30 Rock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and New Girl are amusing, genius, and very, very, very funny shows. So, naturally, they are filled with amusing, genius, and very, very, very funny details.
Elizabeth Meriwether Pictures / 20th Century Fox Television / Via giphy.com Here are the top 39 funny moments from these shows that may have went under your radar! 1. On 30 Rock, GothamMoms.com has some hilarious talking points — particularly the last one.
Seen this a 100 times and never noticed this. The amount of detail in 30 Rock amazing. Not to mention hilarious. from 30ROCK 2. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Hitchcock and Scully find a way to pass papers without getting up.
Scully and Hitchcock using an extended clipper just so they don't have to get up is the exact type of detail I love in this show from brooklynninenine 3. On New Girl, the alternatives to intercourse that Jess tells her students are pretty stellar.
Just noticed Ms. Day’s alternatives to intercourse. “Write a convict!” from NewGirl If you can't read it, Jess's listed alternatives to intercourse are "Get to know a neighbor," "Tick/lice check," "Change your email password," "Look at pics of STDs," "Write a convict," "Meet a friend for decaf," and "Watch Friday Night Lights." 4.

The details make the show even funnier from brooklynninenine 9. On New Girl, one person protesting against the construction noise makes a sign that says, "I've got ass if you've got grass."

I'm on what has to be at least my 12th rewatch and just noticed the logos on the mics at the press conference. from 30ROCK 11. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Amy destroyed Jake at chess.
Just noticed that Jake got owned by Amy at chess and the way they hung out after the match looked adorable (They haven't dated each other yet). from brooklynninenine 12. On New Girl, Winston mimes his drink.
End of S3E11, anyone else notice that Winston is drinking a ghost drink after Cece slammed his drink into the bar from NewGirl 13. On 30 Rock, there is a brilliantly titled Jimmy Carter biography.

It took me 5 times of watching B99 to notice details like this but that is what i love the show for Also Terry indeed has impressive hearing from brooklynninenine 18. On New Girl, Schmidt's love of Multiplicity makes an appearance in Season 6.

The details in this show will never cease to amaze me from 30ROCK 20. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the tagger defaces Jake's computer.
Tiny detail I just noticed: in “The Tagger” when Podolski comes to get his son, we can see that his son tagged Jake’s monitor while he was away from his desk from brooklynninenine 21. On New Girl, Winston – who is colorblind and sees Kermit the Frog as brown – cannot believe that turtles and beavers are different colors.
I just noticed this subtle moment where Winston’s mind is blown as Jess mentions that turtles and beavers are different colors from NewGirl 22. On 30 Rock, Jenna has vodka — maybe water, but, nah, definitely vodka — with some whipped cream.
Just noticed that, in 7x03, Jenna has a glass of ice water topped with whipped cream on her desk instead of a normal coffee order. from 30ROCK 23. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, during a briefing, Gina sketches the words "kill me."

You can see a sign for Jack's lost pants in the background of this scene with him and Tracy from 30ROCK 26. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you can see Jake trying to sneakily take a glass of orange juice.
Somehow I never noticed you can actually see Jake taking a glass of orange juice so he can put Teddy's phone in it (4x13) from brooklynninenine 27. On New Girl, the background of Jess's phone in a Season 6 episode is very similar to the puppy picture that made her cry in Season 2.

I was rewatching the series and noticed Tracy's T-shirt from 30ROCK 29. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, someone — probably Jake — has added to a sign urging people to keep the kitchen counter clean.

Remember the winning newspaper table Nick and Jess made at the dating event while arguing over their kiss? I just noticed that they brought it home with them. from NewGirl This one isn't totally a joke, but I think it fits. 31. On 30 Rock, Kathy Geiss straight-up eats flowers.
I never noticed until today that Kathy Geist is eating flowers in the background as Devin is chatting up the flower salesman. from 30ROCK 32. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Gina has a drink she clearly stole from Rosa.

Just noticed the senior quote from 30ROCK 38. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Charles makes a rule that Jake cannot talk about Derek while they're on a stakeout.
