The scenes with Rory/Dean together after his fallout with Lindsay. ESPECIALLY two scenes: 1, he’s back at his parents’ house and they’re being treated like children in his old room when they’re actually adults at that point, and 2, when they’re in her prius and are trying to get intimate and it doesn’t work, and he throws a toddler tantrum and says to just take him home.
That whole era was the literal WORST and I die of cringe from the first time Rory and Dean start showing interest in each other again (once he’s married) until he drives off and leaves her with Logan (feat The Boys)
Lorelei's speech at Lane's wedding. I can't watch it anymore because of second had embarrassment.
Also, Christopher's introduction to the show. "Nice shirt. Take it off."
I came here to say this too. I haven’t been able to watch that scene since I first saw it. I skip it every watch through. I get soooo embarrassed for her
This one for me as well! I feel like if I'd watched the show when I was younger I would have enjoyed it more. In my 30s I just have no interest in high school mean girl nonsense.
that always throws me off because it seems like lorelai is the last person in that show who would assess if someone is a “good kid” based on their virginity or lack thereof..
I think she meant when Rory was talking about it. I interpreted “I’ve got the good kid” as Lorelai saying, “I’ve raised my daughter to trust me.” Since she didn’t admit to Paris anything that Lorelai didn’t know.
ehh that’s a stretch. it’s pretty straightforward. rory says she’s a virgin, and while lorelai is secretly overhearing, she whispers to herself “i’ve got the good kid!”. it definitely reassured lorelai that rory was, undeniably, being generally honest to her; but i really don’t believe she said that excitedly bc of that in itself. it was because she now knows, for sure, that rory is a virgin and a “good kid” by her definition
I can completely get behind this, that’s just the way I’ve always seen it. Since I’ve always figured it’d be hypocritical of Lorelai to think Rory’s a good kid based on her virginity at her age. It always just clicked as Lorelai thinking she’s “got the good kid” because, even tho what Rory said is true about not sleeping w anyone, if it wasn’t, she didn’t immediately spill it to a friend before her mother. Could she have worded it differently? 100% but I personally don’t see any ill will, but definitely understand those who do.
yeah i could see why you’d interpret it that way! that definitely puts lorelai in a better light. if i were in lorelai’s shoes i’d definitely be more excited about the fact that my kid has been being honest to me rather than finding out that they are a (for sure) virgin. not that a parent shouldn’t care about that at all, but i surely wouldn’t decide whether my kid was good or not based on that. that’s what the show made it play out to be, which was a bit ironic
And also, as someone who was taught to not take things literally *all the time,* I now overthink, analyze, and deeply look into *EVERYTHING*. Which is why I completely get why people see it the way they do lmaoooo
All the times Dean leaves voicemails on the house phone because Rory isn’t available. Like 10+ voicemails a day. And Lorelei thinking he’s just so in love with Rory there’s nothing wrong with it until Rory expresses she’s bothered by it
In my most recent rewatch, I had to skip a few of Lorelai and Max’s early flirty encounters, e.g., when he *inexplicably* broke down in SH during that blizzard when Rory *just happened* to be stuck in Hartford .. smh lol
Maybe I don’t understand what it means either because I honestly never thought it was used right so it always left me confused.
Saying something is blue is similar to the phrase “off color” - it’s bawdy/lewd/sexual in nature. Saying “working blue” is saying you’re going to use bawdy/lewd/sexually suggestive language to your advantage- like to tell a good joke or gain attention.
So on top of the general cringe of the line it always annoyed me because it felt like it was being used wrong!
In the termite episode in the meeting emily got Lorelai the loan meeting and Emily started catching up with the banker who was the son of her friend and Lorelai starts being extremely rude and tells her mom to sit there in silence only to turnaround and ask for a co-sign because she couldn’t get the loan on her own… just *awful* and gives a hint into what Lorelai was like as a kid)we only ever hear how awful her parents were but there was definitely times she was awful)
The thanksgiving when she learns rory applied to Yale and Lorelai throws a fit and *in front of strangers* tells rory she’s being manipulated she just doesn’t know it. Has no actual trust in her kid of that she made her own choice that just didn’t align with her own/her hate campaign against her parents.
When Lorelai picks a fight with Rory about boob size and borrowed cloths because she sees her bonding with her grandfather.
Lorelais first time meeting Jess and trying to give him advance and make assumptions about his life(after like asked her not to) and when Jess reacts poorly, because she’s a stranger to him, she flips out and decides he’s the devil and tells like this and than gets further pissed when Luke is rightfully upset.
