"Basket, basket-maker, guy who didn't bring enough money."
One of my all-time favorite comfort shows is Gilmore Girls. No matter how much time has passed, it's always nice to return to Stars Hollow.

We don't talk about A Year in the Life, okay?
To this day, there are a lot of debates over who Rory should have ended up with. However, I think most of us can agree that Dean Forester was definitely not the guy for her.
The WB
Sorry, Dean. You made some points in Season 1, but after that...you had to go.
On the show, Dean was usually painted as the "perfect first boyfriend." However, upon my rewatch, I've noticed that there were a few occasions where he got humbled a bit.
E!
So, without further ado, here are 19 times Dean was roasted on Gilmore Girls:
🚨 Warning: Spoilers ahead!!! 🚨
1. When Lorelai shut this energy down reallyyy quickly:
The WB
2. When Rory literally bolted from their breakfast date to make it to school on time, and Luke couldn't help himself:
The WB
3. When Jess delivered the greatest roast of all time:
The WB
4. And when he pretty much perfectly summed up Dean's character here with "tall and mad":
The WB
I know Jess was also being a total jerk in this episode, but come on. It was pretty funny.
5. When Rory didn't exactly give Dean the response he was hoping for:
The WB
6. When he didn't understand why Lorelai and Rory thought The Donna Reed Show was sexist, and they said it all with a look:
The WB
As you should, Dean. As you should.
7. When Jess roasted him harder than a Sunday night dinner:
The WB
8. When Richard wasn't interested in shaking hands before dinner:
The WB
To be fair, Richard was being totally awful and rude in this episode. However, this scene still makes me laugh.
9. When the only nice thing Lorelai could think of to say about Dean was that he was tall enough to reach the water bottle:
The WB
10. When he made a huge stink over Rory focusing on school instead of spending all of her time with him, and she told him to stop being a baby:
The WB
11. When Dean tried to go to Luke's diner the morning after he broke up with Rory, and Luke was not here for it:
The WB
Okay, Luke definitely should not have put his hands on Dean. Still, "turn around, bag boy" makes me cackle.
12. When Louise had this very relatable reaction to Rory and Dean as a couple:
The WB
13. When Tristan was not a fan:
The WB
Okay, so Tristan was obviously the bigger jerk here. But still. "We're just about to build a clubhouse" is pretty funny.
14. When Lorelai told Luke that Dean and Rory broke up, and Luke was very obviously #TeamJess:
The WB
15. When Dean and Rory got back together for some stupid reason during their college years, and Paris had the perfect words:
The WB
16. When Luke was NOT excited about double dating with Rory and Dean:
The WB
17. And when he pretty much summed up all of my feelings about Dean's character from Season 2 onwards:
The WB
18. When he tried to fight Jess over Rory and Jess was just like, "this is embarrassing for you":
The WB
19. And finally, when Luke dropped this zinger:
The WB
