This morning, the trailer for the upcoming Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt dropped, and it looks all-around adorable. With the writing duo of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock (otherwise known as the geniuses behind 30 Rock) at the helm and stars like Ellie Kemper and Jane Krakowski, the comedy about an apocalypse cultmember-turned New York City resident is bound to be on fire.
Today's teaser gives a glimpse of some of the show's highlights (and Kemper's perfectly-quirky demeanor), but we're also hoping for a bit of nostalgia out of Unbreakable. It's been almost two years since our beloved 30 Rock ended, and life just hasn't been the same without Liz Lemon and company. As such, it would be simply marvelous if the TGS gang's little reunion tossed in a few throwbacks for good measure. We're not expecting any sort of 30 Rock reboot, of course, but it's only natural for there to be a few comedic overlaps.
It's nearly impossible to play favorites among all of the comedy's gags, but we can't say we didn't enjoy the attempt. Now, it's time for Kimmy Schmidt to get working on her night cheese.
1. Mommy issues:
There's nothing funnier than watching a seemingly well-put-together man become total putty in front of his terrifying mother.
2. Jane Krakowski's awesomely bad songs:
Our girl Jane is actually a darn fine singer, but the real joke here is how completely, mind-numbingly terrible Jenna's jams were. "Muffin Top?" "Oh Noble Sheep?" Heck, yes.
3. Embarassing moments that are actually awesome life hacks:
Liz Lemon changed the cupcake-eating game forever. Never again has mankind had to deal with an improper cake-to-frosting ratio.
4. Some hilarious political potshots:
Sure, it's stereotyping, but at least it's funny stereotyping.
5. Amazing costars, who are also in on the joke:
Tina Fey has a plethora of hysterical famous friends, so chances are high for this. But really, if Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt could just get Oprah...
6: Kenneth:
Just, Kenneth.
7. Night cheese:
Judging from the trailer, it seems like ol' Kimmy could really get into working on her night cheese.
8. Jenna's outrageous confidence:
Jane Krakowski is SO GOOD when she's lifting herself up while simultaneously destroying others.
9. Imaginary boyfriends:
After a trauma as big as being rescued from a fake apocalypse shelter, Kimmy could use the company of Astronaut Mike Dexter.
10. Drinking:
Booze. So much booze.
