20 Times 'The West Wing' Was Too Funny And/Or Real
Warner Bros. Television

"The West Wing" ran on NBC from 1999-2006. It is honestly one of the best shows on Netflix, and everyone should watch it. It is a political drama, but it is full of amazing hysterical moments.

1. When in the first episode President Bartlet crashed his bike into a tree.

The whole series starts off with the senior staff of the white house had to deal with the President being in a bicycle accident.

2. When in the same episode, Sam tells his boss' daughter (Mallory) that he slept with a Call Girl.


3. Danny giving CJ a really thought-out gift, but the wrong kind.

Danny was hosting just trying to woo CJ and asked Josh what she likes. He obviously misunderstood.

4. When Josh told the press that the white house had a secret plan to fight inflation, all because CJ couldn't do the briefing.

It was hysterical and started a media frenzy that all happened because CJ had an emergency room canal.

5. When Toby came to visit CJ and she fell into a pool.

This episode was a flash back to see how everyone got involved in the Bartlet Campaign. This moment was gold.

6. When Josh found out he had "fans" who had a website dedicated to him, and he tried to interact with them.

His interaction turned his fan club against him. It confused him and led to this very accurate quote.

7. When Sam was getting whipped in a political debate by "Republican girl" Ainsley Hayes and he hoped Josh and Toby weren't watching, but they were.

This is one of my favorite moments in West Wing history. "Toby come quick Sam is his ass kicked by a girl." It was amazing.

8. Ainsley Hayes meeting the president while in her robe dancing

It was so awkward and funny. I identified so much with her in this scene. I also identify with this scene...

9. When Ainsley then gets a redo to meet the president, but freaks out and tries to go to the bathroom, but ends up in Leo's closet instead.

Literally me.

10. ANY TIME LORD MARBURY SHOWS UP AND CALLS LEO, GERALD

For some reason, this British drunk makes me laugh anytime he is on screen.

11. The turkey pardon that CJ was torn on, since she was given two to choose from, could only pick one and the other got eaten.

I mean, same President Bartlet. Same.

12. President Bartlet saying this to his wife after he won an argument.

Literally me anytime I win an argument.

13. When CJ was walking with Annabeth and made everyone laugh and make every tall person say "I relate."

The height distance is really unreal though, honestly.

14. When Leo really talked honestly about the debate in the meeting

That's politics sometimes... sadly.

15. Just this quote for Leo, no context needed.

16. When Leo would give his speech about Andrew Jackson and the reason behind Big Block of Cheese Day

17. The world map being inaccurate and making Josh and CJ question everything they know about life.

Honestly, though, this made me question everything I know about life too.

18. When Abby was real with CJ

Imagine one of the most powerful women in the world just asking you to go get drunk.

19. When Charlie had to give the President a wake-up call.

Waking up is hard, waking someone up is harder sometimes.

20. When Toby played a joke on Josh by paying a bunch of people to tell him they voted wrong

Josh became so worried and started freaking out.

These are only a few of my favorite. "West Wing" is one of the best shows, don't believe me, watch it yourself.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
