@@kcbh24 all the characters, especially Jack, have no redeemable qualities and are quite irritating by all accounts. I find her shallow behavior and stupidity funny, but I guess that's just me.

@@ultraviolettas Jon Hamm and Mad Men were huge at the time. Tina Fey was obviously a big fan. She referenced the show throughout the series and Hamm guest starred as her boyfriend.

kcbh24 I know, I am a mad men cultist since season 3 and have watched the whole series at least 20 times over the years, as well as watched 30 rock obsessively. I’m talking about the INSANE about of coordination it takes toi do an entire episode of tv live - the coordination of the cameras, the timing and nuance of every little movement and flashback cutaway gag, costume changes, script changes, lighting, the sets, all in an already STUFFED when it’s not even live 20 minute episode. they worked on meticulously planning and executing the live show for MONTHS and getting every little detail right, and in the last three days, basically last minute they decided to put paul all rigged up lowered from the sky. What was his entrance supposed to be four days before when the mad men premiere hadn’t even aired yet? What other sequence did they replace that with three days before it aired? Adding last minute changes to a live show is supposedly east when it’s live, but in an already extremely technically complicated show like 30 rock? But live? Three days before?? A feat! Unless he was always supposed to enter that way and they just had him sing that instead of something else lol
@@ultraviolettas I think it's possible that all they had to change was the song. But it definitely fit in very seamlessly, and just the idea to do it was brilliant.
omg, at 5:50 where he says that he's never made a mistake and then calls her Jane. This show is brilliant on so many levels, I'm still finding new jokes.

"Ive never made a mistake, so I dont totally understand, but Im here for you Jane" god the writing in this show is so clever. It reminds me of old school simpsons. Obscure random hitting jokes back to back over and over
With the exception of that dog line (seriously, that poor doggo doesn't deserve that, Jennas), this couple was one of the most oddly heartwarming things on the show.
@@RaulAPinto this wasn't a live show. It was recorded. Only one anniversary episode was aired live. And in that episode John Hamm was part of the cast.

Tyrant-Den at least Dr. Spaceman was a clever joke. “Wassername” and “L’astnamé” just sound like the writers went “ugh we need to make up a last name for this person in five minutes”
I have this theory that Jenna, Tracy, and Kenneth are aliens sent to study human life, like the 3rd Rock From the Sun crew (the name similarity does not escape me,) or the Floogals.
Honestly, this might be one of the healthiest relationships portrayed on this show
Surely not. He enables her narcissism.

“Fidelity, Paul. It’s not just the name of a bank that sued me,” is one of my favorite 30 Rock lines of all time.

This is the kind of crack that a new generation will be raised on.. God help us lol.. Def no need for drugs at that point..
It's brilliance!
Pure genius.
The only person who could truly love Jenna was herself.
This was my favourite gag in the show. Nothing proves Jenna's vanity like Paul's character... that character was a work of art by the writers of the show.
It was beyond brilliant!!
Their romance was like Morticia and Gomez. Two beautiful weirdos that love each other as they are and not who they pretend to be.
Who?

"I've been thinking..." "Why?! You're famous!" 30 Rock is comedy gold, thanks for these great clips to remind everyone!
30 Rock needs more appreciation here in the UK and I'm one of those Brits who took to this series. Comedy gold is right.
“I’m the man here, and you’re going to respect me.”
“Yes.....s’hmam.”
Yep. We watched the clip too.
S'hman
😂😂
OMG I never realized his name was Paul L'Astname lol
Right up their with Wassername and Spaceman.
Tyrant-Den and criss chross
LOL
Right I didn’t either
“I was thinking.” “ why? You’re famous.” Tracy and Jennas relationship was awesome!!!
Layers upon layers upon layers of jokes from beginning to end. This show is precious.
Defo, love 30 Rock.
"Jenna. Babe. Wait; I'm sorry that came out wrong" is a brilliant and underrated joke
I don’t get it.

I still don’t get it
Genius.

I’ve never seen this show and I’m living for the lack of context
You are missing out on one of the best shows ever made
Honestly this video provides all the context you’ll get for some of these scenes
The context is that she's a self absorbed, selfish actress in a prime time show so dating a guy that impersonates her feeds into her self obsession.
Pirate it, watch it on Hulu, do everything you can to get your eyes on it. It's one heck of a show.
I swear you should watch it it’s one of the best shows ever
The writing of this... Every sentence is gold.
omg, at 5:50 where he says that he's never made a mistake and then calls her Jane. This show is brilliant on so many levels, I'm still finding new jokes.
I just noticed that joke for the first time lol
And 30 seconds later, Paul calls her "Jana".
"I've never made a mistake so I don't totally understand, but I'm here for you Jane."
I’ve never made a mistake...but I’m here for you Jane.
Wow i never noticed that
Nice line!
Omg
Yep. We watched the clip too.
It's amazing. Is it a written joke about him not really knowing who she is or a slip up?
You're being another woman behind my back?! Hahahaha 😂😂😂
"Jenna, Babe, wait". I am sorry but I will never stop Lizzing at that phrase.
5:55 "I'm here for you, Jane." Like we wouldn't notice that, Tracy!
I love that Paul and Jenna's relationship is too weird even for Tracy.

