This pre-recorded video, which kicked off Saturday’s annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, begins with the real-life veep calling up his fictional counterpart while sporting his signature aviators. Soon, he picks her up in an over-the-top yellow sports car and they set off on a night of debauchery that includes sneaking into the White House, binging on ice cream (guess which health-conscious White House resident busts them), getting matching tattoos and changing Washington _Post_ headlines. Bonus: Louis-Dreyfus manages to throw in a pretty excellent _House of Cards_ diss. Additional bonus: we get cameos from Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner (or, as Louis-Dreyfus calls him, J-Dawg.) Now, if only someone would turn this seven-minute clip into a feature-length film. Seriously, we would totally watch that. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/87040/julia-louis-dreyfus-joe-biden-veep-parody/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/87040/julia-louis-dreyfus-joe-biden-veep-parody/"},"headline":"Watch Joe Biden and Julia Louis-Dreyfus Get Up to Vice-Presidential Mischief","datePublished":"2014-05-04T14:06:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:23.475Z","description":"One of the highlights of the White House Correspondents' Dinner was this parody video starring the real-life VP and HBO's fictional veep, Selina Meyer","url":"https://time.com/87040/julia-louis-dreyfus-joe-biden-veep-parody/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Joe Biden","politics","HBO","White House","celebrity","Veep","White House Correspondents Dinner"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf17b06bb97c0c6a/69868dbf1eebf71d8e370b99/screen-shot-2014-05-04-at-9-36-59-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf17b06bb97c0c6a/69868dbf1eebf71d8e370b99/screen-shot-2014-05-04-at-9-36-59-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-05-04 at 9.36.59 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/87040/julia-louis-dreyfus-joe-biden-veep-parody/","name":"Watch Joe Biden and Julia Louis-Dreyfus Get Up to Vice-Presidential Mischief"}}]}] ```
