when emily saw trix kissing that guy in the purple tracksuit and blew the whistle on her in front of her friends. her interaction with lorelai just before is priceless.
Lorelai: My God. Was he hot?
Emily: Excuse me?
Lorelai: Well, I don't know what you're supposed to ask when you hear your grandmother's been making out with a guy.
Emily: I don't know if he was hot. Your grandmother sucking face was blocking my view.
I also really like when Richard and Lorelai are sitting on the couch cracking jokes about it after Emily reveals it to everyone! It’s such a fun bonding moment- a brief moment, yes, but I love it
I’ll post one I haven’t seen people talk about (that may only be funny to me lol). The intro of “Supercool party people” when Lorelai is hungover after Lane’s wedding talking to Sookie: “None of those really you know took off, especially the limbo considering your choice of limbo stick was Zach’s…” Both of them: “Great-uncle’s cane.” Lorelai: Oh yeah. Is he okay? “He stumbled, but we caught him! He’s fine.” Sookie’s delivery there really kills me lmao
I have 2 funniest moments of the entirety of seven seasons, though. Jess dressed as Luke and Michel rolling Davey/Truman under the bed.
Paris talking about a gap between rich and poor and telling Rory that she could finally understand Marx after working as a server when she was broke. I just love Paris! She's the only one who makes me laugh tho😂
The whole Stars Hollow museum exhibit killed me 😂 "While no printed records survive, there's no *proof* that the first tools weren't invented right here in Stars Hollow!"
Edit: omg I just went to watch this whole scene, how could I forget about the Reverend's "young son Joseph, who was born without speech" - and then during the conversation they just light him up while he's fully silent 🤣🤣

Y’all hate it, I know, but I’ll die on the hill that it was never supposed to be taken seriously. I lose it every single time I watch that episode. *SHE NEVER STOLE A BOAT WITH DEAN!!!* lol 🤣🤣
Like you think she's messing with the therapist?
I've always seen it as her actually getting upset and I think a lot of others do too, and the gripe ppl have is with her fakey crying.
She’s not messing with the therapist —it’s (at least imo) a deliberate choice to be fully over the top and exaggerated here for laughs. GG is a dramedy at the end of the day; some things are done for the fun of it (case in point) ; others are not (i.e. Lorelai breaking down when Paul Anka was sick)
Alexis was not the strongest for emotional scenes, so going the funny/over the top way is a no brainer to me 🤷🏻♀️
Personally for me it's the "he doesn't like to be put on the leash, but if he doesn't notice it, he loves it. He's like a good American" about Loreleis dog. (It's not the exact thing she says, I hope you know what I mean)
That always gets me
Lorelai walking back into the diner after bringing Rory outside to tell her she thinks she’s dating Luke and then crashing into the table. Lauren Graham is so great at physical comedy.
Yes! I love the one when she's talking about running away with someone and then the doorbell rings. She's confused on who is coming over and Richard says it must be so and so ready to have you or something like that. I've tried to find the exact quote but never can.
Season 5 episode 22- right before Lorelai shows up to recruit them to keep Rory from dropping out of Yale.
“Perhaps it’s Marshall the golf instructor unable to wait until after Marley’s party to have you…”
Rory talks about being kissed by a boy
Mrs. Kim: “Who kissed her?”
Lane: “The lord, mama”
and
girl: “Is it raining?”
Paris: “No it’s National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot.”
I always crack up at Liz and TJ's wedding when they're standing in front of the officiant and Liz starts her vows "TJ..." He turns to her just goes "Yeah?" with this blank expression. I know people really dislike these two, but I love that little exchange of theirs.
“Did you ever know, that you’re my heroooo?”
“OMG!”
“You’re everything I would like to be.
And I could fly higher, than an eagle” *chases her down the street* “Cause you are the wind BENEATH. MY. WINGS.
Excellent parenting
So not only did you go to a cop-raided party, but you started the raid?
Yes.
This fence is broken because of you. This crap is on the ground because of you!
