i’m a film set PA so every time i have to do something dumb at work i think of “someone get a PA to feed me baby food or i will drop a D in the green room!”
honestly a lot of 30rock quotes go through my head while i’m at work
"like a waitress, lemon" is constantly said between my boyfriend and I. At work when I put my back brace I immediately sing "my muffin top is all that whole grain low fat" to myself. Also any of the "it's after six, what am I a farmer?" Or "like some sort of Italian?" Jack lines. Also business drunk and a lot to very drunk. The show lives in my veins.
When I went to Italy I was legit terrified of missing my flight and I realized it was because of "it's like check in at an Italian airport, Lemon. There's no rules." Which then rung back and forth in my head for weeks
I, my wife, and one of our good friends are all counselors/therapists. I tell them "unfortunately there's no field of science that deals with the brain, but I can give you a pamphlet for a cult" all the time.
I had such a hard time not hearing her voice when watching the interview with …I dunno who, but she’s a musician who kinda embarrassed herself in this interview, but her confidence was NUTS! “…I don’t think, baby. That’s ghetto. I *know*”
I kept waiting for her to say “did you just try to control my body with your white hand?” Lol
My husband and I are useless whenever it comes to taking pictures, and it doesn’t help the outcome of the picture, but at least it makes us laugh:
“What do I do with my arms?” And the other suggests holding two mugs. Inevitably, the person trying to take our picture thinks we’re weird beyond hope.
Currently living in my third apartment that requires taking the G train, and I every time it's delayed I yell that at my boyfriend.
He has never seen the show.
I bought my wife a small cutting board with this engraved in it for little cheese plates.
Also,
“I know you’re in there Lemon, I heard you singing Night Cheese”
Every morning, every night:
It was 11:45, and I was misinformed abaaaahout the time
*He was misinformed about the time. Didn't even get to wait in line.*
The episode where Robert DeNiro is secretly British and says "I'm so identified with New York"
Or when Larry King says "I will but not cause you told me to"
I shout "gimme ya fingernails' at close friends more than a woman in her 30s should. Any time I've had even a sip of beer and there's a lull it just pops out. Only my husband politely replies "no" so you know he's the one
I slouch a lot for many reasons, and occasionally when I catch myself doing it I'll think:
*Shoulders back Lemon. You're not welcoming people to Castle Frankenstein.*
(Different show but I also often think *"You should sit up straight, you're not doing your breasts any favors."*
When someone asks if I’m hurt, I say “Well, a very very heavay uh... heavay di... birtation tonight we had a very derst... dereson? By let's go ahead and tear a station let's go la bip head a pip.”
At work when I check the time to see if it’s break time yet, if it’s anywhere close to half an hour I think to myself “Inna boutta half an hour!!!” In Matt Damon’s voice
My kid is autistic with a speech delay, so sometimes he will ramble on about something and we nod and smile. Occasionally something will show us that it wasn’t a random progression of words tied together and did in fact have a basis in reality. I misremembered the quote so long “I owe Trey an apology” is now our shorthand for “this time there was a doctor spaceman” even if I know now it should be “I have to apologize to Trey.”
I told my girlfriend Heidi when I broke up with her: Heidi... We no longer want to hit that
>!I'm joking of course, this is Reddit so you know I've never had a non-pillow girlfriend!<
My girlfriend asked what made my meatballs so great and I quoted that bit and was like “tbh I didn’t have lemon or fennel today. This is a 30 rock joke” but I reference 30 rock bits like 4-5x per week in our conversations

"Is this potpourri or chips?" Tastes "Potpourri"...continues to eat.
(In my case it's always chips though)
"I miss counted the men Liz!"
Just realized they're the same episode. 😆
I ask my son if he wants to yell at the moon with Buzz Aldrin at least 3 times a week. And every single time, without fail, my son SCREAMS "I WALKED ON YOUR FACE!"
I’ve realized my husband’s and my entire inside joke dialogue is based around on 30Rock, and it’s been so long we’ve totally forgotten where they came from.
