30 Rock is a fast-paced and outlandish NBC Work Com starring Tina Fey (also a writer and executive producer as well as the creator of the series) and Alec Baldwin. The show was launched in 2006, and ended in January 2013 after seven seasons — not because of the suits, but because the showrunner wanted it to and Baldwin decided he wanted to do something else for a change.note Although the seventh season is abbreviated—which neither Fey nor Baldwin wanted. Not bad, and a fitting run for a show that made out like a bandit at three consecutive Emmy Award ceremonies.The series follows the life of the supposedly homely Liz Lemon (Tina Fey more-or-less playing herself), who is head writer of a fictional Show Within a Show based on Saturday Night Live. "30 Rock" refers to a nickname of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the address of NBC's New York headquarters where SNL is filmed, which is where the series takes place. Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) - the head writer of TGS and the Straight Woman of the office, who is nonetheless quite the Deadpan Snarker. She's a socially awkward nerd with a huge appetite and a low libido. Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) - Liz's boss. While he starts off as a Pointy Haired Tyrant fond of Executive Meddling, he becomes more obviously human over time, but stays a Magnificent Bastard. Don't cross him. When dealing with family, he is occasionally a Fighting Irish. Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) - An actor with a Big Name and an Even Bigger Ego. Tracy seems to live in his own world of stabbing robots and vampire golfers. He has Ultimate Job Security due to his celebrity status. Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) - Liz's best friend, Jenna is an actress/singer and Attention Whore, living on the verge of White Dwarf Starletdom. She's not too bright, but she gets through life using her "sexuality". Kenneth Ellen Parcell (Jack McBrayer) - A page at NBC and a dim-witted Pollyanna from the Deep South, he often acts as a Morality Pet for the other characters. He's also older than he looks. Much, much older. Pete Hornberger (Scott Adsit) - TGS's producer, implied to be a Jaded Washout with his mostly unseen family, at work he's the Only Sane Man and/or The Generic Guy. Cerie Xerox (Katrina Bowden) - Valley Girl type - but with hints of a deeper intellect, Cerie is attractive, privileged, and frequently a bit insensitive, though that seems to be because she's too naïve to notice. She annoys the more senior staffers with references to how much younger and hipper she is than they are. Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander) - A slovenly, perverse Slacker, and Manchild-ish writer who is prone to cruel pranks when he can be bothered to do anything constructive at all. He's always seen wearing a trucker hat with a different snarky or obtuse message on it. James "Toofer" Spurlock (Keith Powell) - A writer for TGS who's described as "a two-for-one...a black guy and a Harvard guy." He frequently clashes with Tracy over the latter's embodiment of African-American stereotypes, but loves to join in Frank's childish pranks. J.D. Lutz (John Lutz) - A lazy, overweight writer and the Butt-Monkey of the TGS staff. Josh Girard (Lonny Ross) - A guileless, idiotic actor/writer/impressionist for TGS in the earlier seasons, often thought to have been based on Jimmy Fallon. He spent most of the third season Out of Focus, to the point of appearing in only four episodes out of 22, and was put on a Long Bus Trip in the fourth. Jack "Danny" Baker (Cheyenne Jackson) - Josh's replacement, more or less, and a walking Canadian joke. Meets the same Out of Focus fate as his predecessor. Jonathan (Maulik Pancholy) - Jack's worshipful assistant. At times, he's hinted to have a gay crush on Jack. Between seasons five and six, his actor became a regular on Whitney and Jonathan disappeared without explanation. He returned for the seventh season, explaining that he'd been taking care of his ill grandmother in Salinas. Grizz (Grizz Champman) and Dot Com (Kevin Brown) - Two physically imposing men who serve as Tracy's entourage and Yes-Men. Despite constantly enabling Tracy's bizarre behavior, they are both well-read, socially conscious Genius Bruisers.A sizable portion of fanbase ships Jack/Liz, enough that the show has since sort of taken to simultaneously teasing/parodying the pairing. In any case, Tina Fey always said it would never happen.Compare and contrast with Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which not only had a similar premise, but was greenlit by NBC at the same time as 30 Rock. Sorkin would later make a self-deprecating cameo in a later episode of 30 Rock.Now has something of a Spiritual Successor in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which recognizably also comes from the same mind (but—we should note—is still quite different), as well as Girls 5 Eva (which features Fey and other alumni from both), and Mr. Mayor, another Fey-Carlock creation originally developed as a Spinoff with Jack Donaghy as the lead. Not to be confused with 3rd Rock from the Sun.

When Pete and Liz are tasked with finding a new cast member but try to hide it from the current cast, their sneaking around is interpreted as them having an affair. When the crew accuse them, they go along with it, only coming clean when Pete's wife hears of it and reluctantly offers to open their marriage to Liz.

I Was Quite a Looker: Jack describes his younger self this way when telling Liz about how extremely attractive people like her boyfriend Drew live in a bubble that affects their ability to genuinely accomplish things in life without having everything handed to them. He proves this by showing Liz a photo of his younger self which causes her to gush over its attractiveness. Justified in that Alec Baldwin really was that astonishingly good-looking as a young man; in another episode, in front of the HDTV, Jack is depicted as his handsome younger self in the role of Jack Ryan.

The Artifact
 30 Rock / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: The initial concept was to have TGS with Tracy Jordan sketches figure more prominently. This was abandoned early in the first season, and the TGS sketches became 2-second cutaway jokes about how terrible they were, leaving characters such as Josh (especially Josh) little to do. As Jack was initially envisioned to be a recurring villainous executive (much like Will Arnett's eventual role), Pete was to be a stark contrast as the voice of reason, as well as Liz Lemon's confidant and support system. Once Jack, now a main character, evolved into the same function, Pete's role was reduced to getting stuck in vending machines and complaining about his sex life. Pete has become this Genre Savvy Chew Toy.

 30 Rock / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Once in a while the show pulls off enormous conceits, like using coaching a Little League team to comment on the war in Iraq or Liz acting like she's courting a man as she attempts to buy an apartment. A NYC-specific event occurs in season 4, episode 4, when Jacknote  due to his unfamiliarity with the subway system addresses the subway car for directions on how to transfer to the '4' train and everyone does their best to ignore himnote  As they would a homeless person. Jack is infested with bed bugs.

Your Mom: Frank, Toofer and Lutz engage in a prank war against Jack. Jack responds by sending them a tape of himself in Frank's mom's bedroom. He tells them he's been a perfect gentleman, but if the pranks don't stop, he won't be next time. Then he reminds Toofer and Lutz that they also have mothers. Jack tells Devon in "Into the Crevasse" that tomorrow's newspaper will read: "Donaghy Saves GE, Marries Your Mom". Liz gets one in on a rude flower shop employee in "Up All Night." Josh and Liz also engage in the Dozens, which is casually won by a visiting Jack.

Liz immediately figures out that Phoebe isn't English at all. (Of course the joke is that Emily Mortimer IS English.)

comment
The Cameo: Ghostface Killah twice, Whoopi Goldberg twice, Joy Behar, Jerry Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien, Al Gore, former GE head Jack Welch, and many, many others. Will Ferrell as the main character in Bitch Hunter. Comedienne Margaret Cho as Kim Jong-il. "Kidney Now" features a ridiculous amount of guest cameos: Clay Aiken, Sara Bareilles, the Beastie Boys (Mike D and Ad-Rock), Mary J. Blige, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Steve Earle, Wyclef Jean, Norah Jones, Talib Kweli, Cyndi Lauper, Adam Levine, Michael McDonald, Rhett Miller, Moby, Robert Randolph, and Rachael Yamagata. Brian Williams and Matt Lauer pop up every now and then. Aaron Sorkin competed with Liz for a job, doing the whole scene with his trademark Walk and Talk. Tom Hanks appeared in "100". The song he sings while he knits is the theme song from Bosom Buddies. Throwaway gags about Jack dating Condoleeza Rice were redeemed in the fifth season when she played herself as Jack's PO'd ex. Buzz Aldrin was Liz's mother's old boyfriend Jim Carrey playing himself in a role in Leap Dave Williams, which is a cross between The Santa Clause and Liar Liar. His wife is played by Andie McDowell.

Disappointing Heritage Reveal: In one episode, Tracy learns that he's a descendant of Thomas Jefferson. This bothers Tracy as he always saw himself as a black man and now has an identity crisis. After a dream sequence, he comes to terms with his heritage and decides to make a biopic about Jefferson, where he plays all the parts. In the same episode, there's a joke where Toofer learns that his ancestor was a Confederate (he had previously thought his ancestor served in the Union army).

She bends over backwards trying to make things easier for him, and at the end it's revealed that Tracy has been screwing with Liz for his own amusement. When she asks why, he points out that her smug white savior attitude is quite racist.

Chekhov's Gun
 30 Rock / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Subverted in "Episode 210," a number of references to Gladys Knight being the musical guest are made ("Did you see Gladys Knight's sound check?"). Kenneth decides he needs to return to Stone Mountain, Georgia, because the city has changed him too much; he plans to leave (of course) on the midnight train. The cast performs a slightly-altered version of "Midnight Train to Georgia," which changes mid-stream when it is revealed he missed his train ("He missed it—he missed his midnight train to Georgia."). Near the end of the song, Gladys Knight appears and tells them to keep it down and Tracy sheepishly apologizes and name-checks Ms. Knight, I guess so everyone will know who she is. The Tracy Jordan Japanese sex doll in "Gavin Volure."

