Spoilers for "30 Rock" coming up just as soon as I get this robe cut down to size...I expressed a lot of my admiration for "30 Rock" in general and this episode in particular in this morning's column -- particularly Will Arnett's presence making the torch-passing from "Arrested Development" complete -- so I'll just list a few things that made me laugh and then open the floor to you:
- Liz calling out Jack and Devin for their duelling husky voices, with the best of those exchanges being "You're goin' down." "No, Devin. I don't do that." (Baldwin's delivery is so understated and yet dripping with judgment and loathing.)
- Kenneth's Buster Bluth-esque naivete about homosexuality, particularly "It's not really a team; it's just a bunch of guys who like to get together for gymnastics."
- The increasing dismay of Toofer as he realizes the truth about his ancestor.
- Tracy's explanation of how he couldn't be the father: "I never got out of the car and she never got all the way out of her toll booth."
- Dr. Spaceman explaining, "Science is whatever we want it to be."
- Floyd's drunken man on the street ad.
- The use of Ennio Morricone's "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" score.
- Liz's confessional about all her deep dark secrets, which was convincing in its ability to make Floyd forgive her.
- Liz and Pete's matching outfits (though did I forget Pete getting kicked out by his wife, or did this happen between episodes?).
- The closing credits for the 10-second web sitcom running longer than 10 seconds.
