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.

Use your imagination.

Mainly because that is the idea with a joke of that style, filling in the gap yourself is generally much funnier than if they said something.

Some similar examples:

"I haven't done a single thing wrong in almost 24 hours, and I'm including sex last night. Here's Avery's thank-you note."

"Ugh, she likes that?"

"No, but she respects it when it's done correctly."

"Oh no, you guys start with that?"

"Look, we got B.F.F. bracelets."

"You guys are best friends forever?"

"That's not what that stands for. [whispers]"

"Why would you celebrate that?!"

"Nope, do not put a hyphen in YouFace. There are definitely faces here, but they are not being treated with respect."

"I gave her the ottoman, and she walked out."