Aborted Arc: Ultimately Subverted. Liz's plan to adopt, a major Season 3 arc that included an adoption case worker visiting the studio in "Do-Over", is just dropped at the beginning of season 4. The show only picks this back up in Season 6, when Liz and Criss consider becoming parents after the latter finds the adoption papers, and they end up adopting two children in the Series Finale. The abandonment of this arc was lampshaded in season 5's "Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning". Towards the end of the first season Tracy decides to make his own movie about the life of Thomas Jefferson. This never goes anywhere.

Failure Is the Only Option / Springtime for Hitler: Jack's strategy in Season 7 to get NBC sold to Paas; believing that he's definitely blown his chances with NBC's owner Hank Hooper, Jack tries tanking the network by greenlighting awful shows, such as God Cop (a police procedural where God is the main character's partner), Tank It (seniors wearing tank tops, "the reality event of the year!"), and Homonym, in order to get Hank to sell it before he can pass Jack over for the promotion. Naturally, Jack's terrible shows are all hits, but subverted in that his success puts him back in the running for CEO.

In her book Bossypants, Tina Fey points out that Prince Gerhardt from "Black Tie" could be seen as a metaphor for NBC. He's the grotesque, barely-functioning relic of a once-proud family, mirroring the way NBC went from being a powerhouse in the 90's to an utter joke by The New '10s.

Verbal Tic: Subtle, but throughout the show characters have a tendency to use "it" instead of "she".

"You're forcing me to act like an adult. "An adult!"

Devon Banks is kind of a hard case. In primarily "business" plots, he's Jack, but 20 years younger (who happens to be gay); in primarily "personal" arcs, the Camp shows up fairly frequently. Call it a zig-zag with Straight Gay, which has settled in the Camp... um... camp, at least for now (being forced out of the corporate game will do that to you, apparently).

Bilingual Bonus: "Well, I don't know what to say to that except that in Puerto Rico a McFlurry is called a Señor Flurry." "Sabor de Soledad" (the name of the brand of Mexican cheese puffs that Liz Lemon is often seen eating) means "Flavor of Loneliness". A Japanese man is shown singing a Japanese version of "I've Been Working on the Railroad" at a karaoke bar in season 4. What he sings and what the prompt says are totally different, but they are both about railroads. What Jenna is doing on the screen is completely unrelated (from cavorting with a man in a field to strangling an old Japanese man, and so on.) In Season 3 Episode 14 "The Funcooker" the original name for the new portable microwave was the Bite Nuker. Unfortunately, as Jack pointed out, in a combination of Dutch and French it means "Dick Fucker".

Mistaken for Cheating: Tracy's wife kicks him out after a misunderstanding with a transvestite prostitute; however, Griz and Dot Com confirm that Tracy never messes around with transvestite prostitutes, he just tries to get them to turn their lives around by enrolling in computer school. It's later confirmed that Tracy has never cheated on his wife, despite his reputation as a philanderer. When Pete lives with Liz after his wife kicks him out, his coworkers begin to suspect that he is having an affair due to his change in demeanor; however, it turns out that that he's actually sleeping with his wife, as the sneaking around has rejuvenated his love life. When Pete and Liz are tasked with finding a new cast member but try to hide it from the current cast, their sneaking around is interpreted as them having an affair. When the crew accuse them, they go along with it, only coming clean when Pete's wife hears of it and reluctantly offers to open their marriage to Liz.

Jack meanwhile impersonates a former student who didn't show up to the reunion and becomes popular with Liz's classmates. He learns that they plan to get back at Liz by voting her Best School Spirit and dumping something unpleasant on her when she goes to accept the award. Jack is able to intervene and defends Liz to the crowd.

Older Than They Look
 30 Rock / int_2f36d97

Older Than They Look: The Running Gag that Kenneth is, at the very least, over 40. These jokes didn't take very long to escalate from him being an elderly man who aged ridiculously well to a full-blown supernatural being: In "Cutbacks" he claims to have owned his parrot for 60 years. His response to being asked if he wants to be a page forever is a very alarmed "Who said I've been alive forever?". At one point Frank's iPhone plays an irritating tone that can be heard only by those under 25, and a separate irritating tone that can only be heard by those over 40. Kenneth staggers by, holding his ears in agony and we're not sure which tone he's reacting to, if not both. When his page uniform is changed: In one episode, a concerned Kenneth asked Jack how the Kabletown buyout would change page rules like age restrictions for "a friend." In "Luda-Christmas", a flashback shows Kenneth working at a video store just after Wall Street was released. He looks exactly the same, despite twenty years having passed in the meantime. In Season Five's "When It Rains, It Pours", Kenneth packs away a framed photograph of Fred Allen with a "To Kenneth" autograph from Allen dated 1947. He puts it away in a box labeled "NBC Memories 1947-1965". After seeing a pre-taped obituary for Tracy Jordan in the season 5 episode "Gentleman's Intermission": In "TGS Hates Women", while giving a tour, Kenneth says he started working at NBC when Shirley Temple was eight years old (1936). In "Que Sorpresa" Kenneth is pitching an idea to Jack about censoring inappropriate images on TV, and points to himself when he says that some things may not be appropriate for "the elderly". In Season Four's "Into the Crevasse" there is a short scene depicting a 50's styled music video about microwaves. Jack McBrayer can be seen dancing. An Imagine Spot of the future in "100" gives Kenneth's birth year as 1781. At the very end of the Season 5 finale, Jenna, Paul, Tracy, Liz and Jack are all looking down at baby Liddy and smiling in Central Park. Cut to a scene of Kenneth on a nearby hill: In the final scene of the final episode, Liz's great-grandaughter is pitching an in-universe version of 30 Rock to Kenneth, now head of NBC and looking exactly the same.

Strange Minds Think Alike: The former Trope Namer ("Did A Korean Person Die"). Happens frequently, especially between Tracy and Jenna. In an early episode, Jack is trying to come up with a joke to open an executive dinner speech with, and comes up with "Jack Welch is so great, they named Welch's grape juice after him, because he squeezes the sweetest juice from his worker's mind grapes." In the next scene, Tracy is in the writer's room brainstorming ideas for his appearance on Conan, and he says, "What else? What else is on my mind grapes?" In "Stone Mountain", Tracy is convinced that because two celebrities have just died, he's going to be the third (see Rule of Three above). Though everyone else thinks he's crazy, both Betty White and Jimmy Fallon understand exactly what he's doing when he tries to make sure they die first. Fallon even does the same thing to Tracy. In "Gentlemen's Intermission," Tracy and Jenna separately conclude that saving a hero cat makes someone a double hero.

Just Eat Gilligan: Okay, so Tracy is too valuable to the show's ratings to fire, but what about Jenna? Half the antics on the damn show could be avoided/eased by simply firing Jenna, and TGS wouldn't take that bad a hit with ratings. In the first episode, Liz only agreed to hire Tracy in the first place in return for a guarantee that Jenna's job was safe. One wonders if she regrets that now. And now that Jenna is a genuine star for her role on the hit show "America's Kidz Got Singing", she's probably quite valuable to TGS.

Executive Excess
 30 Rock / int_35e9f6f8
comment
Executive Excess: Downplayed in two cases. While not a major focus of his character, NBC Executive Jack Donahue is often seen drinking scotch during office hours (even once pouring himself the entire bottle), with several characters outright calling an alcoholic multiple times throughout the series (and the odd tone of "Live Show" is attributed to a moment of rare sobriety). He likewise at one point happily relates the time he went hunting manatee (even keeping a framed picture of the manatee he shot on his office wall). Similarly, Jack's own boss and mentor Don Geiss. While always seeming wise and professional, it's established that even into his seventies he has several much younger mistresses, both of the male and the female variety, and his funeral reveals he has no less than two additional secret families (one Canadian, one attic).

Batman Gambit : When Tracy's contract expires, Jack uses Kenneth as leverage to get Tracy back, telling Kenneth not to assist Mr. Jordan thus luring Tracy back to the show. However knowing Kenneth will likely fail at his task, once Kenneth ruins plan A, Jack then fires Kenneth causing Tracy to agree to a new deal in order to save Kenneth's job. Jack does it again in "Game Over." In order to convince the CEO of Kabletown to make him the new CEO, he sends a private investigator to spy on Kaylee, teams up with Devon, and gets Jenna to get a DNA sample from Kaylee to prove she isn't the CEO's granddaughter. However, it turns out that Kaylee saw right through it and tricked Jack into sending her grandfather Jenna's DNA results to humiliate Jack. Then Jack reveals that he knew that everyone would either fail or backstab him, and it was a massive ploy to send the CEO a birthday card while distracting Kaylee from meeting with her grandfather.

