* At the end of the "Slayer, Interrupted" prequel comic miniseries, Giles has gone through all kinds of grief to win the honor of becoming Buffy's new Watcher, then proceeds to read her file, muses that Sunnydale is a stupid name for a town, and then gets a BigWhat reaction to learning his new charge is named Buffy.

** Near the end of the book, Buffy mourns several murder victims from across the first three seasons whose deaths particularly affected her: [[spoiler:Jenny Calendar]], Stephen Platt. Dr. Gregory, Debby Foley, Principal Flutie, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers l Herbert the pig]]. The doomed school mascot from episode 6 being the last name on that list manages to be cute, sad, and a humorous bit of MoodWhiplash all at once.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E1WelcomeToTheHellmouth Welcome to the Hellmouth]]" (1x01)]]
* Xander's entrance, which [[EstablishingCharacterMoment cements his]] ButtMonkey status. He's skateboarding to school, dodging students up until [[DistractedByTheSexy he sees Buffy... and gets clotheslined by the railing]].
* Xander's FreudianSlip: "Can I have you?"
* Buffy introduces herself to Willow to ask a favor.
-->'''Buffy:''' It doesn't involve moving, but it does involve hanging out with me for a while.\\
'''Willow:''' But aren't you hanging out with Cordelia?\\
'''Buffy:''' I can't do both?\\
'''Willow:''' Not legally.
* This exchange between Buffy and Giles in the library:
-->'''Giles''': Everything you dreaded was under your bed but told yourself couldn't be by the light of day -- they're all real.\\
'''Buffy''': What? You, like, sent away for the Time-Life Series?\\
'''Giles''': [[FailedAttemptAtDrama Oh, w-well, yes]].\\
'''Buffy''': Did you get the free phone?\\
'''Giles''': Um, the calendar.
* Buffy evaluating potential outfits: "'Hi, I'm an enormous slut!'...'Would you like a copy of ''The Watchtower''?'"
* Her response to her mom asking if there will be boys at the club: "No, Mom, it's a nun club."
* Buffy and Willow's conversation at the Bronze.
-->'''Willow:''' I don't date a whole lot...lately.\\
'''Buffy:''' Why not?\\
'''Willow:''' Well, when I'm with a boy I like, it's hard for me to say anything cool or witty or at all. I-I can usually make a few vowel sounds, and then I have to go away.\\
'''Buffy:''' It's not that bad.\\
'''Willow:''' No, it is. I think boys are more interested in a girl who can talk.\\
'''Buffy:''' You really ''haven't'' been dating lately.
* Giles tries to teach Buffy to hone her Slayer senses to find a vampire, and she casually picks one out by his antique outfit, leading Giles to peevishly say, "But you didn't...hone."
* Thomas' look at Darla for biting Jesse.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E2TheHarvest The Harvest]]" (1x02)]]
* Willow's reaction to finding out about vampires and demons and Buffy being the Slayer.
--> '''Willow''': ''[sitting in a chair]'' Oh, I-I need to sit down.\\
'''Buffy''': You ''are'' sitting down.\\
'''Willow''': Oh. Good for me.
* Buffy feels she failed because Jesse was taken by the vampires, and Willow (crossing over with a CMOH) says, "If you hadn't shown up, they would have taken us too. Does anybody mind if I pass out?"
* Giles asks if Buffy has any idea where they took Jesse.
-->'''Buffy:''' I looked around, but as soon as they got clear of the graveyard, they could have just...voom!\\
'''Xander:''' They can fly?\\
'''Buffy:''' They can drive.
* Luke's look of embarrassment when he recalls the last time (in 1843!) someone got away alive after fighting him. "He caught me while I was sleeping."
* Willow's hacking skills debut. Check Giles' amused smile when Willow finishes speaking.
-->'''Giles:''' So, all the city plans are just open to the public?\\
'''Willow:''' Um, well, in-in a way. I sort of stumbled onto them when I accidentally decrypted the city council's security system.\\
'''Xander:''' Someone's been naughty.
* Xander's trying to come to grips with what he's seen.
-->'''Xander:''' This is just too much. I mean, yesterday, my life is like, "Uh-oh, pop quiz." Today, it's "rain of toads".\\
'''Willow:''' I know. And everyone else thinks it's just a normal day.\\
'''Xander:''' Nobody knows. It's like we've got this big secret.\\
'''Willow:''' We do. That's what a secret is, when you know something the other guys don't.
* "You've got something in your eye."
* Things are bad enough after Jesse's been turned into a vampire.
-->'''Buffy:''' So, Giles...got anything that can make this day any worse?\\
'''Giles:''' How about the end of the world?\\
'''Buffy:''' I knew I could count on you.
* At the end of the episode, just after Giles finishes explaining how The Scoobies may be the only thing standing between the Earth and total destruction, Buffy and co. walk off, brainstorming ideas about how Buffy could get kicked out of school. Giles's reaction as he heads off in the opposite direction:
-->'''Giles''': [[DeadpanSnarker The Earth is doomed]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E3TheWitch Witch]]" (1x03)]]
* The opening scene:
-->'''Giles''': This is madness! What can you have been thinking? You are the Slayer! Lives depend upon you! ''[begins pacing]'' I make allowances for your youth, but I expect a certain amount of responsibility, and instead of which you enslave yourself to this, this... cult?\\
'''Buffy''': ''[wearing a cheerleader outfit]'' You don't like the color?
* Buffy tells Willow and Xander about Giles' reaction. "I'd say he should get a girlfriend if he wasn't so old."
* Xander gets DistractedByTheSexy.
-->'''Xander:''' People scoff at things like school spirit, but look at these girls giving their all like this. ''[sees a girl doing a full split in her cheerleading uniform]'' Ooh, stretchy. ''[Buffy rolls her eyes and walks off]'' Where was I?\\
'''Willow:''' You were pretending that seeing scantily-clad girls in revealing postures was a spiritual experience.\\
'''Xander:''' Who said I was pretending?
* When "Amy" says that she spends six hours a day practicing with her mom, Buffy says, "That much quality time with my mom would probably lead to some quality matricide."
* Giles: "[T]hat's the thrill of living on the Hellmouth. There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage. ''[off the teens' looks]'' Well, pardon me for finding the glass half-full."
* Not-So-Heroic Xander.
--> '''Xander''': Oh, ha! I laugh in the face of danger! [[LovableCoward Then I hide until it goes away]].
* After Joyce closes up the crate with a fertility statue in it, [[CovertPervert Buffy takes a peek]].
* Xander happily informs Buffy and "Amy" that they made the team, not realizing that an alternate is someone who ''didn't'' make the team. Willow explains, and the girls walk away dejected.
-->'''Xander:''' For I am Xander, King of Cretins. May all lesser cretins bow before me.
* Joyce shows Buffy her yearbook photo.
-->'''Buffy:''' Mom, I've accepted that you've had sex. I am not ready to know that you had Farrah hair.\\
'''Joyce:''' This is Gidget hair. Don't they teach you anything in history?
* Xander trying to work himself up to asking Buffy out.
-->'''Xander:''' I'm going to take your advice and not beat around the bush.\\
'''Willow:''' Or I could be wrong. Maybe you should beat around the bush more.\\
'''Xander:''' No. I gotta be a man and ask her out. I gotta stop giving her ID bracelets, subtle innuendos, taking Polaroids outside of her bedroom window late at night. That last part is a joke to relieve the tension because here she comes. Okay, into battle I go. ''Would you ask her out for me?'' No. Man. Me battle.
* One of Willow's early zingers:
-->'''Giles''': Why should someone want to harm [[AlphaBitch Cordelia]]?\\
'''Willow''': Maybe because they ''met'' her? ... Did ''I'' say that?
* 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.
** Buffy yeeting a cheerleader with her Slayer strength.
** "You're not like other boys at all. You are totally and completely one of the girls." And Willow's smile at this.

[[AC:[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E4TeachersPet Teacher's Pet]] (1x04)]]
* The failed attempt by Willow to pantomime the answers when the teacher calls on Buffy.
* After Buffy reports Angel's warning to Giles:
-->'''Giles:''' That's all he said? "Fork Guy"?\\
'''Buffy:''' That's all Cryptic Guy said, "Fork Guy".\\
'''Giles:''' I think there are too many "guys" in your life.
* A bit of BlackComedy: Buffy is crying after Dr. Gregory's body is discovered, sitting like she has no energy. Giles offers her a glass of water, and without looking up, she says, "No, thank you," then takes a sip.
* Before going into his office to make a phone call:
-->'''Giles:''' Um, this computer invasion that Willow's performing on the coroner's office. One assumes it is entirely legal.\\
'''[=Willow/Buffy=]''': [[BlatantLies Entirely./Of course.]]\\
'''Giles:''' Right...wasn't here...didn't see it...couldn't have stopped you.
* Giles talks to a friend who went insane after his encounter with a she-mantis, saying, "You--you were right all along about everything. Well, no, you weren't right about your mother coming back as a Pekinese, but...Uh, try to rest, old man. Yes. Ta. Bye now."
* When Giles warns Buffy that the she-mantis is extremely dangerous:
-->'''Buffy:''' Well, your buddy Carlyle faced it, and he's still around.\\
'''Giles:''' Yes, in a straitjacket, howling his innards out day and night.
* The Scoobies find the real Natalie French, a kindly 90-year-old woman, and realize Praying Mantis Lady has simply stolen her identity.
-->'''Buffy:''' She could be anywhere!
-->'''Real Natalie French:''' (as if to a toddler) [[LockedOutOfTheLoop No, dear]]. I'm ''right here.''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E5NeverKillABoyOnTheFirstDate Never Kill a Boy on the First Date]]" (1x05)]]
* After Giles finds a ring from one of the slain vampires in the teaser.
-->'''Buffy''': Oh, that's great! I kill 'em; you fence their stuff.
* The Master reading a prophecy.
-->'''The Master''': "And there will be a time of crisis, of worlds hanging in the balance. And in this time shall come the Anointed, the Master's great warrior. And the Slayer will not know him, will not stop him, and he will lead her into hell." As it is written, so shall it be. "Five will die, and from their ashes, the Anointed shall rise. The brethren of Aurelius shall greet him and usher him to his immortal destiny." As it is written, so shall it be. ''[referring to the vampire slain in teaser]'' "And one of the brethren shall go out hunting the night before and get himself killed because he couldn't wait to finish his job before he ate." Oh, wait. ''[grabs minion by the throat]'' That's not written anywhere.
* Regarding Creator/EmilyDickinson:
-->'''Giles:''' Yes, um, she's quite a good poet. I mean, for a--\\
'''Buffy:''' A girl?\\
'''Giles:''' For an American.
* Cordelia hip-checks Buffy to be first to sit with Owen, spilling Buffy's whole lunch on the floor. But Buffy gets her back with a good one when she says, "Boy, Cordelia's hips are wider than I thought."
* After Buffy protests bailing on her date with Owen to deal with the Order of Aurelius:
-->'''Giles''': I'll just jump in my {{time machine}}, go back to the 12th century, and ask the vampires to defer their prophecy while you take in dinner and a show.\\
'''Buffy''': Okay, at this point, you're abusing sarcasm.
** Funnier because this is ''[[DeadpanSnarker Buffy]]'' saying it.
* Giles gives Buffy a firm speech about how they must stop the Master and that tonight they head into battle. [[GilliganCut Cut to Giles and Buffy waiting in a cemetery that night, no vampire to be seen]].
-->'''Giles''': Perhaps I miscalculated.\\
'''Buffy''': I'm thinking yes.\\
'''Giles''': Well, you know what they say -- ninety percent of the vampire slaying game is, is waiting.\\
'''Buffy''': You couldn't have told me that ninety percent ago?
* Giles tells Buffy that revealing her secret identity could put her and others in danger. She answers, "Well, in that case, I ''won't'' wear my button that says, 'I'm a Slayer. Ask me how!'"

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E6ThePack The Pack]]" (1x06)]]
* "I suppose some girls might find [Angel] good-looking...''[sees Willow's look and breaks]''...if they have eyes. ''All right'', he's a honey."
* Xander sniffs Buffy's hair.
-->'''Buffy:''' ...Okay, now what?\\
'''Xander:''' You took a bath.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[{{beat}}]'' Yeah, I-I often do. I'm actually known for it.\\
'''Xander:''' That's okay.\\
'''Buffy:''' ...And the Weird Behavior Award goes to...
* Giles hears about Xander's condition.
-->'''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''': Ah, it's devastating. He's turned into a sixteen year old boy. Of course, you'll have to kill him.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E7Angel Angel]]" (1x07)]]
* Xander says guys will do anything to impress a girl.
-->'''Xander:''' I once drank an entire gallon of Gatorade without taking a breath.\\
'''Willow:''' It was pretty impressive, although later, there was an ick factor.
* After the Three fail him and they offer their lives as penance, the Master is talking to the Anointed One about how taking the life of another vampire is a serious thing.