With a reference to a Mad Men episode that aired just 3 days before
Mad men aired that episode on a Sunday and three days later 30 rock used it as bit, a feat

With the exception of that dog line (seriously, that poor doggo doesn't deserve that, Jennas), this couple was one of the most oddly heartwarming things on the show.
Jane is very underrated as an actress the role of Jenna was crazy and she did it perfectly
Remember when this was on the air the same time as Mad Men? The “Zou Bisou” bit directly parodied Megan Draper... ah... TV was better then
It's because this was a live show! So they could include it on the skit quickly
Really?

@@unusuario5173 30 rock had a couple of live episodes
@@Dr.LongMonkey yes, and how many of them were pre-recorded? It wasn't live on a regular basis.
This is one of the best pieces of sitcom writing in television history.
Whichever writer came up with the idea of Jenna dating a version of herself, was not being paid enough.
The bit about the dog was brilliant
Where's their discovery of "normaling"?
and the outro of them singing All by Myself
It promotes normal values so they prolly think it's problematic xD
@5:55 Tracy calls Jenna "Jane", her real name haha!
L J 😂😂😂
On purpose.
In the line previous he claims to never make a mistake so he does not know what it is like to make one.
He calls her J Mo.
@@MsWonderBunny no, it's clearly "Jane"
Wait, you’re right. At the start of the scene he calls her JMo, then in the middle he calls her Jane.
Only now do I realize Paul's last name is L'Astname, the jokes, THE JOKES. 30 rock rocks
🤐.
“Ladies and gentleman, presenting Mrs. and Mr. Jenna Maroneys.”
Lmfao
I am glad you uploaded this. They're truly the best couple on the show (after Tracy and Angie). Especially, at 6:00. That's true love right there.
So what was this relationship exactly? Jenna being with someone obsessed with her as much as she is obsessed with herself?

I love how they got him to play Paul, one of the best characters on the show. Also love Pete looking around for that pot room lmao
The costume, hair and makeup people did an amazing job in that half and half for one scene!
I am very confused by Paul’s inconsistent eyebrows. Sometimes it’s ok, sometimes it’s Season 8 Derrick Barry when she got sent home.
You try working at an underground drag queen bar under taliban rule and have consistent eyebrows.
Jane Krakowski is so underrated and Jenna Maroney is one of the best TV characters ever.
Oh, absolutely she did.
I've been thinking...
- Why?! You're famous!!!
By that definition I'm famous, too
When kermit peeks over I died
Honestly Paul did that getting in drag so often then playing a statue and being lowered from the roof and singing all by myself the actor who played Paul is incredible
I think the show is funniest when it uses that borderline-taboo stuff for material.

"I've never made a mistake so I don't totally understand, but I'm here for you Jane."

And immediately after he claims he’s never made a mistake to boot
"Fidelity Paul! It's not just the name of the bank that suits me"🤣🤣🤣

Not sure this can be called their best compilation without the black swan scene
they matched each other’s freak
Never new Paul's last name. Lol
The new Gomez and Morticia
I absolutely adore their relationship. One of my favorite tv couples ever 🖤
Every moment with Paul and Jenna is perfect.

Pelvis to face, for eternity 💕
I laughed so hard at that line 🤣 💀
I don’t know which name I hated the most, Paul L’Astnamé, Hazel Wassername, or Criss Chros
Definitely Hazel. Kristen Schaal is fantastic but everything they wrote for her just fell flat.
"Doctor" Leo Spaceman.
Hazel killed the show
He had some amazing lines in this
Like when they handcuff Tracey
Tyrant-Den at least Dr. Spaceman was a clever joke. “Wassername” and “L’astnamé” just sound like the writers went “ugh we need to make up a last name for this person in five minutes”
I'm gonna need more of these thankyooooo.
Can I get 5 more beers ? Names Dallas
God this show was just the right amount of absurd! I miss it so much!

That's hilarious. 😂
“Aaaand... finished.”
*Gentle sigh*
😟
Love that it ended with the Holy matrimony of the two Jenna Maroney’s 😹😹😹
They're actually... perfect for each other! I like this!
This show is SO NUTS! I love it.
Paul's version of Muffin Top is AWESOME! This is Will Forte's best work.
paul is just the greatest character in fiction
Already Married Cat Strangler is my tinder name....I've had five matches so far
Good God! hahahahahahaha
My absolute favourite sitcom couple.
It was the “there’s a sex resort in Japan where white people are treated ike slaves” for me 😂😂
"Mother would have hated this."
Those two lived their lives to the Jenna!
I love Will Forte 🤣
"You have a lot of taped up balls."
"Jenna, I've been thinking." "Why you're famous?" hahaha
He just straight up called her Jane 😂
The most beautiful on-screen romance of all time
Will Forte has worked on so many shows. I'd love to have a beer with the man and try not to do a sip take during.
He was on Conan'a podcast recently, it was great
Paul either works or had worked with the CIA. That. That should be a fan theory.
I thought I was dating an impersonator once until I realized I was just kissing my mirror.
I think that was Lorne Michaels in that leather suit!

This was the most brilliant love interest character ever!
I just caught Tracy calling Jenna “Jane” while in the hospital 😂😂 5:49

It was intentional
when jenna is crazier than tracy, & tracy’s shocked reactions 😂 ~ chef’s kiss! ❤
"I hope traffic wasn't too bad getting here." 🤣
They have such great chemistry
will forte's greatest role
