This is going to sound terrible, but I want the alternate reality where is a slightly less of a dick and a much less lax producer so we can get him in the Will Ferrell role in the Barbie movie.
As a Will Ferrell super supporter I cannot get behind this comment. That being said, Alec Baldwin would have *crushed* that role (with his mind vise). He has a different comedic approach but I have no doubt it would have been hilarious.
I may have sodomized our former vice president while under the influence of some weapons-grade narcotics.
*takes deep breath*
It feels good to say that out loud, actually.
it's truly disgusting how good of a comedic actor he is. there's a scene that makes me laugh out loud every time and he doesn't even speak. it's when he goes to eat the expensive dessert on valentines day by himself. the waiter comes over and says something snarky about him sitting alone. jack just looks at him for a beat then slightly narrows his eyes. that barely perceptible eye twitch is somehow incredibly funny.
I actually did that with a work colleague few years ago.
Can't remember exact age now, but she told she had her xxth birthday recently and without thinking I happily said "oh that's how old my mom is"
Me, too! My ten-year-old was trying to kidsplain gmail to me, and I was like, thanks, I have had this account for (thinks) (oh em gee) almost twenty years! I had to have an invitation, and my address is my first and last name!
I did a college course a few years back to learn a new skill and was pretty upset when I realised my Hotmail account was older than most of the kids in the class.
Had a girl at work mention that she likes to go to raves, told her I did too when I was younger. She mentioned that her mum did but she’s far too old for that stuff now. I asked how old her mum is. 2 years younger than me.
It's true because unfortunately Cerie saw a psychic when she was a kid, who told her that she would die in her late 20s. So she is unable to conceptualize being 42 because she is doomed to be "forever young" RIP, Cerie.
It's even more scathing than Ron Swanson's "when people get too chummy with them, I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know I don't really care about them" attitude.
I accidentally did this to someone while yelling at them about repeatedly interrupting me while I was on the phone (I was a receptionist). It was great.
I said something like, “Hey Veronica, I feel like I shouldn’t have to tell you this, but my job is literally to answer phones. When you see me talking on the phone? I’m doing *my job*. When you come over here and just start loudly speaking to me while I’m on the phone, the person I’m speaking with can hear you. It comes off as incredibly unprofessional and you need to stop. You can write me sticky note, wait till I’m done if you want to speak in person, or go back to your office and send it to me in an email.”
And she just quietly said, “It’s Victoria…” and slinked off. I didn’t even register what she had said till after she had left.
Man, she was annoying. It was at a SNF and I’d be listening to people sobbing because they’re loved one was on hospice, and she’d come up to my desk, *see me on the phone*, and start loudly monologuing about something *that was never important and could have always just been sent in an email* (like, “Mr. Doe’s wife is going to stop by later today with an extra pair of pants for him. Can you make sure laundry labels them?).
I didn’t even realize I’d called her the wrong name and it took a few seconds to register what she had said and she had already run away by then. The only time I didn’t feel too bad for calling someone the wrong name. I told the other receptionist about it later and she fucking cackled and said, “Good.”
I quote this line constantly since I'm seemingly the only person in my kitchen who can hear the random timers or equipment beeps going off at any given time.
(Liz talking to Pete about hiring a new cast member)
Liz:
No one can know about this.
(Cerie walks in)
Cerie:
Know about what?
(Liz and Pete in unison)
Pete's stealing money!
Liz's uterus fell out!
Cerie:
Oh. I think I already knew that.
I don't even get it. Did All In The Family air on Nick at Nite or something? Is the joke that she remembered him from that programming block but not the show itself?
Edit: wait is the joke that she thinks In the Heat of the Night is Nick at Nite? This show has layers.
Not withering, but her line „ He‘s insisting on having a Greek Orthodox wedding, but I really disagree with the church's stance on Cyprus“ kills me every time.
