Everyone else was always up for supporting and they won it almost every year. Martin Sheen was the only up for Lead Actor, he was up every single year and lost out to James Gandolfini at least twice, James Spader twice too among others. He had absolutely crazy competition but still, should have won it at least once
"Hot Damn, now you're talking." So funny. I never would want President Bartlett to resign, but the humor and humility in this line, and the way Martin Sheen delivered it, made me laugh so much.
For a primarily "drama" series, I have to say that I laughed out loud at The West Wing more than I did some sitcoms at the time....some of the writing was brilliantly, sarcastically, funny
My grandpa took an ambien by accident this past Christmas and he acted exactly like this. My brothers and I found it to be the funniest thing we had ever seen. Looks and acts exactly like Sheen too which makes this scene even funnier for me.
When my grandma was in the hospital they put her on morphine for a broken leg. She thought she was in Hutzlers, an old dept store that's long gone. She said " now they will rip you off in the basement sales...." We were laughing so hard. My sister said Oh look at the scarf I bought in the basement. Just to mess with her. She said " Makes you look like a flapper whore" 😂 she thought it was the 1920s. Once we told them to take her off it....she refused to believe she said those things lol
As perfect as this scene is already, I would love for Abbey to have come and get him. Imagine his stoned reaction! So many things he could say and all of them would be adorable in my mind.
I love how jed is like “DONE!” And Leo immediately follows up with “good Sam” after his idea like “atta boy, the president is out of his mind but that’s actually a good idea.”
Actually it wasn’t planned ahead of time….. Aaron Sorkin came up with it quickly be a he wanted a reason for Bartlett to be in bed all day watching day time tv.
Leo: Mr. President, maybe you should get back to the residence. POTUS: Hmmm? The look of panic on everyone's faces was priceless. POTUS is under the influence of Rx meds in the Oval Office while the business of government is being conducted. The press would have had a field day with that one, which is why they tried to hurry him out of there. What a great show.
sad but true... anyway, there is no contest. no match. here we said "the same difference between to eat and to look someone else eating when you're starving"
@@britneyspaulding When the fictional character is infinitely superior to said sitting president... slumping president... lying in bed until 11am watching Fox News on 'Executive Time' president, than yes, people will compare him to Trump's detriment. Oh, and I'm British, and like 90% of the world that isn't America, I hold Trump in the deepest contempt. A British politician who'd pulled half as much illegal crap as he has would not just be fired, but in prison.
I had kidney stones.....excruciating pain....they admitted me because they were blocking my kidneys and shot me up with Dilaudid. I was telling the nurses how I loved them and how pretty they looked lol. I loved Lamp. That's how that stuff works lol
hes been doing that alot. he re uses things. like in the pilot of news room when he said "we reached for the stars" thats like his favorite phrase. or when in the second episode of news room the ceiling falls in his house when it falls on josh's desk in TWW. anyway west wing is still the best but news room is cool too
I love the show. Loved the scene….but…. Shouldn’t the senior staff have been panicking a little bit? What if a crisis happened in the next 15 minutes? Where is the Vice President? When will this wear off? Might they have to invoke the 25th amendment? Where is the cabinet? Remember when Toby accused Leo of a coup when Bartlet had an episode of MS? Isn’t this the same? I’m ready for the “relax dude, it’s just a funny scene from a tv show”.
They sorta expected him not being around and it's more of a briefing until he came, Seems to be that they are used to this and readily call who is in charge when things go south
The USA. "I'm seriously thinking about getting a god". "I'm seriously thinking about getting a dog". TOLD THIS TALE. Nevermind. I am seriously thinking of shilling people with this back given to me by the mother of the Queen of England. Oh and shilling them again😅😅 Toby or not Toby. "I'm seriously thinking about getting a dog". My mind is sharp.😅😅
Back. Given again in service. I hate this role. As I imagine no offence Victor Orban clasping paws with whom and whom and yup peacemakers in our Himes, Jim. Only A Yankee knight in the Cort of ...king 'arfer momentum😊
Even I have to disagree with you on this one. President Bartlet truly does love America and is trying to do what he believe is best for the Unites States. Baaaaracccck Hussein Obama was in it for the power and glory.
"I wasn't supposed to take them both?"
Leo: oh my god
Mr. Sheen never won an Emmy for his Barlett which is absurd.
I Agree 👍🏽 100%
Tough era. He had to beat out Spencer, Whitford, Schiff, and Lowe, as well as all the actors on "The Sopranos".
Agreed
I think Bartlett was a bit too comical to win
Everyone else was always up for supporting and they won it almost every year. Martin Sheen was the only up for Lead Actor, he was up every single year and lost out to James Gandolfini at least twice, James Spader twice too among others. He had absolutely crazy competition but still, should have won it at least once
In a scene full of hilarious moments, Toby getting hugged against his will makes me lose it every time.
It took me like ten views but my favorite is Josh’s look when he realizes the president is altered.
Everyone slowly realising... one of the best, not related to anything else, scenes
He looks like a cat being forced to wear a sweater.
"Hot Damn, now you're talking." So funny. I never would want President Bartlett to resign, but the humor and humility in this line, and the way Martin Sheen delivered it, made me laugh so much.

