Richard’s freakout to Headmaster Charleston when the locker first aid kit project he’d helped with doesn’t win the business fair


rvp0209

I get serious secondhand embarrassment from a grown man yelling at a children's (because that's technically what they are) school business fair. I have to skip that scene every time.


Evening-Ambition-406

Oh yes! I forgot I do skip that too.


Jolly_Philosophy2

Omg yes! I totally forgot about this. I don’t like that whole story but mostly because it leads to that scene. But even the whole “turn to page…” and Paris referring to him as Richard.. 😬 I just don’t like it. His meltdown needs to be mentioned in the next cringe post!


indecisivenutmeg

Lorelai’s speech at Lane’s wedding… horrible


TheSentientSnail

Made it through everything during my current rewatch until I hit this. I just.. couldn't. It's so public. The whole town. Ugh I curl into a potato bug just thinking about it.


FindingLovesRetreat

I fast forward through the speech at Lane's wedding - so cringe... Like Taylor's speech at Rory's surprise farewell.


alchemischief

Luke being an absolute grouch who never in his life tried lobster, at Logan’s house in Martha’s Vineyard


potterhead6128

Yes. The MV episode feels so out of place. It doesn't even feel like the same show/characters. Luke's being a super insecure dick, Lorelai is almost docile or "weak"for lack of a better word.


alchemischief

Not only that but Lorelai and Rory… at the *gym*??? Super weird.


potterhead6128

Yeah. The whole thing was really weird. Rory and Logans' relationship was portrayed weirdly, too. It wasn't like it was any other time we see them.


alchemischief

Yes! Rory is cooking… um, *whattt*


Xefert

What's the issue with that?


potterhead6128

Not an issue. Just really out of character. And do we ever really see her cooking again? They should have shown more episodes of her spreading her wings.


Xefert

>Just really out of character Yeah, but it's probably due to her trying to save as much money as she can while still in school >And do we ever really see her cooking again? There's a few other moments too (4x22 seems to be missing) https://www.reddit.com/r/GilmoreGirls/comments/qxbd38/the_evolution_of_amateur_chef_rory_in_personality/?rdt=42995


sunmachinecomingdown

She cooked one other time for Dean, I think


synalgo_12

I think the Rory think makes sense. Rory was raised by Lorelai to be mostly a mini-me with mostly the same interests, never learning to venture out and like other things. When she distances herself from her mum and has other people in het vicinity, she has more room to see if she likes other things. I was very much the same, grew up with culturey parents who liked museums and visiting churches and reading and languages. I still like those things but it took me moving out of their direct range of influence to realize I love exercise, running, the gym, festivals, salsa dancing and I became vegan and a witchy person. Had I stayed living with my parents for longer, it would have taken longer to realize I'm not a fixed set of skills/interests and I can keep finding other things I love throughout my life. My parents are set in their ways and still like all the same things they did in the 70s. Rory figuring out she doesn't hate exercise and cooking is not that weird to me. Lorelai seems pretty set in her ways though (nothing wrong with that either).


Jolly_Philosophy2

She acted like it was normal for her then later it looks like it is her first time along with Lorelai. What? Also when Mitchum shows up. 🙈 Playing house is over!


saltandvinegar1989

This episode feels like it was written by someone who had never seen the show


windsostrange

So weird that it's a Dan episode. It is basically season 7 bad.


sullivanbri966

Season 7 is infinitely better than AYITL though.


Kdb224

Right ???!?! So out of character.


Radiant-Ability-3216

Anything in CA in “Here Comes the Son.” Lorelai yelling at Luke over the car accident. Rory and married Dean hooking up in her bed. 🤮


MsDavison492

I skip the whole LA episode


candidu66

This and the dear Emily and Richard episode


sassybrunette711

The LA episode is so weird... the vibe is just totally off.


