30 Rock

ElkiElki get busyModerator, ClubPA mod
Farewell. Next week it ends, today I watched the latest episode, and goddamn it made me feel. Catch up and watch it if you haven't, and be ready for the last 1 hour. Anyone planning something special? I'm gonna try to get a bunch of people over and make a party out of it. Meanwhile, we can look back. Did you know this started airing at a time where there was no iPhone? True story.

    great show

    anyone who's a fan, you should read Tina Fey's book Bossypants. Very funny and some nice little insights on SNL and 30 Rock.

    I have 3 on the dvr I believe and of course the finale all set to record, just gotta catch up.

    I started to feel bad about it when I saw the Rolling Stone (I think) with them on the cover. Such a great show, and it's amazing how long it lasted really. Fey said something like "We've had 8 years of episodes that get most other shows canceled"... she put it a little better but you get the point, and it's true.

    Special sitcom. Love it, gonna miss it.

    I'm going to miss this show so much. It had the highest jokes per minute ratio of anything, ever.

    Not remembering the name makes it even funnier.

    It was really something special, but while later seasons had their share of great moments and episodes, I do think quality dropped overtime. In particular, the introduction of Hazel was a big mistake in my mind, and later seasons sometimes have Tracy Morgan phoning it in as bad as Tracy Jordan does in his movies. I'm sad to see it go, but glad it won't limp along as badly as the office did.

    Yeah, Hazel was a terrible character for a great actress.

    The thing I will miss the most about the show is Jack Donaghy. Jack from the first couple of seasons (while he was still basically perfect) is one of my personal heroes. :)

    I think the hardest I've ever laughed was the first instance of bitch hunter. I was on the floor, writhing in pain I was laughing so hard.

    The most recent episode was truly special. I was misty-eyed and laughing basically the whole last third.

    It's a crime that I can't find a clip of this:

    tumblr_l2fsg6h4TQ1qzs7kv.jpg

    “I slept on an old dog bed stuffed with wigs!”

    “I watched a prostitute stab a clown!”

    “Our basketball hoop was a ribcage. A RIBCAGE!”

    “Oh Lord, some guy with dreads electrocuted my fish!”

    “A crack-head breastfeeding a rat!”

    “A homeless man cooking a Hot Pocket on the third rail of the G train!”

    “I’ve seen a blind guy bite a police horse!”

    “A puppy committed suicide after he saw our bathroom!”

    “I once bit into a burrito and it was a child’s shoe in it!”

    “I seen a hooker eat a tire!”

    “A pack of wild dogs took over and successfully ran a Wendy’s!”

    “The sewer people stole my skateboard!”

    “The projects I lived in was named after Zachery Taylor; generally considered to be one of the worse Presidents of all time!”

    “I once saw a baby give another baby a tattoo: they were very drunk!”

    I absolutely love both Tina Fey and Baldwin especially.

    When her father Richard (call me "Dick") lemon shows up, they did a joke I was surprized they got away with.

    I think the half groan from Jack makes it too.

    He asks to be called "dick" instead of richard. Then he finds out a party is getting thrown by his daughter and he wasnt invited. He decides to crash the party and shouts to the people hes with "It's not a lemon party without old dick!" I lost it.

    It's not really "getting away with it" if the only people who understand the joke are people who wouldn't be offended by it :P

    Goddamn, 30 Rock is genius. Anyone who doesn't like it because "the characters are unlikable" is super dumb. I've been watching it as it's come out for years, I hardly remember the early seasons. I should have a marathon soon.

    The only episodes I couldn't stomach were the "Queen of Jordan" ones. I think everything showing that kind of lifestyle infuriates me, even if they are trying to parody it.

    I am currently rewatching parks and rec, and then will have to rewatch 30 rock. The early seasons are SO good, and even at its worst, it still has great jokes (unlike the end of the office).

    That first clip is probably my favorite James Franco acting ever.

    (maybe tied with "how's the pie?")
