Earlier this month, 30 Rock made the move from Netflix to Hulu, forcing unnamed friends of mine to consider joining Hulu so they could rewatch the series for the seventh time. But the 30 Rock that appears on Hulu is different from the version which streamed on Netflix; as the Hollywood Reporter points out, one episode no longer includes a reference to dirtbag R&B singer Chris Brown.
Some background: During a season-three episode, “Goodbye, My Friend,” Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon stops by a 24-hour doughnut shop and meets a pregnant clerk, whose baby she immediately wants to adopt. The clerk (Phoebe Strole) tells Liz that some people she’s met through the adoption process are so lame that they “don’t even know who Chris Brown is,” and Liz apparently sings part of “With You” to prove her worth. But this is where things get murky (via THR):
However, THR noticed when the Emmy winning NBC comedy moved to Hulu, Becca no longer mentions Brown, and instead says “Ne-Yo” in the obviously re-edited cut. And when the camera cuts to Liz, only the muffled singing part of her retort is shown and it’s no longer clear that she’s meant to be singing “With You.”
