"30 Rock"'s Incestuous Musical Number (VIDEO)

First Posted: 04/07/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 04:25 PM ET

On "30 Rock" last night, Jenna's mother came back into her life after years of abandonment. To celebrate their new-found relationship, Verna threw a surprise birthday party for her daughter, at the end of which they sang a duet they had planned to do decades before. Unfortunately, it was deeply deeply inappropriate...and hilarious.


WATCH:

This (of course) reminds us of the classic "Arrested Development" moment in which Michael and his niece, Maeby, sing "Afternoon Delight," which similarly ends badly.

Watching that the other night reminded me how much I've missed Jan Hooks.

I miss 30 Rock, haven't watch the 4th season yet. DAMN, it is indeed the best sitcom in the world.

Loved the homage to Arrested Development's Afternoon Delight.

Yeah, I love that they made two "shout-outs" to Arrested Development in last night's episode.

1) Inappropriate duet

2) Liz's junk food in the beginning=> Cornholes! (even though on AD it's the Cornballer...but Lucille's line : "Everyone's laughing and riding and cornholing except Buster")

The funniest part of this duet was Jenna pre-prepared with a wireless mic in her clutch. Hilarious!

Haha yeah I loved that. She probably has a mic with her wherever she goes.

They should go on the road as "2 Nuts 2"

(See, there used to be this act composed of singers like Rosemary Clooney, Rose Marie, Margaret Whiting, etc.) that went on the road as "4 Girls 4"...

Not as good an akward duet as Michael Bluth and his niece Maeby singing 'Afternoon Delight'.

Nothing has come close to Arrested Development.. nothing.
