Oooh look, a fresh new internet meme!

I’ll have me some of this one!
Look here, here and here for the genesis.

Brilliant idea. I <3 30 Rock, and Tracy Jordan's wonderful non-sequiturs and insane "wordplay" liven it up immensely, to the extent where I have to pause the dvd to recover from a giggle-fit that has ambushed me. This happens with astonishing frequency whenever the character opens his mouth.

My top ten:

10: “They ran out of white makeup because I insisted they do my buttocks.”
Tracy Jordan as method actor. It only gets funnier when you see the result of his deep method immersion.

9: “You are my Radar O’Reilly, Ken. Now get in here and rub my feet til you hear a chopper coming.”
Because it’s MASH and Kenneth IS the Radar of 30 Rock. Albeit a foot-massaging “office-wife-y” kinda Radar O’Reilly.

8. “We’re going out tonight, Jacky D, and we’re going to be tempted like Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus is my stereo guy and the Wilderness is a club I took him to once.”
I love when Tracy takes something we’ve all heard before and makes it about him, and makes you wonder what happened to Jesus-the-stereo-guy in The Wilderness nightclub.

7: “And the community center is thriving. Do you know Kenneth’s eighty dollars bought a chess set and a crate of condoms?”
I’m sure Kenneth will be very pleased….

6: “Just be yourself and I guarantee you every single person in this room will one day be President of the United States.”
Just going that little bit too far….with the best intentions.

5: “To use as a decoy. So my greedy children will murder it and I’ll be able to escape un-Menendezed.”
The decoy being a Japanese Tracy Jordan sex toy. This is one of those lines that is it’s own self-contained comedy goldmine.

4: “Ahhhhh. I renounce everything. Cover your brain.”
I have actually said this more than once.

3: “Devil’s avocado here, Larry. I think people should freak the geek out. Withdraw all your money and hide it.”
The devil has the tastiest avocados. A readily quotable malapropism, Michael Steele-esque slang and a run on the bank, in one fell swoop. Genius.

2: “What is this, Horseville? Cuz I am surrounded by naysayers. Wordplay!”
God-awful pun that actually works. Must be the delivery – or the snappy “Wordplay!” directly after it.

1: “I’ve been hearing, but I haven’t been listening.”
Mmmmhmmmm.

These are all from Season Three, as Unlikely Words haven’t done seasons One and Two yet. But when they do…. there shall be more.
