Liz Lemon: "You Have Sexually Transmitted Crazy Mouth. Deal Breaker!"

Last night's season finale of 30 Rock wasn't the best episode of the season—the A and B plots didn't hang together especially well—but the episode provided some of the best lines of the year. The Liz Lemon plot revolved around her sudden fame as a relationship advice-giver. Liz had written a character for show-within-a-show star Jenna that inspired the catchphrase, "It's a dealbreaker, ladies." As a result, Liz and Jenna got invited on a Tyra-esque talk show to dole out similarly pat relationship counsel.

Poking fun at female-centric institutions (the trashy talk show; the cheesy, useless, he's-just-not-that-into-you-style romantic advice book) is where Tina Fey shines—it harkens back to her Mean Girls roots. The advice Fey's Lemon gives to desperate audience members is completely priceless. "You have sexually transmitted crazy mouth," she tells one woman. "Deal breaker." To another woman, whose stylish boyfriend is about 10 times more attractive than she is, Lemon says, "You have a classic case of fruit blindness. Deal breaker." And my personal favorite, "S that D. Shut it down." In this clip, Liz starts giving advice to her co-workers' disgruntled spouses, causing Tracy Jordan's wife to cry, "Teach it like you preach it Liz Lemon!" Lord, will I miss that woman during those 30 Rock-free summer months.

As a regular reader of the XX Factor blog on Slate, I ask you to please please please post the full blog posts over there. There is nothing more irritating than going to read a blog and discovering that it is only 2 sentences followed by "read the whole post at __." I understand that you would like to bring traffic to the new site. But there are way more articles here than there are on the original blog, so you can always do a post a day in the original blog with headlines of articles and posts that are only available at the new site.

But if you are going to cross-post, please include the full post in both locations.