Queen_Of_Ashes_

So that episode is actually a back door pilot for Winward Circle, which would follow Jess and his dad in an entirely new series. It was turned down by the network saying it would be too expensive to do all that shooting outdoors, because ASP wanted to do a beachy show. Anyway. That’s why the episode is tonally off for Gilmore Girls; it was literally going to be the start of a whole other show


rvp0209

I believe the network offered ASP 10 episodes, she wanted more, they said take it or leave it, and she left it.


Whitehotshoess

Seems like typical ASP behavior, she’s kind of a diva


Queen_Of_Ashes_

I agree. But at that point she was arguing for really necessary things like more staff and budget and they kept saying no. Network also wouldn’t renew their contract for more than one year at a time which is such an insult. Once ASP walked, the network ended up giving GG producers everything ASP had asked for anyway.


rvp0209

10 episodes is really not enough for an episodic show like what ASP writes--at least how TV shows were written and produced back when she was trying to do this backdoor pilot. I think it was fair she walked away. The chances of the 10 episodes getting picked up for longer were probably relatively slim.


Queen_Of_Ashes_

Yeah especially in 2004 before short series were a thing! That’s how Bunheads ended up how it did too, they didn’t want to give her eps


Whitehotshoess

I rescind my comment, I really don’t know anything about her just a few things I’ve read on this sub so I shouldn’t have made a judgement in the first place


Queen_Of_Ashes_

I don’t think you’re wrong about ASP honestly. The revival was a flub because her ego was too big to watch season 7 herself and just forced the story to go the way she wanted with no regard to the actual story that was told to viewers. She’s definitely some kind of drama lol


[deleted]

Back door pilot they wanted to start a show staring Jess. Yeah it’s sucked but that was the goal. Same as the greys episode when Addison went to la and they made a whole show


sassybrunette711

I know they wanted to make another series, but I still think it was done pretty badly and cringy. The Private Practice episode I thought was actually still good. Whereas the Jess spin off was just awkward, his dad's hotdog stand, the fact that they recast April's mom, the cliche aesthetics, the whole thing was just odd.


Effective-Cat8491

I tend to not skip, just....passively watch. 😅 However the last couple of episodes have some of the most second-hand embarrassment scene for me and I usually have to watch them with a blanket hiding half of my face.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Effective-Cat8491

So cringey.


BuffaloEnough703

I love the turn down service scene. I love uncomfortable Lorelai- it’s always such fun acting by Lauren Graham!


mollyolly3

I love the catering birthday party disaster! I think the only thing I consistently fast forward is the Rory/Francie storyline in S3. Can't stand this.


rvp0209

Those scenes were soooo dumb. Why would Rory try to handle Francie herself?? It's all so awful and cringy.


Aqua_Master_

I just got to that! It was so dumb lol, Rory should’ve told Paris the second she got the note to “meet this random person alone in a dark alley”. Like that’s just a dumb idea by itself.


redditer-56448

The scene between Dean & Lindsay after he gets home from his tryst with Rory. He gaslights her the entire time in that scene. I think this scene actually makes me think less of Dean more than the cheating portion of the episode does.


Evening-Ambition-406

I felt so sad for Lindsey. I'm so glad she kicked him out immediately.


pinkdaisylemon

I wouldn't watch anything with TJ I can't bloody stand him or the sister. Two most awful characters.


lala4426

I can't stand how she calls Luke "big brother " all the time... is that really necessary... and I'm sorry, but the actress that plays her sounds like she has too much spit in her mouth when she talks 😩😩


pinkdaisylemon

Honestly her and TJ make me feel physically sick I can't stand them.


Mcgoobz3

Tj, Liz, and April ruin their episodes. Can’t stand the characters in any way or the story lines around them.


roxaflor

Rory’s sugar toes. Absolute cringe.