-->'''The Anointed One''': So you would spare them?\\
'''The Master''': I am weary, and their deaths will bring me little joy. ''[turns away]''\\
''[Darla gleefully starts staking the Three]''\\
'''The Master''': Of course, sometimes, a little is enough.
* Buffy sees her diary lying around and assumes Angel had read it. She gets to the following point in her little rant before Angel tells her that her mother just moved it when she was cleaning.
-->'''Buffy''': [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial "A" doesn't even stand for "Angel." It stands for "Achmed," a charming foreign exchange student]].
* When Buffy asks the difference between the pre-fumigation party and the post-fumigation party, Xander answers, "Much hardier cockroaches."

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E8IRobotYouJane I Robot, You Jane]]" (1x08)]]
* Giles and Jenny are going back and forth on analog vs. digital, when Fritz chimes in rather...intensely.
-->'''Fritz:''' The printed page is obsolete. Information isn't bound up anymore. It's an entity. The only reality is virtual. If you're not jacked in, you're not alive.\\
'''Jenny:''' Thank you, Fritz...for making us all sound like crazy people.
* "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Nazi Germany was an example of a well-ordered society? Who's been editing my files?]]"
* Xander happens to know the most likely place where Moloch might be hiding out, and Giles is nonplussed by this development.
-->'''Xander''': [[DefensiveWhat What]], I can't have information sometimes?
-->'''Giles''': It's just somewhat unprecedented.
* When Jenny points out the blank book and Giles sees the cover with Moloch's face on it, he [[SureLetsGoWithThat agrees with her guess that it's a diary]] and absently ends their argument, his mind already in research mode.
-->'''Giles:''' Well, it's been so nice talking to you.\\
'''Jenny:''' We were fighting.\\
'''Giles:''' Must do it again sometime. Bye now.
* Buffy jumps a chain-link fence and lands on her feet like a badass. Xander jumps the fence and... lands on his face. It's the simple things in life.
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Moloch the Corrupter]], a demon who has been released into the Internet, tries to turn Willow:
-->'''Moloch:''' [[AC:Don't you see? I can give you everything! I can control the world! Right now, a man in Beijing is transferring money to a Swiss bank account for a contract on his mother's life. (''{{beat}}'') Good for him!]]
* After Xander punches out a {{Mook}}:
-->'''Xander:''' HEY!! [[ThrowTheDogABone I got to hit someone!!]]
* There's something wonderfully {{Narm Charm}}y about how Giles puts ''huge gusto and YELLING'' into a passage that he's just reading for Jenny to type into the computer.
** One has to wonder how many exclamation points she added to that...
* The ending. Funny enough at the time, [[HilariousInHindsight tragically hilarious in hindsight.]]
-->'''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.]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E9ThePuppetShow The Puppet Show]]" (1x09)]]
* Principal Snyder gets introduced, infamous for deadpan deliveries of a cynical portrayal of kids and berating his predecessor's school policies.
-->'''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 [[HilariousInHindsight being eaten]].
** Another gem:
--->'''Snyder''': There are things I will not tolerate. Students loitering on campus after school. Horrible murders with hearts being removed. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And also smoking]].
* The Scoobies interview various witnesses, trying to figure out who killed Emily, and a pained-looking Xander talks to Cordelia, who claims that "Emma" was her best friend.
-->'''Cordelia:''' All I can think is, "It could have been me."\\
'''Xander:''' We can dream.
* The look of exquisite suffering on Giles's face while Cordelia [[HollywoodToneDeaf butchers]] "The Greatest Love of All." (Even funnier after watching the later seasons, where he's revealed as a decent musician.)
** Also, when she tries to corner him later in the episode:
--->'''Cordelia''': ...And [my song] is sappy. And no one is going to be feeling sappy after all that rock and roll. ''[Giles glares at her in exasperation, then his gaze slides upward]'' What?\\
'''Giles''': Oh, I'm, I'm sorry. Erm... your hair, er...\\
'''Cordelia''': There's something wrong with my hair? ...Oh my God. ''[exits]''\\
'''Giles''': Xander was right. It worked like a charm.
* Xander asking "Does anyone else feel like we've been [[Film/TheUsualSuspects Keyser Soze'd]]?"
* Xander pretending to make Sid yell [[Film/TheShining "Redrum! REDRUUUUUM!"]]. Followed by them having matching grins.
* Buffy and Sid's OneDialogueTwoConversations.
-->'''Sid''': You win. Now you can take your heart and your brain and move on.\\
'''Buffy''': I'm sure they would have made great trophies for your case.\\
'''Sid''': That would have been justice.\\
'''Buffy''': Yeah, except for one thing -- you lost, and now you'll never be human.\\
'''Sid''': Yeah, well. Neither will you.\\
'''Buffy/Sid''': ''[simultaneously]'' What?!
* Xander, Giles, and Willow's horrified reactions when they see Sid is gone.
* Buffy's reaction to the demon's real face after kicking him in the face and tearing away his skin:
-->'''Buffy''': Ewww!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E10Nightmares Nightmares]]" (1x10)]]
* With Buffy acting chipper about going to school, Joyce snarks, "Good day to buy that lottery ticket."
* Giles explains about astral bodies, and Buffy asks, "Could I be seeing Billy's asteroid body?"
* Willow enjoying the memory of nearly-naked Xander before catching the look on his face.
* This exchange:
-->'''Xander''': Our dreams are coming true.\\
'''Giles''': Dreams? That would be a musical comedy version of this. Our nightmares. Our nightmares are coming true.\\
'''Willow''': So why is this happening?\\
'''Giles''': Billy.\\
'''Xander''': Well. That explanation was shorter than usual.
* Cordelia's nightmares are getting horrifically frizzy hair and being forcibly conscripted into the chess club. Willow's smile as she watches this....
* Buffy's nightmare-come-to-life, while terrifying, does have a quip from the Master quoting ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''.
-->'''Buffy''': This is a dream.\\
'''The Master''': [[ShoutOut A dream is a wish your heart makes]]. ''[grabs Buffy by the throat]'' [[ThisIsReality This is real life]].
* Xander's nightmare is a [[MonsterClown terrifying, laughing, knife-wielding clown]] he remembers from his sixth birthday party. He, Willow, and Giles run screaming... then Xander stops, thinks about it, and [[Awesome/BuffyTheVampireSlayer knocks the clown out with one punch]].
-->'''Xander''': You were a ''lousy'' clown! Your balloon animals were pathetic! ''Everyone'' can make a giraffe!
** For that matter, when Xander runs into Willow and asks her if she remembers his sixth birthday party. She starts laughing about the clown [[OhCrap before abruptly realizing why he's bringing it up]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E11OutOfMindOutOfSight Out of Mind, Out of Sight]]" (1x11)]]
* Snyder has one gem:
-->'''Snyder''': There are no dead students here. This week.
* Cordelia's [[ComedicSociopathy hilarious]] [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centeredness]] culminates in this statement:
-->'''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! [[ItsAllAboutMe Like my pain meant nothing]].
** Her running up to Buffy to ask for help, having figured out that Marcie is after her.
--->'''Cordelia''': ItsAllAboutMe! Me, me, me!
* Xander's 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):
-->'''Giles''': I've never actually heard of anyone attacked by a lone baseball bat before.\\
'''Xander''': Maybe it's a vampire bat. ''[[[LamePunReaction everyone stares at him]]]'' ...I'm alone on that one, huh?
** This also comes up later, after Marcie pushes Harmony down the stairs, breaking the latter's ankle:
--->'''Snyder''': [[ChekhovsGag Don't sue]].
* When Cordelia eventually turns to the Scoobies for help:
-->'''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?
** On a related note, one of the reasons she decides to ask Buffy of help is because she saw how strong Buffy was in addition to all the weapons she had, so she started to assume she was in a gang.
* After getting her a chair so she can sit with the Scoobies, Giles mentions that he's never seen her in the library before. Cordy's response, delivered with complete earnestness:
-->'''Cordelia''': Oh, no; I have a life.
* And then there's Xander's {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing of the fact that, for once, Cordelia's ItsAllAboutMe attitude is actually correct, this time.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E12ProphecyGirl Prophecy Girl]]" (1x12)]]
* Xander is trying to rehearse asking Buffy out, but it isn't going so well.
-->'''Xander:''' "You know, Buffy, Spring Fling just isn't any dance. It's a time for students to choose, um...a mate, and then we can...[[{{Metaphorgotten}} observe their mating rituals and tag them before they migrate]]." Just kill me!
* During an earthquake, the Master gives a [[LargeHam hammy]] 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:
--> '''The Master''': What do you think? 5.1?
* After Buffy spurns his declaration of love, Xander tells Willow he's going to go home, lie down, and "[[SongsOfSolace listen to country music... the music of pain]]."
** When Willow tries to call him later on, Xander is [[BrickJoke sprawled on his bed with the phone off the hook as Patsy Cline plays in the background]].
* While they're on their way to the Master's lair, Xander accuses Angel of checking out his neck, they bicker back and forth like a married couple, and Xander says, "I told you to eat before we left."
* The GagEcho of everyone telling Buffy that they like her dress (even the Master after he's killed her). The closing lines of the episode?
--> '''Angel''': By the way, I really like your--\\
'''Buffy''': Yeah, yeah, it's a big hit with everyone.

[[folder:TV series: Season 2]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E1WhenSheWasBad When She Was Bad]]" (2x01)]]
* Snyder's lecture to Giles on the danger of adolescents.
-->'''Snyder''': Someone's gotta keep an eye on 'em. They're just a bunch of hormonal time bombs. Why, every time a pretty girl walks by, every boy turns into a gibbering fool.\\
'''Giles''': ''[having wandered off and made [[DramaticIrony eye contact with Jenny]]]'' Well, I-I uh, um--''[lips move]''--hello.
* Another line from Snyder:
-->'''Snyder''': There are some things I can just smell. It's like a sixth sense.\\
'''Giles''': [[DeadpanSnarker No, actually, that would be one of the five]].
* Cordy makes a suggestion.
-->'''Buffy''': Cordelia, your mouth is open, sound is coming from it. This is never good.
* This exchange:
-->'''Willow''': What's making Buffy act like such a [[CensorshipBySpelling B-I-T-C-H]]?\\
'''Giles''': Willow, I think we're a little old to be spelling words out.\\
'''Xander''': A... "bitca"?\\
'''Giles''': Yes. Well...
* The vampires send a message that Cordelia has been captured and unless Buffy comes alone, they'll make her a meal. Xander worriedly asks if they're going to cook her dinner, then [[OpenMouthInsertFoot realizes what they meant]] and says [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain "I'm going to pretend I didn't just say that."]] It's Buffy and Willow's "did you really just ''say'' that?" looks that really sell it.
* Last line:
-->'''The Anointed One''': ''[looking at the dust remains of all his underlings]'' I hate that girl.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E2SomeAssemblyRequired Some Assembly Required]]" (2x02)]]
* When Angel walks off during their argument, Buffy declared that it'll take more than that to get rid of her - and she promptly falls into an open grave.
* Buffy and Xander walk on Giles rehearsing what to say to Jenny.
-->'''Buffy''': Boy, I guess we never realized how much you like that chair.
** Buffy and Xander give Giles dating advice:
--->'''Giles''': I--I--I was just working on... ''[knocks over a few books]''\\
'''Buffy''': Your pickup lines?\\
'''Giles''': ''(bends down)'' Um, in a manner of speaking, yes. ''[picks up the books]''\\
'''Buffy''': Then if you wouldn't mind a little [[Creator/GeneSiskel Gene]] and [[Creator/RogerEbert Roger]], you might wanna leave off the 'idiot' part. Being called an idiot tends to take people out of the dating mood.\\
'''Xander''': Hmm, it actually kinda turns me on. ''[looks at Buffy]''\\
'''Buffy''': ''[to Xander]'' I fear you. ''[goes to the table]'' You also might wanna avoid words like 'amenable' and 'indecorous', y'know. Speak English, not whatever they speak in, um...\\
'''Giles''': England?\\
'''Buffy''': Yeah. You just say, 'Hey, I got a thing, you maybe have a thing, maybe we could have a thing.'\\
'''Giles''': ''[sarcastically]'' Well, thank you, Cyrano.\\
'''Buffy''': I'm not finished. Then you say, 'How do you feel about Mexican?'\\
'''Giles''': About Mexicans?\\
'''Buffy''': Mexican. Food. You take her for food, for which you then pay. ''[sits at the table]''\\
'''Giles''': Oh. Right.\\
'''Xander''': So this chair-woman. We are talking Ms. Calendar, right?\\
'''Giles''': W-what makes you think that?\\
'''Xander''': ''[sits]'' Simple deduction. Ms. Calendar is reasonably dollsome, especially for someone in your age bracket. She already knows that you're a school librarian, so you don't have to worry about how to break that embarrassing news to her.\\
'''Buffy''': And she's the only woman we've actually ever seen speak to you. Add it all up and it all spells 'duh'.\\
'''Xander''': Now, is it time to have a talk about the facts of life?\\
'''Giles''': You know, I'm suddenly deciding this is none of your business. ''[starts up the stairs]''\\
'''Xander''': Y'know, because that whole stork thing is a smokescreen.\\
''[Giles stops and looks back at him. Buffy laughs to herself.]''