Actor Allusion
 30 Rock / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Liz references Megamind (which Tina Fey starred in) by calling Lake City, FL "Lay-keh-ceh-dee" (similar to Megamind mangling the pronunciation of Metro City.) Alec Baldwin Jack, to a priest during confession: "I once declared 'I am God' during a deposition." (Aaron Sorkin's Malice.) In the Season Five episode "College" Jack mentions that his voice was used for, among other things, Thomas & Friends. "Always be talking, Jack!" (Glengarry Glen Ross) In the 100th episode, Jack explains to Tracy that his movie star reputation will be immediately destroyed if he starts doing television again. In "100: Part 2" Jack gives Tracy a big speech about walking away from a movie franchise to do a movie with Anthony Hopkins and so forth in order to get Tracy to return to the show after winning an Oscar. In Season 5's Live Episode, someone suggests they cut out a sketch based on Capital One credit cards. Alec Baldwin turns to the camera and repeats his pitch from those same commercials. Doubled with Hypocritical Humor: Jack mocks Jenna for wanting a producer's credit, claiming it's a cheap handout to shut actors up. This just before "Producer: Alec Baldwin" ticks across the screen. "The Tuxedo Begins" is, in addition to all the Batman references, also a big allusion to Baldwin's earlier role as The Shadow. Hell, there's even a shot where Jack suddenly has a dodgy CGI cape added to him, referencing an unfinished shot from the Shadow film where a CGI cape would've been present but wasn't (the effect wasn't able to be completed in time). In "Jack-Tor", Jack makes a particularly sly allusion: Jack stifles a laugh when Haley Hooper mentions her boyfriend going to NYU to study acting. NYU is Alec Baldwin's alma mater, where he studied acting. In the finale Jack rattles off a list of liberal foes he's vanquished, including Alec Baldwin. Guest star Carrie Fisher: "Help me, Liz Lemon, you're my only hope!" Guest star Alan Alda parodies his own star-making role on M*A*S*H by asking, "A man crying about a chicken and a baby? I thought this was a comedy show!" Guest star Matthew Broderick's episode featured him and Jack searching government files for the worst plan ever, which was guaranteed to offend everyone, flop, and get them both fired. The plot and Broderick's mannerisms are very similar to his role in The Producers. After dating Matt Damon for half a season, Liz tries to remember who played the white guy in Invictus. Elizabeth Banks playing The Veronica in a love triangle, and unexpectedly getting pregnant, only to leave the show after giving birth? A minor, possibly unintentional example: Liz refers to her ex, Dennis, as "the Terminator with cheaper glasses". Dennis is played by Dean Winters, who played Charley Dixon on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. In the first episode of season 4, Steve Buscemi, who plays a private investigator, claims that he is called "The Chameleon". In Monsters, Inc., Steve Buscemi voices Randall, a chameleon-like monster. At one point in Season 1, Liz has an awkward interaction with Floyd, who's carrying a basketball. Floyd is played by Jason Sudeikis, who is a big amateur basketball player and had a shot of him shooting hoops as his introductory on the Saturday Night Live opening credits.

Noodle Incident: The unsolved crew death; the Angela Lansbury lawsuit. Also, in one episode, Jack and Liz are talking in a flashback, and Liz's chatter inspires him- he gets on the phone with someone and orders "dump all the unsold dishwashers into the ocean". We never got any more specifics about that. When Tracy is riding in the Cash Cab to the hospital when Angie is in labor, he correctly answers that the capital of the United Arab Emerates is Abu Dhabi, and the reason he knows that is because if he ever goes back there he will be executed.

Parental Substitute / Like a Son to Me: Liz and Jack often act like father and daughter. He's constantly pushing her out into the world and wants to see her take over his position when he moves up the ladder. She in turn worries about his health. This also explains the moments of Squick that can be seen on their faces whenever a romantic relationship is implied.

Stylistic Suck: Any asides of supposed TGS sketches. Or any other supposed shows (MILF Island: "25 super hot moms. 50 eighth-grade boys. invoked No rules.") Any reference to Tracy Jordan's projects: Honky Grandma Be Trippin', Fat Bitch, Fat Bitch 2, his adaptation of An Affair to Remember: A Blaffair to Rememblack, Samurai I Am Awry, Black Cop/White Cop, Who Dat Ninja, and Sherlock Homie. Then there's his attempt to be seen as a serious actor, literally called Hard to Watch. He succeeded, but it didn't last long. The film's dramatic impact was a definite Informed Ability. Anything Jenna Maroney stars in, including The Jackie Jormp-Jomp Story (which mutated from being a biopic about Janis Joplin), Mystic Pizza: The Musical, and The Rural Juror, which took several episodes for the rest of the cast (and the audience!) to figure out what Jenna said when she mentioned the title. And the sequel to Rural Juror being Urban Fervor. The final episode (and final TGS) ended with Jenna singing the almost unintelligible Title Theme Tune to Rural Juror.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 30 Rock / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Literally from the first moments of the series with Liz at the hot dog cart, which are the first lines of dialogue in the show. In the season 7 episode "Florida," Jack tells Liz that their mentor/mentee relationship was "more interesting" than them dating. In her book Bossypants, Tina Fey points out that Prince Gerhardt from "Black Tie" could be seen as a metaphor for NBC. He's the grotesque, barely-functioning relic of a once-proud family, mirroring the way NBC went from being a powerhouse in the 90's to an utter joke by The New '10s. The season 4 premier opens with the camera fixed squarely on Jack's face (as if he were actually addressing the camera) as he welcomes "you all" to "Season Four"; then it turns out Season Four is the name of the restaurant, and Jack was welcoming Liz, Tracy, and Jenna. One of the earliest examples opens the third episode, where Liz accosts Frank for spending too much on a sketch: "You can't spend a bunch of money on bear suits that are only gonna be seen for like, 25 seconds!" Guess how long the bears appear on screen for. In the Season 6 episode "Grandmentor", Tracy goes crazy from sleep deprivation (i.e. less than 14 hours of sleep) and yells "We're on a Show Within a Show! My real name is Tracy Morgan!" In a season 2 episode, Jack accidentally switches phones with a woman he slept with. He and Liz go on to talk about how those "great Verizon wireless phones" are everywhere, how Liz wonders where her nearest carrier is, with Liz finally trailing off, turning to the camera... Jack's office in Boston is the same as the one in New York, thanks to an "office replication service": The last season of the show is about TGS ending.

Black Comedy Rape: Sue, one of Liz's writers, comes back to Tracy's entourage after going out with a man named Doug looking disheveled and says, "I don't remember what happened, Doug put something in my drink and..." and is cut off by Tracy. Liz and Carol do a simultaneous confession, and Carol says, "Touched by a priest." Liz isn't sure if she heard him right. Tracy accidentally roofies himself, gasping, "Uh oh, here comes the roofies!" He then tells the gang while he's on the ground, helpless, "You can do anything you want to me." They all walk away. Later in the episode, Liz roofies her neighbor, who thinks she's trying to rape him. Jenna tries to seduce Kenneth, so she'll become pregnant and receive lots of attention and because he's the only one who thinks she'll be a good mother. He doesn't want to because they're not married. And then in response to that, she says this:

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: In "100" Jenna somehow generates a baby bump by virtue of wanting to get pregnant hard enough. It immediately vanishes when Hank Hooper offers her a talk show deal. That is actually a real medical condition, according to The Other Wiki, and it really is called a hysterical pregnancy. The absurd part is that Jenna goes from not-pregnant to nine months pregnant to not-pregnant again within a single day, and the changes occur instantly.

Twofer. In "The Break-Up," this causes some conflict between him and Tracy. Twofer criticizes Tracy for being a disgrace to black people, while Tracy calls Twofer's "blackness" into question. Twofer is so "white" that he does not even have N-Word Privileges: everyone instinctively recoils when he says it. They reconcile by the end of the episode and write a sketch together which explores these issues through comedy, which is cut from the show in favor of Tracy playing a farting Star Jones. Twofer admits that it is funnier.

In "Standards and Practices" Liz's pseudonym while hiding (and talking to Kenneth) in the men's bathroom was Kenneth.....Toilethole. She cringes at her own poor effort. She later uses a Wig, Dress, Accent to make the Invented Individual real for a meeting in The Stinger.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 30 Rock / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: As explained above in Denser and Wackier, the show started out much more low-key. Jenna was only sort of self-involved, Tracy was weird (albeit recovering from a public meltdown) but primarily in a clueless "rich idiot" way, Liz was not quite the neurotic weirdo she would become later on (also, her apartment was noticeably different early on), and Jack was set up in a minor antagonist role, where Liz and Jack would tangle over the running of TGS. The writers dispensed with the Work Com angle (with TGS serving as a recurring punchline and occasional plot device rather than the focus of the show), heavily Flanderized all of the main characters, and cranked up the overall weirdness relatively quickly (Jack was dating Condoleeza Rice as early as the eighth episode of Season 1). All of this is widely accepted to have made the show better. A Running Gag of the first season was that Rachel Dratch would appear as a different bit character in every episode. This was dropped in Season 2 and she barely appeared after Season 3.