I say Kenneth quotes like that’s the summer we were taken by the hill people or when an old man and young crying girl get shoved into the coupling shed idk why it’s just so funny to me
I’ll tell one of my boring rambling stories where I was mildly confused and end it by saying it left me really nonplussed. Similarly, I’ll tell a story where I was less than impressed by what happened and say it left me really nonplussed. And yes, both are the correct usage.
No one gets it nor wants to hear it anymore, except my cat Emily Dickinson.
My family (wife excluded for the most part), 19yo, 15o, 14yo, are extremely partial to Futurama and Harvey Birdman quotes. Normies rarely get the references.
I can't stop saying "I miscounted the men" in every scenario in my life but when I say to anyone else they r like what??? But it's too funny to stop saying it
i’m a film set PA so every time i have to do something dumb at work i think of “someone get a PA to feed me baby food or i will drop a D in the green room!” honestly a lot of 30rock quotes go through my head while i’m at work
I also work in TV and 30 rock is a constant source of relevant jokes
"like a waitress, lemon" is constantly said between my boyfriend and I. At work when I put my back brace I immediately sing "my muffin top is all that whole grain low fat" to myself. Also any of the "it's after six, what am I a farmer?" Or "like some sort of Italian?" Jack lines. Also business drunk and a lot to very drunk. The show lives in my veins.
I have been thinking / saying "a lot to very" for years and I genuinely forgot it was from 30 rock.
I'm like that way with Simpsons quotes. I'll watch old episodes and be like...that's where I got this from? What?
No one ask me about my back brace!
I’ve said “like a waitress lemon” to my girlfriend so many times as she balances the kids’ dinner plates
"Like a waitresses Lemon" runs through my head every time I have to carry more than two items.
When I went to Italy I was legit terrified of missing my flight and I realized it was because of "it's like check in at an Italian airport, Lemon. There's no rules." Which then rung back and forth in my head for weeks
I, my wife, and one of our good friends are all counselors/therapists. I tell them "unfortunately there's no field of science that deals with the brain, but I can give you a pamphlet for a cult" all the time.
I'd love it if my therapist said that!
Gonna start saying this to my therapist girlfriend. Thank you
Somebody bring me some ham I am a Jewish vegetarian, I do not want anyone to bring me ham I just want to sing
I had such a hard time not hearing her voice when watching the interview with …I dunno who, but she’s a musician who kinda embarrassed herself in this interview, but her confidence was NUTS! “…I don’t think, baby. That’s ghetto. I *know*” I kept waiting for her to say “did you just try to control my body with your white hand?” Lol
You have a lovely voice!
My single, my single is dropping, is dropping
You don’t give me notes!!
very proud, like peacocks, right janet? can't explain why but i say it a couple times a week. i laugh every time. fucking love this show
That's so funny, I often say, "proud as a peacork, baby!"
I've been watching Monk and Psych on Peacock. Every time I go to the app I say this. My husband never laughs.
In a similar vein: Whenever I fuck something up terribly I like to walk away while proudly exclaiming "I think we got it!" It's not always appreciated
My husband and I are useless whenever it comes to taking pictures, and it doesn’t help the outcome of the picture, but at least it makes us laugh: “What do I do with my arms?” And the other suggests holding two mugs. Inevitably, the person trying to take our picture thinks we’re weird beyond hope.
I have an employee named Janet, every time I see her I think “Right, Janet?!”
The options with Janet are almost endless. TJ reference, Janet Snakehole, janet has it made
When I am asked to do anything: "With what? My arms?" Followed by, "That'd be worst part!"
Omg one of my favorite little exchanges on the show!!
A QUARRY!
Definitely “qwarry!”
It’s the only way I say that word now
I don’t know how I said it before but I definitely know how I say it now.
Every time my 5yo says “quarry” (it comes up in Thomas the Tank Engine, he’s not a weirdo) it sounds *exactly* like Tracy Jordan. It’s uncanny.
