Allison mid-Jackal with Richard sitting off to the side, smoking a cigar and playing an air drum. I just stood there for a second and then said, "We're doing this", went back to my office and wrote the opening. Janney: I loved it! I was so excited that he did that for me. But we actually had to reshoot it. We shot it twice because I, of course, did it as Allison and I was really getting into it. He said, "No, you have to do it as C.J. and she's not as good at doing it as you are!" Even though she was known for it at a silly college thing she did or whatever. So we had to reshoot it with me being a little more unsure of myself. I actually I did it again on a talk show recently, The Arsenio Hall Show. I'm also known to pull it out at parties."

7:40 that you go girl astonishes me everytime

"When did you write that last part?" "In the car" "...freak"

Lord Marbury never being able to correctly call Leo by his name will never not be funny!!!

I, myself, am 4'11", and I yearn for the day when I walk alongside Allison Janney. We're going to look awesome.

Nice to be reminded just how amazing a series The West Wing is! Also really wish Sorkin had turned Pilgrim Detectives into a real series!

Sam looking around confused when no one else was going on Leo's list other than him was hilarious. Great video!

“You did it above my head and you did it behind my back!” “Quite the contortionist… am I.” The DELIVERY

Wonderful scenes all. Alas- my favorites scenec(out of hundreds) is from "He Shall From Time To Time". President Bartlet advises the Ah Secretary what to do if he is the sole survivor- "do you have a best friend? Is he smarter than you? Would you trust him with your life? That's your Chief of Staff" (as Leo overhears). It brings tears to my eyes.

I never tire of watching this jewel of a tv series.

"...ran into the fire. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight." Fucking poetry.

“Gerald old sock” 😂😂

"There's a way to be a person" makes its way into my conversations far too often.

" You wanna make out with me, don't you?" " Well, when don't I?"

I truly adored Donna/Janel during the run of this show. What a teriffic actor.

RIP John Spencer. ❤

Martin Sheen made this show possible. We had to believe he was worth it for all of the others to work that hard .

Loved this show, so much. I would include Pres. Bartlett's phone call with the Butterball hotline. 😂 Edit: And Donna wanting her money back. 😅

When they first were creating the story of The West Wing, the story was supposed to be more strict to following the lives and jobs of the senior staff of the White House. It did that and did it well. However, when Martin Sheen did that awesome monologue in the first episode, against the religious people who wouldn’t talk against a Christian fringe group, they realized the president would need much more screen time and story like than was planned. Martin Sheen did so good that had to alter the storyline to include him more often.

"And the chemical abbreviation for table salt is N-A-C-L."

i have NEVER seen such a good west wing comp i will be watching this for DAYS ty ty ty

“ It’s not that I don’t know how it’s just that I haven’t learned yet”

Mary-Louise Parker was, at that time, the most attractive and intoxicatingly beautiful woman in the history of TV....

Great compilation... I would have added - "Have I displeased you, you feckless thug?!" From Two Cathedrals..

It's been so long since I watched this show and I forgot how much i adore Leo and Toby

someone should show every politician the scene where cj rips josh about social media. sorkin really had some foresight.

"The people on this sites they are the cast of One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest" That sounds so right

“No one invited you” “ITS GOT MY NAME ON IT!” 😂😂

Oh I think it's time for my yearly West Wing marathon.

"You know, John, there are places in the world where it might be considered rude to comment on the physical attributes of another man's wife." "My god.... REALLY?" Lord John Marbury was one of my favorite characters in the show. The British Wit combined with British Wisdom, advising America.

I might be a WW addict when I know most of these lines by heart. Naturally, most of these are from the first four years, the Sorkin years.

Sam and Mallory were awesome together… Leo was the heart and soul of the entire show!

"As long as I got a job, you got a job." Totally chilling. Reminiscent of Jeremy Renner's "Whose car we gonna take?" in "The Town."

The Dada of Dada cracked me up 😂

Whenever I talk about a group of people in almost any context, I am tempted to add the phrase “and by night they solve crimes” at the end.

The phrase "internet website" cracks me up everytime!

Toby is my spirit animal. I just love him so much.

this is such a fantastic compilation! basically contains all my favourite little bits, the funny, the sweet, the powerful, the brilliantly memorable! which is impressive as there’s so so many of them in the show.. thank you for making this!

I love how most of the quotes were before sorkin left bc it’s just so true

so many to love... i've used so many of these in real life - especially the babies with the hats!

Don’t know how this came up on my feed, but I appreciate it! I loved this show.

