Recap / Our Cartoon President S3E01 "Impeachment"

Go To

The House of Representatives impeaches the president and Sean Hannity is trying to defend him. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren is trying to connect with her base.


This episode provides examples of:

  • A Day in the Limelight: The B-plot is all about Elizabeth Warren trying to connect to everyday voters.
  • Drunk on Milk: The episode's Cold Open has Mitt Romney treat milk as though it were an alcoholic drink.
  • Hidden Depths: Mike Pence is self-aware enough to admit that his theism is used to explain what he doesn't understand (which is a lot) and he is horrified at the idea of becoming President because he knows he's too incompetent to do anything other than make a giant mess should he get the job.
  • Never My Fault: All Hillary learned from the 2016 election is "I'm perfect and voters are complete morons."
  • Take That!:
    • Clinton remarks that impeachment only ever seems to be over "the least bad thing you did."
    • Mike Pence mentions his time as a radio-host as a disqualifier for the role of president.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Mike Pence only learned recently that the main ingredient of omelets are eggs, he doesn't know how to operate a desk-drawer and he doesn't know who won World War II.
