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.

best part of the last episoe = tracy's bald, less fat bodyguard doing the robot while tracy shows the meat machine to jack

I think this is the third episode in a row where someone steals the page's sandwich.

I can't tell you how psyched I was when I checked my DVR and saw that yesterday's ep was called "THE RURAL JUROR."

The what?

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.

I wept when I heard that one.

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

― A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Saturday, 13 January 2007 08:46 (6 years ago) Permalink

A few weeks ago, when Tina Fey's character discovers that Morgan's character isn't illiterate, as she'd thought, Morgan gets caught reading the op-ed page: "Damn, George Will just keeps getting more conservative!"

What was the Maureen Dowd joke? I missed part of the episode.

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

Or Chevy Chase -- "no, you're not supposed to actually blow on it..."

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.

Dowd joke also a bit of a dig at Sorkin (she's one of his famous exes-- Lahti character on his show is based on her (just like Christian lady is based on ex Kristin Chenoweth... guess he's got ex issues)).

I have asked about this before but we are all supposed to get that the skinny white guy is a mock-up of Jimmy Fallon, right? Hence the impersonations and overall annoyingness.

"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.

― Øystein, Saturday, 2 February 2013 20:49 (4 months ago) Permalink

Why would you think we were trying to use it as a programming term rather than as a comedy term?