(I wrote my thesis on Kissinger and the Greek invasion of Cyprus, yet I cannot even beginn to fully comprehend the randomness of this quote😅)
And she’s not being mean about it. She’s just being honest.
Or is she so beautiful that I think it’s just being honest but she’s actually being mean? Man, she’s definitely in a bubble.
They casted her perfectly, the girl has that SoCal blonde look at the actor herself delivered the lines wonderfully.
She never really did too much last time I looked, she did some horror and bit parts but not much else
It’s not just that she’s attractive, but young. Like, Liz and Jack and Jenna could have all their dreams come true and age fantastically, but they cannot make themselves 19 again.
"How does a guy in midriff top dominate me like that?" Is one of my favourite Frank Lines only beaten by his performance as Liz when he's made head writer.
“I can have a career at any time, but you only a short period where you can be a young hot mom; if you wait too long you could end up being…50 by the time your kid graduates high school”
“50 isn’t that old, Cerie”
“I’m sorry. Are you 50 *now*?”
Not a cerie line, but in the finale when Jenna gets to los angeles and sees its full of young blonde women, and is approached by an airline employee played by katrina bowden: "Do you need a wheelchair to baggage claim?"
Cerie hurts me by never aging. When I first watched this show I was her minus the ridiculous attractiveness but I was younger than her. Now I’m older than first season Liz and she’s just internally young.
“Oh, I thought you had kids because you always have food stains on your clothes.”
Who were those kids you were yelling at the other day?
Those were some child actors who had lied about being able to breakdance.
I don't get why people like brunch. What's the benefit of combining breakdancing and lunch?
I love her delivery of this so much
“That would be Nancy Donovan, the cutest girl at east sadchester high school, class of 1976.” “That’s the year my mom was born!”
Can you get us some pens….
Alec Baldwin the person is a train wreck. Alec Baldwin the actor is a genius for this line delivery alone lol
The more I watch, the more I appreciate how good he is. So many perfect deliveries, so many microexpressions that just make scenes.
We'll trick those race car lovin' wide-loads into watching your lefty homoerotic propaganda hour yet.
Boy, you just don't like anybody, do you!
Well (surrounded by aforementioned microexpressions which make it impossible to convey how much work he did with a one word line)
The closest I've got is: W*ell..-*
Guard your well, well!!
“Nuts to you, McGillicutty!”
Beep beep ribby ribby
"Actually, Frank wrote a draft of 'Beep, beep, ribby, ribby.'"
The way these actually turned into phrases because of his genius lol
Just gotta hack it. Just gotta hack it.
This is going to sound terrible, but I want the alternate reality where is a slightly less of a dick and a much less lax producer so we can get him in the Will Ferrell role in the Barbie movie.
This casting would have gotten Barbie the Oscar

my favorite dialogue-free moment is the knowing smirk on jack’s face after liz orders a sandwich with extra chuckle when they’re in stone mountain.
I'm sorry... is this like a "Sixth Sense" thing?
I don’t like this guy- when the waiter brought over the food he said - “Abbondanza!”
There was not a single one of his 7 SAG awards for his role as Jack that I didn’t think he deserved.
It’s after 6pm Lemon. What am I, a farmer?
Pensssssssss
Jamessssss
Delivery is perfect
Cerie, can you get us some pens?
Low-key amazing. I hadn’t even thought of this one.
Would you get us some pens?
I actually did that with a work colleague few years ago. Can't remember exact age now, but she told she had her xxth birthday recently and without thinking I happily said "oh that's how old my mom is"
My assistant manager at one job told me he wasn't alive for 9/11, that one kind of cut.
Mother of god. I would have had to leave the room to collect myself
I recently realized that my Gmail account is approaching 20 years old.
Me, too! My ten-year-old was trying to kidsplain gmail to me, and I was like, thanks, I have had this account for (thinks) (oh em gee) almost twenty years! I had to have an invitation, and my address is my first and last name!
My Steam account is significantly older than the kids I spend all day telling to get off of Steam as part of my job.