Painting the Medium

comment
Painting the Medium: The nature of the show allows them to paint regularly. It's very clear that Jack (at least) can see into Liz's flashbacks and fantasies, and frequently comments on them. Liz also comments on Jack's on occasion, though usually there it's lampshaded as him "describing in detail." The very first lines in the pilot are "Hey, there's a line!" and "Now there's two lines." The Trivection Oven is described as being able to cook a turkey in 22 minutes (the length of a half-hour comedy, minus commercials). An annoyed Tracy is walking slowly down the stairs, and Liz yells at him, claiming they don't have time for him to be moving so slowly. Suddenly he's right in front of her and she lets out a surprised "Time jump!" From the second "green" episode, "Sun Tea": Kenneth seems to be able to see credits and graphics. When one episode ended To Be Continued, Kenneth looked at the graphic, then asked directly at the screen, "Really?" "Yeah, I get it, you went shopping. I don't need the montage." Season four begins with Jack addressing the camera and welcoming everyone to season four. Of course, it turns out that he's talking to the other characters, and Season Four is the name of the restaurant they are at. An early episode of season 4 begins with Pete and Liz talking in her office about the people Jack is going to see audition. As Pete gives the following line, Liz quickly and briefly smiles and nods at the camera: The season five cold open ends with Liz saying, "Okay, season five. Here we go..." In "Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning" Liz tries to tell Jack what a "snart" is because it's past 10:00...AM. "Flashback, please!" In Grandmentor: In the finale episode, Last Lunch, Grizz he'll be finding himself in a Fish out of Water situation as the owner of an inn in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A Grizz and Herz promo pops up on the bottom of the frame. Liz exclaims, "What is this?! Did you see that?!" Mazel Tov, Dummies! has this little gem:

Hong Kong Dub: Used in "Future Husband". Tina Fey redubs her own line, replacing the on-screen "blah blah blah" motion with mention of Lindsey Vonn's gold medal for skiing, as the episode was shot before (but aired after) the 2010 Winter Olympics. Also used for "Weird Al" Yankovic's guest spot during his credits parody of the theme song. The original lyrics were "Where the ratings are dismal...", but some random guy dubbed over "dismal" and replaced with "awesome!". The original "dismal" recording is shown during Al's concerts.

Vertigo Effect: "Flu Shot", when the flu hits the TGS set and Liz becomes terrified of catching it from her coworkers.

"Florida" when Liz (yes! again!) realizes that Jack's late mother Colleen had entered into a lesbian relationship in her later years. "Live from Studio 6H", the second live show, when Kenneth (not Liz!) is told that TGS will no longer be live. Liz does poke her head into frame, though...

 30 Rock / int_565ce678
comment
Game Show Appearance: In "When It Rains It Pours", Tracy Jordan hops into a cab to go to the hospital where his wife is in labor, only to find that it is the Cash Cab. He wins. In "The Head and the Hair", Kenneth pitches a new game show for NBC, Gold Case, hosted by John McEnroe. It is similar to Deal or No Deal, except the top prize is $1,000,000 in gold bars. However, there was one major flaw: because of its weight, the model with the titular Gold Case was clearly struggling to hold it, making it trivially easy to find. After a string of winners, even McEnroe points out that the game "doesn't work". "The Beginning of the End" features Homonym, an unfair game show that Jack had greenlit where contestants are given a word with homophones, and has to provide the definition for the version of the word that the host is thinking of ("It's always the other one!"). An ad in "Aunt Phatso vs. Jack Donaghy" says that it airs daily from "8:00 - Midnight" implying its insanely padded and/or getting Wolverine Publicity (although exaggerated, these are things that the real NBC has been equally guilty of in its own game shows) "Game Over" features Celebrity Homonym (NBC's most popular show) with John McEnroe. They've even sold the format to Iran; the contestant gets hit with a triple homophone meaning either "milk", "lion", or "faucet", and tells the host to go to hell (writer Nina Pedrad is an Iranian-American).

comment
My Secret Pregnancy: Avery hides her pregnancy from her co-workers for as long as possible, as part of a play to get a promotion. Since she works as a news anchor, this involves a bunch of jokes about standard things TV shows do to hide pregnancies — she does one broadcast holding a large ham in front of her belly, and later takes up wearing black wizard cloaks.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer
 30 Rock / int_61b8f9e2
comment
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Dr. Leo Spaceman. As of the end of the series, Bunny Ears Surgeon General of the United States. Jenna's contract mandates that she be made a producer should TGS reach a fifth season; she turns out to be excellent at it and has the show's best interest at heart to the point of realizing that under the current budget she's superfluous, and asks Pete to fire her. It doubles as a Pet the Dog moment, as Jenna could (and for efficiency's sake, should) have fired Pete, who was enjoying the fact he didn't have to do anything while Jenna was producing. Instead, she "fired" herself. Tracy. Everyone acknowledges that he's absolutely crazy, but he gets great ratings and arguably saved the show. Weirdly Tracy and Leo are both kept on simply for Their value. Leo is repeatedly shown as very incompotent (Not knowing where the heart is located) and few other people can tolerate Tracy for extended periods.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Jenna's 'sexual walkabout list' in "Meet the Woggels", containing "cause an impeachment", "Supreme Court Justice, liberal", and "the Lorax". In the finale, Kenneth's list of concepts no longer allowed on NBC productions include a lot of descriptors of 30 Rock, but also "Immortal Characters." Liz's lists of positives and negatives about Dennis include a lot of funny reasons. In "Hogcock!", the parenting forum Liz visits has several other discussion threads, including a parent whose child is possessed, a woman considering killing her husband so she can change her name back, and a chimpanzee wondering why humans are so unhappy and self involved.

Backfires with Avery Jessup, who correctly concludes that the call is fake due to the fact that it's the middle of the night in Switzerland.

However, the way the shots are done lampshades the show's use of a butt double for Liz in BWL jeans. Tracey makes a porn version of 30 Rock during 'Into the Crevasse' and recruits real life porn stars Savanna Samason and Caitlin Fowler to play Liz and Jenna.

Oddly Small Organization: Played With. The GE (and later Kabletown) executive hierarchy at NBC sometimes seems to consist entirely of Jack, although this is mostly because he has a large personal interest in Tracy (who is high-maintenance and a mainstay of their income) and Liz (whom he has an interest in grooming for the elite). There are also several occasions where Kenneth acts like Jack is his direct supervisor, prompting Jack to remind him that this is very much not the case.

It culminates when they attend the Source Awards ceremony; Liz accidentally shoots Steven as he's looking in her purse for his phone that he had asked her to carry. Steven assumes that she shot him intentionally because she though he was trying to rob her. Jack is then again mistaken for racist when he exclaims "You shot a Black!", and then again has to explain that he's referring to Steven's last name.

Call it a zig-zag with Straight Gay, which has settled in the Camp... um... camp, at least for now (being forced out of the corporate game will do that to you, apparently).

Jack and Liz are convinced that other races don't even have the privilege to say "Puerto Rican." Tracy is slightly confused by his. During his attempt to make people lose respect for him:

Real Life Writes the Plot
 30 Rock / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: NBC is sold to 'Kabletown', a Philadelphia-based cable company. This may or may not have something to do with the announced sale of NBC Universal to Comcast, a Philadelphia-based cable company. The death of Don Geiss probably is due to actor Rip Torn breaking into a bank in the middle of the night while armed and drunk. In "Khonani", the subplot of two janitors fighting over the late shift paralleled the Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien drama. It was also a Take That! aimed at NBC by the show. Season 6 episode "Idiots Are People Two!" addresses Tracy Morgan's homophobic ranting during the summer after Season 5. Finally, Season 7 episode "Florida" reveals that TGS will be canceled, just like 30 Rock.

Mistaken for Racist
 30 Rock / int_796bffea
comment
Mistaken for Racist: The whole of NBC during Congresswoman Regina Bookman's (played by Queen Latifah) visit to 30 Rock in "Let's Stay Together." Namely: Tracy eating from the TGS staff's food while Lutz calls him out on it (Tracy had been working on DotCom's pilot, which had a separate food budged and separate catering): "Our food is separate!" Tracy responds by throwing a donut, calling Lutz a "white devil", and chasing him down the hallway. Later, Tracy growls "I'm going to kill that cracker!", chasing Lutz with a sword. Lutz screams, "I'm half-Inuit! Hate crime!" The maintenance people remove the paper recycling bins, conveniently located between two unisex bathrooms, just before Jack and Bookman pass by. The bins are marked "White" and "Colored" with paper posted above them on the wall. When the bins are gone, it looks like the bathrooms are segregated. Then Jeffrey Wienerslav comes out of the "White" bathroom (or so Bookman thinks) and complains about having to hire Kenneth over some mega-diverse person; Bookman hasn't been told that Kenneth is all but indispensable. In The Source Awards, Liz goes on a date with Tracy's business manager, an African-American man named Steven Black: Liz initially mistakes Jack for racist when she thinks his remarks regarding Steven's family (the Blacks) as referring to African-Americans in general: When Liz and Steven are on the date, Liz quickly realizes that they have nothing in common and tries to break it off; he loudly announces that he gets it, it's because he's black. Liz then resolves to keep dating him until he realizes for himself that they aren't a good match. It culminates when they attend the Source Awards ceremony; Liz accidentally shoots Steven as he's looking in her purse for his phone that he had asked her to carry. Steven assumes that she shot him intentionally because she though he was trying to rob her. Jack is then again mistaken for racist when he exclaims "You shot a Black!", and then again has to explain that he's referring to Steven's last name.

Dot Com says that that's what he told them to put on them. Tracy says that what he meant was "Give to charity? Please, no. Presents!" At one point Jack mentions that the first edition of a book he wrote had a typo.

