Chris Brown's Name Has Apparently Been Edited Out of a 30 Rock Episode

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.

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.

Lemon’s impression of Ne-Yo (or was it Chris Brown?

I’m old and I don’t get a baby When the girl says, “And they don’t even know who Ne-Yo is.”

Maybe chalk it up to the Mandela Effect, but this seems to be a genuine distribution quirk.

We’ve reached out to Hulu, Netflix, and NBC for comment, and will update this post if we hear back. »
