3
4[[folder:Season 1]]
5* "Pilot:"
6** Rory gets her first in the pilot, when Lorelai confronts the guy whom she turned down and later found hitting on Rory.
7---> '''Lorelai:''' Hi. I see you've met my daughter.\
8'''Rory:''' Are you my new daddy?
9** The look on the guy's face and the way he cannot leave the diner fast enough when Lorelai informs him Rory's 16.
10** When Sookie was celebrating Rory getting into Chilton, and starts a fire. Just the chef coming over and nonchalantly puts a lid over it to stop it. Clearly showing this is a regular thing.
11** When Lorelai finds out Rory has been accepted at Chilton, she makes a joke that she offered to sleep with the headmaster but didn't have to. Rory walks in a few minutes later, and [[BrickJoke uncomfortably asks Lorelai if she slept with the headmaster]] when she's informed she got in.
12* "Forgiveness and Stuff:" Lorelai's been uninvited to Christmas dinner and is moping about it.
13-->'''Rory''': I think you're acting a little immature.\
14'''Lorelai''': I'm not acting.
15* "That Damn Donna Reed:"
16** Rory dresses up as, and acts like, a stereotypical housewife as a way of teaching Dean a lesson (she thinks he was acting a little sexist). When Lorelai sees her in that outfit, she's highly amused:
17--->'''Lorelai:''' Well, OK, you're 16. You have a whole house to yourself for the evening. I expect that you're going to have your boyfriend over. But what is with the apron?\
18'''Rory:''' [[ItsALongStory It's a long story]].\
19'''Lorelai:''' Did it involve a sharp blow to the head?\
20'''Rory:''' I gotta go check on Apricot.\
21'''Lorelai:''' Oh my God! I just saw the pearls.\
22'''Rory:''' I'm going in now.\
23'''Lorelai:''' You know what? I'm going inside too. 'Cause I have to write down all the ways I'm gonna torture you about that outfit.\
24'''Rory:''' Good night!\
25'''Lorelai:''' Could I just get a picture though? 'Cause visual aids would really help. Oh, oh! Oh the shoes! I am dying. Oh.
26** The beginning of the episode is also hysterical, with Loralai and Rory watching ''The Donna Reed Show'' and making glorious commentary on the [[SickeninglySweet sugary-sweet]] and sexist 1950's vibe they get from it.
27--->'''Loralai: (Watching Donna Reed, mockingly)''' You now daughter, there's nothing I find more satisfying than washing windows. Oh no, I just had an impure thought about your father, Alex. Funny, I don't know why I had it. It's not the second Saturday of the month.
28* "The Third Lorelai:" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qmBaBLXNbI "STOP TALKING TO THE DOGS!"]]
29* "Love, Daisies, and Troubadours:" [[http://youtu.be/0t8BrIUd6yk Lorelai wakes up to Luke fixing her porch rail.]]
30[[/folder]]
31
32[[folder:Season 2]]
33* "Road Trip to Harvard:" Lorelai and Rory visit a SickeninglySweet hotel. Lorelai finds the guest book and writes: "Satanic forces are at work here."
34* "Nick and Nora/Syd and Nancy:"
35** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7zsNFE0C2I Luke pushes Jess into a lake without flinching.]]
36** The fact that after this, that bridge becomes Jess's go-to spot in town when he needs to think.
37* "Presenting Lorelai Gilmore:"
38** Luke does not approve of Jess's choice of work clothes: a worn Metallica T-shirt.
39--->'''Luke:''' Go upstairs and change your shirt.\
40'''Jess:''' I like this shirt.\
41'''Luke:''' How can you like that shirt?\
42'''Jess:''' It brings out my eyes.
43** Later, Jess decides to troll Luke by following his rule about wearing proper work attire...[[BotheringByTheBook by dressing exactly like Luke, down to the flannel shirt and backwards baseball cap.]]
44--->'''Luke:''' What is this?\
45'''Jess:''' I'm sorry, I thought this was the uniform.
46* "The Ins and Outs of Inns:" Jess's prank on Doose's Market by putting up crime scene tape and chalk outline. It gets the whole town into a tizzy and Rory's real opinion is that it was ActuallyPrettyFunny.