* Buffy tells Giles that while on patrol, she and Angel found an empty grave:
-->'''Giles''': [[NightmareFetishist 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.
* Cordelia is whining about no one giving her sympathy, so without missing a beat, Giles pats her on the shoulder. Even better, Cordelia reacts by shrugging, almost saying "[[ActuallyPrettyFunny Okay, that was deserved]]."
-->'''Giles''': There, there.
* This gem from Cordelia:
-->'''Cordelia''': Why is it that every conversation you people have has the word 'corpse' in it?
** The gang prepare to go and exhume a grave, with Willow excitingly declaring it a field trip.
--->'''Xander''': So, we're set then. Say, nineish? BYO shovel?\\
'''Willow''': And I'll pack some food. Who else likes those little powdered doughnuts?\\
'''Xander''': Me.\\
'''Willow''': Cordelia?\\
'''Cordelia''': Darn, I have cheerleader practice tonight. Boy, I wish I knew we were gonna be digging up dead people sooner. I would've canceled.\\
'''Xander''': All right, but if you come across the army of zombies, can you page us before they eat your flesh?\\
''[Cordelia huffs and leaves the library.]''\\
'''Giles''': Xander?\\
'''Xander''': Huh?\\
'''Giles''': Zombies don't eat the flesh of the living.\\
'''Xander''': Yeah, I knew that. But did you see the look on her face?
* Willow tells Buffy that Daryl was a football star that all the girls were crazy for.
-->'''Buffy:''' And he broke Cordy's heart? Thus possibly proving its existence.
* After encountering parts of the missing girls:
-->'''Cordelia:''' It was horrible. Angel saved me from an arm. God, there were so many parts. They were everywhere. Why are these terrible things always happening to ''me''?\\
'''Xander:''' ''[fake cough]'' Karma!
* Giles' reaction to Jenny asking him out on a date.
--> '''Giles''': What should I wear?\\
'''Jenny''': ''[looks him up and down]'' Do you own anything else?

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E3SchoolHard School Hard]]" (2x03)]]
* Buffy chides Angel for not picking up on her hints, after he's (potentially) dated for 200 years. Leading Willow to put her foot way deep into her throat:
-->'''Willow''': Wow. Two centuries of dating. If you had two a year that's still 400 different dates with 400 different... ''[Buffy glares]'' [[ShuttingUpNow Why do they call it a mace]]?
* Xander goes through Buffy's handbag looking for a stake and finds a tampon. He hurriedly throws it in the air when he realizes what it is.
* After Angel [[StealthHiBye splits suddenly and soundlessly from the library]] ''[[RunningGag again]]'':
-->'''Xander''': Okay, that's it. I'm putting a collar with a little bell on that guy.
* Spike finishes off his badass tirade by asking if the current Slayer is tough. Cut to Buffy in her pyjamas, glaring at herself in the mirror and muttering "Ow!" under her breath as she brushes a stubborn tangle out of her hair.
* Spike trying to get Drusilla to eat something when it's implied she either forgets or chooses not to sounds heartwarming... until Spike brings out a BoundAndGagged woman for her to drink the blood from. Remember, they're still vampires, so this is what "eating" means for them.
* Buffy makes lemonade. Willow's excited by the prospect and takes a swig... only to discover [[LethalChef Buffy]] isn't aware that ''sugar'' is usually an ingredient.
** After Cordelia insults Buffy, Willow offers her a glass. We sadly don't see her reaction, probably because it would have been ''too'' precious.
* Xander and Angel arrive at the school, and Xander asks if he has a plan. Angel grabs him by the throat, and he says, "Good plan."
* When Spike and Angel are reunited.
-->'''Angel:''' I taught you to always guard your perimeter. Tsk tsk tsk. You should have someone out there.\\
'''Spike:''' I did. I'm surrounded by idiots.
* Willow and Cordelia are hiding in the storage closet, and Cordy starts praying.
-->'''Cordelia''': And if you get me out of this, I swear I'll never be mean to anyone ever again. Unless they really deserve it or if it's that time of the month, in which case I don't think you or anyone else can hold me responsible--\\
'''Willow''': Ask for some aspirin.\\
'''Cordelia''': And can you please send some asp-- Hey!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E4IncaMummyGirl Inca Mummy Girl]]" (2x04)]]
* Asked if he's ever done student exchange, Xander replies, "My dad tried to sell me to some Armenians once. Does that count?
* When Willow prevents Buffy from confronting a delinquent student, telling her the "non-violent" approach is probably better here:
-->'''Buffy''': I wasn't gonna use violence. I don't always use violence... Do I?\\
'''Xander''': The important thing is ''you'' believe that.
* Buffy's grousing about the expectations that come with being the ChosenOne.
-->'''Giles:''' You have responsibilities that other girls do not.\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh! I know this one! "Slaying entails certain sacrifices--blah, blah, bitty blah--I'm so stuffy, give me a scone."\\
'''Giles:''' ''[deadpan]'' It's as if you know me.
* After Willow reports that Rodney is missing, they start joking about what might have happened to him.
-->'''Xander:''' Hey, maybe he awakened the mummy.\\
'''Willow:''' Right, and it rose from its tomb.\\
'''Buffy:''' And attacked him.\\
''[OhCrap expressions as they remember that they live in a universe where things like this are actually possible]''
* Willow is bummed because of Xander's thing with "Ampata".
-->'''Buffy:''' Ampata's only staying two weeks.\\
'''Willow:''' Yeah, and then Xander can find someone else who's not me to obsess about. At least with you, I knew he didn't have a shot. Well, you know, I have a choice. I can spend my life waiting for Xander to go out with every other girl in the world until he notices me, or I can just get on with my life.\\
'''Buffy:''' Good for you.\\
'''Willow:''' Well, I didn't choose yet.
* Xander babbles incoherently on seeing "Ampata" dressed up for the dance.
-->'''Buffy:''' I can translate American Salivating Boy talk. He says you're beautiful.\\
'''Xander:''' ''[babbles at Buffy]''\\
'''Buffy:''' You're welcome.
* Willow's Eskimo costume is a bit of a hindrance.
-->'''Xander:''' Have you seen Ampata?\\
'''Willow:''' ''[jerky motion]''\\
'''Xander:''' What was that?\\
'''Willow:''' I shrugged.\\
'''Xander:''' Next time, you should probably say, "Shrug." ''[leaves]''\\
'''Willow:''' Sigh.
* Buffy's tells Willow that "Ampata" is the mummy, and Willow is actually [[SkewedPriorities happy for a second]] before realizing that this means Xander is in danger.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E5ReptileBoy Reptile Boy]]" (2x05)]]
* In the ColdOpen, Buffy, Willow, and Xander are watching a Bollywood film.
-->'''Xander:''' Is she dying?\\
'''Buffy:''' I think she's singing.\\
'''Xander:''' To a telephone, in Hindi. Now that's entertainment. Why is she ''singing''?\\
'''Willow:''' She's sad because her lover gave her twelve gold coins, but then the wizard cut open the bag of salt, and now the dancing minions have nowhere to put their big maypole...fish thing.\\
'''Buffy:''' Uh-huh.\\
'''Xander:''' Why is she ''singing''?\\
'''Buffy:''' Her lover? I thought it was her chiropractor.\\
'''Willow:''' Because of that thing he did with her feet? No, that was personal.\\
'''Xander:''' Hmm. And we thought just because we didn't have any money or anyplace to go, this'd be a lackluster evening.\\
'''Willow:''' I know, we could go to the Bronze and sneak in our own tea bags and ask for hot water.\\
'''Xander:''' Hop off the outlaw train, Will, before you land us all in jail.\\
'''Buffy:''' I for one am giddy and up. There's a kind of hush all over Sunnydale, no demons or vampires to slay, I'm here with my friends....So how does the water buffalo fit in again?
** Buffy and Xander are braiding Willow's hair...or rather Xander is. Buffy's comically hopeless at it.
* Giles chides Buffy for not training 24/7.
-->'''Giles:''' You yawned your way through weapons training last week, you skipped hand-to-hand entirely--are you going to be prepared if a demon springs up behind you and does this? ''[attacks from behind, only for Buffy to casually catch his arm and twist it behind his back]'' Yeah, well, I'm not a demon...which is why you should let go now. Thank you.\\
[...]\\
'''Giles:''' Well, here's a hard fact of life: We all have to do things we don't like. And you have hand-to-hand this afternoon and patrol tonight, so I suggest you come straight here at the end of Period 6, and you get your homework done. And don't dawdle with your friends.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[perfect {{Moe}} expression]''\\
'''Giles:''' And don't think sitting there pouting is going to get to me, because it won't.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[perfect {{Moe}} expression]''\\
'''Giles:''' It's not getting to me.
* Willow Rosenberg, CovertPervert.
-->'''Willow''': ''[to Buffy]'' You'd rather go to a party where there's going to be drinking and older guys and possibly an orgy. ''[to Xander]'' You want to protect her. And prove that you're just as good as those rich snotty guys. And possibly catch an orgy.\\
'''Xander''': If it's on early.
* After Angel is called for help to the library, Willow gets distracted by the lack of his reflection on the window. Then asks him how he shaves.
* As Xander walks off being humiliated, he grouses, "One day I'll have money...prestige, power...and on that day, they'll still have more."
* When Buffy mentions that Angel smelled blood on the broken bracelet, Xander says, "There's a guy you want to party with." Then Angel, Willow, and Giles arrive at the frat house and are met by Xander, who reports that the frat brothers went down into the basement wearing robes.
-->'''Giles:''' They may be involved in some kind of ritual.\\
'''Willow:''' With the missing girls.\\
'''Angel:''' ''[growling in GameFace]'' With ''Buffy''.\\
'''Xander:''' Okay, that ''is'' the guy you want to party with.
* Also this, after the gang comes to rescue Buffy (who pretty much rescued herself) from the frat house party turned attempted {{human sacrifice}}:
-->'''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 to you" are a tad redundant at this juncture.
* This exchange:
-->'''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.
** And the whole time this exchange is happening, Xander is busy reading a newspaper. Creator/NicholasBrendon's delivery absolutely seals it.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E6Halloween Halloween]]" (2x06)]]
* The entirety of Buffy's attempts to distract Giles while Willow sneaks in and steals the Watchers' Diaries. Particularly Creator/SarahMichelleGellar's delivery of "look at me when I talk to you". The thing that distracts Giles from his suspicions? "Miss Calendar said you were a babe", which also earns her a disapproving shake of the head from Willow.
* Drusilla is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} wonderfully random]].
-->'''Drusilla''': Do you love my insides? The parts you can't see.\\
'''Spike''': Eyeballs to entrails, my sweet.
* Oz establishes himself as an EnsembleDarkhorse with this great response.
-->'''Cordelia''': Is Mister "I'm the lead singer, I'm so great I don't need to show up for my date or even call" going to be there?\\
'''Oz''': Yeah, you know, he's just going by "Devon" now.
* Xander briefs his "troops" before taking them trick-or-treating.
-->'''Xander:''' Okay, on sleazing extra candy: Tears are key. Tears will normally get you the double-bagger. You can also try the old "You missed me" routine, but it's risky. Only go there for chocolate, understood?\\
''[kids nod]''
* Willow trying to deal with amnesiac Buffy and Xander.
--> '''Buffy''': Buffy?\\
'''Willow''': She's not Buffy.\\
'''Xander''': Who's Buffy?\\
'''Willow''': Oh, this is fun.
* Since Xander dresses as a soldier, Buffy dresses as an 18th-century noblewoman, and Willow dresses as a ghost, things are predictably hectic when their costumes take them over.
* Princess-Buffy starts screaming at the sight of a "demon" that turns out to be just a car. When Willow tells her this, she asks in a terrified voice "What does it want?" Soldier-Xander's reaction is "Is this woman insane?".
-->'''Soldier-Xander''': ''[with Buffy clinging to him after seeing a car]'' She's never seen a car?\\
'''Ghost-Willow''': She's from the past.\\
'''Soldier-Xander''': And you're a ghost.\\
'''Ghost-Willow''': Yes, now let's get inside?\\
'''Soldier-Xander''': Just want you to know I'm taking a lot on faith here.
* Willow laments that Buffy didn't dress up as [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]].
* Once the costumes take over the children, Spike observes the chaos with a shit-eating grin on his face. You may as well have given him popcorn.
-->'''Spike''': Well! This is just...[[NightmareFetishist neat]]!
