I Want To Go To There: “30 Rock – A XXX Parody”

As devoted fans of both "30 Rock" and the pornographic arts, we were rather excited for the release of "30 Rock - A XXX Parody." Well, excited and scared. We've witnessed enough parody disasters to know what could go wrong.

"30 Rock - A XXX Parody" is not an unparalleled success, but it's not a disaster, either: in the spectrum of porno parodies, it falls squarely in the middle. There's a lot that's good about the release, but there are also several areas in which in falls flat—and though it certainly gets the vibe of the show, one doesn't come to the, ahem, climax feeling as those we've just watched an episode of "30 Rock"—but with sex!

First and foremost, the release packs a serious punch with some all-star sex scenes. Really, who among you would turn down the opportunity to watch Lisa Ann take on James Deen? Or—bless our souls—Erik Everhard teaming up with Rebeca Linares and Lana Violet...at the same time? Or Ashlynn Brooke doing anything? The sheer quality of performers included in this release is a wonder to behold—but really, that's only to be expected.

Secondly, the plot—and set ups—are reasonably "30 Rock"-esque. Seeking to improve ratings on "The Chic Show," Jake decides the sketches need to be sexed up (an idea inspired by sex with his girlfriend Alicia). Frustrated by Trey's limelight-hogging, Jenny tries to convince writer Fred to feature her in a really good sketch (and by convince, we mean seduce). Peter fantasizes about the scantily-clad Cherry. Liz falls, once more, for her loser ex-boyfriend's charms. And Ken—well, we'll get to that in a second.

The humor is also reasonably "30 Rock"-esque. Though he's no Tracy Morgan (uh, who is?), Bishop turns in a good performance as Trey, with more than a few jokes that made us laugh. (Want an idea of what we're talking about? A good deal of the jokes make it into the trailer—so if that's all you want, check that out on the feature's website.)

And, of course, we have to give New Sensations props for incorporating secondary characters (especially Alicia/Elisa) into the plot, rather than simply inventing women to fill in the plans. Well, except for in Ken's sex scene...but we'll get to that in a second.

So, yes: Ken's sex scene, which caps off the release, was probably our biggest disappointment—at least in terms of the porno actually bearing some resemblance to "30 Rock," the show. Without going into too much detail, Ken's sex scene is a dream sequence, once in which Ken fantasizes that he's actually Erik Everhard banging two girls named Stephanie and Nancy. Now, there's nothing wrong with watching Mr. Everhard do what he does best, but he's no Kenneth Parcell.

Why'd New Sensations decide to take that tack? Simple, really: Paul Woodcrest, the performer playing Ken, is actually an adult director—and though he was more than happy to lend his boyish charm to the character of Ken, he wasn't quite ready to make his debut as a porn performer. The same goes for Bishop (hence the lack of any "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" fantasy sex scene—you know they were totally thinking about it).

At the end of it all, we found ourselves questioning whether one could make a "30 Rock" porn that really, really worked. After all, the things that make "30 Rock" really work are counter to the things that make a porno really work: part of the fun of "30 Rock" is the running joke that—somehow, in spite of herself—Liz never gets laid. Does seeing Lisa Ann's Liz Limon getting done hard take away from that?

We'll have to get back to you on that one. Right after we finish watching Erik Everhard giving it to these two chicks.