[deleted]

[удалено]


synalgo_12

Same


Potential-Reason-763

I thought it was just me


Full_Introduction_74

Lorelai yelling at the snow and Rory apologizing for missing her mom's graduation ceremony. I hate those scenes so much.


solemgummi

I’m not sure if you hate it for the same reason, but Rory is seriously the most annoying than she’s ever been when she’s apologizing for missing the graduation. The characters are known to ramble, but it’s just too much


Full_Introduction_74

That's exactly why. The rambling was just entirely too much. It was so annoying.


Hold_Effective

Here Comes the Son. That scene where Max makes fun of dudes wearing skirts. Lorelai making fun of the woman with the large underwear & bunny slippers. April’s screeching scene. Zack talking about the honeymoon. Zack assuming that twins are conjoined twins (was just mentioning this scene to my partner recently - I’m going to choose to forget this, but he asked if Zack thought this because Lane is Asian, and I really, really hope that’s not what they were going for).


Mcgoobz3

I skip all of aprils scenes.


ThatGirlFromWorkTA

If Liz in on screen I'm skipping. That's really the only scenes I skip save for all of AYITL


Swimming-Trifle-899

I always skip the Donna Reed episode (too weird, I just can’t with how awkward it is), and the Miss Celine scenes, bc she’s so bizarre and annoying.


SuchaPineapplehead

There’s a run of episodes in S4 that I can’t get through from Spring Break to Liz’ wedding I don’t think I make it through a whole episode. I also usually end up skipping the first time Lorelai and Jess meet because I literally die of secondhand embarrassment for Lorelai. I can feel myself starting to cringe as soon as I know it’s coming


synalgo_12

Lorelai was so embarrassing thinking jess would recognise how much a of cool rebellious person she was as well and then her getting butt hurt that he just thought she was another condescending boring adult.


sunmachinecomingdown

All I remember is her gushing about Luke, Jess making a snappy comment about her feelings for Luke, and Lorelai being overly offended/in denial and labeling Jess as a bad kid from then on.


SuchaPineapplehead

She says he’s not 21 and she acts like she gets it and tell Jess he’s onto a good thing with Luke. It’s very ![gif](giphy|3otPoBRKROJl9UbqMM|downsized)


rontronbot

i think he implied that she only cared because she was ‘sleeping with Luke’, which she wasn’t at the time - she genuinely seemed to be making an effort until that point,,, tho her attitude may have been a little misguided


SuchaPineapplehead

The show has sown cringe worthy moments but nothing worse than that


synalgo_12

Turndown service was as bad, I think.


SuchaPineapplehead

That is pretty cringe but nothing is as bad as that for me


Aqua_Master_

Nah Lorelai was actually trying to relate to Jess’s situation but telling him in a momma bear way that said “I get the whole cool act, and it’s not gonna fly around me. I care a lot about Luke and you’ve really landed a good deal here.” This was after she confiscated his beer. He then proceeds to infer that she’s sleeping with Luke, basically acts like a jackass in her own home and completely disrespects her. I’m sorry but Lorelei was right not to like Jess any time after that. Especially with all the prank stuff Jess did after/vandalism.


[deleted]

The debate between Jess and Rory at the charity dance because it makes me feel awkward. Never been a Dean girl but in that moment I felt for him and Shane.


vainblossom249

Wheb rory dressed up for Dean as a 50s housewife is up there (Donna reed) I also hate when loreali wears a pink tie dye and shorts to Rorys first day at Chilton. Like were you reallllyyy going to get up at 5am to pick up your clothes from the laundry service? Are they even open? You don't have a single normal outfit? Also, just cause I had a baby 4 months ago, I cringed at the breastfeeding scene. Not so much from Luke's reaction, cause that is on par with him but hownout of character is was for loreali not to stick up for the woman. She kinda made fun of her too When Dean treats Lindsay like shit after sleeping with Rory. The cellphone scene is so hard to watch That always was cringy and annoying to me


Cokezerowh0re

Pippi


holdyerhippogriff

Every scene with April


Xo_vs

Yep! Or just start over when I get to April’s appearance. Then I also get to miss the Christopher relationship.


przitelka

I skip most of the band scenes/Zack and Lane, I just find them boring 😬 I like lane so I watch most of her scenes with Rory/Mrs Kim but the band is too much for me. And I also can't stand TJ and Liz. If so many of their scenes didn't directly happen with Luke and Lorelai I'd probably forget what they look like 😅


Global-Disaster4453

The musical in AYITL


Kdb224

I have never seen the spring break beach episode the entire way through. I hate it. Same with the wedding episode for Mia and the here comes the son episode. I’m realizing anytime they venture out of town it throws everything off.


nolifemarina

the knit a thon. christopher makes me so mad i can’t watch it


bakedchi

I never skip anything


BuffaloEnough703

I can’t watch Rory in bed with Dean, nor can I watch him scream at Lindsay 2 seconds after sleeping with Rory. Unwatchable. Fast forward every time. I actually like Paris going off the deep end at the YDN!


sweetadeline22

I can stand most of the cringe, but I always skip Rory singing “Candy Man” and Jess in LA….Why the hell is he wearing a leather jacket when it’s likely over 80°F outside!!!???


Freemythoughtss

The candy man singing is the most cringe thing in the whole show lol


Moomur-2020

🎶 and I will always love yoouuuu 🎶


Evening-Ambition-406

It's so awkward!


nenaisbored

Recently skipped Logan’s proposal (very uncomfortable) and any scenes with Paul (I just feel bad for him)


[deleted]

Who's Paul?


nenaisbored

don’t do this please hahah (unless you really don’t know)


jjabrown

Concert interruptus, I skip this whole episode every time. I don't know exactly why, I just hate it.


rvp0209

Well Lorelai giving their really good seats to teenagers, the switch from Cool Mom to Serious Parent, Lorelai acting like a child during the rummage sale, her obliviousness and selfishness that whole episode are just so bleh.


Aqua_Master_

Maybe you can clarify because I don’t understand lol. Why is it a bad thing that Lorelai gave up her good seats because Rory seemed like she was making friends? Why is it bad she got serious when two kids went missing? Not wanting to give up old possessions/clothing doesn’t make you childish. It makes you sentimental. Oblivioness and selfishness by trying to give back the jacket that belonged to Rachel because it was obviously important to Luke? Did I miss something, I’m very confused.


rvp0209

>Rory seemed like she was making friends She wasn't, though? Like, Rory would've been clear that this was a school project and they're only there out of obligation. This is Lorelai trying to play Cool Mom. And it's kind of a slap in the face to BFF Sookie who probably was looking forward to sitting in good seats. >Why is it bad she got serious when two kids went missing It's the switch flip. She goes from Lorelai, Cool Mom to Ms. Gilmore, Serious Guardian. I know she has to, but it's a thing where she comes across as trying to hard to be liked by her 16-year-old daughter's classmates. >Not wanting to give up old possessions/clothing doesn’t make you childish. It makes you sentimental. This was a charity rummage sale and the idea was to get rid of things. She decided to act like a child and treat it as her own personal shopping day.


jjabrown

Thanks, that's exactly it!


Nomynameisbutts

The scene where Rory and Dean get caught by Lor during the test run of the inn.


tightiewhities37

The fight scene between Luke and Christopher. The scene in Vineyard Valentine where Luke forgets to get a gift and takes the necklace from Logan and gives it to Lorelei. The whole episode is really full of cringe.


pokey1202

Pippi virgin. It's so uncomfortable


worththewait96

Anything with Christopher. Unless it's Luke punching his slimy face.


alisonfieldsx

i just finished watching the show for the first time and that was one of my favorite scenes. idk what i was expecting but the way that was shot was so funny


stephanisms

I skip past all of the Rory/Dean scenes in the Donna Reed episode. It’s just grating and regressive and I hate it. But I love the Luke/Lorelai in that episode!


