Line 4:
** Indeed a [[It Makes Sense in Context|fencing duel]] between Rory and Paris in season 3 makes Paris seem like a spurned lover.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Logan
* [[
** "I just had a dream that Madeline Albright was my mother."
** Logan, Colin, and Finn's interruption of Rory's class in "Not As Cute As Pushkin."
* [[Black Sheep]]
** Lauren Graham corrects the host a few times because she has obviously never sat down to watch an episode.
* [[Canon Sue]]: Both Lorelai and Rory (but especially Rory), to a great extent. They seem to be approved of and admired by almost everybody, and if occasionally a character fails to do so, they are represented as being either weird and unintelligent or plain malicious.
Line 13:
*** Similarly, Dean started off as a well-read, working-class guy, a fan of Hunter S. Thomson and completely capable of talking to Rory about books. Her book-fetish was implied to be what attracted him to her in the first place. By the end of the series, he's established as no where near as intelligent as the other main characters, without ambition, depth, or even any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
** Rory's Sue qualities even led her to get into Harvard over Paris, who's only flaw in applying appeared to be a really bad interview. In reality, interviews don't count for much in admission to Harvard. Also, Paris having a list of extracurriculars from childhood to college a mile-long (including adopting a dolphin) should really have made up for that. But of course only one of them could get in and it had to be Rory.
* [[Creator's Pet]]
** Jess hijacks Rory's copy of ''Howl'' and jots his notes all over in the margins. She seems to find this interesting. Many fans thought it was sweet. Some fans, however, were outraged that he had defiled a book that wasn't his, without permission.
** Whenever April wasn't on screen, the other characters ''loved'' to talk about how pretty and smart April was or how she was exactly like Rory, when sadly the actress didn't have most of the charm that Alexis Bledel had in the early seasons.
** [[Base Breaker|Logan]] is supposed to be an incredibly likable guy, despite often coming across more as a [[Smug Snake]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Kirk
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]
* [[Fan Disservice]]
** And that wasn't even the first time Kirk was partially nude. He appeared nude (covered by a pillow) in one of the finales and, according to the show's creator, fans responded positively... even more shuddering.
*** Though the actor himself has never mentioned his condition, the general consensus among fans is that Sean Gunn has pectus excavatum; which is literally a sunken chest. The fact that he was brave enough to go shirtless on a popular TV show seems like more of a [[Take That]] to the media's beauty standards more than anything else.
*** Noted in-universe by Rory.
{{quote|
'''Rory''': Haunted by the sight of Kirk's bare chest. }}
** Paris in large sweaters and shirts designed to downplay her bust (and of course, play up Rory), which overwhelmed the real-life zaftig figure of Liza Weil; many are surprised to know she is well-endowed and curvy when she appears in other roles.
*** Your mileage may vary on that, especially as they had more opportunities to make Rory look sexier and didn't (ex. the beach). Then again, it's possible that by then, they had just given up.
* [[Flanderization]]
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: In a Season One episode "Rory's Dance," Rory and Dean leave a Chilton party early, and then spend time walking around Stars Hollow before they accidentally fall asleep in Miss Patty's studio. When Rory returns home the next morning, an angry Lorelai makes a crack about Rory and Dean sleeping together on Patty's yoga mats. Fast forward to the first episode of Season Five, "Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller." When {{spoiler|Rory and Dean sneak off to have sex for the second time}}, guess where they meet?
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Remember when Rory threatened Christopher to stay away from Lorelai to keep her relationship with Luke safe? Yeah... Guess which relationship gets derailed in a few episodes.
** Lorelai delivers a preemptive [[Take That]] speech about how upper class youth feel entitled to everything and can do anything they want. {{spoiler|Rory steals a yacht at the end of season 5 and isn't on speaking terms with her mother for about half a season}}.
* [[Jumped the Shark]]
** The CW forcing out the show's creator and her husband if none of those did it for you.
* [[Les Yay]]
** Paris lurks behind Rory's shadow so much in seven years (making sure she knows she must always remain second in grades, begging Rory to get her into the student sorority, having her be her student body president, come with her to Washington, has spoken dreams about political sexual foibles in Rory's midst, edits with her on the paper, swings things around at Yale so Rory must share a room with her, sharing every detail of her sex life with the girl...need we go on?) she might as well be a [[Stalker
*** Paris and Rory share a [[Sweeps Week Lesbian Kiss|kiss on Spring Break]] (although it took place a month before sweeps in actuality). This was [[Foreshadowing|foreshadowed]] way back in episode 1.11 ("Paris is Burning"). After Paris has caught Lorelai kissing Max Medina, she says to Rory "You're not going to kiss me, are you?" Also, in episode 2.9 ("Run Away, Little Boy"), Tristan and Rory are set to play Romeo and Juliet in a school project, and Tristan spends most of the episode taunting Dean about how he's going to be kissing Rory on stage. At the last moment Tristan is sent to military school, and Paris takes over the role (but chickens out of kissing Rory on that occasion).
*** And then in season seven Paris gets her own Stalker with a Crush in Lucy.
Line 40:
** Madeline and Louise learn that they can manipulate boys by kissing each other during their freshman year of college.
* [[Magnificent Bitch]]: Trix
* [[Scrappy]]
** Later on, April, who found out [[I Am Your Father|Luke was her father]] via a speedy DNA test that would have [[Maury]] and every [[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]] technician question how she got her results in less than a week.
** Logan.
* [[So Okay It's Average]]
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: We're supposed to see Lorelai's parents as uptight, judgmental rich people, but they are often right about her irresponsibility.
** We're also supposed to think Mitchum is a heartless monster for telling Rory "[she] don't got it" to make it as a journalist, except that he's completely right.
