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

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

no it took me five seconds to find "eyeroll .gif"

that it was tina was just icing

i really want an animgif of cathy opening her mouth to reveal the toy car and then closing it again

how do you make these animation things direct from tv show? tutorial please.

oh man loving these gifs

i used adobe premiere to make the liz muppet one above - not sure if you can do it with windows movie maker. the less movement there is the better they come out (due to the frame rate reduction).

i crop the avi in quicktime, import it into imovie, export each frame as a gif, and then use some shitty command line thing to join the frames as an animated gif

hahaha murphy brown is held as superior feminist comedy example hahaha
c'mon no love for captain janeway?

This thread is always so bizarre. I am glad to know that new water coolers have implemented self-punching seals to deal with the inversion/spilling issue, but they used to just have a screw-on cap, so you had to tilt them on very deftly. Also I don't recall any Jesus jokes beyond the stereo-guy one, but umm I don't think that's based on anything more complicated than the fact that there are various Latino men in the U.S. named Jesus (usually not pronounced like the religious figure), and this is traditionally used as an opportunity for funniness among non-Latino Christians (cause that's how we spell the name of the religious figure and all, but then it's also how you spell the name of just like this guy who maybe works on stereos or something).

yeah--thats why i think its probably a reference to "Jesus" from the bible?

yeah, that dude

but if this thread were on ILM I'm sure it would be perceived as a subtle reference to Jesus Jones

jesus jones was my stereophonics guy

no i think it was geronimo jackson!

oh hey guize i know the story arc for the next two weeks' of this show rather randomly ;D

im not sure this writer has ever heard of "self-deprecating humour"

i mean seriously, how insufferable would this show be if liz was smugly right every time

Elaine Benes and Murphy Brown, for example, were strong, feminist-friendly characters and funny, to boot.

This is basically all you need to know about this article.

can't take seriously anyone who deploys "to boot" inna just-folks writing style, generally

http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/6jadByJTDMgi3XzehQ4iuw/l

wow, i wonder if a place that serves both pizza AND po' boys would be wonderful or terrible. they truly are wearing two boots.

great pizza, and po' boys, to boot!

"Elaine Benes and Murphy Brown, for example, were strong, feminist-friendly characters and funny, to boot.
This is basically all you need to know about this article."

hey c'mon elaine was funny -- she's basically an unrepentant amoral Liz. She's Lore to Liz's Data.

the two boots refer to the shape of Italy and the shape of Louisiana!

im not sure this writer has ever heard of "self-deprecating humour"

You would think someone named Weiner would have by now.

Elaine was a great example of the equality of assholism; I don't think that's necessarily aspirational (which is what this article appears to yearn for).

Yeah, the article was like "She made a guy get a vasectomy for her, awesome!" where really it was funny on the basis of being a jerky thing to do.

The most succinct way I can summarize what's weird about that article is that it's a bit like saying that since Cathy always loses to the swimsuit, the comic strip is secretly on the swimsuit's side

(although I do think that there's a level on which "the show" is comfortable enough in this sort of cosmopolitan/liberal worldview that it has fun tweaking it or feinting in the other direction, as I think most cosmopolitan/liberal people do)

yeah exactly i feel like they're doing it for the LOLs
