30 Rock

This is the place to discuss the insane hilarity that is 30 Rock. We only talk about those episodes which have already aired. No spoilers please, otherwise we'll have to go all Kenneth on you, and trust me when I say you do not want that.

Discuss!

[Michelle]

I can't remember all the funny lines from last night's ep, (that's Lola's speciality) but I remember laughing throughout.

Liz's negotiation with the consultant was hilarious--she'll make some sounds and he can see the top front quadrant. HEE! Then she tells Jack that he got the Lemon but it was oh so sweet. Jack tells her that her top front is her worst area.

And the woman who wanted Liz to "lez out" with her so she wouldn't get fired! I was crying.

[Michelle]

OK, ran across some good lines from last night's show at PopWatch:

1. "No, Trix, the cereal."

2. "Finnegan's. The bar we all go to after work. In my dreams."

3. Liz as Steve Jobs just about killed me.

4. "My name is Suri Cruise! Put your hands in the air!" I would love to see this whole rap. Really.

5. "Birds are like little dinosaurs. So what I'll be doing is actually pretty cool. And brave."

6. "Oh, god! That's its bathroom!"

7. "Kenneth, get me Showtime!" "What?! Why now?!" That shriek was amazing. (But between this and The Office's references to Damages, this was a cable-shoutout–heavy evening on NBC, though it hardly holds a candle to all the Apple product placements.)

8. Jenna's Lifetime movie "Hushed Rapings."

9. "Top front? Good lord, Lemon, that's your worst quadrant!"

10. "In the human resource world, we call that being a filthy prostitute."

I loved all those lines. ;D

"Jonathan's not here any more."

OMG, Liz trying to offer sexual favors in order to save her show from budget cuts? She gets a slow clap!!

"They may take my dignity, but they'll never take our straws!"

"Thirty minutes, I'll make some sounds and you can say one weird thing to me."

And then he's talking to his dead wife?! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

"In the human resource world, we refer to that as being a filthy prostitute."

Heeeee! Yes! The woman asking Liz if Jack was more of a boob or butt guy? Heee! ;D


And don't forget Kenneth the serial killer or Liz's wonderful presentation about the show.

OMG, the Lifetime movie! **snerk**

[Lola m]

"But what about my duet with Jimmy Hendrickson at Woodstocks?"

Heeee! Liz on s-e-x probation.

"Remember that time I came back from the World Economic Forum with mono and missed a week of work and I wanted to pull my hair out but I couldn't because it's too thick?" Ha!! In some ways, Jack is like a very very aggressive and strangely powerful 12 year old girl, isn't he? ;D

[Lola m]

OMG, "Jenna, I wanna Tupac you"? Heeeeeee!!!

"Oh, I can play dead! I watched my whole church group get eaten by a bear!"

[Lola m]

"I'm very busy right now, faking Jenna's death to sell her movie!"
"I'm not gonna engage on that."

"Hmmm. Usually, this is the point in my process where Liz Lemon steps in and takes care of everything. Heavy is the head that eats the crayons. I'm gonna take a nap. See you in 10 hours." Sometimes I just love Tracy. ;D


O. M. G. Fight club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

I love Liz's "Awww. This is very disapppointing!"

[Squeemonster]

What was up with Selma Hayek's character wearing a BSG t-shirt in this episode?! They seemed to be making a point of, ahem, highlighting it. ;D

[Lola m]

Can't believe I'm still catching up on so much TV! Two eps of 30 Rock to watch, yum!

Ha! Taking up with other women, including more than one Unitarian!! (Love the particular scorn on the "unitarian" bit.)

Ha! Putting the gibbon on the elevator with a "take me in Indonesia" sign? "I feel like we've half-assing it . . ." ;D

"Don't worry, once it tries to mate with a child, I'm sure animal control will just shoot it."
"Somebody loves me! I'm gonna name him little Jenna and let him live in my dressing room!"

;D

"Have you ever been to Florida? It's basically a criminal population. It's America's Australia!"

Heh! The war of "equal" between Liz and Tracey? "Let's go see some naked daughters and moms!"

Intercourse after hip surgery.

"It's Florida, Jack! It's like it never stopped being the '70's down there! And a guy like Paul? Who can drive at night? You just don't say no to that!"

Awwwww! Jack and his mom.

"Hey, before you hear crazy rumors and start believing them, the gibbon did not attack Jenna. He was trying to mate with her face."
"What?"
"Nothing. Everyone's fine."

Oooooh! Different daddy? Twist!

[Lola m]

Easter egg hunts that turn into knife fights . . .

"Also, I want something really juicy to whisper to her on her death bed."

Liz's family wisdom gleaned from her Sims?! Ah ha ha ha ha!! ;D

Ha! Jack's detective! Free ice. "I gave my gun to my pastor." Closing his eyes to give Jack some privacy, and then peeking. Heeeee!!

Maybe Tracey is 60 . . . favorite show is NCIS . . . heeeeee!!

A fathers and sons theme. Gosh, daddy issues are everywhere. ;D

"I'm gonna teach karate and whatnot. To kids. Or whatever." ;D

My three daddies.

"No, you can't get someone else's birth certificate. I know, because I've been trying to steal my dead neighbor's identify. Because sometimes it feels like too much and maybe daddy needs to get in the car and drive."
" . . . "

OMG, Jack interviewing the daddy possibilities? Heeeeee!!

"I will not be spoken to this way! I am a contest winner!"

"Not my first time on the merry-go-round, chief. Not gonna do it. Stayin' like this, serious and horny."
"I don't know. With the chicken, it could make a great cover."
"I'll hold the chicken!"


"So, you have a couple drinks, fight about politics, and then you take it personally when he doesn't agree with you? That's called having a dad, Jack!"

Um. The minute you declare "there is no weird third thing", Liz? Guarantee that there will be one.

"The dojo is real?"
"And the community center is thriving! You know Kenneth's eighty dollars bought a chess set and a crate of condoms?"
"Those kids are really lucky."
**wipes away a tear*

Heh! Milton guesses that the contest is "some kind of mama mia thing". Heeeee!!

[Lola m]

Ha! "The other kidney is singing now."

"Science was my most favorite subject. Especially the old testament."

"Only one snake in the bed." Also? Not necessarily the best advice.

"We called him 'mean Steve', but his real name was Steve Killer." ;D

"Now, in layman's terms, what do you think that means?" ;D

Heeee! Elvis Costello is actually an international art thief. ;D

Oh, Tracey. Gay kid (who told?) white kid just tryin' to go unnoticed (oh, come'on!). ;D

My European friends.

"And so began the craziest summer of my life."

"Just give a kidney . . .
we hear it doesn't really hurt that bad . . . "

"do the math . . . "

" . . . listen . . . when someone starts talking in the middle of a song, you know it's serious . . . "
"I'm one of the drunk ones!"

That? Was killer. Killer!!!
