NBC is home to many of our favorite comedies – Parks and Recreation, SNL, Friends and The Office all originally ran on the network. 30 Rock is no different, having joined the list in 2006. This hilarious show was the brainchild of leading lady Tina Fey, who plays the show runner of a comedic sketch series. The show focuses on the backstage antics of this fictionalized NBC-style comedy series.

While it wrapped up in 2013, its hysterical lines are still laugh out loud-worthy today. Check out this list of 30 Rock quotes and see for yourself.
