I’ve seen it 100+ times but I still choke up when Jack, realizing what Colleen had done for them and choking back his emotions states: “ you could barely see the tree.” I realize it is a fictional show and he was simply playing a role but that scene, like so very many other scenes during the run of 30 Rock were extremely well acted.
Not sure if it was a Christmas episode, but there's one where Liz's family comes to visit and they have a great time. Colleen asks Jack "Do you think her parents are warmer than I was"? And Jack says "Morher, there are terrorist cells that are warmer than you". 🤣🤣🤣
One of my friends JUST started watching 30 rock for the first time and i love watching it with her. I wish the banned episodes were still avaible though 😭. Even though they werent politically correct
@@Einhauser the one with blackfacr, its the one where colleen doesnt know avery is pregnant "christmas attack zone" and one other. They were banned/taken off by nbc and tina fey
I know it fits the her character and makes for a better storyline but it still ticks me off Danny purposely sang poorly for Jenna. Nothing could get me to do that.
I still never got Avery and Jack's "Happy Holidays = Terrorism" card. Jack has repeatedly said he's an atheist whose only higher power is capitalism. Why should he care if people say "Merry Christmas" or not?
@@bash18 I get that, but it real-life those conservatives are motivated (at least nominally) by religious piety. Something which Jack very clearly does not have.
@@georgewang2947 He's a murderer simple as that. The fact that the media quickly forgave him just shows how biased it is. He was a freaking producer in the movie and should have handled the gun more carefully. There were reports from crewmembers that there was mishandling of the weapons on set. And to top it all, he blatantly denied squeezing the gun on ABC. At least have some dignity and recognize your "mistake". The fact that Alec Baldwin is still respected speaks volumes to how wrong our concept of celebrities and their supposed free pass to do bad/wrong things is. He is responsible, at least for manslaughter. There should be no denying or covering up the fact. I'll let his violent and controversial past aside (calling his daughter a pig, homophobic attacks on paparazzi etc.), but this, this murder, is just unacceptable.
@@hiramcarter yes, Michael Johnson, I'm the stupid one, not the actor who "mishandled" a gun with live ammunition. Go back to your Alec Baldwin shrine and pray more for him.
They forgot one of the best 30 Rock lines ever: "I'm trying to produce a Christmas special that makes It's a Wonderful Life look like Pulp Fiction."
Why is that a great line?
.
Bwahaha. Forgot about that one.
I always tear up when Jack says “You couldn’t even see the tree”
"That's only 14 in demon years" is a brilliant line. I love Colleen.
“You’re flat, Jack.” She was fantastic.
"Where are you? I hear sunshine."
Just caught that.
“Happy holidays…is what terrorists say. Merry Christmas Avery and Jack” still makes me bust out laughing 😂😂
"My mother wanted me to join the army and go to Vietnam, she said it would make a man out of me,,,,I was twelve." -Best line ever.
My mom wanted me to join the army (and die) after I got an incomplete my sophomore year of college 🤷♀️
That last bit with Alec and Elaine got my allergies actin up. So sweet, so beautiful.
Jack Donaghy might be the best character in television history.
Complex. Passionate. Witty. Unstoppable.
Excellent writing.
What a great tribute to Elaine Stritch! But no 30 Rock Xmas compilation is complete without Ludachristmas!!!
Jenna's Christmas song in the red dress was genuinely ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
To show the Emperor we are not afraid.
like getting on a plane on Sept. 11
30 Rock is the best show of all time….so we’ll written and cast…and makes me so nostalgic for 2008

