A new 30 Rock thread because I can't find the old one

"troll the Internet"

BAN TINA FEY

MIND GRAPES

SHUT IT DOWN

"Ice Cream C0hen"

Oh man, if only we could still change user names. :(

Will Arnett killed it in his cameo too.

ive been rewatching season 1 all day.

totes holds up.

previews on the NBC site

thanks PHONE

how long was that marathon on Bravo yesterday? I only caught the last couple hours. I was starting to get tired of all the quoting, but if doing it more means Tina Fey will google this thread, then so be it.

"You're not even listening, are you? Poop. Monkey butt."

i accidentally ended up buying the dvd set in two parts - am i missing loads of great extras from the first season set?

dont think he knows what a commentary track is supposed to be actually.
tina fey: "i listened to tracy morgan's commentary for our dvd and there's no evidence he's actually watching it."

"You're not even listening, are you? Poop. Monkey butt."

That is one of my favorite lines!

"Kenneth Parcell, do you take this ring ... and sell it in the Jewish part of midtown and use the money to get us a Nintendo Wii"

"Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!"

OH IT'S WORSE FROM BEHIND! 8[

"You guys should have a talking like this contest."

"You're even more powerful than I thought"

NEW SEASON TONITE OMG

I AM GOING TO MISS IT BECAUSE OF WORK

:(:(:(:(::(:(:(:(::((::::::(

I've sort of planned my night around it.

"i don't want my kids to have to go to college"

re-watching it is so rewarding. i am convinced this show is totally brilliant. tina fey is a comedy genius,.

Have you got FOUR MILLION DOLLARS just lying around?

I want "MILF Island" to be real. ;_;

the explanation of MILF Island slayed me.

NO I DONT WANT ALL THOSE GUEST STARS! That's the kind of thing that ruins tv shows.

So, Season 2. When the backlash begins.

Well, I have more faith in 30 Rock's writers than I do in any other comedy show, so it may turn out alright.

Celebrity guest stars are usually the first indication of a quality slide, though. :(

or the indication of a season premiere.

Wasn't there also a Tina quote about "making the plots less complex" this year?

Did you see the "coming up on 30 Rock" clips? I didn't mind the Seinfeld cameo at all, but...oh whatever, I'm sure it'll be fine. xp

if the other cameos are as funny as the Seinfeld one I'm fine with those other ones. the one scene w/ him and Jack was hysterical (esp. the line about him being in the country in Europe that only rich people know about), and I always love the potshots they take at NBC's increasingly awful ratings stunts (which is to say, celebrity walk-ons are really one of the least embarrassing ratings grabs this show can do, especially since they fit perfectly in the context of a show ABOUT show business).

also ffs, as if complex plots are the reason I watch 30 Rock!?

chocolate rain shoutout, i like it

25% funny

oh "Chocolate Rain" is way less than 25% funny.

chocolate rain not nearly as funny as twofer.

come on, it's like the easy joke you've heard a million times, it's like a pantomime thing

I saw an ep last night. I'm terribly confused. Must be my pregnancy skewing my judgement? It seemed funny but I didn't really roffle. :-(

The roffles don't really come until you catch up to individual characters' ticks and the pacing of the dialogue. By your fourth or fifth episode, you'll be howling.

I'm not really worried about the celebrity cameos, considering that the first season featured dozens of them. And Will Arnett's coming back!

too much reliance on the tired tina find a man for nonlaughs. but some great lines. tracy was in form and jack face-down on the floor was pretty funny.

MILF Island was incredible, and "Oh no! Did a Korean person die?!?" made me choke on my burrito. I see no evidence that this is not going to remain exactly as funny as it's always been.

shaky start

i really did not laugh all that much :(

I liked it but AV Club is OTM.

i think it will get better. alec baldwin and tracy morgan are just too good. seinfeld was kind of lame, i think that was part of my problem w/this. but i thought it was still pretty good!

seinfeld seemed like he was trying hard to be not-funny. best part was jack's summer reality shows.

country in europe only rich people know about=very very funny

kenneth doing seinfeld them in elevator lol

theme

that Rabin thing is the height of Comic Book Guy handwringing. "omg the characters were slightly different in the season premiere, they must be like that in EVERY FUTURE EPISODE NOW"

The look on Kenneth's face as the elevator door closed with Seinfeld in it was 100% wonderful.