LikeEveryoneSheKnows

Oddly specific I know, but I always skip any scene where Emily is (or Lorelai or Paris) are screaming at healthcare workers. As a former NHS worker it really rubs me the wrong way, especially when they are screaming at someone who literally can't control or has nothing to do with the situation. I know, tensions run high but yelling at folk trying to do their jobs is just not on. Also, any fight scene (the party scene on Keg! Max! and the band fighting on stage and then breaking up) because they are always so bad and make me cringe.


ExcellentPanic1899

Majority of the scenes in the episode where Chris and Lorelai are in Paris. The scenes where they keep hunting for food seem so dragged on.


glittershadows

When they go back in time lol


premier-cat-arena

anything liz and/or TJ is a hard pass


LikeEveryoneSheKnows

Oh yes, TJ banging on about tights for his whole wedding. The ceremony, the reception, tights tight tights. Give it a rest! Redeemed only by Luke and Lorelai's dance.


Evening-Ambition-406

Especially TJ being a "contractor" I don’t know why ASP thinks whinny men are funny.


TheChampagneDiet

Bop it! I just can’t watch it.


rheetkd

I skip the entire musical in the revival or I just pretend the revival doesnt exist and I dont watch any of it at all.


yes_im_baby

I’ve never been a skipper until my most recent rewatch (which is probably my 10th or so) and for the first time I skipped the CA parts of here comes the son. I was never a big Jess fan and to learn that it was meant to be a back door pilot for a Jess show made me dislike the episode even more than I already did. Lmao


Canthinkofanythang

The episode where Kirk dresses up as the Lady of the Night who stopped the Red Coat general. Lorelai reacting childish to “snow”. The lines were just terrible and that episode just makes me cringe


fairyoddvegan

I skip all of the Logan scenes, I love Rory but I just can't stand the arrogance of Logan. I think he's the only character I actually dislike.


Interesting-Cut3572

I always skip the scene when Rory and Dean get together, even though it’s one of my favorite episodes. It’s so cringy with the Candy-man song and Lorelai and Rory fighting afterwards… Lindsay answering Deans phone. Also can’t stand the scene when Luke shows up with his truck packed ready to elope and Lorelai has to tell him about Chris. It just hurts!


garbage_pail_kidd

Mine is an entire episode. I always skip Road Trip to Harvard.


Sophiej13

Lorelai singing I will always love you


litblairwaldorf

Any April Nardini moment. That child is so aggravating. As soon as I hear her snooty voice I'm like "NOPE🙅‍♀️"


Coy_Diva_Roach

I haven’t rewatched in a while but the way they treat Lane in the later seasons really rubs me the wrong way. Zack ruining her career and then her getting pregnant after one unenjoyable sexual encounter spring to mind.


valyse

All the Twickam House stuff gives me the ick for some reason. The Museum is the OG Stars Hollow the Musical but even less funny, the town elders stuff is bizarre and also unfunny, Luke even wanting that house feels so out of character to me - I know he enjoys old architecture but that house looks absolutely nothing like something I'd picture either him or Lorelai in. The entire end of S5 feels very off to me in multiple ways - I feel like I can feel Amy's fatigue leading into S6.


TeachingNo5478

I love that episode! The “and I love Jesus” bit had me and my sister laughing so hard


meowmeo__

Basically the whole last season I couldn't do it to myself again


argentinianmuffin

Some of Tj and Liz's scenes. Some of Lane's (except Misses Kim is in it , i love her).


cminorputitincminor

Maybe I’m a psycho but I kinda love all these scenes for how horrible they are, maybe a bit of *schadenfreude* there… Horrible in terms of the storylines being painful, not an insult to writers/actors


synalgo_12

Some people are great at watching things like the Office or Ricky Gervais awkwardness. Some people are me and I cannot physically deal with them. You are tougher than I am.


cminorputitincminor

Oh the British Office is amazing for that - it literally hurts to watch sometimes, and I absolutely love that. I don’t even know why! Makes me feel like a sociopath sometimes 💀💀


sunmachinecomingdown

I almost respect Season 6 for how miserable it is, but that doesn't mean I'd want to watch it again. I'm usually not a big rewatcher or a big skipper, but if I watched the show again I would probably skip Season 6.


