"I suppose...but then you'd have to register as a motor vehicle" is such a great 30-rock line: completely out of left-field while being said in a very serious, assured manner.
It's a disgrace that Chris Parnell was never even nominated for ANY award for guest appearance! Of all the guests who were nominated (Jon Hamm, Will Arnett, Dean Winters, etc), no one deserved it more than Parnell IMHO. The other actors are extremely talented...not taking anything away from them. But CP was just on a different level with Dr. Spaceman!
I feel like “guest” nominations are unfortunately reserved for those who are more widely recognized. Even if these smaller side character actors are super talented, they always get pushed to the side.
Chris Parnell is one of the best at doing the "air of authority" voice while spouting the most deranged lunacy. The number of times Dr Spaceman has Jack unnecessarily remove clothing, combined with the fact he is a pill mill doctor reminds me of John Mulaney's Dr Michael, with him having John take his shirt off for no reason.
I love how they both laugh after that as Spaceman casually transitions to deadpan, “Take 25 of these a day for the rest of your life.” And Jenna realizes he wasn’t joking 🤣
@@jimbarino2What is it with right wing conservatives and thinking they're the most intelligent group in the world. Apparently Science and evidence don't matter anymore.
Froome was a member of the Manson Family murderers in case people don't get that part of the joke. I imagine it's perhaps not widely known with the younger generations.
"We're currently working on a pill that keeps people awake under any circumstances. It's being funded by the U.S. military and the WNBA." Shots fired. lmao 😂
Any time I had trouble sleeping my parents would give me some warm milk, put on my bear pajamas, and then slam my head into the coffee table while screaming at me. Worked every time.
I've always loved Chris Parnell. So underrated. This character was based on an SNL skit in which Will Ferrell plays the 'out-of-left-field' doctor and Parnell plays a parent alongside Molly Shannon. It's also the introduction of the curse word 'vondruke!'
If we're talking ratio of great jokes to screentime there can't be anyone who has Chris Parnell for Dr. Spaceman. Not a single wasted moment when he's onscreen
@@Mike-hp2dd Are you seriously asking for a dictionary definition while you actively have access to the internet? These kinds of demeaning questions are asked in bad faith, based purely in callous ignorance
As terrible of a doctor Dr. Spaceman is, I always loved him running to Jenna to make her go to sleep cause it's one of the few moments where he genuinely cares about the well being of his patients and went out of his way to help, lol
Those 15 seconds are some of the tightest writing in TV comedy history. ",,puts you in the disgusting range." Jenna nodding and agreeing. Then the flier with "You do the meth" followed by "How important is teeth retention to you?" by Parnell. I don't think any other show in history every tried putting THAT many gaggs into so little space and time as 30 Rock did and got away with it.
Chris Parnell can make the most insane dialog sound normal and reasonable.
He did that a lot on Saturday Night Live.
He’s got the comforting voice of a 1950s tv dad but the intelligence of Donald J Trump.
@@JamietheroadrunnerAnd the unearned confidence of Trump, too.
“How important is tooth retention to you?” Masterpiece of a line.
Why is that line a masterpiece?
@@leif1075 Because presumably everybody wants to retain their teeth
I used this quote just recently
The “You Do the Meth!” pamphlet always gets me
"I suppose...but then you'd have to register as a motor vehicle" is such a great 30-rock line: completely out of left-field while being said in a very serious, assured manner.
The best part is the expression on Tracy's face when he says that, clearly annoyed at the thought of having to go to the DMV to register as one XD
'your blood tastes like root beer' is right up there too
“Between my medical practice and THIS job,” is a great gag
Whoever came up with pronouncing his name like it's some fancy eastern european name is a comedic genius.
Its toofer...he went to harvard
I thought it was supposed to be Italian
The show is full of these types of joke. There's a character called Hazel Wassername.
Lies again? Hernia Surgery

Nice, good call.
Chris Parnell is the best deadpan actor hands down.
