outie 5000

The first time I heard this was in the 1994 movie “Reality Bites”. I am sure it was used before 1994 and before ATHF. With all the movie reference in GG, I bet it was a reference to Reality Bites.

Possibly the most famous chef in the world.

A reference to...

RosemaryEmerson — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:07:56 -0800

“So, Courtney, what about you?” is a reference to Kurt Cobain’s girlfriend, and later wife, Courtney Love. Earlier in the scene in the car, Rory says to Jess, ” Do not give me that whole ‘I’m so misunderstood, Kurt Cobainy’ thing.” I think the rest explains itself…

where did you get this information?!

It is clear you are not from the New England area, as where the show is shot. (Bostonian here) The first airing of Aqua Teen Hunger Force was December 30, 2000. My friends and I used “outtie 5000” (how we spelled it) all the time for years in the early 90s. The phrase probably stopped being used in the later 90s. The phrase was definitely popular in the black community, not sure if that is why you think it originated so much later that it actually did. Taking into account michel’s race, it’s very fitting. The car thing appears to be reasonable, but the fact that Michel used it b/c of Aqua Teen Hunger force is definitely false. I googled it and see that you got that Aqua Teen info from some urban dictionary, which was likely not written by someone who actually grew up in an urban area …..Or else they wouldn’t have used a TV reference in the wrong decade. In fact ATHF was using it as a joke I guess so see who recognizes old school slang from about 10 years before ATHF was even made! …Apparently very few people know the phrase. Also I feel a true fan would know Michel’s character would never watch a show like ATHF.

The joke being made here is that “whatever” stop being used (not originated) two years ago, in this case 2005 (season 7 is from 2007). So to further pester Suki he says “outie 5000” which stop being used (not originated) about 10 years ago, say 1997. This is basically him using slang from when he was younger, much worse than “whatever”. Cracks me up! I have to say this was one of my favorite jokes out of all 7 seasons.

TimK obviously doesn’t have much of a life…i mean yeah sure…i LOVE Gilmore Girls (one reason is because i’m a GIRL) and i’m guessing the TimK isn’t a girl, so that’s one reason why he shouldn’t even be one this website…the other is because you shouldn’t sit at the computer all day on gilmore-isms.com and post stupid comments about the show…ha ha..it’s just amusing, that’s all! So…timk : GET A LIFE..

I love ya timk!

Alanis Morisette?

TimK — Sun, 06 May 2007 10:04:19 -0700

Okay. My question is: How does Lorelai know about Alanis Morisette?

Oy!

TimK — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 14:39:28 -0700

okay so i know it isn’t exactly a pop culture reference, but but me and my friends use it all the time! we all start laughing and no one knows why. Then we start laughing at their faces, so this is a good gilmore moment!

It was Jess.

TimK — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 01:32:16 -0800

Thanks, Sarah. I’ve fixed it.

Rory was upset that Jess hadn’t called…not Dean.
