History YMMV / ThirtyRock

** In the first episode, Liz only agreed to hire Tracy in the first place in return for a guarantee that Jenna's job was safe. One wonders if she regrets that now. And now that Jenna is a genuine star for her role on the hit show "America's Kids Got Dancing", she's probably quite valuable to TGS.

* MemeticBadass: '''''[[IAmSong His name is]][[KelseyGrammar KELSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!]]'''''

* TheScrappy: [[spoiler: Avery, [[RonTheDeathEater at least to some of the more extreme Liz/Jack shippers.]]]]

* UnfortunateImplications: "Goodbye, My Friend", the Aesop of which is arguably "If you're facing an accidental pregnancy, keep the child, even if you're young and stupid and have no there's no reason to believe you'll be any good at raising it." Subverted by the final episode of Season 6, ''What Will the Gang Do Next Year?'' when both realize the ''only'' reason they got married was that she got knocked up, and acknowledged it wasn't a good idea, divorcing.

* CompleteMonster: El Generalissimo the villain, whose [[ActingForTwo actor happens to look like Jack]], in the soap opera that Elisa's grandmother watches. During various clips we see El Generalissimo blows up a small child and apparently date rapes a woman.

** In "Black Light Attack!" the sight of Tina Fez bent over was meant to be unappealing. Yeah right.

* AcceptableNationalityTargets: This show ''really'' has it out for {{Italy}}.
** Might be ValuesDissonance. The American-Irish community used to have a well known hatred of Italians (and vice versa) and most of the anti-Italian sentiment comes from Irish characters. This isn't really a well known animosity anymore since this mainly occurred between immigrants from both countries entering the United States at about the same time and competing for the same jobs and living space in cities. The animosity fell out of general favor as the Irish and Italian communities began to spread out through the country, removing the competition between the two groups.

** In "Black Light Attack!" the sight of Tina Fez [[BabyGotBack bent over]] was meant to be unappealing. Yeah right.

* FetishFuel: Will Forte in drag... for this troper and a few of her friends, at the very least.

* TheScrappy: [[spoiler: Avery, [[RonTheDeathEater at least to some of the more extreme Liz/Jack shippers.]]

----

* TheScrappy: Avery. [[spoiler: Many were surprised that Jack ended up with her instead of Nancy. She is arguably the most disliked romantic interest of the main characters and she has yet to derail like other recurring high-profile guest stars.]]
** What? Avery is funny because she's an exaggerated version of Jack. And she's far more likeable than a bunch of the schlubs that Liz has dated, along with that awful woman Jack was engaged to. Unlike virtually any other love interest on the show, actually is a great fit for Jack, and has a ton of great lines and cutaway gags. The reason [[RonTheDeathEater fans try to dub her]] TheScrappy is her actually plausible relationship interferes with the Jack-Liz {{Shipping}}.

** AlasPoorScrappy: YourMileageMayVary, as seen above, [[spoiler:but she ultimately gets captured by Kim-Jong-Il. And was married to his son.]]