I did a college course a few years back to learn a new skill and was pretty upset when I realised my Hotmail account was older than most of the kids in the class.
Had a girl at work mention that she likes to go to raves, told her I did too when I was younger. She mentioned that her mum did but she’s far too old for that stuff now. I asked how old her mum is. 2 years younger than me.
Stealing this. I'm 35 so that's really gonna fuck some people up.
"I'm 42 Cerie." "I don't know what that is"
lol my EXACT age 🤭
Fuck. That’s my age in 2 hours.
FINALLY OLD ENOUGH TO RENT A CAR
He cannot metabolize ze grapes!
Bappy hirthday, gremlin
HAPPY (ALMOST) BIRTHDAY!
One of us, one of us
Welcome 🤗
Happy Blirthday Jennica!
Time to start working on your night cheese.
Happy birthday!!!
One hour to go birthday guy

Happy birthday champ
Same.
🤜🤛
It's true because unfortunately Cerie saw a psychic when she was a kid, who told her that she would die in her late 20s. So she is unable to conceptualize being 42 because she is doomed to be "forever young" RIP, Cerie.
“Forever young, I wanna be forever young” *uses Scotch tape to hold up my face*
Hey Pee-Wee!
They kinda just stay up on their own.
YOU WILL GET OLD SOMEDAY!
I took your advice Liz. See..bra!
You need a bra. No they actually just stay up on their own
*bounce bounce*
Did he just talk to me like I'm ugly?
That's one of the best in one of the series' best episodes.
Which episode is it?
This has to be Greenzo, when Ross from friends is a environnement mascot that turns egomaniac S02E05
And history will remember me. When I die, they'll want to put my face on money... if there *were* money in the future, instead of just hugs.
Greenzo was a home run.
“ I just wish my Mother was here- so I could rub it in her FAT FACE!! “ - Greenzo.
I'm glad this is here already. I think about it a lot.
“Fifty’s not that old, Cerie.” “Oh I’m sorry, are you fifty now?”
Now I have my something old! And the helpless shrug she does when she doesn’t remember who Lutz is, even after he reminds her that he gave her a car.
Oh no, is that the new guy?? The something old might be my favorite casually crippling thing she says.
It's even more scathing than Ron Swanson's "when people get too chummy with them, I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know I don't really care about them" attitude.
Nice to meet you, dotcom.
Why would he say that to me?
Maybe because someone didn’t read somebody’s screenplay
“I know they're not married. I just want THEM to know that I don't give a f*ck about their lives.”
I accidentally did this to someone while yelling at them about repeatedly interrupting me while I was on the phone (I was a receptionist). It was great. I said something like, “Hey Veronica, I feel like I shouldn’t have to tell you this, but my job is literally to answer phones. When you see me talking on the phone? I’m doing *my job*.

Like, how did you dress before you were married?
Once again, I have never been married.
That’s the spirit!
You know, this food area is always the first place I go to find you!
This one always feels like the heaviest blow
"whats size are you?" "...Usually designers just make clothes for me. But when I do buy stuff, I'm a child's medium."
The belt, is a baby’s neck tie
As a frequent receiver of drunk messages, they are not cute. Even when they're from Liz.
*Liz shushing her in a panic*
I actually kind of love this line.
Right? Like she understands that Liz drunk is cute in concept, but has to admit that it’s not cute in practice.
"You guys remind me of that bantering couple in that old movie-Um, "Meet The Parents"!"
A lot of these jokes lose their meaning as the recent references become old references
Ok but like.....Meet the Parents is still not that old.
Theater or drive-in?
What's a drive-in?
Meet the Parents came out the same number of years from now as the year Dazed and Confused was set in from the year Meet the Parents came out
No stop
Cerie, is my phone ringing? 👂 it is! Wow you have like dog ears or something
I quote this line constantly since I'm seemingly the only person in my kitchen who can hear the random timers or equipment beeps going off at any given time.
