  • Opening examples, not declared as a pick: Olive lands the most quips; Stone allegedly improvised the line about not being "the gossip girl in Sweet Valley of the Traveling Pants", stacking tropes; the different ways she refers to gossip are bangers.
  • Also offered as an example: Mr. Griffith's Facebook rant, "I can assure you they're not all diamonds", about Roman's Coke Zero; "Someone had to say it."
  • Unsure of a single pick, one host notes Olive's lines are dense references that would sound annoying out of context but are funny from Stone.
  • Declared pick: the bookstore clerk putting the Bible "in bestsellers right next to Twilight", enjoyed partly because the clerk was also in Twilight, a fact the speaker would share only after the movie ends.
  • Favorite Olive quip: gossip as "the accelerated velocity of terminological inexactitude".
