Lorelai & Lauren Graham Love George Clooney
June 10, 2010 2 Comments
In ‘You’ve Been Gilmored‘, Rory complains about Lorelai’s love for George Clooney:
“Yeah, the story is you calling yourself Mrs. Clooney for two and a half hours.”
This is a fun piece of trivia because, in 2001, Lauren Graham appeared on Letterman and told a story about how she once had a fleeting thought that “George Clooney wants me.” Check out the story just under 6 minutes into the below interview:

Passing of a Pop Culture Reference
June 5, 2010 2 Comments
This week, sad news that Rue McClanahan passed away. Rue was best known for her role of Blanche on that “other” GG, Golden Girls. April pointed out to me on Twitter that Gilmore Girls once made a reference to her, in Season 1′s ‘Rory’s Dance.‘
In the scene, Lane tries to convince Rory to take her “boyfriend,” Dean, to the dance. Rory insists that he’s her “gentleman caller”, not her boyfriend. To which Lane replies, “OK, Blanche.”
So, here passes another pop culture reference. RIP Rue.
Copper Boom!
December 9, 2009 Leave a Comment
In ‘The Lorelais’ First Day at Yale‘, we are introduced to a new pop culture phrase: “Copper Boom.” At the start of the episode, Rory is packing her makeup, asking herself “When did I become one of those girls with dozens of beauty products, none of which are expendable? It used to be a touch of mascara, dab of Coppertone, zip, bam, boom, out the door.” However, Lorelai heard “copper and boom,” which they then turn into their own catch phrase.
Well, Lorelai makes it a catch phrase. Later, she says “Copper Boom”, saying it’s what Rory had said to her when she was trying to speed her up. Obviously that wasn’t what was being said, but now they have a phrase which means “to hurry up” or to “get to it.”. It’s even in the urban dictionary and there’s also a t-shirt designed around it!
Here’s the scene where Lorelai first uses the phrase:

Have you ever said “copper boom”?

Gilmore Girls in Quotable TV Quips
September 13, 2009 Leave a Comment
Entertainment Weekly recently put out a list of “30 Endlessly Quotable TV Quips” which includes one of my Gilmore Girls favorites.
At #27 in the list is Lorelai Gilmore’s “Oy with the poodles already!”
The phrase originated in season 2, and it’s a phrase Gilmore Girls fans the world over have fallen in love with. Heck, there are even products dedicated to this quote!
Lauren Graham once admitted to having forgotten the quote, saying that she gets confused when fans come up to her saying it!
I know that I have said this quote a few times – have you?!
Thanks Michael! ; Image: CafePress
Gilmore Girls Trivia: What Luke Bought
June 20, 2008 Leave a Comment
Time for more Gilmore Girls trivia! First, the results from our last trivia question. Name a lip gloss flavor that was NOT in Lorelai’s purse in the pilot episode?
- Cherry 150 – 40% of all votes
- Toasted Marshmallow 62 – 17% of all votes
- Strawberry 78 – 21% of all votes
- Vanilla 83 – 22% of all votes
Total Votes: 373
The correct answer is Cherry – the majority are right! When Rory asks for lip gloss, Lorelai pulls out her makeup bag saying:
"I have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and toasted marshmallow"
When Rory asks if anything in there doesn’t resemble a breakfast cereal, Lorelai pulls out another bag with a lipgloss that has no smell but "changes colors with your mood."
