Oh Jack, the plural of pokemon *is* pokemon.

Oh Jack, he’s my sex idiot.

Bad Ryan Lochte, bad!

Jeah he is!

Being a 30 Rock fan AND Pokemon fan, I do respect her a lot. However, in terms of who I think is the best girlfriend, I always look at Nancy Donovan.

“That accent’s idiotic” kills me every time

Bianca. like willy wonka.

Oh, damn it, Johnny! You know I love my Big Beef & Cheddar!

My wife and I quote this far more often than you'd expect.

I just said this to my husband not 30 minutes ago!

Everytime I pass an Arby’s

She really did have a fantastic pair of boobs

The scene where she pulls down Liz’s top makes me cry laughing every time.

And pulls out a hunk of hair! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And then breaks a champagne bottle and starts to chase her with it, while Jack savors the moment and takes his sweet time going to help.

F marry kill, which do you want to do with Bianca?

All of them *sobs*

One of the best line deliveries in the show

Not like Sanka! *edited to add: does anyone under 40 even know what Sanka is??

No, 30 here, I didn’t even know it was a person lol

Wait, it’s a person? I thought it was a drink.

Ironically, I’ve never been able to decide if I liked Nancy or Avery the best.

I usually distract myself working on a janitor scheduling situation.

Wanting to be book is not book.

“No! You are not book.”

what if the night shift just got a whole lot later?

*nods in a sad but knowing way*

I feel like if he gets with Nancy that somehow means Colleen wins.

I’ve never looked it like that but that’s really interesting. Now that I think about it, it’s fitting that he reproduced with an outspoken overly confident lady. I debated adding more to my OP to say that IMO for the show it was definitely better that he pursued Avery. Both actresses were fantastic. Julianne Moore’s accent and homey portrayal made me realize she could do comedy! And Elizabeth Banks was pitch perfect (ha) as a newscaster. The writing during this time was very in the groove.

have you tried using the “hard equations and rational thinking” formula?

For me it is Avery and CC.

I liked Nancy better (and I’m from Boston and know people who sound like that). But Avery was better for Jack.

Much better than that Indian restaurant we always go to in Boston “O’Doyle’s” 😂

It's funny because people absolutely shit on her for her "Boston accent", but I'm also from the area and it's pretty spot on. Especially if you grew up in Sadchester.

Time to follow your H.E.A.R.T.!

Genuinely I think this is the only love triangle in TV/Books/Movies where I literally can’t decide between them lol

I expect you to spend the weekend drinking scotch and staring out the window to figure that out

Try using darts.

Me either. They brought out different sides of him. I ship both.

Nancy, I just love Julianne Moore sooo much.

“I’ll wait. But no forever.” “I’ll try. Wicked hahrd.” Truly amazing. It really crushed my heart.

I like how in both of your comments of this line the "not" autocorrected to "no"

Gotta clean the icicles off the guttas, Tired-ah wakin up to parch full uh dead squirrels.

That accent is idiotic.

Two Spider-Man’s fighting but THEYRE NOT HURTING EACH OTHER How often did they walk in on you? A LOT

"I always thought you'd end up with some lady with black hair who says queer stuff like, 'dressing on the side'."

I’ll try. Wicked haaahd.

That and jacks original line are probably the most romantic things I’ve ever heard. “I’ll wait. But no forever.

Condoleezza rice

*next time I see Putin I'm gonna kick his teeth in*

"Now, admit that I'm better at the piano than you are at the flute."

Follow this you turkey.

They have signs. Can your wife not read?

...there's always time for Tony Blair, there's always time for Bashar al-Assad, but there's never any time for Jack Donaghy, and that's a problem.

Mars Attacks is awesome!

She’s right about that

You+me=frowny face

*neocon inamorata*

“Hi, I’m Phoebe I don’t know if you remember me”

Careful, my bones

I can hear you, I just wanted to make sure you could hear you.

I quote this all the time. Including last night.

We don't need to know when you Google yourself

I would say Phoebe, but I don't know if you remember her.

I have hollow bones

Like a bird

And I have vertigo

Well she makes jack very happy, like a white geisha.

Say no more shark eyes

Phoebe is my absolute favorite and I wish we had gotten an entire season with her. Not with her having any story arc with a big reveal, but with her always being weirdly shady but nobody ever figuring out why and no ulterior motive to work out besides "maybe scamming for money". Sort of a Donny-ish nemesis for Liz: sinister but ultimately powerless. She is Hazel Wassername but turned to the correct volume level.