47* "The Bracebridge Dinner:"
48** At the Bracebridge dinner, Dean comments to Rory that he think Jess is a jerk. They turn to see Jess standing in the foyer talking to Luke and Lorelai and when the three of them make eye contact, Jess simply waves hello at them with a semi-innocent look on his face, making Dean seethe with irritation.
49** Jackson as the Bracebridge squire.
50** Sookie forgot what salt was.
51** Luke and Jess looking like they already regret the decision to come after Lorelai announcing there would be sleigh rides.
52--->'''Luke''': You gonna go?\
53'''Jess''': Think I'll wait for the clog dancing.
54** Especially just before dinner, with Luke being torn between his duty to scold Jess for his rudeness, and completely agreeing with him.
55--->'''Jess''': We should have eaten before we came.\
56'''Luke''': Shh! And yeah.
57** Mrs. Kim vs the world.
58--->'''Mrs. Kim''': No one says grace?\
59'''Lane''': [[BlatantLies I think they all do, Mama. Um. Silently.]]\
60'''Mrs. Kim''' [turning to Babette]: Did you say silent grace?\
61'''Babette''': AHAHA! Good one!\
62''[Mrs. Kim shoots her a DeathGlare.]''\
63''[Babette sheepishly puts down her wine glass and starts saying silent grace, also elbowing Morey to do so too.]''
64* "Richard in Stars Hollow:"
65** Rory makes a suggestion in the local video store that a movie with a mature cover be placed on a higher shelf, since the one it's on is in the line of sight of children in the store. The town then decides to do this with ''all'' videos deemed inappropriate for children, but to an illogical extreme. ''Babe,'' for instance, is banned so as not to offend people who keep kosher. In the end, the only two films not behind a special curtain are ''Dumbo'' and ''Bambie.''
66** They thank her by putting a gigantic picture of her in the window of the rental store. Rory is now the new face of censorship. As an aspiring journalist, she is horrified.
67** Jess gets revenge on her behalf by making sure "whoever rented Dumbo or Bambi gets a little surprise." He does not elaborate.
68** Paris visits [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKPMaOVe6QM the diner]] and Jess can't resist trolling Luke.
69--->'''Jess''': Wow, I think she got you, Uncle Luke. You better give up now.\
70'''Luke''': Do not add to this insanity!\
71'''Jess''': ''[gleefully grinning]'' An innocent boy like me should not be raised in an atmosphere like this!\
72'''Luke''': Jess!\
73'''Jess''': I want to be good, but life's just not letting me.\
74'''Luke''': Rory, get her out of here!
75* "Dead Uncles and Vegetables:"
76** Lorelai is absolutely [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAzodpi5zPo baffled by]] Emily calling and leaving constant messages on her machine, one right after the other.
77--->'''Lorelai''': ''[runs back up the stairs with her hands over her ears]'' Ugh, an earless world, what a dream!
78** The episode has a RunningGag of Jess shirking work, Rory tracking him down, and physically dragging him back to the diner to help an overwhelmed Luke.
79--->''[Jess tumbles down the stairs into the diner, Rory behind him]''\
80'''Lorelai:''' Well, you’re very graceful.\
81'''Jess:''' She pushed me. \
82'''Rory:''' Sue me.\
83'''Jess:''' I could have broken my neck!\
84'''Rory:''' As long as it’s not your arm. We need your arm.\
85'''Jess:''' Despot.
86* "Teach Me Tonight:"
87** The short movie Kirk made.
88** "You're studying. I'm prying into your personal life."
89** Jess offers to help Rory prepare to be an overseas correspondent by having her stand in the middle of the road while he drives straight toward her screaming in a foreign language.
90* "I Can't Get Started:" Lorelai comes up with a phrase of InherentlyFunnyWords. "Oy with the poodles already!"
91
92[[/folder]]
93
94[[folder:Season 3]]
95* "One's Got Class and the Other One Dyes:"
96** When Lane decides to dye her hair, with Rory's help, and the bleach starts burning her scalp. They're panicking, the burning's getting worse, and the label is no help.
