30 Rock passes along wise Sims parenting advice

Yes, we'd love to focus on that, but unfortunately, we find it difficult to write about 30 Rock on our humble gaming blog without instead turning your attention to Werewolf Bar Mitzvah. If you've got time to watch both of these clips, please do -- if you only have time for one, it's hard for us to endorse anything except Tracy Jordan's lupine magnum opus.

Please don't use Hulu. It is useless to anyone outside of the United States.
... and if anyone mentions "Hotspot Shield", you can go and suck it.
Matt Rix @ May 13th 2009 5:46PM
yep, hulu doesn't work for me either. please use youtube(or anything else) it if you can.
Johnathan @ May 13th 2009 5:49PM
It's also useless to anyone inside the US, since it regards bandwidth as some kind of delicious ice-cream cake and grudgingly compensates with Youtube-quality video.
Foetoid @ May 13th 2009 5:52PM
Whats wrong with Hotspot Shield? Its a perfectly legitimate tiny download that allows people outside the US to watch clips that are region-locked.
why not the LS2LS7? @ May 13th 2009 5:53PM
youtube videos are illegal and thus get pulled. Especially if sites like joystiq link to them. You're probably more likely to find the clip in question if you search youtube for it than if joystiq links to one, thus making it likely to disappear before you can see it.

A lot of NBC clips get taken down because of copyright stuff.
Happy to see this one is still there, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLpGYTcqHME

Whats? Oh sorry, I was too busy watching the video to hear you BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWING over in Foreigncountrystan
Why do you hate Democracy?
Moptimus Slime (PhilosoRaptor is the new Keyboard Cat) @ May 13th 2009 6:19PM
An even better question would be "Why do you guys hate Sarcasm?"
whylekat @ May 13th 2009 6:55PM
Just make sure it plays on the iPhone... That should be your 1st priority!
Cormier6083 @ May 13th 2009 6:57PM
Well, when something funny or remotely entertaining comes up on BBC iPlayer, they'll be sure to post it here.
Brian @ May 13th 2009 7:09PM
that was last weeks episode not last nights

Nothing's really wrong with Hotspot Shield, but Hulu recently put in place measures that block people trying to use the site via anonymous proxies inside and outside the US, so it's more or less useless.
Saria the Cat @ May 14th 2009 2:54AM
@Dab: Content on Hulu is legal and legitimate. You can't get SHIT on YT when it comes to NBC, they're extremely thorough with copyright protection and pull anything the instant it gets uploaded or put on an unofficial website.
As for being out of the country, there are plenty of ways to get around that...I used a VPN while in Japan, but there are other methods.
And if you want to complain about Joystiq being "unfairly biased towards American readers," well, they're based in America and their target audience is American, and that's life.
JoeTheBlow @ May 14th 2009 4:18AM
Oh way to downvote everyone outside the US.
Arrogant fucking yanks.
Dougp @ May 13th 2009 5:41PM
Um....."last night's episode"? This episode aired last Thursday...6 days ago. It was a good episode though.
Edog Lost @ May 13th 2009 5:50PM
I also wanted to point this out.
Mr French @ May 13th 2009 5:52PM
Yeah you beat me too it. I was like, since when does 30 Rock air on Tuesdays? Oh Joystiq, how well researched ye is. Still love ya.
Mike @ May 13th 2009 6:18PM
Classic Joystiq.
TrojanGuy @ May 13th 2009 7:06PM
Yeah, I was gonna point out the same thing. This happened almost a week ago. Still funny, though!
InFaMoUs1- @ May 13th 2009 5:42PM
oh the Liz Lemon's she cracks me up! =P
warioman64 @ May 13th 2009 5:43PM
Gotta love that Mario reference as well.
Edog Lost @ May 13th 2009 5:51PM
2 video game references in one monologue. That woman has my heart.
Matt @ May 13th 2009 5:50PM
Why don't I have any other blogs I read.....
Moptimus Slime (PhilosoRaptor is the new Keyboard Cat) @ May 13th 2009 5:53PM
Because you have commitment issues.....
LilTmac2003 @ May 13th 2009 5:54PM
30 Rock is hilarious.
Tina Fey is a comedic genius.
Altairio @ May 13th 2009 6:02PM
That part cracked me up. One of the best shows on tv these days.
Anticrawl @ May 13th 2009 6:08PM
How about some Operation Flashpoint 2 love for once Joystiq? I mean you cover all those shit iPhone games but not an amazing shooter like Flashpoint?