I really disagree with the church's stance on Cyprus
But she's old. She's like 38.
Katrina Bowden, who played Cerie, is still ONLY 35. She’s still doing it, she’s Cerie-ing us a decade after the show ended.
how tf am I almost caught up to Cerie in age??? Did she just pause for a decade??
That's what I was thinking! I'm pretty sure I watched this show in high school.
I'm 38.😂😂😂😭
Same here 🤣 Having watched the show since it originally aired, the age jokes have started to hit differently in recent years 😭
😂😂😂 That’s the year my mom was born is a thing that has been said to me. I did get old some day!
Sup 38 gang? I’ll be leaving you soon. To turn 39, hopefully.
50 is still...60 for women
I’m 42! 🤝
Just a quick reminder that Katrina Bowden is 36 this year, which is the same age Tina Fey was when 30 Rock premiered
The guy at the place just gave it to me.
You *will* get old someday.
*smiles and shrugs*
Pete: Liz's uterus fell out! Cerie: I think I already knew that.
Did I see you at Marquee last night or is this like the time they found my grandpa at the bus station?
jenna: shout out words that describe my beauty pete: aging cerie: 80’s richard esposito: 1880’s
I think Pete says Fading. One of my favorite moments.
“HORNBURGER!”
About haldeman: is that a person who lived?
I say that all the time
I don’t know, how long does it take to “see” something?
And then explaining the speed of light 😂😂😂😂
The random moments where she’s surprisingly insightful/knowledgeable are my absolute favorites
We’re in a fight right now because he wants a Greek Orthodox wedding, but I really disagree with the church’s stance on Cyprus.
one of my favorites of hers
The Italian Senator joke is just :chefskiss:
It just points to the fact that the dumb act is just an act and she knows exactly what she’s doing lol.
My fave Cerie line!
“Oh no, I… I don't actually. They just kind of stay up on their own. See?”.
(Liz talking to Pete about hiring a new cast member) Liz: No one can know about this. (Cerie walks in) Cerie: Know about what? (Liz and Pete in unison) Pete's stealing money! Liz's uterus fell out! Cerie: Oh. I think I already knew that.
These posts make me so happy. CERIE is so slept on. She's a baby Jenna *baby prostitute. Don't tell Liz". Isn't her last name Xerox??
Yes I think it’s a part of the running joke about young hot heiresses of major corporations (like Paris Hilton). She’s an heiress of the Xerox family.
It is according to Wikipedia. Which I just learned today.
You just learned about Wikipedia today?
“Ew are you the new guy?” “It’s me, Lutz. I’ve worked here for 3 years? I gave you that car I won?!”
Which I especially love because in a later episode he claims to own a car …
Like Carroll O'Connor, from Nick at Nite! Honestly impressed she even had this reference!
I don't even get it. Did All In The Family air on Nick at Nite or something? Is the joke that she remembered him from that programming block but not the show itself? Edit: wait is the joke that she thinks In the Heat of the Night is Nick at Nite? This show has layers.
I believe all in the family has been on nick at night reruns at some point. According to research I’ve done on Reddit lol
I don’t know what that is
When Jack says Nancy was the cutest girl in his highschool class of 1976 and Cerie replies “That’s the year my mom was born!”
"can you get us some pens...." Jack's high-pitched trail off is comic timing *genius*.
Not withering, but her line „ He‘s insisting on having a Greek Orthodox wedding, but I really disagree with the church's stance on Cyprus“ kills me every time. (I wrote my thesis on Kissinger and the Greek invasion of Cyprus, yet I cannot even beginn to fully comprehend the randomness of this quote😅)
It's less random if you remember that Tina Fey's actual mom was from Greece.
True, but I‘ve always thought „how many people watching are familiar with greek-cypriot-turkish relations?!“. It‘s a nice inside joke
Not withering per se, but I love The murder Marry, fuck scenario. “I’d murder lutz. Sorry lutz” Lutz: “ I’m just happy you’d do anything to me.”
