06.09.09 ‘30 ROCK’ IS BASICALLY ‘THE MUPPET SHOW’

Jokes on you, I’m not wearing pants.

Yes, but the Muppet Show sketch parts were actually funny.

They got it wrong. Jane Krakowski is Gonzo, Tracy Morgan is Miss Piggy. Piggy was the unchallenged diva and star of the show. Gonzo was always seeking to gain the spotlight in sad and pathetic ways.

Also, I appreciate the Muppets on a much deeper level than you.

Beaker was last seen boarding a DC Metro and could not be reached for comment.

Muppets were featured on 2 episodes this last season, and they were some of the best jokes ever.

I prefer the Muppet Show.

And f-ck off with that stupid ass haircut.

What is green and smells like a pig?

Kermit the Frog’s dick

Eh. I don’t buy it.

The muppet show was in fact a show about a show, much like 30 Rock. The difference here is, you actually saw the ENTIRE “live” show every week on the muppet show. On 30 Rock, you see a sketch here or there.

To make broad comments about how 30 Rock characters are sort-of-a-little-like-the-muppets-in-this-one-small way seems a bit too easy.

The thing about Jack Donaghy as all those characters too…come on now.

Also, this guy comments about guest stars and Liz Lemon flirting with them. Here’s the difference: when the guy from Mad Men came on, he was playing a character, not himself. Guest stars on the muppets always, always play themselves. As for Kermit “flirting” with them? Not really. He just generally gets nervous around them.

A little too easy.

Thanks for the compliment. I really like these size 52 chinos.

Jesus.

I’m gonna guess Brian Lynch was either an English or Sociology major in college. I can overlay key figures from the French Revolution with Sesame Street characters, too, but it doesn’t mean Cookie Monster is going to end up with his head cut off.
