Favorite Tracy Jordan moments?


Here's a few of mine:

Liz: Break a leg!
Tracy: That's easy for me to do because I have a severe calcium deficiency.

Jack: I'm on the board of directors for the New York Philharmonic.
Tracy: Well I'm friends with Phil Harmonic, the worst rapper ever!

Jack: Tracy, have you ever tried Googling yourself?
Tracy: I Google myself all the time, like when Angie's not in the mood, or I'm in a hotel room by myself.
Jack: That means to look yourself up on the internet.
Tracy: That explains why Liz Lemon was so cool about it the other day!
[flashback]
Tracy: Hey Liz Lemon, can I Google myself in your office?
Liz: Sure Tracy!
Tracy: Can I use your computer?
Liz: How else you gonna do it?

Tracy: I'm hosting the International Pornography Awards and I have to get an insurance physical so I can fly into the arena in a penis-shaped parachute.

Tracy: Thanks, Jack, for coming to this emergency meeting. I'm sorry I'm four hours late, but my alarm clock didn't go off because it died in a cock fight last night.

Tracy: I missed the birth of both of my sons for very legitimate reasons.
Dotcom: Cooking a French bread pizza, and forgot.

Tracy: I yelled 'bababooey' at Walter Cronkite's funeral, so I actually have no idea of what's rude or not.

Tracy: Why don't Catholics eat meat on Fridays? I'll tell you why: It's because the Pope owns Long John Silver's.

Frank: Tracy, did you hear? Fred Dawkins, the overweight guy who was the inventor of Pac Man, has died.
Tracy: I shall eat a bowl of cherries and some ghost meat in his honor.

Tracy: Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets.

Liz: I want to see the Tracy Jordan that got you kicked out of the White House!
Tracy: Well I'd love to but the Secret Service took away my t-shirt cannon!

I think Tracy's contributions to the show are underrated. Everyone talks about what a bad actor he is, but to me that was the point. He's best when he's at his worst. Anyway, the top three that jumped out for me were:

Until you are adequately debased, you will subsidize my predilection for erotica!

Television on! Pornography!

Uh oh! Here come the rooffies...

The white man put aids in my chicken nuggets.

The thing about those quotes is that they're funny Tracy Jordan lines, written by someone else, that Tracy Morgan only got half a laugh with because he screwed up his line reading.

Tracy: I have no reason to hug her except for my love of having boobs pressed against me.
Liz: If I hugged you, I would angle it so you got no boob.
Tracy: And I would anticipate your angling and I would get there.

Liz:
You're a 42-year-old man.
Tracy:
No I'm not. I took a Real Age Test that said I'm dead.

I am new to 30 Rock and watching re-runs.

One of my favorite (so far) comments by Tracey is [paraphrasing slightly]: "You're gonna like [such and such] so much you'll wanna take it behind the junior high and get it pregnant!"

"I yelled 'Baba Booey' at Walter Cronkite's funeral, so I actually have no idea of what's rude or not."

Legitimately one of the hardest times I've ever laughed.

I just finished the series a few days ago, some that stand out for me (I may not have it word for word)

When he's talking about bonding with his son, he says "get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! and after we watch Fievel Goes West, we're gonna bond!"

When people are booing at him: "Stop booing at me! I know most of you are not real ghosts!"

When he misquotes Malcolm X: "We didn't land on Plymouth Rock! Plymouth Rock landed on Mars!"

When Grizz and Dot Com ask him if he wants to go to a sarcophagus auction: "Nah, I don't even use the ones I have!"

I may not remember the quotes word for word so sue me 😎