97--->'''Lane''': ''What do I do?''\
98'''Rory''': Run around the block!\
99'''Lane''': Why?!\
100'''Rory''': I don't know!\
101'''Lane''': Good enough for me! (Takes off running)
102** There's also this exchange.
103--->'''Rory''': Oh! A girl told me once that if your scalp is hurting from bleach, drink a 7-Up! It's something to do with the bubbles.\
104'''Lane''': The Kim household does not have soft drinks!\
105'''Rory''': Well, what do you have?\
106'''Lane''': Something called salad water imported from Korea. Trust me, it's ''nothing'' like 7-Up!
107* "Take the Deviled Eggs:"
108** A reverend and a rabbi make fun of Taylor in Luke's Diner.
109--->'''Taylor:''' I'm not afraid of your [[GratuitousYiddish bubbes]], Rabbi.\
110'''Reverend:''' Oh, God, thank you for letting me be in the room when Taylor said that.
111** Rory and Lorelai devil-egging Jess's car.
112---> '''Jess:''' Someone ''prepared'' eggs to throw at my car? \
113'''Luke:''' Yep, that's paprika.
114* "They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?:"
115** Jess sneaks into the dance marathon and attempts to grab a snack from the concession stand...except it's operated by Lane and Mrs. Kim.
116--->'''Mrs. Kim''': Who are you??\
117'''Jess''': Jess. [{{Beat}}] [[LastSecondTermOfRespect Ma'am.]]
118** Rory's annoyed to see him there, and lets him know. Which, of course, he gives right back. Overall, it's pretty immature, but he gets in a couple zinger lines, like this one after a NoYou about staring at each other while she's dancing with Dean.
119--->'''Rory:''' I’m not staring at you.\
120'''Jess:''' Then how do you know I’m staring at you?\
121'''Rory:''' I am dancing. I cannot control where my glance goes. And the few moments that I can control it, my glance goes to Dean, not to you.\
122'''Jess:''' So you can’t control when you look at me, but you have to force yourself to look at him? ''(to Dean)'' Sorry, man. That’s cold.
123* "Let the Games Begin:"
124** Jess and Rory are now awkward around each other following their RelationshipUpgrade, leading to a conversation comprising of nothing but the word "hi" between Luke, Jess, Rory, and Lorelai, much to Luke's bewilderment.
125** Jess walks down from the apartment above the diner to find Rory there, and goes full deer in the headlights.
126** Luke promises Lorelai he is absolutely on top of this new relationship between Jess and Rory, and he will not be leaving them alone together. Lorelai then informs him they just took off to be alone together with thinly-veiled excuses about car parts and homework and Luke FailedASpotCheck.
127* "A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving:"
128** Luke suggests they give thanks before eating, and when asked what they should give thanks for, he suggests that they're [[BlackComedy "not Native Americans who got their land stolen in exchange for smallpox-infested blankets."]]
129** Kirk getting a cat and having new and worse-looking scratches every time he meets up with Lorelai, explaining how the cat (which he also named Kirk) will attack him if he doesn't "announce his presence before entering a room." Later he explains filling his tub with water and hiding underwater to hide from Cat Kirk but "he still found me", and by the end of the episode he's sleeping outside on a park bench.
130** Poor Sookie has a meltdown when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE95jwN6Bfo Jackson]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO32H9o-DQ4 deep fries the turkey.]]
131--->'''Sookie''': Am I crying or laughing?
132* "Dear Emily and Richard:"
133** In the flashback to Lorelai's pregnancy where she goes into labor, her first now-the-baby-wants-out contraction produces a tiny little "ow".
134** Lorelai asks if she can hit, bite, or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking epilate]] the nurse while she's in labor.
135** Emily lectures Lorelai as she's being wheeled into the delivery room about the impropriety of informing her parents she's in labor by leaving a note. She tells Lorelai she'll continue the lecture after the baby is born.