* Giles wonders what Willow's costume is supposed to be. She shyly replies that she's a ghost. He takes in the hot goth outfit that was underneath the ghost costume and says, "Yes, but, um...Well, the ghost of ''what'', exactly?"
* The first indication that their original personalities are still there:
-->'''Soldier-Xander''': It's weird, but beating up that pirate [[note]]who bullied Xander[[/note]] gave me a weird sense of closure.
* Spike's about to bite Buffy when the spell is broken. He notices the kids are back to normal before seeing Buffy's wig has come off. She pops up and says brightly, "Hi, honey. I'm home," before beating him up.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E7LieToMe Lie to Me]]" (2x07)]]
* Cordelia's take on Marie Antoinette:
-->'''Cordelia''': I just don't see why everyone's always picking on Marie Antoinette. I can ''so'' relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good, and people [[ItsAllAboutMe just don't appreciate that kind of effort]]! And I ''know'' the peasants were all depressed...\\
'''Xander''': I think you mean ''oppressed''.\\
'''Cordelia''': Whatever. ''[...]'' And -- and Marie Antoinette cared about them. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake She was gonna let them have cake]].
* Angel says, "Things used to be pretty simple. A hundred years just hanging out, feeling guilty...I really honed my brooding skills."
* Angel laments the shallow [[VampireVannabe vampire fanboys]]:
-->'''Angel''': These people don't know anything about vampires. What they are, how they live, how they dress...\\
''[Cue a teen walking past in an outfit identical to his]''
* Jenny takes Giles on a date to a monster truck show, or as Giles calls it, the "nitro-burning funny cars". Oh, if only we could have seen that.
** Even Buffy is surprised that Jenny thought Giles would enjoy monster trucks.
* When we learn what Ford is up to...
-->'''Spike''': ''[after Ford walks into the factory]'' Do I have anyone on watch here?! It's called security, people! Are you all asleep? ''[{{Beat}}]'' Or did we finally find a restaurant that delivers?
** While negotiating with Spike, Ford tries to get Spike to play along with his idea of what to say.
--->'''Ford''': I'm pretty sure [[ThisIsThePartWhere this is the part where you take out a watch and say I've got thirty seconds to convince you not to kill me]]. It's traditional.
--->'''Spike''': Well, I don't go much for tradition. ''(prepares to kill Ford, but is stopped by Drusilla)'' Well?
--->'''Ford''': Oh, come on. Say it. It's no fun if you don't say it.
--->'''Spike''': [[FlatWhat What]]? ''(groans a little and rolls his eyes)'' You've got thirty seconds to convince me not to kill you.
--->'''Ford''': [[BigYes Yes]]! See, this is the best.
** Drusilla convinces Spike to hear Ford out. Spike's reaction to Ford wanting to be a vampire?
--->'''Spike''': I've known you for ''two minutes'' and I don't like you. I really don't feature you living forever. Can I eat him now, love?
* Willow mentions that Angel was in her bedroom, and a minute later, it registers with Xander.
-->'''Xander:''' Angel was in your ''bedroom''?\\
'''Willow:''' Ours is a forbidden love.
* Buffy trying to reason with the vampire wannabes, but is distracted by a guy dressed as Dracula.
-->'''Buffy''': I'm trying to save you! You're playing in some serious traffic here, do you understand that? You're gonna DIE. The only hope you have of surviving is to get out of this pit right now and [[MoodWhiplash my God could you HAVE a dorkier outfit]]?\\
'''Ford''': Gotta back her up, D. You look like a big ninny.
* And when the vampires get locked inside, Spike's delivery of "Where's the doorknob?".

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E8TheDarkAge The Dark Age]]" (2x08)]]
* Giles' exasperation with Buffy playing loud music while exercising in the library:
-->'''Giles''': ''[covering his ears and shouting over the music]'' Must we have this noise during your calisthenics?!\\
'''Buffy''': It's not noise; it's music!\\
'''Giles''': I know music! Music has notes! This is noise!\\
'''Buffy''': I'm aerobicizing! I must have the beat!\\
'''Giles''': Wonderful. You work on your muscle tone while my brain dribbles out of my ears.
* This bit:
-->'''Buffy:''' Have I ever let you down?\\
'''Giles:''' Do you want me to answer that, or shall I just glare?
* Buffy, Xander, and Willow watching Giles and Jenny walk off together, and commenting on how cute they look before Willow remarks, "Can't you just imagine them getting together?" A {{beat}} passes, then the trio hurriedly walk off.
* Jenny {{troll}}ing Giles by telling him she damaged a book he lent her:
-->'''Jenny''': You know how you dog-ear your favorite pages so you can go back to them?\\
'''Giles''': What?\\
'''Jenny''': I had to fold back every single page. So I just started underlining all the pages I wanted to discuss.\\
'''Giles''': Underlined?\\
'''Jenny''': But then I spilled coffee all over it. I can't even read it.\\
'''Giles''': It's a first edition.\\
'''Jenny''': I'm lying, Rupert. The book's fine. I just love to see you squirm.\\
'''Giles:''' Oh. Well, I trust I gave good...squirm.\\
'''Jenny:''' Did anyone ever tell you you're kind of a fuddy duddy?\\
'''Giles:''' Nobody ever seems to tell me anything else.\\
'''Jenny:''' Did anyone ever tell you you're kind of a sexy fuddy duddy?\\
'''Giles:''' No, actually, that part usually gets left out. I can't imagine why.
* Buffy stakes out a hospital the night a monthly supply of blood is being delivered, and while she fights some vampires who try to steal the blood, she's helped out by Angel. When Buffy asks Angel how he knew about the shipment...
-->'''Angel''': It's delivery day. Everybody knows about this.
* This exchange between Ethan and Buffy after she catches him snooping in the library:
-->'''Buffy''': You ran that costume shop.\\
'''Ethan''': Oh, I'm pleased you remember.\\
'''Buffy''': That Halloween dress you sold me nearly got us killed.\\
'''Ethan''': But you looked great. ''[gets punched by Buffy]''
* When Eyghon-Phillip crashes into the library and advances on them, Ethan shows just how big a [[DirtyCoward coward]] he is [[HumanShield by hiding behind Buffy]].
* Xander starting to thank Eyghon-Phillip for interrupting his computer studies session, only for Eyghon-Phillip to crash against the cage door.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E9WhatsMyLinePart1 What's My Line? Part 1]]" (2x09)]]
* The insanity of multiple-choice aptitude tests.
-->'''Buffy:''' Do I like shrubs?\\
'''Xander''': That's between you and your god.
* The vampire bookworm Dalton tries to translate a text with Spike.
-->'''Dalton:''' I'm not sure. It could be, uh, "''deprimere ille bubula linter''".\\
'''Spike:''' "Debase...the beef...canoe." ''[{{beat}}, then he whacks Dalton]'' Why does that strike me as not right?
* Buffy comes home to find the hilariously adorable sight of Angel holding Mr. Gordo.
* Willow falls asleep at the library computer, and Giles shakes her awake.
-->'''Willow''': ''[jolting upright]'' [[WakingNonSequitur DON'T WARN THE TADPOLES]]!
* [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Xander pays Cordelia back for two years of abuse]].
-->'''Cordelia''': What am I, mass transportation?\\
'''Xander''': That's what a lot of the guys say, but it's just locker-room talk.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E10WhatsMyLinePart2 What's My Line? Part 2]]" (2x10)]]
* Willow is a little too quick to leap to Buffy's defense.
-->'''Kendra:''' Did I not see you kissing a vampire?\\
'''Willow:''' Buffy would never do that! ''[Buffy gives her a "WTF" look]'' Oh...except for...sometimes you do that. But only with Angel...Right?
* Willy delivers Angel to Spike. And then [[AskAStupidQuestion asks a stupid question]].
-->'''Willy''': What're you gonna do with him, anyway?\\
'''Spike''': [[SarcasmMode I'm thinking... maybe dinner and a movie. I don't want to rush into anything. I've been hurt, you know.]]
* Cordelia says Xander would let a girl go get herself killed. Xander snarks, "Not just any girl. You're special."
* Buffy's aptitude test results placed her in law enforcement or "environmental design", AKA landscaping.
-->'''Buffy:''' [[CallBack I checked the shrub box.]]
* Kendra picks up a loaded crossbow.
-->'''Buffy:''' Be careful with that thing.\\
'''Kendra:''' [[TemptingFate Please. I'm an expert in all weapons.]] ''[the crossbow fires a bolt into a lamp]''\\
'''Giles:''' Is everything all right?\\
'''Buffy:''' Yeah, it's okay. Kendra killed the bad lamp.
* At the end, when Buffy and Kendra say their goodbyes.
-->'''Kendra:''' Thank you for the shirt. It was very generous of you.\\
'''Buffy:''' Hey, it looks better on...well, me, but no worries.
** They have a moment, and Buffy goes in for a hug.
--->'''Kendra:''' I don't hug.\\
'''Buffy:''' Right. No. Good. Hate hugs.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E11Ted Ted]]" (2x11)]]
* Ted offers to give some computer software to Willow, and she responds with the most high-pitched giggle you can possibly imagine. The closed captioning reads "[Excited babbling]".
-->'''Xander''': That's the sound she makes when she's speechless with geeker joy.
* Buffy tells Ted and Joyce she's "okay" with their relationship. Cut to Buffy absolutely [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating the ever-loving piss]] out of a poor vampire.
-->'''Buffy''': ''[after staking]'' I mean, people are perfectly happy getting along, and then vampires come and they run around and they kill people and they take over your whole house, they start making these stupid little mini-pizzas and everyone's like, "Oh, look! A mini-pizza!" but I'm telling you, I have--\\
'''Giles''': Buffy, I--I believe the subtext here is rapidly becoming, uh, text.
* Angel is having his hand wrapped up in gauze, but his pained expression 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.
-->'''Angel''': So you going to talk about something else at some point?
* Cordelia and Xander are still keeping their assignations a secret, and after some biting dialogue...
-->'''Xander:''' You want to go to the utility closet and make out?\\
'''Cordelia:''' ''[irritated]'' God! Is that all you ever think about?! ''[thinks about it for a second]'' Okay.
* While patrolling, Giles realizes someone is behind him. He squeaks and turns to hold up a cross.
-->'''Jenny:''' I get that reaction from men all the time.
* After Ted is done...
-->'''Willow''': The sad thing is, the real Ted must have been a genius. There were design features in that robot that predate--\\
'''Buffy''': 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''': [[ForScience I—I just wanna learn stuff]]!\\
'''Cordelia''': Like how to build your own serial killer?\\
'''Xander''': Well, it's so hard to rent one nowadays.
* Buffy's talking as she starts to go in the library, and cuts herself off to say, "Okay. That's it. I give up. Do I have to sound an air horn every time I walk into a room? I mean, what is it with grownups these days?" Turns out she walked in on Giles and Jenny kissing.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E12BadEggs Bad Eggs]]" (2x12)]]
* Joyce nixes an outfit Buffy wants to buy.
-->'''Buffy:''' But I looked good in it!\\
'''Joyce:''' You looked like a streetwalker.\\
'''Buffy:''' But a thin streetwalker. ''[sees her mom's face]'' That's probably not gonna be the winning argument, is it?
* Buffy has an opinion about where her mom shops for clothes.
-->'''Buffy:''' Why didn't you just go to Muumuus "R" Us?\\
'''Joyce:''' ''[dryly]'' Do now, make fun of your mother later.
* A girl plays pinball, completely oblivious to her date's vamp face behind her
-->'''Lyle:''' Well, ain't you just got the prettiest little neck I ever did see?\\
'''Buffy:''' Boy...you guys really never come up with any new lines, do you?\\
'''Girl:''' Do you mind? We were talking here.\\
'''Buffy:''' But you promised you'd never cheat on me again, honey.
* Mr. Whitmore, noticing Buffy's absence, gave Willow an egg to pass along to her.
-->'''Buffy:''' As far as punishments go, this is fairly abstract.\\
'''Willow:''' No, it's your baby!\\
'''Buffy:''' ...Okay, I get it even less.
** After the assignment is explained....
--->'''Buffy:''' ''[terrified]'' I can't do this. I can't take care of things. I killed my Gigapet. I mean, literally. I sat on it and it broke.
** Buffy's face when she learns she doesn't have a partner.
--->'''Buffy:''' I'm a single mother?\\
'''Xander:''' No man of her own.\\
'''Buffy:''' Do you know what this says about me? That I am doomed to lead my mother's life. How deeply scary is that?
* Willow suggests enlisting Angel's help in finding the Gorches.
-->'''Xander:''' Oh, right, I see a lot of hunting getting done in that scenario.\\
'''Buffy:''' Please. Like Angel and I are just helpless slaves to passion. Grow up.\\
''[GilliganCut to Buffy and Angel making out]''
** The next day, Buffy plans to go looking for the Gorches again.
--->'''Willow:''' And Angel's helping you, right?\\
'''Buffy:''' ...He does what he can.\\
''[GilliganCut to Buffy and Angel making out]''
* "You boiled your young?"
