So you know how much of 30 Rock‘s plot last night revolved around McFlurrys? What’s that, you didn’t watch it? WHY NOT?? It’s only the best show on television. Anyway, so the McFlurry was a big part of the show last night, and today everyone was talking about how Tina Fey’s show must have scored big bucks from McDonalds from the product placement. I personally saw three Twitter friends last night tweet about how bad they wanted a McFlurry. (Wanna follow me on Twitter? Click here!)
But Tina says in a statement that they got no cash from Mickey D’s. She just loves McFlurrys that much:
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the references to McDonald’s in last night’s episode of 30 Rock were in no way product placement. (Nor were they an attempt at product placement that fell through.) We received no money from the McDonald’s Corporation. We were actually a little worried they might sue us. That’s just the kind of revenue-generating masterminds we are.
Also, the upcoming story line where Liz Lemon starts dating Grimace is just based on a recurring dream I have.
Seriously, though, it’s not product placement.
Also, whoever is writing my Twitter account is pretty funny, but it’s not me.
(Tina’s fake Twitter account is here. But you should really follow mine instead.)
Oh, man.
A woman who’s willing to admit to obsessing on McFlurrys is a woman after my own heart. I haven’t had one in awhile, since I went vegan and all, and I’m allergic to dairy to begin with, but DAMN did I love those things. I would mostly just order them and then pick out the chilled Butterfinger pieces to eat. AMAZING.
My GOD I would marry that woman SO MUCH.
Haha! That episode was hilarious. Every episode of this show is hilarious. Because of this show, I’ve gone from disliking Selma Hayek to tolerating her. She’s actually pretty funny. I didn’t know you were a fan Beet.
“Are you one of those convenient Catholics who only goes to church on Sundays?” was my favourite line. I thought the Kenneth/Tracy plot was weak, I expect better from that show.
LOVE Tina Fey, don’t love 30 Rock. I keep watching it because it’s after The Office, and I’ve got to admit, I wanted a McFlurry SOO bad after last night.
Call me a stickler but the McFlurry doesn’t come with butterfingers, its only in M&M or Oreo. I know this for a fact since I’m pregnant and wanted a butterfinger Blizzard…but had to settle for the Oreo McFlurry.
That was such a hilarious episode. I think I love Jon Hamm.
Anyway, I’m vegan too and I’m SURE you could make something similar to the McFlurry with some soy or rice-based ice cream and a whole bunch of yummy crumbly oreos and chunks of dark chocolate…
…droooool…
That was such a hilarious episode. I think I love Jon Hamm. And Tina Fey of course. Gotta love Tina Fey.

I would totally go gay for Tina fey
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
My two stoner friends ( who LOVE the show) were willing to leave in the middle of the episode to go get a McFlurry.
Too funny!
Tina is a lil’ golden ray of hope!
