Synopsis:

Spoiler:

Episode 20 of 22

Yes, that episode title is real.

Lateralus · 05-03-12, 08:55 PM

Worst episode ever.

grenier · 05-03-12, 09:13 PM

That was unwatchable

Giles · 05-03-12, 09:26 PM

when an ancillary character becomes the story's central character you knew the writers were scrapping the bottom of the barrel - even the jokes were really really weak - it played out like a CBS comedy

Draven · 05-03-12, 09:48 PM

Loved it. The baby stole everything. And again, they nailed that stupid reality show format.

Giantrobo · 05-03-12, 10:35 PM

Yeah, they pissed on the "reality show" thing pretty good.

Cellar Door · 05-03-12, 11:05 PM

Didn't like it when they did this before, didn't like it this time either.

bluesix · 05-04-12, 12:19 AM

This did feel self-indulgent.

I'm sure the writers had more fun thinking of ways to parody reality shows using the 30 Rock characters than most of us did watching it.

You can kinda tell this show is slouching its way toward its series finale.

JasonF · 05-04-12, 12:21 AM

I enjoyed it as a change of pace, but I definitely wouldn't want to see more than one Queen of Jordan episode per year. That said, D'Fwink responsibly!

Also, even though she's only good for a handful of episodes per season, I hope they don't write Elizabeth Banks out of the show completely.

Toonview · 05-04-12, 12:50 AM

Interesting responses. I thought it was pretty funny.

JTH182 · 05-04-12, 05:52 AM

This episode felt like it was an hour long, whereas Community felt like it was only 15 minutes.

Gunde · 05-04-12, 06:13 AM

I couldn't even finish it. Absolutely terrible.

TallGuyMe · 05-04-12, 07:33 AM

this did not work for me one bit. and fuck, that baby was ugly.

movieking · 05-04-12, 08:30 AM

I hated the first one and I hated this one.

Groucho · 05-04-12, 08:35 AM

I thought it was pretty funny, although nothing beats when somebody threw a glass of water into a dog's face from last year.

Same here. The problem I have with this type of spoof is that the target is already so cartoonish and stupid to begin with, so making a parody of it just feels redundant.

Geofferson · 05-04-12, 09:39 AM

Didn't really care for this one.

It’s definitely low hanging fruit. I also think one's enjoyment may depend on whether you watch those Bravo shows. I don't. Not many laughs for me last night.

I couldn't stop laughing.
And what was up with the reference to John Mark Karr. So obscure.

whotony · 05-04-12, 11:59 AM

The line to kiss jack saved the ep a little.

JeffTheAlpaca · 05-04-12, 04:27 PM

It had some laughs but I hate it when they have to change the entire format of the show to spoof realty shows which I hate and would never watch.

Hope this is the last Queen of Jordan episode.

"The CIA captured a North Korean spy, and they were able to arrange a prisoner swap. In exchange for my wife they get their spy back, a crate of Hollister sweatshirts, and a signed headshot of Don Johnson. They just got Nash Bridges"

“I’d appreciate it if you guys at Bravo…Sorry, gays at Bravo…”

Tracy Morgan saying he does not watch tv and just masturbates.

Kory · 05-04-12, 06:03 PM

This show had been on a roll lately, but this episode was not good. A few big laughs but overall, I did not like it one bit.

lordwow · 05-04-12, 08:07 PM

I seriously fell asleep watching this.

Double_Oh_7 · 05-04-12, 09:56 PM

I thought the first time they did this was brilliant, but it didn't need to be done again.
