30 Rock: Kenneth is Immortal

[ZhenChan365]

Kenneth is so cute x3

[xphatangelx]

I KNEW IT! LOL.

[minarri]

There's also the time that Cerie calls Kenneth an old soul.

[Zaphod4100]

Kenneth attended the Kentucky Mountain Bible College, that is just down the road from me. Haha, Kenneth and Kentucky rock!!

[Zaphod4100]

Kenneth is 'forever young' and if you notice, his naivete goes away when he's offering sound advice to his friends, and he speaks like a person who has lived a long time and experienced lots and lots of things, that his simple page life just wouldn't account for. It is the most interesting plot mechanism in the show IMO.

[Zaphod4100]

"At some time during his childhood, Kenneth's family lived in a militia camp." During the Civil War!!!!! yeah, he's old, like a warlock.

[gman21xx]

wow I never noticed this before.

[jagofett78studios]

Remember he died for ten min and brought a monster back with him

[Seregfaroth]

Also it is mentioned somewhere that Jenna used to do a commercial for some kind of brand when she was still a kid.

Kenneth then says something along the lines of: "Oh! I remember that commercial... Oh my... You were fat when your were a kid!"

(Keep in mind that Jenna is something 40+)

[rchedan]

I just watched that ep. He was on the roof watching Lemon, Jack, Tracy, Jenna, and Paul talk.

[julianchelo]

Hill magic?

[nelliephatado]

OMG i just realized, so THIS is why kenneth keeps sacrificing himself for tracy, like getting hit and stuff!!! he can't die!!!

[bonana99]

Where's 1:34 ?

[DLegislature]

Also, I think he has the soul of a puppet. In one episode where a few of the cast was walking in front an HD camera (showing their true appearances). Kenneth was really a blue puppet.

[BaronRayt]

You should also include the scenes where Kenneth yells into the sky to Jacob.

[SergeantKeroroK66]

Kenneth's a Time Lord, no way around it.

[jmanzo2009]

There's also the LOST reference in the season 5 finale where he begs Jacob for more time.

[rpm2004]

@jmanzo2009 Hehe yeah, I think someone is dying in his arms and he shouts "Nooo Jacob, I'm not done with this one yet!"

[jackfordtrousers]

When he's packing up his things and one of the boxes says "NBC memories 1948-2009" or something

[jesuspuffgirl69]

Also, in 4.14 Kenneth vividly remembers the commercial Jenna was in as an infant.

[sparkyrules77]

it is also mentioned in the episode College that Kenneth briefly dies on Jack's balcony, but comes back to life with a message from god. i <3 kenneth

[ChippyOkenKiken]

Kenneth also mentions in "Cutbacks" ,following the death of his bird by Tracy and Jenna, that he had the pet over 60 years

[thewierdninjawolf]

@ChippyOkenKiken that was in the video

[Ric1989H]

@ChippyOkenKiken 1:20

[Ric1989H]

@ChippyOkenKiken 1:20

[chuwero12]

There was also an episode where I think he was giving a tour and said something like, "When I first started working here, an 8-year-old Shirley Temple taught me how to roll a cigarette."

[ilylac]

@OlDirtyTheBastard it blanks out two digits, i believe.

[norwenglish]

@ilylac it does briefly show 1781 I seem to remember

[iichristinll]

This video never gets old. AH, pun not intended!

[MrKingtyrant05]

is he really immortal or just qurikys jokes for the audience, i hope hes immortal, that wud be freaky and interested, wat do u guys think, is his character really immortal or just joking around?

[NPHoag]

@OlDirtyTheBastard what gravestone?

[FinalHurricane]

and instead of talking to god.. he speaks to someone named 'Jacob'.. asking him for more time on this earth and to save people from death... Kenneth might be from 1781... or from much earlier.

[shadowhexogram]

I'm pretty sure Kenneth is a highlander. 

[Anticlone11]

My favorite one is: "I hope I photograph well, because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a white haze.."

[MrClickity]

I love how he folds the old jacket like an American flag.

[Michaelridesabike]

Kenneth is the man in black. Its all a big lost reference!

[grendelee]

I like how Canadian Ned is one of the suggestions

[Clairamel1]

his birth date on his gravestone in "100" is 1781.

