Did anyone else catch the movie names on the marquee? I can only remember Moonquest: Quest for the Moon, and The President's Wife. One of the other ones was Searching for Emily or something similar. I don't remember.

Please get rid of the writers, lemon, and most importantly, the Floydster.

God no! First, it's cute that she has a relationship, and I like him. Also, my husband will kill you if you get rid of her.

HEY YOU THTUPID JERKTH I'M THOMATH JEFFERTHON

― impudent harlot, Saturday, 14 April 2007 05:52 (nineteen years ago)

the other movies on the marquee were "speaking of emily" and "the boy made of corn"

floyd: "in my mind, the foo fighters song 'best of you' is about your managerial skills."

jack: "lemon. i want to kiss your boyfriend on the mouth."

floyd: "chapter 12!"

(they both laugh)

jack: "what are you drinking?"

floyd: "club soda."

jack: "that's a shame."

― ^@^, Saturday, 14 April 2007 07:45 (nineteen years ago)

the implication of the unexplained chapter 12 joke is really funny!

the torrent site is what i needed. i'm in a mini marathon right now

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Saturday, 14 April 2007 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

I kind of think that when I go back and watch, say, episodes 6-12, they were funnier. More range of characters, more knockabout, less plot. It's still my favorite show though.

― caek, Sunday, 15 April 2007 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

I think I've seen every episode now at least twice, and have found plenty of worthwhile moments in even the weaker ones (The Source Awards, Jack the Writer). My favorite show currently on, easily.

― Sparkle Motion, Sunday, 15 April 2007 02:30 (nineteen years ago)

It just occurred to me how much funnier Dennis was than the Floydster. I kind of forgot about Dennis, and I think at first he was the thing that really sold this show for me.

― Clay, Sunday, 15 April 2007 02:32 (nineteen years ago)

otm...I started watching 30 Rock because I loved Dean Winters on Oz. He was amazing on 30 Rock too. Will Floyd do anything remotely as funny as Dennis's letter to Liz? I think not.

― musically, Sunday, 15 April 2007 02:36 (nineteen years ago)

LISA: I saw the one where he plays, like, five different characters.
TOOFER: "Black Cop / White Cop."
LISA: No.
JOSH: "Who Dat Ninja?"
LISA: No, he was ... god, they all blend together, don't they? He had to pretend to be an old lady.
TOOFER: Yes, yes. He actually says the title at some point...

Off their thinking ... CUT TO:

EXT. DOORWAY A HOUSE - DAY
A clip from one of Lawrence Jordan's movies. He is dressed as a big fat white grandma a la Mrs. Doubtfire. Unseen parties are throwing pies at him.

LAWRENCE: Oh, gracious goodness! You hooligans better watch out!

A pie hits him. He sounds suddenly masculine and black.

LAWRENCE (CONT'D): Cause this honky grandma be trippin!

CUT BACK TO: INT. PETE'S OFFICE

LISA/TOOFER (relieved to remember): "Honky Grandma Be Trippin'."

Haha this basically 30 Rock fan fiction, isn't it? I mean there's a similar scene in the first episode but I just watched it again and it plays out kind of differently.

― 31g, Sunday, 15 April 2007 02:44 (nineteen years ago)

I think that's from the original pilot script linked to upthread (in which Liz is called Lisa).

"I'm having terrible Lemon problems..."

― Sparkle Motion, Sunday, 15 April 2007 03:07 (nineteen years ago)

Oh ok, sorry.

― 31g, Sunday, 15 April 2007 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

You must be having lemon problems yourself.

― Sparkle Motion, Sunday, 15 April 2007 05:05 (nineteen years ago)

i probably just quoted the US equivalent of the 'am i bovvered' sketch but i've just got into this show and love the hell out of it.

― That one guy that quit, Sunday, 15 April 2007 09:14 (nineteen years ago)

haha I would have a 3-way with 2 Jacks.

― nickalicious, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:13 (nineteen years ago)

"Sup flappy butt? You look weird today."

― Kerm, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:33 (nineteen years ago)

i don't want liz and floyd to break up :(
i really like floyd.

