    • Emily: Can we please talk about something other than food? Lorelai: Starvation. Scurvy. The Donner Party. The Donner party was a group of settlers traveling to California from the winter of 1846-1847. They were trapped in the mountains without food and eventually resorted to cannibalism to survive.
    • Rory:(referring to Paris's getting Logan bedpans) They're just there to help and watch you. Logan: Or reenact their favorite scenes from Misery. Misery is a movie made in 1990 based off a Steven King book about an author who is taken care of by his "number one fan" of his book's main character, Misery.
    • Lorelai: Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Onassis, I was looking for my mother. Lorelai is making a joke about Emily's sunglasses which are similar in style to those Jackie Kennedy-Onassis used to wear.
    • Doyle: They're just about to reunite with their husbands and I would love to get the full surround experience. Logan: Who? Doyle: The penguins. You haven't seen the penguin movie? Paris: The penguin movie rocks. Doyle: It will move you, my friend. The movie Paris and Doyle are watching while guarding Logan was the documentary March of the Penguins (2005).
    • Lorelai: How can you possibly say she looks better with the dark hair? Rory: She did. The blonde just seemed like she was trying to be her sister. Lorelai: The dark hair makes it look like she's trying too hard not to look like her sister. Plus, she does not have the nose for dark hair. Rory: What does that mean? Lorelai: Dark hair is like a giant light-up arrow pointing to what is wrong with you. Blonde hair-- it all sort of blends in a haze of beige. Lorelai and Rory are referring to Ashlee and Jessica Simpson. Ashlee has dyed her hair from blonde to dark, and back to blonde, so she is similar to her blonde sister Jessica. It could be argued that the Gilmores may be talking about Nicky Hilton, who died her hair from blonde to dark, and now back to blonde to match her sister Paris, but it seems to be a debate on how Ashlee's career is more affected by whether she looks like Jessica or doesn't.
    • Episode Title: Driving Miss Gilmore A pun on the 1989 movie Driving Miss Daisy. This movie starring Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy. One episode on Related is an other allusion to Driving Miss Daisy - "Driving Miss Crazy" (2005).