136** Lorelai opens a door, stares at Sookie and says nothing. Sookie gives an exasperated sigh and [[FlippingTheTable flips]] a huge golfball cake straight into a trash can.[[note]] They were catering for a man who had changed his mind on several retirement-party themes already[[/note]]
137** After Luke comes back to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYTwGFp4ei4 the diner]] after a date with Nicole, Jess attempts to make himself scarce to give them some extra time together. Luke being Luke, doesn't get it until he drags Jess outside. Kirk and Nicole watch them argue outside the diner with Kirk providing this perfect summation:
138--->'''Kirk''': They have amazing communication.
139* "A Tale of Poes and Fire:"
140** Lorelai informs Luke that Rory got into three Ivy League universities and he is so happy for her, he hugs her. Or tries to. [[TheUnHug It's awkward.]]
141** Luke allowing Lorelai to stay at his place is very sweet. Shame she can't stay the whole night, due to Luke and Jess snoring ''very loudly''. She mentions it offhand to Rory the next morning, who determines that was TooMuchInformation.
142* "Swan Song:"
143** Jess's black eye and his story about attacked by a swan. Luke doesn't believe him but humors him when they row out to the lake and try to attack the swan with a ladle.
144--->'''Jess:'''"I'm telling you, [the swan] is vicious."\
145'''Luke:''' "Yeah, his butt's terrifying."
146** The funny thing is he's right -- swans ''are'' pretty vicious.
147* "Say Goodnight, Gracie:" Lorelai finding out that Rory was the cause of the fight at a WildTeenParty. She starts singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings".
148* "Here Comes the Son:"
149** Luke appearing in front of Lorelai's kitchen window and miming something. Lorelai's reaction sells it.
150** In the same episode, Lorelai is driving Rory home from her parents'. She sees Luke in front of his diner, sweeping. And as soon as Luke sees her, he bolts indoors.
151[[/folder]]
152
153[[folder:Season 4]]
154* "Ballrooms and Biscotti:" [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Luke's]] FreakOut [[BerserkButton when he discovers Taylor put in a window]] [[HilarityEnsues connecting the soda shoppe to his diner]]
155* "The Fundamental Things Apply:" Emily sneaking up on Lorelai while she dances and lip-syncs to Andy Gibb's "Shadow Dancing" in her Jeep.
156** Lorelai attempts to garden. All of it, but especially:
157--->'''Babette:''' Just you wait until spring. You're gonna wake up one morning, walk out and POW! Color coming out of your ying-yang! I'll see you girls later.\
158'''Lorelai (to Rory):''' I'm going to have color coming out of my ying-yang. \
159'''Rory:''' Well, then, maybe you'll finally get a man. ''(Lorelai's jaw drops in mock offense)''
160* "In the Clamor and the Clangor:" The church pastor finding Luke and Lorelai breaking the church bells. His response? "Oh thank god...carry on."
161* "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels:"
162** Lorelai coming home to find an injured and very drunk Luke trying to fix her broken window.
163--->'''Lorelai''': Listen, why don't you hang out, rest for a little while here. I'll go get you a real bandage.\
164'''Luke''': (slurring) I like the Barbie ones!\
165'''Lorelai''': Yes, honey, but the other kids will beat you up if they see you with one of those.
166** In what precedes an otherwise serious moment, the third time Jess and Rory run into each other is hilarious. She's seen him twice around town, and he left to avoid confrontation. The third time, she childishly declares "My town! I leave!" and they end up chasing each other around the town square for a minute.
167-->'''Jess:''' I just wanna--where are you going?
168-->'''Rory:''' None of your business!
169-->'''Jess:''' We look like idiots.
170-->'''Rory:''' I don't care!
171-->'''Jess:''' Stop running!
172-->'''Rory:''' Stop following!
173** When she finally does stop to talk to him, whatever he was about to say is superseded by a breathless "When did you learn to run like that?"
174** The shocked look on Lorelai's face when [[spoiler:Floyd Stiles reveals that he knows she and Jason are dating]]
175* "The Incredible Sinking Lorelais:" "Oh, for God's sake, Jason, can you just be young?"