* Xander decides that there’s nothing left to eat, so he may as well eat his egg.
-->'''Xander''': Sorry, Junior.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E13Surprise Surprise]]" (2x13)]]
* Oz asks Willow out.
-->'''Oz:''' ''[levelly]'' I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night...and I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. It's interesting\\
'''Willow:''' Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say yes.\\
'''Oz:''' Yeah, it helps. It, it creates a comfort zone....Do you want to go out with me tomorrow night?\\
'''Willow:''' Oh, I can't!\\
'''Oz:''' ''[{{beat}}]'' Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable.
* Buffy's surprise party, after being crashed by vampires:
-->'''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.
* Dalton is trying to justify his failure to Drusilla, who merely puts her finger to his lips, plucks his glasses off his face, and stomps on them. After she's convinced not to gouge out his eyes in favor of giving him a second chance, she puts the ruined glasses back on him, says, "Okay. Hurry back, then," and pats him on the head."
* Giles has been reading about the Judge.
-->'''Giles:''' His touch can literally burn the humanity out of you. A true creature of evil can survive the process; no human ever has.\\
'''Xander:''' What's the problem? We send Cordy to fight this guy, and we go for pizza.
* The Judge killing Dalton by touching him is scary. Drusilla's excited "Do it again" [[PsychopathicManchild like a child being shown a magic trick]] is darkly hilarious.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E14Innocence Innocence]]" (2x14)]]
* Drusilla's always good for a laugh:
-->'''Drusilla''': I'm naming all the stars...\\
'''Spike''': You can't see the stars. That's the ceiling, Dru. Also, it's day.\\
'''Drusilla''': I ''can'' see them. But I've named them all the same name, and there's terrible confusion.
* After the newly soulless Angel says he doesn't want to kill Buffy:
-->'''Spike''': ''[to Angelus]'' ...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.
* Xander's accurate summation of [[HormoneAddledTeenager teenage hormones]].
-->'''Cordelia''': Does looking at guns really make guys want to have sex?\\
'''Xander''': I'm seventeen. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.
* While Willow and Oz wait in the van for Xander and Cordelia to steal the rocket launcher:
-->'''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.
* Angelus saying to the Judge, "Don't you look spiffy?"
-->'''Judge:''' Spiffy?
* This [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments CMOF]], also a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome [=CMOA=]]] and the excuse for one of Creator/JossWhedon's favorite props:
-->'''The Judge''': ''[gloating]'' No weapon forged can defeat me!\\
'''Buffy''': That was then... ''[shoulders an [[MugglesDoItBetter anti-tank rocket launcher]]]'' [[TechnologyMarchesOn This is now]].\\
''[Angel and Drusilla begin to dive out of the way]''\\
'''The Judge''': ''[curious]'' What's that do? ''[gets blown to little bitty pieces]''
** Funnier and... and [[BuffySpeak awesomer]], for once it's Angelus and Drusilla who go "OhCrap," DoubleTake, "ThisIsGonnaSuck, ScrewThisImOuttaHere".
** Dru's freaking out after the explosion.
* While Buffy deals with Angelus, the rest of the Scoobies gather up the remains of the Judge.
-->'''Oz''': Uh...arm.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E15Phases Phases]]" (2x15)]]
* After several werewolf attacks, the students are being taught self-defense. After the instructor explains these are simple techniques, Buffy offers an idea to Willow.
-->'''Buffy''': Here's a suggestion: Move away from the Hellmouth.
* 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:
-->'''Theresa''': No, actually, I think in our group, there are a few of us.\\
'''Buffy''': And I'm one of the few.
* 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.
-->'''Willow''': Don't forget, you're supposed to be a meek little girlie-girl like the rest of us.\\
'''Buffy''': ''[complaining]'' Spoil my fun.
** After pouting, Buffy does anyway when she pretends to struggle with the moves she was shown to do and Larry grabs her ass.
--->'''Oz''': ''[after seeing Larry thrown down ''hard'']'' That works, too.
* Giles and Buffy are looking around the makeout spot for the werewolf.
-->'''Giles:''' Anything yet?\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[excited]'' Yes, and you won't ''believe'' what I saw. Brittany Podell was making out with Owen Stadeel, but he goes with Barrett Williams. If she ''ever'' found-- ''[catches his expression]'' No. Um, no--no sign of the werewolf. How about you?\\
'''Giles:''' Uh, the same. I thought we might, uh, I though we might knock on a few windows, uh, ask if anyone has seen anything yet.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''["Are you serious?" look]'' Giles, no one's seen anything.
* Xander talking to Larry about being a werewolf, telling him he'd gone through the same thing when he was part of "The Pack."
-->'''Xander''': Hurting me isn't going to make this go away; people are still going to find out.\\
'''Larry''': ''[looking scared]'' Alright. What do you want? Hush money? Is that what you're after?\\
'''Xander''': I don't WANT anything; I just wanna help!\\
'''Larry''': What, you think you have a cure?\\
'''Xander''': ''[talking about his time in The Pack]'' No, it's just... I know what you're going through because I've BEEN there. That's why I know you should talk about it.\\
'''Larry''': That's easy for you to say. You're nobody. I got a reputation.\\
'''Xander''': Larry, please, before someone else gets hurt!\\
'''Larry''': Look, if this gets out, it's over for me. Forget about playing football, they'll run me out of this town! I mean, come on, how are people gonna look at me after they find out I'm gay?\\
'''Xander''': ''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Larry''': I said it... and it felt... okay! I'm gay! I am gay!\\
'''Xander''': I heard you the first time.\\
'''Larry''': I don't believe it. It was almost easy. I never felt I could tell anyone, and then you... you of all people... you bring it out of me... Knowing you went through the same thing... made it easier for me to admit it!\\
'''Xander''': The same thing... Larry, no, I'm not--\\
'''Larry''': ''[pats Xander on the shoulder]'' Don't worry. I wouldn't do that to you. Your secret's safe with me. ''[gives Xander a thumbs-up and walks out, leaving Xander there, shocked]''
** Later:
--->'''Buffy:''' So how'd it go with Larry?\\
'''Xander:''' ''[panicked]'' What's that supposed to mean?\\
'''Buffy:''' I think it's supposed to mean, so how'd it go with Larry?\\
'''Xander:''' He's not the werewolf. Can't we just leave it at that? Must you continue to push and push?
** And yet later, after Larry thanks him without saying why.
--->'''Buffy:''' That was weird.\\
'''Xander:''' ''[panicked]'' What, it's not okay for one guy to like another guy just because he happened to be in the locker room with him when absolutely nothing happened and I thought I told you not to push!\\
'''Buffy:''' All I meant is that he didn't try to look up my skirt.\\
'''Xander:''' Oh, oh, yeah, that's--that's the weirdness.
* Buffy checks in on Willow's progress screening student files for behavior that might suggest lycanthropy.
-->'''Willow:''' There is one name that keeps getting spit out. Aggressive behavior, run-ins with authorities. About a screenful of violent incidents.\\
'''Buffy:''' Okay, most of those were not my fault. Somebody else started them. I was just standing up for myself.\\
'''Willow:''' They say it's a good idea to count to ten when you're angry.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''One...two...three...

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E16BewitchedBotheredAndBewildered Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered]]" (2x16)]]
* Xander shows Buffy the heart necklace he bought for Cordelia.
-->'''Xander:''' So what do you think?\\
'''Buffy:''' It's nice.\\
'''Xander:''' But do you think Cordelia will like it?\\
'''Buffy:''' I don't know. Will she know what one of these is?\\
'''Xander:''' Ha ha. Okay, big yuks. When are you guys going to stop making fun of me for dating Cordelia?\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[contrite]'' I'm sorry. But never.
* Angel presenting Drusilla with a literal, still-warm heart for Valentine's Day? Horrible. The line "I found it in a quaint little shopgirl"? Horrible and funny.
* Xander confronts Amy about her using magic.
-->'''Xander:''' BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord.\\
'''Amy:''' I didn't say blackmail.\\
'''Xander:''' Yeah, but I'm about to blackmail you, so I thought I'd bring it up.
* Buffy demands to know just how bad Angelus is, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor and Giles reads out a list of his past atrocities]]. The fragment we hear is blackly hilarious:
-->'''Giles''': Look, here's another. Here. Erm, Valentine's Day, yes, erm... "Angel nails a puppy to the--"\\
'''Buffy''': [[{{Squick}} Skip it. I don't have a puppy. I don't want to know. Skip it]].
* After Xander sees that somehow Buffy and Amy got targeted by the love spell, he tries to hide at home in his room. Unfortunately, Willow is awaiting him, wearing [[SexyShirtSwitch one of his shirts]] and nothing else. She does everything in her power to seduce Xander, going to lengths not seen even when she later tries to make up with Oz. Xander decides he has to be a man, [[HypocriticalHumor and hide (or rather run)]].
** This:
--->'''Willow:''' I want you, Xander...to be my first.\\
'''Xander:''' ...baseman. Please tell me we're talking baseball.\\
[...]\\
'''Willow:''' Is it Oz? Don't worry about him. He's sweet, but...he's not you.\\
'''Xander:''' Yes, he is. And you should go to him. 'Cause he's me.
* The parody of a hot stud slow-mo walking through the hallway, with Xander looking freaked out.
* At the library, Xander 'fesses up to Giles about the love spell gone bad. A moment later, Jenny strides in, determined to talk things out with Giles, but gets totally distracted by Xander, who gives a helpless "See what I mean?" shrug.
-->'''Giles:''' I cannot believe that you were fool enough to do something like this.\\
'''Xander:''' Oh, no, I'm twice the fool it takes to do something like this.
* Xander tries to barricade himself in the library. He puts a huge piece of furniture in front of the door. Buffy effortlessly enters; unfortunately, that door opens the other way.
** It should be noted that the same door definitely didn't do that in other episodes, such as prominently the Season 1 finale, when vampires tried to enter the place.
*** As seen earlier in the episode, the door can swing both ways.
** He tries this again with the door to Buffy's basement, with equally successful results.
* [[CuteWitch Amy]] starts casting another spell on Jenny (having turned Buffy into a rat moments earlier), her eyes turn black then red and energy starts flowing around her... only for Xander to [[MundaneSolution clap his hand over her mouth]].
-->'''Amy''': Goddess Hecate, to you I pray--\\
'''Xander''': Would you ''quit it'' with the Hecate?!
* Oz doesn't know what's going on. He only knows that Willow called him, very upset about something to do with Xander. So he finds Xander at the library, [[HeyYouHaymaker lays him out flat]], then [[EasilyForgiven offers him a hand]] [[NiceGuy to get back up]].
* Xander and Cordelia takes cover in Buffy's house, and before he can catch his breath he realizes even Joyce is seducing him. By now, he's beyond being surprised and is just ''done'' with this.
-->'''Xander''': ''[HeadDesk]'' Whatever!
** Cordelia intervenes:
-->'''Cordelia''': And keep your mom-aged mitts off my boyfriend. ''[[VerbalBackspace Former!]]''
* Even Drusilla declares her love to a terrified Xander, much to Angelus's confusion.
-->'''Angelus''': I guess I really ''did'' drive you crazy!
* Speaking of Drusilla, even she can't stop Xander's wisecracking.
-->'''Drusilla''': Your face is a poem. I can read it.\\
'''Xander''': ''[scared shitless]'' Really? It doesn't say "Spare me" by any chance?\\
'''Drusilla''': Shh. How do you feel about eternal life?\\
'''Xander''': We couldn't just start with a coffee? A movie, maybe?
* Drusilla tries to enter Buffy's house in pursuit of Xander, but is blocked by the mystical barrier, causing Angelus to snark at her.
* Amy's spells are reversed, and Buffy is turned back into a human, stark naked, which is how Oz finds her. It's perfectly awkward.
* To top it all off, Buffy sums up her part in the episode with this gem:
-->'''Buffy''': I remember coming on to you... I remember ''begging'' you to undress me... and then a sudden need for cheese.
* Buffy notes that Joyce seems to have [[WeirdnessCensor willfully forgotten]] the whole "hitting on Xander" incident, and considers whether she should be concerned with how good her mother now is about compartmentalizing the weirdness of Sunnydale.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E17Passion Passion]]" (2x17)]]
* Cordelia realizes that vampires [[MustBeInvited can only enter a place if they're invited]]:
-->'''Cordelia''': Oh, God! I invited him in my car once. That means he can come into my car whenever he wants.\\
'''Xander''': Yep, you're doomed to havin' to give him and his vamp pals a lift whenever they feel like it. And those guys never chip in for gas.