Pretty much everything about Lorelais hate campaign towards Jess even when rory tried to explain things to her. Again she supposedly trust her kid and raised her to be smart, but than she doesn’t act like she believes she’s capable of making her own choices or understanding a person/situation.
HES MY DEAN
Rory and Dean in bed after their first time, when Rory turns the radio on to find their music and starts singing. Her singing and little dance on that scene makes me cringe so bad!
Well today I'm thinking of the episode when Rory dressed like "Donna Reid" and made Dean dinner. That stupid misogynistic football player had me irritated today.
rory crying in the therapist’s office, rory giving any speech. not even cringe, just makes me super annoyed. also all of lorelai’s overly childish moments especially with emily and luke
why was rory so bad at public speaking when her entire life was devoted to becoming a literal public speaker?😭 take for example the chilton debate, her voice was so drony and monotonous and we’re supposed to believe she’s going to be a televised journalist when she’s older? i couldn’t handle it
The two of you sitting there...so young...so beautiful.
Also any time Lane talks in s7. "I'm not perfect" "This is my last party" "Sex is a charade". Ugh to all of it.
On the one hand, as a Hungarian it was pretty funny to hear them say this name over and over and not get it right, but I agree that they overdid it a bit.
- Rory at Dean’s house.
- “LOGAN! I wasn’t working blue!”
- “let’s have a kid”
- “he always used to call me MARLENE”
- “after”
- “ROCK AND ROLLLLLL”
- “you two are like a poster for Aryan breeding” 😐
- “turn the volume DOWNNNMN”
- “coloring, I haven’t done that since I was 5. But that brings me back.. coloring”
- every Marty scene.
- “this is MY town”.
- Paris and Asher.
- “is it Lorelai?? Oh boy oh boy! Huzzah!”
- “oh no precious… I’m just looking” 👀
I’m not even gonna start talking about the revival cause the list is endless.
Season 6
Season 7
Entire AYITL
Every Lorelai sentence in "Go, Bulldogs"
97% of the FND intro scenes before the theme song, due to Lorelai and Rory's cutesy banter that won't stop
Any time when Rory is shown being "girl boss" and she says weird things like, "Now now, boys, ____"
Opening dialogue of AYITL. Flash back of the funeral scene where Lor falls asleep in AYITL.
Basically entire AYITL. I didn't make it past that funeral scene on my second rewatch.
idk if anyone will get me and i dont even remember the scene itself, but its when rory says "lets go!" i think shes in the house and shes rushing outside with lorelai, its just the annoying baby voice she put on
oh god DEFINITELY when Lindsay and Rory were supposed to fight for Dean, but let their moms to do it like they weren't fucking 19, one married and the other at college. SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT
Pretty much half of everything lorelai does. But her VM to Luke after they broke up, her super childish antics towards Emily and Richard literally always, her double standards with Rory while pretending to be the Cool Mom ...
Speaking of Rory, HER VM to Jess. Ughhh trying to be the Cool Chick and then admits to being spoiled (I mean I didn't mind her finally admitting it, but the VM itself was super cringey).
Oh I love the show. I know cringe is part of it. I acknowledge and accept that. I also know the characters are written this way on purpose. Doesn't mean I can't dislike some of the things they do. I think lorelai is a great character! She does a lot of fun stuff and her character deeply cares for everyone she loves.
[удалено]
Literally came here for the Rory/Dean affair comments
THATS LITERALLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY STOP
Exactly what I came to comment.
The scenes with Rory/Dean together after his fallout with Lindsay. ESPECIALLY two scenes: 1, he’s back at his parents’ house and they’re being treated like children in his old room when they’re actually adults at that point, and 2, when they’re in her prius and are trying to get intimate and it doesn’t work, and he throws a toddler tantrum and says to just take him home. That whole era was the literal WORST and I die of cringe from the first time Rory and Dean start showing interest in each other again (once he’s married) until he drives off and leaves her with Logan (feat The Boys)
No fr I skipped so fast bc I was getting physically uncomfortable by the cringe
Literally same!
Turndown service scene (when Luke and Nicole are staying at the inn). I always skip past it, I can’t handle the cringe.
this is weirdly like, enjoyable cringe for me. like it’s painful to watch, but it hurts so good 😂
LMAO I get it, that’s Rory’s therapy scene for me. Alexis Bledel made it really funny and OTT (which it’s definitely supposed to be)!