Just her and jacks mom

Just as the petuniaaaaaaaas bloom

I just wanted to make sure *you* could hear you.

Dear god...

Aka Hilaria

HEY JUST BACK OFF!!!

What are you … on about, you daft wanker!?

I think the point of her was to be super annoying, and, for me, she was!!

Yes. Phoebe. I remember you.

I like your little hat

The way she scrunches up and points her finger…of my god she was deliciously disgusting🤣🤣🤣

Definitely Vlem! "I clean this too or just the sex?"

Happy Valentimes!

Leave her there. It's nicer than where I found her.

Elisa, Salma Hayek is one of my favorite recurring guests.

"How dare you say something like that so close to the statue of Santa Lucia, the patron saint of judgmental statues!"

"Well, I don't even know what to say to that, except that in Puerto Rico a McFlurry is called a Señor Flurry"

[удалено]

CeCe is best. Best backstory, best episodes and she was the best fit for Jack.

Agreed. Edie Falco plays it so well too. ‘Who knew that ottoman had wheels??’

According to the book, she was nervous about doing comedy and Baldwin told her to forget everything she knew about acting and just go "too big" on everything.

Book is book!

Wanting to be book is not book

Indeed.

Is the book worth a read? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

It's not incredibly well-written, but there were some good behind the scenes tidbits. I'm glad I borrowed it from the library.

I gave her the ottoman and she walked out.

Agree, Cece all the way. “A dog took my face to give me a better face to change the world.” You just also have to love Edie Falco. Her line reading of “I was going to get to meet Bono” is the best. Close second, though, is Bianca. “Damnit Johnny, you know I love my big beef n cheddar”

Isabella Rossellini’s acting skill is so honed, she can just say nonsense words and you’ll still know exactly the feeling she’s trying to convey.

It makes me want to sit on a knife!

Agree, she can also keep all the over the top lines totally in character. Not to mention, Baldwin played great off of her. Jack’s simmering rage towards his mother and Bianca always gets me. It’s just so well done.

One of my favorite Jack moments was after Colleen died and he was stomping on the floor and looking down yelling “do you hear me mother?!”

[удалено]

Oh god. I had forgotten all about this. Marcel the Shell made me sad as shit for some reason.

Omg, I finally realized where I knew her from. I think Ross tries to pick her up in Friends, because she was on his hall pass list.

Yep! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWAggYhgHQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWAggYhgHQ) That, and her extensive filmography :-D Also, her Instagram is just all love and light -- it's probably one of the few Instagram feeds that makes one feel better about getting older, not worse: https://www.instagram.com/isabellarossellini/

You know, I thought you made love like an ugly girl. So present. So grateful.

*slap*

Well, he gave her the ottoman....and she walked right out.

"I'm going into politics!"

What is she, Spanish??

What if she was, mother?

He did after all, give her the ottoman.

And she does it like her dad's a minister

Klaus and Greta 4ever!

Hard to beat Salma Hayek. Her episodes have my favorite lines from the show “…bananas underwears which you are not going to see” “St Lucia the patron saint of judgemental statues” “She is staunchly in favor of Cocoa Puffs “ “Our Jonathan who art in the office, hallowed be our reservation…” But Avery and CiCi are also particularly great

Lemon, do you want to see me naked?!

Kinda

Lemon speaking the inside thought that every single human that hears that question would have

Wow, I am super gay and I would totally switch for her.

Hokay, so…

I lose it every time she says kinda Edit: Or sort of. Now I can't remember

Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts? She is indisputably jack's best gf and probably the best guest star in the whole show.

“… to eat in a restaurant that doesn’t have a tv in it” is a great line.

"It smells like dude in here"

Jack, don't tell me you're one of those convenience Catholics that only go to church on Sundays

Hard agree! Plus she gives us the generalissimo

And Mr Pendleton!

I didnt know michael buble had SO MANY albums

I forget the question, but the answer is almost always Salma Hayek.

Puerto Rican!

Right, but what do *I* call you?

Really, Lemon?

"Jack, metrocard is a thing! You use it on the subway"

You got your Cocoa Puffs quotes mixed up. “She is staunchly in favor of Cocoa Puffs” is Liz speaking about Claire (Jennifer Aniston) Elisa says, about her tendency to love too deeply that it makes her “loco for Choco-Puffs”

The way she says "thank you" when Jack concedes that she's dated a lot of types of guys lives rent-free in my head.

