That waterballoonscene was unique. How does a gorgeous woman tell a guy she likes him? The stare at the desk already did it, when she clearly was distracted to answer, just like guys are distracted when they just gaze at a beautiful woman.
i know there is a great deal of youtube debate concerning amy/josh v. donna/josh but i mean you gotta love this scene. when she says, "you wanna get hit over the head," and then josh's reaction.......MASTER CLASS acting AND writing. Great, great scene.
I love this scene. Such a delightfully random ending too. It's a shame that intelligent shows like this one are deemed unpopular before they even air nowadays. If a show is good, a network is supposed to slap its viewers with it until they learn to watch it. Both Seinfeld and MASH had terrible ratings in the beginning.
I wish they'd been able to keep "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" going for another season. I think if it had been kept on for another season it would have built up the audience for a full 7 seasons.
Intelligent shows tend to attack issues in a way that actually make the viewers think about real world problems, so production companies will rather have dumb characters misrepresent problems and be unpopular rather than have to face any controversy outside of the show. And they hope that they can sexism or racism as a cop-out by making the bad show seem to be about those issues instead of them made deliberately misleading
*When I told the woman I love the 'three words' she scowled at me, gave me a soft punch in the gut, turned round and stomped away* __________ *"SHE LIKES ME!" or at least the 'idea' of me being in love with her!* *A very encouraging sign*
interesting how she calls him out on his "power dating" as another woman labeled it. she was letting him know, she's not another notch on the bed post looking to date upwards. she's a female version of josh, and its interesting how many fans didn't like her for it.
Amy n Josh used to be an item, years before the white house. When Amy "saves" Abby Bartlett at the luncheon, Abby asks: "how can you live with someone like Josh? when he says": blah blah blah. Amy responds: "I didn't live with him, and my problem is, when he says stuff like that, I wanna jump him."
@@henrybutchy3242 true, and there was another woman character who i think was an ex of Josh. too bad there isn't a "young sheldon" spin off of some of these main characters, but then perhaps part of the magic of this show was how they interacted with each other. still, a spinoff show could have cameo appearances... Amy wasn't playing games with Josh, she just was being careful with him and his reputation, i think.
So the next time I have a crush on someone I should throw a water balloon at them? The ultimate display of affection, the tried and true mating ritual of human kind.
No little boy grows up wanting to pick up trash. There are a lot of jobs no one *wants* to do, but do anyway because they need the money and those jobs need to be done, and there are abusive employers in every industry. The argument against legalising prostitution is one solely based in so called "benevolent" sexism.
Why is it that all the strongest advocates for the legalisation (read: 'normalisation') of prostitution seem to be men? Aside from obvious safeguards to ensure that sex workers are not criminalised or exploited, the idea of normalising the objectification of women is despicable. Try and look at it this way; as a man, if your choice was between ending your day collecting refuse or ending your day sodomised and humiliated, which would you choose? Pretending that sex is not an intimate and deeply affecting experience is delusional. Society shouldn't punish those who have been forced into it, but conversely it should not be celebrated.
@@agirlwithdreams15 no one needs street cleaners in order to survive either, no one needs actors or plumbers. Are you saying no job that isn't required for survival should be legal?
What I want to know is. After the shooting in season one Josh suffered flashbacks with loud noises setting him off. How come that balloon bursting at his feet didn't trigger a flashback?
"I know of no little girl and neither do you who says I want to be a prostitute when I grow up" Well funnily enough, I know of no little boy and neither do you who says "I was to be a sewage cleaner when I grow up" yet funnily enough we don't make cleaning the sewers illegal. What an absolutely horrible argument.
This is only true when Prostitution is criminalised forcing sex workers to be placed in the position described. Where sex work is decriminalised, it is the minority of sex workers who experience exploitation, trafficking & marginalisation. Countries that have legalised sex work & have passed laws to protect sex workers, have a thriving industry of successful independent escorts who have the security of knowing that they have rights & are protected. Failing to pay a sex worker in most states in Australia (QLD being the backward outcast state in the country) will result in SA by deceltion charges, which is prosecuted regularly & results in an average custodial sentence on a first offence of two years.
@@jkcarroll It's only slavery if it involves coercion. You can frame a scenario where it's no more inherently exploitative than any other job if the prostitute is paid is a fair wage for their work. But the reality is that the dehumanising nature of that work means it's not something most people (of either sex) would choose if they had any real choice.
@@notdaveschannel9843 Nevada proves that. There are legal brothels there where the women set their rates and hours and advocate for the decriminalization of sex work.
Well, yeah. You could say the same thing about murder. It's illegal *and* stigmatised for a reason. Primarily because it's morally wrong. I'm not saying it should be illegal, it's important that sex workers are protected and given support. But I'd draw the line at condoning it.
I've got to be in a minority, but I saw no flirting, no "telling a guy you like him" or anything that wasn't on a small level, rather antagonistic. What in the hell ever happened to clear communication? Do people not talk to each other anymore?
If you didn't see any flirting in that, I'd guess it takes you at least 2 & a half hours just to watch "60 Minutes" and no less than an hour to cook "Minute Rice".
I feel sorry for you, mr. Clueless. Josh is flirting from the moment he's waiting at the door. Maybe Amy starts flirting with: "Are you dating your assistant? Are you dating Joey Lucas?" But certainly Amy is flirting when she deploys that tractor beam of a smile, and stays silent.
The foreplay is cute. She owns him with her smile. The banter, sweet.
That waterballoonscene was unique. How does a gorgeous woman tell a guy she likes him? The stare at the desk already did it, when she clearly was distracted to answer, just like guys are distracted when they just gaze at a beautiful woman.
They had such great chemistry.
Ladies and gentlemen: possibly the cutest and most Amy way of telling a guy you like them.
God that smile