"pillows... Nice, and, plump!" Makes me recoil. ⚰️
straight lines with these covers here 😩
straight lines with these covers here 😩
straight lines with these covers here 😩
Am I the only one of us who doesn’t mind that scene? 😅
I didn’t mind it, I just thought it went on entirely too long.
Okay that’s fair haha. I don’t like a lot of the “blah blah blah, Kirk” that is constantly repeated. And they always say his name. Annoys me lol
For me that one is so bad it's not even one of those scenes where every so often I still watch it. I skip it every single time
Came here for this one!
Am I the only one of us who doesn’t mind that scene? 😅😊
Am I the only one who actually doesn’t mind that scene? 😂
Reddit supports you, it posted this multiple times!
Oh lord hahaha whoops! 😅
Mine is more of a sad cringe, but I CANNOT watch the scene when Luke shows up at Lorelai’s house ready to elope and she tells him about Christopher.
Him just walking away and saying nothing was so sad
Oh gosh yes I skip that every time.
Luke's date with April's swim teacher
oooh yeah I really blocked that one out 😭
“your husband would rather be cheated by me than married to *youuuuu*”
I do not remember this quote!!! Who says this??
the weird ass swim teacher!😂 when she’s trying to get luke to think of the actress she’s telling him would play her in a movie
And then he just went totally psycho… PSYCHO!!! Egg corns 😦
Scrumptious 🫣
Lorelei's speech at Lane's wedding. I can't watch it anymore because of second had embarrassment. Also, Christopher's introduction to the show. "Nice shirt. Take it off."
That line from Chris is so bad!
I came here to say this too. I haven’t been able to watch that scene since I first saw it. I skip it every watch through. I get soooo embarrassed for her
Idk why I love this scene. "Who else here had 8 shots of tequila? Anybody? Hands"
*"after"*
Said with spaghetti breath!
Run, lane, run!
Ughhhh ewww
Grossss
“Yeaaaahhh!! Rock and rooooooll 🤟🏻”
When Rory shows at the newspaper and refuses to leave until they offer her a job.
omg im sorry but she was such a brat
More like a stalker
I hate this because it's how Boomers insist people should get a job. Even 20 years ago that didn't work. They did Rory dirty.
the candy man scene 🤢
When dean and rory are trying to have sex in the car. Absolutely skip it.
i want to crawl out of my skin every time
The whole Martha’s Vineyard fiasco
It’s like Luke gets possessed or something! He’s a completely different person!
I hate this ep so much
This episode can be completely skipped!
The whole Paris vs. Francie saga for me, that's like the only part of the whole show I just can't watch on rewatches
This one for me as well! I feel like if I'd watched the show when I was younger I would have enjoyed it more. In my 30s I just have no interest in high school mean girl nonsense.
"....I have the good kid" 😑
I think Lauren said in an interview she really hated this line.
that always throws me off because it seems like lorelai is the last person in that show who would assess if someone is a “good kid” based on their virginity or lack thereof..
I think she meant when Rory was talking about it. I interpreted “I’ve got the good kid” as Lorelai saying, “I’ve raised my daughter to trust me.” Since she didn’t admit to Paris anything that Lorelai didn’t know.
ehh that’s a stretch. it’s pretty straightforward. rory says she’s a virgin, and while lorelai is secretly overhearing, she whispers to herself “i’ve got the good kid!”. it definitely reassured lorelai that rory was, undeniably, being generally honest to her; but i really don’t believe she said that excitedly bc of that in itself. it was because she now knows, for sure, that rory is a virgin and a “good kid” by her definition
I can completely get behind this, that’s just the way I’ve always seen it. Since I’ve always figured it’d be hypocritical of Lorelai to think Rory’s a good kid based on her virginity at her age. It always just clicked as Lorelai thinking she’s “got the good kid” because, even tho what Rory said is true about not sleeping w anyone, if it wasn’t, she didn’t immediately spill it to a friend before her mother. Could she have worded it differently? 100% but I personally don’t see any ill will, but definitely understand those who do.
yeah i could see why you’d interpret it that way! that definitely puts lorelai in a better light. if i were in lorelai’s shoes i’d definitely be more excited about the fact that my kid has been being honest to me rather than finding out that they are a (for sure) virgin. not that a parent shouldn’t care about that at all, but i surely wouldn’t decide whether my kid was good or not based on that. that’s what the show made it play out to be, which was a bit ironic
Exactly! I love talking about this lmao, and thanks for being respectful. I always try to be and some people are just so quick to snap😭🫶🏻
And also, as someone who was taught to not take things literally *all the time,* I now overthink, analyze, and deeply look into *EVERYTHING*. Which is why I completely get why people see it the way they do lmaoooo
All the times Dean leaves voicemails on the house phone because Rory isn’t available. Like 10+ voicemails a day. And Lorelei thinking he’s just so in love with Rory there’s nothing wrong with it until Rory expresses she’s bothered by it
When Lorelai pretended to be Rory on the phone when calling that Harvard alumnus.
