6
7	!!Tropes
8	* BlatantLies: Invoked. Lane accuses Rory of lying about liking sex, like she wasn't gonna find out it's awful.
9	* {{Bookworm}}: Rory has read a lot of Asia travel books. With highlighters and page flags.
10	* CallBack:
11	** For all the times Luke has given Kirk practical advice, Kirk tells Luke he can only give him a job because he's more of a "teach a man to fish" kind of guy.
12	** Lane says her mother was right to say that sex sucks, and admires her for being the only woman brave enough to admit it.
13	* CaptainObvious: Luke explains to T.J. that he's about to fix the giant hole in his wall.
14	* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
15	** Kirk thinks Chuck E. Cheese is a real person, but not that a giant mouse could open a chain of restaurants by itself.
16	** Sookie had hoped that instead of telling Luke she slept with Christopher, Lorelai told Kirk the difference between antiperspirant and deodorant.
17	* ConspiracyTheory: Lane figures the narrative about sex being pleasant is just really good advertising.
18	* ContinuityNod:
19	** Lorelai asks herself W.W.T.B.F.C.D? -- what would the barefoot contessa do? In season three, she claimed that the Barefoot Contessa talked to her through the screen once.
20	** Luke claims he doesn't care that they're broken up, since Lorelai's the one who proposed anyway. Which she did, in the fifth season finale, and he caught a lot of disappointed "oh"s for it in the sixth season premier.
21	* EmbarrassingNickname: Lorelai nicknames Rory "loin fruit" for the morning.
22	* FeminineWomenCanCook:
23	** Suddenly Lorelai can make waffles.
24	** Averted as usual with Liz, who can't tell her oven is broken and not cooking the tunaloaf she put in it for hours.
25	* GrammarNazi: You can't shorten "what would the barefoot contessa do?" to "W.W.T.B.F.C.D?", because as Rory points out, "barefoot" is one word.
26	* HiddenDepths: Liz and T.J. know a lot about quantum physics.
27	* HypocriticalHumor: Lane tells Rory that she and Zach had sex on the beach "until some pervert in a diving mask showed up".
28	* {{Malaproper}}: Liz claims that invention is the mother of necessity.
29	* NoTrueScotsman: Lorelai claims that real grown-ups don't call themselves grown-ups; they call themselves adults, and they pronounce it ah-dults.
30	* ProductPlacement: Chuck E. Cheese. Pedro's Paradise.
31	* SelfDeprecation: Zach tells Rory that he learned something about himself on his honeymoon in Mexico: namely, that he is not moreally opposed to murder, he's just too cowardly to do it.

38	** Renting an Film/AnAffairToRemember is [[Recap/GilmoreGirlsS01E17 an acceptable way to deal with a breakup]] as far as Rory is concerned.

47	** Liz thinks Luke and Lorelai are like Creator/KeanuReeves and Creator/SandraBullock in ''The Lake House'', but T.J. thinks they're more like Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in Film/{{Speed}}.

58	* WhatTheHellHero: Rory finds out Lorelai slept with Christopher, and figures it had to be sometime in the three days since she and Luke broke up. It pisses her off.