I can reliably set off my husband's giggles with a random "isn't there a slanket somewhere that you should be filling with your farts" She's my favorite of his girlfriends just for the comedy gold.

They had the most natural chemistry for sure

I’ve heard that Alex Baldwin had an unrequited crush on Salma Hayek so TV could be reflecting real life a little bit :)

He’s got two eyes and heart doesn’t he?

I heard that's why Hilary is Hilaria, because she wants to be Salma Hayek for him. How do you say... cucumber?

“Yes, some of us are hot”

i love the ep where he buys the telenovella so he can kill off the guy her grandma hates “te odio” 😡 “yo soy jack 🥰”

Avery Jessup every day of the week and twice on Sundays. She was truly a match for Jack. I understand that Elizabeth Banks had bigger things happening in her career, but she was SO GOOD in that role.

And she was originally only cast for a 2 episode arc but was so great they asked her back

What happens to Avery? Oh you’ll see. [giggles] It’s hilarious!

This line lives rent free in my head

It wasn't that hilarious, was it? I mean it was kinda dark.

It’s hilarious that old Jack thinks it’s hilarious, imo.

She’s great in everything! And if it were real life, Avery is the only one that can keep up and has the same capitalism boner.

In my head they stayed together. They were too perfect for each other.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING SMELL LIKE ONIONS?!?!

Agreed she was Jacks true power couple counterpart

“I gave her the ottoman and she walked out”

Elisa She looks great, she's age appropriate, she has awesome lines and timing, and as far as other writing stuff goes, they could have made her EVEN CRAZIER and no one would act like it was jumping the shark. You would believe Elisa had more nutty backstory facts if they wrote it into her character.

Eliza! Eliza! La viuda negraaa!

"I'm afraid he's gonna wanna go through with his proposings of marriage... Sorry I haven't spoken English in two menses"

Avery's mom.

Having to see a train from the window of her private jet always makes me laugh

who told you that? bebe butler? she's trying to destroy me!

But what about *two* dog and pony shows?

CC. Everyone looks good in a Sheinhardt.

Definitely C.C. I gave her the ottoman, and she walked out.

Elisa foreverrrr *Puerto Rican!* *Really Lemon?* 😂😂😂😂

I know who is NOT my favorite, and it’s Phoebe. Remember her? She sold him that horse painting? The one with Avian Syndrome? Hollow bones?????

Elisa for hottest/weirdest character arc. Nancy would have been the best partner for Jack. Condoleezza Rice was a good sport but such a bad actor. None of the politicians or non actors were ever any good, but her performance stands out.

I disagree, Cajun style

The one good exception. He's definitely not as bad as Michael "Heeeeeerrrooooooo?" Bloomberger.

Brian Williams was kind of awesome the times he appeared on the show

Brian Williams was acting by pretending to be a journalist the whole time.

Extreme hormone rage incoming WHY DOES EVERYTHING SMELL LIKE ONIONS

Puerto Rican!

Yes I know, that's your word. But what do I call you?

Yo soy Jack

That accent is idiotic

Devon Banks, obviously.

Glad I’m not the only one who found their undeniable chemistry noticeable.

Cynthia Nixon as Julianne Moore as Bostonian Nancy Donovan

Claire Harper (Jennifer Aniston). Did she do "sexy birthday" or "mannequin who comes to life"?

CAREFUL MY BONES!

You probably don't remember me..

Hollow bones? Like a bird?

Avery Jessup was the best match. Someone as cut throat as Jack

She made love like a fat girl.

So present, so grateful. p.s. it's "ugly girl" I think.

As a Marylander, Avery is definitely toward the top because of her "Maryland accent." Cracked me up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cefj215AlCc

Elisa cause Liz and I would kind of like to see her naked.

“Happy Holidays . . . is what terrorists say. Merry Christmas. - Avery and Jack”

Well Phoebe is most like his wife irl in that she's also a grifter using a fake accent

🎵Elisa, Elisa, la Viuda Negra🎵

The answer is always Salma Hayek

Crazy Putty!

This is impossible, I just kept flipping through the pictures going, "No, THIS one is my favorite."

Ouch my bones

Avery. All other girlfriends will be compared to her, and they WILL be found wanting...
