Quotes

Kenneth Parcell: Hey everybody! I got fired today. You won't have Kenneth Ellen Parcell to kick around anymore. So I'm going to tell you people what I really think of you. No. No. For four years I have listened to you all complain about your East Coast media elite problems, your apartment renovations, and your overpriced Star Wars memorabilia.
Carol: That doorman is hammered.
Kenneth Parcell: I have watched you throw away better food than my family eats at Christmas. And I have loved it. You people, you are my best friends and I hope ...

Disappointing

I've watched every episode of 30 Rock and this is easily the worst. No one watches every episode of a show over 5 seasons without loving it - I think 30 Rock is very funny.

But this - labored beginning, a forced and unfunny meet-cute in the middle, and increasingly frantic toward the end as the actors tried to compensate for the paucity of the material - is just awful.

This episode even included the "joke" where the viewer is thinks he's listening to background music but, in fact, it's someone playing music just off screen. Eventually the character on screen turns and says "Will you shut up!" (or words to that effect). Too hackneyed for Blazing Saddles but OK for 30 Rock? What next "walk this way"?

What I like about 30 Rock is the way they subvert your expectations – they know what joke you're expecting so they throw in a twist. Not this time – everything was by the numbers.

And Matt Damon – really? Surely the worst, most pointless cameo since Natasha Henstridge on South Park. Watching him trying to be wacky was a bit like watching the Queen krump: entertaining in an excruciating watch-through-your-fingers sort of way.

The actors realized that the material was weak and tied to compensate with their delivery. Eventually, in sheer desperation the episode finished with Tracey doing a topless duck-walk across the screen.

Thanks for the effort guys but nothing could stop me noticing that this episode was a complete stinker.