* During the discussion of how to deal with Angelus, the Scoobies are interrupted by Jonathan and another student entering the library to borrow a book. We then get a brilliant {{lampshade|Hanging}} on the gang using a public place as their meeting place and how nobody else ever comes in the library:
-->'''Xander''': Does this look like a Barnes & Noble?\\
'''Giles''': This is a school library, Xander.\\
'''Xander''': Since when?
* In the middle of an incredibly dark episode, we get this gem from Angelus when he's talking to Jenny in her classroom. It's the spot-on delivery from Creator/DavidBoreanaz that really sells it.
-->'''Angelus''': I heard! You went shopping at the local boogity-boogity store!
* Another Angelus example: Upon returning to the factory, he says this to the wheelchair-bound Spike:
-->'''Angelus''': Maybe I'll bring you along next time, Spike. You might be handy to have around if I ever need a really good parking space.
* After Spike gripes that killing Jenny was a bad move, Angelus says that [[TemptingFate he's got everything under control]]. [[InstantlyProvenWrong Cue]] a Molotov cocktail landing in the factory, courtesy of a [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge vengeful Giles]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E18KilledByDeath Killed by Death]]" (2x18)]]
* When no one is singing:
-->'''Buffy''': Shh, hospital zone, no singing.
* When Giles and Cordelia are researching demons:
-->'''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!
** As they're discussing the existence of Buffy's demon:
--->'''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''': [[BrutalHonesty Tact is just not saying true stuff]]. I'll pass.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E19IOnlyHaveEyesForYou I Only Have Eyes for You]]" (2x19)]]
* The context is sad (Giles in denial about Jenny), but his line is still funny:
-->'''Giles''': You should never be cowed by authority. Except in this case when I am clearly right and you are clearly wrong.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E20GoFish Go Fish]]" (2x20)]]
* Xander comes across a mutant fish monster and tries to tell the others about it. Though some aren't quite buying how he faced it.
-->'''Cordelia''': Admit it, you ran like a woman.
** And just a few minutes later:
--->'''Xander''': What about me, what do I do?\\
'''Cordelia''': You could go into the parking lot and practice running like a man.
* On the topic of the gang possibly having to find a demon that discards its victim's skin before eating them.
** There's this exchange:
--->'''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...
** And later, in that same conversation:
--->'''Buffy''': This doesn't make any sense.\\
'''Xander''': Yeah, the skin's the best part.\\
'''Buffy''': Any demons with high cholesterol?\\
'''Giles''': ''[straight-faced and staring at Buffy]''\\
'''Buffy''': ''[pointing at Giles]'' You're gonna think about that later, Mister, and you're gonna laugh.

[[AC:Becoming ([[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E21BecomingPart1 2x21]] and [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E22BecomingPart2 22]])]]
* Buffy and Willow find the floppy disk that Jenny left behind and put it into the nearest computer:
-->'''Buffy''': This feels really morbid.\\
'''Willow''': I've gone through most of her files already.\\
'''Buffy''': Does that makes it ''less'' morbid, or you ''really'' morbid?
* This exchange, when the gang is having an argument:
-->'''Cordelia''': You know, Xander has a point, you guys.\\
'''Xander''': Y'know, I wish just once that you'd support me [[VerbalBackpedaling and now I realize that you were and I'm embarrassed, so I'm gonna get back to the point]]!
* After a long and very grim explanation by Giles of how the demon Acathla, if awakened, will pull the entire world into a hell dimension where every non-demon would suffer eternal torment, we suddenly DescriptionCut to Angel, Spike, and Drusilla looking at the stone that's holding Acathla.
-->'''Spike''': It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.
* Angelus' description of Acathla:
-->'''Angelus''': Acathla the demon came forth to swallow the world. He was killed by a virtuous knight who pierced the demon's heart before he could draw breath to perform the act. Acathla turned to stone, as demons sometimes do, and was buried where neither man nor demon would want to look. Unless of course they're putting up low-rent housing.
* Giles has an Orb of Thesula on hand, calling back to "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E17Passion Passion]]".
-->'''Giles''': [[MundaneUtility I've been using it as a paperweight]].
* Angelus attempts to perform the ritual that will awaken Acathla, but is thrown across the room when it doesn't work. Spike's response?
-->'''Spike''': ''[singsong]'' Someone wasn't wooooorthy.
* Spike explaining why he doesn't want to destroy the world:
-->'''Spike''': We like to talk big, vampires do. "[[CardCarryingVillain I'm going to destroy the world]]." That's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got... dog racing, Manchester United, and you've got people. Billions of people running around like Happy Meals on legs. It's all right here.
* Buffy's response to Spike after he proposes an EnemyMine:
-->'''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''!
* Buffy and Spike finalizing their temporary alliance while the police officer that tried to arrest Buffy lies unconscious nearby.
-->'''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.
* Buffy and Spike trying to concoct an excuse for how they know each other and hilariously failing at it:
-->'''Spike''': She doesn't know?\\
'''Joyce''': Doesn't know what?\\
'''Buffy''': That I'm, uh... in a band! A rock band, with Spike here.\\
'''Spike''': Right, she plays the... the... triangle.\\
'''Buffy''': Drums.
* The scene with Joyce and Spike sitting together in the living room is hilariously awkward. After a few moments of silence:
-->'''Joyce''': ...have we ''met?''\\
'''Spike''': Er... You hit me with an axe one time. Remember, er, "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E3SchoolHard get the hell away from my daughter]]"?\\
'''Joyce''': Oh. ''[pause]'' So, do you live here in town?
* Joyce's ContinuityLockOut:
--> '''Spike''': ...You let me and Dru skip town, I help you kill Angel. \\
'''Joyce''': ''[looking between Buffy and Spike confusedly]'' Angel, your boyfriend??
* When Xander rescues Giles:
-->'''Giles:''' It's a trick. They get inside my head, make me see things I want.\\
'''Xander:''' Then why would they make you see me?\\
'''Giles:''' Oh, right. Let's go.
* For some reason, Spike's reaction when Angelus is standing over Buffy with a sword.
-->'''Spike''': ''[holding Drusilla in his arms, in shock]'' He's really going to kill her. ''[shrugs, then keeps walking]''
* On being unable to prepare for the finals because of yet another impending apocalypse:
-->'''Buffy''': Ah, I'll wing it. Of course, if we go to hell by then, I won't have to take them. ''[{{Beat}}]'' [[FridgeHorror ...Or maybe I'll be taking them forever...]]
* When Spike is wailing on Angelus, Drusilla tackles him with an angry squeal.
** A moment later, they're facing each other, and Spike says, "I don't wanna hurt you, baby." Dru attacks again, and he slugs her and casually says, "Doesn't mean I ''won't''."

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E1Anne Anne]]" (3x01)]]
* Willow confronting the vampire in the opening.
-->'''Willow:''' That's right, big boy. Come and get it.
* Oz stands up, the music swelling dramatically, and throws his stake at the retreating vampire. Cue the stake [[EpicFail bouncing harmlessly off a gravestone several feet short of the target]].
* After the vampire escapes:
-->'''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.
* Buffy is found in the blood bank office after hours and asked what she's doing there.
--> [[AskAStupidQuestion "Breaking into your office and going through your private files."]]
** The woman then says she'll call the police. Buffy casually rips the telephone off the wall beside her, all the while never looking up from the files.
** And when she's told she's in a lot of trouble, she gives this immortal riposte.
--> "I don't want trouble. I just want to be alone and quiet in a room with a chair and a fireplace and a tea cosy. I don't even know what a tea cosy is but I want one. But all I get is trouble, which I am more than willing to share."
* During the climactic fight, the villain takes Lily hostage at knife-point, then steps away and begins to monologue. You see Lily's brain processing for a moment before she reaches out, shoves him over a ledge, and stares at her handiwork in [[OhCrap wide-eyed surprise]].
* This:
-->'''Buffy:''' ''[standing over a trapped demon while holding a big club]'' Hey, Ken, want to see my impression of Gandhi?\\
WHAM!\\
'''Lily:''' ...Gandhi?\\
'''Buffy:''' Well, you know, if he was really pissed off.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E2DeadMansParty Dead Man’s Party]]" (3x02)]]
* Cordelia's reaction to seeing Buffy for the first time this season.
-->'''Cordelia:''' ''[after being thrown into her by a vampire]'' Hey, Buffy!
** Then Buffy wordlessly tosses her aside out of the way.
* Oz explaining the difference between a gathering, a shindig, and a hootenanny.
-->'''Oz:''' What kind of deal is this? Is it a gathering, a shindig, or a hootenanny?
-->'''Cordelia:''' What's the difference?
-->'''Oz:''' Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings. Shindig, dip. Less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage. And hootenanny? Just chock full of "hoot" and a ''liiiittle'' bit of "nanny."
* Giles imitating Joyce while driving to Buffy's house.
-->'''Giles:''' Unbelievable. ''[imitating Joyce]'' "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It RAISES THE DEAD." Americans!
** The best part of the joke is that this is said by a man so engrossed in kvetching about {{Eagleland}}ers that he then wraps his {{Alleged Car}} around one of the aforementioned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W23IwSNLcq8 raised dead]].
* Giles hot-wiring his car:
-->'''Giles:''' Like riding a bloody bicycle!
* Jonathan getting caught in the middle of a verbal spat between Buffy and her mother and friends.
-->'''Buffy:''' Great, anyone else want to weigh in on this? You there, by the dip.\\
'''Jonathan:''' No, thanks.
* Cordelia tries to support Buffy in the argument.
-->'''Cordelia:''' Time out, Xand. I mean, put yourself in Buffy's shoes for a minute. I'm Buffy--freak of nature, right? Naturally, I pick a freak for a boyfriend... Then he's Mister Killing Spree, which is pretty much my fault, and--
-->'''Buffy:''' Cordy. Get out of my shoes.
* In possibly the best example of TemptingFate, Willow sarcastically states they should solve their argument with violence. As if on cue, the zombies show up.
-->'''Willow:''' I was being sarcastic!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E3FaithHopeAndTrick Faith, Hope and Trick]]" (3x03)]]
* The episode opens with Willow savouring that now as a senior she can go off campus for lunch. But she panics about actually taking that first step, convinced they may have changed the rules without telling. Oz and Xander have to physically lift her over the threshold and carry her to the green where they're meeting Buffy for lunch.
** Willow also suggests they not act too couple-y around Buffy...
--> '''Cordelia:''' Oh you mean because of how the only guy that ever liked her turned into a vicious killer and had to be put down like a dog?
--> '''Xander:''' Can she cram complex issues into a nutshell or what?
* Buffy has prepared some food, to the others' surprise.
--> '''Cordelia:''' When did you become Martha Stewart?
--> '''Buffy:''' First of all, Martha Stewart knows jack about hand cut prosciutto.
--> '''Xander:''' I don't believe she slays either.
--> '''Oz:''' Oh, I hear she can but she doesn't like to.
* Willow suggests that Buffy attract Scott Hope by doing [[ThatCameOutWrong "that thing with your mouth that boys like"]]. Buffy gives her an alarmed expression, and Willow hurriedly explain that she means a half smile she does that's cute.
--> '''Willow:''' (''to Oz'') You're supposed to stop me when I do that.
--> '''Oz:''' I like when you do that.
* Snyder is forced to rescind Buffy's expulsion.
-->'''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 believe what my daughter is trying to say is... Nyah nyah, nuh-nyah nyah!
* Back in the Bronze after her introduction, Faith holds court over the Scoobies. She shares some war stories, chock full of [[NakedPeopleAreFunny nudity]], a BusFullOfInnocents, crocodiles, and priests, but [[OrphanedPunchline only the first]] of which has caught [[AllMenArePerverts Xander's attention]] (to [[ClingyJealousGirl Cordelia's]] consternation).
-->'''Faith:''' So, it's about 118 degrees and I'm [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping without a stitch on]]. And all of the sudden, I hear this screaming from outside, so [[FullFrontalAssault I go tearing out]], [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl stark nude]]. And this church is broke down and there's these three vamps feasting on half the Baptists in South Boston, so I waste the vamps and the preacher comes up and he's hugging me like there's no tomorrow. When all of the sudden, the cops pull up and they arrested us both!\\
'''Xander:''' [[DistractedByTheSexy Wow]], they should film that story and show it every Christmas.
** Later, when Faith is telling the story about wrestling alligators.
--->'''Xander:''' So was this, um, {{ahem}}, ''also'' naked?\\
'''Cordelia:''' Xander? '''[[ClingyJealousGirl Find a new theme.]]'''
* Faith on the aftereffects of slaying:
-->'''Faith:''' God, I could eat a horse. Isn't it crazy how slayin' just always makes you hungry and horny?\\
''[everyone looks at Buffy]''\\
'''Buffy:''' ...I sometimes crave a nonfat yogurt afterwards.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTHeVampireSlayerS3E5Homecoming Homecoming]]" (3x05)]]
* During the titular event, Giles rushes up to Xander and Willow while they're moping on the dance floor, and gives us a good ten seconds of [[{{Adorkable}} glorious awkwardness]].
