Dan Egan: Uh, no. No, ma'am.
Amy Brookheimer: No. That doesn't ring a bell.
Ms. Bennett: So it's not a word combining Jonah and gonad?
Dan Egan: Not to my knowledge.
Jonah Ryan: I can confirm that that is exactly what it is and Mr. Egan knows that.
Mr. Rakes: In fact, Mr. Egan, I was told that you encouraged staffers to add to this glossary of abuse.
Dan Egan: I do not at this moment in time recall the action nor the document in question.
Mr. Rakes: Okay, maybe this will jog your memory. We have some extracts. J-Rock, Jizzy Gillespie, Jack and the Giant Jackoff, Gaylien, Tinkerballs, Wadzilla, One Erection...
Jonah Ryan: Do we have to go through all of these?
Mr. Wallace: I'm not sure that I see the relevance.
Mr. Rakes: The witnesses claim they held their former colleague in high regard and I am attempting to prove otherwise.

So I thought that "Debate" was an exception, but no, here we go again, another awful, unfunny, boring and over-contrived episode, clearly drawing from "Episode 4.6" of "The Thick of it" but at least thankfully not being nearly as long - even while being about 4 times as long as it needed to be.
Why does Mr. Iannucci keep falling back on that format, so antithetical to the fast-paced, laugh-a-second, indulgently-amoral gold standard of his shows?..
