"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:

Luke talking to dean in the diner

The WB

3. When Jess delivered the greatest roast of all time:

Jess saying, "basket, basket-maker, guy who didn't bring enough money"

The WB

4. And when he pretty much perfectly summed up Dean's character here with "tall and mad":

Jess saying dean is "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:

Dean says, "i love you," rory says, "i love the car"

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:

Jess tells rory, "wait so you can't control when you look at me, but you have to force yourself to look at him? sorry man, that's cold"

The WB

8. When Richard wasn't interested in shaking hands before dinner:

Richard doesn't shake hands with dean at 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:

Lorelai defends dean to richard by saying, "he changes a mean 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:

Rory tells dean he's acting like "he's two"

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:

Luke stops dean from going into the diner after he breaks up with rory

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:

Louise saying she's bored talking to rory and dean

The WB

13. When Tristan was not a fan:

Tristan saying he and dean are about to build a clubhouse

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:

Luke is happy when lorelai tells him rory and dean broke up because of jess

The WB

15. When Dean and Rory got back together for some stupid reason during their college years, and Paris had the perfect words:

Paris telling rory, "you're back with farmer boy? what gives?"

The WB

16. When Luke was NOT excited about double dating with Rory and Dean:

Luke is unhappy about the double date 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:

Luke telling lorelai that dean isn't right for rory

The WB

18. When he tried to fight Jess over Rory and Jess was just like, "this is embarrassing for you":

Jess telling dean, "it feels like i'm with rory, and you're not"

The WB

19. And finally, when Luke dropped this zinger:

Luke telling lorelai about dean that "he's a punk, that's what i remember"

The WB
