Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Funny

Season 1
"Xander: I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away."
 * Welcome to the Hellmouth (1x01)
 * Xander's entrance which cements his Butt Monkey status.
 * Witch (1x03)

"Giles: Xander's taken to teasing the less fortunate? Buffy: Uh-huh. Giles: And there's a noticeable change in both clothing and demeanor? Buffy: Yes. Giles: And, well, otherwise all his spare time is spent lounging about with imbeciles. Buffy: It's bad, isn't it? Giles: It's devastating. He's turned into a sixteen year old boy. Of course, you'll have to kill him."
 * Buffy has several funny moments in the early stages of having Catherine's Bloodstone Vengeance spell cast on her, such as perkily singing "Macho Man" in front of a bewildered Joyce.
 * The Pack (1x06):

"Moloch The Corrupter: [A demon, who has been released into the Internet, tries to turn Willow]"
 * I Robot, You Jane (1x08):

"Buffy: Hey, did you forget? The one boy I've had the hots for since I've moved here turned out to be a vampire. Xander: Right, and the teacher I had a crush on? Giant praying mantis? Willow: That's true. Xander: Yeah, that's life on the Hellmouth. Buffy: Let's face it: none of us are ever gonna have a happy, normal relationship. Xander: We're doomed! Willow: Yeah! *All laugh, then stop as what they're saying sinks in. They sit in quiet realization until the credits roll*"
 * The ending. Funny enough at the time, tragically hilarious in hindsight.

"Snyder: "Kids today need discipline. That's an unpopular word these days, discipline. I know Principal Flutie would have said, 'Kids need understanding. Kids are human beings.' That's the kind of woolly-headed, liberal thinking that leads to being eaten.""
 * The Puppet Show (1x09):
 * Principal Snyder cracked me up repeatedly in this, his introductory episode. I don't know whether it was his deadpan delivery or his cynical portrayal of kids. It was probably his berating the late former principal's school policies and his horrible fate of being eaten, though. Regardless, his were most the lines in that episode worthy of remembrance.

"Snyder: There are things I will not tolerate. Students loitering on campus after school. Horrible murders with hearts being removed. And also smoking."
 * Another gem from Snyder:

"Snyder: There are no dead students here. This week."
 * "Does anyone else feel like we've been Keyser Soze'd?"
 * The "Oedipus Rex" scene over the end—especially when Willow freezes and then bolts.
 * Xander pretending to make Sid yell "Red rum! RED RUUUUUM!"
 * Out of Mind, Out of Sight: (1x11):

"Cordelia: People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like this time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of my life, and she's trying to make it about her leg! Like my pain meant nothing."

"Giles: I've never actually heard of anyone attacked by a lone baseball bat before. Xander: Maybe it's a vampire bat. (everyone stares at him) ...I'm alone on that one, huh?"
 * Xander's Incredibly Lame Pun regarding a student having seemingly been attacked by a sentient baseball bat (this is prior to the gang discovering that the culprit is the invisible girl, Marcie):

"Snyder: (to Buffy) And you need to stay away from the crime scene. Always sticking your nose in. Willow: Sue? What did you say? Mitch was gonna sue the school? Snyder: Sue? Who? Xander: Well, his dad is the most powerful lawyer in Sunnydale. Snyder: Hold on. What have you two heard? Xander: His dad, the lawyer. You haven't heard of him? Willow: Other lawyers call him 'The Beast'."
 * Willow and Xander distract Snyder so Buffy can sneak past him to investigate the locker room:

"Snyder: Don't sue."
 * This also comes up later, after Marcie pushes Harmony down the stairs, breaking the latter's ankle:

"Cordelia: Buffy, I, uh, I, I know we've had our differences, with you being so weird and all, and hanging out with these total losers... Well, anyway, despite all of that, I know that you share this feeling that we have for each other, deep down... Willow: Nausea?"
 * When Cordelia eventually turns to the Scoobies for help:

"The Master: What do you think? 5.1?"
 * Nightmares (1x10):
 * Cordelia's nightmares, getting horrifically frizzy hair and being forcibly conscripted into the chess club.
 * Prophecy Girl (1x12):
 * The Master. During an earthquake, the Master gives a hammish monologue about how it is a sign of the apocalypse. When it is done, he turns to the Anointed One, and does what any Californian would do after an earthquake:


 * "That's cool. I'm going to go home, lay down and listen to country music... the music of pain."

Season 2
"Snyder: There are some things I can just smell. It's like a sixth sense. Giles: No, actually, that would be one of the five."
 * "When She Was Bad" (2x01):

"Giles: Grave robbing? That's new. Interesting. Buffy: I know you meant to say gross and disturbing. Giles: Yes, of course. Terrible thing. Must put a stop to it... dammit."
 * "I hate that girl."
 * Buffy being bitchy to Cordelia: "Cordelia, your mouth is open, sound is coming from it. This is never good."
 * "Some Assembly Required" (2x02):
 * Buffy tells Giles while on patrol, she and Angel found some empty graves:

"Xander: Okay, that's it. I'm putting a collar with a little bell on that guy."
 * "School Hard" (2x03):
 * After Angel splits suddenly and soundlessly from the library again:

"Xander: Angel Angel Angel. Does every conversation we have have to come around to that freak? Angel appears right behind him. Xander, seamlessly: Hey man, how you doing? Angel: Buffy. Buffy: Angel. Xander, in a deep voice: Xander."
 * "Reptile Boy" (2x05)

"Buffy: (shamefacedly) I told one lie. I had one drink. Giles: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words "let that be a lesson" are a tad redundant at this juncture."
 * The whole time this exchange is happening Xander is busy reading a newspaper. Nicholas Brendon's delivery absolutely seals it.
 * Also this, after the gang rescues Buffy from the frat house party turned attempted human sacrifice:

"Cordelia: What's with you? Take a pill! Lady Buffy: (cowering behind a garbage can, pointing at Angel) He's... he's a vampire! Cordelia: (turns to Angel with a "Can you believe this idiot?" expression on her face) She's got this thing where- (turns back to Buffy, continues in the most cheerfully insincere tone of voice you have ever heard) It's okay. Angel is a good vampire. He would never hurt you. Lady Buffy: R-really? Cordelia: Absolutely. He's our friend!"
 * "Halloween" (2x06)
 * Cordelia's veering directly into Accidental Truth when dealing with Buffy's costume-induced 'Lady Useless' medieval persona, who she believes is freaking out over nothing. Noteworthy that Cordelia has no idea who Angel is at this point in time:

"Willow: She couldn't have dressed as Xena?"
 * Willow's own commentary on Buffy's costume choices:

"Buffy: (sits up, does a dramatic Hair Flip) Hi honey, I'm home. (proceeds to beat Spike's ass)"
 * Ending in Buffy's own commentary when the spell wears off just as 'Lady Useless' is about to be assaulted by Spike:

"Angel: These people don't know anything about vampires. What they are, how they live, how they dress...
 * "Lie to Me" (2x07)
 * Angel laments the shallow vampire fanboys:
 * Cue a teen walking past in an outfit identical to his*"

"Spike (after Ford walks into the factory): Do I have anyone on watch? It's called security, people! Are you all asleep? Beat Or have we finally found a restaurant that delivers?"

"So you going to talk about something else at some point?"
 * Ted (2x11)
 * Angel is having his hand wrapped up in gauze, but the pained expression he has is from Buffy complaining about Ted. When she says she's sick of everyone talking about him, before playing sweetheart Angel gets this dig in.

"Willow: The sad thing is, the real Ted must have been a genius. There were design features in that robot that predate- Buffy: (horrified) Willow, tell me you didn't keep any parts. Willow: ... well, not any big ones? Buffy: Oh Will, you're supposed to use your powers for good! Willow: I-I just wanna learn stuff! Cordelia: Like how to build your own serial killer? Xander: Well, its so hard to rent one nowadays."

"Cordelia: a bit late SURPRISE!!! Oz: That pretty much... sums it up. Hey, did anyone else see that guy turn to dust? Xander: Yes... Vampires are real... A lot of them live in Sunnydale... Willow will fill you in... Willow: I know this is hard to accept... Oz: Actually it explains a LOT."
 * Surpise (2x13) and Innocence (2x14):
 * Buffy's surprise party, after being crashed by vampires-

"Oz: So do you guys steal weapons from the army a lot? Willow: Well, we don't have cable, so we have to make our own fun."
 * While Willow and Oz were waiting in the van while Xander and Cordelia were stealing the rocket launcher

"(gloating): No weapon forged can defeat me! Buffy: That was then... Buffy: This is now. (curious): What's that do?
 * This CMOF, also a CMOA and the excuse for one of Joss's favorite props:
 * Buffy lifts rocket-propelled grenade launcher*
 * Angel and Drusilla begin to dive out of the way*
 * kwshhhhFOOOOOM*"

"Dru: I'm naming all the stars... Spike: You can't see the stars. That's the ceiling, Dru. Also, it's day. Dru: I can see them. But I've named them all the same name, and there's terrible confusion."
 * Drusilla's always good for a laugh:

"Spike: (to the newly soulless Angel when he says he doesn't want to kill Buffy) ...Now, I know you haven't been in the game for a while, mate, but we do still kill people. It's sort of our raison d'être, you know."
 * This shows how broken she is.

"Theresa: There's actually a few others who need partners. Buffy: And I'm one of the few."
 * Phases (2x15)
 * Larry is tormenting Theresa during self defense class, before trying to get her to be his partner. This fires up Buffy who steps in and we get this exchange.

"Willow: Buffy, just remember, you're meant to be a weak girl. You can't go all Slayer on him. Buffy: Spoil my fun."
 * Buffy's all smiles, her thought process along the lines of, Yeah, okay, Larry's going home short a couple of limbs, until Willow pulls her aside.

"Oz: (after seeing Larry thrown down hard) That works too."
 * After pouting she does anyway, when she pretends to struggle with the moves she was shown to do and Larry grabs her ass.

"Willow: I want you to be my first. Xander: -baseman! Please tell me you were talking about baseball? (Willow glomps him, until Xander struggles free) Xander: Willow, please don't make me use force. Willow: (perverted grin) Mmmmm. Force is okay! Xander: (recoils in horror) That's IT! That has gone far enough! It's time for me to be a man! (beat) Xander: And hide! (flees)"
 * Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (2x16):
 * Due to Axe Deodorant a failed love spell, Xander is being chased by every girl in the town. He goes to the library and shoves a dresser-sized thing up against the door to barricade it. Then Buffy pulls the door open from the other side.
 * Or when Willow makes an extremely determined pass at Xander. In his own bedroom. Dressed only in Xander's shirt.

"Drusilla: (leaning in to bite Xander's neck) How do you feel about eternal life? Xander: (quivering in terror) Couldn't we just go for a coffee?"
 * Don't forget when Drusilla goes to declare her love to a terrified Xander. It was like watching King Kong with Xander unable to escape.

"Angelus: (completely mystified) I guess I really did drive you crazy!"
 * The best part was Angelus' reaction, as Drusilla had interrupted his attempt to murder Xander and then started rubbing herself all over him:

"Buffy: Shh, hospital zone, no singing."
 * "Killed by Death" (2x18)
 * When no one is singing:

"Cordelia: Eww, what does this do? Giles: It extracts vital organs to replenish its own mutating cells. Cordelia: Wow! What does this one do? Giles: It elongates its mouth to engulf its victim's head with its incisors. Cordelia: Ouch! Wait, what does this one do? Giles: (incredibly irritated) It asks endless questions of those with whom it's supposed to be working so that nothing is getting done. Cordelia: Boy, there's a demon for everything!"
 * When Giles and Cordelia are researching demons:

"Cordelia: So this isn't about you being afraid of hospitals 'cause your friend died, and you want to conjure up a monster that you can fight so you can save everybody and not feel so helpless? Giles: Cordelia, have you ever actually heard of tact? Cordelia: Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass."
 * As they're discussing the existence of Buffy's demon-

"Cordelia: Admit it, you ran like a woman."
 * Go Fish (2x20)
 * For this troper it'll always be the episode 'Go Fish' where Xander came across a mutant fish monster and tries to tell the others about it. Though some aren't quite buying how he faced it.

"Xander: What about me, what do I do? Cordelia: You could go into the parking lot and practice running like a man."
 * And just a few minutes later,

"Buffy: So, something ripped him open and ate out his insides? Willow: Like an Oreo cookie, well, except for, you know, without the... chocolatey cookie goodness..."
 * This exhange:

"Spike: It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big."
 * Becoming (2x21 and 22)
 * After a long and very grim explanation by Giles, of how the demon Acathla, if awakened, would pull the entire world into a Hell dimension, where every non-demon would suffer eternal torment, we suddenly cut to the view Angel, Spike, and Drusilla looking at the stone that's holding Acathla:

"Spike: (singsong) Someone wasn't wooooorthy."
 * Angelus attempts to perform the ritual that will awaken Acathla, but is thrown across the room when it doesn't work. Spike's response?

"Buffy: All right. Talk. Spike: (idly) Just let me kill this guy and... Buffy: *clears her throat loudly* Spike: (looks puzzled, then insincerely sheepish) Oh. Right."
 * Spike explaining why he doesn't want to destroy the world, ending with his description of people as 'Happy Meals with legs'.
 * Same episode, Buffy: "I lost a friend tonight. I might lose more. The whole earth may be sucked into Hell... and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho? Well let me take this opportunity to not care!"
 * Or just as Buffy and Spike are finalizing their temporary alliance, while the police officer that tried to arrest Buffy lies unconscious nearby.

"Joyce: Have we met? Spike: Er... You hit me with an axe one time. Remember, er, "get the hell away from my daughter"? Joyce: Oh. - pause - So, do you live here in town?"
 * The scene with Joyce and Spike sitting together in the living room is hilariously awkward.

"Spike(holding Drusilla in his arms): *in shock* He's really going to kill her. *shrugs, then keeps walking*"
 * For some reason, Spike's reaction when Angelus is standing over Buffy with a sword.

"Buffy: Ah, I'll wing it. Of course if we go to hell by then I won't have to take them. (Beat). ...or maybe I'll be taking them forever..."
 * On being unable to prepare for the finals because of yet another impending apocalypse:

Season 3
"(after the vampire has escaped) Xander: First of all, what was with the acrobatics? How did that happen? Oz: Wasn't Andy Hoelich on the gymnastics team? Xander: That's right, he was! [yells at Andy] Cheater! [turns back] Okay, and the, uh, second problem I'm having -- "Come and get it, Big Boy"? Willow: Well, w-w-well, the Slayer always says a pun, or-or a witty play on words, and, I think it throws the vampires off! And, and it makes them frightened, because I'm wisecracking. Okay, I didn't really have a chance to work on that one, but you try it every time! Oz: Uh, if I may suggest, "This time it's personal." I mean, there's a reason why it's a classic."
 * Anne (3x1)

""That's right big boy, come and get it.""
 * And the scene before that, with Willow confronting the vampire.

"Giles (Imitating Joyce): Oh bloody hell...Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead! Americans!"
 * Consider it gotten.
 * Dead Man’s Party (3x2)

"Giles: Like riding a bloody bicycle!"
 * Giles hotwiring his car:

"Buffy: "Great, anyone else want to weigh in on this? You there, by the dip." Jonathan: "No, thanks.""
 * Jonathan getting caught in the middle of a verbal spat between Buffy and her mother and friends

"Buffy: (warmly) I wish I could've been there with you. Willow: Me, too. I really freaked out. Buffy: I am sorry. Willow: (solemnly) It's okay. I understand you having to bail. I can forgive that. Mm, I have to make allowances for what you're going through a-and be a grownup about it. Buffy: (hairy eyeball) You're really enjoying this whole moral superiority thing, aren't you? Willow: (giddily) It's like a drug!"
 * And, the episode wrap-up:

"Buffy: So let me get this straight. I'm really back in school because the school board overruled you. Wow. That's like having your whole ability to do this job called into question, when you think about it. Joyce: Buffy, sit down. (to Snyder) I belive what my daughter is trying to say is...Nyah nyah, nuh-nyah nyah!"
 * And then they close on a cheerfully ridiculous exchange of volleying insults.
 * Faith, Hope and Trick (3x3)
 * When Snyder is forced to rescind Buffy's expulsion:

"Principal Snyder: Woo, Summers, you drive like a SPAZZ."
 * Band Candy (3x6)
 * This troper maintains that the funniest moment in the entire series is Snyder's line in this episode:

"Melaka Fray: Summers, you drive like a SPAZZ! Buffy: Oh my God. THAT is the one phrase that has survived two hundred years? I should have been more gentle to the English language."
 * This actually comes back up in Season 8, when

"Buffy: (portentuously) There was just too much to deal with. It was like nothing made sense anymore. The things that I thought I understood were gone. I just felt so alone... Giles: Was that the math or the verbal? Buffy: Mostly the math."
 * Pretty much the whole scene of the Scoobies finding The Bronze infested with old people.
 * How's about this bit at the end, when Buffy appears to be trying to come to grips with the events of the Band Candy rampage, when in fact she's talking about something else entirely?

""Okay, you're just doing this to take silly photos of me.""
 * Buffy is training with Giles, but she wants to rush off to see Angel. Nonetheless she allows herself to be blindfolded and handed a ball.

""You see it's not that..." BOP "...ow.""
 * Giles tells her to throw the ball at him. She turns away and lets fly, causing him to smirk before the ball hits the wall and thwacks him.

"Cordelia: Get out of Sunnydale, that's a good thing. What kind of moron would ever want to come back here? (cut to Welcome to Sunnydale town entrance sign being smashed down by Spike's car on his way in - for the second time in the series)"
 * Lovers' Walk (3x8)

"The Master: "Some claim that death is our art. I say to them - well, I don't say anything to them because I killed them.""
 * It helps that Spike is completely smashed in this scene.
 * Then there's Spike taunting Angel, standing behind Joyce pulling a Lugosi pose.
 * Spike passes out drunk in front of a crypt and wakes up when his hand catches fire from the sunlight. He rushes to a small fountain on the side of the crypt to put it out... and shouts in pain from having splashed holy water across his hand.
 * Spike hangs out with Joyce.
 * She gives him hot cocoa and commiserates with him over his recent dumping by Drusilla. He then asks her if she's got any of those little marshmallows.
 * Made funnier because it is preceded by the horrified look on Buffy's face when she hears Spike greeting Joyce over the phone.
 * And followed by Spike taunting Angel about how he's not invited, complete with making scary gestures at Joyce's neck behind her back.
 * Can we just say that mopey, drunk Spike in general is one of the most hilarious things on the show?
 * The Wish (3x9)

"Buffy: All right, I get it, you're evil! (A bit later, when the First is bragging about her not having any idea what she is dealing with) Buffy: Could it be...evil?"
 * Amends (3x10)
 * When Buffy first encounters the First Evil, and it is ranting to her about how terrifying and horrible it is:

"Cordelia: I came over here to tell Buffy to stop this craziness and found you all unconscious... again. How many times have you been knocked out, anyway? I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma. Giles: ...Wake up in a--?! Oh, never mind."
 * Gingerbread (3x11)

"Buffy: Actually, I do have a date. Older man. Very handsome. Likes it when I call him 'Daddy'. Angel: (looking relieved) Huh. Your father. (pause) Angel:... It is your father, right?"
 * Buffy and Willow threatening to turn the Burn the Witch mob into vermin. And fish.
 * Helpless (3x12)
 * Angel is casually (trying to, at least) asking Buffy if she has a date on her birthday.

"Xander: Hey! They're not baking any cake!!"
 * The Zeppo (3x13)
 * It essentially parodies the show's established cliches particularly Buffy and Angel's emo-tastic arguments.
 * This troper almost died hearing this line.

"Mayor: I'm feeling chipper, who's up for a root beer?"
 * After Xander didn't know Giles' preference for jelly donuts: "I always have a jelly. I'm the one who always says, 'Let's have a jelly in the mix.'"
 * Bad Girls (3x14)
 * The Mayor’s line after first becoming invincible.

"PTA meeting Haircut Become Invincible"
 * This tropers personal faviorite is the list he checks off after that.

"Faith: New watcher? Buffy and Giles: New watcher. Faith: Screw that. *walks out*"
 * Giles and a pre-Badass Wesley introduction:

"Wesley: You're not helping! Giles: I know... I feel just sick about it."

"Wesley: What is that creature? Giles: That would be your demon. You know, the dead one? Wesley: The important thing, is to stay calm! Giles: *deadpans* Well, thank God you're here, I was planning to panic."
 * Once they have been taken prisoner by the Monster of the Week - Balthazar, a grotesquely obese demon in a large bath who is looking for a powerful amulet. The expected interrogation begins thus:

"Balthazar: You know what I want. Giles: (completely deadpan) If it's for me to scrub those hard-to-reach places, I'd like to request you kill me now."

"Mayor: Do you like Family Circus, Mr. Trick? Mr. Trick: I read Marmaduke. Mayor: Agh! Uuugh! That dog's always on the furniture! It's so unsanitary.
 * The Mayor, Mr. Trick, and Allan discuss their favorite newpaper comics.

Mr. Trick: No one tells Marmaduke what to do. That is my kind of dog.

Allan: I like to read Cathy!


 * The Mayor and Mr. Trick just stare*"

"Buffy: Willow, just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was. Angel: Well, actually [Buffy glares] ... That's a good point."
 * Doppelgängland (3x16)
 * It would be easier to list the moments in this episode that weren't CMOFs.
 * Willow regarding her parallel dimensional evil twin: "I'm so evil and skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay." Followed immediately by

"Cordelia: What is it? Is there something on my neck?" Vamp!Willow: Not yet."
 * Willow’s summation gets a call back in “Tabula Rasa” (6x8).
 * According to Word of God, they weren't planning on making anyone gay at that point. That's right, it's a joke that's so funny it turned someone gay.
 * Later Word of God was that the staff had for some time been considering having someone eventually come out of the closet, but were not decided as to who it would be. Willow and Xander were two of the lead candidates... and when that joke came up, Willow sealed her fate.
 * And her evil twins reaction to waking up in Willows fluffy clothes: "Well, look at me. I'm all fuzzy."
 * Later in the episode, Willow shoots Vamp!Willow with a dart gun, steals her clothes and locks her in the library cage, where Cordelia finds her. Instead of letting her out however, she discusses the ethics of boyfriend stealing, with Willow's evil twin hanging on the bars with an expression that just screams bored now.

"(after Xander tries and fails to drive Willow back with a cross) Buffy: (quaveringly) Willow... you're alive? Willow: Aren't I usually? (Buffy and Xander glomp Willow as hard as they can) Willow: (confusedly) I love you guys too? (breathlessly) Okay. Oxygen... becoming an issue... (they let go and step back) Willow: Giles, what's with these- (Giles tackles Willow in a hug) Willow: It's really nice that you all missed me. Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did you?"
 * "I'm a blood-sucking fiend! Look at my outfit!"
 * The gang's reaction to seeing Willow walk into the library, after first encountering Vamp!Willow at the Bronze:

"Xander: Will, we saw you at the Bronze. A vampire. Willow: (offended) I'm not a vampire! Buffy: You are! I-I mean, you, you were. (plaintively) Giles, planning on jumping in with an explanation any time soon? Giles: Well, uh... something... something, um, very strange is happening. (beat) Xander: Can you believe the Watcher's Council let this guy go?"
 * And the attempt to explain things:

"Buffy: It was exactly you, Will. Every detail. Except for your not being a dominatrix... as far as we know. Willow: (rolling her eyes) Oh, right. Me and Oz play "Mistress of Pain" every night. (Giles frowns) Xander: Did anyone else just go to a scary visual place? Buffy: Oh yeah."
 * This:

"Angel: (visibly distraught) Buffy... something's happened that... Willow's dead! (everybody just nods at him matter-of-factly) Angel: (sees Willow standing over in the corner) Oh, hey Willow. (jumps back) Wait a second-! (Giles rolls his eyes) Xander: We're right there with you, buddy."
 * Or Angel's big entrance...

"Giles: She was truly the finest of us all. Xander: (choked up) Way better than me. Giles: (matter-of-factly) Much, much better."
 * Earlier, when everyone thinks that Willow has become a vampire:

"Anya: God, what a day... Gimme a beer. Barkeep: (deadpan) ID. (Anya stares at him in disbelief) Barkeep: Anya: I'm eleven hundred and twenty years old! Just gimme a frickin' beer! Barkeep: ID. Anya: (sigh) Gimme a Coke."
 * Anya tries to order a beer:

"Buffy: (regarding the corset) You okay in that thing? Willow: It's a little binding. I guess vampires really don't have to breathe. (looks down at her cleavage) Gosh, look at those."
 * Willow is disguised as Vamp Willow:

"Vamp Willow: Oh, f-- (turns to dust)"
 * The scene where Wilkins gives Faith her own apartment. Just before it ends, you can clearly see Eliza Dushku trip.
 * Which fits. The Mayor wants to kill everyone. Even her. And Faith's all for helping him. Of course the girl's trippin.
 * Vamp Willow's send-off. First, Willow's heartwarming hug to her vampire counterpart leads to some "friendly" groping ("Hands!"), and then Vamp Willow gets to enjoy being back in her own reality... for all of three seconds before getting staked.

"The Mayor: "There is more than one way to skin a cat and I happen to know that this is factually true.""
 * After everyone thinks Willow's a vampire, Xander shoves a cross in her face. When it doesn't do anything, he shakes it like a faulty Etch-a-Sketch.
 * Enemies (3x17)

""I have two words to put a smile on that dial. Miniature. Golf." (Faith stares at him for a moment, then cracks up."
 * Just how Affably Evil is the Mayor? Well Faith is moping that she didn't kill Buffy, so the Mayor tries to cheer her up.

"Buffy: You're right, Faith would never do that. Willow: Faith would totally do that. Faith was built to do that. She's the do-that girl! Buffy: Comfort, remember? Comfort here? Willow: Please, does Angel come up to Faith's standards for a guy? Let's see, is he breathing? Buffy: Actually, no."
 * Willow is trying to convince Buffy there's nothing going on between Angel and Faith, but both realise that Faith is drop-dead gorgeous and Really Gets Around.

"Oz: [thinks] I am my thoughts. If they exist in her, Buffy contains everything that is me and she becomes me. I cease to exist. [out loud] Huh."
 * Earshot (3x18)
 * A great Oz moment comes when Buffy hears his thoughts:

"Cordelia: [thinks] I don't see what this has to do with me. [out loud] I don't see what this has to do with me."
 * And Cordelia's thought-to-speech:

"Buffy: "You had sex with Giles? You had sex with Giles? On the hood of a police car?!? TWICE?!""
 * Buffy's learning experience as to why it's sometimes a bad idea to read your mother's mind:

"Giles: I'm glad to see you've recovered from your psychic encounter more or less intact. Feel up to some training? Buffy: Sure! We can work out after school. You know, if you're not too busy having sex with my mother. Giles: (walks headfirst into a tree)"
 * And the episode's conclusion.

"Xander: I think they're much better this year. Oz: Well their spelling's improved."
 * Which Anthony Stewart Head ad libbed.
 * Revealed in "Who Are You" (4x16) that Joyce's exact words were "He's like a stevedore in bed". Buffy doesn't know what a stevedore is.
 * Earlier in the episode Xander and Oz are watching the pep rally and sharing snarks.

"XANDER: What am I going to do? I think about sex all the time. Sex. Help. Four times five is thirty. Five times six is thirty-two...Naked girls. Naked women. Naked Buffy. Oh, stop me. BUFFY: God, is that all you think about? XANDER: Actually...(bolts) bye."
 * There's a reason this is Sarah Michelle Gellar's favorite episode. When Buffy reveals she can hear other people's thoughts she hears Xander's.

"WESLEY: Xander has just illustrated something. Chances are, you're all going to find yourself thinking whatever you least want Buffy to hear. It's a matter, of course, of mental discipline..."
 * Buffy knows where Xander's thoughts are going and shoots him a filthy look, then rolls her eyes when they predictably go to girls, then reacts with anger when he thinks of her naked.
 * And after Xander is busted...

"WESLEY: Look at Cordelia. No! Don't look at Cordelia! She's a student! Oh, I am bad. A bad, bad man."
 * Only to immediately think...

"Was it a boy demon?"
 * He then spots Buffy smirking at him. Given her thoughts of him she could easily be saying one of several things.
 * When Buffy fears just what aspect of the demon she might get she notices Willow's eyes bug out at one possibility.

"Oz: And once again, the Hellmouth puts the "special" in special occasion. Xander: (angrily slams down a pile of books) Why do I even buy tickets to these things, I ask you?!? Willow: (worried) I wonder if I can take my dress back. Buffy: (leaps up) Don't you dare! Willow: But Tucker's gonna- Buffy: No. (inspirational music starts to swell) You guys are gonna have a prom. The kind of prom that everyone should have. I'm gonna give you a nice, fun, normal evening... (triumphantly) if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it. Xander: (visibly freaked out) ...yay?"
 * The Prom (3x20)
 * Buffy has a little freak out when her friends are scared to go to the prom because some loser threatens it with hell hounds.

"Willow: We can't just leave you, Buff- Giles: Buffy, they're right. You need- Buffy: To see tail lights. Hit the door. I've got everything under control. Oz: Buffy, it makes sense to - Buffy (deadly):  Have. A nice. Time.
 * Later, after finding Tucker, we get this exchange.

Willow: Okay then.

Xander: See ya."

"Mayor: [reading from an ancient tome, in front of the Scoobies] "The Beast shall walk upon the Earth, and darkness shall follow. The several races of man will be as one in their terror and destruction" aww, that's kind of sweet! All those different races, coming together?"
 * Graduation Day (3x21 and 22)
 * I'm just gonna go ahead and say any scene with the Mayor is an utterly brilliant mix of '60s sitcom humor (I half-expect to hear a Laugh Track whenever he's on screen) and standard Buffy villain shock value. There truly will never be a villain like him in television again.

"Cordelia: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan. Oz: We attack the Mayor with hummus. Cordelia: I stand corrected. Oz: Just keeping things in perspective. Cordelia: Thank you."
 * This troper's favourite is the Scoobies trying to come up with a way to defeat the Mayor.

"Angel: Well, he wasn't too crazy about germs. Cordelia: Of course! That's it! We'll attack him with germs. Buffy: Great! We'll get him cornered and then you can sneeze on him. Cordelia: No! No. We'll get a container of Ebola virus and . . . and . . . or, it doesn't even have to be real. We can get a box that says Ebola on it and . . . um . . . chase him! (silence) With the box. Xander: I'm starting to lean towards the Hummus Offensive. Oz: They'll never see it coming."
 * And then, later on:


 * Xander and Giles find a book with a picture of what : "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
 * Also, the fact that the image is, essentially, a centerfold.

Season 4
"Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, (sigh) astonishingly boring. We, we have to kill some cooler people. Will somebody remind me?"
 * The Freshman (4x1)
 * "Uh, are we gonna fight? Or is this gonna be, like, some big monster sarcasm rally?" That line had this troper (kalel32688) and his mom in stitches.
 * The best part was when you ragged on your clothes. She was like "No! Not the ensemble!"
 * Sunday looking through Eddie's CD collection:

"Harmony: Is Antonio Banderas a vampire? Spike: No. Harmony: Can I turn him into a vampire? Spike: No. On second thought sure. Do that. Take your time. Do Melanie and the kids too."
 * Living Conditions (4x2)
 * Buffy's Death Glare when her roommate Cathy spills ketchup on the sweater she "loaned" and later when Willow takes a bite from Buffy's sandwich. The Slayer's got serious ownership issues.
 * The Harsh Light of Day (4x3)

"(to Giles in his own home) "I need to talk to Xander. Go away"."
 * Anya drops her clothes while Xander's back is turned, he turns around holding a juice box. You can guess where it goes from there.
 * He fixes the cable?
 * Another Anya gem.

""We need to make sure Buffy has fun. Force fun upon her. And if Parker shows up we'll just ax murder him. That's Halloweeny.""
 * Fear Itself (4x4)
 * Willow is all sunny discussing Halloween, after Parker dumped Buffy.

"Giles: The summoning spell for Gachnar can be shut down in one of two ways. Destroying the Mark of Gachnar... Buffy destroys the mark Giles: ...is not one of them, and will in fact immediately bring forth the Fear Demon itself."

- *''cue

"Giles: Don't taunt the fear demon. Xander: *alarmed* Why? Can he hurt me? Giles:."
 * The exchange between Xander and Giles that follows the fear demon's appearance:

"Buffy: There's no problem that cannot be solved by chocolate. Willow: I think I'm gonna barf. Buffy: Except that."
 * This wraps up with Giles finding the information on Gachnar in an old book. Under the image it says (in another language).

"Xander: And was there a lesson in all of this? What have we learned about beer? Buffy: Foamy! Xander: Good. Just so that's clear."
 * The sombrero.
 * Beer Bad (4x5)
 * It’s the episode :

"Xander: Every man faces this moment. Here. Now. Watching, waiting for an unseen enemy that has no face. Nerve endings screaming in silence. Never knowing which thought might be your last. Giles: Oh, shut up."
 * The Initiative (4x7)
 * Harmony's fight with Xander. First, they square off. Then, Harmony slaps Xander. Then, Xander kicks Harmony in the shins. Then they start pulling each other's hair. Then it goes to slow-mo...
 * What's even better about this episode is that it's the only fight in either series in which any of the actors actually were hurt afterwards. Not badly, but they had to wear shin guards and knee pads so they didn't get too bruised.
 * The scene with Spike's being unable to attack Willow as a metaphor.
 * "Why don't we wait half an hour and you can try again? ...or..." *hits Spike over the head with a lamp*
 * This exchange:

"Willow: Keep eye contact. Funny is good, but don't be glib. And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel. (Riley looks back at her, very surprised) Willow: A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Have fun."
 * The scene where Willow is advising Riley on how to initiate conversation with Buffy:

"Spike: A BEAR! YOU MADE A BEAR!
 * Pangs (4x8)
 * Pangs wasn't the best of episodes in the series, with awkward conflict over Native Americans in the Scooby Gang and Angel being...well, having barely any role in the story at all. But James Marsters delivers some stellar performance that actually made me sympathetic towards a blood-sucking demon, for not being able to suck blood! Then he does some hilarious propwork hopping around in a chair all tied up while the Shumash indians are firing arrow after arrow at him. But the crowning moment of funny comes right towards the end of the encounter, where...

Buffy: I didn't mean to!

Spike: UNDO IT! UNDO IT!!"

"Buffy : (on mashing potatoes) You don't have a ricer? How can you not have a ricer! ...What's a ricer? Giles: (irritably) We'll mash them with forks, much as the Pilgrims must have!"
 * And there's Giles being inducted into the ritual of Thanksgiving dinner...

"Xander: Yeah. Right. You're marrying Spike because you're so right for each other. Buffy: Xander! Spike: That's it! You're off the usher list."
 * The scene where Willow, Xander and Anya are rushing to help Buffy and Giles... on stolen bicycles. Complete with heroic music.
 * The way everyone keeps assuming Angel is evil again, for absolutely no reason.
 * Something Blue (4x9)
 * The scenes where Spike and Buffy plan their wedding, and Xander's reaction to it:

"Buffy: Honey, we need to talk about the invitations. Now, do you wanna be William the Bloody or just Spike? 'cause either way, it's gonna look majorly weird. Spike: Whereas the name "Buffy" gives it that touch of classic elegance. Buffy: What's wrong with Buffy? Giles: (deadpan) Huh. Such a good question.
 * And...

Buffy: My mother gave me that name!

Spike: Yeah, your mother's a genius.

Buffy: Don't you start on my mother!"

"Spike: Oh! Bloody hell! Buffy: (spitting) Spike lips! Lips of Spike!!"
 * Couldn't he just go as William Pratt (his real name)?
 * And after the love spell is suddenly broken, and Buffy and Spike return to their usual loathing:

"Spike: (tied up in a chair) Don't I get a cookie? Buffy: No. Spike: Well, I gotta have something. I still have Buffy taste in my mouth. Buffy: You're a pig, Spike. Spike: Yeah, well, I'm not the one who wanted "Wind Beneath My Wings" for the first dance. (Buffy's friends turn toward her in horror on hearing this) Buffy: (embarrassed) ... That was the spell!"
 * The denouement...

"Spike: Look at that lip. Gonna get it. Gonna get it (starts kissing) Buffy Oh, stop. Giles: Yes, please stop."
 * This

"Buffy: (referring to a crypt) ...and oh my God! wouldn't this be a great place to take pictures? Spike: I'm not posing for chuff all (monster arrives) Buffy: All right, now we're gonna do this without destroying the foliage."
 * And this:

"Okay. It's late. And I'm... I'm very tired now. So... I'm just gonna go far away and be... away."
 * Riley finds out about the engagement.

"Buffy: Spike and I are getting married! Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions."
 * Then Xander finds out...

"Xander: C-can I be blind too?"
 * Followed almost immediately by Spike and Buffy going full speed with the kissing:

"Spike: Xander, don't you care about me? Xander: Shut up. Spike: We never talk. Xander: Shut up! Spike: Xaaaaander... Xander: SHUT UP!"
 * Hush (4x10)
 * Giles' overhead presentation in "Hush," complete with stick figure drawings (using copious amounts of red pen for blood), Anya nonchalantly munching popcorn throughout, and best of all, Buffy's easily-misinterpreted "staking" motion. Then her outraged 'my hips aren't that big!' gesture.
 * Personally I enjoyed Xander's "boobs?" gesturing and Willow's miming of what would happen once she played a screamo CD.
 * Willow: I've gone deaf!
 * Xander picking up the phone, calling Buffy, and...hanging up. Xander shouting random things to see if he could vocalize a sound, blaming Spike at the top of his lungs, and Spike (still tied to a chair from his arrival the previous day) flipping him the V. Really, the half-an-act starting after Buffy wakes up has enough funny parts to be humorous if you can't read lips, but is truly hilarious if you can.
 * Spike has to stay in Xander's bedroom and is tied to a chair by his bed, he says the following with the funniest girly voice you have ever heard:

"Spike: We're out of Weetabix. Giles: We are out of Weetabix because you ate it all. Again. Spike: Get some more. Giles: I thought vampires were supposed to eat blood. Spike: Yeah, well, sometimes I like to crumble up the Weetabix in the blood. Gives it a little texture. Giles: Since the picture you just painted means that I will never touch food of any kind again, you'll just have to pick it up yourself. Spike: Sissy."
 * Walsh pointed out the IN CASE OF EMERGENCY USE STAIRWAY sign to Riley & Forrest after they had just survived the Initiative's poison gas countermeasures.
 * This exchange:

"Forrest: (held up behind Riley's head) Come on! Come on!"
 * The sheer Nightmare Fuel of the Gentlemen kills it a bit, but Doug Jones does a hilarious "oh shucks, you shouldn't have" gesture when the others applaud his presenting the hearts they've gotten.
 * Riley and Forrest are in the elevator not able to get the vocal recognition thingy to work, and Riley is trying to remember the manual override password. Behind him Forrest takes the time to write on his little scrap of paper.

"Buffy, Willow, Xander: AGAIN??"
 * Doomed (4x11)
 * Giles informs the Scoobies that the Monsters Of The Week are planning to bring about the end of the world. Their response:

"Spike: What’s this? Sitting around watching the telly while there’s evil still afoot. That’s not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What, can’t go without your Buffy, is that it? Too chicken? Let’s find her! She is the Chosen One after all. Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Let’s annihilate them. For justice...and for...the safety of puppies...and Christmas, right? Let’s fight that evil! Let’s kill something! *after the screen fades to black* Oh, come on!""
 * At the end of the episode:

"Giles: Oh who am I kidding? Nothing is going to happen. (Closes the door) Ethan: (Coming out of the shadows) Oh I wouldn't say that. In fact, Giles, old mate, I'd say things are about to get rather- Giles: (Comes back in) Did someone-? Ethan: Oh Bugger! I thought you'd left!"
 * A New Man (4x12)

"Willow: Did it work? Is the atmosphere ionized? Giles: ..... I'd venture 'yes'."
 * Demon!Giles chasing Prof. Walsh down the street in "A New Man". Petty yet satisfying.
 * The I in Team (4x13)
 * Spike has a tracer planted (read: shot) into his shoulder by the Initiative. Giles calls Willow in to use a spell to disrupt it's beacon. The spell that Willow chooses has the effect of ionizing the air around them. After the spell is finished, all the lights in the house burst, and when the camera pulls back to the Scoobies... Words fail this troper. Their hair looks like they all got struck by lightning. Or, to put it another way, like they raided Angel's hair-styling gel stash and used it. All. At once.
 * Willow's hair is truly spectacular. Its defiance of gravity rivals any Final Fantasy character.

"Buffy: You guys research the Polgara demon. I want to know where it is. When I find it, I'm going to make it pay for taking that kid's life. I'll make him die in ways he can't even imagine. (everybody glares at her) Buffy: .....that probably would've sounded more commanding if I wasn't wearing my yummy sushi pajamas."
 * Goodbye Iowa (4x14)
 * Buffy's delivers what could have been one of her more badass speeches.

"Xander: For your information, smarty, we've got a rogue Slayer on our hands. Real psycho-killer too. Spike: Sounds serious. Giles: It is. What do you know? Spike: What do you need? Xander: Her. Dark hair. Yay tall, name of Faith, criminally insane. Giles: Have you seen her? Spike: Is this bird after you? Xander: In a bad way, yeah. Spike: Tell you what I'll do then. I'll head out, find this girl, tell her exactly where you are and then watch as she kills you. (Sees their looks of surprise and irritation.) Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all? Just because I can't do the damage myself doesn't stop me from aiming a loose cannon your way. And here I thought the evening would be dull. Xander: Go ahead. You wouldn't even recognize her. Spike: Dark hair, this tall, name of Faith, criminally insane. Like this girl already. Xander and Giles watch him leave. Xander: We're dumb."
 * This Year’s Girl (4x15) / Who Are You (4x16)
 * Riley's in-universe Continuity Lock Out: After the rest of the Scoobies have a lengthy, intensive discussion about Faith waking up and what she could be doing, he sheepishly asks "Who's Faith?"
 * Xander and Giles ask Spike for help finding Faith.

"Spike: You know why I really hate you, Summers? Fuffy: Because I'm a stuck up tight ass with no sense of fun? Spike: Yeah, well...that's a large part of it."
 * Faith, as Buffy, outguesses Spike.

"Faith: How'd you get here so fast? Riley: I didn't, I'm just late for church."
 * "Who Are You?" after Faith and Buffy switch bodies and Buffy tries to tell Giles what happened. Eliza Dushku does a dead perfect Sarah Michelle Gellar impression as she tries to convince him she's really Buffy.
 * "What's a stevedore?"
 * Faith comes to a church to save people held hostage by vampires and runs into Riley.

"Xander: So we're saying he did a spell just to make us think he was cool? Giles: Yes. Xander: That is so cool!"
 * Superstar (4x17)
 * In Superstar...

"Xander: Could we go back to the haunted house, because this is creeping me out."
 * Where the Wild Things Are (4x18)
 * This troper thinks that this episode, quite possibly the stupidest goddamn episode of the entire series, is worth it just to hear Anya angrily shouting "Me too! WHOOHOO!" What makes it gold is that she isn't being at all sarcastic - she's actually trying to sound like she's having fun, but is so furious that the attempt fails utterly.
 * When Willow, Anya, Tara and Xander go to find Giles and see him singing and playing guitar in a cafe. Cue Heroic BSOD from the girls, in particular Willow whose mouth falls open, and this line from Xander:

"Xander: I'm fighting total mental breakdown here, Will. No more fuel on the fire, please?"
 * Made all the more funnier when the girls all agree that voice is sexy (it is) and Xander consequently starts his own Heroic BSOD.

"Tara: Does he... do this a lot? Xander: Sure! Every day the Earth rotates backwards and the skies turn orange!"
 * All of Xander's dialogue in this scene is just utterly hysterical.

"Spike: You haven't been much of a whiz lately. Willow: I am a whiz! Tara: She is a whiz! Willow: If ever a whiz there was."
 * Willow moaning at how good he is, before remembering why she had such a crush on him. Subtext? Where?
 * The Yoko Factor (4x20)
 * "The Yoko Factor" had Giles' off-screen "Bloody Hell!" after Willow finally came out as well as this reference to The Wizard of Oz.

"Angel: You actually sleep with this guy?"
 * Angel's uncharacteristically snarky comment to Buffy about Riley:

"Principal Snyder: I walked by your guidance counselor's office one time. A bunch of you were sitting there, waiting to be shepherded. I remember it smelled like dead flowers, like decay. Then it hit me. The hope of our nation's future is a bunch of mulch. Xander: You know, I never got the chance to tell you how glad I was you were eaten by a snake."
 * Uncharacteristic on Buffy—very common in Angel.
 * There's also Angel's parting words; he turns to Buffy, saying "About Riley..." It's set up as a "take care of her" moment, but gets mercifully subverted when he says "...I don't like him."
 * What improves this is that they clearly did not get along; had the trope not been subverted, it would have been bad writing.
 * Restless (4x22)
 * Xander's dream sequence in Restless (4x22), where Xander is Benjamin L. Willard and Snyder is Colonel Kurtz.

"Buffy: Well, at least you all didn't dream about that guy with the cheese. (Giles, Xander and Willow look up in surprise) I don't know *where* the hell that came from. (All share confused glances at each other as Buffy leaves.)"
 * The single most hilarious part of this episode has to be Giles SINGING his traditional expository monologue about the Monster of the Week. It literally must be seen to be believed.
 * "Spike is like a son to me!"
 * Two Words: Cheese. Man.

"Cowboy!Riley: I'm looking for a man. A salesman."
 * Willow's dream interpretation of Death of a Salesman in "Restless". It involves a cowboy.

- Flapper!Buffy: But what else could I expect from a bunch of low-rent, no-account hoodlums like you? Hoodlums, yes, I mean you and your friends, your whole sex, throw 'em in the sea for all I care, throw 'em in and wait for the bubbles, men with your groping and spitting all groin no brain three billion of you passing around the same worn-out urge. Men! With your ... sales!

"Buffy: (To the very wild-haired First Slayer) Also, in terms of hair-care, you want to be asking yourself "What kind of impression am I making in the workplace?""
 * For an episode as Mind Screw-y as Restless was, Buffy got a good one in on the First Slayer at the end, after she completely subverts the whole "Your Mind Makes It Real" gig.


 * Giles, as the director of Willow's nightmare Death of a Salesman production, explaining to the cast (which includes all the regulars) that they have to be good because "everyone that Willow's ever met is out in that audience, including all of us." If the speech itself wasn't enough, then Harmony repeatedly jumping up to try to bite Giles's neck (he's a head taller than her at least) and Giles's nonchalant reaction ("Stop that, it's very annoying") seals the deal.
 * Riley and Human!Adam discussing their plans for world domination ("the key element is coffee makers that think") and their reaction to an Initiative security breech ("This could be serious." "We should build a fort." "I'll get the pillows.")
 * Riley's declaration that "I showed up early, so I got to be cowboy guy."... Always thought of that as the explanation of how Marc Blucas got on the show in the first place.

Season 5
"Xander: Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master! (Everybody looks at him funny.) Xander: ...bator."
 * Buffy vs. Dracula (5x1)
 * Xander is trying not to let everyone else know that he's been brainwashed by Dracula:

"Xander: I think you're drawing a lot of crazy conclusions about the Unholy Prince. (Everybody looks at him funny again.) Xander: ...bator."
 * It gets even funnier later on:

"Giles: I've was a librarian for years. This is no different except now people pay for the things they never return."
 * Xander being dismissed by Dracula as "strange and annoying".
 * Real Me (5x2)
 * Three Words: "Harmony has minions?"
 * "Sire-whipped".
 * This line from Giles after he takes over the magic shop.

"Buffy: Wow, you've really thought this through. How bored were you last year? Giles: ... I watched "Passions" with Spike. Let us never speak of it."
 * For that matter when Buffy sees him he's dressed in a full wizard outfit. Buffy stares at him, Giles stares back. She still stares at him, he still stares back. Buffy still stares at him, and Giles finally takes the hint and slowly, reluctantly, removes the hat.
 * Let's not forget this.

"Joyce: (to Dawn) Be good. Xander: Oh, we will. We're just gonna play with matches, run with scissors, take candy from... some guy, I don't know his name. (winks at Dawn)"
 * Or Xander's adventures in babysitting:

"Dawn: She (Tara) and Willow are both witches. They do spells and stuff which is so much cooler than slaying. I told mom one time I wish they'd teach me some of the things they do together...and she got really quiet and made me go upstairs."
 * I always get a kick out of:

"Dawn: What are you doing? Buffy: My boyfriend. Go away."
 * The Replacement (5x3)
 * One of the Xanders tries to prove himself to Willow by doing the Snoopy dance.
 * One time Buffy is meditating in her roo,

"Buffy: "What are you doing here? Five words, or less? Spike: "Out. For. A. Walk...Bitch.""
 * No Place Like Home (5x5)
 * This

"[Talking about Taras birthday] Buffy: "Thinking there will be a lot of Wiccans there? Heavy Wiccan crowd?" Xander: "That's sort of her deal. Her and Willow are all Wiccie. Swinging with the Wiccan lifestyle." Buffy: "Which is cool!"
 * Family (5x6)
 * The way the Show went all Does This Remind You of Anything? regarding Willow and Taras Wiccan Magic got kind of silly after a while. But when the characters themself started doing it? Hilarious!

Xander: "Oh yeah. "

Buffy: "I just hope we fit in, not awkward."

Xander: "With Willow, it is like she got this... whole new thing in her life. But she is still Willow, so I can always figure her out. But Tara, all I know is that she likes Willow. She already has one of those.""

"Spike: Except for me. Xander: Except for Spike. Spike: I don't care what happens."
 * The whole gang defends Tara when her father arrives to take her away.

"Darla (sing song):I think our boys are going to fight! Drusilla: The King of cups is expecting a picnic, but this is not his birthday! Darla (beat): Good point."
 * Fool for Love (5x7)
 * Many of the Smash Cuts in the show are funny but the one that sticks out for me is the one in this episode, when Spike described himself as "always been bad" then we see the nerdy William trying to write a poem for his beloved Cecily.
 * Drusilla's odd reaction to Angel and Spike's quarrel.

"Giles: ...I did not say that."
 * Listening to Fear (5x9)
 * Giles describes the Monster of the Week as a "Killer snot creature from outer space".

"Anya: That's so very humorous. Make fun of the ex-demon! I can just hear you in private: "I dislike that Anya. She's newly human and strangely literal.""
 * Into the Woods (5x10)

""We're talking about two very powerful witches and a thousand-year-old ex-demon."
 * It's better in context—she's talking to a chicken foot as she imagines them making fun of her.
 * The large banner celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa & Gurnenthar's Ascendance in Giles' shop.
 * Don't forget the Winter Solstice.
 * Triangle (5x11)
 * When Olaf the troll asks Spike where there are babies (to eat), Spike turns to Xander and says, in total seriousness, "What do you think? The hospital?"
 * "They've got this onion thing..."
 * Buffy's "They (Xander & Anya) have a miraculous love" rant in "Triangle".
 * Checkpoint (5x12)
 * During a reminder that the Scooby Gang (quote circa late season 5) is hardly a group of civilians:

"Willow's a demon?!""

"Anya: Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. "Who's our little patriot?" they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now. Phillip: So... you spell it A - N - Y - A, then?"
 * After having spent the entire episode trying to trying to convince the Council she's not a demon, no less. Her interview with the council members also belongs on this list.

"Nigel: Well, I need to know a little bit more about the Slayer. And about both of you. Your relationship, whatever you can tell me. Tara: O-ou-our relationship? Willow: We're friends. Tara: Good friends. Willow: Girlfriends, actually. Tara: Yes, we're girlfriends. Willow: We're in love. We're... lovers. Lesbian, gay-type lovers. [She puts her hand on Tara's leg.] Nigel: [Deadpan] I meant your relationship with the Slayer."
 * So does Willow's and Tara's interview.

"Spike: And don't make a lot of noise. Passions is coming on. Joyce: Passions? Oh, do you think Timmy's really dead? Spike: Oh! (He and Joyce each sit on his armchair) No, no, she can just sew him back together. He's a doll, for god's sake Joyce: Uh, what about the wedding? I mean, there's no way they're gonna go through with that."
 * Buffy brings Joyce and Dawn over to Spike's to have him protect them:

"Careful. These (his nails) are wet."
 * Made even funnier by Dawn's total look of exasperation.
 * Blood Ties (5x13)
 * After Buffy knocks Spike into the tomb he was sitting on:

"Buffy: Oh no. Love Doctor Buffy is not in. I am not qualified to give dating advice. I've had exactly two boyfriends, and they both left. Really left. Left town left."
 * I Was Made to Love You (5x15)
 * Buffy's reaction to Joyce asking Buffy about the best way to prepare for her date:

"Joyce: Gosh, I'd forgotten how much fun dating can be. Buffy: I dunno. I was standing right here. I didn't even see Prince Charming. I didn't even see a good night kiss. It all looked pretty tame to me. Joyce: Well, I suppose by your standards, it could seem pretty... Oh, dear. Buffy: What? Joyce: I left my bra in his car. Buffy: MOTHER!!! Joyce: I'm kidding. Buffy: Good God, that's horrible. Don't do that. Joyce: I left it in the restaurant. Buffy: (running upstairs with her hands over her ears): No more! No more! No more! Joyce: On the dessert cart! Buffy: (faintly, off screen) I can't hear you!"
 * Joyce's final scene is quite possibly the most laugh-out-loud funny moment in the series, which makes it extremely bittersweet.

"Tara: Did I miss something? Anya: Xander decided that he blames the wall."
 * The Body (5x16)
 * This episode is one long Tear Jerker, but contains a gem of funny from Anya, after Xander punches a hole in the wall of Willow and Tara's apartment and Tara returns from the laundry room.

"Xander: Buffy, we care about you, and we're worried about you. The way you're acting, the things you're doing- Anya: It's wrong. Willow: Wait. This shouldn't be about blame. Buffy: Blame? There's blame now? Willow: No, there's only love. And... some fear. Anya: We're just kind of thrown by the you having sex with Spike. Buffy: (jawdrop) The who whatting how with huh? Anya: Okay, that's denial. That usually comes before anger. Buffy: (heatedly) I am not having sex with Spike! Anya: Anger. Xander: (soothingly) No one is judging you. It's understandable. Spike is strong and mysterious and sort of compact but well-muscled. Buffy: (firmly) I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be!"
 * Intervention (5x18)
 * After having seen the Buffybot with Spike, the Scooby Gang confronts the real Buffy with what they believe to be the truth, and Hilarity Ensues.

"Xander: Spike must have had her built so he could program her to- Buffy: (horrified) Oh God! Willow: Yikes! Imagine the things- Buffy: No! No imagining, any of you! Xander: (raises his hand sheepishly) Already got the visual."
 * Xander struggles not to laugh at the accusation.
 * Or, after the mystery of the Buffybot has been revealed.

"Anya: Buffy's boinking Spike. Willow: (struggling to understand) Oh. Well, Tara's right, grief can be powerful and we shouldn't judge - Tara: What are you, kidding? She's nuts!"
 * After finding the Buffybot...with Spike, Xander and Anya have to warn Willow and Tara, not knowing it's the bot yet. Tara doesn't want to judge Buffy, knowing what she went through, then...

"As she bumps into him, then she sees what he sees. Xander looks like he just took a bite of Hell. Anya, however, is intrigued and a little turned on."
 * The script gets one for Xander's and Anya's reactions to Spike and the bot.

"Anya: Drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice hunter with the speech impediment."
 * "Oh Spike. You're the Big Bad. You're the Big Bad."
 * Spiral (5x20)
 * Anya's suggestion on how to deal with Glory:

"The Slayer's a robot! Did everybody else know that the Slayer was a robot?"
 * The Gift (5x22)
 * Glory isn't exactly the brightest god in the heavens;

"Buffy: Hey, everybody knows their jobs. Remember, the ritual starts, we all die. And I'll kill anyone who comes near Dawn. Spike: Well, not exactly the St. Crispin's Day speech, was it?
 * Buffy puts the grand plan into motion to stop Glory, and in lieu of her usual pep talk, we get this:

Giles: (Wryly) "We few, we happy few..."

Spike: We band of buggered."

Season 6
"Xander: Who made you boss the boss of us? Willow: You did. You said I could be boss. Anya: You said to take a vote and it was unanimous. Tara: You made a plaque that said "You're the boss of us!" with little sparkles on it."
 * Bargaining (6x1 and 2)

"Razor: Not looking too good. Xander: I don't see you winning any beauty pageants. Not unless the Miss my face fell off contest gets going."

"Razor: Pretty big axe you got there Xander: All the better to cut you down to size, Grandma."

"Razor: Of course We want trouble. We're demons. We're really all about the trouble."

"Buffy: Didn't anyone come here just to make out? [two raise their hands] Awww... that's sweet. Run."
 * Life Serial (6x5)
 * The Peggy Sue Running Gag had this troper crying with laughter.
 * All the Way (6x6)

"Anya: (Dressed up in a Charlie's Angels costume for Halloween) Um, no, this is a special kind of angel called a Charlie. We don't have wings, we just skate around with perfect hair fighting crime."
 * Anya's Halloween costume.

"Buffy: It's not just us."
 * "The Dance Of Capitalist Superiority", Anya pulling out a wad of cash and doing a happy dance with it, as Dawn joins in completely carefree for a few minutes. Then Anya reveals she does it every night, and you just know it's true.
 * Once More, with Feeling (6x7)
 * "They got... the mustard... OOOUUUT!!!!"
 * For some perspective, 'The Mustard' is the conclusion to a big band song with the citizens of Sunnydale performing backflips with their dry cleaning. Over MUSTARD being removed from a SHIRT.
 * The part that gets this troper is the deadpanned line immediately following:

"Demon: She's not half the girl she [gets stabbed] OWWWWW! Or this... Buffy: Will I stay this way forever. Sleep walk through my life's endeavor...(Frees a hot guy who was tied up) Sexy Open Shirt Bystander: How can I repay- Buffy: Whatever..."
 * From "Going Through The Motions"

"Anya: I've got a theory...It must be bunnies! The Scoobies: (Cricket Chirp) Tara: I've got a theory- Anya: Bunnies are not cute like everyone supposes! They've got those hoppy legs and twitchy little noses! And what's with all the carrots?! What do they need good eyesight for anywaaaays!? BUNNIES!! BUNNIES!!! IT MUST BE BU-UN-NAAAAAYS!!!!! The Scoobies: (Silence)
 * From "I've Got a Theory"

Anya:...or maybe midgets.

And of course this bit...

Xander: It could be witches, some evil witches *sees Willow and Tara glare at him*...which is ridiculous, 'cause witches, they were persecuted, Wicca good and love the Earth and women power and...I'll be over here."

"The women singing: Hey, I am not wearing underwear."
 * The woman singing about getting a parking ticket.

"Dawn: Oh my god! You'll never believe what happened at school today! Buffy: (Without looking up) Everybody started singing and dancing? Dawn: (Mad that she guessed it-and deadpans) I gave birth to a pterodactyl.
 * This bit:

Anya: (Not deadpan) Oh my god, did it sing?"

"Willow: "Those boys were totally checking you out." Tara: "They were? I'm cured! I want the boys!""
 * This exchange:

"Giles: I was able to examine the body while the police were taking witness arias."
 * Giles, Xander, and Anya, walking down the street. First they discuss how Xander and Anya's song was, Giles provides some exposition about the demon responsible, and then it drifts to discussing Buffy's recent difficulties in life. All the while, there are people performing in the background (and the foreground, as the camera focuses on the parking ticket lady as they talk).

"Well I mean / I'm fifteen / so this queen thing's illegal"
 * Dawn's response to Sweet taking him back to the Underworld as his bride.

"Spike: Randy? Randy Giles?! Why not Horny Giles or Desperate-For-A-Shag Giles?!?!"
 * Dawn getting cut off two lines into her song, likely to the great relief of the audience as it was clearly going to be a Wangst fest about people not spending time with her.
 * Tabula Rasa (6x8)
 * This part, where Spike thinks he's Giles' son and reads the name inside of his suit jacket:

"Spike: Oh, listen to Mary Poppins. He's got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so... (stops and notices his own accent) Bloody hell! (ticks off on his fingers) Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks... oh God! I'm English! Giles: (dryly) Welcome to the nancy tribe."
 * Or the mutual discovery of their nationality.

"Spike/Randy: I must be a vampire with a soul. I'm a good guy on a mission of redemption. I help the helpless!
 * How about Giles and Anya as a married couple? Or Willow and Alex (Xander) as a couple with Willow's attraction to Tara? Or JOAN THE VAMPIRE SLAYER?!?
 * Anya attempts to counter the memory spell, and summons a hoarde of bunnies, a sinister green cloud, a sword weilding skeleton, and some kind of ferocious beast that we never even see.
 * That look of fright on their faces when they saw vampires. So funny it gets used in the season 7 opening.
 * Spike learning that he's a vampire in Tabula Rasa. First Buffy insults Anne Rice, then...

Buffy/Joan: How lame is that?"

"Riley: I've been up 48 hours straight tracking down something bad. Now it's come to Sunnydale, Buffy: My hat has a cow..."
 * The callback to "Doppelgängland" (3x16) to Willow's summation of her vampire counterpart—minus the "evil and skanky" part.
 * Gone (6x11)
 * Head and shoulders of Spike as he finishes pouting at an invisible Buffy for only coming around to use him. He tells her to take her clothes if she can find them and get out...then looks crotchward suddenly, "That's cheatin'!"
 * And before, when Xander walked in on them having sex, and Spike told him he was exercising.
 * Doublemeat Palace (6x12)
 * Halfrek's introductory scene is priceless. She threatens Xander's life and offers to dismember him in this horribly low, demonic voice, until she recognizes Anya, adopts a much girlier voice ("Anyanka?? Oh my GOD!") and hugs her, with Xander shitting bricks the entire time.
 * Older and Far Away (6x14)
 * Tara asking Spike about the "cramp" in his pants.
 * As You Were (6x15)
 * Buffy's embarrassment when Riley found her working at the Doublemeat Palace.

"Willow: "Hello, Tara. Would you like to go out with me for coffee, food, kisses and gay love?""
 * Normal Again (6x17)

"Giles: I can see... Anya: It's a miracle!"
 * Grave (6x22)
 * Buffy's attempts in "Grave" to fill Giles in on everything that's happened since he left. Anya's a vengeance demon again, Dawn's been stealing, they're running out of money... "" Giles stares at her solemnly for a long moment, then cracks up.
 * Another bit:

Season 7
"Buffy: Are you insane? Spike: Well, yeah; where have you been all night?"
 * Beneath You (7x2)
 * A woman asks the Scoobies if there's anyone among them who hasn't had sex with each other. Cue glances from Xander and Spike.
 * The combinations get even smaller as of S8. Xander and Dawn are together now, Angel S5 mentioned that Angelus and Spike did it once and Buffy had a one night stand with another Slayer.
 * Spike's insane ramblings inside the church are a Tear Jerker, except for one, very brief moment of lucidity.

"Dawn: "Stop saying vomit!""
 * Same Time, Same Place (7x3)
 * Paralyzed Dawn is a goldmine of comedy, especially considering how increasingly muffled Dawn's lines become as her face gets more and more frozen.

""It's a troll! Hide your babies and your beadwork!" "Hit him with fruits and various meats!""
 * "...She's posable?"
 * Buffy leaving the TV remote in poseable Dawn's hand.
 * Help (7x4). On Buffy's first day as a high school counsellor, Dawn shows up to complain about her control freak sister who keeps stealing all her clothes.
 * Selfless (7x5)
 * D'Hoffryn, upon seeing the Anya's murdered frat boys in season 7's "Selfless": "Oh, Breathtaking! It's like someone slaughtered an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue."
 * Anya's flashbacks to when she was human.

"Together:Oh, no Man: Mustard on my shirt Woman: Mustard, I'll never get it out Man: My favorite dress shirt Woman: Dry clean it Man: How could you serve Together: Mustard?"
 * Then there was the "Once More" prequel song:

"Anya: Oh! I wrote...a poem. Comparing him to daisies and forests and diamonds, and that sort of thing."
 * Him (7x6)
 * Buffy, Willow, and Anya trying to win Jacket-Boy's love. To sum up:
 * Buffy attempts to kill Principal Wood. With the rocket launcher.
 * Not to mention the scene where she attempts it. Principal Wood is listening to quiet jazz while marking papers. In the window behind him we see Buffy appearing with the launcher, then Spike running in and doing a flying tackle, knocking Buffy out of view to stage right. They come back into frame with Buffy hanging off of Spike's shoulders beating him repeatedly over the head, vanishing to stage left. Then Spike comes back into view again running away with the rocket launcher and Buffy chasing after him like something straight out of Looney Toons, exit stage right again. Wood remains completely oblivious the entire time.
 * Willow tries to fix the problem with Jacket-Boy's physical form.
 * And Anya is implied to have committed multiple robberies somewhere, but turns the radio off before we can find out where and lies to the others about it when they ask.

"Buffy: Anya could be seducing RJ as we speak. Willow: You really think she would do that? Buffy: She was recently evil. Willow: So was I. Why should I miss out?"
 * Buffy and Willow fighting over RJ.

