Kenneth's smiling is one of the reasons 30 Rock is such an amazing show.

HE IS SO ADORABLE. I also love the running gag that he's immortal.

[–]blahblahblahdkjdfgj 9 points10 points ago

I loved the episode a few weeks ago where his mom and his mom's friend Ron visited.

"[Kenneth] has always been a special boy. I remember the day he was born. He looked up at me and said, ‘Momma, I am not a person. My body’s just a flesh vessel for an immortal being whose name if you heard it would make you lose your mind.'"

[–]GetItTogether 0 points1 point ago

It's seriously impossible to be mad when he's smiling like that!!

[–]chaoskitty 8 points9 points ago

I also love that high-pitched unearthly "squeeee" sound he politely makes when he's angry, like he's a Lovecraftian monster clothed in human form just barely maintaining his human form.

[–]TheAckIsBack 37 points38 points ago

That smile never fails to brighten my day.

[–]obsequious_flattery 0 points1 point ago

Your comments never fail to brighten my day.

[–]SOaDaholic 34 points35 points ago

Anyone else notice the BLUE thing someone holds up above the WAFFLES ?

[–]palsar 17 points18 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

I never noticed that before.

[–]SOaDaholic 29 points30 points ago

They reference a lot of memes/shock stuff like that. I remember one episode where Liz Lemon's parents visit and they want to have a party. Her dad says something along the lines of "Ain't no party like a Lemon party". I laughed, but no one in my family got it..

[–]palsar 20 points21 points ago

[–]SOaDaholic 8 points9 points ago

Oh shit, even better than I remembered.

[–]SexLiesAndExercise 3 points4 points ago

Cause a Liz Lemon party is mandatory.

[–]codymariesmith 2 points3 points ago

You might be combining two scenes, this one and the one palsar posted.

[–]goth_bacon 3 points4 points ago

Can someone explain this to me?

[–]palsar 9 points10 points ago

Google "blue waffles."

[–]StereoMarx 6 points7 points ago

You evil bastard.

[–]Puninteresting 1 point2 points ago

Good catch. Also, gross.

[–]32koala -2 points-1 points ago

That's a piece of paper, most likely a script. They're on the set of a show-within-the-show.

[–]sflex 189 points190 points ago

Waffles? Don't you mean carrots? HAHAHAHAHA

... are we still doing this?

[–]tcerealk 94 points95 points ago

WOOO this goes way back! way before 2am chilli and ice soap

[–]Ceron 76 points77 points ago

It's weird how that even though 2AM chili and ice soap are completely different, they're associated with one another because they were posted near each other.

And also because of that one time when that guy made ice soap out of 2AM chili, I guess.

[–]ckuiper 37 points38 points ago

The best part of the whole Ice Soap saga was this comment that the OP posted a few days later after complete reddit silence

[–]aulter1688 21 points22 points ago

461 days ago

Jesus Christ.

[–]DrunkenJarJar 12 points13 points ago

Man, what have I been doing in the past year?

Oh yeah, broke up with gf, hit the gym, and travelled! Yay!

[–]Puninteresting 10 points11 points ago

For some reason, this comment made me feel good. Thanks, guy.

[–]KuramaSutra 0 points1 point ago

You forgot, delete facebook and lawyer up.

[–]Ballistica 10 points11 points ago

Everyone forgets the 2min brownies like a week before 2am chili

[–]Definitelynotrexryan 4 points5 points ago

I personally remember the ice cream thing that the chili guy made a little bit later. It was delicious

[–]YoungRL 2 points3 points ago

They did get merged at one point, though

[–]Anindoorcat 0 points1 point ago

IIRC we done the waffles carrots thing for the ones that didn't go to the colbert washington rally

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

"Way back"? Has it been that long? What year is it?

[–]JJKebab 6 points7 points ago

That has to be at least 1 year ago.

[–]electriophile 7 points8 points ago

So, like, prehistoric times right?

[–]JJKebab 1 point2 points ago

For the internet, yeah...

[–]JJKebab 3 points4 points ago

Just checked, October 30th, 2010.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

Wow, two fucking years ago.

