Golden Globes Vindicate Faith of ‘30 Rock’ Viewer

by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 73 Comments · · Print This Story Print This Story

(2009-01-13) — Tina Fey’s gracious acceptance speech at Sunday night’s Golden Globes capped a thrilling year for the off-beat sitcom’s viewer.

“I feel vindicated,” said the unnamed viewer. “It’s been a long, lonely year, surrounded by family, friends and an entire nation of people who simply aren’t smart enough to laugh at ‘30 Rock’. The only thing that gets me through is the knowledge that I’m clearly more perceptive than the rest of them. In that sense, it’s been a thrilling year. But the burden of intellectual leadership can sometimes feel like the weight of the world on my shoulders.”

At the award ceremony, Ms. Fey, executive producer and star of the NBC show, delivered an acceptance speech so cleverly nuanced that some thought she was actually hurling obscene insults at the show’s critics, rather than humbly expressing her gratitude for the recognition.

“It’s typical of the kind of idiots who watch TV,” said the ‘30 Rock’ viewer. “Tina Fey behaves like the consummate professional and winsome wit that she is, and it just goes right over their heads.”

    Interesting that 30 Rock loses half it’s viewers even though it has some of Hollywoods most glamourous stars on board… tells you what most people think about the Hollywood elite. It is the typical response for this group of pampered whiners to blame the intelligence level of Americans on ratings. Of course 30 Rock is much to intelligent for our little minds, it couldn’t possibly be that Americans don’t think this little party is worth attending.

    This brings to mind a truth from one of my favorite writers:

    C.S. Lewis states, in his book Mere Christianity, that Pride is really the basis of all sin. However, he points out, we don’t really understand what makes up Pride. He says that one is not Prideful if one is pleased with a job well done or if one thanks God for giving a special ability or accomplishment. Pride comes into play when one says, “Thank you for my ability to be or do better than others.”

    The problem with the liberal elite establishment is that they don’t just pat themselves on the back for a job well done, but rather lift their snooty noses at the rest of us and say, “Thank goodness I am better than they are!” You know, kinda like Harry Reid’s problem with stinky tourists.

    I liked Tina Fey a little when she and Amy Poehler did “Weekend Update” together, but I don’t think I’ve seen any of her work since (with the possible exception of a few minutes of 30 Rock once, but I don’t think I even watched the whole episode). However, re. the Golden Globes themselves, I didn’t watch, but I was glad to hear that Heath Ledger won for “The Dark Knight” (he really did a fantastic job in that role) and that “Slumdog Millionaire” won Best Motion Picture Drama (I have a heart for India, and everything I’ve heard so far about that movie has been positive).

    One more comment to end this post: I recently read this on a blog: “I really don’t think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid. I’d rather have her idolize someone who isn’t a phony.” I don’t know if I would classify Miley as a phony (after all, everyone knows her alterego, Hannah Montana, is her pretending to be somebody else). But I certainly agree with the sentiment that people (kids and adults alike) should find role models outside of Hollywood.

    Alright, that’s enough sermonizing for now :)

    Hollywoodheads has no idea what humor is all about. The boot-licking Washington DC mirrored images can only hope to get smug laughs from those who sit on a couch with their pillows in a knot hoping to hear some counterculture joke about their nemesis-whoever that might be.

    For years people have been bring laughter into the homes of America via the TV, but now that old fashioned laugh is passe, though cable channels seem to make a good $$ with older reruns.

    Last summer I found a CD at the local rental called Though Shalt Laugh. Before I knew it tears of laughter were running down my cheeks. There is no way in a gazzilion years Hollywoodheads could make me laugh like that.

    As many know I hob-nobbed amongst could- be’s , would be’s and wanna be’s on the left coast journalistic circles. Never seen a pile of sad sack folks, all walking about knives ready to place in a backside to create their own career. Life is safer here in the Bunker.