Celebrity Paradox
 30 Rock / int_7b8b3def
comment
Celebrity Paradox: Liz is a Star Wars fan and sometimes quotes the movies, and even dressed up as Princess Leia to evade jury duty. However, when Carrie Fisher shows up in the Season 2 episode "Rosemary's Baby" as a writer whom Liz idolized, she doesn't recognize her as Princess Leia. Fisher even gets to do the requisite Shout-Out, yelling "Help me, Liz Lemon! You're my only hope!" Tina Fey apparently exists in-universe, since she's credited as the creator of the Reality Show Within a Show Queen of Jordan. Liz does some Lampshade Hanging when she can't seem to remember who the white guy was in Invictus. It was Matt Damon, who played her pilot boyfriend, Carol, earlier in the season. There are references to Friends, usually including mentions of its infamous Ross and Rachel storyline. Yet nobody recognized Greenzo or Liz's old college friend as David Schwimmer or Jennifer Aniston. Or that Jack looks a lot like Phoebe's short-lived boyfriend Parker. Or that Dr. Spaceman resembles one of Chandler's coworkers. The Hunger Games is referenced in Season 6. Jack's ex-wife Avery is played by Elizabeth Banks, who also played Effie Trinket. Tracy worries that without his persona, "I'm Wayne Brady!" A few episodes later Brady plays Stephen Black. invoked In the third episode of the show, Liz suggests going to see Margaret Cho. Fast forward to Season 5, and Cho is playing Kim Jong-Il on the show. Oddly, this one downplays the trope since Cho plays a real-life figure who, supposedly, bears some resemblance to her in real life as well, making it less of a contradiction to have the Cho and Kim in the show's universe also resemble one another. Jimmy Fallon worked with Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan for years on Saturday Night Live, and is particularly well-known for co-anchoring "Weekend Update" with Fey, who is believed to have based 30 Rock character Josh Girard on Fallon. Despite these real-life connections, Tracy Jordan does a Jimmy Fallon impression (which seems to be voiced by Fallon himself) in "Nothing Left to Lose", and Jenna appears on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in "Kidnapped by Danger". The ad agency Sterling Cooper from Mad Men apparently exists in the 30 Rock universe (Liz's mother was a secretary there in the sixties), but Jon Hamm, who played Don Draper, appears as Drew, one of Liz's boyfriends. Also, like Jimmy Fallon and several other actors including the main cast, Hamm plays a few roles in the live episodes in "clips" from fictional TV shows past. Adding to the confusion, Mad Men also exists as a show, as Liz discusses the series finale with Jack in 30 Rock's own series finale, and Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is credited as one of the co-creators of Bitch Hunter. Mad Men, in response, paid an homage to 30 Rock by referencing a drink invented on the show. Kenneth makes Rule of Funny references implying he is attached to the mythologies of both Mad Men and Lost, yelling, "My real name is Dick Whitman!" as well as talking to Jacob more than once. Lost exists as a TV show on 30 Rock, while the Mad Men one is extra-nonsensical for the above-mentioned reasons. In season 6 Dennis describes a "lez movie" ending with the daughter going to college Mark Ruffalo going back to "do his own thing on the restaurant". This is a Dennis-y but unmistakable description of The Kids Are All Right which stars Julianne Moore, who played a major love interest for Jack two seasons earlier. Jack asks who plays the black kid on Community and Liz incorrectly guesses "Donal Glover". Donald Glover has multiple guest roles throughout the series: an assistant, an executive, a closeted gay graduate Tracy singles out during a speech, and as Young Tracy in a flashback. The finale deploys the most direct possible version of the trope when Jack Donaghy lists liberals who hate him, and includes Alec Baldwin.

However, with Jack's guidance, he quickly amends it to add 5 points on the back end, 20% gross on merchandising, a creator credit on this and any international editions...and a new clock radio.

Establishing Character Moment: Several in the pilot. Liz is in line to buy hot dogs, and upon seeing a rude businessman trying to cut in line angrily buys all of the hot dogs so that he can't get any and gives them all away, both to everyone in line except the businessman and various people she passes on the street, whether they're interested or not. Kenneth politely introduces Liz as one of the writers to a tour group and gets treated poorly for it. Jenna complains a bit about the fat suit she's wearing for a number as soon as the camera goes off. Tracey is introduced running around in the middle of a street in his underwear, swining around a lightsaber and babbling that he is a Jedi.

Liz is a Star Wars fan and sometimes quotes the movies, and even dressed up as Princess Leia to evade jury duty. However, when Carrie Fisher shows up in the Season 2 episode "Rosemary's Baby" as a writer whom Liz idolized, she doesn't recognize her as Princess Leia. Fisher even gets to do the requisite Shout-Out, yelling "Help me, Liz Lemon! You're my only hope!"

The Whitest Black Guy

The Whitest Black Guy: Twofer. In "The Break-Up," this causes some conflict between him and Tracy. Twofer criticizes Tracy for being a disgrace to black people, while Tracy calls Twofer's "blackness" into question. Twofer is so "white" that he does not even have N-Word Privileges: everyone instinctively recoils when he says it. They reconcile by the end of the episode and write a sketch together which explores these issues through comedy, which is cut from the show in favor of Tracy playing a farting Star Jones. Twofer admits that it is funnier. In later seasons, Tracy himself fears he may have lost touch with his black roots after enjoying success and wealth for too long.

Artistic License – Law
 30 Rock / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: When Jack and Avery’s daughter Elizabeth is born in Canada, they’re upset that she can’t be president since she was born outside of the US. However, the "natural-born citizen" clause they're referring to is not clearly defined in this case, and there's a very good chance it would NOT prevent her from becoming President, since she was a citizen due to her parentage at the time of birth. Summary of the issue here. Ted CruzmoreA Republican primary candidate in 2016. Cruz was born in Canada as a dual citizen of America (due to his parents) and Canada (due to location), just as in the show. His qualification for the office was challenged, but not to a definitive result, in part because his campaign did not go beyond the primary stage: Many US courts dismissed suits to remove him from ballots due to the standing of the plaintiffs, without ruling on the merits of the argument, and while the Illinois Board of Elections ruled in his favor, their ruling does not apply nationwide. Some opponents continued to use questions of his legitimacy against him during the race. Since he did not become his party's nominee and no challenge went to the Supreme Court for a definitive ruling, it remains an unresolved question, albeit one in which Cruz set a precedent of being accepted by the media and most of the public as at least a potential candidate despite his place of birth. and John McCainmoreThe Republican nominee for President in 2008. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was an "unincorporated territory" at the time. His status as a natural-born citizen was also questioned, but an in-depth legal review and a nonbinding Senate resolution declared him a natural-born citizen, which generally resolved the issue. Note that the circumstances of his case are different than Cruz's or Donaghy's, since he was born in US territory and had no claim to citizenship of any country but the United States, so even were he to have been elected or had his legitimacy confirmed by the Supreme Court, it would not be definitive for the "born in Canada" situation. are recent candidates who probably demonstrate that Liddy Donaghy would have a good shot to qualify, albeit not 100%.

In another episode, Liz's brother (who suffers from short-term memory loss due to an accident and who thinks he's still a teenager in the 1980s) meets Liz's co-workers; Cerie tells him that she'll meet him "later" in the hot tub, knowing he'll have had another memory lapse by then.

Denser and Wackier
 30 Rock / int_8a07e085
comment
As explained above in Denser and Wackier, the show started out much more low-key. Jenna was only sort of self-involved, Tracy was weird (albeit recovering from a public meltdown) but primarily in a clueless "rich idiot" way, Liz was not quite the neurotic weirdo she would become later on (also, her apartment was noticeably different early on), and Jack was set up in a minor antagonist role, where Liz and Jack would tangle over the running of TGS. The writers dispensed with the Work Com angle (with TGS serving as a recurring punchline and occasional plot device rather than the focus of the show), heavily Flanderized all of the main characters, and cranked up the overall weirdness relatively quickly (Jack was dating Condoleeza Rice as early as the eighth episode of Season 1). All of this is widely accepted to have made the show better.

Ultimate Job Security: Tracy Jordan. Jack claims that the only thing he can't get away with is dog fighting. So he does that just because he can't. And still gets off the hook after one therapy session. Mitigated by the fact that he never succeeded in setting up a dog fight, and was as disgusted by it as anyone else. He only tried because he was told he couldn't, and probably never did after the session.

"The Beginning of the End" features Homonym, an unfair game show that Jack had greenlit where contestants are given a word with homophones, and has to provide the definition for the version of the word that the host is thinking of ("It's always the other one!"). An ad in "Aunt Phatso vs. Jack Donaghy" says that it airs daily from "8:00 - Midnight" implying its insanely padded and/or getting Wolverine Publicity (although exaggerated, these are things that the real NBC has been equally guilty of in its own game shows)

comment
Continuity Nod: Liz's "disgusting foot secret", and her preferred underwear, Spanx. From Peanut to President, seen in episodes "Into the Crevasse" and "Stone Mountain" after Milton Greene mentions he's writing it. In "Live Show", Jack mentions that he agreed not to drink while Avery is pregnant ( although he ends up drinking with Liz at the end of the episode). In "Christmas Attack Zone," he is shown drinking water while Liz and Milton drink wine. In another episode, Jack is seen drinking throughout. A line in the epilogue mentions that Avery made him sleep on the couch for a week for breaking his promise. "100" had the blue dude, Dennis, "Pam the Overly Confident Morbidly Obese Woman", and a nod to Hard to Watch, amongst others. Alternate Jack also wears a tuxedo noting that it's after 6:00, a nod to Jack's former habit. "Respawn" has Kenneth plead with Jacob for "more time", which he had done once already in a seemingly comic instance earlier in the season. One of the most long reaching in the history of TV. In the pilot episode it was mentioned that Tracy fell asleep on his neighbor's roof. In the latest season we got this from Angie: In Season 5, Jenna, Kenneth and Kelsey Grammer formed "The Best Friends Gang". The next season, Kelsey mentions the Gang with Jenna. In the third episode, Jack stated that in five years, everyone would either be working for Kenneth, or be dead by his hand. In the penultimate episode, Kenneth is running NBC. (Two years late, but still.) In the opening of "Argus", it can be seen that the first two letters of the TGS sign in Liz's office are still missing after Jenna knocked them off.

