In the episode “A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving,” in reference to Wes Craven.
PARIS: My Thanksgiving is turning into a Wes Craven movie.
RORY: How so?
PARIS: I called shelters to volunteer to serve food. Its Thanksgiving – you’d think they have needs. Nope. Every stupid soup kitchen in town turned me down because they have enough volunteers.
MADELINE: Bummer.
PARIS: I’m on a couple waiting lists, but it doesn’t look good.
In the episode “Back in the Saddle Again,” in reference to Waiting for Godot.

LORELAI: It’s gonna get cold.
EMILY: We are waiting for your father.
LORELAI: We’ve been waiting forever.
EMILY: We have not been waiting forever!
LORELAI: Forever. Godot was just here. He said, “I ain’t waiting for Richard,” grabbed a roll and left. It’s been forever!
In the episode “Face-Off,” in reference to A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.
ZACK (singing): A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing. (stops singing) Dude, what’s a bulwark?
BRIAN: What?
ZACK: It says, “A bulwark never failing.”
BRIAN: I think it’s a wall.
ZACK: Then why don’t they just say that? Bulwark sounds totally gay.
BRIAN: I don’t think you’re supposed to call a hymn gay. It’s like a sin or something.
ZACK: Whatever, man. I’m not saying bulwark.
In the episode “A Family Matter,” in reference to May-December romances.
RORY: Well you gotta choose Paris, because this is becoming pretty clear that the whatever you want to call it with the professor is not a short-lived thing.
PARIS: I’d say that’s accurate, and you can just call him Asher.
RORY: No, he’s my teacher, so I think I’ll stick with “professor.”
PARIS: “Professor” just makes him sound old.
RORY: He is old.
PARIS: He’s sixty. Today’s sixty is what fifty was twenty years ago, and he’s got the body of a forty year old.
RORY: I really don’t want to talk about his body.
PARIS: I’m not denying that we’ve got a May-December romance going on here.
RORY: This is not May-December, this is… May… Ming Dynasty!