Now that I think about it, it all started because so many redditors were at the Jon Stewart rally and all the other redditors decided to play a prank like we "missed" something, so they came up with that joke. So yea, Halloween 2 years ago. Damn, I've been here for a long time.

[–]Jiuholar 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit I have been here way too long.

[–]narcoblix 4 points5 points ago

Way back? I remember when karma parties where a thing (you think I'm joking about this, but I'm not. They were a real thing, the biggest being the december 2009 karma party.) Also:

disco ball

[–]Thaumimicus 2 points3 points ago

Wow, karma inflation must have skyrocketed.

[–]DoWhile 1 point2 points ago

Yes, due to the influx of new users, karma is easier to get than ever!

[–]baby-giraffe 0 points1 point ago

I remember ice soap, I do not remember 2am chili. Link for the lazy?

[–]kevlarcupid 3 points4 points ago

While I applaud anyone trying to do 1000 carrot waffles, take it from an old gym rat like me…

[–]The_Doctor_00 1 point2 points ago

The memories, they are coming back to me ...

[–]Beanstudd 1 point2 points ago

This just makes me wish someone out there has kept record of the birth and death of the hundreds of micro memes reddit has generated and forgot over the years.

[–]VeganCommunist 6 points7 points ago

'Waffles, don't you mean carrots?' is actually one of the big. Here is a place to start: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/reddit

[–]Haacker45 117 points118 points ago

[–]Haacker45 52 points53 points ago

Did somebody say waffles?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

My man DWill.

[–]Nordbergh 2 points3 points ago

Are you truly an NBA All-Star NBAallstar?

[–]NoProof 6 points7 points ago

I SAID WAFFLES

[–]Haacker45 3 points4 points ago

Do you have any proof?

[–]NoProof 8 points9 points ago

ITS MY CAKE DAY GOD DAMNIT

[–]ThePandanator 3 points4 points ago

[–]Trinitykill 1 point2 points ago

I don't suppose you have any proof of that?

[–]narcoblix 2 points3 points ago

I prefer the rock out version.

FTFY. No need for fake link-text.

[–]MagicalTrevor09 3 points4 points ago

?

[–]Terr_ 12 points13 points ago

He wrote fake link-text to try to fool people into thinking--in a stunning coincidence--the image was semi-randomly named "w4ffl3" by imgur. But it's too good to be true.

For example: http://www.reddit.com

[–]PepeAndMrDuck 1 point2 points ago

Welcome.

[–]Haacker45 0 points1 point ago

Man www.reddit.com sure has change.

[–]SlightlySlizzed 0 points1 point ago

Nice eye.

[–]Cabooseman 231 points232 points ago

Kenneth's Face

[–]cocktails4 55 points56 points ago

Uncanny.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

Whoa. It's perfect.

[–]hurlingheadlong 28 points29 points ago

I love the way Tracy sways in this gif like a child. Kenneth and Tracy's relationships is one of my favorite parts of 30 Rock. Even more than Liz and Jack's, I dare say.

[–]awesomekoifish 45 points46 points ago

and how your friend reacts to your ploy

[–]danE3030 9 points10 points ago

He's friends with Denzel Washington?

[–]Freddie_AppsHero 12 points13 points ago

Wenzel Doshington.

[–]nickthedick69 6 points7 points ago

That's basically what every new electronic music artist is doing now a days

[–]Sjefkees 0 points1 point ago

Wait, are there others besides Com Truise? I thought he was rather original :(

[–]nickthedick69 2 points3 points ago

Vodge Diper... lol

[–]PartiallyCat 1 point2 points ago

Mord Fustang. Good music, too.

[–]i_call_bullshit_dude 1 point2 points ago

For some reason I read this in Shawn Spencer's/James Roday's voice.

[–]AAAAAWWW_YYYEEEEAAAA 3 points4 points ago

I thought that was Martin Lawrence.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit, this joke is tired.

[–]danE3030 -1 points0 points ago

Did I see what you did there?

[–]yodamaster103 -1 points0 points ago

nah its carl weathers

[–]TrickTrolld 19 points20 points ago

They broke the 180 degree rule. I'm totally disoriented.

