30 Rock got some gold tonight at the Creative Arts Emmys!  The show won for both outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Picture Editing for a Comedy Series.  Congrats to the show and everyone involved!

Here’s a list of all the winners.

Also Tina Fey won an Emmy in the Guest Actress category for her portrayal of Sarah Palin on SNL.  She beat out Jennifer Aniston and Elaine Stritch from her own show, but I don’t think anyone could argue she didn’t deserve it.

Video:

The BBC has part of Tina’s Acceptance speech here.

Quotes:

We don’t have the full speech (and we probably won’t until it airs on E!) but here’s some snippets:

“Mrs Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs Palin.”

From Huffington Post:

Accepting her trophy for best guest actress in a comedy, Fey thanked “SNL” producer Lorne Michaels and her parents, “who are lifelong Republicans, for their patience.”

Watch the Palin Spoofs again!  (If you dare relive that election.)

The Creative Arts Emmys will air on E! Network on Friday Sep 18th at 1:00 PM.
The Prime Time Emmys are coming next Sunday!

Less than a week! You know what that means? We have to squeeze three more of our Countdown Posts into 7 days. Before we get to Number Three, we must put out a disclaimer. We know, they’re sort of lame but they’re almost over!

Apparently we here at PCB really suck at finding videos to go along with the description we would like to give ya. You all know we are just starting up as a site, and any help you can give us would make this the kind of site you will recommend to your 30 Rock friends. So if you have any secret 30 Rock Clip Vault you would like to share, we would really appreciate it.

Disclaimer Part Two: The clips we found for this particular Countdown Post are mostly Two-Minute Replays. (Which are almost always over 3 minutes long so why not name them the 3-Minute Replays NBC?…) You see why we need access to that secret vault?

Countdown #3

Top Three Best Physical Comedians on 30 Rock

3. – Jack McBrayer: I’m glad Tina found him! From his clogging to getting caught on a fence, Jack makes every scene a memorable one. He makes a singing show tunes while riding a bicycle more fun than it should be, and I crack up every time I watch him dancing to entrance Devon Banks!

2. - Alec Baldwin: Fact: Alec Baldwin is a comedy genius. On his commentary he notes that he is considered one of the best actors in his generation at falling down, and I would have to agree. His heart attack, and any subsequent chest pains are nothing sort of perfect. As is his blooper real from Jack-tor. The clip we have is one of my favorites though. Buried away in that nasty two minute replay is the clip where after learning Tracy’s been targeted by the Black Crusaders, he sprints away.

1. - Jane Krakowski: Whether she is roller dancing, trying on lingerie, or sliding on a large leather couch, Jane commits 100% to every physical task she gets. The Maxim photo shoot is really where we first really see the hilarity in her ability to fall. Sliding around in a barely-there wardrobe and proceeding to fall head over heels isn’t something most actresses would be ok with. But for Jane, it’s one of her best moments in the show’s history, matched only by the scene in the Lingerie Shop in Cleveland. Hopping around in stilettos and getting a thong caught on them in the process is comedic genius. Thanks for committing, Jane! Here’s hoping that you get to fall down a lot more! For example: Take her fabulous impromptu dancing in Black Tie

There you have it. If the Emmys appreciated physical comedy even slightly, all three of them would have their award by now!

Ok. So there’s less than 10 days left! < 10 Days1 Menos de diez dias! Moins de dix jours! Weniger als 10 Tage. Più meno di dieci giorni! Minder dan tien dagen!

Ok so the last couple 4 I had to look up in an online translator. But the point is, new 30 Rock will be here really really soon!

To keep you (and me) occupied:

Top 4 Sketches Mentioned on the Show that we’d like to see.

Just a preface, we would include the Mailbox Sketch that shocked the nation, but it wasn’t TGS, and we’re not actually sure if there was more to the sketch than it just falling over… Anyways…

#4. - Bear Robot Sketch: For sure we’d like to see the four bear version, too bad he’s only allowed to have one. This would have ranked higher, but the sketch just isn’t that logical.