Tracy suggesting colorful sweaters was weirdly wholesome and reasonable for him.
Ah Elaine… RIP Angel.. and Merry Christmas!
@fendiefendie - Yeah, RIP Elaine......JUST LIKE THAT! (*Snap*!)
What the h. e. double vibrator!
Perfection.
TIna Fey's husband playing the piano at 13:03
I miss 30Rock! So glad they run on Hulu still
I get this feeling that Elaine Stritch is THE genuine, sweet little old lady!!!!!
I dunno she lost the role of Dorothy in the Golden Girls because she insisted on ad-libbing F bombs.
You should've included the one where Jack's mom Colleen says "Jingle bells! Jingle bells!"
Going to make my Birthday look like Pulp Fiction
Not sure if it was a Christmas episode, but there's one where Liz's family comes to visit and they have a great time. Colleen asks Jack "Do you think her parents are warmer than I was"? And Jack says "Morher, there are terrorist cells that are warmer than you". 🤣🤣🤣
Genius writing
🎶Here's to the Donaghys who Lunch 🎶
The best 30 Rock Christmas moment was Lutz getting tased.
The piano player is Jeff Richmond, Tina Fey’s husband.
Jonathan and Liz’s fugue was the best part.
I guess I just ate all that asparagus for nothing… I just got that
AMERICA PLEASE EXBLAIN
I believe it implies that they were going to do something sexual that had pee involved

Wait which episodes are banned? And by whom?

@@LC-zz4ol Are you kidding me?! The first two you mentioned, are hilarious! Such a shame.
@@LC-zz4ol isn’t it on Amazon prime?
@@cabronicusmaximuschingonic1062 ikr?!
I needed this so much! Thank youuu
You couldn't even see the tree 😂😂😂
I could be sitting at the corner table of the K MART CAFE right now.
Colleen is the GOAT!
This is great. Merry Christmas to me.
I love a good re cap.
I always wondered why she said "like Norman Rockwell always drew it.", instead of painted it. It never sounded right to me.
I was hung up on that line too. I was thinking take out the word
Always
It might be because you're a pedantic boor who would water down a joke just for the outside chance some idiot will think you're the least bit clever
While sarcasm-ing on Jack she self-burns by getting the Rockwell reference wrong.
Awe,Christmas Attack Zone :(
My retainer!
2:05 my favorite part
It’s definitely not a rage stroke.
Christmas Attack Zone.
Find a woman that looks at you the way that Jenna looks at that brandy
She put out. On Christmas for you kids
You couldn’t even see the tree
Tina is great because she's not above making herself look stupid for comedy
I wonder when this channel will run out of material. The show’s been off the air for over 8 years.
“That's only 14 in demon years."
FYI it’s a federal offense to tamper with the letters to Santa.
I know it fits the her character and makes for a better storyline but it still ticks me off Danny purposely sang poorly for Jenna. Nothing could get me to do that.
It only gonna nake her stronger. LOL
Not sure why they set up Jack and Liz’s gift giving without actually showing the gift giving.
Thanks. With you jack btw.
A 😿 tear
I still never got Avery and Jack's "Happy Holidays = Terrorism" card. Jack has repeatedly said he's an atheist whose only higher power is capitalism. Why should he care if people say "Merry Christmas" or not?
because he's a parody of a certain segment of conservatives and they get mad at silly things like that
@@bash18 I get that, but it real-life those conservatives are motivated (at least nominally) by religious piety. Something which Jack very clearly does not have.
Because that whole thing is about politics not religion.
Terrorists do say “Happy Holidays” though
his capitalist soul battling it out with his Irish roots.
is it true that in real life Jane married a jewish producer that was over 57 years older than her?
When there were still wits in ELizabeth Banks
Terrorists do say, "Happy Holidays"
Blurb
GIVE US A FUCKING EPISODE
Could Jane krakowski really sing or was that lip sync
She won a Tony award for the musical Nine.
She's done a lot of musicals on Broadway. She's a genuine triple threat.
My favorite X-Mas moment is when Alec Baldwin "accidentally" shoots and murders Santa. Such happy memories!
Dude. Too soon
What's wrong with you?
trying to be clever but too stupid?

Killing a woman “accidentally”. Perfect timing
