Gilmore Girls Comedy Technique # 107
Have character freak out over an inconsequential matter in an excessively cute way...
example...
Female Character 1: Calm down!
Female Character 2: How can I calm down? Why are you telling me to calm down? Calming down is a theoretical impossibility. In fact, you might say I'm freaking out. I'm doing the opposite of calming down! See! See! Look at me! Look at me! Not calm! Not Calm!
We are out of artificial sweetners! Do you understand? Can you possibly understand how important that is?
Female Character 1: I never realized.
Female Character 2: Yeah, uh huh.