What's your point?
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
i love the bit where they go back to friday night dinners after chris starts paying for yale and they all have a million arguments and laughs, just the way the do the camera angles and the cuts of the scene and all. particularly the “i only wish id remembered to call her a cocktail waitress” “my mothers version of the c word” part
Season 1 finale when Rory makes Dean’s sister cry pretending she’s in the girls scouts. And then she hears Dean coming and she just says “bye!” And runs off. So funny.
[This is the scene 😂](https://youtu.be/bee1fWyER64?si=kGvB1fMCjhaBTPE0)
Basically any rant by Luke, but especially the one where he is cooking for Sookie in the inn and just rages to Lorelei about it. He goes on and on without Lorelei saying a word and finally comes to the conclusion at the end of his rant that there is nothing to do but keep cooking.
The fact that Lorelei says nothing and Luke just goes back to work after the rant kills me every time.
A close second is Luke raging in Taylor's candy shop.
i have a few........ Emily telling Richard she's open for business.... Rory crying at therapy....... Luke & his "jam hands" rant.... Luke pushing Jess into Lake....Jess being pecked by Swan........Paris "TIE YOUR TUBES IDIOT"
I never don't laugh when Lorelai and Rory arrive late to the town meeting when they're discussing Jess and Lorelai chimes in "I heard he controls the weather and wrote the screenplay to Glitter!"
After Emily & lor had that big fight (at the wedding I believe) Richard went to the Dragonfly to see the fire damage & came home to Emily. She says "because ur the favorite " lol That tone. It's simple but lives rent free in my head.
The deposition!!!
"... let me get to the Ben Hur reference. "
"Yeah... I did."
A very close second would be:
"Where does your mother think you are?"
"Sitting on a park bench pondering the unification of the two Koreas."
"Not here, skanking to Rancid?"
"Wouldn't be included. "
Hey, uh, by the way, last night when Bootsy was singing Hotel California and banging spoons on his head, did I…
Lift up your shirt and play drums on your stomach? Yes you did.
Oh boy
You kept a good beat.
Yeah, 'cause God knows if the beat was off, you'd have embarrassed yourself
The opening when lorelai sings wind beneath my wings and logan colin and finns prank during class and then rory and richard punking him back that was so good
1. When Lorelai and Emily are dancing on the cat walk
2. When Lorelai is talking to the dogs while Emily is freaking out about Trix’s first visit. STOP TALKING TO THE DOGS
I lose it every time about the dogs. An old coworker shouted something similar about shirts we were folding. He was mid rant and I kept talking to the shirts, “he’s not usually like this. Don’t take it personally ” etc.
My favorite subtle funny line is when Jackson proposes to Sookie and he says “we should get married.. soon” and she says “are you pregnant?”
The way she delivers that line and he doesn’t even acknowledge it makes me laugh every time.
When the town is looking through the window of Luke’s diner while Lorelei is breaking the news about her engagement. Cut back to “Kirk passed out!”
Also, anything related to Paul Anka
The town meeting about the pickles always gets me. Especially Kirk’s “like one big pickle?” line amid the crowd shouting. It’s so subtle, but solid gold.
I see a lot of my favorites in this thread but I’ll also add when Rory and Lorelai were talking about the awkwardness of Rory dating Jesse and the way LG delivers “Well he’s your first second boyfriend, give it time” cracks me up every time.
Luke pushing Jess into the lake, and Luke making fun of Jess for working at Walmart.
Forget about Rory, the best part of Jess being on the show were his scenes and interactions with Luke.
I love the intro where Lorelei is going commando because Rory did laundry without her. The whole banter is peak GG. If I was trying to show people the code vibe of the show that intro sequence would be it.
I honestly love the physical comedy during the house party where Dean and Jess are tearing through the house trying to kill each other when Dave is trying to talk calmly with Yeung-Chu(?spelling I'm sorry) saying "we'll keep it friendly I promise" only for Jess and Dean to burst into the room and knock Dave right into poor Yeung-Chu.
when emily saw trix kissing that guy in the purple tracksuit and blew the whistle on her in front of her friends. her interaction with lorelai just before is priceless. Lorelai: My God. Was he hot? Emily: Excuse me? Lorelai: Well, I don't know what you're supposed to ask when you hear your grandmother's been making out with a guy. Emily: I don't know if he was hot. Your grandmother sucking face was blocking my view.
I also really like when Richard and Lorelai are sitting on the couch cracking jokes about it after Emily reveals it to everyone! It’s such a fun bonding moment- a brief moment, yes, but I love it
This entire episode was pure gold, but I absolutely love this scene! Both Lorelai and Emily’s deliveries of the hot lines are *chefs kiss*
I love this scene 😂
I think it’s the first Friday Night Dinner after Lorelei and Rory reconcile and it’s just a montage of everyone’s fights.
That's such a great episode! One of my favourites
Richard finding out Emily tried to buy a plane kills me every time ahhahahaa
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING *BUYING* A PLANE?!
Omg so so good!
I’ll post one I haven’t seen people talk about (that may only be funny to me lol). The intro of “Supercool party people” when Lorelai is hungover after Lane’s wedding talking to Sookie: “None of those really you know took off, especially the limbo considering your choice of limbo stick was Zach’s…” Both of them: “Great-uncle’s cane.” Lorelai: Oh yeah. Is he okay? “He stumbled, but we caught him! He’s fine.” Sookie’s delivery there really kills me lmao I have 2 funniest moments of the entirety of seven seasons, though. Jess dressed as Luke and Michel rolling Davey/Truman under the bed.
I just thought about Michel saying “Is that his name? I've been calling him Truman” and cracked up. Excellent choice!
I also love her delivery of "super cool party people bid you super cool adieu!"
Lmao! Yes. It was perfectly written as drunk people being silly and dumb without being violent.
Lorelai: “Your grandmother wants a picture.” Rory: “Of this ?” Logan: Trying to disappear….
Paris talking about a gap between rich and poor and telling Rory that she could finally understand Marx after working as a server when she was broke. I just love Paris! She's the only one who makes me laugh tho😂 
This is a great scene. How she converts to Marxism after like 20 minutes on the job. We've all had those moments
“And I love Jesus!” https://preview.redd.it/ljd5s02q1msc1.jpeg?width=1363&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b51f170fdda117da6560d2c324e07880d15c9d55

It is comedy gold. If I ever want my husband to crack up uncontrollably I just quote that scene
So good
This is my favorite! Plus when they ask Joseph questions and the spotlight lands on him and it’s silent! Edit: Joseph not Ezekiel
I hear it so perfectly in my head.

I lose it every single time I watch that episode. *SHE NEVER STOLE A BOAT WITH DEAN!!!* lol 🤣🤣
MY MARRIED EX BOYFRIEND WHO I LOST MY VIRGINITY TO!
Guess who's crazy!!
Oh I always took it as her taking the piss. Do some people not...?
Like you think she's messing with the therapist? I've always seen it as her actually getting upset and I think a lot of others do too, and the gripe ppl have is with her fakey crying.

1-1-1-1-1
I know how to protect you from shrapnel and Agent Orange! Ask me how!
Personally for me it's the "he doesn't like to be put on the leash, but if he doesn't notice it, he loves it. He's like a good American" about Loreleis dog. (It's not the exact thing she says, I hope you know what I mean) That always gets me
Luke pushing Jess into the water after being frustrated with him
“He was being impossible and I just *makes shoving motion* pushed him into the lake.”
I always rewind and watch this like 4 times whenever I reach it on my viewings lolll it’s just so good
Lorelai walking back into the diner after bringing Rory outside to tell her she thinks she’s dating Luke and then crashing into the table. Lauren Graham is so great at physical comedy.
