Nominate The Top 30 Quotes from 30 Rock
UPDATE:
Below are all the nominations we received. Make sure to go ahead and vote here…
OK, two things before we get going… 1) I know 30 Rock is not a reality show (like this website would suggest) but really, the show is one of my favorites and too darn good to be ignored. And 2) Let’s build the top 30 quotes from 30 Rock together.
But here’s the kicker; the quotes that we start to nominate for the list have to look good and work on t-shirts (see example below)! That’s right, without violating any sort of copyright or intellectual property, I want to immortalize on t-shirts some of the greatest quotes from one of the greatest shows.
I see this as a 3-step process.
- Nominate: We nominate a bunch of quotes for inclusion in to the list (this process)
- Vote: From the complete list of nominations, we narrow them down and vote on the Top 30.
- Production: The 30 quotes that receive the highest votes will be whisked away and sent to production for printing!
Ultimately, we will have nominated, voted on and created the definitive Top 30 Quotes from 30 Rock together as fans. Sound like a plan?
To nominate a quote (or two), simply leave a comment below. I’ll gather them up as we go along and prep them for the ‘voting booth.’ Once we have plenty to choose from, we’ll move on to vote.
Unfortunately, not all of the show’s best quotes will work on a t-shirt.
Quotes that will not work include:
- Exchanges of dialogue between characters
- Sentences that are much too long
- Anything from Jenna… I’m kidding, of course. We love Ms. Jiplin.
Quotes that will work include:
- Short one-liners that still sound great out of context
- Visual jokes from the show (IE. “UR V8K8SH1 iz baqon”)
You get the idea. You’re intelligent enough. After all, you’re a 30 Rock fan!
Here is a mock-up of a quote that first inspired this page:
