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

"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. :(

http://nymag.com/movies/features/62376/ article posted on the community thread w/ donald glover, one of the former writers.

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.

yes, he is black

I was going more for the 'nerdy comedy show writer that doesn't wear trucker hats and have a huge gut' angle, but point taken.

there was a studio 60 episode about it iirc

black people are funny when they aren't ghetto says aaron sorkin

still dying at Spaceman's "now its surgery so don't eat beforehand, because i'll have a big breakfast waiting for you"

I had no idea the Community guy was a writer for 30 Rock.

Seems to be a lot more performer/writer crossover on TV these days. That's a good thing, I think.

"we're like Ross and Rachel, except not gay"

Is Dennis coming back this season?

cleaned-up versions of Garrison Keillor stories.

THIS IS HOW I CRY NOW!

hi-def

i thought her new haircut looked cute!

fringe was a mess

and yes omg hi-def. just a shame they didn't put more people in front of it, would have loved to have seen what frank, toofer, jenna and tracy look like

also lol at non speaking writers

was that Danny Baldwin when Alec walked by hi-def?

I think it was a clip from an old Alec movie.

I would like a kenneth muppet, or failing that a muppets 30 rock cross over episode.