Bayougirl78 that's Aaron Sorkin's magic. Timing and majestic structure in a story.
You can tell the cast struggled to get through this scene with a straight face. One of the funniest "West Wing" scenes ever.
There’s a blooper reel on this scene it’s great
Charlie having to babysit barlett is the best
Leo: "Mrs Landingham!"
ML: "Yes Sir?"
Josh: "Get. Charlie."
Best Chief/Deputy Chief teamwork moment ever.
Rob Lowe very nearly lost his marbles during the hug. Look at the struggle on his face.
My grandpa took an ambien by accident this past Christmas and he acted exactly like this. My brothers and I found it to be the funniest thing we had ever seen. Looks and acts exactly like Sheen too which makes this scene even funnier for me.

O god, a little bit of Crabbey Blabbey goes a long way.
This scene alone should've earned him an Emmy
I’ve always wondered why he didn’t win one .. but then again it’s the 90s so it was probably a little more difficult
I'm seriously thinking of getting a dog. I'm dead
One of my all-time-favorite scenes from this show!!! Hysterical.
Leo’s face after Bartlett said he took both is hilarious.
Leo thinking “that takes me back to the old days”
I love the expression on CJ's face. It would be all I could do to avoid laughing out loud.
It's so charming what they thought was an ethics issue back when this was made. Now, we have moved on to Scott Pruitt.
“Hmm?” At 0:23 cracks me up.
I didn’t know Bartlet was high on painkillers. Explains a lot
One of my favourite scenes. Martin Sheen is a genius
"I'm Sam, Sir" 🤣🤣🤣
I love how jed is like “DONE!” And Leo immediately follows up with “good Sam” after his idea like “atta boy, the president is out of his mind but that’s actually a good idea.”
I’m seriously think about getting a dog 😂😂😂😂
How nobody tried not to bust up laughing shows how truly gifted they are in their acting.
There is a blooper reel with this scene as one of the bloopers
@@Whatchamawhozit I think Richard Shiff was the first to crack 😂
They did many times lol they just didn’t show that
when Bartlet says "my muscles aren’t... you know" could is be a nudge at his ms? I don't think it's revealed at this point
It's not revealed but I think (although I'm not 100% sure) that it was already planned to happen at this point
Actually it wasn’t planned ahead of time….. Aaron Sorkin came up with it quickly be a he wanted a reason for Bartlett to be in bed all day watching day time tv.
That hug was priceless!
Toby's face during that hug pretty much says it all LOL
Man, his dog line kills me every time :D
"No, no, no. Sit, sit, sit." XD
Leo: Mr. President, maybe you should get back to the residence.
POTUS: Hmmm?
The look of panic on everyone's faces was priceless. POTUS is under the influence of Rx meds in the Oval Office while the business of government is being conducted. The press would have had a field day with that one, which is why they tried to hurry him out of there. What a great show.
Great, great scene. No one better than Martin Sheen!
Watching this series for the first time. OMG this part was so funny.
Is it sad that Bartlet on painkillers is still more eloquent than Trump on his best day.
sad but true... anyway, there is no contest. no match. here we said "the same difference between to eat and to look someone else eating when you're starving"
Everything always comes back to Trump with you lefty snowflakes!!!! Hahahah he lives in your minds RENT FREE!!!!! FUGGIN LOVE ITTTTTTTT!!!
Even G. Bush is a better speaker.
Britney Spaulding thank you!!!!