Living Prop: Lampshaded when one of the nameless writers cries out "I did it! I spoke!" in astonishment after finally delivering a throwaway line in "Respawn". The TGS credits shown in "The Fabian Strategy" give credits to Ricky and Ronnie, neither of whom are even given last names.

Status Quo Is God: Jack can never keep a steady relationship for a length of time. There always has to be some excuse to get his latest love interest out of the picture/dueling for his attention with another woman once he is done chasing them. Often the writers will try to lampshade this by having the characters departing from the show for incredibly random out-of-character moments, including being kidnapped and held in North Korea for a whole season, or being suddenly revealed as a psychopathic black widow murderer.

Based on a True Story: The series is based on Tina Fey's tenure as the head writer of Saturday Night Live The episode "TGS Hates Women" was inspired by a Jezebel.com article bashing The Daily Show's hiring of Olivia Munn simply as Ms. Fanservice even though she had prior cable journalism experience. The "Idiots Are People Two" arc kicks off with Tracy facing condemnation for homophobic remarks in his stand-up act. Tracy Morgan experienced the same thing in real life prior to the start of that season.

Take That!: In addition to their parent network NBC, many jabs are taken at everything from the obscure to the popular. When Jack is showing off a voice-controlled TV to the Kabletown president, Jack mutters "Crap". Behind him, the television changes channels to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Aaron Sorkin makes a cameo on "Plan B": In "Idiots Are People Two!", Tracy rallies the idiot community into protesting NBC. Included in the movement are the anti-vaccination crusaders and Denise Richards. The networks covering Liz Lemon's apology to idiots in the next episode include Cinemax, Spike TV, Yahoo Answers, The Today Show (an additional jab at NBC), and Fox News. "Queen of Jordan" and "Queen of Jordan 2: Mystery of the Phantom Pooper" are presented as "episodes" of Tracy's wife Angie's reality show, Queen of Jordan. The show is a parody of the Real Houswives franchises. In "Mazel Tov, Dummies!", the Cold Open ends with Dennis Duffy pushing his equally-loutish wife and Afro-clad black adopted son Black Dennis through a diner, screaming "21st-century family coming through! This is The New Normal!" Liz notes with disgust that Wesley has a parrot named "Arli$$". In another episode, Kenneth states that 22 years is half the time it felt like Arliss was on the air. The two-part finale includes an epic battle of wills between Lutz and the rest of the writing staff over Lutz's insistence on getting lunch from Blimpie as vengeance for the rest of the writing staff insulting him.

When he tries it out, they're all appalled, with Liz saying "it sounds so hateful when you say it!" Double Subverted after the rest of writers find out Frank had an affair with his registered sex offender teacher as an 8th grader.

Twofer Token Minority: James Spurlock, both "a Black guy and a Harvard guy", is nicknamed "Toofer."

Understandably, by the time Pete suggests something he just gives up and lets them call him "Toofer":

Hypocritical Humor: See below, but also used in numerous other ways, typically with Liz decrying some trope before realizing it herself. For instance, she points out how shows will use sweeping scores and shots of people staring at each other in lieu of actual development, before an exaggerated staring session with Jack backed by dramatic music. The show also really enjoys showing that Liz, despite her politics, can be fairly racist.

Did Not Think This Through: "Gentleman's Intermission": Liz learns that her father intends to cheat on her mother. She tries to put a stop to this by going to a bar he's at and pretending to be someone else so he can hit on her. However, when she reveals who she is, the other patrons react in disgust and one of them tells her it was a terrible plan. "Plan B": In order to save TGS from getting cancelled due to Tracy's absence, Kenneth starts a fan campaign in which fans will send in envelopes containing sugar cubes to show that they are "sweet on TGS". What Kenneth doesn't take into account is that the sugar cubes will be crushed into a fine white powder during the process of delivery, making it look like Kenneth is sending anthrax.

Failed Future Forecast
 30 Rock / int_bb40e7e0
comment
Failed Future Forecast: The end of "Unwindulax" features Jack and Tracy independently coming up the same prediction for how the 2012 election will play out. Perhaps inevitably, they ended up being wrong. In their prediction, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Colorado go for Romney, causing the election to come down to Florida. In the actual election, all three of the aforementioned swing states went to Obama, resulting in the election being called for Obama before the Florida votes were even counted. So even if Jack had gotten Jenna's followers to vote for Romney, it wouldn't have stopped Obama from winning. (Though Wisconsin going to Romney was attributed to an in-universe event.) In "Everything Sunny All the Time Always", Avery's imprisonment in North Korea culminates in her being forced to marry Kim Jong-un. At the time, no one knew that Kim Jong-un was already married to Ri Sol-ju. (Though they could have known that it would be extremely unlikely for the country's heir to marry a foreigner, let alone an American, as North Korean propaganda is highly xenophobic.)

Modern Major General: Jack, early on. He was promoted to TV programming executive despite his most notable previous achievements coming while the executive of the Microwave division. Somewhat explained by the nature of his job; Jack's job is routinely showed to mostly be about high-level executive management functions and major business deals, whereas work specific to television production is delegated to employees like Liz. He was, at the time, expected to hold the office for six months to a year while being groomed as the new CEO of General Electric.

Publicity Stunt Relationship: James Franco's manager asks actress Jenna Maroney to pretend to date Franco. This is proposed as a business transaction: Jenna gets the media attention she craves, and James Franco wants to "dispel certain unsavory rumors" about his sex life (he's secretly in love with a Japanese body pillow). They sign a detailed contract (specifying things like "number of fights per month") and at first Jenna is thrilled, but she eventually breaks it off to pursue a real relationship.

Ultimately Subverted. Liz's plan to adopt, a major Season 3 arc that included an adoption case worker visiting the studio in "Do-Over", is just dropped at the beginning of season 4. The show only picks this back up in Season 6, when Liz and Criss consider becoming parents after the latter finds the adoption papers, and they end up adopting two children in the Series Finale. The abandonment of this arc was lampshaded in season 5's "Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning".

Valentine's Day Episodes: Liz Lemon does not have the best of luck on Valentine's Day. In the series' first Valentine's Day episode, "Up All Night", Liz tries to figure out who sent her flowers. Turns out they were sent to her accidentally, as she had a similar name to the senders girlfriend. In "St. Valentine's Day" Liz goes on a disastrous first date with Dr. Drew Baird. Meanwhile, Jack and Elisa spend the evening in church. "Anna Howard Shaw Day" in the fourth season had Liz boycotting Valentine's Day, choosing to celebrate the birthday of suffragist Anna Howard Shaw instead, and scheduling a root canal for that very day. Naturally, things don't go according to plan. "Double Edged Sword", the fifth season's Valentine's Day episode, looks at the effects of being a relationship with someone very similar in personality. "Hey Baby, What's Wrong?" Liz and Criss' relationship is put to the IKEA test, while Frank and Tracy teach Lutz their dirtbag knowledge on how to pick up women.

Happily Married: One of the show's ironies is that Tracy Jordan, who's entire brand is being an irresponsible, self-centered party animal, is also the only major character in a functional marriage. In one episode, both him and his wife are furious when a tabloid reveals that he's never cheated on her, because it could destroy his 'bad boy' reputation and their livelihood with it. In another episode, Jack convinces Tracy to ask his wife for a "post-nup", preventing her from getting money in a divorce. She points out there's no actual reason for her to agree to that, but signs it anyway, because she's that confident that Tracy is never going to leave her. Jenna and Paul, who changes his name to Jenna Maroney. Liz and Criss.

When Jack asks what it's an acronym for, Devon replies "Acronym?" In the last episode, Jack declares that he's setting off to find his bliss, "which, for once, is not an acronym for Beautiful Ladies In Short Shorts." One episode sees Jenna and Tracy start an idiot's-rights lobbying group. They name it the National Association for Zero Intolerance.

The reason Frank is the way he is is revealed in a episode that shows he had an affair with one of his middle school teachers. When she returns and expresses irritation with his immaturity, he throws it back at her since the reason he's so immature is that he's become convinced his life peaked at 14. It's the closest a show this goofy and lighthearted can get to pointing out the Double Standard Rape: Female on Male.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Jonathan in season six, because his actor now plays a Regular Character on Whitney.

Jack's extended family, including Molly Shannon and Nathan Lane as his siblings, are shown in one Season 1 episode, and never again. They don't show up for his wedding or their mother's funeral, and later interactions between Jack and his mom sometimes imply that he's an only child.

comment
Exiled to the Couch: After Paula figured out that Pete had lied about having a vasectomy, Pete is forced to leave the house and moves in with Liz. He stays there for most of Season 2. When Jack breaks into Nancy Donovan's house to erase the embarassing drunken voicemail that sent her, his hope for a relationship is rekindled when he finds evidence that Nancy's husband has been sleeping on the couch, indicating that they may go through with their divorce.

So Unfunny, It's Funny: TGS with Tracey Jordan tends to be depicted as this whenever we see it in action. The idea that everyone in the main cast had to sign off on a skit titled "Prince William and Prince: Time-Traveling Fart Detectives" is infinitely funnier than any attempt at an actually good skit could be.