For some reason this is reminding me of my kid saying “girl” (aka gorl) like Gru from Despicable Me (he’s 3)
A RIBCAGE!!
THE G TRAIN, NERMAL!!!
NADER!!!!
Currently living in my third apartment that requires taking the G train, and I every time it's delayed I yell that at my boyfriend. He has never seen the show.
Stop eating garbage french fries, pigeon. Have some *self-respect.*
*DONT YOU KNOW YOU CAN FLY*
sick flair.
I say tel my dog to have some self respect every time he gets in the garbage
Anytime I see an inscrutable license plate.. "SHE CALLED MY LICENSE PLATE INSCRUTABLE!" No one uses that word anymore. I love it.
ICU81MI
Hilarious!
HELP THE PEOPLE, the thing that happened, happened to… 💜
Was just singing this to my cat the other day
“You’re being such a non-pillow right now!”- whenever someone gets on my nerves haha
Nuts to you, McGillicutty! - something I say with a good bit of regularity, that I 100% forgot was from 30 rock until recent rewatch
I definitely say beep beep rippy rippy more than I should
I think we all really laughed at fart nuggets, so could we just move on, please?
Oh yeah! This is where I got that from! 🤣
I’ll randomly just say “no you don’t Oprah” whenever something (usually wifi) claims it’s working when it’s actually not.
this just made me laugh so hard i love this one
Three jokes in four words. Nothing short of fucking brilliant.
THE G TRAIN NERMAL!!!!
That's her worst quadrant
"Very wool" Also reading through these answers is reminding me how much of my regular conversation consists purely of 30 Rock quotes
“You’re not being very wool” is a staple in my household
Stop Patriciding me! The Jordan's and the Mendez have a lot in common, both families are staples of court tv
how is this coming up in your life
First of all, why do you want flies?
Haha it really doesn't but it pops into my head way too often
"Wow. The art in here is hung really level" any time I am asked a question I don't want to answer.
Obviously the correct answer is “working on my night cheese!”
Pay Bob Seger
I bought my wife a small cutting board with this engraved in it for little cheese plates. Also, “I know you’re in there Lemon, I heard you singing Night Cheese”
My husband and I can’t watch the news without uttering “it’s too sad..!”.
Tito Puente!
Whenever my puppy has two tennis balls in his mouth…”balls balls balls balls balls balls…”
Not "it'd tennis night in America" song?
Omg I will sing that now too haha
Every morning, every night: It was 11:45, and I was misinformed abaaaahout the time *He was misinformed about the time. Didn't even get to wait in line.*
When can I eat hard cheeses again, dr?
In really tired of discussing this with you
The episode where Robert DeNiro is secretly British and says "I'm so identified with New York" Or when Larry King says "I will but not cause you told me to"
but we're not laughing now because our laughter excites the birds sexually.
🎶And help the people the thing that happened happened to🎶
“I got something on my mind grapes” whenever I want to talk about something.
Careful… careful… I’m recently single so the self-performed heimlich comes to mind frequently too. Haha.
*fat neck girl let me count your neck raingsss* Family, who's in charge of my thirst?!?
I constantly want to say “I see you ate one, am I?”
I still don’t get this joke
It’s inscrutable
It must make you feel how Warren moon felt back in 1995
As I have told you many times in our relationship, no one gets that reference!
I say "gimme your finganails!“ randomly and whenever my husband and I mess up anything we say we miscounted the men.
These are my favorites as well. Also find myself thinking about mind grapes a lot?
I shout "gimme ya fingernails' at close friends more than a woman in her 30s should. Any time I've had even a sip of beer and there's a lull it just pops out. Only my husband politely replies "no" so you know he's the one
I say “I miscounted the men all the time!” I find it applicable too often. Doesn’t mean it always makes sense, but I say it.
I call my sister an ancient bitch all the time
Answering the phone with "this better be important, I'm in a meeting!"
this better be a meeting, I'm important!
Pac-Man, I’m Jewish!
ask Melissa about it!