Unlike Toby, Sam at 1:32 seems so very genuinely happy to have been hugged.
"Wasn't meant to take both?" 🤣
them trying not to laugh is the best thing ever
Leo :- Maybe you should get back to the residence.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Bartlet :- hmm?.😂
Just about the most hysterical scene EVER!
3:14 "There ya go" lol. One of Toby's worst days!
Rehearsals must have been fun.
"I wasn't supposed to take them both ?"
I love John Spenser’s wide eyed reaction 😂😂😂
"To avoid even the appearance of impropriety "
With each passing year it gets more painful to watch this show.
my favorite show.
I had kidney stones.....excruciating pain....they admitted me because they were blocking my kidneys and shot me up with Dilaudid. I was telling the nurses how I loved them and how pretty they looked lol. I loved Lamp. That's how that stuff works lol
" internet stocks" ha. The 90s.
“Charlie’s a great name”
Said the man who named his son Charlie.
Ha, reminds me of trump when he is sober.
hes been doing that alot. he re uses things. like in the pilot of news room when he said "we reached for the stars" thats like his favorite phrase. or when in the second episode of news room the ceiling falls in his house when it falls on josh's desk in TWW. anyway west wing is still the best but news room is cool too
came here after conway directly endorsed Ivankas brand on national television.
He looks like his son, Emilio in this one.
It is like when you see your grandmother
...no no no siiiiiit downnnnn I'll make you some fooooood. Bahahahahaha high as fuuuuuck
"How do you feel?"
"Like I just got screwed with my pants on."
"Better you than me!"
Done wait I’m dead
Look
…
We beat medicare.
And…
Im seriously thinking about getting a dog.
PLEASE pause at 0:25.
This is when they still wanted the show to be more about Sam and the other staffers before they decided to make Martin Sheen the star of the show.
Poor Toby LOL
I love this scene so much 😂
1:23 😂
I never realized there was a MS foreshadowing at 02:10 in the clip
I love the show. Loved the scene….but…. Shouldn’t the senior staff have been panicking a little bit? What if a crisis happened in the next 15 minutes? Where is the Vice President? When will this wear off? Might they have to invoke the 25th amendment? Where is the cabinet? Remember when Toby accused Leo of a coup when Bartlet had an episode of MS? Isn’t this the same?

Then relax
They sorta expected him not being around and it's more of a briefing until he came,
Seems to be that they are used to this and readily call who is in charge when things go south
That explains some of Trump's behaviours!
Not even these explain THOSE behaviors.
Be quiet
Imagine if Nancy Pelosi did this every time she insider traded.
This is how I imagine the Trump White House.
As comical as this is, wouldn't this be grounds to consider the 25th due to temporary incapacity?
this is trump everyday......lolz
Je suis Charlie !
................HMM?
Know what’s a great name Martin
The USA. "I'm seriously thinking about getting a god".
"I'm seriously thinking about getting a dog". TOLD THIS TALE. Nevermind.
I am seriously thinking of shilling people with this back given to me by the mother of the Queen of England. Oh and shilling them again😅😅
Toby or not Toby.
"I'm seriously thinking about getting a dog".
My mind is sharp.😅😅
Irish Setter. Good choice!😅
Is he just doing an impression of Charlie?
Back. Given again in service. I hate this role.
As I imagine no offence Victor Orban clasping paws with whom and whom and yup peacemakers in our Himes, Jim. Only A Yankee knight in the Cort of ...king 'arfer momentum😊
Every day in the Obama Whitehouse

@@danielshaver4517 You sound like a sycophant Trumper
Let's be serious. He wasn't the first President to get high.
But Bill didn't inhale
