Last night's 30 Rock seemed a bit familiar, didn't it? It felt like something we'd read was just being basically reiterated to us, with a lot more jokes. The episode took place mostly at Liz's 20 year high school reunion, and we came to see that she was an acidic loner at her suburban Philadelphia school, with extra weight and big silly eyebrows. Where have we heard this tale before? Oh! Yes! Of course! In the cover story on creator/star Tina Fey for this month's Vanity Fair! Snide. But, y'know, funny.

In the article she cops to being a bit of a nerdy weirdo joke-making loner in high school, and much is made of her biting mean streak. Which was... basically what the episode was about. Liz pictured herself as a quiet, put-upon nerd in high school. Everyone else remembers her as a quick-with-the-nasty-joke tormenting bully. We're sure the actual truth of Fey's adolescence is somewhere in the middle. But we gotta be honest, while the episode was hysterical as always, we feel a little cooled to Fey after the VF piece. Maybe it's seething jealousy, and maybe it's worry that if we were to meet her, she'd tear us down to size in about two seconds.

That said, we wonder what she thinks about this Philly dude who says he "made out" with her when he was in seventh grade. It's probably something snide. But, y'know, funny.
