Okay, I'm revealing WAY too much about myself here, but on last week's Gilmore Girls, there was some major tiki bar action. A kooky new neighbor (why are they always kooky?) moved in next to Loreli's house. When he greeted her outside, he had one of those "drink shirts" on, you know, the Hawaiian one with the tropical drinks on it? Even had a tiki on it. I thought, "Hey look, a tiki!". Later in the show they go inside his house to take care of his plants while he's away, and it's a full-on kitsch museum. At the center of it all is a tiki bar with at least 3 large tikis around it, one of them about 6 feet tall, and shelves full of tiki mugs around it. I think there was even a pufferfish lamp or a glass ball float. They stayed there a couple of minutes, showing the kitschy decor.

Sadly, I think they made some kind of Buffet reference to the decor (which is unusual since they have such smart music choices on the show), but I'm not sure who's song lyrics they were quoting in describing the decor.

Also, sadly, the guy is a creepy, annoying weirdo, which doesn't exactly put his tiki fetish in a positive light. I'm sure they will show the interior in future episodes, and it's a good show that you should be watching anyways. :D