-->'''Giles:''' We have to find Buffy. Something terrible's happened. ''[Willow and Xander look stunned]'' Just kidding! I thought I'd throw you a little scare! ''[{{Beat}}]'' Are these finger sandwiches?
* Cordelia and Buffy are trapped in a cabin, and Buffy asks her to look for a weapon. Cordy finds a spatula.
-->'''Buffy:''' That's ''it''?\\
'''Cordelia:''' Just this and a telephone.\\
'''Buffy:''' ...a telephone. And you didn't think that'd be helpful?\\
'''Cordelia:''' No, this is better, for... ''[makes smacking motion, till it dawns on her]'' ...oh.
** Bonus points for Cordy ''actually trying to use it'' on a demon [[NoSell who doesn't even notice]].
** And as she's doing this, one of the other hunters had dropped his rifle. Buffy exclaims "Cordelia, the gun!" Cordy grabs the gun, aims, fires...and nearly shoots Buffy.
--->'''Buffy:''' Cordelia, the spatula.
* After the whole ordeal, Buffy and Cordelia lose the Homecoming Queen spot to Michelle and Holly. Their "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe" faces are just priceless.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E6BandCandy Band Candy]]" (3x06)]]
* It would be easier to name the moments in this episode that were ''not'' laugh-out-loud funny.
* 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.
-->'''Buffy:''' Okay, you're just doing this to take silly photos of me.
** Giles then tells her to throw the ball at him. She turns away and lets the ball fly, causing him to smirk before the ball hits the wall and thwacks him.
--->'''Giles:''' You see, it's not that... ''[BOP]'' ...ow.
* While Buffy is arguing with Joyce and Giles about them over-scheduling her, Giles says "Let's not... freak out," arousing Buffy's suspicions.
* Giles and Joyce listen to Music/{{Cream}} in his apartment, and Giles happily bops his head to the tune and says "It rocks!"
* Pretty much the whole scene of the Scoobies finding the Bronze infested with old people acting like teenagers.
* Giles vs. the Policeman.
-->'''Giles:''' Ooh, copper's got a gun. You'll never use it though, man.
* Snyder's line as Buffy and company take off in Joyce's SUV.
-->'''Snyder:''' Woo, Summers, you drive like a ''SPAZZ''!
** This actually comes back up in the Season 8 comics, in a {{crossover}} with ''ComicBook/{{Fray}}'':
--->'''Melaka Fray:''' Summers, you drive like a SPAZZ!\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh my God. THAT is the one phrase that has survived two hundred years? [[BuffySpeak I should have been more gentle to the English language.]]
* Buffy catching Giles and Joyce making out in front of the candy factory.
* Buffy tries to drag Joyce away, but Giles tells her to "sod off." In response, Buffy snatches his cigarette out of his mouth, throws it onto the ground, and stomps on it.
* Ethan's response to Buffy, Giles, Joyce, and Snyder finding him in the factory: Run off like the DirtyCoward he is.
* Buffy finds Ethan hiding in a wooden crate.
-->'''Buffy:''' Oh, look, a box of farm-fresh chicken.
* Snyder tries flirting with Joyce, who makes a fantastic "whatever" face and moves away from him.
* Giles urging Buffy to punch Ethan, only for her to tell him to be quiet. When she finally does punch Ethan, Giles does a fist-pump, complete with an enthused "Yes!"
** And when Buffy threatens to really hurt Ethan, Giles has a completely excited grin on his face. And he ''bounces''.
* Buffy asks Joyce and Giles to tie up Ethan. Joyce ''very awkwardly'' pulls a pair of cuffs out of her shorts.
-->'''Buffy:''' ''[creeped out]'' Never tell me.
* 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:
-->'''Buffy:''' ''[portentously]'' 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.
** Also at the end, when Buffy remarks she's glad she found Giles and Joyce before anything happened between them, Giles and Joyce, after Buffy heads off, turn and head off in opposite directions.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E7Revelations Revelations]]" (3x07)]]
* After Gwendolyn Post introduces herself, Giles is seen just staring at her while holding his cup of coffee.
* According to Miss Post, the Watchers Council think Giles has become too American for their taste.
-->'''Giles:''' Me?
-->'''Buffy:''' Him?

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E8LoversWalk Lovers' Walk]]" (3x08)]]
* The opening scene:
-->'''Cordelia:''' Get out of Sunnydale--that's a good thing. What kind of moron would ever want to come back ''here''?\\
''[Cut to the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign being smashed down by Spike's car on his way in... for the second time in the series]''
** It helps that Spike is completely smashed in this scene.
* 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.
* [[VillainOverForDinner 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.
** It's followed by Spike taunting Angel about how he's not invited ("You're a bad, bad man."), complete with making scary gestures, including a Creator/BelaLugosi pose, 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?
* Angel {{troll}}ing Spike in the magic shop:
-->'''Angel:''' Lotta trouble for someone who doesn't care.\\
'''Spike:''' Shut your gob!\\
'''Angel:''' She really is just kind of fickle.\\
'''Spike:''' [[BigShutUp SHUT UP!]] ''[runs over and punches Angel]''
* Spike's realization about he's going about his reaction to Drusilla's rejection all wrong comes after a fight to get ingredients for a spell he's kidnapped Willow to have her perform, with Buffy and Angel there, trying to rescue her and Xander. They ruled out the factory, his old hangout in the previous season, as being too obvious. When he decides he's going to get Dru's love back the old-fashioned way ([[TooKinkyToTorture tie her up and torture her until she loves him again]]), he offhandedly says that Buffy's friends "are at the factory." Buffy gets the biggest "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe" expression on her face and Angel looks up with the biggest "We are ''DUMB''" expression in existence.
* The ending, where everyone--their romantic relationships in tatters--has one of the show's typical angsty emo montages where everyone is really depressed and mopey... concluded with a sudden cut to Spike, reinvigorated and in good humor once again, driving away from Sunnydale, happily singing along with Music/SidVicious's cover[[note]]for legal reasons it's actually Creator/GaryOldman's version from ''Film/SidAndNancy''[[/note]] of "My Way."
* Cordelia falls through a rotten staircase and ends up with a piece of rebar through her abdomen. Xander climbs down to her and there's a tear-inducing scene of him telling her to hold on as she grows weaker and eventually passes out. The scene then cuts to a funeral service... [[BaitAndSwitch only for the camera to pan down and reveal Buffy and Willow walking past in the distance]].
-->'''Buffy:''' So Cordelia's really gonna be okay?\\
'''Willow:''' She lost a lot of blood but none of her vitals were punctured.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E9TheWish The Wish]]" (3x09)]]
* Wishverse-Master's line:
-->'''Wishverse-Master:''' Some claim that death is our art. I say to them...well, I don't say anything to them because I killed them.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E10Amends Amends]]" (3x10)]]
* Buffy first encounters the First Evil, and it is [[EvilGloating ranting to her about how terrifying and horrible it is]]:
-->'''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''?
* So exactly what does Willow do after she makes up with Oz? She pulls out every trick in the book to try and seduce him. It's... overwhelming for him to say the least.
** In a funny foreground event, she has a 2-liter bottle of Sprite chilling in a bucket with ice, like a bottle of champagne.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E11Gingerbread Gingerbread]]" (3x11)]]
* Giles' frustration with using Internet chatrooms.
-->'''Giles:''' ''[working on the computer]'' "Session interrupted?!" Who said you could interrupt, you stupid, useless ''fad''?! No, I said "fad." And I'll say it again.
* Giles has been knocked unconscious. Cordy wakes him by hitting him.
-->'''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:''' ...''[[SarcasmFailure Wake up]]'' [[SarcasmFailure in a--]]?! Oh, never mind. We need to save Buffy from Hansel and Gretel.\\
'''Cordelia:''' Now let's be clear. The brain damage happened ''before'' I hit you.
* And a little later:
-->'''Giles:''' It's about, uh, lifting a veil. Um, it should, uh, make the demons appear in their true form which, with any luck, will, uh, negate their influence. And, uh, drop a toadstone into the mixture.\\
'''Cordelia:''' ''[picks up the toadstone]'' This? It doesn't look like a toad.\\
'''Giles:''' No reason it should. It's from inside the toad.\\
'''Cordelia:''' I hate you.
* Buffy and Willow threatening to turn the BurnTheWitch mob into vermin. And fish.
* In which an old folktale will never be the same again:
-->'''Buffy:''' Is Sunnydale any better than when I first came here? Okay, so I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.\\
'''Angel:''' Dike.\\
''[Buffy looks [[HaveAGayOldTime startled]]]''\\
'''Angel:''' It's another word for "dam."\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh. Okay, that story makes a lot more sense now.
* After Amy turns herself into a rat to escape, Buffy says, "She couldn't have done US first?!" HilariousInHindsight as well, considering.
* For German speakers, Giles' spell to dispel the illusion of Hansel and Gretel is also very funny:
-->'''Giles:''' ''Ich beschwöre die Macht der Hekate, die Masken wegzureißen. Das Böse soll das Gesicht des Bösen tragen!''\\
'''Giles:''' ''Hekate ruft euch an: Verbergt euch nicht hinter falschen Gesichtern!'' (Translation: "I call upon the power of Hekate to rip off the masks. Evil shall bear the visage of Evil! / Hekate implores you: Do not hide behind false faces!")
** Creator/AnthonyHead's pronunciation is, of course, also completely awful, which makes it all even funnier.
* The demons' true form has been revealed. Everyone runs away. The demon charges at Buffy, still bound to the stake.
-->'''Buffy:''' ''[manages to break the stake and impales the charging demon with it]'' Did I get it? Did I get it?\\
''[Camera switches position for a hilarious visual. One can see Buffy indeed managed to kill the demon.]''
** And just a moment later, Xander and Oz, who have been trying to enter the room through the ventilation, fall with a cry of surprise through the ceiling and land on the ground.
--->'''Oz:''' We are here to save you.
* The ending scene: Willow tries to turn Amy back into a human, but fails. Buffy then suggests she get Amy "one of those wheel thingies." SmashToBlack.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E12Helpless Helpless]]" (3x12)]]
* Angel is casually (trying to, at least) asking Buffy if she has a date on her birthday.
--> '''Buffy:''' Actually, I do have a date. Older man. Very handsome. Likes it when I call him "Daddy."\\
'''Angel:''' ''[looking relieved]'' Huh. Your father.\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Angel:''' ...It ''is'' your father, right?
* Buffy is throwing knives at a dartboard in the library, completely missing the bullseye. Giles suggests Buffy take a break from patrolling if she's off her game. Buffy says she just needs to train harder, and throws another knife. Cue glass-breaking sound.
-->'''Buffy:''' I'm gone! ''[turns and leaves]''\\
'''Giles:''' ''[[[DissonantSerenity without looking at the damage]]]'' Thank you.
* Kralik baits Buffy with pretty much the first "selfie" ever of Kralik and her mom. Kralik's ecstatic grin doesn't help at all.
* At the end of the episode, Buffy, still without her powers back, tries to open a jar of peanut butter, to no avail. Xander tries to help, telling her that even she needs a big strong man to help sometimes. He is unable to open it, and asks Willow for help.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E13TheZeppo The Zeppo]]" (3x13)]]
* Right off the bat, the "Previously On" segment for the episode is '''just''' Giles being fired near the end of "Helpless". That's it. Just "Previously on ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''...", "You're fired", jump into episode proper.
* This episode essentially parodies the show's established cliches, particularly Buffy and Angel's emo-tastic arguments.
* Xander's reaction to finding kerosene in his car:
-->'''Xander:''' Hey! They're not baking any cake!!
* 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.'"
** Xander apparently did know, as Willow pipes up "We're sorry! ...Buffy had ''three''!"
* Xander grabs one of Jack's undead buddies while driving and issues an elaborate demand for the bomb's location. Before the zombie can answer, [[OffWithHisHead his head gets taken off]] by a passing mailbox ''a la'' Howard Payne in ''Film/{{Speed}}'', and Xander freaks out.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E14BadGirls Bad Girls]]" (3x14)]]
* Wilkins's line after first becoming invincible:
-->'''Wilkins:''' I'm feeling chipper. Who's up for a root beer?
** The list he checks off after that:
--->PTA meeting\\
Haircut\\
Become Invincible
* Pre-badass Wesley's introduction:
-->'''Faith:''' New Watcher?\\
'''Buffy and Giles:''' New Watcher.\\
'''Faith:''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw that]]. ''[walks out]''
** Immediately followed by Buffy asking, "Now why didn't ''I'' just say that?" ''right in front of Wesley'', and Giles trying not to look ''too'' amused when he chastises her for it.
* A little later:
-->'''Wesley:''' You're not helping!\\
'''Giles:''' I know... I feel just ''sick'' about it.

* Once Giles and Wesley have been taken prisoner by Balthazar, a grotesquely obese demon in a large bathtub who is looking for [[MacGuffin a powerful amulet]], the expected interrogation begins thusly:
-->'''Wesley:''' What IS that thing?