‘Tracy . . . I don’t know how to say this . . . dee-ay-butt-tease??’ 🤣
Parnell's delivery is impeccable. In any of his dozen or so gigs he has going on at any given time.
He's really in so many things. I love it.
He really is one of the best
Anyone else in the role and it would have been completely different, nowhere near as funny
Sometimes I close my eyes and Dr. Spaceman becomes Cyril Figgis.
@@ScottKnitter
It's a multiverse of Parnellness.
"Where do I sign?"
"Oh please, we don't want a paper trail..." XD
Every word out of this man's mouth is a gift
I love how they both laugh after that as Spaceman casually transitions to deadpan, “Take 25 of these a day for the rest of your life.” And Jenna realizes he wasn’t joking 🤣
“Diabetes repair, I guess” 😂😂😂
The "I guess" really sells the line
That is a good line
'Tracy, I don't know how to say this...' is one of my favorite jokes ever
“Take 25 of these a day for the rest of your life…”
My favorite 30rock supporting character! Perfect deadpan delivery!
"...science is whatever we want it to be." Didn't know Dr. Spaceman, was the technology advisor for the Marvel cinematic universe.
Also Dr. Fauci...
@@jimbarino2What is it with right wing conservatives and thinking they're the most intelligent group in the world. Apparently Science and evidence don't matter anymore.
I love how Tracy calls him Dr. Spaceman.
Well that IS his name 😂
I love Tracy getting rocked like a baby in his underwear 🩲!
No, Tracy calls him Dr. Spaceman...
@@stefanie7823 It's pronounced Spaceman.
@@frankirons9337 Right, Spaceman. That’s what I said 😂
I hope part two has the one where he tells Tracy, "Tracy, you are going to die...when you find out who I'm dating! Sqweaky Fromme! She is..difficult.
Froome was a member of the Manson Family murderers in case people don't get that part of the joke. I imagine it's perhaps not widely known with the younger generations.
😂😂😂
One of my all-time faves.
Liz’s dancing for the shot face might be the best moment in the entire show
“You’ll have to register as a motor vehicle” omgsh I can’t stop laughing
"Scientifically speaking, humans want food, but don't need it" 💀😂
tina dancing for the shot always gets me 😂
verrry nice
one of the best side characters in TV history.
"Dammit, where are my car keys?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this character so much. Such a drop of earnest insanity.
"I've already administered the epidural so... would you like one as well?"
"We're currently working on a pill that keeps people awake under any circumstances. It's being funded by the U.S. military and the WNBA."
Shots fired. lmao 😂

My favorite clip is him convincing the bear version of Jenna to go to sleep during taping while she is at work.
Here comes the funcooker!
Sleep Jenna sleep, it’s for your own good!
Any time I had trouble sleeping my parents would give me some warm milk, put on my bear pajamas, and then slam my head into the coffee table while screaming at me. Worked every time.
@@gradeahonky Right, doesn’t, knowing, and, being, your, specific, Ethnicity, FEEL GOOD ?
Looking at the xrays asking where his keys are is 😂😂😂
Arrested Development and 30 rock are the most genius shows ever
it keeps the spine straight
The parody on Amadeus is actually true perfect
The trio becomes a quartet! And so on!
You go too fast!
@UChGsJva9kDFHUBaVucjx9YA it's the bit where he's running with a cloak. The episode it comes from has a B plot that is just an Amadeus parody.
Dr Spaceman spin off series when?
You got my vote.
I’ve been waiting ten years now and you know what, I’m beginning to think we may never get a spin-off!
I think they used him just the perfect amount in 30 rock.
Yes, or at least give us Dr. Spaceman PSAs.
Right?! We need it.
Always got teased a bit for this but I think Chris Parnell is kinda cute
Me too!!!
Me too!
Love him on Archer!
That’s just the blue ones kicking in
Incorrect madam, or sir! Chris Parnell is hella cute.

