A slight turn downward for me on this episode, not as good as the previous couple but still some funny moments.
The boyfriend talking to Chris Hansen had me rolling.
I liked the cut of Putin grabbing Rice’s ass. that was good.
Clever way of using the n-word with the only two black people on the show. good commentary there.
Hmm, now that I think more about it, this was actually a pretty funny ep!
The thought of Alec Baldwin, not Jack, and Condi Rice gettin’ nasty was pretty funny, too. But they say opposites attract and maybe her cries of “Jack! Jack!” referred to Jack Ryan in “The Hunt for Red October.”
The Chris Hansen twist was brilliant. “She said she was sixteen but I totally thought she was twenty-two,” was guys like Dennis all over.
Oh, and that a mere VP at GE thought he was powerful enough to take on Putin was funny. Sure, Jack may hold more real power than, oh, Tony Blair or Kofi Annan but he’d be outmatched by the guy who’s bringing back SMERSH.
I thought it was a great episode. Even if Studio 60 ran a parody of Dateline’s Predator Catcher first…Dean Winters rocks, hopefully we haven’t seen the last of him.
And why “Twofer?” Is he Black AND a member of some other minority or group beloved of HR types, like a woman who is also a Vietnam-era vet? (Actually, she’d be over 50 so she’d be a three-fer. And if she were handicapped and Black with a Hispanic surname she’d be an HR goldmine.)
The whole Jack-Condi storyline fell flat, but the other two were great. The best line was after Toofer tried out the N word, and Lemon says “It sounds so full of hate when you say it!”
The entire Lemon storyline was comedy gold; the boyfriend’s apology letter was fantastic. “As a woman, you have the right to choose, and you chose to abort me.” hehheh. And then the blond chick: “I don’t know, after last night, maybe you should stay with him.”
Poor Rachel Dratch. What has she had, two scenes all season?
