23 out. You're killing me, Smalls.

Favorite Awkward Moments!

1. Lorelai stops by Kim's Antiques. "Oh, hey, Mrs. Kim." "Hello, Lorelai. What can I do for you?" "Well, do you still have the big door knockers -- metal with the chipped red paint? [Mrs. Kim picks up a door knocker.] You're a magician. Do you know that? Oh, it's great. Isn't it big?" "And good price, seeing as how it may have belonged to James Madison. It was commonly known that James Madison liked big knockers." "I bet a lot of the founding fathers liked big knockers. ....... I'm sorry for laughing. I'd explain if I could." "It's a double entendre. I've been in this country 20 years. I get things." (Last Week Fights, This Week Tights)

2. Luke and Lorelai go to Sniffy's Tavern for their first real date. "Is this like a Mafia thing?" "Excuse me?" "The whole coming in, special table, reserved sign. Are you gonna have to whack someone before the soup course?" "No, I've filled my whacking quota for the week. [cringes] Dirty?" "Extremely." (Written in the Stars)

21. Lorelai wakes up wanting coffee after sleeping with Luke for the first time and he's too asleep to warn her not to go down to the diner. "Well, I think people are gonna know." "What? What are you talking about? [fully awake now] Why are you wearing my shirt?" "I put it on to go get coffee." "Downstairs?" "Well, you don't keep it upstairs." "The diner's open." "You're kidding!" "You walked into the diner like that?" "I didn't think the diner could open without you." "I had Caesar open." "Well, he did, with a floor show." (Written in the Stars)

A possible future list could be physical humor.

I’m thinking things like

  • Richard falling asleep at dinner
  • Michel running around the square
  • Lorelai clearing the table in the diner
  • LDGB and the “police” action during Rory’s class
  • Sookie showing Trix how she got the cut on the back of her jacket
  • Love 1

Love! That can be our next game, in fact.

Not surprisingly, our winner of Favorite Awkward Moments is -

Lorelai wakes up wanting coffee after sleeping with Luke for the first time and he's too asleep to warn her not to go down to the diner. "Well, I think people are gonna know." "What?

[fully awake now] Why are you wearing my shirt?" "I put it on to go get coffee." "Downstairs?" "Well, you don't keep it upstairs." "The diner's open." "You're kidding!" "You walked into the diner like that?" "I didn't think the diner could open without you." "I had Caesar open." "Well, he did, with a floor show." (Written in the Stars)

Not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping the 'big knockers' moment would be our grand champion, just because I personally think it's utterly hysterical, but this is a nice choice too!

Getting started on new game, keep adding scenes!

Oh, G-d, my baby." (Cinnamon's Wake)

"An all-you-can-eat glow." "He'll see the glow, he'll know we cheated, and he'll never give us extra fries again." [Luke sees them and runs inside] "Um, Mom, why did just bolt away from us?" "Maybe he saw the glow." (Here Comes the Son)

40. Paris gives Rory a tour of their new apartment, in a shady neighborhood. Doyle springs in and wrestles Paris to the ground in a practice Krav Maga match. "Aha! You let your guard down, Geller, and I did it. I got the best of you." "I was giving a tour!" "Admit your defeat!" "Never. Rematch." (The Perfect Dress)

1 - Meh. I always forget Richard falls asleep until rewatching, so obviously not that memorable. (The time he falls asleep during Paris's C-SPAN meltdown and then tells Rory they did a great job does crack me up, though.)

40 - Aw, I'm sad this is out first round! Paris and Doyle are always hysterical. Such an oddly perfect pair.

There wasn't another one that got more than one vote this round so instead of breaking a nine-way tie myself (LOL) we'll just leave it there this round. Voting against three!

18 - This will always be one of my favorite "pointless" standalone scenes. MM is so funny!

35 - Blah. The only thing I like about the multitude of Troubadours storyline is that Sam Phillips actually gets to be onscreen singing at least one time. I love that little Easter Egg.

37 - After rewatching this one for so many years the shine has worn off, but it seriously used to make me almost choke laughing that Luke was literally outside the window wrestling Dean away from the diner while Lorelai reassured Rory that the entire town was not concerned with her breakup. Hee.

Still three!

23 - What ASP finds funny and/or clever just really leaves me scratching my head sometimes. I know Connecticut isn't exactly the Bible Belt, but are we really expected to believe a town with a population of 10,000+ only has one place of worship which has to be shared by more than one religion? Um, okay.

20 - Ha ha, I like this one because you have to actually be watching for it, nothing is said or done to point to it. Really funny and totally something I would do.

34 - Stupid.

Sorry for the delay in updating. I've been really sick all weekend and spent most of it in bed.

I'm just gonna go ahead and eliminate everything that's tied.

5 - Funny, but eh.

8 - Jason's extremely uncomfortable so I have to love it, hee.

12 - I do like Logan's little speech to Rory talking her into jumping.

13 - E/R being so condescending to Luke always pisses me off.

25 - I can't with this whole storyline.

39 - Luke leaping into the diner to avoid Rory makes me laugh.

Still voting against three.