#3. - Hot Baby Sketch: Franks Hot Baby sketch definately makes this list. There’s just something so creepy and funny about models with giant fake baby heads. Mostly creepy.

#2. - Cowboy Hey Hey: This is definately one of the best sketches referenced on 30 Rock. That’s, of course, assuming you aren’t a member of the Black Crusaders. Actually this could be mildly humorous even if you are a Black Crusader.

#1. - Beep Beep Ribi Ribi: This sketch proves that Jack Donaghy could have made it as a writer. Maybe it just looks so bad its so good. Maybe I just want to know what the heck was going on. But mostly I could watch Tracy saying Beeb Beeb Ribi Ribi all day.

This was really hard to cut down cause there were just so many good ones and only 4 spots. Feel free to kill some of that 240 hours left posting your favorites :)!

First off, the Summary for Subway Hero has been added to it’s page. It sounds so good. (Then again just Liz sitting at her desk for half an hour sounds good at this point!)
Only 13 Days left now! Here’s another Countdown post to keep you busy :).

Top 5 Impressions:

#5. Frank and Toofer: A modern day odd couple, these two normally work very well together. Sharing an office and playing pranks on Jenna keep them running smoothly. But when it comes to Toofer, you don’t mess with Harvard. The wearing of a sweatshirt with Toof’s alma mater brings the two to blows in the form of mimicking each other. To me, there is almost nothing funnier than Toofer in a wig and Frank looking neat and tidy. Those two kids.

#4. Jefferson: First of all, it’s not a comedy, it’s a drama. But I don’t know how we were ever supposed to take Tracy seriously. The “white face”, trying to be British, dressing in drag? Fantastic impressions, although Tracy would consider it acting. We just consider it hilarious. Not to mention Jack does a pretty awesome Dream Jefferson as well.

#3. Sex Poop Problem: As the resident impressionist on TGS, Josh absolutely had to make this list. The best of his impression have to be Tracy and Jack. But what is even better is the punishment he receives when the two find out. We’ve met Colleen and having to call her everyday and talk about your…bowel movements…would be pretty torturous.

#2. Man Shirts: I guess Liz had this impression of her coming. She did tell Tracy to stop taser-ing Josh. It may be the least accurate impression since Jenna tried to pull of Bill Clinton. If we could eventually get Liz to wear a man shirt or invest in a skateboard, I would be extremely elated and we could prove Tracy right.

#1. Therapy Session: To most people, therapy is a pretty serious situation. But Jack portraying five different people in under three minutes is pretty hilarious. If only Tracy had known Howard Kossel. I would have liked to see that one! Really this whole post was just an excuse to watch this clip over and over again :).

(The better, funnier parts were written by Shark Eyes.)

Here we go with another countdown post! We’re getting so close! 15 Days!

Shark Eyes and I were just discussing the lack of Pete love out there so we decided to collaborate on this one. We decided to focus on Pete cause he’s pretty awesome and doesn’t get nearly the recognition he deserves. So here it is:

Top 6 Pete Moments! (Also called the “Pete Post”!)

#6. Pete and His Metaphors - As a metaphor for love, Pete nails the crappy side of love (that we all experience pretty much daily) by comparing it to a stinky onion. I hear ya buddy. Boy do I hear ya…

#5. Pete and Cerie’s clothes - “That was a jacket!” Every guy at TGS appreciates how Cerie dresses. Especially Pete, look how bald he is, look at his life! I (Matt) have to agree with Pete here. There’s no reason to cover Cerie up. Not while she’s looking for her shoes or just reaching for script. Don’t take that away, Liz, you jerk with your big stupid face!

#4. Pete and His Fedora - Fedora: A sexy Justin Timberlake hat really adds a swagger to any guy’s step. Add that to a leather jacket and Eau De Midlife Crisis, and we have one happy and peppy Pete. Just add a Pop Tart and a sweater handcuff and you’ve got a spectacular comedic gold! And a priceless Pete moment!