― tehresa, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

but i kind of admire that they would do that.

― tehresa, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

I MISSED IT BY DRINKING THROUGH IT

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:37 (nineteen years ago)

i drank through it & it still wasnt very funny :(

― deeznuts, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:38 (nineteen years ago)

:((((((

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:41 (nineteen years ago)

i have nothing to say but happy to see kenan hasn't ruined this episode for me yet

― sanskrit, Friday, 20 April 2007 01:49 (nineteen years ago)

This was the best episode yet, but now I'm afraid of giving spoilers. I'll just say that that Cleveland song -- especially when it changes unexpectedly -- might be my favorite TV moment of the 2000s.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 20 April 2007 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

RIP Floyd u_u

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 03:17 (nineteen years ago)

worst episode ever

dimension 5 i agree completely about the song but floyd can suck my dick

― deeznuts, Friday, 20 April 2007 03:55 (nineteen years ago)

I spent the first half of this thinking the writing was dropping off, but the second half thinking it was terrific.

― nabisco, Friday, 20 April 2007 03:58 (nineteen years ago)

nawww there were a couple memorable lines which ive forgotten because i was drinking (alcohol) but this really was one of the least funny 30 rocks ever

― deeznuts, Friday, 20 April 2007 04:03 (nineteen years ago)

I liked "Gordon from Sesame Street" being part of the Black Whatchamacalit conspiracy and "I have no idea what you're on about you...daft...wanker"

― marmotwolof, Friday, 20 April 2007 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

"We'd all like to flee to the Cleve"

― sous les paves, Friday, 20 April 2007 04:35 (nineteen years ago)

I know it was setting up a later joke, but that "cops in NYC just search random people's bags on the street" thing was very strange.

― The Yellow Kid, Friday, 20 April 2007 05:43 (nineteen years ago)

I think the point it that they search the bags of those entering the subway.

lol @ "The Cleve"!

― musically, Friday, 20 April 2007 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, hence "let's just walk." I've still never seen a subway bag search, though -- at first I thought they were instituting an everyday random-search policy, but now it seems more like they're just reserving the right for when they need it.

Someone over at Wiki listed all the different phrases on Frank's hats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Rossitano

THE SONG PEOPLE

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 11:44 (nineteen years ago)

It was great, but I see why people might not like it as much. The last two episodes have been setting up the next one, which feels strange considering most of the season has been pretty stand-alone.

Emily Mortimer is great.

― Gukbe, Friday, 20 April 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

THE ACCENT CHANGE TOO

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

ACTING!

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

ALSO THE RUN

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

the Run was brilliant

― Gukbe, Friday, 20 April 2007 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

-- nabisco, Friday, April 20, 2007 3:20 AM (5 hours ago)

i thought i was gonna get teh search yesterday as there were 4 cops in the entrance to my stop on the way to work (they are always around work, but that's touristy midtown). i would have killed them if they made me miss my train and be late to work! anyway, there was no searching.

but yeah, yellow kid is right - it had to be setting up for the cleveland cop joke because i can't say i've ever heard anyone in new york complain about subway searches. incidentally, i used to work near the stop where they shot that scene - never seen a search there.

GUYS ITS A JOKE COMMENTING ON OUR POST 9/11 WORLD

― sanskrit, Friday, 20 April 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

AS IS THE SPITTING OF THE MOUTH

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

wifey seems to think that this: http://www.tmz.com/2007/04/19/alec-baldwins-threatening-message-to-daughter/ is going to spoil Baldwin's chances at his upcoming comic actor Emmy. i think it adds to the mystique. what say you?

― sanskrit, Friday, 20 April 2007 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

I say Kim Basinger gets a thumbs down.

― David R., Friday, 20 April 2007 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

I was hoping for a Kosar cameo this episode.

― brownie, Friday, 20 April 2007 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

Lacrosse, Liz Lemon!

― Jenny, Friday, 20 April 2007 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

I'm kinda hoping the LL thing means that Liz will have some smarmy nemesis with her initials (perhaps in s2) - Larry LaRouche? LeRoy Lowenstein? Lucretia Lumpitt?