    I find it utterly amazing that because someone can make you laugh, (albeit ocassionally), that they believe that means they are intelligent.

    In olden times they were simply “court jesters” and when they ceased being funny, it was, “off with their heads”!

    Now when they cease to be funny, they run, (and steal), a Senate seat! :lol:

    Wow, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but as a comedy writer myself (don’t ask) I have a great deal of admiration for my fellow Philadelphian, Ms. Fey.
    She spent years as the head writer for SNL (she was not just the weekend update gal, she wrote the whole show) and I find 30 Rock to be quite amusing as well.
    Few women (and not that many men) acheive what she has.

    So ,to be an actor ,you have to dress up in different clothes and pretend to be someone you are not.Strange, I think most of us could do that when we were 4 or 5 years old. Then when we were 7 or 8 we could read( then we could do lines) .So that means most actors are at an 8 year old level as far as intelligence is concerned. Actually, when I read that over it takes in most politicians ,too.

    Scott, YOU are the exception to that rule. Your faith in the ALMIGHTY shows your intelligence, and your keen wit is remarkable.

    Although you will probably never reach the heights of a “Tina Fey”, or “Al Franken”, is to your benefit. Jesus said if they hate me, they will hate you too!

    goober-inyetagain: Do you love Tina because she is a lib, like you, or for her “so called” talent? If she starts making fun of liberal women, will she still be funny to you?

    If you answer, YOU are not very intelligent. Those are rhetorical questions! ;-)

    Hey Mr or Mrs “former comedy writer”. If you couldn’t make it in comedy, there is always politics. Now that al frankenstein has stolen his first election, there is now hope for anybody, even YOU!

    If you think Tina is funny, I bet you also think Franken, Garafalo, George (NOW explaining to GOD about the “When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops” title of his book) Carlin, Mikey Moore, etc are funny?

    What to know what is funny? Someone who claims to have been a “comedy writer” and now is reduced to being a partisan left wing liberal and “not very funny” poster on a blog!

    Now THAT is hilarious! :lol:

    My question about this story is that I find it completely amazing that it only took NBC (roughly) 2 1/3rd seasons to find the viewer for this show.

    I recently watched a movie called ‘Sunshine’. A sci-fi flick about a team of astronauts who are sent to the sun (which is burning out) with an enormous bomb, in order to jump-start our star back into providing light, heat and energy down here on Earth. I was told, by a source who shares my enthusiasm for movies, that this was an awesome movie. After watching it, I realized there was practically nothing original about the film. I could name other sci-fi adventures that were ‘borrowed’ from in order to put this thing together. When I mentioned this to my source, and that I wasn’t all impressed with the ‘awesomeness’ of the movie in question, I was informed that the reason I didn’t care for it all that much was that I “just didn’t get it”. It was then that I came to the realization that perhaps “getting it” wasn’t such a good thing if it causes you to lie to yourself, or if it gives you a misplaced sense of superiority over others.

    wv: Conan first-class: compared to the late, great Johnny Carson, Conan is fourth-rate at best. Or perhaps I just “don’t get” Mr. O’Brien’s “humor”.

    LC-RM: Great observations! If anyone still watches “I Love Lucy”, “The Marx Brothers” movies, or the old “Three Stooges”, an awful lot of things used in comedy today were used on these shows/movies and a LOT of them had their origins in Vaudeville!

    People like Milton Berle, and Bob Hope joked about “stealing” the material. Most of today’s comics do is add vugar language to the “plagerized” material, and pass it off as their own.

    Much as the resident trolls “plagerize” moveon.org! Maybe I should say “PARROT” moveon.org? :lol:

  • 32 Left Coast-Right Mind // Jan 14, 2009 at 3:51 am

    RAM: I absolutely do love Lucy. The Marx Brothers were genius (or is that genii?). The Stooges, Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in their “Road to” series of movies. Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, Art Carney and Jackie Gleason, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, etc. Probably one of my favorite comedic actors of all time is Danny Kaye. All people who had audiences rolling in the aisles with laughter without the need for filthy language and smut. People who were not only multi-talented, but seriously blessed and gifted and brought so much joy to so many people, many times when it was needed the most. These folks, and many others that I either don’t know, or just forgot to mention, are legends in the field of entertainment, and for good reason.

