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

yeah if we could find the old thread there were tons of people going 'oh lordy i don't know about this show'
I think those tons of people were you, Matt.
30 Rock

um after doing due diligence you are RONG, are u now james REDD IN THE FACE GET IT

i liked the thing where tracy was like 'i know what me and kenneth has looks perfect on the outside, but it's work, damn it! it's work.'

also "$4,000 ham napkin"

yes!

but those two moments were at the end of the episode. the rest was making me sit there going 'when do i get to laugh?!'

"Kenneth Parcell, will you take this ring...and sell it in the Jewish part of midtown and use the money to get us a Ninteno Wii?"
"Yes, Yes, a thousand times Yes!!!"

"I did a fake survey."
"You did the fake survey?!"
"What is the deal with my life?!"
"Are you imitating me?"
"No! This is what I sound like when I cry."
"I think I'm a little insulted."
"You're insulted?! I'm crying!"

That scene was funny on the commercials but kinda random and flat in the show (probably because I had seen so many commercials).

one-sided conversation...

"How old are you?

"Uh huh... how much do you weight>

"Oh. When was the last time you had intercourse...?"

"America's Next Top Pirate!"

How much less effective would Arrested Development have been if Jason Bateman were just as screwed up as the rest of his family? With Donaghy and Liz Lemon both coming apart at the seams, it fell upon Pete Hornberger to ground the show in common sense, but he was largely absent from this episode.

this dude is totally wrong! AD got steadily funnier as it revealed how crazy bateman actually was

Art Director credit for this show = Peter Baran

"you can be freaky-deaky and do data entry."

"She needs to lose thirty pounds or gain sixty. Anything inbetween has no place in television."

"Women your age are more likely to mauled at the zoo than get married."
"Good to see you. Bye!"

Jack sniffing that picture was funny, but the fact that Liz has it in her office is awesome.

liz is single and old subplots = not funny anymore

i still laughed hard in this episode tho

guys, Tracy had all the funniest moments this episode, right?

how many years have you known me?
one.
then you know I like to minister to transvestite prostitutes.
I did not know that, actually.
It's true; he doesn't mess with them, he just tries to put them through computer school.

i dunno jack was pretty lol too, esp him smelling the picture

liz was kind of a dud this ep tho

Tracy has the funniest moments every episode.

My favorite part of the episode is when Seinfeld suggested he'd buy NBC and Donaghy says, "Yeah, like you have seven million dollars just laying around..."

still laughing at "oh no, did a korean person die?"

guys, Tracy had all the funniest moments this episode, right?

totally.

"who's gonna write my blogs?"

it did feel a bit 'off' somehow -- it's not usually that meta --but there were a lot of lols to be had.

"kill screen" hat

"...and they mistook 'shim' for Mrs. Jordan, yes ma'am."

while the walk 'n' talk is a film-structure standard, I wonder if the walk 'n' talk to start the show was another slap at Sorkin...

I'm a REAL good sex person! I know ALL the different ways!

WEREWOLF BAR MITZVA

BOYS: BECOME MEN

MEN: BECOME WOLVES!

oh you fucking beat me!

I've NEVER laughed that hard.

Seriously I almost passed out.

You Do the Meth! == best

much better 2nd episode!

Blürg desk

Dr. Spaceman, btw, reminds me how much I love and miss Parnell. What was that tossed away line "you know science shows that while humans crave food, they don't really need it."

and Will Arnet responding to Jack introducing the young wrestler...

"like, with other guys?

Someone please put "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" on YouTube so I can watch it 8213712 times in a row k thx

dr. spaceman is one of my favorite television characters of the past three or four years.

the scene from last episode where he emerges from jack's hospital room w/ blood all over him= classic.

MIND GRAPES

started yesterday in england, ch5. some great lines, none of which i can remember. oh um.

Season 1 debuted in the UK last night, but at 10.45 on C5. 700,000 viewers = 6%.

http://media.guardian.co.uk/overnights/story/0,,2189808,00.html

oh god JAPANESE PORN STAR DIET

loved the mind grapes callback.

"she called my vanity license plate 'inscrutable'!!!"

that was ace!

i'm much happier with this episode. also "this grilled cheese has mayonnaise in it WHAT!?"

The stoners I watched this with were trying to sound out what the license plate said. :> It's inscrutable!

I thought it was funny that they were already pimping the "Me Want Food" merch in the lower 3rd ads before they introduced the phrase on the show.

that was meta to the maxxx

and despite my bleatings earlier i agree this episode was better

my favuorite character is grrrrrriz