#3. Pete and His Elmo Impression - Not only is Pete a great producer, but he is also a talented voice artist. If Elmo ever calls in sick, Pete could fill in flawlessly. Or start a potty training hotline.

#2. Pete and His Head Writer - As stated in The Baby Show, who knows Liz better than Pete? That is why the moment at the end of The C-Word is one of the sweetest in 30 Rock history. Pete comes to the rescue as the knight in shining armor and sweeps Liz of her feet away from the drama. Seriously, how cute is that?

#1. Pete and His Charisma - We do love bald Pete. We do. But there’s something about Pete wearing his charisma that’s just hilarious. Is it because Past Pete came to kill Future Pete? Or his commanding “Let Him Though!” Perhaps we will never know. But we do know Everyone looks good in a Sheinhardt.

Hey look! They let me post again! And its a countdown post! About Dr. Spaceman! Ok, enough with the choppy sentences, lets do this thing!

Top 7 Reasons Why Dr. Spaceman Should Have His Medical License From The Ho Chi Minh School of Medicine Revoked

7. Breaking Doctor/Patient Confidentiality: When telling Tracy the results of his paternity test, Dr. Spaceman makes sure that the news stays just between the four of them, even though it’s neither Toofer’s nor Frank’s business. I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure that whole Hippocratic Oath thing is against that.

6. Cares More About Pretzels Than Some Patients: When it seems like Jack is flat lining after his heat attack, Dr. Spaceman runs in and informs the room of the pretzel situation downstairs, instead of checking up on his patient who, for all Spaceman knows, is dying (or dead).

5. Refers To Pills Just By Color: For some reason, I doubt that “Purples” are the medical name. Also, the fact that he offers them to just about anyone probably isn’t the best idea either.

4. Time Management Issues: Actually, I only have one example for this, but thats the title we came up with. Even though it is semi-doctor related, researching the ill-effects of bread is not the best use of Dr. Spaceman’s time.

3. Animal Cruelty: HE STABBED A DOG!

2. Prescribes Crystal Meth: When concerned about her weight, Jenna goes to visit Dr. Spaceman, who suggests meth as a weight reduction aid. Even though she turns it down (tooth retention too important), we here at the PCB staff still think this is one of the worst ideas ever!

1. His License Is From The Ho Chi Minh School Of Medicine: Let me repeat that….his license is from The Ho Chi Minh School of Medicine!!!

Well, I think that pretty much does it! Even though he is incompetent, he still is very inspiring, because remember kids, science is whatever we want it to be.

P.S- A look into the PCB Staff’s Lives- Currently, we are all in my basement playing The Lion King on the Sega Genesis! Yes, that is how cool we are.

Hey all! Time for another countdown post, just another sign that we are that much closer to April 10th! Anyway, a countdown wouldn’t be a countdown without some focus on the relationships, am I right? So as the resident relationship expert (or the only girl) I bring you:

 Top 8 Relationships That Could Have Been
(and would have made for excellent television!)

8. Pete and Liz: I’m throwing this one in for myself. Sure Pete is married and the two work out much better as friends, but as Pete points out in Baby Show, who knows Liz better? No one, that’s who! And we must admit one of the more adorable moments of 30 Rock history is at the end of The C-Word when Pete picks Liz up after her Sugarbaker Woman Speech. Aww!

7. Kenneth and Cerie: The resident adorable goof-ball and the scantily clad receptionist? Sounds brilliant! Not only would it boost Kenneth’s self esteem, but it would make all the other guys on staff completely jealous! And apparently there is still hope for this blossoming duo. We still haven’t met Aris and Cerie seems to adore Kenneth. Keep your fingers crossed.

6. Liz and Gretchen: Who didn’t love the pairing of the Plastics Babe and the owner of the Bi-Curious shoes. We could watch them go to IKEA and they would have each other in case the other needed the Heimlich. But on the other hand, Jack would have made a successful pairing…decisions, decisions…

5. Jack and Johnathan: Speaking of Jack, how wonderful would it be if he finally returned just some of the affection that Johnathan shows for him. Johnathan would be so happy, and for me, that’s enough for the pairing to work!

