4:12 Jane Krakowski doesn’t get enough credit for her physical comedy

[@creativelychandra]

For real. I was just thinking how funny it was that she keeps going even when they start to talk. 😂

[@Sarlat7]

omg... the irony of Jack being with a woman who fakes an accent is too funny lmao. The show knows all!

[@LayneBenofsky]

It's astonishing. :D After everyone is tired of comparing the Simpsons to everything, it'll be 30 Rock references.

[@garzapinups]

Oh gosh yes!!

[@uniquehandel]

Lol. It's perfect. Every other of his girlfriends had such terrible, fake accents

[@animillation]

I was about to point this out....how you say....how you say .....🥒🥒🥒

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

One detail I love is Emily Mortimer’s English accent sounding phony after her accent slip, which is funny since she’s English sounding like an American doing a bad English accent.

[@deyesed]

The accent slip just made her sound a bit Irish more than an American faker tbh.

[@MaxOakland]

YES it was amazing

[@Wakish0069]

It was the word choice too, 'daft wanker' is 100% something an American would think up in that situation

This was a REVELATION to me. I had not seen Emily Mortimer in a comedic role. She nailed it. CONGRATS to you Emily. You brought so much to a show that was already overflowing with talent and quality.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

Have you seen her in The Newsroom?

[@Kevin_Kennelly]

She's Phoebe, you've seen her before. Jack proposed to her outside Liz's office. Phoebe has hollow bones... like a bird.

Is it weird that Jack's 'woman that is wrong for him' is identical to Niles' Maris and Mel from Frasier? Like, is it a thing in sitcoms that small upper class woman = incompatible mutant?

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

It's a thing in real life too. Inbreeding.

[@Suzanne4415]

Is she supposed to be true upper class? I don't remember this storyline super well but I assumed she was supposed to be golddigging, like to an extent rich people wouldn't bother to... and both her parents were supposedly poets (which I guess could be a fine way to phrase "independently wealthy" tho). And she's implied to not really be a mutant. Still feels like you might be on to some kind of trope tho.

one has to be a braindead murrican to even consider actors or other such celebs as politicians .. bad enough murricans are dumb enough to elect very rich people as the representation of common folk, but also going for people who pretend to be someone else professionally is just the cherry on top of moron mountain.
