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.

And no, that's not Eugene Mirman.

Bread is one of the worst things in the world.

Big runner up: everything said by Tracy Morgan. "I once tried to make mashed potatoes with laundry detergent!"

"Those shoes are definitely bi-curious."

My fav line:

lemon: "You're wearing a TUXEDO?"

baldwin: "it's after 6, i'm not a farmer"

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)).

― sydz (sydz), Monday, 15 January 2007 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I did not know that.

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.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I had to re-watch the Meat Machine infomercial at least 4 times before I could stop laughing enough at one joke to hear the next.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost - Yeah, I've thought that too about skinny dude as Jimmy Fallon character.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

the way tracy chews that meat and talks is great

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

skinny as alterna-fallon, also check

― m@p (plosive), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 00:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Hence the impersonations and overall annoyingness.

also they made him really dumb.

i enjoy his ray romano

(I think) no one mentioned yet how hilariously shit the TGS skits continue to be:

"No, when Paris Hilton makes out with the bear, the bear should act like he's into it."

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 01:21 (seventeen years ago) link

"tracy to the stage for 'pull your own wisdom teeth'"

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:00 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, Baldwin is about to get the Golden Globe

― tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:22 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck yeah i'm right

― tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:22 (seventeen years ago) link

It only just occurred to me that NBC's entire Thursday lineup was nominated.

Buck Henry is a writer on 30 Rock?

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:24 (seventeen years ago) link

"Lemme tell ya about 20 year olds: half of them are 16."

― Dean Winters (rogermexico), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 03:17 (seventeen years ago) link

hah! I was like "buck henry?!?!". Makes such good sense.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 05:27 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah!

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 05:32 (seventeen years ago) link

He's not credited as a writer anywhere that I can find, but it would be unsurprising if he acted as a consultant, editor, polisher, etc, and threw in a joke now and again. He's a comedy writing God, and still pretty close to SNL, I imagine.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 07:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I just learned from IMDB that he co-directed Heaven Can Wait. I did not know that.

And of course there's The Graduate.

"Ben, this all sounds a little half-baked."
"No, it's completely baked."

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 07:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I think he later claimed that Beatty brought him because he knew Julie Christie would be mad at him before the shooting was over, so he would need Buck to give her direction.

"I want you to ride me as hard as you can." = Tobias Funke moment.

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 02:36 (seventeen years ago) link

aw balls, I forgot this show was on

― Bernard Snowy (sixteen sergeants), Friday, 19 January 2007 02:50 (seventeen years ago) link

LMFAO at the "Goldcase" coda. Tears.

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:01 (seventeen years ago) link

and Kenneth remains unfazed

lol at Brian Williams' dressing room

The egg in the underwear + the look on Baldwins face

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:21 (seventeen years ago) link

also, cleaning "Katie Couric Sucks" off the wall

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoever said this show can't be cancelled because it's too soaked in NBC corporate culture was OTM.

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I laughed until I cried when Tracey went nuts and used his shoe as a telephone. "Yes, I am having problems with my cable television. Yes, I will hold." It was all in the enunciation.

Anyone seen a torrent of episode 11 yet?

― caek (caek), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:30 (seventeen years ago) link

We just watched episode 11. Give it 4 hours.

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, right. I thought it was yesterday. Thanks.

― caek (caek), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I am pretty well convinced after tonight that this is the best show on tv

Tracy's song about Christmas wishes shooting out of your eyes is quite possibly the most absurdly hilarious thing I've ever heard in my life.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 04:49 (seventeen years ago) link

shooting LOVE

― Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:21 (seventeen years ago) link

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Christmas love? Whatever, it's still funny.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:24 (seventeen years ago) link
