The biggest laugh for me was Jack's reaction to Jenna and Verna singing "Do That To Me One More Time". I had the same reaction.
Liz: "How are you not moved by this?"
Jack: "Because I'm listening to the words."
The Paranormal Activity parody was a million billion times better than Paranormal Activity was.
Not enough Tracy by a longshot. But Liz's dream of being married to Jack and giving birth to a cartoon cat was great.
Cornholes.

I mean Liz & Jenna stuff, sure. I guess this was Jenna and Jack. A great and unusually touching turn by Jenna. And "You didn’t believe in me but I believed in myself. Just like the last scene of all movies!" is one of my favorite lines I ever did hear. | dwaters

Jack's powerpoint "No, Low, Go" presentation was brilliant. Jane Krakowski always delivers the most absurd Jenna lines with complete sincerity and straight-faced making them all the more funny.

Kirk, crackers are a family food. Happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without. | kentish

Maybe. If it was makeup, they did an undetectable job.
She is 52 I think, so it could go either way. We are so used to older Hollywood types with their faces frozen by surgery/injections that maybe we forget that a normal 52 year old can actually look, well, old.
