Two new episodes and no thread?
Jenna as Mother, Klaus, Kenneth and the webcam, “are you someone’s daughter?”, SLUT, blacklight hand on Liz’s boob (and the back of her knees), “Lemoned”, the 'stache, Cerie…
Nothing?
I’m almost 41 and that made me sad.
Hee hee, loved the escapades of Jack and Kevin in Massachusetts (“I’ve made it her background picture?!”) and the Jenna storyline (41 and time for me to die!). Loved the gay cousin going wild in NYC. However, the Tracy stuff was kind of meh.
Lots of action for Liz last night, huh? This pretty woman is supposed to be the most hideous unattractive creature yet within two episodes she gets James Franco AND Cheyenne Jackson? :eek:
Well, she is the producer…
Well, and his friend, in a freaky down-filled threeway.
I like some of the off-hand jokes that they slip in like the one about the German teacher sorting the students.
Any episode with Cerie content is a good one.
The two episodes last night were excellent, especially considering the last couple have been pretty much phoned in.
The bit about Jack looking for a manly friend worked especially well, especially the snippets of him at the ballgame and Twofer arguing about Harry Potter and Jenna screaming “Look at my new boyfriend” to Jerek Deter (or did she say cheater?). The 'stache was great and the scene where she was eating and spitting up milk was surprisingly good physical comedy. For some reason all the “youface” stuff makes me giggle. Its a sendup of all silliness of facebook/social media with the added bonus of older people struggling with technology and terminology like being ‘fingertagged’ or uploading your ‘pho-llo.’
The bit about Tracey trying to make a female friend was probably the worst part. Dunno, like a lot of stuff Tracey does its either hit or miss. As usual all of Jenna’s bit were pretty good. The way Jane plays that character just really sells it.
The gf said that Liz looked terrible after her makeover. I told her that that’s the joke. Its a guy who just came out of the closet giving his first makeover to a woman. Its supposed to look bad. Not sure if Im right. Could just be stylish.
I thought it was supposed to look bad, sort of making the joke that nobody questions gay guys on their sense of style, even when it’s…not very good.
The 'stache was hot. I’ll be in my bunk.
I think I need help
“Tom”-- I did NOT see that coming! As they’re showing everyone’s stunned and horrified faces when she walked by, I was racking my brain trying to figure out what “Tom” could possibly be. I think think I hurt myself laughing/being startled.
Leaving a hockey game merely because he was going to get laid? I’m not a Canadian but I’m from Minnesota and I know that was a bogus plot point.
Of course, had it been curling there is no way it would’ve happened.
These two episodes were the best this season. Really glad to see it hasn’t lose its spark.
Liz and James Franco emerging from her bedroom was funny enough…but the doll rolling up alongside was to DIE for. The blacklight hand was great too. Kenneth through the doggie door pantsless.
Also, all the 40 year old noises were great - Kenneth!?
I had to pause the shows twice because I was laughing so hard.
One was James Franco’s line “Your hand feels like a pillow that’s been in the microwave.”
The other was Tracy’s shocked face as he said “Uh oh!” after asking the dancer if every woman is someone’s daughter. Screw Tracy’s many, many, thousands of haters. I love Tracy.
There was a joke in an earlier episode where Kenneth misheard something and responded with a panicy “Who said I’ve been alive forever?!”.
Hell, I’d put up with the freaky Japanese sex pillow (imagine what that :eek: looks like under a blacklight) if I get to have sex with James Franco at the same time.
I thought the funniest part about Jenna’s dying of old age scene was that it wasn’t just something she came up with.
Actually, now that I think about it, it reminds me a scene from WarGames (1983) which I saw when I was 14:
David: [discussing Stephen Falken] He was pretty old, like, forty.
Jennifer: Wow, that’s old.
I know the audience got a chuckle out of it, but the teenage characters were dead serious.
I loved that line because it was probably the most off-the-wall thing said on the show. I’m happy they called back to it.
There have been a couple others, too – like the pet parrot he had that lived to the age of 65.
My friends and I like to believe that he’s some sort of (un)holy warrior over two thousand years old – the only thing we disagree on is which side of the apocalypse he’ll be fighting on. I think he’s a perfect Satan’s minion (Good Omens-style), but my friends don’t buy that.
Cherie commenting about late night drunken phone messages being weird, even when they were from Liz.
Picturing Kenneth running around 30 Rock with a flaming sword makes me laugh!
Yeah the B-story was weak, though that actress/dancer who also had the same potential name as his daughter was hot. That’s the plus of the B-story.
I was never of a fan of Tracy Morgan until this show. I personally think he’s one of the best characters on 30 Rock, though I do agree that the last episode’s Tracy plot was weak.
