Funny / Gossip Girl (2007)

aka: Gossip Girl

• "The only way this is going to work is by some act of God."
• A Gossip Girl aside in 2x02: "What's this? Chuck's date and Blair's date are mother and son? And Nate and Blair are exes? And Nate and the mother are in a book club?"
• Chuck and Blair's plot in episode 303. From Blair's reaction to finding Dan in bed with Georgina ("I'm wearing a glove and I still want to wash my hands!") to their bidding war at the auction. And of course, "She stole my shoes?"
  • Especially when it makes it hugely clear that Blair is giving Chuck a handjob.
• After Blair loses her virginity to Chuck, she goes to a Catholic priest for confession to get advice.
  Blair: Truthfully I'm not even Catholic.
  Priest: You don't say.
• In season one when the NJBC tries to get Serena to open up about her horrible secret by pointing out that all of them have done bad things. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome for Chuck.
  Blair: I had sex with [Chuck] in the back of a limo.
  Chuck: Several times.
  Nate: And I had sex with [Serena] at a wedding, when I was [Blair's] date. (glares at Chuck) Once.
  Chuck: I'm Chuck Bass.
• Dan and Eric's first attempt to break the peace treaty between Chuck and Blair, which crashes and fails so spectacularly it qualifies as an Epic Fail. Dan walks into Chuck's house, awkwardly pretends to be there to see Nate, then stumbles through saying that Blair slept with Jack (again) and that he should get revenge by offering protection to Jenny. Blair casually walks out of the shadows and says "You're about six months too late, Humphrey." She and Chuck then sit down and casually patronize him while sipping whiskey.
  • And, later, everyone mentioning their guesses as to Blair's biggest secret. Eric: Something a little bit more American Psycho. Not stabbing a homeless man, but at least feeding a cat to an ATM. Penelope: A Jack Bass sex tape! Tiffany: Nelly Yuki snuff film? They're all wrong: it's Blair getting on stage drunkenly while at a concert with Chuck, to sing Stand By Your Man.
• Serena's rebellion against Bart. "Oh, I forgot to put on underwear!"
• Georgina Sparks running into Chuck at Oh My Jesus Christ camp.
  Georgina: Chuck Bass! (excited hug) Have you been saved too?
• Serena, with near idol worship, declaring: "I didn't know that you could cook" when Nate shoves a waffle in a toaster.
• Dan singing to Milo:
  Dan: (in song) This loft is your loft. This loft is my loft. Where's your Aunt Jenny? She moved to Hudson. She... wears leggings...
• Blair and Chuck negotiating a peace treaty... for about five hours whilst Nate and Serena look on in astonishment.
• After the last episode ended with crazy hate sex with Blair and Chuck on a piano. The next episode opens with...Blair in her bed. Alone. Serena came in for a brief conversation, during which Blair casually remarks that she hates it when the duvet puffs up. Serena leaves and the covers are thrown back to reveal Chuck.
• When Blair gets an internship for a fashion magazine, she goes in expecting the job to be hers. She's thrown when she finds a half-dozen other girls, trying to explain to the editor that "you don't understand. I'm Blair Waldorf." She's told that "every girl here was the Blair Waldorf of her school." The look on Blair's face that anyone could be like her was priceless.
• The Dean turning to Vanessa and going, "Excuse me, who are you?"
• This exchange when Chuck has been caught getting high on school property:
  Headmistress Queller: I found Charles smoking marijuana on school property.
  Chuck: It was hash actually. I find it gives a softer high.
  Jack: (nodding) Right. (to Queller) The evidence seems questionable.
• Jack in the second last episode of the fourth season. During a tense, emotional scene, he keeps wandering in and out with wonderful pithy comments:
  Jack: Can we just call the cops? I'm hungry. And all you seem to have are olives and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
• This exchange:
  Blair: New minion!
  New Minion: Emily!
  Dorota: She has no time to care.
• Blair gets so overwhelmed with work while trying to attend Columbia full-time, working at W and keeping up a social life that she tries to take a sip of coffee from a pencil cup.
  • Also from that episode, Serena comes in and says she needs Blair's help with a scheme and Dan, who's been trying to convince Blair to either ask for help, not just farming it out to her minions, or give up the job because of the stress, he backs out of the room when Blair agrees to help Serena.
  Dan: This just went from Woman On The Verge to Saw II and I don't like gore porn.
• Blair taking down Georgina: "Haven't you heard? I'm the crazy bitch around here."
• "Eric's stalking his crush." "It's not stalking if you know them!"
• Dorota has Blair's Prom dress.
  Dorota: I have good news and bad news. Which do you want?
  Blair: Good news first. Always
  Dorota: There is replacement.
  Blair: What are you talking about?
  Dorota: It makes more sense if you pick bad news first.
• Chuck and Blair at the brothel, supposedly looking for a room.
  Blair: Any dark small space will do! Closet, attic, the wine cellar... the whole house! Every room, even the occupied ones!
  Chuck: She likes to watch.
  (later)
  Blair: Well the dumbwaiter has potential, but it may be be too cramped.
  Chuck: One of us would have to stand.
• William's final put-down of Ivy: "You're a Lifetime movie: No One Gives a Damn: The Ivy Dickens Story."
• Eric walks into the room while Rufus and Lily are kissing passionately.
  "I'd say 'get a room', but yours is right above mine. Remember that."
• Lily and Chuck bonding...by trying to take down Jack Bass. Chuck has a list of options.
  Chuck: If your people don't come up with anything, we can try number 26.
  Lily: (checking the list) Crash Jack in plane? The Bass jet is kind of expensive.
  Chuck: There's insurance.
