What? Why, yes. I AM pretending that the last four and a half months didn't happen. Why do you ask?
Anyway, I've been watching 30 Rock. You see, my wife ran off to Kansas with her new boyfriend, leaving me with a kid, a bunch of debt, and a van that's falling apart.
Huh? Yes, I AM glossing over the most traumatic event in my recent personal history for comedic effect. And?
Anyway, I've been watching 30 Rock, since I find myself with a lot of free time (what with the wife running off and all). I started watching sit-coms so maybe I could laugh, at least.
And I am laughing at 30 Rock. I realize I'm at least a decade late to this party, but I have one question.
**NOTE** I'm only 8 episodes into the first season, so bear that in mind.
WHY am I laughing at 30 Rock? There really isn't anything that I can point to as funny. There have been a couple of clever bits (The snapple product placement, and Conan's cameo spring to mind), but nothing that I can say was really funny.
Yet, the more I watch the more I'm laughing my ass off.
If I figure it out I'll let you know.
For now, ima keep watching, keep laughing, and keep swimming that river in Egypt.
I'll leave you with this one parting thought: I hope 30 Rock doesn't end like the last show I really thought was funny, namely: How I Met Your Mother.
If you didnt watch HIMYM, go fix that. It's hilarious. Just skip the last 20-ish minutes of the last episode, it completely ruins nearly a decade of character development.
Anyway, I'm off to do... Umm...
Something...