176* "The Reigning Lorelai:" In a meta-example, when Richard's mother passes away, [[YouLookFamiliar her very same actress plays Richard's cousin at the funeral]] ''later that episode!'' Make-up wise it's done so well you could hardly tell, but the voice should be a dead give away.
177* "Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' the Twist:"
178** A completely soaked Paris rushes in from the stormy outdoors to appraise a not very sharp girl who asked "Is it raining?" of how it is outside.
179--> '''Paris:''' [[AskAStupidQuestion No, it's National Baptism Day!]] Tie your tubes, idiot!
180** Paris kissing Rory at Spring Break to prove she's spontaneous.
181* "Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom!": [[SeinfeldianConversation "Where have all the anvils gone?"]]
182* "Afterboom:"
183-->'''Richard:''' Americans are so fat.\
184'''Lorelai:''' They prefer "rubenesque".
185* "Luke Can See Her Face:"
186** Luke's discomfort with being at the strip club for TJ's bachelor party leads TJ and his friends into a SeinfeldianConversation about how a lap is an illusion. Jess, who was also invited, sits in a corner reading a book.
187** Luke and Jess have a conversation about Jess's impromptu LoveConfession to Rory a few months prior, in which he told her he loved her and then left before she said anything.
188-->'''Luke:''' What, you just said it and walked away?
189-->'''Jess:''' No. I got in my car and left.
190-->'''Luke:''' You just dropped the bomb and ran?
191-->'''Jess:''' [[DistinctionWithoutADifference I drove!]]
192** Jess asserts that Rory clearly didn't feel the same way, because she never called him to talk about it. Luke points out that Jess changes his phone number weekly.
193** Later in the conversation, Luke tries to give Jess advice, clearly influenced by the self-help tapes he's been listening to. He tells Jess that he uses "love as a bargaining tool" and that he "doesn't nurture." Jess is perturbed.
194-->'''Jess:''' Where are you getting this junk?!
195-->'''Luke:''' Life. I've lived.
196-->'''Jess:''' In ''what,'' a Bette Midler movie?
197* "Last Week Fights, This Week Tights:"
198** The minstrel at Liz and TJ's wedding. It's a funny moment in-universe as well, Luke and Lorelai are clearly trying to think of ways not to laugh while Jess makes faces in an attempt to not crack.
199** Before that, Liz and her friends meet up at Luke's diner. A postal worker comes into the diner with a package for Liz. Jess, being completely aware of what's about to happen, hightails it out of there and gives a clueless Luke a "Have fun!!" look. Luke has no idea ("but there's no address on it!")...until the postal worker reveals that he's really a stripper and starts dancing for Liz.
200** TJ insists the tights he wore to the wedding should be called "air pants."
201** At the reception, Kirk invites guests onto the dance floor by announcing: "Liz and T.J. wouldst enjoy others to join them in their modest wriggles."
202* "Raincoats and Recipes:"
203** After going with Luke to his sister's wedding and sharing a dance, Luke asks Lorelai to a movie. Lorelai agrees, but starts to overanalyze the situation and freaks out over the possible change in her relationship with him. She decides to consult Rory, who did not attend the wedding and is therefore very confused.
204-->'''Lorelai:''' It was a slow dance. A waltz. Luke can waltz.
205-->'''Rory (confused):''' Luke can waltz?
206-->'''Lorelai (big grin):''' Luke can ''waltz!''
207-->'''Rory (disturbed):''' Look at how you just said 'Luke can waltz.'
208-->'''Lorelai:''' What? I'm just saying I'm surprised that Luke can waltz.
209-->'''Rory:''' That sounded more like 'I'm surprised I still have my clothes on.'
210** After discussing the possible ramifications of a relationship with Luke.
211-->'''Lorelai:''' Look, let's just go back in there and see if anything's weird.
212-->'''Rory:''' Okay. ''(They walk back into the diner.)''
213-->'''Luke:''' Is everything okay?
214-->'''Lorelai:''' Yes. ''(Collapses onto a nearby table, knocking everything to the floor.)''
215-->'''Luke (calmly):''' I'll get the broom.
216** Kirk's "night terrors".
