In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “30 Rock” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22568 of the collection, and the 63rd best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “30 Rock” meme mean?

30 Rock stands for a behind-the-scenes comedy where absurdity meets satire of television. Online, the show's name works as shorthand for rapid-fire humour full of lines people trade. Fans cite it to share a famous scene, to express a wish with “I Want to Go to There,” or to celebrate characters like Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy. The dominant feeling is nostalgia for a heavily quoted comedy.

Where does the “30 Rock” meme come from?

30 Rock was created by Tina Fey, who drew on her experience as head writer of Saturday Night Live from 1999 to 2006. It aired on NBC from October 11, 2006 to January 31, 2013, for seven seasons and 138 episodes. It stars Fey as Liz Lemon, head writer of the fictional show TGS, opposite Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), a GE executive, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) and Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan). Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) and Pete Hornberger (Scot Adsit) round out the cast. The episode “Reunion,” broadcast on December 4, 2008, gave birth to the line “I Want to Go to There,” which grew into an online phrase for a place or experience you would love to visit. Other clips circulate too, such as “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” and “Haters To The Left.” The show won six Golden Globes and sixteen Primetime Emmy Awards.