[–]Grandpa_Shorts 8 points9 points ago

My guess is they were shooting two cameras and the steady cam operator had to be on that side for a smooth shot.

It's funny though that I didn't notice this when it was on the show, but noticed it when I saw this gif.

[–]DeathByPianos 15 points16 points ago

No it was almost certainly intentional. They're professionals and the 180-degree rule is just about the first thing you learn about film making. It was done because it was disorienting. It emphasizes the breaking of your expectations of what's in the box.

[–]wishinghand 3 points4 points ago

What's that rule?

[–]TokyoXtreme 4 points5 points ago

It's when something is so surprising (pizza being waffles, in this case), that you do a full 180 TWICE and run away.

[–]namhob 6 points7 points ago

In case you are actually wondering:

Picture yourself watching two people converse face to face. You may see them from the side (person A on the left and person B on the right), or you could even stand behind either of them to see one of their faces. Chances are, you'll only do this on one side of the 180 degree line (picture a line connecting the two people talking, you'll only stay on one side of that line).

Now picture yourself watching that same conversation and you keep moving around so that person A is now on the right and person B is on the left. You suddenly lose track of the conversation because you start forgetting who said what based on what sides the conversation came from.

[–]FamousSAS 3 points4 points ago

TIL, thanks :)

[–]theroarer 1 point2 points ago

It's okay to break it on purpose.

[–]TrickTrolld 1 point2 points ago

You're right, I just want to use this gif

Gawd, I love Jack McBrayer. x3

[–]SneakyPete27 2 points3 points ago

Stay warm this Xmas, or face the wrath of blue waffles.

[–]lovelala 2 points3 points ago

ugh i made the mistake of googling blue waffles the other day and i still want to die.

[–]SneakyPete27 7 points8 points ago

It is terrible, so here's a picture of a cute cat and dog to help wipe the image.

[–]James_Arkham 5 points6 points ago

Risky click.

[–]SneakyPete27 0 points1 point ago

Bullshit, you can be mine

[–]Daomen 3 points4 points ago

This is one of the best moments of 30 Rock television

[–]Hopeful_Swine 7 points8 points ago

<confession bear> I can't stand Tracy Morgan. I think he is a terrible actor. </confession bear>

[–]geoist 5 points6 points ago

He's not acting... That's the thing.

[–]ticklefists 4 points5 points ago

I can confirm that he has a mild form of down syndrome.

[–]Hopeful_Swine 2 points3 points ago

TIL

[–]LiiaAnn 0 points1 point ago

Ah Kenneth is such a brilliant friend

[–]zoudain 0 points1 point ago

He fixed it!

[–]The__Skywalker 1 point2 points ago

This is why I love Kenneth so damn much! THE FUTURE, he has seen.

[–]catscreatelols -1 points0 points ago

My best friend's dog is named Waffles. It is a huge inconvenience when it comes to discussing breakfast foods.

[–]brakeforbandit 0 points1 point ago

This is awesome.

[–]tzonask 0 points1 point ago

I just watched this episode not 10 minutes ago.

Fantastic series.

[–]TheGreatWaffles 1 point2 points ago

Mmmmm.

[–]FattyDaChosen1 -1 points0 points ago

its just a great feeling lol

[–]geoist 0 points1 point ago

Where are the french fries that I did not ask for?

[–]strobexp 0 points1 point ago

Kenneth's smile alone is reason enough to get out of bed in the morning

[–]Hamiltonium -1 points0 points ago

I have no idea what ant of my friends want for Christmas, nor do I even care. More importantly, all hail Kenneth.

[–]GAMEchief 0 points1 point ago

Guys, get this, what if, guys, listen, what if on the waffles, are you listening, okay, listen, what if on the waffles there were, get this, ready, pizza toppings, like fucking sausage and pepperoni and shit, like guys, even maybe the pizza sauce do you think that would be good on waffles?

[–]JGL011 0 points1 point ago

I am, right now, watching that episode.

[–]seianat 0 points1 point ago

What episode is this from?

[–]Geruvah 0 points1 point ago

I wonder if he wanted waffles because he obviously would've smelled them before the pizza box opened.

[–]renome -2 points-1 points ago

But he wanted blue waffles!
