Haha, I was the kid who, raised in a relatively small midwestern town (ever heard of Twin Bings or Jolly Time?) composed of predominantly white kids, somehow didn't realize I was brown until someone pointed it out to me in 3rd grade (right around the time that my parents decided to come clean and reveal that the man I had called 'dad,' my white mother's white husband and the father of my white little brother, was NOT my dad)…apparently I missed the message at some point along the line lmao
2:16 - 2:45 For anyone that still enjoys the 2010s Disney cartoons, just remember that Kristen and Jack are the voice actors for Mabel Pines and Wander, respectively 😀🔫
@@Lulu-mj2fi I will try to explain(cause you know autism and over explaining lolz(also overusing parentheses)). Almost anyone can relate to be things going well when building a relationship until the other person finds out something about you that instantly makes them reject you. For Kenneth this one thing was his facial structure. How he looked turned him from very attractive to not attractive at all. For other people this might be something like being poor, being on the other extreme of some form of politics from the other person, being friends with an Ex, ..... There is a sudden shift. For me that sudden shift is caused by my symptoms of autism. These symptoms are quite unattractive. I can do decently well at hiding these traits when I am paying attention but eventually I tend to slip up. I don't nartually make eye contact(I look away when talking to people), I will often talk at too loud of volumes when I get excited(and I get excited in the wrong contexts), I "stim" by chewing on the collars of my shirts something that is off putting, I forget to take turns in conversations, I don't notice the emotions of other people in conversations causing me to act or say inappropriate things sometimes. I have a lot going for me that makes me attractive and am decent at making my autism. So sometimes for a little while I am like Kenneth with the blind girl. But it never lasts very long it always comes out. Although honestly although I like to think I am decent at masking autism I don't think I actually avoid the "thin slice" dislike of autistic people(a whole thing worth looking up)
@@Lulu-mj2fi I think that what they were referring to is how autistic people generally have a harder time concealing "inappropriate" reactions (it generally comes out quite blunt), somewhat similar to how the blind woman was unable to conceal her disdain for Kenneth's chin (or lack thereof)
Maybe, but I wouldn't call Kenneth "awkward" so to speak...after all, he has been shown to be much more perceptive than he lets on...plus, he obviously knows how to his "sexuality as a weapon!"
I mean this show is pretty old. But also, Kenneth isn't really the classic awkward male trope. Kenneth is a lot more than that! And less awkward and more weird.
"Except for looking at that eclipse." It should be a crime to laugh this hard at a blind joke but here we are.
...5 days from a major eclipse.

Its so funny to me how he drags out the word "stripper" while he turns the page
"In order to close a very important business deal, I'm going to need to *loan* you to David Geffen for the weekend."
Banks slammed up against a wall with Kenneth between and then adjusting Kenneth's hair with his pinky finger was too much.
The pinky!
Sweetest, prettiest, blindest girl I’ve ever met
Love the high school reunion bit as someone who’d been one of like three white kids at his school.

For me it’s just better! Wander has some secret adult stuff so this only sweetens the deal X3
@@faefiercevulpine6990wander has secret adult stuff??
I've never watched an episode of 30 Rock. I just watch these clips. Very, very clever comedy
1:26 one of the best moments ever!🤣
For real, for some reason it's one of the most memorable 30 Rock moments for me. Just perfect
It's a blessing and a purse.
yes indeedy corn cobs
Why do orange people stare at eclipses?
Kenneth reminds me so much of that gay dude in the movie Airplane.
Been saying this for years
What about the Kenneth dreams?
They have all come true so far
@@benjaminshinar9509 Different Kenneth dreams.
he is to me
The blind woman touching his face is such a mood. Sadly its not my face its the sudden failure to mask autism.
Huh??

Male awkwardness is an overused comedy trope
