30 Rock: What Was Liz Lemon's "Sexual Nightmare"?

thumbnail icon: 30 Rock: What Was Liz Lemon's "Sexual Nightmare"?

Last night's 30 Rock was gangbusters! I've already watched it three times. Sometimes I come across a person who doesn't watch 30 Rock, and I really can't help but feel sorry for them, because something is wrong with them. The only excuse for not watching 30 Rock is living in the wilderness, and even then you could get a portable DVD player. But I digress: 30 Rock is the best show on TV. But one part is puzzling: what was the plot of Liz Lemon's Comanaprisil-induced "sexual nightmare"?

What did she say? I initially thought it was "Conan", one friend thinks it's "Kermit", and a third (almost certainly correct) friend turned it up all the way and insists it's "Grandma." (Conan would be funniest, though.)

And I thought the part after Jack tests Kenneth in the elevator would make a good video e-card for when someone has something, uh, wrong with them:

Go ahead and send that clip to anyone you know who doesn't watch 30 Rock.

As usual, the full episode is online. Here it is:

Best quote of the night: Kenneth: "There are only two things I love in this world: everybody, and television." (New motto!)

I think her nightmare had something to do with imagining a Wayans-esque race swapping gimmick within the episode. Or maybe that was just my nightmare.

My favorite line was also from Kenneth: "Oh I don't believe in hypothetical situations sir, it's like lying to your brain."

Gremlins and grandmas are nothing compared to my personal hellhole of insanity. My entire life has been an endless sexual nightmare.

Between Liz's jury duty interview an Jenna in blackface I almost had a full on asthma attack from laughing so hard.

Well done, 30 Rock. Well done.

Wait, this isn't fair! Why does Gabe have to watch all the horrible shows, yet Lindsay gets to cover Mad Men and the Office and 30 Rock? Spread the wealth!

maybe gabe hates all those shows? except 30 rock, but lindsay gets that one because of her devotion to cathy geiss.

I heart 30 Rock. Tina Fey is my idol.

I thought synchronized running was the best gag on the whole show. I laughed hard at initially, but the day afterward it hit me like a freight train when my friend mentioned it. I seriously laughed for like a minute while miming the two guys that were doing it.
