funniest things that happened in The Diplomat
- hal, incensed by the procedural policy that the title of ambassador is not conferred until one physically assumes the post and receives the credentialed invitation, begins to handwrite "ambassador" before kate's name on her business cards by hand
- is so bad at writing things by hand that it reads as "ambulance"
- kate not being able to catch a clue if it smacked her in the face
- kate eating hal's discarded breakfast like a trash racoon
- kate beating the shit out of hal with her shoes on the lawn of winfield house in plain view of her secret service detail and likely the american president and/or the british prime minister should basically anyone at all casually glance out the window
- said secret service detail watching from the balcony with binoculars rather than intervene because "we protect her, not him"
- kate constantly walking around barefoot to the utter dismay of her staff
- kate meeting the american president looking like she rolled around in the dirt because she quite literally rolled around in the dirt
- kate and austin giggling over the violent death of a man

- kate and hal stealing food from the prime minister's pantry
- the prime minister catching them after having gone to the pantry to steal food himself
- the american president ordering coffee during his private dinner with the british prime minister because he wanted to prove how quickly secret service will leap to save his life since his doctor forbade him to drink coffee ever again
- how quickly secret service leaped to save the american president's life from coffee
- billie's entire shtick
- eidra and stuart's entire shtick
- hal getting high as fuck every chance he gets
- hal being told he doesn't have access to a private car so he decides to go for a walk to deliberately nearly get his by a car because he conveniently forgot which side of the road british cars drive and thus commandeering a personal police escort
- nobody understanding kate's chicken scratch
- austin and kate's entire shtick
- eidra's hatred of surprises
- hal being literally unable to get it up for anyone except his wife

- eidra being unable to compliment a man like the feminist icon she is
- the russian ambassador's entire shtick
All of this. I watched this show due to liking "Madame Secretary" and I am definitely not disappointed (so far) by what I'm seeing. Also back into watch shows like this as a result so.
