Line 23: {{examples\|Works that ''reference'' The Bechdel Test (named or not), whether they pass or fail the test:}} == [[Fan Works]] == * Invoked in chapter 37 of ''[[First Times]]'' by "tealruby", a ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[DC Universe]]'' crossover featuring Hermione Granger, Green Lantern -- the "Book Club", an organization composed of the female members and associates of the Justice League, explicitly makes one of its rules "No Flunking the Bechdel Test". {{quote\|“We aren’t here to talk only about guys. Or whoever’s of interest. We’re here to talk about each other. A little discussion, fine. Relationship issues, of course. Just don’t make them the focus.”}} == [[Film]] == * The 2016 [[Gender Flip]]ped [[Continuity Reboot]] of ''[[Ghostbusters (2016 film)\|Ghostbusters]]'' passes bigtime, with a team of four [[Badass]] women who talk science, the supernatural and money, and have to deal with a male [[Dumb Blonde\|Dumb Blond]] receptionist.{{context\|reason=Do they discuss the Bechdel Test during the movie, or is this just a listing of the test's result that should be moved to the movie's Trivia subpage?}} Line 59 ⟶ 63: * In the ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' episode "Never Ricking Morty", Rick tells Morty about the test and Morty has to make up a story that passes it. Morty makes up a story that ham-handedly fits. In the story Every organism mentioned be female, Morty makes no mention of guys directly or otherwise (Summer is mentioned becoming Beth's daughter via mail delivery). == Other Media == * While she didn't call it by name, [[Lauren Faust]] referenced this trope, claiming that a focus on romantic plots and subplots is what [[Girl Show Ghetto\|ruins a lot of girl's shows]]. * ~~This blog~~ [http://disney-blog.com/2011/05/the-bechdel-test-and-disney-films/ This blog runs the Bechdel Test on several Disney and Disney/Pixar animated movies]. Roughly half pass, though older Pixar films didn't do so hot. Many Disney films have two female characters interacting not about a man, but fails to be a conversation due to [[Animal Talk\|one of the parties being an animal]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~The Bechdel Test~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Dialogue]] [[Category:Laws and Formulas]] [[Category:Double Standard]] ▲[[Category:The Bechdel Test]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Bechdel Test, The}}
