(I think) no one mentioned yet how hilariously shit the TGS skits continue to be:

"No, when Paris Hilton makes out with the bear, the bear should act like he's into it."

Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 01:21 (seventeen years ago) link

"tracy to the stage for 'pull your own wisdom teeth'"

cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:00 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, Baldwin is about to get the Golden Globe

tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:22 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck yeah i'm right

tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 02:22 (seventeen years ago) link

It only just occurred to me that NBC's entire Thursday lineup was nominated.

Buck Henry is a writer on 30 Rock?

"Lemme tell ya about 20 year olds: half of them are 16."

Dean Winters (rogermexico), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 03:17 (seventeen years ago) link

hah! I was like "buck henry?!?!". Makes such good sense.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 05:27 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah!

He's not credited as a writer anywhere that I can find, but it would be unsurprising if he acted as a consultant, editor, polisher, etc, and threw in a joke now and again. He's a comedy writing God, and still pretty close to SNL, I imagine.

there to preserve disorder (kenan), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 07:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I just learned from IMDB that he co-directed Heaven Can Wait. I did not know that.

And of course there's The Graduate.

"Ben, this all sounds a little half-baked."
"No, it's completely baked."

I think he later claimed that Beatty brought him because he knew Julie Christie would be mad at him before the shooting was over, so he would need Buck to give her direction.

"I want you to ride me as hard as you can." = Tobias Funke moment.

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 02:36 (seventeen years ago) link

aw balls, I forgot this show was on

Bernard Snowy (sixteen sergeants), Friday, 19 January 2007 02:50 (seventeen years ago) link

LMFAO at the "Goldcase" coda. Tears.

and Kenneth remains unfazed

lol at Brian Williams' dressing room

The egg in the underwear + the look on Baldwins face

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:21 (seventeen years ago) link

also, cleaning "Katie Couric Sucks" off the wall

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoever said this show can't be cancelled because it's too soaked in NBC corporate culture was OTM.

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I laughed until I cried when Tracey went nuts and used his shoe as a telephone. "Yes, I am having problems with my cable television. Yes, I will hold." It was all in the enunciation.

Anyone seen a torrent of episode 11 yet?

caek (caek), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:30 (seventeen years ago) link

We just watched episode 11. Give it 4 hours.

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, right. I thought it was yesterday. Thanks.

caek (caek), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I am pretty well convinced after tonight that this is the best show on tv

Moonvest

Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 19 January 2007 04:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Like the moon landing or the golden girls finale

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Friday, 19 January 2007 04:16 (seventeen years ago) link

oooh i need to catch up on the past few weeks!

more grease in the pianissimo. (tehresa), Friday, 19 January 2007 04:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Tracy's song about Christmas wishes shooting out of your eyes is quite possibly the most absurdly hilarious thing I've ever heard in my life.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 04:49 (seventeen years ago) link

shooting LOVE

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:21 (seventeen years ago) link

very very funny episode.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Christmas love? Whatever, it's still funny.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:24 (seventeen years ago) link

you've never heard his songs as woodrow the homeless guy then

cutty (mcutt), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:46 (seventeen years ago) link

take a doodoo pie

A B C (sparklecock), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:48 (seventeen years ago) link

C or D?: Tracy Morgan's "Woodrow" character..

cutty (mcutt), Friday, 19 January 2007 05:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Johnny Mac???

LMFAO at the "Goldcase" coda. Tears.

Seriously, no even one thought to fill the other cases with something heavy?

"If you're a gay guy looking for a beard, I don't do that anymore."

Marmot (marmotwolof), Friday, 19 January 2007 06:11 (seventeen years ago) link

what coda? fucking DVR cut it off before the end

kyle (akmonday), Friday, 19 January 2007 06:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Stern logic does not create comedy. Never has, never will.

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 06:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Kyle, it'll be up on the NBC site tomorrow.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 06:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, I know kenan, I think that there was a simple solution made it even funnier.

Marmot (marmotwolof), Friday, 19 January 2007 06:42 (seventeen years ago) link

"Teenmoviescene.com gave it 5 out of 5 iPods!"

musically (musically), Friday, 19 January 2007 07:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I just went back on the NBC site and watched some of the episodes again. Perhaps the funniest bit was when Jack was trying to tell a joke about Jack Welch, ending with the phrase "mind grapes" which he and Liz agreed made no sense.

Cut to Tracy talking about his mind grapes.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 08:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Marmot and Cutty, I wondered in the old thread at just how Tina Fey was getting away with all the jokes about how shitty all the sketches were, or whether exec producer Lorne Michaels simply doesn't give a damn anymore. It's been going on since the first episode, with Krakowski as "the overly confident obese woman" or whatever.

A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Friday, 19 January 2007 11:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Great joke from a few weeks ago when the cast was collapsing due to facial tattoos, bad skin treatments, etc.:

"Maybe we can get the musical guest to do a few extra songs. Who is it?"
"James Blunt."

A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Friday, 19 January 2007 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

If all I had to my name were a bottle of water, a baguette, and a loop of Alec Baldwin perfectly enuncuiating "asspain" playing in the background, I would need nothing more.

David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 19 January 2007 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Tina Fey was getting away with all the jokes about how shitty all the sketches were

"Tracy to the stage for 'Pull Your Own Wisdom Teeth'"

I LOVE that. Not only does it sound like a bad sketch, it sounds like the kind of classic SNL that they keep trying to recycle.

Charlie Brown (kenan), Friday, 19 January 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

the christmas song omg - "imagine christmas wishes... shooting out of your eyes"
first time in a very long time i've laughed to the point of tears at a tv show

rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Friday, 19 January 2007 22:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Kenan. It was WISHES!

I'm with you... I was laughing for five minutes sometime after midnight last night just because I thought of it again.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 19 January 2007 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

This show just keeps topping itself.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 2 February 2007 02:52 (seventeen years ago) link

so funny

i love this show

and what (ooo), Friday, 2 February 2007 03:12 (seventeen years ago) link
