History YMMV / Entourage

----
!! The Series

--> '''Mrs. Gold:''' ''(reading off a tabloid)'' After a staff meeting, Ari threw a stapler at the wall and screamed at a fellow agent that he needed to climb back inside his mother's vagina and cook a little longer.
--> '''Ari:''' [[NotHelpingYourCase That's pretty funny]].

--> '''Ari''': They gave ''Series/{{Joey}}'' two seasons, NBC don't cancel shit.

*** This also means that in the ''Entourage'' universe, the DC movie universe ''Aquaman'' would be another film franchise getting a reboot in the [=2010s=]. And when one considers ''Aquaman'''s use as an Expy for the ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' film that James Cameron almost directed, it's rather fitting considering that the Spider-Man films have been [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan rebooted]] [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse twice]].

* ValuesDissonance:
** The show received a ''lot'' of flack for its depiction of and treatment of women, even during its tenure. At the time, the show was given somewhat of a pass under the guise of "boys will be boys". Nowadays, it's all but ''certain'' that Vince's career (and the careers of his three friends) would be over in the era of [=#MeToo=]. On the other hand, it could be seen as a rather satirical reflection of the real Hollywood's well-documented history of objectifying women and men never facing any major consequences.
** Ari in general. Who if he tried his shtick of blatant and rampant sexism, homophobia and general abuse of employees in the 2010s-2020s, he'd be blacklisted from the industry in a week's time at best.

* AwesomeMusic: The series ends with Led Zeppelin's "Going to California," underscoring the bittersweet tone and foreshadowing Ari's final move after his call in TheStinger.

On the other hand, it could be seen as a rather satirical reflection of the real Hollywood's long-standing history of objectifying women without big name stars or execs ever having to face any consequences.

** After Ari's abusive nature is exposed in Season 7, Creator/JeffreyTambor swings by to offer support, stating that he's "No stranger to scandal". Ari comically asks "Oh really? What scandal?", leading Tambor to stammer about "Oh there was an incident on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''. No reason you would have ever heard of it". The gag is supposed to be that Tambor is a boring goody two-shoes who would never be near scandal. Many years later, Tambor's career would be destroyed by multiple accusations of sexual misconduct, and would be infamously accused of repeatedly screaming at his Series/{{Arrested Development}} co-star Creator/JessicaWalter (with the abuse so bad that Walter broke down into tears just remembering it, and the ''Arrested Development'' cast going into civil war). Suddenly, the show feels like it was grimly predicting Tambor's downfall for comedy.

** In the movie, Vince dates a former girlfriend of Creator/ArmieHammer, prompting Hammer to briefly confront Vince and threaten to "sneak up behind and snatch the life" out of him if Vince doesn't stay away. Many years later, Hammer would be rocked by numerous accusations of being violently possessive of various girlfriends, to the point of carving his own initials into them. Retroactively, Hammer threatening to kill Vince for even being with a former girlfriend, as well as the clear sense of ownership he feels over a woman even after they stop dating, now feels deeply disturbing.

** Creator/{{Aaron Sorkin}} makes a memorable cameo in Season Six where, in a desperate effort to sign him, it's suggested that Sorkin move into directing. Sorkin immediately brushes this off, flatly stating "I don't wanna direct. I'm a writer. I like writing. I could have directed hears ago if I wanted to". Nearly a decade after this episode aired, Sorkin would indeed move into directing with Film/{{Mollys Game}}. Additonally, Sorkin appeared to enjoy directing a movie so much that he's transitioned into that frontier. So maybe Entourage convinced him? (But probably not)

* FoeYay:
** Ari's admonitions of pretty much ''everyone'' usually involve something sexual.
--> '''Ari:''' That was a great speech, Lloyd. Yeah, if I was 25 and liked cock, we could be something.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "I Love You Too" shows just how different Hollywood and pop culture were in the 2000s. Vince and the gang attend the San Diego Comic Con so Vince can promote ''Aquaman'' and Drama can do a panel for ''Viking Quest''. The episode clearly takes place during a time when comic books and sci-fi were still seen as niche genres by Hollywood and Vince's crew was reluctant to go because the event was strictly for geeks. Nowadays, the genres are the biggest money makers and Comic Con, which has expanded to includes all kinds of pop culture, is one of the film industry's biggest yearly events.
