This Halloween episode of 30 Rock was chock full of goodies. I think one of my favorite parts was the quick flashback we got to see of a previous TGS Halloween party, as shown above. I’m not sure what’s better: Toofer’s Kid n’ Play costume, or poor Lutz as the worst Boba Fett ever. As the craziness at the studio cranked up, the audience was treated to a heavy dose of one of the best parts of 30 Rock: Liz and Jack.
Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin have so much chemistry. They truly work really well together, and the relationship between their two characters is the heart of the show. This episode featured the two traveling to Stone Mountain in search of a new cast member from “the real America.” Jack has been harping on the idea of a “real America” since the beginning of the season, but I think the events at the end of this episode may have finally killed the idea for him. As Liz said, all of America is horrible.
There were a bunch of cameos in this episode, with each one hitting the right note, in my opinion. Betty White is such a legend at this point that just seeing her on screen is good for a laugh. Jimmy Fallon (you know him, he’s Queen Latifah’s friend) also appeared, as did Jeff Dunham. The critics may be hating The Jeff Dunham Show on Comedy Central, but 30 Rock managed to squeeze a couple of laughs out of him.
Clearly, the best part of the episode had to be Jack McBrayer (Kenneth), in drag, as one of the Stone Mountain natives.
Here are some of my favorite quotes of the night:
Frank: Hey Tracy, did you hear? Fred Dawkins, the incredibly overweight guy that Pacman was based on died last night.
Tracy: I will eat a bowl of cherries and some ghost meat in his honor.
“I”m not going to be pushed aside and forgotten, like that time at my sister’s funeral.” – Jenna
“Good God Lemon, your breath. When did you find the time to eat a diaper that you found on the beach?” – Jack to Liz
