30 Rock 12/10

[Skammer]

Thought this was one of their better episodes recently.

New cast member: "I'm a little worried, I haven't been on the show in the last two weeks." ;) And how excited he was to figure out saracm.

Kenneth, showing all the holiday decorations "And here's a picture of Obama for the Muslims..."
Tracey: "I'll let that slide.":D

[StoutHearted]

Me too, though Moore's Bah-stan accent grated on me for a while. I liked the competitive gift exchange, and Jack's reputation for awesome presents: "He got my sister out of a North Korean prison!"

I like Danny, I hope he stays, if only for the Canadian jokes.

[Simplicio]

I think I missed something while I was working in the kitchen. Why did Danny's voice suck when he went to do his duet?

Agree it was a good episode though.

It was his gift to whatsername, to let her shine.

[Theodore Striker]

He threw threw his part of the duet to make Jenna the star after hearing her sob story. She is really a very dislikable person.

[Simplicio]

Thanks

[Skammer]

Yeah, she gave him the stinkeye near the end when he forgot and began singing on-key.

I'm wondering if they did that as a nod to Alec Baldwin's horrible Boston accent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r46JtPDtqAk) (NSFW, language) in "The Departed".

I'm guessing that it was. I seem to remember Jack having a throwaway line about doing a terrible Boston.

[Sampiro]

Nancy (Julianne Moore's character): You know how hard it is to get teenagers out of bed in the morning.
Jack: Yes, but probably not in the way you're thinking.

Even trying to throw a song you can tell Cheyenne Jackson has a great voice.

"Is that a nosebleed?"
"From being so happy... definitely not a rage stroke."


Was the reference to Wharfer or Wolper or [something]er Cap & Gown where they used to shoot BB guns being torn down for a park Boston in joke?

[Bryan Ekers]

As a Canadian Jew, I found some parts a bit off-putting.

Is that sarcasm? I can't tell because the Canadian and the Jew seem to cancel each other out.

I actually didn't get this. Someone explain it to me.

Jack has sex with 18 year-olds and can't get them to leave the following morning.

[Indistinguishable]

Ah; makes sense. Thanks.

[Peanut Gallery]

I think we've ventured into the intellectual deep end here Kenneth. If you try to grab onto me, we'll both drown!

lol

I think just the idea that Boston is the only city that would have enough demand for its own cap & gown factory.

Sharkfarts!

[phreesh]

I am inordinately fond of the exclamation, "What the what?!"

[Tanbarkie]

Sharkfarts!

I love Liz Lemon's Malapropisms of Frustration.

Nerds!

BLERG!

[StoutHearted]

I am inordinately fond of the exclamation, "What the what?!"

I've also adopted this into my phraseology.

[Skammer]

I am inordinately fond of the exclamation, "What the what?!" My wife and I use this and "I want to go to there."

[Shecky]

It's like the episode where he's telling the priest about all the bad stuff he's done, and after a short while it's a list of all his movie roles, including Malice. "I once claimed I was a doctor. I also said I was God."

[Contrapuntal]

I think just the idea that Boston is the only city that would have enough demand for its own cap & gown factory.Just don't tell Artie Fufkin.

Okay, maybe you people can settle this. I say it's Nerts, and my daughter says it's Nerds. So which is it? This is tearing our family apart!


"My vengeful God is punishing the sinners!"

[The Evil Prince Zorte]

My 4 year old has actually used this phrase verbatim in regards to the play area at the mall, and she hasn't seen 30 Rock. I crack up when I hear her say it, because Tina Fey nailed that one.

I think I read in an interview where Tina Fey claimed she got the phrase from her then-3-year-old daughter, so I guess it's a toddler thing.

It's definitely "nerts!". I just assumed it was a derivitate of "nuts!".

[DooWahDiddy]

I don't think so. Exhibit A. (http://www.zazzle.com/nerds_30_rock_tshirt-235708278140266168) Exhibit B. (http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/30-rock-a-glossary-of-the-shows-unique-slang--301)

Also, just an FYI, Cheyenne Jackson is a pretty well-known Broadway actor, so yeah, boy can sang.

Well a t-shirt shop does make a pretty convincing cite, ;) but I still need more, like a script.

NBC has a dictionary (http://www.nbc.com/30-rock/exclusives/dictionary/index.shtml#), but it's fan submitted, and actually has both Nerds, and Nertz!

[Troy McClure SF]

"Nerts" was used in old Donald Duck comics by the nephews fairly often, FWIW.

[Sampiro]

In the musical CHICAGO Mama Morton (Queen Latifah in the movie) says "Nerts to that!" about something, so apparently it's a flapper era slang.