    Today, like most things, entertainment has been dropped to the lowest common denominator. Cheap laughs and one-dimensional performances that are over-hyped to the point of desensitizing us as to what true entertainment is. I’m not saying that the entertainment industry is dead, but it is a shell of its former self, and has a long way to go to recapture the brilliance that made icons out of ordinary people, with extraordinary gifts.

    In truth, they really are, and those of us who “get it” look at it like a bad movie and laugh at the writers or actors. I suppose the worst actor of all did get an academy award and a Nobel prize, but, then, so did Soylent Green win the the Nebula Award and the Saturn Award. And if you ever saw Soylent Green……..it’s made of peeeeeeplllllle.

    Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Yep, I’m a big fan of all those past comedy routines y’all mention but comedy didn’t stop then.
    Side note: they didn’t stop writing music then either despite the propensity for 99% of America to cease considering new tunes past high school or college (thus the abundance of “oldies” stations)
    No, Tina did not writ the “whole show” (SNL) but she WAS the hear writer, a demanding job and one that she handled pretty darned well.
    As for the “liberal” media turning on iits “own”…have you ever considered that they are (dare I say it?) observing/reporting on things, that the “chips” fall where they may?
    George did a stunningly bad job running the country (show of hands…are you better or worse off than before George was in charge?) and the “liberal” media said so. What were they supposed to say? That the things that led up to today were good ideas? The present condition of the country is proof otherwise. Excellent proof?
    Really excellent proof. Stunningly excellent proof.
    Wake up and smell the fresh brewing coffee folks!
    And, if/when the new guy screws up I hope/pray and trust that the media (no matter its alleged “bias”) will step up and say so. I know I will, I know John Stewart will. There’s a screamingly funny man that isn’t anywhere near as “partial” as y’all think.

    For example, the Congressional Budget Office estimates Bush’s cumulative ten year deficit at $2.3 trillion, to be sure, a breathtaking shortfall from the $5.6 trillion surplus he inherited from Clinton. But as with the yearly number, this one ignores the trust fund sleight of hand, an omission of some $2.4 trillion. When this is added back in, Bush’s ten year deficit leaps to $4.7 trillion, $10.3 trillion short of Clinton’s number.

    Around the world, Hu Jintao and Vladimir Putin beat President Bush in the trustworthiness polls. Not that they do so splendidly among the men and women in the streets, rues and avenidas. It’s just that Mr. Bush does worse. He usually does worse than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as well. Ouch.

    Mr. Bush was unpopular most places pretty early. He became unpopular at home comparatively recently. He staked his foreign policy on the belief that everybody yearns for freedom. Now, the leader of the Free World is beaten in polls worldwide by undemocratic rulers of China and Russia.

    We are looking at a 20-country poll coordinated by the Project on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland. The poll results can be found at http://www.worldpublicopinion.org. The basic question was how much confidence respondents had that various world leaders would “do the right thing.” That Mr. Bush would be skunked by Mr. Putin in Russia is not surprising.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama’s economic team will brief Senate Republicans on Wednesday, fighting broad skepticism in Congress about releasing the second $350 billion of the financial industry bailout.

    “While I feel strongly that we must continue to stabilize the economy, I would find it exceedingly difficult to support additional taxpayer funds without serious assurances from the incoming administration that the taxpayers will be protected,” said Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republican minority in the Senate.

    “We look forward to hearing from them,” McConnell said on the Senate floor.

    The Kentucky senator did not identify who would conduct the briefings, but Obama and his economic team have been fanning out across Capitol Hill seeking bipartisan backing ahead of his inauguration next Tuesday.