If you think about it, that was a pretty great shot. She threw that from at least 80 feet away with at least 10 other people nearby.
@John Fisher Blah blah blah.
@John Fisher
So very far to the right. 😁
Low and outside for a ball.
I suspect Amy prefers to scratch her fingernails across a chalkboard; just to obtain a reaction. Dangerous liaison.
She's a beginner
She's just a triple-deep well of hidden metaphors

Technically, they go together after she left the white house
from that to fucking porn stars for 130,000 dollars 1 year after his last son is born. and yet call yourself the family values party.
@@m24213 Donna didn't leave the White House, she just she started working for FLOTUS and not Josh anymore after they got together
@@ArgonTheAware They didn't get together until the later when they had both left the White House and were working for the Santos campaign.
God, I love Amy.
We've gone from this to Scandal. What happened to us?

We have gone to Jersey Shore to Breaking Bad.
See what I did there?
the same thing i said , and scandal not even a political show
Have you watched the newsroom?

Exactly

Fairly good shot from that distance and height... gotta give her that.
An even better shot if she actually intended to get that close but still miss
I so hope its true that Eleanor Roosevelt wrote Cats!
Only Amy could make throwing a water balloon at someone charming.
She liked hats
She sure hit me over the head❤️🤪
Sorkin should be credited for being the last TV showrunner to make being smart and patriotic something that's actually cool
I heart them so freaking much.
Dire economic need is a form of coercion
Anyone else wondering where tf she got a WATER BALLOON in her OFFICE that quickly?
No? Only me?
Ok...
She was practicing making balloon animals for her nieces and nephews earlier in the episode, so that's my theory.
Plus that long pause was her setting that up I think. Such a great show
Who keeps a supply of water balloons ready to go?
Earlier in the episode she says she's been practicing making balloon animals for her nephews
I mean, do you not?
This is Aaron Sorkin's erotic literature.

I keep coming back to this scene and wondering why she had balloons to make a water balloon just laying around. I don't think her character had kids.
I recall another scene in her office where there were balloon animals present because she was in to making them for some reason.
He had to go down in the lift from herv office on the 3rd/4h floor. Plenty of time to run to the sink and fill a balloon with water.
I wonder how this argument holds up in the world of "Only Fans"
I can't stand her ... but that was her best moment.
What I want to know is. After the shooting in season one Josh suffered flashbacks with loud noises setting him off. How come that balloon bursting at his feet didn't trigger a flashback?
I would say a balloon filled with air/helium when popped has the same sound as a gunshot. Water balloon doesn't

Macca95 I also knew a girl in middle school who badly wanted to be a prostitute. The only reason she didn’t is because it is so unsafe where we live.
Porn and safe access to sex workers actually lowers sex crime stats, from what I've heard.
Some would say it intersects health, safety, and moral concerns like local gov't should do

Is that flirting?
Imagine Amy Gardner being on the scene when trans gender ideology began to take off!
Hey remember when Democrats were against drug abuse and prostitution?
Boy those were the days.
Everything negative about prostitution stems from it being a) illegal and b) stigmatized. Remove both of those and the issues go away.
+faolan1686 Prostitution is legal here in the UK but there's still people trafficking and coercion.
