The new obsession in our house is the TV show 30 Rock. Its a show on NBC about a show on NBC. Confusing? Really the plot does not matter, it is the characters that are hilarious! The star and writer of the show is Tina Fey and as big of a loser as they make her out to be on the show...I want to be like her!
We only just started watching this season (the 3rd season) because it comes after The Office and it has now turned into this thing. Our house makes dinner together, our neighbors from down the street join us and we enjoy and hour of worthless, hilarious TV. We have even started renting the first 2 seasons. Don't tell anyone, but I actually think I am starting to like 30 Rock more that The Office.
The main character is this lovable, odd, casual, say what she is thinking, single woman who you just want to be friends with. She loves food, falls down, has trouble dating, has messy hair, spills on herself, is a bad dancer, but she is still cool!
The writing is witty, politically incorrect, culturally relevant, and sneaky! Because it is on national television they cannot really cuss so here are some of our favorite replacement cuss words:
Blerg! Nertz! BAMM-O! Runt!
Here are some other funny phrases:
So strong
I want to go to there
I'm gunna go talk to some food about this
This would work on Ugly Betty
Shut it down
Suck it
Do the worm!
This is my house
I want you to punch your sister in the face
Some great new slang terms:
Lizzing- combo of laughing and whizzing at the same time
Mind Grapes- your brain
Are you cereal?- Are you serious?
Brocabulary- vocabulary used by guys who wear popped collars and wear frayed-brimmed hats
We even found a 30 Rock slang dictionary !
Anyway, I am not trying to convince you to watch the show, I just wanted to share how much we love the show!
... wow!
