15 Brilliant TV Callbacks To Past Episodes
[ad_1]
The song Lorelai and Luke from Gilmore Girls dance to on their first date is the same song that plays when they get married in the revival.
We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us a time a TV show made an awesome callback. Here are the great responses.
1.
On The Office, Dwight explains his family’s very specific wedding tradition, and we see it in action seasons later.
2.
Also on The Office, the George Foreman grill that Michael burns his foot on in Season 2 is in the Season 4 episode “Dinner Party”. He likes to wake up to the smell of bacon, so, naturally, the grill must be by his bed.
3.
On Breaking Bad, Saul Goodman says his best case scenario for the future, and on Better Call Saul, we see that scenario come true.
4.
The pilot and the finale of Lost mimic each other, with Jack laying face-up in the jungle in both episodes.

5.
The pink dress Alexis wears in the first episode of Schitt’s Creek is the same dress she takes back from Twyla in the penultimate episode.
6.
On Supernatural, Castiel leaves the scar of a handprint on Dean’s shoulder, and he leaves a bloody handprint in the same spot when he sacrifices himself seasons later.
7.
Chidi from The Good Place talks about how he would never be able to enter a door without knowing what’s on the other side, but that’s exactly what he does in the finale.
8.
This one is more of a running thing than a callback, but the full name of one of Joey’s ex-girlfriends is said multiple times in different seasons of Friends.
9.
The song Lorelai and Luke from Gilmore Girls dance to on their first date is the same song that plays when they get married in the revival.
10.
On Superstore, Cheyenne loses her green hair thingy, and she finds it again after the tornado hits the store.

11.
In the New Girl series finale, Jess brings out a bunch of old stuff – from the show – that’s still in the loft. It’s not a subtle callback, but it’s still very wonderful.

12.
Also on New Girl, and also not subtle but still wonderful, the glass Schmidt breaks at his and Cece’s wedding is the douchebag jar.

13.
In the first season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Jake tries to annoy a suspect into confessing by screaming and playing guitar at him. He does it again in Season 5.
14.
On The West Wing, Josh wears the way-too-big pajamas that CJ gave him again in a later episode.
15.
And finally, in the pilot and the finale of Seinfeld, Jerry and George essentially have identical conversations.
