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

I liked that Teddy dressed for the occasion.

The Geiss headlines were my favorite part.

was trying to remember what made me lol so hard and it was teddy ruxpin

I'm surprised so many thought this one was weak-- I liked it alot. Also Gore's recycled joke was tops.

gore was noticeably better than last time he was on - guy was totally thinking, practicing

teddy ruxpin killed me.

Al Gore was actually pretty good. He very nearly made me laugh.

Astronaut Mike Dexter!

"We all see the little black boy in the corner, right?"

"What have children ever done for us?"
"Well they make all our shoes and wallets."

Wonder if they're going to introduce a "Lemon and Donaghy attempt to have a baby together" plotline.

i like the lack of plotline this time around. the new cast member is integrated and comically bountiful, whereas liz adopting a kid felt kinda tacked on and awkward.

also liz throwing her bag into the ceiling was the funniest.

whereas liz adopting a kid felt kinda tacked on and awkward.

as did the whole Milton Green storyline which they conveniently forgot about.

Just noticed that when Jack is talking to THE PROBLEM SOLVERS and Jenna says "Are you as turned on as I am?", Tracy is nodding his head. :)

trivial pursuit the movie!

I hope that's a reference to the Monopoly movie.

"...but i can't because i've got this little d-bag here"
"i know what that means"
"and YET you won't tell me"

"Yes, but I can't shut the flue, so it smells like Burger King during the day and Cinnabon all night."

"Holding up one finger to get someone to be quiet? He invented that."

wasn't there something else where he attributed a Godfather quote to Don Geiss with a copyright date the year before? I have to watch the episode again...

making you an offer you cannae refute

I liked the "Jack's going to tell you what to do next" throw from the aerobics video.

Someone tell me about this "sun tea" system. I am curious.

it just occurred to me that there's no jewish characters on this show. kind of odd considering it's a new york comedy abotu the entertainment biz, no?

hornburger?

how do you know there are no jewish characters on the show?

(n/a: i think he's a jew!)

Hey man, where did you learn all these Jewish words?
My manager Harvey Levin!

tracy is jewish--werewolf bar mitzvah

but yeah now that slocks mentions it, i can't think of anyone? there are plenty of lol ny jewish jokes, though, is the thing

Also, Jack's dad (and presumably then Jack to some degree) is Jewish.

...also it seems like half the jew jokes made are "haha they run the entertainment industry" and yet are nowhere to be seen, which maybe makes them funnier? like they're mentioned as lawyers/agents but never overtly present?

have you ever laughed at that "joke"

no, not really

i mean basically i agree with you? i think it's slightly weird that there are no jewish characters and yet the show IS peppered with rabbi/agent/bar mitzvah/ny jokes. was just wondering if that was ~intentional~

I have! I laughed for like 2 minutes at Fey's, "Why don't you save us the time and just say Jew" joke.

oy fey

josh was jewish i think

rip

exactly

30 rock people spotted by me: josh, twofer, jack

i know you're listing people by their character names but it feels weird to me that you saw Alec Baldwin somewhere but just said you saw "Jack"

you don't know jack

josh (lonny) was my friend's roommate for a long time

probably brought up here but i totally didn't know/remember that jane k. was the cousin of "daddy says i'm the best" fame from Vacation! watching it tonight on t.v. they change the line to "science teacher". but the line is also totally proto-30 rock for real!

Is it on this week?

Nope. They're re-running the Office wedding episode then some "People of the Year" special.

Jane K looks like Charlotte Coleman there. :(

You wrote a lot for Tracy Morgan’s character. How was that?
The first day I met him, I had a small Afro, and he was like, “You know, if you want to get dreads, you should get your girl pregnant and put the placenta in your hair.” And I was like, “What the fuck … are you talking about?” But from that point on, I thought, Any brain that can make that up needs to be studied.

He's Toofer given a hipster makeover.