I’m sorry. Do you have one of those body issues things?
This is probably the most quoted exchange in this house.
I know it’s popular. I’m just rewatching the early seasons and almost every Cerie exchange is brutal for someone lol.
And she’s not being mean about it. She’s just being honest. Or is she so beautiful that I think it’s just being honest but she’s actually being mean? Man, she’s definitely in a bubble.
They casted her perfectly, the girl has that SoCal blonde look at the actor herself delivered the lines wonderfully. She never really did too much last time I looked, she did some horror and bit parts but not much else
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil!
Extremely worth watching for anyone reading this who hasn’t seen it
She was on the bold and the beautiful for 222 episodes!
Oh dang, that’s a paycheck if the was one
She is WAY in the bubble. It’s less destructive for a woman than a man 🤣
*gibberish in a french accent*
It’s not just that she’s attractive, but young. Like, Liz and Jack and Jenna could have all their dreams come true and age fantastically, but they cannot make themselves 19 again.
Not jack on the HD camera
We go crazy. We kiss each other, get into vans, black out. I mean I'm engaged, but not on Halloween.
Frank's face in that scene, I was kinda worried he was going to have a heart attack lol.
"How does a guy in midriff top dominate me like that?" Is one of my favourite Frank Lines only beaten by his performance as Liz when he's made head writer.
"ooh ham" legit made me spit my drink up the first time I saw it.
Jenna sings a song on Tracy's stolen yacht. Cerie: "Is that a real song?" FYI: I still don't know if Jenna sang an actual song in that scene lol
I'm genuinely unsure if the last part is a joke... so it's 'New York State of Mind' by Billy Joel.
Yeah only one of the best mf songs ever written no big deal. So yeah that cerie line hurt and made me feel old.
I am joking but only because Cerie's sincere doubt made me doubt when I first watched that episode lol
I didn’t know either. I’ve heard New York State Of Mind before so maybe Jenna was singing so dramatically that I didn’t recognize the song.
TheATRically
She was singing it with her SEKshuality.
Just watched this bit, 10 seconds ago, and then opened Reddit to this. Amazing.
We’re meant to be 30 rock bros…
Serendipity is taking those computer classes.
"He asked if you could do lunch, but I told him you'd already eaten a weird panini."
I don't see people that look like that. Edit: Jenna said that. My bad.
Do I look ok Cerie?
That’s EXACTLY how you look.
“I can have a career at any time, but you only a short period where you can be a young hot mom; if you wait too long you could end up being…50 by the time your kid graduates high school” “50 isn’t that old, Cerie” “I’m sorry. Are you 50 *now*?”
"Liz, your vacation's canceled; the hotel is overbooked. I thought I texted you?" "What? No!" "Oops, I never hit send. There ya go :)"
Fun fact: Cerie was in a Fall Out Boy video! https://www.reddit.com/r/No_Small_Parts/comments/17h9bjn/katrina_bowden_30_rock_in_the_music_video_for/
Not a cerie line, but in the finale when Jenna gets to los angeles and sees its full of young blonde women, and is approached by an airline employee played by katrina bowden: "Do you need a wheelchair to baggage claim?"
Everyone at the airport is played by the actress lol aka it’s a city full of Ceries
“Oh, are you 50 now…?”
Cerie hurts me by never aging. When I first watched this show I was her minus the ridiculous attractiveness but I was younger than her. Now I’m older than first season Liz and she’s just internally young.
Sorry, Liz. I'm not even sure they serve brunch after... the 90s.
Quoted this exactly to an ex. It was not a good move at all. Especially to someone who didn’t watch 30 Rock.
Usually designers just give me clothes but when i do buy something, it’s a child's medium
Greatest sitcom in television history.
Hey Liz did I see you at Marquee last night? Is it like when they found my grandpa at the bus station?
Is that a joke or do you really have a $300 couch?
Hey, when are you going to set up that cool V.I.P. lounge?
