A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.
Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.
Rules:
- All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
- No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
- All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
- Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
- Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
- No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

Maybe later Bluray releases removed them? I have an early BD release that I just watched to confirm (that line's at the 5:31 mark), and that line is present.
As for why, Tina Fey is on record regretting some of the racially insensitive jokes they made (Jenna in blackface was a big one), so maybe that was on the list? I think I've read that the Amazon streams are also edited.
Here's the article about the blackface regrets: https://people.com/tv/tina-fey-requests-removal-of-30-rock-episodes-with-blackface/
This episode wasn't mentioned, so I guess I don't know why that particular line would have been cut out.
Resurrecting this ancient conversation because this just came to mind. Also tagging my current account in hopes that it will cause this comment chain to actually federate out to that instance: @SatyrSack@feddit.org
On your Blu-ray, is this two-part episode actually two separate episodes? On mine (which is bundled as a "complete series" as opposed to being just "season 5"), the two parts are instead combined into one long episode. There is no "To be continued, dummies", "Previously, on 30 Rock", or the credits scene of some clips from previous episodes. Instead, the scene with Liz and Dennis arguing outside ends, then the scene with Liz, Kenneth, and Jack in the elevator begins. The OJ line is therefore around the 26:31 mark.
Both episodes had initially aired on the same day, so my guess is that they had later edited it as two distinct episodes for syndication/streaming, and that that is the cut that had ended up on earlier Blu-ray copies.
Another couple jokes that I know differ in some places, and I am curious about what they are on your copy:
On my copy, it is the former for each.
Yay, it federated to me! Please reply to this comment so I get notified on my current account.
EDIT: Never mind. It turned out to be a bigger deal than I had expected, and I made an entire new post about it.
