A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
  3. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  4. Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
  5. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  6. No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

I don’t get it.

This is probably one of those jokes that you will not find funny if it has to be explained, but here goes:

All but one Star Trek series uses an instrumental orchestral piece during the title sequence. The outlier is Star Trek: Enterprise, which instead uses a cheesy power ballad. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

So this image is making a joke about someone turning off (or skipping) the title sequence right when the vocals kick in. The "worshipping the devil" part doesn't necessarily apply to this in the way that it does in the original. But I guess you could find humor in someone finding that theme song so revolting that they figure it must be the work of a devil.