4. Liz and Grizz: We have seen a number of times the secret crush that Grizz has for Liz. He wanted to be her sperm donor and then (during the craziness of Kenneth’s house party) indulged in a bit of a make out session with Ms. Lemon. Plus, I already have their Celebrity Couple Name picked out: Lizzzz!

3. Jenna and David Blaine: Not to be cliché, but there had to be some magic in that relationship for the two to be engaged! Ok…that was really cliché. But who could resist the romance between the two. And seeing our Jenna all settled down would be priceless.

2. Kenneth and Devon: Now if any of you have caught on, I have a super big crush on Devon Banks. Yes he’s gay, and he did try to kill Jack once, but goodness I find him delicious. And I’m sure if Kenneth gave him a chance, he would see him as the wonderfully ambitious man he is. Also, if they were “together”, Will Arnett would be around a lot more. Basically this pairing is all for personal benefit! I can’t be the only one right? Right?!

And the number one relationship that could have been is…

1.  Frank and Jamie: What could be better than two straight men, complete opposites of each other, become gay for each other? It would be Will and Grace meets The Odd Couple. And if that doesn’t sound like a wonderful couple and even better television, then I don’t know what does.

So there we go! Hope you enjoyed the latest installment of our Countdown Posts! Now remember, if you have something we missed, or you think you could rank ‘em better, let us know! Any conversation will make the time until April 10th go faster!

Here’s our second installment of the countdown posts. 26 DAYS!!!

We did our best with finding clips but are definitely missing a lot. If you guys have links, please share so we can all enjoy!

This time it’s The Top 9 Musical Moments!

9. I believe that Children Are our Future - This one’s for you Cerie. Especially Kenneth’s two words.

8. Mystic Pizza - So good it won Jenna best Actress in a movie, based on a musical, based on a movie.

7. Jordan Christmas - That video was raunchy! (This page has an MP3 clip.)

6. America - Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids, and we all should have hybrid cars, doesn’t mean I don’t love America.

5. What the World Needs Now - Jack shows his rare sensitive side while playing for his Republican cronies.

4. Werewolf Bar Mitzvah - You can check out the full version of the song here! Spooky Scary!

3. Cleveland - Floyd and Liz rock the vocals! I wish we could all flee to the Cleve. Chef Boyardee was born there you know?!

2. Muffin Top - The #1 Song in Israel and #4 in Belgium. Jenna, Ghostface Killah, and Yo Yo Ma to the set please! They need to make the full version of this song!

1. Midnight Train to Georgia - Grizz and Dot Com as the Pips. Jenna’s insane vocal skills. CC singing on Cspan. Clever reworking of the lyrics and a Gladys Knight cameo. What more could you want?

We all know there’s still a month before new 30 Rock episodes. And quite blatantly; that sucks. So we here at PCB were brainstorming ways to make this time seem shorter. We toyed with the idea of flying to NY and storming the studio, but we figured we better just let them work. Instead, we came up with making a series of Countdown Posts to pass the time. It may not be the best idea ever, but then again we aren’t exactally the most brilliant people ever.

Anyways, over the next month we’ll spread out 10 Countdown posts to hopefully provide you with some sort of diversion. We’ll obviously have our regularly scheduled 30 Rock news mixed in as well.

So without further ado:

10 Jokes you Might Have Missed the First Time You Saw Them.
(But now you think they’re really really funny.)

#10 - In the opening of “Somebody to Love” Pete is watching CC’s Lifetime movie. Of course it isn’t until later in the episode that you even know who CC is. “A dog will change your life!”

#9 - In Jack the Writer Jack quips that he “was at Luncheon for Ann Coulters 60th birthday.” Which is funny considering Ann Coulter is only 47. (That joke will be funny for the next 13 years!)

#8 - Also in “Somebody to Love” Tracy is talking to Jack about forbidden love and being on the opposite sides of a feud. Tracy says “I get it. Romeo and Juliet. Capulets and Romulans. Mmm I’ve been there.” Romulans are a race of aliens from Star Trek.