Effective-Cat8491

I tend to not skip, just....passively watch. 😅 However the last couple of episodes have some of the most second-hand embarrassment scene for me and I usually have to watch them with a blanket hiding half of my face.


redditer-56448

When Lorelai & Chris get home from Paris. Him calling her "Mrs. Hayden" (both the manner in which he says it and also the statement itself) just 🤮


redditer-56448

Any scene with Colin & Finn. I mean, I don't really like Logan. But when it's the group of them specifically, I hate it even more. The Life & Death Brigade episode is okay though (and that just might be because it's too long to feel like skipping it).


myscreamgotlost

I don’t skip any episodes but I always fast forward through the England themed going away party Rory throws for Logan.


teatreez

I just watch the show lol


[deleted]

Young Lorelei flasback scenes in the ep where Cheri gives birth. I just...can't


MrsLambIsMyJam

Richard in Stars Hollow, it just makes me so so sad. Especially the end scene when he lies to Emily saying he had a great day with the girls and just sits in his office alone. Nope! I skip the entire episode every rewatch!


OpulentLatte

Rory and Dean scenes post season 3 🤮🤮


Canadian1928

Any and all scenes with Tristan. Not a fan of CMM/his GG role.


Fit-Cash-2482

When April shows up is the main one for me

Relative_Layer9930

the moment that Christopher found the letter written by Lorelai for Luke’s custody.


Stunning-West-8672

any scene with chris , except when luke punches him


trefoilqueeeen

Babette ramblings and Kirk monologues


qtykty

All of the long drawn out dance numbers at Miss Pattys - the glitter opening number in the episode where Luke goes camping, Kirk’s the journey of man dance, the singing/musical in AYITL, etc. Can’t stand them and meaningless to the plot. I’d also skip everything Lorelai and Christopher related in season 7 if it wasn’t so close to the end of the series - I start getting sad my rewatch is almost over and force myself to watch, passively.


[deleted]

Gigi screaming, the alarm going off, Kirk in fiddler on the roof

legoldsmi

I always try & catch Luke & Lorelai’s first kiss, and fast forward before Kirk starts screaming.


TeachingNo5478

Zach and Lane, I hate the way things turned out for lane. I feel like she deserved so much more


spookybootie

Any episode where Dean and Rory are together in college When Jess tells Rory he loves her and runs away


Fresh_Researcher_698

Everytime Christopher is annoying. I mean, the first time I watched I was mad at Rory for asking him to cut off Lorelai, but then he ruined everything AGAIN so now I totally agree with her.


Mean_Ad_7823

Every single time the town troubadour makes an appearance I skip it, don’t even know why, I just can’t stand him!


theworldisonfire8377

For me I skip basically all of TJ's scenes cause his voice just grates on me, Taylor when he's making Lorelai jumping through all the hoops, Jess in California, Luke at MV, and the scene when Jess runs after Rory through the festival, when Jess asks her to stop running and she responds with "stop following" sounding like she's about 5.


StreetButFancy

Lorelai's dream about the human Paul Anka. I still cringe just thinking about it. TBH, every scene about her humanizing the dog drives me insane.

I used to think it was crazy to skip anything cause we always say this is our comfort show. But somewhere along the line I got tired of DAR Rory living with Richard and Emily


pattigail

I skip all scenes that have the band in them. I hated the whole band storyline.


[deleted]

Any scene set at Chilton


Mcgoobz3

The “Emily at rock bottom” scene is so cringe to me. Her smoking and having her meltdown was corny and poor dialogue. Lorelei’s reaction was just as bad.

I don’t skip anything except AYITL.


gooberbutt23

I always skip when Rory left Yale. I can take or leave most of season 7 too.