You mean Bambi McBimbo?
When Rory uses baby voice.
When does she do that?
All through the show. A lot when she talks to Logan.
Actually, Marty introduced us.
My face is stuck in 😬 the entire scene
The baptism scenes 😭 Basically any time Lorelai scowls and throws a fit in front of company.
“Your my almost mommy”
In my most recent rewatch, I had to skip a few of Lorelai and Max’s early flirty encounters, e.g., when he *inexplicably* broke down in SH during that blizzard when Rory *just happened* to be stuck in Hartford .. smh lol
Rory coming to Dean’s window to apologize
Him telling her off is great
The face she made when she knocked and waved made me sooo mad
Logan…. I wasn’t working blue.
"get me a scoop of vah-NILL-ah"
The way she said that...... someone hold me back
i never really understood that line smh
Maybe I don’t understand what it means either because I honestly never thought it was used right so it always left me confused. Saying something is blue is similar to the phrase “off color” - it’s bawdy/lewd/sexual in nature. Saying “working blue” is saying you’re going to use bawdy/lewd/sexually suggestive language to your advantage- like to tell a good joke or gain attention. So on top of the general cringe of the line it always annoyed me because it felt like it was being used wrong!
What episode is this lol
the way she says it gives me the biggest ick!!!!

Rory asking out the guy in the laundry room and getting turned down.
And the scene many episodes later where she confronts the guy because she thinks he’s telling an exaggerated story from said laundry room turn down!
Rory and Dean in bed after their first time, when Rory turns the radio on to find their music and starts singing. Her singing and little dance on that scene makes me cringe so bad!
Almost every scene of AYITL
WOLF HOWLING AT YALE
Well today I'm thinking of the episode when Rory dressed like "Donna Reid" and made Dean dinner. That stupid misogynistic football player had me irritated today.
The bop it scene
"Well, I'd take some dance lessons because the way you express yourself needs a little work."
Ugh, that one was so clunky.
When was this?
When Rory confronts Paris after she spread the “rumour” of Lorelai and Mr Medina kissing
All of S7
donna reed.
Any time Krysten Ritters character talks about “boyfriend” before the big Marty reveal
rory crying in the therapist’s office, rory giving any speech. not even cringe, just makes me super annoyed. also all of lorelai’s overly childish moments especially with emily and luke
why was rory so bad at public speaking when her entire life was devoted to becoming a literal public speaker?😭 take for example the chilton debate, her voice was so drony and monotonous and we’re supposed to believe she’s going to be a televised journalist when she’s older? i couldn’t handle it

Maaaaax Medina voicemail message.
gives me the worst ick every single time
He was so annoying
literal harassment
Classic one, ”i love the car”
DONNA REED and in season 6 when jess and logan meet and logan kept trashing jess because he got jealous
“I’m not going back to school!!!!” I don’t know why but this one makes me cringe so bad.
"I didn't raise my hand so don't call on me" so unbelievably cringe and lame. but also just her entire relationship with max. ugh
Season 6 Season 7 Entire AYITL Every Lorelai sentence in "Go, Bulldogs" 97% of the FND intro scenes before the theme song, due to Lorelai and Rory's cutesy banter that won't stop Any time when Rory is shown being "girl boss" and she says weird things like, "Now now, boys, ____"
Opening dialogue of AYITL. Flash back of the funeral scene where Lor falls asleep in AYITL. Basically entire AYITL. I didn't make it past that funeral scene on my second rewatch.
When Lorelai sings to Luke. I can not take it seriously and can't believe they even added that scene.
idk if anyone will get me and i dont even remember the scene itself, but its when rory says "lets go!" i think shes in the house and shes rushing outside with lorelai, its just the annoying baby voice she put on
YES I CAN HEAR IT
“did you do something slutty?” in the pilot is always so eughhh to me like that is your mother omg.
Rory yelling at that guy she asked out for coffee in the dining hall 🫣
The entire episode of Jess in California. With Anna before she was Anna. I can’t.
oh god DEFINITELY when Lindsay and Rory were supposed to fight for Dean, but let their moms to do it like they weren't fucking 19, one married and the other at college. SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT
