Brewed a small batch and put into small glass 1 gallon jug and when I went to push the stopper down I pushed a little too hard and it shot straight through and into the jug. After trying for about 2 minutes to get it out I couldnt. I was in a huge rush to leave and was holding others up so Ihad to just leave it. So my question is will it have a flavor because its been in there during fermentation. Also any tips on how to get it out?
Pushed a stopper through glass carboy, what now?

Works like a champ for bungs and carboys.
I've done this myself. This is a quick and easy solution.
Do it after the beer is fermented and racked to your keg/bottling bucket. Ignore it till then.

I've done this before; it works. Use a tea towel or something thin.
This is truth. As for worry: Don't. A lot of us (Hi there!) have done this. My barleywine that aged on the stopper for 6 months tasted just fine.
Every time something like this is posted, I am reminded of one of the greatest threads in this site's history. It was like this site's version of "balloon boy".
The link, and please don't spoil the end for others....

That's outstanding! Reminds me of my favorite, what I refer to as the parrot post:
