I prefer Who Dat Ninja.
Oh hai doggie.
I’m a fan of FAT B*TCH.
I’m still waiting for “Jefferson” to come out. (“Get me off this horse!”)
tracy morgan is not funny, i’m suprised that he is still on 30 Rock.
I agree. I feel frightened for his mental health every time I see him.
Why? I’m pretty sure that being zany isn’t dangerous.
I think Tracy Morgan is hlarious. He’s essential on 30 Rock. You do realize that saying things like “[So-and-so] isn’t funny” is completely stupid, right? Humor is subjective. For instance, d-bags find Dane Cook’s stand up hilarious. I don’t. You don’t find Tracy Morgan funny. I do. See?
are you also surprised that kobe bryant is still playing basketball, b/c you think he’s so bad at shooting?
SO excited! he is an integral part of 30 rock, and im sure he’s gonna have one hell of a performance.
We were hoping for A Blaffair to Rememblack, but we’ll settle for Blavatar.
No, no, no… It’s Afritar.