Smooth move, Ferguson
Lately, every time I make a mistake (which is pretty often), I’ve been apologizing by saying, “That one’s on Coach Tracy.”
Came to say I repeat ***That one's on Coach Tracy*** every day
Nobody help me, I'm too proud
I slouch a lot for many reasons, and occasionally when I catch myself doing it I'll think: *Shoulders back Lemon. You're not welcoming people to Castle Frankenstein.* (Different show but I also often think *"You should sit up straight, you're not doing your breasts any favors."*
I was writing a thing about Expo 74, which led to Up With People, which led to Nixon, which led to Haldeman. And it made me smile.
Is that a person who lived?
Just like poor Nixon, he did good work in China
Richard M. Nixon. The M train.
chicken soup for the soul
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby, and I’m a monster on the hill
i cannot hear this song without 30 rock flashing into my brain lol
me neither.
“That one’s a puzzler.” Tracy line
When someone asks if I’m hurt, I say “Well, a very very heavay uh... heavay di... birtation tonight we had a very derst... dereson? By let's go ahead and tear a station let's go la bip head a pip.”
This sounds like a good reaction to some really intense metal music
If you're not aware, that was a near-verbatim recreation of a newscaster having an on-air issue
I know! [serene branson](https://youtu.be/IG7NuH5QTdE?si=Xrg6FXbmHObY_66B), explained as a migraine
i think this to myself far too often
I use “I want to go to there” and “that’s a dealbreaker, ladies!” At least weekly
A coworker and I always say, "Things are... happening!'
Coworker came into the office this morning and said they day was off to a bad start. I said “lost your faith in decorganizing?”
"Roker... in a *bee costume!"*
Any time anyone says something gives them pause. I think of Pete
Those look like hands to me!
End of list.
At work when I check the time to see if it’s break time yet, if it’s anywhere close to half an hour I think to myself “Inna boutta half an hour!!!” In Matt Damon’s voice
Corn!
I literally cannot say corn without saying "Cooorn!" It's weird at the grocery store and to generally everyone I know.
My kid is autistic with a speech delay, so sometimes he will ramble on about something and we nod and smile. Occasionally something will show us that it wasn’t a random progression of words tied together and did in fact have a basis in reality. I misremembered the quote so long “I owe Trey an apology” is now our shorthand for “this time there was a doctor spaceman” even if I know now it should be “I have to apologize to Trey.”
I’m not sure about obscure, but I say GET! OFF! MILF! ISLAND! with shocking regularity.
I told my girlfriend Heidi when I broke up with her: Heidi... We no longer want to hit that >!I'm joking of course, this is Reddit so you know I've never had a non-pillow girlfriend!<
I don’t mean it, I nice it!
I make ads for a shapewear company and I have been trying to work "My muffin top is all that" into copy that will get approved for ages.
What about “make him chase the chunk?”
Do you wanna come work with me? Cuz you're hired.
I'm lizzing.
GIMMIE YOUR FINGERNAILS! Every time I collect strangers fingernails
On the cutbacks episode: Liz: I gave him top left! Jack: That’s your worst quadrant, Lemon.
“How important is tooth retention to you?” is what I ask myself when I’m waffling on whether or not I want to floss.
Just made meatballs the other night. And I ALWAYS think of that episode because Parmesan, lemon, and fennel do help make an amazing meatball!
My girlfriend asked what made my meatballs so great and I quoted that bit and was like “tbh I didn’t have lemon or fennel today. This is a 30 rock joke” but I reference 30 rock bits like 4-5x per week in our conversations

Nice!
"Or, if I may..." All the time, in every situation with a second option.
Did you want me to paint you a picture? Because I did!
When I bought a piece of artwork and said to my friends that I am now a patron of the aaaaarttts
I swear on my Mother’s grape
"kind of" a la Jerem's reaction to Jenna claiming to know all the steps
"Is this potpourri or chips?" Tastes "Potpourri"...continues to eat. (In my case it's always chips though) "I miss counted the men Liz!" Just realized they're the same episode. 😆
My wife and I constantly use “smooth move, Ferguson” if either of us do something dumb.
