"Oh, right" is a running gag featured in the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. The use of this gag is, whenever, Scott Pilgrim denies having had alcohol, someone (usually Wallace Wells) reminds him of his drinking history. They typically respond by saying this, or some other variation.
History[]
The phrase was first used in Volume 1. After waking up the next morning, Wallace asks Scott if he was hungover, and Scott told him he wasn't, because he doesn't drink. Wallace told him "Oh, right", before offering him some bacon.
The line was next heard in Volume 2. After hearing about Scott's breakup with Envy, Ramona asked if he was drunk when they broke up. Scott told her he doesn't drink, and Ramona responded with "Oh, right".
Other lines are also used as reminders: In Volume 3, after he orders two gin and tonics, doubles, Ramona responded with "Woah, daddy! I thought you didn't drink!". Scott defended this action, by telling her that since Sex Bob-omb was playing that night, it was a special occasion. In Volume 6, Scott is reminded of his drinking history by Envy Adams, Sandra and Stacey Pilgrim, who all respond with "Mmm-hmm", "I thought you didn't drink, Scott!" and "Anyway, I thought you didn't drink!".
Times Scott has consumed alcohol:[]
Despite claiming to have never consumed alcohol, Scott has had alcoholic beverages before:
- It was implied he was drunk when he broke up with Envy Adams.
- In Volume 3, in order to celebrate Sex Bob-omb's opening, he orders him and Ramona two gin and tonics, doubles.
- In Volume 4, Ramona forces him to drink beer, and even though he does, he claims that it tastes yucky.
- In Volume 5, him, Kim, and Ramona all get drunk on Jose Cuervo tequila.
- In Volume 6, he orders something with "booze and ice" in it.
- Comeau reminds Scott of a time (presumably when he broke up with Envy Adams) when he got drunk on some gin and tonics (referred to by Comeau as "g's-and-t's").