FINALLY a Dr. Spacemen compilation!! 💛
There's already one from years ago.
@@redacted2275 that was posted in 2020, and I think it is 5 minutes too short
Dr. Spaceman and Dr. Nick would be great pals.
Dr Spaceman is basically Lionel Hutz and Dr Nick in one person
@@Ganzz94🤯
One of the best characters in tv history! The writing plus chris parnell’s delivery is something out of this world.
There is no way to know where the heart is. LOL
Maybe the funniest character ever seen on television.
It is such an absurd character with the perfect actor to play it.
I love how Spaceman never corrects Tracy when he pronounces his name.
9:10 -- The reaction of that robot!!!
That was some serious acting.
If we're talking ratio of great jokes to screentime there can't be anyone who has Chris Parnell for Dr. Spaceman. Not a single wasted moment when he's onscreen
My favorite character of 30 Rock.
"Say no more, if it's giving people meat,...I'm on board.":):)
"Take 25 of these a day for the rest of your life." 🤣
This show so deserves a reunion!!!
"Science is whatever we want it to be." - how prescient a dozen years later.
get out of here, Trumper
"Of course a man can be a woman" - Dr. Spaceman

BEST. SHOW. EVER.
He was so good in this role. So good that I was legitimately upset that he couldn't get Geiss out of his diabetic coma and save Jack's promotion
One of my favorite types of characters in tv shows.
9:03 Nobody can say Dr. Spacemen doesn't care about his patients 😂
One of my favorite characters from any show ever.
"Take 25 of these a day for the rest of your life"
Tracy Jordan's Meat Machine is actually healthy! It's Keto friendly! "Meat is the new bread" is the baseline of every Keto diet!
And the "Fun Cooker"!🤣
Tracey was on the Keto kick way back in 09’ with The Meat Machine.
Him walking through the doors covered in blood is typical of this show's greatness
Joke. Second joke. Unexpected even funnier secret joke
“Meat is the new bread!” 😂
If they do a Naked Gun remake, Chris Parnell needs to be Frank Dreben.
I ask my employees to dance when I call them into the office.
As terrible of a doctor Dr. Spaceman is, I always loved him running to Jenna to make her go to sleep cause it's one of the few moments where he genuinely cares about the well being of his patients and went out of his way to help, lol
He's so funny even jusT a few seconds
I love how some scenes of his have that space music in the background😂
Best character in 30 Rock
“Tracy, I don’t know how to say this…”
“It keeps the spine straight” 😂
Spaceman was funny in every scene he was in
Did you know that humans want food, but don’t need it?
Dr. Spaceman is very likely my favorite character on the show.
6:52 “it’s a pill that keeps people awake under any circumstances - it’s currently funded by the US military and the WNBA” 😂 😂 😂 😂
Did you know scientifically speaking, humans want food but don’t need it😊
The Pinnacle of Leo Spaceman is still the Chatterton commericals.
"is it 411 or 911?
...uhh, "diabetes repair" I guess?"
8:56 They got pretzels downstairs!!! 😂😂😂
*sigh* gotta wait for Part 2 now... great vid!
2:49 and cough 😂
"between my medical practice and this job..."
Liz dancing for the shot is absolute gold.
I just noticed he has pig snouts in jars of formaldehyde in his offuce
❤ Dr. Spaceman
Dr Spaceman👨⚕🚀 should've gotten his own show😁
I wasn’t much of a fan of Chris Parnell from his SNL days but I love him in this role.
"science is whatever we want it to be" -Follow the Science!
Ah if Dr Spaceman was in charge when covid happened, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now, because we'd all be enjoying eternal rest.
Technically speaking, for your height, your weight puts you in the disgusting range
Lmao this man is hilarious
he looks like younger eckhart tolle lmao
"OK, this is the gross part."
Totally forgot how funny this show was 😂😂😂
I believe patient confidentiality is a two way street....am cheating on my wife
