HOW DO YOU NOT “GET” 30 ROCK?!

12:13PM Jess McGuire | Just in case you didn’t already know, the lovely Clem Bastow now writes a daily piece about television over at The Vine. It’s very good and educational (the America’s Next Top Model article was a revelation, particularly the Tyra Banks gifs) and you should read it often. She’s just banged out a piece about not “getting” 30 Rock – one of my favourite shows in the whole wide world – and I wanted to bring it to your attention to see if any other folks out there are in Clem’s position.

Chris Martin’s Back Door Brag

4:32PM Jess McGuire | If you’re a fan of 30 Rock (and why wouldn’t you be, unless you were some kind of idiot?) you’d be well aware of the concept of the “back door brag”. I’ll let the character Jenna explain the concept to you if you’re unfamiliar with it: “It’s sneaking something wonderful about yourself in everyday conversation.
