These are all the moments in 2019 that might have slipped by you.
In a world where everything is constantly in your face, reminding you of the awful, awful world that you live in, it’s nice to know that at least something got past us this year.
RELATED STORIES
In 2020, let’s hear a lot less.
1. David Gets Four Rings
Ever wonder why Patrick from Schitt’s Creek gave David four engagement rings instead of, you know, one?
Well, it’s to match (or perhaps even replace) the four rings he always wears!
2. The Final Scene of ‘Veep’
Remember how Tom Hanks died at the end of Veep ?
Well, that was a reference to the very first joke in the series, where they were hoping that Tom Hanks would die.
3. The Smiley Face
Bet you can’t guess where this image is from…
If you said “the new Watchmen series on HBO” then yeah, you’re right. At this moment, Angela recreates the smiley face with some eggs.
4. Fork In A Garbage Disposal
You’d think it would be a sound that you would hate to hear, but it seems that Chidi from The Good Place is pretty used to it by now.
In one episode from Season 3, he complains about hearing that noise all the time.
Later, during this year, he actually heard the sound of a fork in the garbage disposal and was unphased by it.
5. The Final Opening Credits
I know it might pain you to think of this again, but in the final opening credits of the final season of Game Of Thrones , the Lannister’s lion is smashed.
6. Sansa’s Outfit
Speaking of the final season of Game Of Thrones , Sansa’s outfit once she becomes Queen Of The North has references to all the starks on it.
Enough to make us cry.
There’s a grey gown for Ned, the crown for Robb…
Black fur for Rickon, a black cloak for Jon, a scaly pattern for Catelyn, a one-sided cloak for Arya, weirwood leaves for Bran, and a sewing needle for herself.
8. The Mulan Stance
There’s a scene in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D where Melinda May takes a stance eerily similar to that of Mulan’s (on the rooftop, when she’s about to go up against Shan Yu).
Do you know what makes this easter egg ever more relevant?
Both Melinda May and Mulan are played by the same woman: Ming-Na Wen.
Guess she’s just a fan of that stance.
9. Meredith’s Hat
There’s a moment where Meredith Grey (from Grey’s Anatomy ) is off to do her community service, she’s actually wearing her old Seattle Grace Mercy West softball hat.
Throwin’ it back Mer, love it!
10. The Bird Poster in ‘Stranger Things’
There’s a bird poster from Eleven’s room from season 1.
It started out in Mike’s basement, and the next time we see it it’s in Eleven’s room. I guess she really liked it.
11. The Book After Obama
In the opening credits for The Politician , there’s a sequence where we see books about all the recent Presidents.
It goes Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton (sorry H.W.) then George Bush, then Obama…
And then after that is “The Idiot Guide To Clowning”.
Gee, I wonder who that’s supposed to represent!
And I guess the people who write The Politician don’t care if half the country watches their show.