“The Jackal” is horrific, but “If you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for red lights” is one of the best moments in this magnificent show.

I had forgotten how much I liked Timothy Busfield as Danny Concannon on this show!

Imagine how different 8:30 would’ve gone if Sam’s next line was, “Toby, I’ve _never_ seen you laugh.”

Is it weird that I know the quotes of each scene at the first image ? Or is it a testament of how good the show was ? Aaron Sorkin sure has a gift to make the dialogues singing.

I watched this whole thing and was so dismayed to have not found “J’accuse mon petit fromage!” “You speak four languages, how come none of them is French?” “Nothing’s wrong with my French.” “You just called me your little cheese!” “You lose, I win, ‘twas ever thus.” “I’m sitting here eating a sandwich because we had a deal!” “-then God, Jed, I don’t even want to know you.” But also this is the best show and we have been doing an annual rewatch every summer since 2016 and then watch seasonally appropriate episodes during national holidays.

Gerald!

I just started showing West Wing to my sister, and I’m glad to say she is loving it. I’ve seen it all, and just finished season 1 with her

Still, after all these years, the best written show on TV, ever. Can't imagine what it would have been if they kept to the original plan and made Sam the leading character...

I swear I have a permanent crush on CJ. Smart became the new sexy and I haven’t looked back since.

6:14 The unit got over it 🏳️‍🌈

"You wanna tempt the wrath of the whatever high atop the thing?" 😂 Perfection. 👌🏻

THis is a great collection... thanks with all the work

What a GREAT show. Love it!

Josh, Toby, Leo and C.J. were the best characters ever.

This is a great compilation, some make me laugh hysterically and some make me cry.

Time to watch this series again.

Ok fine I'll watch all the episodes of the West Wing again

"Tempting the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing" gives me LIFE. I also use "Maybe not so much for you with the talking."

Great compilation!

I like this video but I love this concept more. Someone needs to do this for more shows! For myself and my partner it’s Community and Archer right now

No "however". Just stand there in your wrongness, and be wrong, and get used to it.

Love the West Wing. So many moments to pick!

I voted this up in less than a minute. Liked the video collection immediately.

Sure there were far fewer peak moments after Sorkin left, but I'm surprised to see so few from seasons 5-7. Especially after CJ and Margaret started spending more scenes together, there were some fantastic and quotable lines. Plus Lily Tomlin.

6:11 Noticed the episode was directed by Laura Innes, also known as Kerrie Weaver in E.R.

Danny Concannon my total perfect man.

Love this. Just missing the scene when Toby gets back from the hospital after Zoe has been taken. It’s perfection.

i actually FORGOT until watching this video that my common thing to say "you did a whole thing there all by yourself" is from this show

Do some reaearch, Andrew Jackson's 2 ton block of cheese was pork barrel spending, both years he did it the govt, bought it from an old friend

Love this video, but why did you make me cry again? Thought this was a happy video. "the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight" watched this more than 8 times the whole series this still gets me.

"The streets of heaven tonight are too crowded with angels..." I'm not religious, but wow, that's quite a turn of phrase, delivered powerfully.

I never understood The Jackal. There. I said it.

I recite the don't tempt the wrath of the whatever for high atop the thing every Election Day.

I absolutely love the scene in which the President is stoned to of his mind!

And the first kiss between Josh and Amy is exhilarating . . . but any kiss with Mary-Louise Parker would be so by definition.

"If you were in an accident I wouldn't stop for red lights" that wasn't even directed at me and I fell in love with her. How in the absolute hell Josh wasn't absolutely floored, I have no idea.

My 3 favorites are The Motherboard scene, Leo telling the story about the guy in the hole and how he knows how to get out and After being berated, wrongly accused and a little stereotyped by Leo, the new hire underling is back at his desk and Leo steps in to apologize and Leo says "Way to be back at your desk". Showing the larger calling we hope all the folks who work at the WH should have.

They're all about duty

the Leo hole comment and story line is so powerful while being cute.

I'm not gonna watch it but I love how personal this is :)

There are only a certain amount of people that will get every one of these references, and I hope that is 51 percent of Americans. OR MORE . . . Also, I love how you edited this!

I wish there were more episodes with the Admiral. Great actor and great relationship between the President and the Admiral.

This was a great show!

9:38 it’s that little pause … just this *one* second. This story gets me - every - single- time. More than 20 years later, I still haven’t come across a tv series which even comes *close* to TWW.

This was glorious!

Excellent choices

So good! Talk about couple goals.

"it's like there's nothing you can do about that joke...it's coming but you have to just stand there." i use it regularly