217[[/folder]]
218
219[[folder:Season 5]]
220* "Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller:" Emily and Richard are having an argument, and Emily declares that she's going to take a vacation in Europe, sleep until ten o'clock, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking have two glasses of wine with lunch]].
221-->'''Richard:''' [[BerserkButton Only prostitutes have two glasses of wine at lunch!]]\
222'''Emily:''' Well, then, buy me a boa and drive me to Reno because I am open for business!
223* "Wedding Bell Blues:" Emily tries explaining her wedding day woes to Lorelai.
224--> '''Emily:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic When a woman gives birth to a crack baby, you do not buy her a puppy!]]\
225'''Lorelai:''' ''What'' does that even mean?
226** Lorelai goes looking for Rory so that they can get a photo of the wedding party. She walks in on Rory and Logan making out with a few items of clothing removed.
227--->'''Lorelai:''' ''[unimpressed]'' Grandma wants a picture.
228--->'''Rory:''' ''[horrified]'' Of this?!
229* "But Not as Cute as Pushkin:" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O57PZCdMqY ''Dammit Gilmore, give them back their balls!'']]
230* "Women of Questionable Morals:" Originally Lulu was supposed to play the prostitute in the historical re-enactment. She gets sick at the last minute and her boyfriend ''Kirk'' fills in for her. Taylor is less than amused.
231--> '''Kirk:''' We're not supposed to be arguing, Taylor! We're supposed to be making love!
232* "To Live and Let Diorama:"
233** Joseph the mute pioneer boy.
234** The diorama of a modern family at the Stars Hollow Historical Museum.
235--> '''Mother:''' I just love serving breakfast to my family!\
236'''Child:''' And I love Jesus!
237** Rory, Paris, and Lane get absolutely hammered with Miss Patty's punch and discuss their miserable love lives.
238-->'''Rory:''' Miss Patty’s leftover punch is used to remove tar from construction sites.
239-->'''Paris:''' Then let it remove the tar from our souls.
240[[/folder]]
241
242[[folder:Season 6]]
243* "The Perfect Dress:"
244** Rory's therapy session after she returns to Yale. Once the therapist brings up Logan, it all goes downhill from there...
245** By the end, Alexis Bledel was clearly "sobbing" into the tissues to hide the fact that she was [[{{Corpsing}} hysterically laughing]].
246** The ending of the scene in particular is funny:
247-->'''Rory:''' I stole a boat with [Logan]! I never stole a boat with Dean!\
248'''Dr. Shapiro:''' Who's Dean?\
249'''Rory:''' ''My married ex-boyfriend who I lost my virginity to''!\
250'''Dr. Shapiro:''' Wow.\
251'''Rory:''' Yeah, I'm a treat! I don't know what I'm gonna do, I don't think I can take running into him every day in the halls, and in the paper and the coffee cart... Oh my god! I'm gonna have to quit drinking coffee! And I love coffee! ''[sobbing]'' I really love coffee!
252* The Fight Montage in "Friday Night's All right for Fighting", especially the part where Emily and Lorelai [[CallBack have the exact same argument that they had in the pilot!]]
253-->'''Lorelai''': We were ''sixteen''! We didn't want to get married!\
254'''Emily''': When you get pregnant, you get married. A child needs a mother and a father!\
255'''Lorelai''': '''OH''', '''MY''' '''GOD'''!!!!
256* "The Real Paul Anka:" Luke visits Jess in Philly and Jess's reaction to April.
257-->'''Jess''': So my eyes don't deceive me.\
258'''Luke''': First thing's first. What the hell is that?\
259'''Jess''': It's an abstract painting.\
260'''Luke''': But what is it supposed to be?\
261'''Jess''': Check the title.\
262'''Luke''': I did. It's called "Untitled."\
263'''Jess''': There you go.\
264'''Luke''': I give up.\
265[...]\
266'''Jess''': Right, Liz filled me in on all that, ''daddy''.\
267'''Luke''': She just calls me Luke. Total brain.\
268'''Jess''': You confirm paternity?\
269'''Luke''': Don't be a wiseass.
