Nice haul! These are always fantastic.

"Borkulator" is what I regret not naming my dog.

Yep, I remember reading the aquarium changing to a terrarium in the same article/book chapter too for that reason.

I've got a bit of source amnesia on this, but I remember I read about this in either an interview or maybe Fey's book??

The source said that the crinkly book was just really, really loud on the microphones, and they changed it to the giraffe. I forget why they didn't re-shoot the scene, but I'm imagining they left it in as a gag.

I think it does. Probably isn't too much of a stretch since 30 Rock isn't above a shout-out or ten. Just off the top of my head:

• Aliens (Kenneth using a motion tracker on Tracy's lizard)
• Star Wars (multiple)
• Annie ("Say, where does a young prostitute get started in this town?")
• The Andy Griffith Show (Floyd DeBarber)
• St. Elsewhere (the finale)
• The Jetsons (also the finale + how Tracy would have to get around like Rosie from the Jetsons if he lost a foot to die-ah-buh-dees)

It goes deeper. Look who played the teen witch and Liz's high school nemesis.

I'm not subscribed to a huge number of communities, but [email protected] has one. Seems to be the only other one in my list that does.

The icon is and appears to be animated webp like this one.

That worked. Thanks :)

When I was in college I'd go visit my parents every other weekend or so. I always brought the cat so she wasn't alone in the apartment all weekend. She would just crawl up on the little shelf under the rear windshield and nap the whole way.

Might have found a bug. In Tesseract the new icon shows up in Subscribed but in Favorites it still shows the old icon:

That is good news for the:

I can always recreate it to start at a different frame, if you want.

I think that looks okay. Appreciate it though.

Oh, I didn't know that. My only experience with community changes propagating out is when I finally got around to adding rules to the sidebar, they didn't show up on Lemmy World for about a day or so (probably 24hrs like you mentioned about user profiles).

I asked for the icon submissions to be animated webp since they're smaller and better quality than gifs. As a static image, does it at least show up in a way that makes sense?

On a more meta level, I feel pretty comfortable that 30 Rock in general was satirizing not the experience of the urban poor, but rather the cynical way that Hollywood and the privileged would capitalize on it

Absolutely. When the show was produced, we were at a point where it actually seemed like we were finally moving past a lot of the racism in society, so the show took the opportunity to poke fun at it. Unfortunately, that aged like milk, but I can see how the showrunners had good intentions.

Ah, yeah that works for a reaction gif but not an icon.

Wow, those are all pretty great. May save them all and rotate through them?

The epic eye roll one should definitely be animated, though 😅

I'm gonna leave this up for a few days, but as of now I think I have decided on using the banner you posted with Tracy in the middle. Still cycling through the icons, but so far my favorites are:

Honorable Mention because I like the simplicity of it:

I don't hate it 😂

The less-zoomed one I think works better since the other one is hard to tell what she's doing.

Faked it up in Lemmy UI for funsies:

The icon doesn't have to come from Dealbreakers haha. Though that is the most GIFfable episode that comes to mind.

@[email protected] The video uploads still bugged out when I uploaded them.

Agreed. I do like that one.

Very nice. I previewed your icon suggestion with one of the banners from another user:

Not sure how I feel about that one, but the second GIF in your comment where she's doing the arm chop thing in front of the actual Dealbreakers background might be better?

Also, since you develop the UI here, I was surprisingly able to upload videos, but the UI doesn't work quite right. The preview is broken, and you have to select "All files" before you can pick one. Just thought you might want to know. Also also, what is with the community numbers? They're very different from what the main sidebar shows. Are those just placeholders?

Very nice. I can only do a preview in Dubvee's main UI without committing them, but here's what those look like there.