THE Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ May 13th 2009 6:13PM
that was hilarious. both clips.
SPOOKY SCARY!
Letters2Kay @ May 13th 2009 6:19PM
I love 30 Rock so much. Tina Fey is hilarious and hot and Tracy Jordan is one of the most original and pleasantly awkward comedians ever...
The writing on the show is great, I love how it constantly has little references to other episodes in the background- almost like Easter eggs. The "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" appears in a couple of episodes and in one episode, Jenna talks about being on the "Japanese Porn Star Diet" (she can only eat paper) and then a few episodes later when Liz goes to get her book signed by Carrie Fisher, the Japanese Porn Star Diet book is sitting on a shelf in one of the shots.

EvinTheSwift @ May 13th 2009 7:12PM
Tina Fey is pheckin gorgeous.
Uncontrol @ May 13th 2009 7:12PM
marry me tina fey
Nicholas Muldoon @ May 13th 2009 7:23PM
Exactly what everyone else said, Tina Fey is absolutely gorgeous and 30 Rock is the best comedy series on tv today. Absolutely awesome seeing it around these parts.
Oh and please, just hoping for the future that nobody brings in politics in here. I mean seriously, it was months ago, it's SNL, they make fun of everyone, so let's just keep this on the awesomeness of 30 Rock, yeah?
Ethan @ May 13th 2009 7:43PM
I thought I'd missed the finale! 30 rock is wonderfully nerdy but doesn't go over the top like the big bang thingy.
Peter @ May 13th 2009 8:43PM
That's because Big Bang is fake-nerdy made by people who like to make fun of nerds through over the top stereotypes and cliches (but make them sympathetic awww). 30 Rock is legit.

How can you call this one of your favorite shows if you don't even know when it airs???
Douche Bigalow @ May 13th 2009 11:17PM
Tina Fey is an unfunny douchebag - she leaned on Amy Poehler for laughs and for some reason got all the credit.
Ergo, anybody who likes Tina Fey is, by extension, also a douchebag.
There's a reason this show never pulls a significant viewer ratio: it's lame. And it's like the ten fans of the show relish in the show not being funny, like watching it is a badge of membership in some douchebag club.
Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ May 13th 2009 11:47PM
"WAAAAAAH I DON'T LIKE THIS SHOW SO ANYONE WHO LIKES IT IS DUMB!!! WAAAAAH"
I know this is the internet, but goddamn grow the fuck up.
Comet @ May 14th 2009 12:02AM
You do know she wrote Amy's material right? You know when she was busy being the first female Head writer on SNL? Yeahhhh.
Enyu @ May 14th 2009 1:05AM
You know, your name suits you. Yeah, she leaned on someone for laughs whose material she wrote. I do that all the time. You know, reading your post, it's almost like you've never watched an episode of 30 Rock. Because it's funny, and anyone with a sense of humor can see that.
Robert Maynard @ May 14th 2009 1:27AM
Man, and I thought it was just your politics that were retarded, Douche.
VoiceofHarold @ May 14th 2009 1:55AM
Tina Fey "absolutely gorgeous" "comedic genius"... that's like saying Sean Penn would make a believable Marcus Fenix.
Some of you sound brainwashed! It reads like like those fake reviews by the manufacturer lackeys...
Nobody remembers back when SNL was actually consistently funny? Like before the "great" Tina Fey got there?
Bearxor @ May 14th 2009 10:02AM
I agree with you. I never liked Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin or Tracy Morgan and have generally shyed away from anything they do. SNL under Fey was especially bad and she's not funny in movies at all. Tracy Morgan just makes me want to slap him when he talks and, lets face it, Alec Baldwin is a F.A.G.
Having said that...
30 Rock is by far the funniest show on TV now and ranks way up there for all time, IMO. The characters on this show just 'click' for me. I make a point to watch it every week that it's on and when I'm bored I have all of the episodes downloaded so I can go back and watch my favs.
If you're avoiding 30 Rock because you don't like Fey, you should give it an honest chance.
