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

YES

Best half hour I've spent in front of a TV in ages. Last 10 min = genius. Slapped The Office down hard.

okay everyone who says this was the best ep of the season is OTFM

Dunno about that, I've only seen the show a handful of times, but it was funny as hell, and funnier than any other episodes I've seen this season. Not as funny as "Gold Case" (or whatever that one was actually called), but still...

so what part of "best ep of this season" did you disagree with?

Thank Cthulhu I had this episode DVR'ed. I watched it again immediately.

Kenneth: "And your landlord called. He said it’s not your toilet, it’s you."
Liz: That’s his opinion."

CAT ANUS! CAT ANUS! CAT ANUS!

HEY LIZ, HOW'S YOUR TELESCOPE?

HOW'S YOUR MOM'S PILL ADDICTION?

re: Miss Precious

Ummm, none of it? My reading comprehension is very low this time of night.

I thought "OTFM" meant "fuck you and your wrong ideas dickweed".

Great ep, but

"OF COURSE WE ARE [important]! WE'RE ACTORS! WITHOUT US, HOW WOULD PEOPLE KNOW WHO TO VOTE FOR?"

I have to admit that this line jerked me out of the show, o. nate style, and I imagined the writers sitting around a table. Didn't ring true as something Jenna would say (and kind of a tired joke). I don't mind artifice and unrealistic characters, but any time I'm suddenly thinking of the writers is a time a show has failed.

That totally seems like something Jenna would say, imo.

Aye. Plus I love Jenna's immediate followup...

"Attention is what give us power. If someone threatens that, you have to put a stop to that! Wait, who are you worried about? Is it Alison from wardrobes baby? What is up with that thing? So she can put her foot in her mouth, so can I! You know where the big dogs around here. Hey, let’s go throw a big tantrum about the air conditioning."

Anyone else really surprised by those odd network cameos by Diane Neal and Janel Maloney? It was kind of like what they had Stephanie March on back in season 1. Like... what?

You said my beauty spot was like God pooped on my face!

when jenna broke out into song in the elevator
when jack said i'm larry braverman
when kenneth said this is bigger than my apartment

They have had an insane amount of actors from SVU.

I wish there was a Princeton reunion this weekend -- wipe that smug smile of Michelle Obama's face...

the 3 b's beers, boats, and buds

<3 jenna

best ep of the season by a longshot...and that's saying a lot. i've already watched it twice :)

nickn, that's precisely the kind of stuff that i love. v v self referential/pop culture refrerential etc. like "grad students are the worst". THE BEST

"I would've gone to my high school reunion but the boat I was educated on sank."

xxxxp
i'm aware, but the dialog, esp in the fist part of it, was almost exactly the same as the F&G scene

where is jaymc

at first i was thinking "oh, that would make sense since paul feig directed it", but no, he directed last night's office episode (although imdb says he directed "Cleveland" for 30 Rock)

the whole opening sequence with cathy. the rattling of the keys to get her to look at the camera, the giant stuffed unicorn, the 'either its a weather event or...!'

I want to go to there

that's halfway to an ilx meme

one day liz lemon will say "you never her" and this thread will implode

yeah the girl i watched this with instantly took up "i want to go there" as her new catchphrase

someone needs to gif jenna trying to put her foot in her mouth.

where is jaymc

I haven't seen this episode yet.

I know, dude. I'm at work.

so?

if you piece together all of our quotes/catchphrases you can recreate the episode without hulu.

^so true

Dove age-fighting acne cream

this thread is making me so mad, all i can do is dance.

and he's been happily married and they raised 2 dogs!

next stop, Kansas City!

the whole vietnamese joke thing was sort of confounding.

when you see the detour sign, don't go that way, it's a trap

^^

what is this, the local?

this morning some guy got in the elevator and pressed the button to the second floor and i wanted to use that line

oh wait it's "i want to go to there", i knew "i want to go there" wasn't quite funny enough.

the whole vietnamese joke thing was sort of confounding.

it kind of made sense if you've ever been to a rural area that's inexplicably been taken over by an immigrant population. friends of mine used to live outside portland maine in a cambodian neighborhood. (or was it filipino? can't remember)

i just googled 'vietnamese hat' so i could remember the hotel clerk's line but non la is not right is it

Whitehaven ain't White no more.

i thought that whole sequence was v. funny ya

Jenna making Kenneth FEEL THE PAIN tops YHWH. She's really killing it this season.

so the third time i watched this, you can totally tell that in the first "kelsey winthrop" scene, liz can clearly be heard saying "i dont know kelsey hows your moms pill addiction?", just really fast. i fucking love that.
