'you know an arsenio billingham?' 'no!'

Ha this was my favorite line

Aw fuck I can't believe I missed this. Fucking "friends", coming over to "visit". Gah. A'torrenting I will go.

tracy morgan trying to convey medical authority is on my list of funniest comic set-ups

― and what (ooo), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:19 (6 years ago) Permalink

PLEASE somebody tell me the line Dr. Spaceman said before that, before Tracey asked him if it does.

My other favorite Parnell moment...when Alec asks him to sponsor a product, he just says "sure" THEN asks what it does.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:20 (6 years ago) Permalink

"Who's your financial advisor?"
"Grizz."

Grizz sadly saying, "WorldCom, man. WorldCom."

And later Tracy: "What is it with you and telecommunications?"

parnell is like the funniest dude on the planet

― and what (ooo), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:23 (6 years ago) Permalink

Dan, the exchange:

Tracy Morgan: (with mouthful of foodball) "Dr. Spaceman, is it true that bread eats away at your brain?" (POINTING TO HEAD GENIUS!)
Chris Parnell: "We have no way of knowing, because the powerful bread lobby won't let me complete my research"
(audience gasps)
TM: "Well, folks...(etc.)

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:23 (6 years ago) Permalink

oh, you wanted the line before all that. Tracy says the foodball is delicious, and Chris Parnell walks in: "and it's healthy! Hi, I'm Dr. Leo Spaceman. I'm a working physician with a degree from the Ho Chi Mih city school of medicine."

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:27 (6 years ago) Permalink

Yup! But it wasn't Dr. Spacemen, what's his name?

Did Whoopi selling the machine in a foreign country remind anyone of Arrested Developements Corn Baller?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:46 (6 years ago) Permalink

he just said his name the way it's pronounced: "spuh-CHI-mun"

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:47 (6 years ago) Permalink

it's spelled "Spaceman" but properly pronounced "Spuh-CHEM-an." Tracy always says "Spaceman," though.

i fucking LOVE this show, and i love the shit out of tracy morgan, but...

when i saw him do standup a couple years ago he bombed, entirely, and spent about 10 minutes talking about wiping (anal sex) blood off of his dick with the window curtains before leaving.

actually that sounds sort of funny, but it was a lot less funny at the time.

laugh all you want, 97% of American didn't get the Maureen Dowd joke

― tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Saturday, 13 January 2007 05:15 (6 years ago) Permalink

with the ratings it gets it would be a prime suspect fort cancelation if it weren't for the way it cozies up to NBC corporate culture -- and being a product of Lorne Michaels, it's relatively safe, especially with Sorkin's show tanking and getting a pity extension.

― tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Saturday, 13 January 2007 05:17 (6 years ago) Permalink

don't get me wrong, it's the only sitcom i watch. even when i come home too late and miss The Office, this show destroys me.

97 percent? Maureen Dowd *is* a bestselling author. Sure, I have a crush on her, what of it?

What was the Maureen Dowd joke?

Baldwin on the phone: "You hang up, Maureen ... no, you hang up ... okay, on three ... one, two, three ... no, I didn't hang up either, Maureen ... wait, Maureen, you're breaking up ... I lost the call." [proceeds to have whole other conversation, then turns to assistant] "Get me Maureen Dowd back on the phone."

― nabisco (nabisco), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:21 (6 years ago) Permalink

that reminds me one of my favourite arrested development jokes, "you're supposed to say 'away'".

one-sided phone jokes are a very fertile source of humour! ask bob newhart

― do i have to draw you a diaphragm (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 14 January 2007 03:19 (6 years ago) Permalink

I have every episode of this downloaded, and have watched every one at least twice, save for the first couple, which I think everyone agrees aren't as good.

Anyway. Top five moments so far:

1. Dennis' speech to Liz. "I cried like a big dumb homo." And "You have chosen to abort me." (I miss Dennis.)
2. "I have two ears and a heart, don't I?"
3. Tracy falls asleep on Conan. It's all about the buildup to it.
4. "I already have a drink. Do you think he'll buy me mozzarella sticks?"
5. Pretty much every line delivered by Alec Baldwin. But maybe especially, "I know what I know. Next time I see Putin I'm going to kick his teeth in."
4.

Lyrics:

The Irma Luhrman-Merman murder
Turned the bird's word lurid
The whir and the purr of a twirler girl
She would the world were demurer
The insurer's allure
For valor were pure Kari Wuhrer
One fervid whirl over her turgid error
Rural juror
Rural juror
I will never forget you
Rural juror
I'll always be glad I met you
Rural juror

I will never forget you
Rural juror
I'll always be glad I met you
Rural juror (x2)
These were the best days of my flerm.

This was so great. Probably the best show of the past decade. I really loved how Jenna only got sad when they were taking away her mirror. That shot of her looking at the mirror as it was being taken off the wall, with the weird subtle shifting perspective framing her in it, was really quite a beautiful way to show her world crashing down around her.

one probably shouldn't bust out the dictionary defense without proper vetting since 2a is the definition being used here (ie, recall as a noun), particularly with the synonym list for recall containing "flash back (to)", "hark back (to)" and "harken back (to)"

"Callback" is already an established term in computer programming, and it does not mean what you're using it to mean, you jerks!
Great ending -- surprised at how glad I am that it ended this well.
Jack's realization that he could've had a hot spank-giggling secretary instead of Jonathan made me laugh a bit too much.
Also, Tracy's "cut the bs" reply.