    The new round of meetings are the latest effort by Obama to reach across party lines to build support after partisan bickering under outgoing Republican President George W. Bush brought most legislative efforts to a halt.

    boberin: Don’t, for a second, think that conservatism requires loyalty to GWB. Conservatives honor what he did right and abhor what he did wrong - The immigration fiasco, the No Child Left Behind, the prescription drug program, the Farm Bill, and the bailouts - all indications for his penchant for a more liberal, big government approach.

    But when he stood up for what this country is supposed to be about - our liberty, our free market system, our right to hold terrorists accountable, when he railed Congress about the problems with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2001 and Congress continued to fiddle while America’s economy burned - yes, we stood up with him and cheered. If Obama would show even a smattering of understanding that “the government” is NOT what saves the individual American, unlike what he postulated a few days ago, we would cheer him too. However, he has shown no understanding of that concept and continues to exhibit that he finds us to be a bunch of codependents, totally dependent on him and his addictive behavior bureaucracy.

    Bottom line is, about the ONLY thing bober/goober has said that is believable is, that he is a failed comedy writer.

    That, I believe! :-)

    PS: We get it goober, you don’t like Bush, and we don’t trust Obummer. Get ready to defend him for the next 4 years, or until we finally prove he was NOT born in America, and he is thrown out of office.

    Was my post intercepted by Obummer’s new “Jackboot Squad”?

    Could it be that we have two Nuts from Acorn here,that even a we post ,these Nuts are making a list of our names and writing down who is naughty? ( In their nutty little hearts ,they are sure they are the only ones who are nice.)They do know our real names as some on here have found out to their sorrow,which they will report to their Masters . , Yes after only 140 hours ,hopefully Thinglebell and Booger will fade into the murk surrounding B HO,and they won’t hang around here ,anymore.

    upnorthlurkin:

    That gives me an idea for a President Barack H-word Obama drinking game. Down a shot for every “Uhhh”, “Ahh”, “Uhmmm” and “Let me be clear…”. For that to work, I’d have to DVR his speeches and watch them on weekends, so I’d have a day or two to recover.

    The Obama speech content is chameleonlike to be whatever his fan club members hope that he means. What annoys me, besides the assumed cadence of his delivery, is the hiss of his words that have “s”’s.

    Did half of the American votersget hypnotized by His Hollowness?

    RAM, if 6 years as head writer for a comedy show equates to “failed” then you have me.
    I said “former” and did not mean to imply “failed” but, since the show did go off the air I suppose “failed” fits now…but it was fun while it lasted

  • 71 RepublicanAttackMachine // Jan 15, 2009 at 9:58 am

    gooberinyetagain: In the words of Judge Judy, I wouldn’t believe you, if your tongue came notorized! How about a link to prove you had a job 6 years as a comedy writer, or are libs like you the only ones who can DEMAND proof of things said on the “Net”?

    I am the one who said failed, and I stand by it because you say nothing here to make me laugh! (Well, except for your twisted view of politics, but you are NOT trying to be funny, so you are simply SAD!)

    Let’s see a show of hands for those that think booberin is funny?

    You are about as funny as the porn industry asking for a bailout!

  • 72 RepublicanAttackMachine // Jan 15, 2009 at 10:02 am

    As for being a “head writer”, (IF, and that is a BIG IF, that is true), I have the same respect for you as I do for Tina Fey, and Al Frankenstein.

    Little to NONE!

  • 73 RepublicanAttackMachine // Jan 15, 2009 at 10:11 pm

    Help me out [deleted], I have shows like “Red Green”, “Captain Kangaroo”, and “Hee Haw” running through my brain with you as head writer, but am sure those are above your talent level.

    I also wonder why you respond on a newer thread instead of here. Probably because you are just like other libs. Demand proof for EVERYTHING the other side says, but cannot do the same thing when asked of you.

    Pathetic!
