13. Lorelai and Luke decide to destroy those annoying bells together (In The Clamor and the Clangor)

Lulu, I think I covered the sock man thing in #17 :)

 

Fantastic additions, everyone! Feel free to start voting against the three you most want eliminated :0

4 (I find the blathering about the mattress so over the top and annoying..but maybe that's because I've seen TLFDAY about 100 times and know it by heart!),

6 (Relentlessly negative, believes-in-nothing-and-mocks-you-for-liking-things Luke depresses me!)

 

As Lulu noted, this is hard already!

6, 7 12

What about adding:

Luke asks Lorelai to go to a movie (LWFTWT)

Lorelai flips out when Luke tells her he moved in with Nicole (Clamor and Clangor)

Luke comes to the crapshack after the fight in the diner and takes back his his shovel (Clamor)

Also- Lorelai watches Luke watching Casablanca

6 is gone, but we have a three-way tie for those final two spots among 4, 8 and 12. Just vote for the two of those three that you most want eliminated! 

 

My votes: 4 and 8 (I think 12 is a moment of underrated, hilarious brilliance and is actually a pretty accurate description of Luke and Nicole's relationship!)

6, 8 and 12 are gone, and the next round is open! I've added in nolie's suggestions :)

I'll go with 1 (it's a nice scene in and of itself, but Luke's drunken, impulsive marriage to Nicole is just so wildly out of character IMO, and I always struggled to see that those two even mildly LIKED each other!), and since 5 and 7 are eliminated anyway, I'll go with the flow. The next round is open, and we're still voting against three!

My votes: 4, 15 and 23 (I know...I know. I just hate how they're arguing right before it. It all felt more angry and can't-they-just-get-along-for-three-seconds rather than sweetly romantic or amusing to me. I wanted their first kiss to occur at a time when they connected and felt on the same wavelength, you know?!)

4, 10 and 17 are gone, and the next round is open! (I love 10 so very much. I think it was among my top three! Oh, well...I'll use this as an excuse to rewatch TFTA for the 12 millionth time :) ) Let's make this a little less torturous by voting against just two, shall we?!

 

My votes: 15 and 22

2 is gone, but we have a three-way tie among 20, 22 and 32 for that final spot. Just vote for the one you most want eliminated! 

 

My vote: 22 (I actually kind of hate 22...my tastes tend to be really off from most people's during this round!)

She's just so childish sometimes.

 

Amen...sister friend :) I actually think 22 and 30, our two candidates for elimination, have that in common. 22 features Luke being childish, jealous, angry and petulant, and 30 features Lorelai acting the same way! People just tend to find Luke's anger, jealousy and petulance more amusing and charming than Lorelai's :) 

 

30 is gone as well, and the next round is open! My votes: 15 and 22
