Tina Fey takes "adorkable" to new heights

Did you catch 30 Rock last night? If not, you missed some adorkable Liz Lemon moments.

Here are my favorite bits. [Spoilers. Obviously!]

First, who knew it was possible to high-five yourself?



And who hasn't whiled away an afternoon in a German bird museum?



The breaking-into-song bits were a little weird, but I laughed a lot when Edie Falco joined in:



I could not love this show more. To watch episodes of 30 Rock, visit the NBC website.

    High-fiving yourself in public

    Yah know it is going to be the new...well, way of gratifying oneself...without worrying if anyone catches you.

    lol

    ;)

    The show was HILARIOUS last night...I could not believe a 1/2 hour show could contain so many laugh-out-loud bits!

    So many sparrows!

    Hilarious episode. This show is the reason I'm so very, very sad about the writers strike. That was the last new 30 Rock until the strike gets resolved. Pay up, networks! I can't stand for my television to be Fey-less.

    Love 30 Rock!

    It's hard to believe so much devilish brilliance can be crammed into an oh-so-short half hour. 30 Rock may be the best sitcom ever made!

    Do you think its audience is primarily made up of New Yorkers? Just curious how it plays elsewhere.

    I live in Kansas City, and I think it's brilliant. I do love New York, though, and visit fairly often. Even so, I'm sure there are some inside gags that fly by me. Thank goodness the other laughs are so plentiful. :)

    Midnight train to adorkability

    I loved the song-and-dance number. So weird, so fantastic! It felt like they wrote it because they knew the strike was coming and wanted to go out with a bang, not a whimper. Tina Fey, I think I’ll miss you most of all. End, writers strike, end.

    p.s. I must now incorporate “adorkable” into ever conversation possible. My, what an adorkable top you have on. Oh, honey, spilling that coffee on the cat this morning was simply adorkable.

    Let's not forget the drunk dialing!

    How funny was Liz calling the co-op board while drinking...like they were a guy who wasn't that into her?

    You Oughta Know

    It was hilarious when she starting breaking into Alanis Morrissette's "You Oughta Know!" I actually drunk dialed and ex once and sang choice parts of that song... not my most proud moment. But when Tina did it, it brought tears to my eyes...tears of joy, that is!

    So great...

    Their rendition of MTtG was awesome - I watched it about 10x last night on DVR. And my fave part was when Edie Falco joined in too. So funny.

    30 rock!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhh so cute!

    I've already watched it twice since yesterday! I loved this episode. Now I just want to know if they really sang. I'm guessing they did though because it sounded pretty autentic and was really good.

    Oh I feel like a bad 30 rock supporter

    Love the show and I forgot about it. I'm still on vacation so I think that constitutes as an excuse. But I love Tina Fey. I love one quote she said "I was mostly a happy child, though I had a prerry rough puberty, growing up as a girl is always traumatizing, specially when you have the deadly combination of greasy skin and getting your boobs at ten. But I think its good to grow up that way. It builds character." Oh Tina Fey. It's safe to say she has a lot of character.

    I need to change my schedule

    I need to change my schedule and start watching this show. Everytime I see a clip I find myself laughing. Seeing that singing clip I couldn't help but thinking of Ally McBeal. I'm sure the shows are nothing alike.

    So viele verschiedene Arten Spatzen LOL

    hahaha

    I love it when she speaks German -and my oh my, isn't she incredibly good at it [i mean -sooooo good, i NEVER EVER heard a CORRECT German sentence in American television - which in real life wouldn't bother me. but when they make a film where someone speaks a foreign language, then please - make it right!]

    She pronounced the "ü" perfectly when she said "Natürlich, ich finde, dass Deutsch die schönste Sprache der Welt ist" in season 1.

    Oh, Tina - what would I give to be her Spatz for just once ... hehe

    Tina Fey's German

    Yes, she pronounces German very very well, I think. Much better than the supposedly "real" Germans from DW-TV. I mean what was that!? The few parts I understood were gramatically completely wrong and for the rest I had to read the subtitles...

    But Tina Fey was soo great! As usual!

    Tina

    In the clip where she is speaking German Tina sort of looks so Gilda Radnerish with that hairstyle. 

    And why was one of your clips 'banned' for breach of terms of service???

    clip is back

    to stay, I hope :)

    sprechen ze sparrow?

    Tina’s flashback to the German bird museum (first pic above) - and the 80s horror of it all - made me spew my drink.  All over myself, the chair, and the floor.  Where it stayed until the commercial break. 

    I’ve been uploading every cover of Midnight Train I can find, esp Joan Osbourne and Sandra Bernhard (Will & Grace epi, anyone)?

    This post went too far...pushed me over the edge!

    I think I'm the only lesbian on AE that has not been watching 30 Rock. It just never fit in to my TV schedule. I keep telling myself I'll start watching next season. Enough is enough! These clips are so HI-larious that I'm adding every available 30 Rock DVD to my Netflix queue right now. Just think...I get to experience the awesomeness that is Liz Lemon for the first time in about 4 days! Who's jealous now?!

    hey

    for the third vid. that was deleted.... i was curious so i googled and found it.... i think this is it seeing as i don't watch the show but m guessing this is the drunk dialing scene:

     http://jezebel.com/343886/30-rocks-liz-lemon-drunk-dials-sings-alanis-morrisette-into-a-wine-bottle-microphone

    yeah.... it kind of says it in the url so here you go.... not meant to insult those who know how to go to google and search.... just making it easier i guess. adorkable is an awesome word. chyeah!! kk slap me if i say that again. on second thought, ouch, please refrain.

     have a good day/night to all u people who i haven't the slightest clue as to who you are!! bye.

    Good grief... being ill

    Good grief... being ill sucks, but it does mean i get to catch up on all the American shows I never get to see. *adds 30 rock to download*

    High-fiving yourself has never looked so cool :P

    I Love This Show

    The Midnight Train bit was the best punch line ever. I should have seen it coming, but I didn't and they gave you every clue.   

    That's why the writers' strike is so unfortunate, because 30 Rock is one of the best written comedies on TV. I don't think there's been one episode that I haven't belly laughed at least twice.

    One of the good things about watching it on the web is that you can go back and pick up lines you lost or to hear them over again.

    Congrats to Tina Fey on her Golden Globe
    *B* 

    Peace, Joy and Love
