On the eve of winning the Mark Twain Award for humor, Tina Fey answers fan-submitted questions from the Internet. Needless to say, I feel like she owes me an executive producer’s credit on her second answer. (UPDATE: ET TU, DAILY WHAT? Excuse me, but CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE, WORLD!)

Um. This is embarrassing, but I accidentally downvoted you when I meant to upvote.
Don’t worry–I fixed it.
She is a plagiarist all around. Liz Lemon is totally based on me. Otherwise, why would she do something like this?
Plagiarism is the worst. But sometimes its unintentional. For example, did you know I wrote Hamlet, blank verse and everything and then realized it was done by some guy like 500 years before me….that was embarrassing.
sadmalandar, are you secretly a million monkeys with typewriters?
Let me read you a little:

Nay, stand and unfold BLYOURSELF?”
Stupid monkey!

Well I, for one, am a fierce member of the Pie Lobby. Cake can suck it.
No it can’t. Cake can’t suck things.
Dropping science over here.
Pour a glass of juice on a piece of cake and then tell me it can’t.
BOOM. Knowledge.
You just got BLAMMED!
Tell me, Superglue, where do you get your ideas?
Pleidean idea implants.
I would never!!
Supergule, you, and pie, have my axe.
It goes:
(1) The best pie
(2) Pie
(3) Flourless cake
(4) The worst pie
(5) Bathtub hair mixed with gum
(6) Cake
Where does Spiderman pie fit on that continuum?
He fits wherever a spider can.
On the other hand, there is likely a substantial audience for BathtubHairGum, the humorous web log about bathtubs, hair, bathtub hair, and Willow Smith.
PRO PIE LOBBY UNITE!
I, for one, prefer that un-Godly chimera, the CHEESECAKE!
EXCUSE ME!

I have to say, although I am a firm cake supporter, this was one of the best comment exchanges i’ve read in a few weeks
But allow me to clarify my cake position and say that an excess of frosting is the worst….a thin layer if any is all that’s acceptable
I agree. Amazing comments, but let’s be serious – it’s always cake. Most of the time pie is just hot fruit. What kind of party serves hot fruit?

No no no no no. First of all, pie is super versatile. It can be sweet, it can be savory. It can be hot or cold. It can be fruit-based or creamy. But it’s ALWAYS good.
Also, I should not be taking this thread so seriously.
I’m usually a pie kinda guy but this weekend I was treated to some amazing cupcakes with surprise fillings in the center. How could you not like these?
Sorry folks, but I’m going to have to side with… ice cream!
So Tina gets her ideas from Videogum? I feel betrayed, bewildered…
I’m pretty confident that the writers of Community steal from Videogum too.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thinks that.
I wasn’t convinced until the last two episodes.
Especially since they had that Steve Winwood reference
If Gabe were the writer of Community, he’d have written Community.
Sometimes, I like to think that certain Monsters are celebrities/writers/tv personalities, quietly seeking some anonymous solace and human companionship as a respite for their unending 24-hour paparazzi blitz.
If this is true, I think it’s time for you to step forward and tell us. I’ll start. I’m Jon Hamm.
You got me. I’m Liz Lemon.
I played a disembodied head on a kids Saturday morning television show that has recently saw a resurgence in popularity.
I’m Jon Hamm’s beard.

I write about fatties for Marie Claire.
I’m Amelia Earhart — and I loved the movie.
I’m Jessica Alba. Hi, Steve. You’re pretty too.
I’m Donald Sutherland, but then you probably knew that already.
I’m TR, as many of you have all ready guessed. The internet connection up here in heaven is suprisingly great!
Why would she go back in time to ask a stupid question when she could go back in time and kill Hitler!*
*that is how you do plagarism, folks
Wait, what? I don’t get it. Where do your ideas get you, Gabe?

My question: “Why won’t you let me have any blush? I need some, not a lot, but a little, to freshen up the ‘apples’ of my cheeks. But you took it! You took ALL the blush! I can see it on your face right now!”
Um, I’m having trouble getting the joke.

I thought it was taken from that college kid’s terrible interview with Patton Oswalt, wasn’t it? Or am I remembering wrong? Is Videogum just claiming ownership of the term after that interview? It all seems very weird to me.
Jawsome. Thanks.
I don’t know. I’m a pretty regular V-gum reader and have been around since Gabe was a tender 62 years young. I don’t read every word, but I keep up with what the Monsters are getting on about. I had no what these guys were talking about. I’m going to go back to updating my Friendster profile and checking my Hotmail account now….
Ack. This was supposed to be in response to StreetzAhead’s post above.