"Buffy: Willow, you're a gay woman! *beat* And he isn't!? Willow: This isn't about his physical presence! It's about his heart. Anya: His physical presence has a PENIS! Willow: I can work around it!"
 * Also:

"(RJ is dirty dancing with a beautiful scantily-dressed girl, seen only from the back) Willow: (ogling the girl) Check out his fan club. Xander: (ogling likewise) Ooo, daddy like. Buffy: (rolls her eyes) What is that shirt made of? Paint? Willow: (dawning realization) Buffy... Buffy: Glad Dawnie isn't here to see her precious boyfriend getting all thrusty with some slut-bag hussy- (the girl turns around, and everybody jawdrops when they see that she is Dawn) Xander: (horrified) Oh... oh no! Daddy no... I wasn't... when I was lookin' I wasn't... oh God! Willow: (ashamed) Right there with ya."
 * Let's not forget the scene earlier in the Bronze:

"Buffy: First, you said you were going to the library. Second, you do not go on a date without informing me first. And third, Anna Nicole Smith thinks you look tacky!"
 * The line "Right there with ya." Is one of the funniest lines in the entire show.
 * And the confrontation immediately afterwards:

"Andrew: (somberly) It eats you, starting with your bottom."
 * Conversations with Dead People (7x07)
 * Andrew's mistranslation of the Arc Words, "From Beneath You, It Devours" (he'd just been in Mexico and heard it in Spanish):

"Willow : Bad touching!"
 * Never Leave Me (7x9)
 * Andrew failing to kill a pig.
 * The Killer in Me (7x13):
 * The Glomp Andrew gives Willow

"Giles: You think that I'm evil because I bring a group of girls camping and don't touch them?"
 * The Scoobies start fearing that he might be the First because they can't remember if he's touched anything, since the First is incorporeal and all.

"(Anya, Xander, Dawn and Andrew tackle Giles) Xander: Touch him! Dawn: I feel him! I feel him! Andrew: Me too! Giles: Good, we all feel each other. (Looks at Andrew) Including some of us who don't each other well enough to take such liberties, thank you."
 * And how did they figure out that Giles wasn't The First?

"Spike: Who ya gonna call? [Beat] God that phrase is never gonna be usable again, is it? Buffy: Doubt it."
 * This bit:

"Buffy: It's just he's there on the Hellmouth all day everyday. That's like getting showered by evil, only from underneath. Willow: Not really a shower. Buffy: A bidet. Like a bidet of evil."
 * First Date (7x14)
 * Buffy and Willow talking about Principal Wood:

"Andrew: In my plan, we are beltless!"
 * Chan-Ahn the Chinese Potential what with no one understanding what she's saying and vice-versa.
 * Storyteller (7x16)
 * Most of it, actually, but coming to mind are the slow-mo kitchen sequence and "Why can't you just masturbate like the rest of us?"
 * Honestly, all of his fantasy sequences are brilliant, especially the supervillain one

"Andrew: WE ARE AS GOOOOODS *plays harp while a unicorn trots gently by*"
 * Also:

"Spike: Hey, I told you get that thing out of my face! Now get out of here before I tear your head off! Andrew: Spike, the light was behind you. Spike: Oh sorry. [Takes a step forward] Hey, I told you to get that.."
 * Andrew watching the footage of Xander and Anya's breakup and mouthing Anya's words.
 * Andrew ignoring Willow & Kennedy kissing, instead complimenting Xander's work on fixing the window.
 * Andrew tries to film Spike:

"Principal Wood: God, I hope that's not a student."
 * The pig from "Never Leave Me" reappears.

"Andrew: It's in the kitchen. ...you didn't have any steak knives. Willow: You put your old murder weapon in with our utensils?! Andrew: .....I washed it."
 * Either hilarious or Squicky, depending on the viewer:

"Buffy: So, did you bring back any Potentials? Giles: Um, rea— no. Actually, m-my, uh, my trip is about something else. It's–it's, um, regarding Spike. Buffy: Spike. What about him? Giles: I told you my concerns when you recklessly chose to remove the chip from his head. Robin: Wait, sorry — chip? Giles: Well, uh, it's a... long story. Buffy: The military put a chip in Spike's head so he couldn't hurt anyone. Giles: And that would be the abridged version. Buffy: But he wouldn't hurt anyone anymore because he has a soul now. Giles: Unless the First triggers him again. Robin: Triggers the chip? Buffy: No, the trigger's a post-hypnotic thing. The First put it in his head. It was... made him… He was killing again. Robin: So, he has a trigger, a soul, and a chip? Giles: Not anymore! Buffy: It was killing him, Giles! Robin: The trigger? Buffy: No, the chip. The trigger's not active anymore. Robin: Because the military gave him a soul? [Giles tries to think an adequate response. Buffy glares at Robin, who gestures in surrender.] Robin: Uh... sorry."
 * Lies My Parents Told Me (7x17)
 * Principal Wood trying to catch up with Spike's Backstory. Also serves as a humorous lampshade of Continuity Lock Out.

"Andrew: Uh, Willow? Call for you from L.A...somebody named Fred? Guy sounds kind of effeminate."
 * Andrew relays the plot hook for Willow's appearance on Angel, via a phone call from Winifred Burkle.

"AMANDA: What the hell are you talking about? I thought Faith killed a volcanologist. ANDREW: Silly, silly Amanda. Why would Faith kill a person who studies Vulcans? AMANDA: He studied volcanoes. He was a professor...? ANDREW: Ah, yes. Well, regardless..."
 * Dirty Girls (7x18):
 * Andrew's recount of Faith's backstory is mostly accurate...up until the point where she's suddenly fighting 

"FAITH: (referring to the body swap) Shoulda known it wasn't blondy behind the wheel. She'd never throw down like that. SPIKE: Oh you have been away. FAITH: Don't tell me miss tightly wound is gettin' her naughty on."
 * The Chinese potential didn't have a clue what Andrew saying and all she can respond with is "There's a girl doing gymnastics in the backyard". Andrew nods solemnly, thinking she said something completely different.
 * Faith's and Spike's meeting, where they discuss going bad, sexual fetishes and Buffy.

"Anya: OK... I know you're all upset... and I, myself, would much rather be sitting at the bedside of my one-eyed ex-fiance than killing time here with you people in this over-crowded and might I add increasingly ripe-smelling basement. And I would be, too, if not for a certain awkward discussion he and I recently had right over there on that cot, immediately following some exciting and unexpected breakup sex. (the girls sitting on the cot move to the floor; Andrew writes "breakup sex", then underlines it)."
 * Empty Places (7x19)
 * Anya is giving an informative presentation to the potentials in the basement, while Andrew writes the key points on an easel-pad.

"Angel: That's great. Everyone's got a soul now. Buffy: He'll make a difference. Angel: You know, I started it. The whole having a soul. Before it was the cool new thing. Buffy: Oh my god, are you twelve?"
 * Chosen (7x22)
 * Angel's petulant reaction to the news that.


 * Two words. "Wheelchair fight."
 * What do you do the night before the final battle? Play Dungeons and Dragons, of course!
 * Also, from that scene, Andrew and his outfit.
 * And for all the Homestar Runner fans, the reference to Trogdor the Burninator really sealed the deal.
 * Faith and Wood are barricading the school, after they'd slept together and Faith dumps him. When she starts up how men are only interested in her for her body Wood claims he's much more attractive. Faith is shocked and tries to deny his claims, before trying to go at it with him again.

 * One time, Buffy sees a control panel of some sort which is obviously malfunctioning, electricity shorting out and everything. So she tries to use it anyway, only to be thrown back twenty feet and through a window.

Comics
"Xander: How're you feeling? Centaurette!Dawn: Like I was ridden hard and put away wet. Xander: AGH! Dawn, that's dis -- oh. No. It's just true."
 * In Season 8, after Xander is forced to ride Centaurette!Dawn (causing her to get soaking wet), this exchange happens:

"Spike: So that's, then."

"Evil Slayer: Mind if I bum a fag? Faith: What do I care? You can bum whoever you...oh."
 * The E-Comic Harmony Comes to the Nation. It's a S8 tie-in. The plot? It's a two page comic showing an interview with Harmony after her show. The interviewer? Stephen Colbert! Oh, and he, in his trademark style, points out her hypocrisy and stupidity.
 * In No Future For You Faith is sent undercover to bag a British Slayer who'd gone evil, a story she should be familiar with. Even after being trained she still has a bit of trouble with local slang, which leads to this exchange.

""No. That's nothing worth...it's just been a slow year.""
 * Earlier in The Long Way Home Buffy is angsting over the things she misses, sex among them. Later she is trapped in a dream state with Ethan Rayne who claims to know all her secrets, before revealing Buffy's fantasy of her in a nurse outfit chained to a naked Angel and a naked Spike.

 * Everyone piling into Buffy's' bedroom and catching her and Satsu together.

"Xander: Hey, that's a big deal! I'm a potential romantic interest! I'm on the list--right after being gay. I rate almost as good as trying to change your sexual orientation. You went--through gay-- to me."
 * For that matter, Willow tries to gently steer Satsu away from Buffy, fearing they'll get hurt. She then grills her on what Buffy's like in bed.

 * Buffy hits on Xander.

""Y'know, when you started this story I didn't think it was possible for me to care any less. But here we are.""

 * Harmony getting upset over her image in publicity campaigns.
 * Faith referencing Star Wars again.
 * Faith offers her opinion on seeing Harmony stripping at a club. Bonus points for looking envious.


 * Angel throws out the reward Harmony gives him, the realization that famous people are crazy much more valuable to him.