[AhmedValo]

"had a bird for 60 years" ROFL

[anne0k]

I think he was definetly around at the time of Julius Caesar, actually - so not immortal, but pretty darn old. In episode 4 season 4 "Audition Day", Jack says "You too, Kenneth?" in Latin, and Kenneth responds in Latin also.

[ilylac]

I think you also missed his gravestone when it's aired in one episode, and seems to read from the 1800s.

[MessengerOfDreams]

Well, I bet Kenneth believes in Jesus so much because he knew the guy. xD

[Henroshi]

"Don't you see all the good that is in them? All the capacity for love? Yes, I know. I just need more time with them! Give me more TIME Jacob! I BEG OF YOU!"

[notfrombayside]

What song is Tracy and him singing?

[HandsomeTeddy9]

I never noticed him in 0:50 where he's dancing the "microwave," that's quite awesome. defiantly my favorite character in the show, by far

[yobboblogging]

There's an episode where they're like 'I wonder where we'll be in 5 years...', and its just a shot of all their graves. There's a leaf covering the first half of Kenneth's birthdate!

[elizabethclements]

"I hate to use my bar voice in front of a lady but I am riled up."

[prismatism]

@elizabethclements i believe that was 'barn voice'

[kessa777]

Wife eyes! I lost my shit at that moment. God Damn 30 Rock rules.

[greenio52]

" Ive worn this jacket since 19 fbjabada....."

[15thCrypt]

I saw these but I never was weirded out till the one where he asked who said that I live forever? I wtf'd the 1st time I heard that one

other ones I noticed but just thought I was missing something (like in 1 ep it was implied he was 20 or 30 then that scene comes up with the tone only people above 40 can hear)

[Zalifur]

The first clip is the best hehehe

[TheKyuuban]

In the episode "100", during a flash-forward, you can see his tombstone. It says he was born in 1781.

[TheCelebrity3]

Isn't there an episode where it shows what he imagines his grave to look like? It says he was born in the 19th century...

[Urindunk]

Kenneth is a gift from God ;'-)

[saachica07]

19-dubaduh...

[MrSkroggs]

Or the time some veteran recognises him from WWII and Kenith says 'i've never been to Normandy' and the veteran says 'i never told you where i was stationed' but i love this running gag :)

[Annasplosion]

In Queen of Jordan, Kenneth's labelled "Elderly Page," on screen.

[sargeamigo123]

also in "don geiss, America, and Hope" (S4E15) kenneth tells jack he is concerned because he heard a rumor that kabletown would require age verification.

[Elyzater]

I just rewatched episode 502 and when Kenneth is packing , the box says "NBC memories 1945-57"

[madimaeberri]

Nineteen habada

[33rosyposy]

@lookf0rthelight haha, neither did I! but the reference about Jacob that you mentioned is actually a play off of the show "LOST".

[narusteph]

Wow, Kenneth ages well.

[WhatWouldNinjaDo1]

in a deleted scene Kenneth recognizes an old man as one of his war buddy's (ww2)

[sniperae]

tracy has gotten fatter...

[Johnnymushio]

@sniperae no one cares

[aliensharkboy]

I've been following this joke ever since it started! The only one I didn't notice was at 0:25 But I think your missing a few... I just quite remember what ones.

LOL At 0:47 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed him dancing!

[gungrave515]

i knew it! im glad im not the only one w ho watched this and noticed

"what the hell? is kenneth immortal??"

[neglabable]

And I don't know which episodes these are from, but:

He was upset that the new page rules would require age verification,

he once mentions having wooden teeth or something...,

and he once showed Jenna a personalized autographed picture of a NBC star from the 1930s.

[shady44x]

@neglabable i just saw the age verification one last night on netflix, it's season 4 episode 15, "Don Geiss, America, and Hope"

[Megazord5]

@neglabable Oh yeah! The wooden teeth was when they were at the rave in the studio and Tracy asked him why the black light wasn't making his teeth glow. He said something like, "don't ask me. ask the guy who widdled them."

[neglabable]

Also: "When I first started here, an 8 year-old Shirley Temple taught me how to roll cigerettes." That's 1936. (from 5.16) In case someone makes an updated one of these, though this is by far the most comprehensive video I have come across. So yay for that and thank you for posting it! :D

[wwe2dragon]

you left out a lot of other good ones

[jmike2010]

there is some episode where he doesn't see his reflection in the mirror...

i love this on going joke! very funny. good job
