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

i thought she was plenty funny in this one & the generalissmo stuff

i thought she was good last night. not reall surprinsing it might take someone a little bit to fit in to the flow of the show.

"don't tell me you're one of those 'convenient catholics' that only goes to church every sunday"

they are having fun w/LOL puerto ricans jokes

see also all the pregnant ladies

we'll be here til morning

i thought that was more of a lol-catholic joek

same here

i lol'ed at all the "too soon" jokes

...spun out of lol puerto ricans be catholic?? the two sorta go hand in hand in a situation like that

alma alvarez ... anita alvarez ... anna alvarez

anita alvarez

Cook County state's attorney joke? Nah...

i thought she was plenty funny in this one & the generalissmo stuff

I thought so too, she was really great in this episode.

the mcdonald's promo stuff was a little eh but whatever keeps the show on the air i guess

not to mention the sudden and rapid proliferation of APPLE IPHONES on all NBC sitcoms (well, the office at least)

It was not as bad as Pepsuber on snl. xp

not to be all luddite but i was messing with my friend's iphone over the weekend and my first thought was "this is how fancy phones look in the movies, not in real life wtf"

Pepsuber was funny when it was on SNL, and hilarious the next day when Pepsi used a fucking McGruber sketch as an actual Super Bowl ad.

the mcdonalds stuff was better than the wink-winky waynes world biting snapple jokes in the 1st season

also mcdonald's sundae is so clearly their best dessert, fuck a mcflurry

^^truth bomb

I like their soft serve cone the best...especially the last little crunchy bit at the very bottom of the cone!

Exactly how bad should I feel about recognizing exactly which UWS McDonald's they shot that bit at?

P.S.: Corncobs

pretty bad

the fact that you guys admit to eating mcdonalds desserts troubles me

it's probably a myth but i grew up hearing that in wisconsin mcdonald's serves real ice cream instead of chemical concoctions, because of the dairy lobby.

i like mcdonalds's shakes

i don't know what was so funny about the sixth sense line but it killed me. maybe it was the delivery.

I dunno about the shakes, but McD's ice cream is yogurt based and is almost calorie-free.

yeah, the "liz on the toilet" bit was sitcom 101 but the execution killed me (her desperate look realizing she couldn't reach the door herself + jon hamm's delivery of "oh, too soon!")

for me what made the Sixth Sense line was that it was supposed to be this super high class restaurant, but the waiter made a kind of mean joke to a customer and seemed kind of immediately embarrassed and regretful about it.

someone told me that mcd's shakes have CLAY in them :-/

i believe it

PLUNDER lol

"i dunno, have you ever put a doughnut in the microwave?"

would never want to have this dessert at Serendipity, would totally have this dessert at a restaurant named Plunder.

"topped with 25 karat gold"

Once customers have savored the delicacy, they get to keep the golden spoon and $300 Baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet.

So the actual sundae costs less than $700. Reasonable!

fuck the goblet, pour it in my hand for $700

when are you gonna axe out that sexy mr magoo

^ this & patron saint of judgmental statues made me lol

Imagine a dessert for two, Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream in a pool of cognac, drizzled in the world's most expensive chocolate, Amadei Porcelana, covered with shaved white, black, and clear truffles, topped with edible 25-carat gold leaf.

^ forgot about the clear truffles

Prayer bit was so so brilliant.

"Clear truffles" -- there is a density of jokes in this thing that makes me want to pause after each line and repeat the words to myself. I'd guess this is one of the things that keeps it from being more popular, actually -- it doesn't even give you time to laugh at the jokes. Somewhere between the moment of getting it and the moment of it really sinking in, another joke comes along and supplants it.

(There were at least a dozen things in this last episode that I thought were super-hilarious; I doubt I could remember more than four of them now.)

the awesome thing about this show is that it seems like no matter how amny people love this, there's no one who comes in with the seemingly-inevitable "it's not all that" challops afaik (except that tracy morgan hater a couple months ago who was essentially just trolling)

yeah. the closest anyone gets to complaining is "omg, this one episode had about 2 minutes where it wasn't as good as the impossibly high standards i hold it to, it was just 'very good' instead."

"I know love at first sight when I see it. I saw it when I met Angie, and I saw it the first time Dotcom laid eyes on Grizz's fiancee."

oh and as everyone already pointed out "stop showing off Dot Com" is just O_O
