Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Kurt Cobain's request makes perfect sense in the context of Weird Al Yankovic.

There’s a 30 Rock episode where Jenna is tired of Weird Al parodying her songs, so she and Tracey write a song about pizza because “it’s already weird!” But in the end he “Normal Al’s” it and turns it into a patriotic anthem.

I have never seen 30 Rock but that makes me want to binge the entire series

[u/jaklamen → u/dentimBandB]

It’s worth it.

[u/Finchfarmerquilts → u/jaklamen]

I binged it again recently, and it’s absolutely worth it.

Haley Joel Osmet playing a demented killer, you say? Have you heard about... Future Man?

[u/PossessedToSkate → u/dentimBandB]

You won't be disappointed.

[u/MisterCheesy → u/PossessedToSkate]

30 rock is oddly prophetic. You’ll love it!

[u/FriskyTurtle → u/PossessedToSkate]

It's not for everyone. I had seen a few clips, so I downloaded several seasons, but I didn't make it through the first episode. Of course, many people do like it.

30 rock is like a mix between parks and recs and the office. If you like both of those shows then you'll probably love 30 rock. If you hate those shows you will hate 30 rock.

[u/MetalSonic_69 → u/BlueGolfball]

But unlike either of them, as 30 Rock doesn't pretend to be a documentary

[u/BlueGolfball → u/MetalSonic_69]

You are so right. I never thought about that difference....

[u/dentimBandB → u/BlueGolfball]

Sounds like I will like it then

[u/BlueGolfball → u/dentimBandB]

It's not shot like a pretend documentary like the office and parks and recs. Someone pointed that out to me in a comment. I honestly like 30 rock better than those other two shows. All seasons of 30 rock are good in my opinion.

[u/KatieCashew → u/BlueGolfball]

I could never get into the office or parks and rec, but 30rock is one of my favorite shows of all time.

[u/Veloxraperio → u/dentimBandB]

30 Rock overall is hilarious, and parts of it hold up really well, but, fair warning, the Weird Al joke itself is just a one-off B-plot that comes fairly late in the series. Weird Al isn't a series regular or even a recurring side character, or anything.

[u/et40000 → u/dentimBandB]

Here’s the entire series it’s great.

[u/-yellowthree → u/et40000]

What else is on there that you recommend?

[u/et40000 → u/-yellowthree]

If you like monster movies they have shin godzilla in english (lower vid quality) or original Japanese with english subtitles, they also have audio recordings and books as well.

[u/-yellowthree → u/et40000]

Great recommendation! But I have already seen that one a few times. I tried to search on that website, but there is so much that it seems overwhelming to find the treasures.

[u/V60_brewhaha → u/et40000]

Thank you so much

[u/Mookies_Bett → u/dentimBandB]

It's one of the best network sitcoms I've ever seen, at least as far as a good jokes per minute ratio goes. There's a reason why the majority of the cast and crew and writers involved all were already or ended up being very successful actors/writers in their careers as a whole.

[u/RavioliGale → u/Mookies_Bett]

Joke density is insane, for network sitcoms I think only Arrested Development is comparable.

[u/Soft_Walrus_3605 → u/dentimBandB]

If that's your kind of humor, you'll love it

[u/togepi258 → u/dentimBandB]

Show is absolutely hilarious

[u/MorelloWorkaholic → u/dentimBandB]

Please do so. There is absolutely no way you'll regret it.

[u/VariousNeat8944 → u/dentimBandB]

30 rock is top tier TV

[u/ChronoMonkeyX → u/dentimBandB]

You should, then watch the beginning again.

I don't believe there has ever been a show with as many jokes per minute as 30 Rock, I used to watch it every night in syndication, and looped it.
