Breaking Bad isn't the only show that finished last year, 30 Rock also took a bow and we said goodbye to one of the best comedies on network TV. I was not as high on the final season as others, and the last few episodes made me think it was time for the show to hang it up, but the show was definitely still good for some high-quality one-liners. And like the Arrested Development quote from #6, this joke is actually a self-referential callback to one of the show's funnier jokes. Jane Krakowski's character Jenna repeatedly referenced the insane times (usually sexually charged) that she has had with legendary actor/crazy person Mickey Rourke. Every once in a while, Jenna would drop a line like "I'm gonna have to reinvent you. Break you down completely and build you up from scratch. Just like Mickey Rourke did to me sexually." In the final episode, Jenna begins to tell yet another story about an insane tryst with the 9 1/2 Weeks star before breaking down and breaking the fourth wall, looking directly into the camera and delivering the line above. Is it blatant fan service? Sure. But it was also very funny, which sums up the show pretty well.