When he decides to finally announce their relationship in the executive lunch room of GE, he sparks this. His conservative colleagues confess to various "sins" such as donating to NPR, sending their children to public school, and being gay or black, while his liberal girlfriend admits to having voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984. Everyone applauds in mutual understanding, then another man stands up and confesses that he murdered his wife.

Freudian Excuse: Mostly Played for Laughs. The reason for Liz's sexual hang-ups? As a child her mother caught her on the ground under a Tom Jones poster with her panties around her ankles because she fell while she was waiting for the bathroom wearing roller skates. Her mother reacted by taking all the posters of Liz's crushes out of her room, leading her to believe that "sex makes all the people go away." Why is Jenna such an Attention Whore? Every Christmas her negligent mother made her sing as a distraction while Jenna's mother shoplifted. Those few minutes that people were actually paying attention were the best parts of her Christmases.

Self-Deprecation

comment
Self-Deprecation: In-show examples: Being who he is, Tracy might not have realized it, but: Kenneth calls himself a "chinless piece of human garbage" while role-playing Avery in "Respawn". Meta examples: Every baby name Jack suggests to Liz is put down in spectacular fashion, especially "Christina, 'cause then everyone calls her Tina, and every Tina I've known is a real judgmental bitch." Jack instructing Tracy on how to lose the image of being a serious actor: go back to doing television shows. Jack in one episode accuses Liz of inserting left-leaning political messages into her show. Alec Baldwin is an outspoken liberal activist, and Tina Fey was at the time rather well-known for her satirical portrayal of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. The show itself frequently takes swipes at the Bush Administration, and in the 2012 election season, at Mitt Romney. In the final season, Jack slips "Alec Baldwin" into a list of liberal nemeses he has overcome. As a whole, 30 Rock makes fun of NBC, its own network, almost Once an Episode.

Series Continuity Error: In the pilot, it is clear that The Girlie Show has been around for some time—new GE television executive Jack Donaghy hires Tracy Jordan to save an already established show. But by Season 2, 30 Rock and TGS are always on the same number of seasons for purposes of Leaning on the Fourth Wall jokes. The unaired pilot establishes that The Girlie Show has only been airing for five weeks, providing an explanation for this.

Cloudcuckoolander: While practically the entire cast is frequently portrayed as at least slightly nuts, Tracy Jordan often has zero connection to reality. Interestingly, while his weirdness is real, he seems self-aware enough to realize that his popular appeal depends on it, and is horrified at the idea of losing that edge. Although Kenneth appears to have some understanding of what's going on around him (better than Tracy, at least), he also views the world as being populated with singing Muppets, considers hot to be 'the devil's temperature,' and is filled with rural southern wisdom/Non Sequiturs.

No Title: The tenth episode of the second season of was written immediately before the writer's strike of 2007-2008, and apparently nobody "wrote" a title for the episode before the strike started.

Age Insecurity: This is a Running Gag with Jenna. At one point, she survives a rapid-fire interrogation from Jack by rattling off what are clearly memorized answers to questions such as what her high school prom theme was. In another episode, Jenna starts trying to pretend she's older than she actually is, because while middle-aged actresses rarely get work, there are great roles for older distinguished actresses like Judi Dench and Helen Mirren. Also, in one episode Liz pretends to be in her twenties to justify a relationship with an allegedly twenty-five-year-old guy who turns out to be only twenty, and she agonizes over the fact that, for her usual feminist reasons, she's always promised herself she would never lie about her age. Kenneth is implied to be immortal and anywhere from a few centuries to a few millennia old. He tends to avoid direct questions about his age, and at one point nervously asks if there will be any new rules for the page program, 'like age limits and age verification'.

The reason for Liz's sexual hang-ups? As a child her mother caught her on the ground under a Tom Jones poster with her panties around her ankles because she fell while she was waiting for the bathroom wearing roller skates. Her mother reacted by taking all the posters of Liz's crushes out of her room, leading her to believe that "sex makes all the people go away."

Foul First Drink: Subverted, The main cast gets involved in a drinking contest, and eventually needs to rely on Kenneth to help. Since he's extremely sheltered (to the point of thinking coffee is evil), the group thinks they're doomed — but then Kenneth takes a sniff and remarks "This smells like hill-people milk! I've been drinking this since I was a baby!" He promptly starts throwing back shots with ease.

Contrived Coincidence: Played for laughs in the episode "Sandwich Day", where Jenna is having trouble with a drinking competition, competing by herself - that is until everyone simultaneously realizes they can now drink alcohol (Tracy's monitoring bracelet deactivates, Kenneth realizes he grew up drinking the stuff etc), and help Jenna win. In "It's Never Too Late for Now," Liz comments on the remarkably lucky events that ended with her finding a perfect guy at a club (said guy finds her missing license which she's never lost before, a fight breaks out just as she's considering staying instead of going home with him, etc.). It's ultimately subverted, though, as the Genre Savvy Liz realizes that it's impossible for so many coincidences to line up just right. It turns out that the whole staff worked together to arrange for the one night stand as a confidence booster.

Artistic License: The portrayal of Stone Mountain, Georgia in the episode "Stone Mountain" and throughout the series. It is portrayed as a super white, super country rural town with people living in caves and "hill people". Stone Mountain is a real place, and is actually 69% black, upper middle class note  Its county is the second most affluent majority-black county in the country, and mostly suburban, being about a half-hour's drive from Atlanta. They lampshade this a bit in an episode where Kenneth has a flashback to his high school reunion and he's the only non-African-American there.

Manchild: Most frequently, Frank. He's a slob who still lives with his mother and has an incredibly gross sense of humor. The reason Frank is the way he is is revealed in a episode that shows he had an affair with one of his middle school teachers. When she returns and expresses irritation with his immaturity, he throws it back at her since the reason he's so immature is that he's become convinced his life peaked at 14. It's the closest a show this goofy and lighthearted can get to pointing out the Double Standard Rape: Female on Male. Kathy Geiss, who is also The Ditz. Also Liz's brother, who due to a ski injury still thinks it's 1985. Jack and Devon's fights from Season Four started getting more and more childlike. In one episode, Devon bragged he was firing an imaginary laser gun at Jack. Jack pantomimed a laser shield the next time he fired it.

comment
Strawman Political: Very much averted with the strong Republican Jack—highly non-stereotypical, he seems to be more of an Establishment corporate-type member of the GOP, accepting of homosexuality and what religious conservatives might call "loose morals", and whose views seem mostly based around his belief in capitalism. He has an admittedly dim view of anything liberal. Liz, a self-described Democrat, admits to supporting Obama out of white guilt. She also has a bit of a racist streak, which the show uses to hilarious effect. In one early episode, Liz admits to telling all her friends she's voting for Obama but secretly intending to vote for John McCain. It appears not even Jack is aware of this, as he later refers to Obama derisively as "your president" when addressing Liz. Four years later while objecting to the Romney campaign, Liz tries to list Obama's great accomplishments and humorously fails. In "Respawn" Liz spouts a bunch of strawman liberal catchphrases to try and "cheer up" Jack back into his usual cutthroat self. In "Secrets And Lies" Jack gives an inspiring speech to a room full of Republicans, causing many members of the crowd to stand up and confess "sins" such as "I gave to NPR," "My children go to public school," and "I'm black!" In-Universe example: Jack intentionally uses Liz as one to prompt donors to give to the Romney campaign. Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign is portrayed as highly stereotypical of Republicans - wealthy plutocrats out of touch with ordinary people who believe money can buy their way to victory.

In the two live episodes, Jenna sings the theme with lyrics, as the credits are displayed on a monitor behind her. In "Kidnapped by Danger", "Weird Al" Yankovic adds lyrics to the closing credits theme.

Whole-Plot Reference: The B-plot of "Succession" is one for Amadeus, with Tracy as master porn-composer. In the penultimate episode Hogcock!, Jack deciding who will run NBC is a direct reference to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, complete with Expy adult versions of the kids. Subverted when the Charlie Bucket Expy turns out to be a corporate raider — Kenneth himself becomes Charlie Bucket. "It's Never Too Late for Now" turns out to be a take on Murder on the Orient Express, specifically the famous Twist Ending where Everybody Did It. In the book, Poirot realizes that everyone in the Calais coach stabbed the victim; in "Never Too Late," Liz realizes that everyone in the office contributed to an elaborate plot to arrange a one-night-stand for her and boost her confidence.

Magic Realism: The Running Gag of Kenneth's immortality. Several characters don't even blink an eye on meeting the real Leap Day William (a Leap Day equivalent of Santa Claus, roughly). Stone Mountain, Georgia apparently has "hill people" who occasionally kidnap hikers or attack the town. From the way Kenneth talks about them, it's debatable if they're civilized, or even human. Kenneth's family was captured by them once, an event Kenneth has no memory of, merely months of missing time.

Brain Bleach: Kenneth inspires a lot of this. In the episode "Floyd", Jenna and Tracy start having sex dreams about him. Later in the episode, Pete dreamed of Kenneth stripping into silver mylar underwear with the NBC logo emblazoned on his crotch and backside. Liz entered, and rubbed and spanked Kenneth while saying, in Jack Donaghy's voice, "Let's do this!" The screaming did not abate. Lutz is a source of much Brain Bleaching. For example, Lutz playing Kinect without a shirt on is a serious threat. Then Liz discovers Lutz is wearing a thong.

The Not-Love Interest: Despite the occational Ship Tease, this is the show's stance on Liz and Jack's relationship. They've even accidentally gotten married without any impact on their relationship. In late Season Six they kiss as part of a Fakeout Makeout to protect one of Jack's secrets. No Sparks is putting it mildly and it's portrayed as a great sacrifice for both parties. Jack and Liz discuss the fact that they've never gotten together in the final season, as a way of discussing what the fans really want. They only admit to loving each other platonically in the series finale.

This leads to him saying things like, "I'm looking for DIHC, Avery, and I'm going to take it wherever I can find it." After a few more examples of this, he pauses and says, "I hear it, and I don't care."

Product Placement
 30 Rock / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: Integrated surprisingly well into the show, either for laughs (like the examples below) or for plot purposes (like in "Leap Day", when Tracy has to spend his $50,000 Benihana gift card he forgot to use in one sitting; the episode was paid for in part by Benihana.) Parodied and doubly subverted in the first episode. Tina Fey put in a plug for the Trivection Oven (allegedly created by Jack) just because she thought it sounded funny (though GE rushed to throw in a commercial so the audience would know it's a real product). Later episodes lampshaded real product placements, including Snapple, Soyjoy, etc. The gratuitous McFlurry/McDonalds references in "Saint Valentine's Day" actually weren't for pay. Fey and the writers just like McFlurries. The situation was parodied in a later episode involving Liz's new Slanket. She's asleep at her desk, and when suddenly awoken, yells "It's not product placement, I just like them!" "Quick Lemon, to the Kia Sorento!" An episode has them talking about the wonders of a Verizon phone and then Liz turns to the camera and says "Can we have our money now?" Jack: (to Liz) "There's nothing wrong with being fun and popular and just giving people what they want." (to camera) "Ladies and gentlemen, Jay Leno." This is sly Biting-the-Hand Humor, as the comedy world's low opinion of Leno's comedic style is well established. Jamba Juice: They hit the obligatory Biting-the-Hand Humor later in the episode when Jenna complains that the frequent visits to Jamba Juice have left her suffering from "ice-cold diarrhea." In the episode with Jerry Seinfeld, Bee Movie is heavily plugged, with a look to the audience, telling them the release date. The painting in Jack's office changes periodically, always showing and glorifying a real GE product. The following conversation: Played straight with Apple computers and laptops, the logo displayed prominently on any shots involving a computer.

Hollywood Pudgy: In-universe, the show ruthlessly parodied this trope in Season Two. Jenna spends her summer in a musical version of Mystic Pizza, and has to eat four slices per show, eight times a week. When she returns to the show, she's gained weight in her stomach—and ONLY her stomach, everything else looks identical—and couldn't be considered fat by any means. Regardless, the staff at TGS treats her as if she's become a total blimp, and even Jenna eventually jumps on board, using "ME WANT FOOD!" to cover a mistake in a sketch and becoming a spokesmodel for a line of "plus-sized women's fragrances." Jack lampshades during the series that a woman can only be fit or grotesquely obese in show biz, never something in the middle.

Running Gag

comment
Running Gag: Jenna's many references to her twisted, violent relationship with Mickey Rourke. In the final episode she says, "I can't do this", looks straight at the camera, and says "I've never met Mickey Rourke." Jack and his mother frequently describe emotional or undignified acts as the sort of thing Italians do. References to Kenneth being immortal: When people ask his age or birthday, he'll say with uncharacteristic firmness, "Don't worry about it!" On his imagined gravestone, the first two digits of his birth year are obscured. He's seen in the background of a distant flashback looking the same as he ever days. The distant flash-forward in the final episode shows Kenneth still as President of NBC and looking like he hasn't aged a day. Lutz being a closeted gay man. Jenna saying certain words, like "camera," in a stilted accent. Tracy getting people's names wrong. Liz's enormous appetite and prudishness. Cerie saying things that remind everyone how much younger than them she is, making them feel old. Jack stating that Liz is his age and having to be reminded that she is twelve years younger than him. A character is surprised by another character and the surprised person yells out something insulting, accompanied by a Scare Chord. Shouting "Shut it down!" when something isn't working

Everything Is Racist: Wayne Brady's character in "The Source Awards" isn't a good match for Liz. Not because he's a prudish, boring, conspiracist weirdo—no, it's because he's black. Or, she's lesbian. Tracy is hyperparanoid about racism as well. He thinks everyone at TGS is racist, and has supposedly learned derogatory terms for blacks in every language throughout history - including dolphin. Another show had this exchange: One episode shows Tracy has a literal race card. An index card that simply says the word "race" in big, block letters.

"Friends" Rent Control
 30 Rock / int_fb4c41b4
comment
"Friends" Rent Control: Averted—Liz's apartment is pretty nice, but quite modestly sized by the standards of anywhere in America but Manhattan. It is in Manhattan, and she is a network TV executive. In the DVD commentary for "Black Tie," Tina Fey points out how ludicrously expensive Liz's apartment would be. Then again, the high rent might explain why Liz makes showrunner money and yet her only assets are $12,000 in checking and a gas giant named in her honor.

Talking to Themself

Talking to Themself: When Liz gets a "Dealbreakers" talk show, she cracks under the pressure and develops a split personality "performer Liz" that bears a strong resemblance to neurotic Jenna.

Team Mom

comment
Team Mom: Toofer outright says that Liz is that, using it as an explanation as to why Liz isn't invited to the writers' parties: "You don't wanna go drinking with your mom." Of course, he was trying to convince an angry Liz to save them from a rabid dog at the time. True in the sense that Liz is usually the one keeping the writers and cast from killing each others or themselves. Unless they mess with her food.

Mistaken for Fake Hair
 30 Rock / int_fd3833cb
comment
Mistaken for Fake Hair: Tracy's wife, Angie, gets to be on a reality show centered around herself. However, her contract states she must rip out the weave of several people during the show, so she repeatedly tugs out Liz's hair despite the latter protesting it's not a weave.

Fun with Subtitles
 30 Rock / int_fdb355db
comment
Fun with Subtitles: "Black Tie" has the classic "overly long line translated as one word" gag. Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: In "Episode 210", Liz can't keep up with the German TV executives' German, resulting in the subtitles being "Return Germany... Tell the... Time... Hubcap(?)". In a season 3 episode, Jack and Drew both speak awful French, which is subtitled as a bunch of nonsense letters.

Will They or Won't They?
 30 Rock / int_fdc1e848
comment
Will They or Won't They?: Jack and Liz. Although Alec and Tina have acknowledged the existence of sexual tension between the characters, Word of God has rejected the idea of a romantic relationship. Flat-out parodied, according to Word of God. Played deadly straight, according to some. Example: after learning Danny is dating Liz, Jack, who thinks this relationship is bad for the show, tells him, "My secret is: I'm in love with Liz Lemon." Meanwhile, Liz does a series of gross Sight Gags, and he winces almost to the point of, well, gagging. Jeffrey Wienerslav lampshaded this trope by name in Season 5, when Jack and Liz accidentally got married. In What Will Happen Next Year, Kim Jong-Il gets exasperated and demands Jack and Liz become a couple in Season 7, citing shows like Moonlighting, telling the writers not to overthink it and just do it. In "Hey Baby, What's Wrong", Lutz accidentally hits on Liz (It Makes Sense in Context), leading to this line from Tracy: They didn't. They did, however, tell each other that they loved each other.

Brick Joke
 30 Rock / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: Liz's "sex nightmares" (about her grandma and Tom Jones respectively) each get Freudian explanations in later episodes. In an early episode Jack reads Kenneth’s file to see his potential as a threat, he seems deeply off-set by a number similarities between them but also randomly that Kenneth’s middle name is "Ellen". Four seasons latter Kenneth receives Jack's paycheck by accident and gleefully exclaims that Jack "Francis" Donaghy has a girl's middle name "Just like me!" Jack (in the third episode): "In five years we'll all either be working for [Kenneth]... or be dead by his hand." Off by a few years, but... After Jack put on the "Kidney Now" telethon at the end of Season 3, the audience did not learn whether or not it was successful until the tenth episode of Season 5, in which Milton reappears and offhandedly mentions that he did get a kidney...from Elvis Costello.

Pet the Dog
 30 Rock / int_ff7f34c5
comment
Jenna's contract mandates that she be made a producer should TGS reach a fifth season; she turns out to be excellent at it and has the show's best interest at heart to the point of realizing that under the current budget she's superfluous, and asks Pete to fire her. It doubles as a Pet the Dog moment, as Jenna could (and for efficiency's sake, should) have fired Pete, who was enjoying the fact he didn't have to do anything while Jenna was producing. Instead, she "fired" herself.

Once a Season: Typically, Liz has a new multi-episode boyfriend usually played by a special guest star (Dean Winters, Jason Sudeikis, Jon Hamm, Michael Sheen, and Matt Damon among them) every season. Dennis Duffy and Devon Banks usually make one, if not two, appearances per season.

Shown Their Work: During Tracy Jordan's attempt to get his biopic of Thomas Jefferson off the ground, he casually mentions the horse in his dressing room will play Caractacus. This is the one thing that's actually historically accurate. Whenever Grizz and Dotcom wax erudite, you can bet that they'll say something well researched.