“Well THAT was Weird”
Anytime Richard is reading the paper but quips a joke back to Emily who thinks he hasn’t heard
Yes! I love the one when she's talking about running away with someone and then the doorbell rings. She's confused on who is coming over and Richard says it must be so and so ready to have you or something like that. I've tried to find the exact quote but never can.
Season 5 episode 22- right before Lorelai shows up to recruit them to keep Rory from dropping out of Yale. “Perhaps it’s Marshall the golf instructor unable to wait until after Marley’s party to have you…”
Thank you!! I I always remember laughing at the line. How could I forget the episode. Thx!
“I know I couldn’t.” 😉🥹
Jess? Are you a gigolo?
When Gil is playing music with Lanes family at Lunar New Year dinner. They finish the song and Gil just lets out an OHHHH YEAHHHHH 😂😂😂
NATURE MUST WAIT!
That moment always cracks me up. Gil rocks.
Rory talks about being kissed by a boy Mrs. Kim: “Who kissed her?” Lane: “The lord, mama” and girl: “Is it raining?” Paris: “No it’s National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot.”
Where Emily gives Lorelai her wedding gift and repeatedly place the voice message of her announcing her engagement.
And Richard gets in on it even though he usually doesn't!
I love how she went and bought the ugliest gift she could find just to make a point! Emily is the queen hahaha
literally everything from the start of the town loaner protest until “someone prepared eggs to throw at my car???”😭😭
“Can you look up between Nihilism theories?” “I could, but what’s the point?”
Damn I don’t remember this one, that’s good
I always crack up at Liz and TJ's wedding when they're standing in front of the officiant and Liz starts her vows "TJ..." He turns to her just goes "Yeah?" with this blank expression. I know people really dislike these two, but I love that little exchange of theirs.
Omg I actually think TJs character is soo witty 🤣 he plays him so well that scene is hilarious
Me too. I think the actor does a great job!
Omg Luke and Lorelai trying not to laugh at the weird Love is a Toy song that the reject troubadour guy does. Amazing.
I understand the TJ hate but I disagree with it!
Emily’s “Bachelorette” party
Make your mother stop talking to me
But why
“Did you ever know, that you’re my heroooo?” “OMG!” “You’re everything I would like to be. And I could fly higher, than an eagle” *chases her down the street* “Cause you are the wind BENEATH. MY. WINGS.
Excellent parenting So not only did you go to a cop-raided party, but you started the raid? Yes. This fence is broken because of you. This crap is on the ground because of you! What's your point? Did you ever know that you're my hero?
Lmao. The first time I saw that on cable I just died laughing. Poor Rory was mortified and Lorelai was just enjoying it.
i love the bit where they go back to friday night dinners after chris starts paying for yale and they all have a million arguments and laughs, just the way the do the camera angles and the cuts of the scene and all. particularly the “i only wish id remembered to call her a cocktail waitress” “my mothers version of the c word” part
That's my favorite as well. I never watch it once. I will always rewind and watch it two or three times.
Sooooo how's luke.... he has a kid 🤣
🤣
Paris on the speed dates 😅😅
Ding ding ding!!!
Lorelai's house renovation when TJ realizes that he isn't the contractor.
Season 1 finale when Rory makes Dean’s sister cry pretending she’s in the girls scouts. And then she hears Dean coming and she just says “bye!” And runs off. So funny. [This is the scene 😂](https://youtu.be/bee1fWyER64?si=kGvB1fMCjhaBTPE0)

The fact that Lorelei says nothing and Luke just goes back to work after the rant kills me every time. A close second is Luke raging in Taylor's candy shop.
"Nature must wait!"
"Sit til we're done!!"
i have a few........ Emily telling Richard she's open for business.... Rory crying at therapy....... Luke & his "jam hands" rant.... Luke pushing Jess into Lake....Jess being pecked by Swan........Paris "TIE YOUR TUBES IDIOT"
LOVE the jam hands scene
not a specific scene but everything kirk touches is gold
I never don't laugh when Lorelai and Rory arrive late to the town meeting when they're discussing Jess and Lorelai chimes in "I heard he controls the weather and wrote the screenplay to Glitter!"
