A Goon's Deed in a Weary World - S7-E11

Trivia: Kenneth and Jack compare giving a tour of the station to Willy Wonka. Later as Kenneth and track are actually giving the tour we see the guests, which all match characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One is overweight and has a German accent like Augustus Gloop, one woman is wearing a red dress reminiscent of Veruca Salt, one is wearing a bolo tie like Mike TeeVee, one is very similar to Violet Beauregard. And finally one is seemingly pure of heart and clean cut like Charlie Bucket.

The Beginning of the End - S7-E1

Trivia: Jack mentions that Jonathan was able to come back to 30 Rock because "the grass was not greener on the other side." This was a subtle shot at the show Weeds. The actor playing Jonathan (Maulik Pancholy) was on that show, which was about selling marijuana (grass). When Weeds was canceled, Pancholy came back to resume his role on 30 Rock.

Continuity mistake: In the episode "The Fighting Irish", Jack's brother and father appear. Jack says "I haven't seen my father in 17 years." But throughout the rest of the series, it is mentioned many times that Jack's father ran away when Jack was little.

Liz Lemon: I know who I am. I know I'm not the funnest person in the group. I'm not the one you call when you want to go clubbing on the town and party dance all night.
Jack: Why are you speaking like a Persian immigrant?

Show generally

Question: I'm trying to find out what episode Liz makes reference to a lower back tribal tattoo with a Chinese symbol in it. I've looked everywhere.

Answer: Maybe s02e14, "Sandwich Day"? Liz is talking to Floyd and asking if the girl who answered his phone has a lower back tattoo with a Chinese character that is suppose to mean "peace", but probably means "I have chlamydia." But nothing about it being a tribal tattoo.