270* "Driving Miss Gilmore:"
271** Sookie and Jackson figuring out how to deal with the 68 pounds of marijuana Jackson found illegally growing on one of his plots, even trying to hide it from the reverend, the rabbi, and the town troubadour.
272-->'''Sookie''': They were always listening to the Allman Brothers. We should never hire guys that listen to the Allman Brothers!\
273''[later, when Lorelai shows up at Sookie's door after having a fight with Luke]''\
274'''Lorelai''': What's that smell?\
275'''Sookie''': 68 pounds of marijuana.

280[[/folder]]
281
282!A Year in The Life
283* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGGNNSmGDpU official trailer]] for ''A Year in the Life'' has a few gems:
284** Friday Night Dinner has a guest: [[spoiler:Kirk.]]
285-->[[spoiler:'''Kirk''']]: ''[crunches]'' Mmm, delicious.\
286'''Emily''': Explain to me again who that person is?\
287'''Lorelai''': Oh, that I could.
288** Emily's way of coping with life without Richard: she commissions a massive portrait of him.
289-->'''Lorelai''': ''[in shock]'' Mom?\
290'''Emily''': Oh yes, isn't it wonderful?\
291'''Lorelai''': ''[frantically looking back and forth from the portrait to Rory]'' It's...\
292'''Rory''': The whole wall!
293** Rory and Jess share a drink.
294-->'''Rory''': I have no job, I have no credit, [[ItMakesSenseInContext I have no underwear!]]\
295'''Jess''': What?\
296'''Rory''': [[Film/OnTheWaterfront I could have been a contender]]!
297*** To make this scene even funnier, Rory makes some vague attempts at small talk before pulling out the booze and completely unloading in a near-nonsensical rant about her insecurities and the smell of failure. Jess takes this in stride. He also offers to lend her money to buy underwear, which Rory points out was not the point of her rant.
298** The town meetings, as usual, bring their trademark quirkiness.
299-->'''Taylor''': Wow, are we excited about this!\
300'''The town''': ''[almost sarcastically]'' Wow, are we excited about this!\

302** What's happened to Paul Anka in the years [[https://www.facebook.com/GilmoreGirls/videos/1461383690541619/ since the show?]] Woof!
303* A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTKD7JOMXHs second trailer]] for the revival has its moments:
304** The Gilmore girls have two preteen boys as their servants at the pool. Luke's not amused in the least.
305-->'''Boy''': Yes, milady.\
306'''Lorelai''': I taught him to call me that.\
307'''Luke''': You're shameless.
308** Rory tops it in the actual episode by having her servant call her [[Series/GameOfThrones Khaleesi.]]
309** Rory rummages through her luggage that she brought home.
310-->'''Lorelai''': You have no idea where your underwear is?\
311'''Rory''': I'm looking for my lucky outfit.\
312'''Lorelai''': Any outfit you wear without underwear is gonna be your lucky outfit.
313** Luke hangs a big lampshade on the show's dialogue.
314-->'''Luke''': I cannot believe the conversations I have in this room.
315** While Paris is freaking out in the bathroom at Chiltern, somebody tries to come in. Paris responds by kicking the door shut and then leaning her weight on her raised foot.
316** Babette points out the "30 Something Gang", a group of millennials who ended up back at home, to Rory at the town meeting; they wave back at her.
317* The entirety of "Stars Hollow: The Musical" from "Spring"
318** The fact it starts with a rather dark scene about the AwfulWeddedLife of a couple.. before abruptly transitioning into a cheery opening musical number.

320** The entirety of the love ballad which gets progressively worse as it goes, including revealing the couple singing it are siblings.

322-->'''Lorelai''': I'm freaking Nostradamus.
323** The musical seemingly ending, [[spoiler: only for the cast to come out and sing ABBA's ''Waterloo''. It was later revealed during the meeting after the cast sang not just that but '''8 OTHER ABBA SONGS.''']]
324** Taylor's creepy co-writer who puts everyone off. Rory sums it up best.
325-->'''Rory''': Give him a jagged sword and he could be a White Walker.
326** The fact that it ''[[CurseCutShort almost]]'' caused the entire GG's canon's only use of the word "fuck".