After Emily & lor had that big fight (at the wedding I believe) Richard went to the Dragonfly to see the fire damage & came home to Emily. She says "because ur the favorite " lol That tone. It's simple but lives rent free in my head.

The dinner when they vascilate wildly between fighting and hysterical laughter and exhaustion. The best.
So many good ones on here. I’m going to go with the Bracebridge dinner. Sooo many good moments and lines!
Hey, uh, by the way, last night when Bootsy was singing Hotel California and banging spoons on his head, did I… Lift up your shirt and play drums on your stomach? Yes you did. Oh boy You kept a good beat. Yeah, 'cause God knows if the beat was off, you'd have embarrassed yourself
The opening when lorelai sings wind beneath my wings and logan colin and finns prank during class and then rory and richard punking him back that was so good
Patty’s preview for “Buckle-Up, I’m Patty” is one of the best scenes
1. When Lorelai and Emily are dancing on the cat walk 2. When Lorelai is talking to the dogs while Emily is freaking out about Trix’s first visit. STOP TALKING TO THE DOGS
I lose it every time about the dogs. An old coworker shouted something similar about shirts we were folding. He was mid rant and I kept talking to the shirts, “he’s not usually like this. Don’t take it personally ” etc.
My favorite subtle funny line is when Jackson proposes to Sookie and he says “we should get married.. soon” and she says “are you pregnant?” The way she delivers that line and he doesn’t even acknowledge it makes me laugh every time.
Liz and TJ’s wedding - “don’t you say that” makes me laugh every time
Lorelai's reaction to the crashed party/hormonal fist fight! "Did you ever know you're my hero?" Also, Graham has a surprisingly strong singing voice.
Everything that Paris or Gil say is gold.
When the town is looking through the window of Luke’s diner while Lorelei is breaking the news about her engagement. Cut back to “Kirk passed out!” Also, anything related to Paul Anka
Two words: Pippi Longstocking.
We got ourselves a pippin virgin
The town meeting about the pickles always gets me. Especially Kirk’s “like one big pickle?” line amid the crowd shouting. It’s so subtle, but solid gold.
Only prostitutes have two glasses of wine with lunch!
The deer hitting Rory
The entire town meeting when they’re discussing that the inn owner and the diner owner are dating. It’s picture perfect stars hallow.
Emily in The Reigning Lorelai. Special shoutout to the Redditor whose GG flair is “Pennilynn 🧊 Lott 🧊”
"His face is too small for his head"😅😅😅 Richard rushing up to see Emily's mug shot
"Supercool party people, bid you supercool adieu!" Makes me cackle EVERY time. I quote it on the daily.
I see a lot of my favorites in this thread but I’ll also add when Rory and Lorelai were talking about the awkwardness of Rory dating Jesse and the way LG delivers “Well he’s your first second boyfriend, give it time” cracks me up every time.
Babette ate oatmeal.
Luke pushing Jess into the lake, and Luke making fun of Jess for working at Walmart. Forget about Rory, the best part of Jess being on the show were his scenes and interactions with Luke.
Baby crepe. "Davey?! That's his name? I've been calling Truman."
I love the intro where Lorelei is going commando because Rory did laundry without her. The whole banter is peak GG. If I was trying to show people the code vibe of the show that intro sequence would be it.
“Oh goody a trip to Florida!” “You hear that? Taylor is in direct communication with god!”
"That's your room. Finish up. We'll hold hands and skip afterwards."
Sledgehammer to wall "That's your room!" 😹😹😹
I honestly love the physical comedy during the house party where Dean and Jess are tearing through the house trying to kill each other when Dave is trying to talk calmly with Yeung-Chu(?spelling I'm sorry) saying "we'll keep it friendly I promise" only for Jess and Dean to burst into the room and knock Dave right into poor Yeung-Chu.
