The 30 Best Moments from 30 Rock So Far

Page 3 of 3

10. Liz accidentally impersonates Jerry Seinfeld
Upset at the deterioration of her relationship with Floyd (Jason Sudeikis), Liz spills her guts in a familiar over-the-top fashion to Mr. Seinfeld. Liz: "What is the deal with my life!?" Seinfeld: "Are you imitating me!?" Liz: "No, this is what I sound like when I cry!" Seinfeld: "I think I'm a little insulted." Liz: "You're insulted? I'm crying!" Sarah Palin isn't the only impersonation Fey can nail. (Season 2, "Seinfeld Vision")

9. The sweet smell of chunk



After eating too many slices of pizza during her stint starring in the Mystic Pizza musical on Broadway, Jenna returns to the set with some extra pounds. Miraculously, she chooses to embrace "the chunk" and become the spokeswoman for the bestselling brand of perfume for plus-size women, Enorme. (Season 2, "The Collection")

8. The Rural Juror (it's a Kevin Grisham novel)



The confusion over the title of Jenna's movie leads to one of the funniest running jokes in the series. The Roar Her Gem Her? The Oral Germ Whore? The Roaring Junior? Whatever the case, you can't go wrong with a Kevin Grisham adaptation (the slightly less famous brother of John). We can't wait for the sequel: Urban Fervor. (Season 1, "The Rural Juror") 

7. Kenneth hates hot liquids
Country bumpkin Kenneth has a strange aversion to hot beverages: "I don't drink coffee, sir. I don't drink hot liquids of any kind. That's the devil's temperature!" (Season 2, "Episode 210")

6. The Mento and the Manatee



In the first of a series of hilarious exchanges throughout the first season, Tracy gives Kenneth the best advice of his life: "Live every week like it's Shark Week" ("Jack the Writer"). In the clip, Kenneth astutely reminds a grieving Tracy of his own advice ("The Source Awards").

5. Jenna plays Hard Ball



After a misunderstanding leads people to believe Jenna is anti-American, the lovable ditz goes on Hard Ball and manages to be the second person in history (after Jon Stewart, of course) to leave political commentator Tucker Carlson speechless. (Season 1, "Hard Ball")

4. Tracy Jordan Meat Machine

30 Rock - The Meat Machine | Movies & TV | SPIKE.com

Strapped for cash, Tracy comes up with his own answer to the George Foreman grill. And thus the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine is born, melding all types of meat-including boar-into one delicious food ball. Meat is the new bread? Only if the powerful bread lobby allows the research. (Season 1, "The Rural Juror")

3. Get it pregnant



Tracy loves cornbread so much, he'd take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. Even better, he loves a recycled joke so much he'd take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant, too. (Season 1, "Hard Ball")

2. Jack the therapist



Mere words cannot express how brilliant Baldwin is in this scene, easily his shining moment in the series thus far. OK, maybe one does: DY-NO-MITE! Tracy's daddy issues resurface after Jack berates him for dog fighting, prompting a therapy session. Things quickly go astray when Jack takes the role playing a bit too far ("a bit" being the understatement of the century). (Season 2, "Rosemary's Baby") 

1. Tracy's novelty party song "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"



The clip of Tracy's gold-selling Halloween-meets-Jewish rite-of-passage song might have lasted mere seconds, but it was enough to steal a place in our hearts forever. "Boys becoming men, men becoming wolves." It's so genius, it's spooky scary. (Season 2, "Jack Gets in the Game")
