What I find amazing is that Amy could say Francis Scott Key Key with a straight face while CJ is in hysterics. I love this show.

It's, like, a million things in this clip that kill me. Chief among them is the little nod Marian gives when she finishes saying her name, then the shot of C.J.'s back shaking with laughter as Amy tries to fix it, then Will saying "Thank you" to the visitors, which startles them, which startles HIM. Oh my God, this clip is hysterical.

Allison janey has an absolutely beautiful laugh.

There are so many quotes in this clip that I drop in casual day to day conversation... "Is this a hazing?" "Why do you care? Just go in and talk it through!" "Saddened? That doesn't sound like Abigail...." "She likes to keep it as a surprise... for the faces... for the surprise" "You know what happened? I didn't have my game face on"

"I was thinking about this thing that happened with the deficit"

I would have bust out laughing had I heard Coatsworth-Haye's voice

For some reason the point I always laugh out loud at (and I've seen this clip MANY times) is Will Bailey saying "Thank you" while standing behind them. Just... every time.

They just talked about Allison's perfectly infectious laugh on The West Wing Weekly episode 5

One of my favorite CJ scenes. Helena Hodsworth Hooter-Tooter of Braintree

THIS IS THE BEST SCENE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES..... I HAVE IT ON MY PHONE FOR ALL TIME. It is the Frances Scott Key Key.

My favorite thing is that that woman just sits there, ignoring everyone, all through CJ introducing everyone, because this conversation WILL NOT START until SHE stands up and starts it.

"Well that's a different fox-hunt altogether now isn't it?"

"it's the Francis Scott Key Key"

His name is Francis Scott Key (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key)

The snort was perfect

I love how the normally steadfast Amy was so rattled in this episode. Mary-Louise Parker played comedic panic beautifully.

"I didn't have my game face on". You think CJ lol!

i came here after Anna Faris said "allison janney" is good at fake laughter XD

God bless for giving us Allison Janney

"I was thinking of this thing that just happened with the deficit" - best excuse ever!

"She was saddened?" Don't sweat it, Allison Janney. I would break at that, too.

BY FAR the funniest scene in the whole series

Oh dear lord this scene is the funniest thing ever performed. I have tears in my eyes. God bless Allison Janney.

I love this scene so much

Francis Scott Key key! Lolololol

“It’s the Francis Scott Key Key…” Bless Amy

she has the best laugh!!

I could watch this 100 times. Great great stuff

...with the DEF-icit!!

oh my word I love this scene so much. I reckon this is the funniest scene (that doesn't involve Josh or Donna) in the entire of the West Wing. all three of them are hilarious in this.

Allison Janney...best laugh EVER!

And then she went on to play Ethel Beavers on Parks & Rec. What a great actress.

“ is this a hazing?” Love that.

Me too! "I don't think she's getting the leaves" kills me every time. As does everything about this scene.

i love that laugh. it is beautiful.

this and 'dried leaves' are my two all time favorite WW scenes!! thanks for posting

Best... scene... ever!

This is why Allison Janney can bathe in Emmy Awards. #brilliant!

CJ got caught in Steven Moffat's "giggle loop."

It’s Ethyl Beavers!

Hilarious.

This made my night!!

This is the freaking BEST! Lol!

Thankyou... THANKYOU..

I. Love. Allison. Janney.

Jimmy Fallon, eat your heart out. Allison Janney knows how to fake laugh.

what is her name?

Hoy

Oh, there would most definitely be an award by that evening. Some intern would be dispatched post-haste that afternoon to the nearest trophy store to buy an award shaped like a key and get it engraved with appropriate, if meaningless, award-speak.

Why do I think I have heard the older woman's voice before? Is she a voice actor, or a character actor? It's too bad they were not doing this scene in Hawaii. They could have offered the Francis Scott Key key, in Waikiki. Hee Haw Hee Haw, knee slapper... I am so very, very sorry. bwhahaha.

If you watched Parks and Recreation she was in it for a couple of episodes...I don't know anything else she was in. And no need to apologize, that joke made me laugh
