Last night's 30 Rock was one of the funny but not hilarious episodes that seem to occur every few weeks. Nevertheless, there were still some golden moments, and a heaping helping of Canadian jokes.
The episode opened with some Jack/Liz banter that was charming as usual. Jack and Liz establish that they are both leaving for vacations - Jack to be with What's-Her-Name-Elizabeth-Bank's-Character in Canada, and Liz to spend a weekend with Matt Damon (playing her pilot boyfriend Carol). Liz ends up having a pencil sticking out of her fly by the end of the scene. Absolutely delightful.
While in Canada, What's-Her-Name goes into premature labor. The more Elizabeth Banks guest stars the more I'm noticing that she's not a very good actor. At any rate, this scene makes fun of both Republicans and Canadians, so suffice to say, it's quite enjoyable.
In their desperation to make sure their daughter is not born Canadian, Jack and What's-Her-Name hitch a ride in a mobile meth lab. John Cho guest stars.
Meanwhile, Liz, on Carol's plane, is stuck on the tarmac and the passengers are restless. After unsuccessfully delivering the passengers' demands to Carol, tensions run high and they almost kill an old man. This, people is how you win a Mark Twain award.
Jack finally resigns to letting the baby be born in Canada, much to What's-Her-Name's chagrin.
And meanwhile Tracy, Jenna, and Kenneth were doing something that I found boring, so I can't even remember what the crap was going on.
