Surprised there isn’t a thread already – One of the funniest episodes they’ve ever done, IMO.  
Several laugh-out-loud moments, including:

– “I’m Lizzing! I’m Lizzing!”  
– Tina’s Muppet walk  
– “Oh my God, you just threw up! How could you not warn me? I was staring right at your mouth!”

…and others.

Thoughts??

Liz’s phone-sex commercial was hilarious. “Everybody back away, he’s going to Jack!”

And the counterpart to jacking: “I’m lizzing!”

I loved that Jenna took to crutches again when not getting attention, and her run when Liz said “You can tell them about the commercial…”. Great job of making Tina Fey look like a 20 year old info bimbo.

Dean Winters is always a welcome appearance. Glad to see his character got beepers out of his system in exchange for something more lucrative like the basement coffee machine. “I’m sorry for ruining you for other guys.”

Jack: You know, I wore nothing but hand-me-downs until I was 12 years old.  
Kenneth: I thought you were the oldest, sir.  
Jack: Oldest boy.

I love that Grizz is Adam West’s manager.

I love that Kenneth sees the world in Muppet-vision.

And, of course, Liz’s muppet walk.

Great episode. Soo many funny things last night! Whizzing, Jacking, muppets, muppet-walk, Grizz and Adam West. Tracy’s fake space trip wasn’t great, but it had a moment or two, and the rest made up for it.

I didn’t even notice this joke, there was so much happening in this episode.

It was one of the funniest if not the funniest episode. The way Kenneth sees the world was priceless (and the way Jack sees the world was the opposite of priceless.)

The muppet walk. Tears in my eyes. Pure genius.

I missed the beginning, why was Tracy going on a fake space trip?

It was Tracy’s big dream. But Jack said that Tracy’s contract prohibited dangerous activities, like extreme sports, or riding the subway on St Patrick’s Day.

That and the bad sex tape really made the episode for me (especially the pizza and ‘playful’ tug of war). I love anything that puts Tina Fey in a bad wig.

Tracy: “Wow Kenneth, look at the size of that rocket you’re holding!”  
Kenneth: “It’s Mr. Donoughey’s! Can you believe he let me hold it?!”  
Tracy: “I wish mine was that big!” 😃

On most “normal” sitcoms, they might come up with a wild wacky scheme like “this guy wants to go into space, so we’ll fake it for him”. And it might have some funny moments, but you’d be rolling your eyes at it the whole time.

On 30 Rock, it fits so perfectly into the (utterly insane) established parameters of Tracy’s character that I could just enjoy it for the sheer ridiculousness of it.

And let’s not forget Jack’s lines about both Peggy Fleming and Ann Coulter. Funny funny episode

“When can I get some tang. Also, I’m thirsty!”

Muppet walk was great. I was sure it would just show her walking away but she was actually Muppet walking.