328** Lorelei being forced to rely on Kirk to get to Friday Night Dinner. Amenities include a container full of water and Kirk singing The Carpenters.
329** Kirk being stranded outside [[spoiler: And thus joining in on Friday Night Dinner, as noted above. He later asks to be excused when he notices the tension between the Gilmores ramping up, saying that Berta's family needs a sixth for their game of football and abruptly shows up back on screen shouting goal. ]]
330** Kirk later denying all knowledge of the venture, citing that if Uber's "Handsome Lawyers" issued a cease and desist and that it was his trouble making brother Dirk who ran it.
331* Kirk and Lulu now have a pet pig named Petal. Why? Because the entire town pitched in for her in order to [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne prevent the two from having a kid.]]

343'''Troubadour's Sister''': But I'm your sister!\
344'''Troubadour''': No proof of that!\

353** Sookie [[spoiler: baking about a dozen different cakes for Luke and Lorelai's wedding, including one with Luke's name on it. ]]

356'''Sookie''': Awwww, he hasn't changed at all.
357** Sookie sniffing out all the previous chefs who'd been in her kitchen. She's particularly livid over Rachael Ray's "sammies" and the possibility that Rachael rearranged her pantry.

359'''Lorelai''': Two years.\
360'''Sookie''': Whatever!
361** How did Lorelai and Sookie first meet? Sookie accidentally cut off her fingertip. Lorelai took her to the hospital with the fingertip in her brand-new purse. Of course, Sookie being Sookie, she repeated the incident several days later.
362** A startled Sookie accidentally squeezing out a frosting bag.
363-->'''Sookie''': Wow, that was pornographic.
364* The nonchalant reveal of [[spoiler: Mr.Kim.]]
365* The nuns selling a property [[spoiler: that Lorelai is considering buying to move the Dragonfly there so she can expand.]] Her competition? Music/KatyPerry.[[note]]In real life, she actually did get into a real estate tussle with a convent.[[/note]]
366-->'''Nun''': She dresses like a hooker, but she carries cash.
367** When asked if they'd rather keep the property with someone local:

377** Zack and Lane admitting ''Eraserhead'' was their makeout movie for a while.
378** Before the film Kirk airs [[CallBack another short film he made.]] It's every bit as delightful bizarre as the original.
379*** The opening shot turns out to have been at Lorelai's house, baffling Lorelai who has no memory of it. The next shot reveals this is because he shot it while she was distracted.
380*** The very alive Petal running into the frame in the scene when Kirk is carrying the "dead", obviously plush Petal to her funeral.

387* Francie and Paris reverting to their high-school selves in Chilton bathroom. Francie initially tries to remain an adult and points out that Paris is acting insane, but ends up leaving the bathroom with a catty remark how [[SeriousBusiness they're having the Puffs reunion next month... and Paris is not invited since she's never been Puffed!]]
388-->'''Paris:''' Screw you!\
389'''Francie:''' Eat me! ''(storms out)''
390* Doubling as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Taylor of all of people suddenly exploding into a very Luke-like rant, perfectly explaining to the customers of Luke's Diner that and why they're being given a fake wifi password, and then storming off, leaving Luke, the customers and the audience speechless. Luke being so moved that he follows him outside and signs a petition Taylor's been trying to get him to sign. And Taylor getting so seriously into the new friendship mode, that in another scene he bumps fists with Luke when he meets him.
391* Emily wearing jeans.

406'''Jess''': [[HypocriticalHumor Never experienced that myself.]]\
407[...]\
408'''Luke''': She's been going to a therapist. Do not say it was about time!\
409'''Jess''': I did not say it. I thought it, but that's just the way my mind works.
410* Luke requiring a dictionary, a thesaurus, and a book on natural philosophy just to decode a letter from April.
411** April has a full-blown panic attack when alone with Rory and admits to faking the whole pretentious hipster thing and apparently ate a lot of cheese after her time smoking pot.
412* Miss Celine bragging about flirting with Creator/EliWallach on the set of ''Film/BabyDoll''.

414* Lorelai thinks she was coffee in a former life.
