Legally Blonde (theatre)/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

I was listening to the soundtrack of Legally Blonde: The Musical and realized that Elle's sorority sisters are a modernized version of the Greek Chorus. What is another name for fraternities and sororities? The Greek System. -- Cyberbanjo
- That's not fridge, that's intentional--the sorority sisters actually lampshade it, though the line's not on the soundtrack.
When Paulette's describing what happened to everyone in the Where Are They Now? Epilogue, she mentioned that Emmett was Callahan's wife's attorney for their divorce. This is nice and karmic for Callahan, and nice for Emmett to get his revenge…but then you realize that a divorce case for the wife of a man who owns a billion dollar law firm would be a pretty lucrative trial. His mom probably got the big house on the cape!

One thing that's always bothered this troper is that in the 'Gay or European?' sequence, nobody ever seems to suggest that maybe the dude is bi. I mean, sure, they use the fact that he has a boyfriend to confirm he's into dudes, but it's not unheard of for bisexuals to be dating one gender and have affairs with the other. (Personally, I've always just chalked it up to time limits only allowing a certain amount of logic, but it still somewhat bothers me...)
- Well, his boyfriend Carlos has the line "I swear he never ever ever swing the other way!" so that may have been their way of covering it.
- And the reason Elle thought he was gay to begin with is that he didn't react to the bend and snap. Which still doesn't prove anything (it's only 99% effective, after all), but that supports her hypothesis that he's not interested in women.
- Also, the Camp Gay stereotypes that the sequence is based on aren't generally attributed to bisexuals.
