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

On Friends, Ross had a monkey the very first season.

Maybe it was a secret ode to "Must See TV" past?

On Friends, Chandler farted ("The One Where Chandler Farted")
On Wings, Joe went to a bachelor party ("A Stand Up Kind of Guy")
On Cheers, Sam had a nutsack (multiple episodes)

Any Golden Girls episodes where Blanche dated a man who was married because he could drive his own car?

"The One Where Chandler Farted"

LOL

On Cheers, Sam had a nutsack (multiple episodes)
seems like such a woody thing!

This reminds me. They need to find a way to bring back Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer back for reprisal guest spots.

If they could get the entire "Friends" cast back on the same episode, I would lol at their mastery of logistics.

who's gonna play Jack's real Dad?

seconded xp

who's gonna play Jack's real Dad?

Alan Alda's listed as the guest star.

Which, if that's how it turns out, will be hilarious because I can almost guarantee Jack's made an Alan Alda joke at some point over the last 3 seasons.

Take it to the jaymc/Nabisco OCD thread!

what the what?? awesome!

Gene Hackman would've been cool

the thing where buscemi looks likes he's going to get into a car but instead mounts a bicycle located just behind was pretty tropey, too.

Psst guys, sometimes its just a lazily written joek and not a reference to 'sitcom x' tropes.

they did the 'Jesus' joke again in the previous episode. "You're gonna be tempted like Jesus in the wilderness...Jesus is my stereo guy and The Wilderness is a club I took him to once"

That one must have been self-conscious though!

ya it must be a reference to the way sitcoms repeat themselves... so smart

possible a reference to "jesus" in the bible as well?? what a great show.

They should do a show where Liz recycles a bunch of jokes to meet a deadline that is full of recycled jokes and plotlines.

i just want to know what kind of water cooler ~doesn't~ work the way the one on the show does.

all of them. The water doesn't come out of the bottle until the seal is broken on a nob on top of the cooler where it is put on to. So she couldn't possibly spill it on herself unless she put it on and then took it back off. Which she doesn't do.

OMG

jim, you are wrong

everyone shut up about water bottles

ok, maybe you have crazy water coolers in America. Good luck USA.

But if we really want to get into the details of this... a dude I work with had never changed a water bottle before and had to replace one a couple weeks ago. Now knowing how to do it, he actually pulled the seal off before putting it on the holder, spilling quite a bit of water in the process.

jim is right

good luck usa

i must have spent literally years doing it wrong then---i was instructed that you broke the seal first, and then had to carefully put the thing on top, like putting oil in yr car

xposts!

(haha so tempted to lock the thread)

wtf is this seal you're talking about? That's some future level shit.

we're never gonna survive unless our water bottles are a little crazy

jim, 30 rock takes place in the USA. sorry you don't get the joke.

rip jim

really want to make a painfully-labored "don't break the seal!" joke but can't make it really come together

jim's never had sex with a virgin?

older water coolers didn't have the little punchy-thingy that allowed you to mount the jug without spillage. newer ones do.
and jesus is a refrence to the Big Lebowski (steve buscemi - cummon people!)

get a fkn seal, usa

ffs leaders of the free world and w/not a seal betw them

really want to make a painfully-labored "don't break the seal!" joke but can't make it really come together
