The funniest storyline of this episode has to do with the title of it, Brooklyn Without Limits. That is the name of a hipster clothing store outside of Manhattan where everyone's favorite Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) found what she believed to be the best jeans she's ever owned. As a plus, she buys into their supposed eco-friendly claims when she announces that "these jeans totally make up for all the time I took long showers because I was bored!"
After Liz finds out that this supposed local company is owned by Halliburton, she gets changed into overalls that probably had never seen the light of day since the 1990s. Jack Donaghy cracks a joke about them, but Liz feels better about herself because Jenna and Tracy inspired her.
While Liz was busy worrying about her jeans, Jack was encouraging Slattery's Steve Austin to make an appearance on TV so that it was known that their company Kabletown backs him up as a candidate. It was pretty funny to see his previous campaign videos, where his theme was all about the rebirth of America. He even went so far as to get baby rattles printed with his name on them.
Tracy Jordan had received news that important people from the Golden Globes were interested in coming to view his movie, Hard to Watch, based on the book "Stone Cold Bummer" by Manipulate. Jenna, the jealous actress, tried to get him to ruin his chances of winning their votes. Once the screening of the film was over, however, she felt truly sorry for what she was doing because she was moved by the message of the Precious knock-off.
Tracy ended up inspiring Liz when she visited Jenna and Tracy, and in turn, Liz brought her inspiring message to Jack. Overall, this was a good episode to have aired just days after Tina Fey herself had won the Mark Twain prize for American Humor. It is a very well-deserved award, and I hope there's many more years of Tina's writing and acting to look forward to!