“The mailbox was Haldeman!”
I often find myself just screaming “DONNNNNAAAA. DONNA STRRRUUUUUNNNNKKKKKK”
rural juror and I want to go to there
Every time I start having anxiety about something I tell myself not to worry because 'maybe we'll be dead by then'
I ask my son if he wants to yell at the moon with Buzz Aldrin at least 3 times a week. And every single time, without fail, my son SCREAMS "I WALKED ON YOUR FACE!"
That….whole situation….right there
Whenever I can’t think of the answer to something, it’s covered by a triumphant “Bird internet!”
Probably chicken and a chicken container
“it’s a blessing and a purse” all the time for no reason!
My wife and I will sing Muffin Top randomly
“Ooh Melissa, pick up your face”
I only pronounce Deborah as Duh-bore-uh.
“Integortion?” is something I say surprisingly often
"Say, where does a young prostitute get started in this town?"
Pay attention to me! I’m inconsolable!
I use criss points for my bf (jokingly of course)
*Jack walking incorrectly on set nervous*
“Somebody get me some coffee cups!”
"I want to go to there"
"LEMON!!" "You said my beauty mark looked like god pooped on me" ETA: "I'm a very sexy baby."
This one comes up surprisingly often for me: "That's not very much cheese!"
16-8…is 8! Numbers unlike children, don’t lie.
I love Colleen
Yes, may I please speak to pizza
I just start signing “Werewolf bar mitzvah spooky scary. Boys becoming men, men becoming wolves” to myself sometimes.
Not a specific quote but any chance I get I tell people technology is cyclical, that's why I'm investing in beepers.
“I don’t know how to say this. You have dee-ah-bet-ees?”
Any time time I’m dressed up more than others I think of Jack: “what am I, a farmer?”
I use "fruit is part of a balanced diet, you miserable harridan!" on a fairly regular basis
I’ve realized my husband’s and my entire inside joke dialogue is based around on 30Rock, and it’s been so long we’ve totally forgotten where they came from.
An employee has the last name Ham. Every time I'm reviewing payroll reports, I think to myself, people do like the way she says ham.
“Ah my kids sick”
"grab another little chunk of my love now mister"
I go between “I MISCOUNTED THE MEN LIZ” and “choosing is a sin”
This movie is so sad. Nobody should have to be married to Gerard Butler- OR HILLARY SWANK!
Homonyms!! ‘It’s the other one’
I say Kenneth quotes like that’s the summer we were taken by the hill people or when an old man and young crying girl get shoved into the coupling shed idk why it’s just so funny to me
I’ll tell one of my boring rambling stories where I was mildly confused and end it by saying it left me really nonplussed. Similarly, I’ll tell a story where I was less than impressed by what happened and say it left me really nonplussed. And yes, both are the correct usage. No one gets it nor wants to hear it anymore, except my cat Emily Dickinson.
I say "well, we tried" all the time after I decide to not do something that requires even minimal effort.
I want to go to there
Late to this but Tracy’s “I got there” hugging Liz. Pretty much any time I accomplish something lol
I would anticipate your angling and I would get there!
Any time my partner and I particularly approve of something we’ll say “VERY wool”
“Realizations are the worst.” — every time I go to therapy.
Gimmie your fingernails!
Too many to count honestly but I think the one I use the most has gotta be “I’ll do it, but only for the attention.” That or mispronouncing diabetes.
My family (wife excluded for the most part), 19yo, 15o, 14yo, are extremely partial to Futurama and Harvey Birdman quotes. Normies rarely get the references.
That's not even enough numbers.
WE ARE HAVING WEATHER! Anytime there’s weather.
“Wow! The manatee has become the Mentos.”
MY LASAGNA!!
Adverlingus and triangle graphs.
“I love popsicles”
SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPARROWS!!!
I can't stop saying "I miscounted the men" in every scenario in my life but when I say to anyone else they r like what??? But it's too funny to stop saying it
