Line 102:
** Sue's "You take these weird little strides when you walk as if you were raised in imperial Japan and somebody bound your feet" to Emma. Feet-binding happened in imperial ''China''. Might be intentional on the writers' part, though: it might just be Sue not knowing, not giving a damn and/or possibly getting it intentionally wrong for the sake of jerkassitude.
** A similar possibly intentional one in "Sexy":
{{quote| '''Brittany:''' Why are we sitting on the floor?<br />
'''Holly Holiday:''' Because we're in Japan. }}
*** They're sitting cross-legged. Women ''never'' sit cross-legged on the floor in Japan: men do that.
Line 195:
** Jayma Mays (Emma) once played a woman who used her pregnancy to cause discord between her ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend on [[Ugly Betty]]. Terri used her (fake) pregnancy to try to keep Will from getting too attached to Emma. Granted, there is a difference in that Henry had broken up with her before dating Betty and Will was actually married...
** Emma in episode 3:
{{quote| "They say it takes certainty more than talent to make a star. I mean, look at John Stamos."}}
** Kurt's dad says he hates Duke like he hates the Nazis in "Home". This episode came before the final 4 game where Duke beat Butler (a team from Ryan Murphy's hometown of [[Indianapolis]].
** Karofsky, in "Britney/Brittany":
{{quote| {{spoiler|[[Armoured Closet Gay|"How come all the gay guys get the hot chicks?"]]}}}}
*** Even more hilarious after {{spoiler|he and Santana become each other's [[The Beard|beards.]]}}
** When Glee first came out, Chris Colfer (Kurt) mentioned in an interview that "Kurt's [biggest fear] would be that there would be {{spoiler|school uniforms}}". Guess what happens come Season Two?
Line 207:
** Actress Amber Riley was turned down for ''[[American Idol]]'' (as in, didn't even make it on TV) before being picked up for ''Glee'', which will probably net her more fame than ''AI'' ever would.
** Santana's snarking on Kurt in episode 5:
{{quote| '''Kurt''': "Can we discuss the elephant in the room?"<br />
'''Santana''': "Your sexuality?" }}
*** Also, her comment about "gay jokes" after the glee club.
*** How about in "Silly Love Songs"? She says that kissing Finn isn't worth paying a dollar for, but she would pay to jiggle one of his "man-boobs." Of course we'd all find out later her affinity for boobs.
** Puck's line to Quinn in Season 1.
{{quote| '''I don't dig fat chicks.'''}}
** In the season two premier "Audition" Brittany states instead of being on vacation during the summer as previously believed, she had actually spent the summer lost in the sewers. Later, in the episode "Sexy", Santana tells Brittany that their hook-ups don't constitute cheating because the plumbing is different.
** It should be acknowledged that ''many'' of these occur because the writers make things up as they go along--several plot points (i.e., {{spoiler|Santana [[Suddenly Sexuality|being a lesbian]] and the [[Crack Pairing|Puck/Lauren ship]]}}) were not even dreamed of at the time of those lines being spoken.
Line 371:
* [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]: [[Up to Eleven]] due in part to the [[Love Dodecahedron]] nature of the show and a "[[Fan Dumb|passionate]]" and "[[Die for Our Ship|devoted]]" fan base. In the Glee fandom, choosing an OTP is akin to enlisting in a nation’s armed forces and marching into battle. Forums can become warzones at the drop of a dime and [[Serial Escalation|the ensuing conflicts make some of history’s bloodiest battles seem tame.]] There are actually ship alliances, spies, and even strategic initiatives for things like winning polls for a specific ships (either through spamming or [[Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|the use of bots]]) and character bashing.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: {{spoiler|Kurt and Blaine}} showed shades of this in "The Substitute," particularly from the point of view from anyone not on that side of the ship war.
{{quote| "Gay, gay, gay, gay..."}}
** And not just in that episode; ''Original Song'' will have non-Klainers gagging because of the amount of [[Tastes Like Diabetes]].
** Even some ''Klaine fans'' think they're getting over-the-top, considering that the [[Dark Fic]], [[Fix Fic]], and [[Deconstruction Fic]] on ''any fanfiction archive'' far outnumber standard romance. (Of course, other people are frankly relieved to see a teen gay romance that isn't [[Bury Your Gays|horribly]] [[Gayngst|angst-ridden]] in prime-time.)
Line 391:
** Which is...?
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: The Rachel/Kurt friendship scenes come across this way to some. For roughly the first half of Season 1, they were frenemies, and their rivalry included struggles for solos and for Finn. Then, they made up and became friends, which would fine except that there were some who actually enjoyed their previous rivalry. And even the people who ''liked'' seeing Kurt and Rachel as friends eventually started to feel like their scenes together started getting [[Tastes Like Diabetes|overly-sappy]] and repetitive. To elaborate, the standard formula for a Kurt/Rachel scene basically started to become the following:
{{quote| ''"You're so talented!" "No, '''you're''' so talented!" *cue [[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]] song* *hug*''}}
** ''Many'' Aesops and character-to-character moments come across this way to some people. The Kurt/Rachel interaction may be the biggest, [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] instigator, but there are arguably a lot of others.
* [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs]]: ''Fame'' on uppers. Or maybe hallucinogens. Alternately, ''[[High School Musical]]'' off its antidepressants.