-->'''Giles:''' That would be your demon. You know, ''the dead one.''
-->'''Wesley:''' ''[on the verge of panic]'' Stay calm, Mr. Giles. We have to stay calm.\\
'''Giles:''' ''[deadpan]'' Well, thank God you're here, I was planning to panic.\\
'''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. ''[gets shoved by one of Balthazar's {{Mooks}}]'' Ow.
-->'''Wesley:''' We can deal with this rationally! We have something you want, you have something we want.
-->'''Bathalzar:''' Hmm...a trade, intriguing. No wait, ''boring'', PULL OFF HIS KNEECAPS!
** Giles's mood and delivery does not change during the entire exchange:
-->'''Giles:''' Look, tell you what, let Captain Courageous here go, I'll tell you everything you need to know, how's that for a deal?
* Wilkins, Mr. Trick, and Allan [[VillainsOutShopping discuss their favorite newspaper comics]].
-->'''Wilkins:''' Do you like ''[[ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus Family Circus]]'', Mr. Trick?\\
'''Mr. Trick:''' I read ''ComicStrip/{{Marmaduke}}''.\\
'''Wilkins:''' [[{{Squick}} Agh! Uuugh!]] That dog's always on the furniture! It's so unsanitary.\\
'''Mr. Trick:''' No one tells Marmaduke what to do. That is my kind of dog.\\
'''Allan:''' I like to read ''ComicStrip/{{Cathy}}''!\\
''[[[EvenEvilHasStandards Wilkins and Mr. Trick just stare]]]''
* Wesley brags about having faced two vampires. Under controlled conditions, no less. The previous episode had the world being saved. By Faith, no less. The Dark Slayer. And he thinks his actions are an accomplishment. Giles is right; Wesley is a berk.
* Wesley and Giles simultaneously polishing their glasses while not looking at each other.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E16Doppelgangland Doppelgangland]]" (3x16)]]
We may as well reiterate the same disclaimer from "Band Candy."
* Willow regarding her Wishverse twin: "I'm so evil and skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay."
** Followed immediately by:
--->'''Buffy:''' Willow, just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was.\\
'''Angel:''' Well, actually... ''[Buffy [[DeathGlare glares]] at him; {{Beat}}]'' [[ShuttingUpNow That's a good point]].
** According to WordOfGod, 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'''''.
** And Wishverse-Willow's reaction to her normal reality twin's fluffy clothes:
-->'''Wishverse-Willow:''' Well, look at me. I'm all fuzzy.
** Later, she wakes up in them.
--->'''Wishverse-Willow:''' This is like a nightmare.
* Later in the episode, Willow shoots Wishverse-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 Wishverse-Willow hanging on the bars with an expression that just screams "[[CatchPhrase Bored now]]."
-->'''Cordelia:''' What is it? Is there something on my neck?\\
'''Wishverse-Willow:''' Not yet.
* "I'm a blood-sucking fiend! Look at my outfit!"
* This:
-->'''Buffy:''' It was ''exactly'' you, Will. Every detail. Except for you're 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:''' ''[eyes glazed]'' Did anyone else just go to a scary visual place?\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[eyes glazed]'' ''Oh'', yeah.
* Earlier, when everyone thinks that Willow has become a vampire:
-->'''Giles:''' She was truly the finest of us all.\\
'''Xander:''' ''[choked up]'' Way better than me.\\
'''Giles:''' ''[matter-of-factly]'' Much, much better.
** After Willow enters the library, Xander shoves a cross in her face, thinking she's a vampire. When it doesn't do anything, he shakes it like a faulty Etch-a-Sketch and tries again.
** Willow's reaction to GroupHug upon Buffy, Xander, and Giles seeing her alive and well leads to this tremendous line:
--->'''Willow:''' It's really great that you guys missed me. Say, you didn't all happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?
** Angel's big entrance.
--->'''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.
* Anya tries to order a beer.
-->'''Anya:''' God, what a day... Gimme a beer.\\
'''Barkeep:''' ''[deadpan]'' ID.\\
'''Anya:''' ''[stares at him in disbelief]'' I'm eleven hundred and twenty years old! Just gimme a frickin' ''beer''!\\
'''Barkeep:''' ID.\\
'''Anya:''' ''[sigh]'' Gimme a Coke.
* Willow is disguised as Wishverse-Willow:
-->'''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.
* Just generally the scene where Willow has to pretend to be Wishverse-Willow. She tries to run her fingers creepily through someone's hair, as her counterpart did, and they get stuck.
* The scene where Wilkins gives Faith her own apartment. Just before it ends, you can clearly see Creator/ElizaDushku trip.
-->'''Wilkins:''' No slayer of mine is going to live in a [[NoTellMotel fleabag motel]]. There are ''immoral liaisons'' going on there.\\
'''Faith:''' Yeah, plus all the screwing. This place is the kick!
* Wishverse-Willow's send-off. First, Willow's heartwarming hug to her vampire counterpart leads to some "friendly" groping ("Hands!"), and then Wishverse-Willow gets to enjoy being back in her own reality... for all of three seconds before getting staked.
-->'''Wishverse-Willow:''' [[CurseCutShort Oh, f--]] ''[turns to dust]''
* In response to Buffy asking Giles what's going on (it's all in Nicholas Brendon's delivery):
-->'''Giles:''' Well, uh, something, something, um, very strange is happening.\\
'''Xander:''' ''[{{Beat}}]'' Can you believe the Watcher's Council let this guy go?
* Smug, lazy JerkJock Percy expects Willow to not so much tutor him as do all his work for him. That night, he has an [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom unfortunate run-in with Wishverse-Willow]]. The next morning? He's a very different guy.
--> '''Percy:''' Hey. Oh. Hi.\\
'''Willow:''' Oh, hi. Listen, I didn't get a chance--\\
'''Percy:''' Okay, so I did the outline for the paper for Roosevelt. ''[hands her a Duo-Tang]'' It turns out there were two President Roosevelts. I didn't know exactly which one to do, so I did both. ''[hands her another Duo-Tang]'' I know they're kind of... kind of short, but I can flesh them out a bit. Oh, and here's the bibliography. ''[hands her ANOTHER Duo-Tang]'' Oh, and I can retype that if you want. You just let me know what I did wrong and I'll get on it. ''[turns to leave, comes back, leaves Willow an '''apple''', and quickly scurries away]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E17Enemies Enemies]]" (3x17)]]
* Xander's line here:
-->'''Cordelia:''' What are you doing Friday night?\\
'''Wesley:''' Uh, uh...As always, my sacred duty as a Watcher prevents me from...Why?\\
'''Cordelia:''' I have a paper to write for English, and... you're English, so I thought... ''[at everyone's looks]'' What? Is it so wrong to be getting an insider's perspective? ''[to Wesley]'' I study best in a good restaurant, around eightish? Think it over? ''[leaves]''\\
'''Xander:''' [[DeadpanSnarker And on the day the words "flimsy excuse" were redefined, we stood in awe and watched.]]
* Buffy and Angel go to see a movie entitled ''Le Banquet D'Amelia'', thinking it would be about food. Angel points out that technically, there ''was'' food.
-->'''Buffy:''' Right. Th-The-The scene with the...food. So, feel like getting some hot chocolate...or some cold shower?
** Buffy laments that they can't do the things in the movie. "You'd lose your soul, and besides, I don't even own a kimono."
* Giles dryly reports finding a "Six-course banquet of nothing with a scoop of sod-all as a palate cleanser."
* This golden line from Wilkins:
-->'''Wilkins:''' There is more than one way to skin a cat, and I happen to know that this is factually true.
* Just how AffablyEvil is Wilkins? Well, [[PsychoForHire Faith]] is moping that she didn't kill Buffy, so he tries to cheer her up.
-->'''Wilkins:''' I have two words that will make all the pain go away: "Miniature. Golf."\\
''[Faith stares at him for a moment, all "Are you serious?" then cracks up]''
* Willow is trying to convince Buffy there's nothing going on between Angel and Faith, but both realize that Faith is drop-dead gorgeous and ReallyGetsAround.
-->'''Willow:''' I mean, please, does Angel come up to Faith's standards for a guy? Let's see, is he breathing?\\
'''Buffy:''' Actually, no.
* Giles thanks the powerful sorcerer who faked removing Angel's soul for his help, with the sorcerer remarking that his debt to Giles has now been repaid. After he leaves, Willow asks what the debt was he owed Giles.
-->'''Giles:''' I introduced him to his wife.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E18Earshot Earshot]]" (3x18)]]
* Earlier in the episode, Xander and Oz are watching the pep rally and sharing snarks.
-->'''Xander:''' I think they're much better this year.\\
'''Oz:''' Well, their spelling's improved.
* When Buffy reveals she can hear other people's thoughts, hilarity ensues:
-->'''Oz:''' ''[thinking]'' 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.
** Cordelia's thought-to-speech:
--->'''Cordelia:''' ''[thinking]'' I don't see what this has to do with me. ''[out loud]'' I don't see what this has to do with me.
*** A minute later:
---->'''Cordelia:''' ''[thinking]'' Whatever. I wonder if I can go now. ''[out loud]'' Whatever. Can I go now?
** Xander:
--->'''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.
*** Later, 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.
---->'''Buffy:''' God, is that all you think about?\\
'''Xander:''' Actually... ''[bolts]'' ...bye.
*** And after Xander is busted:
---->'''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...
*** Only to immediately think...
---->'''Wesley:''' Look at Cordelia. No! Don't look at Cordelia! She's a student! Oh, I am bad. A bad, bad man.
*** He then spots Buffy smirking at him. Look at her finger here. Given [[TheScrappy her thoughts]] of him, she's very much saying she, ah...[[CompensatingForSomething doesn't think much of him]].
* An example of why you should never read the mind of your own mother:
-->'''Buffy:''' You had sex with Giles! You had ''sex'' with ''Giles''? On the hood of a police car? ''TWICE?!''
** At the end of the episode:
--->'''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]''
** Creator/AnthonyHead [[ThrowItIn ad-libbed]] the "walking into a tree" part.
** It's 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. [[note]]A dockworker, basically.[[/note]]
* When Buffy fears just what aspect of the demon she might get, she notices [[CovertPervert Willow's]] eyes bug out at one possibility.
-->'''Willow:''' Was it a [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} boy demon]]?
* At the end, when Buffy confronts the lunch lady who's trying to commit mass murder.
-->'''Lunch Lady:''' Vermin! You're all vermin. You come in here and you eat, and you eat. ''Filth!''\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[{{Beat}}]'' I don't see this being settled with logic.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E20TheProm The Prom]]" (3x20)]]
* One of the first things Joyce sees when she visits Angel's house is the shackles attached to the wall. She says nothing, but it's obvious what she's thinking.
* Buffy has a little freak-out when her friends are scared to go to the prom because some loser threatens it with hellhounds.
-->'''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:''' ....yay?
** Later, after finding Tucker, we get this exchange:
--->'''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]'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Have. A nice. Time.]]\\
'''Willow:''' Okay, then.\\
'''Xander:''' See ya.
* An annoyed Giles tells a hesitant Wesley to go ahead and dance with Cordelia.
-->'''Giles:''' For God's sake, man, she's eighteen! And you, you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone!
* At the prom, Jonathan mentions that a lot of strange things have happened at Sunnydale High. Calls from the audience:
-->'''Unidentified Student #1:''' Zombies!\\
'''Unidentified Student #2:''' Hyena people!\\
'''Unidentified Student #3:''' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Snyder!]]

[[AC:"Graduation Day" ([[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E21GraduationDayPart1 3x21]] and [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E22GraduationDayPart2 22]])]]
* Willow gets swept up in the preemptive nostalgia of yearbook writing, as noted by Buffy when she comes upon Willow fresh off of writing in someone's yearbook.
--> '''Willow''': Aw, I'm gonna miss her!
--> '''Buffy''': Don't you ''hate'' her?
--> '''Willow''': ''(not dropping her smile or upbeat tone)'' Yes, with a fiery vengeance! She picked on me for ten years, the vacuous tramp!
* Xander comes in class late, and the following speech from the teacher ensues:
-->'''Teacher:''' Thank you for joining us, Mr. Harris. I realize you've all finished your finals and you're ready to move on, but you haven't graduated yet. This is still a class and everyone participates. Mr. Harris? Would you care to begin?
-->'''Xander:''' Uh... An 'E.'
-->''angle of the shot changes to show the blackboard for the first time''
-->'''Teacher:''' There is no 'E.' ''draws a head on a game of hangman'' They always go for the 'E'...
* A nice scene with Wilkins is an utterly brilliant mix of '60s sitcom humor and standard ''Buffy'' villain shock value. There truly will never be a villain like him in television again.
-->'''Wilkins:''' ''[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.
* Willow and Oz are looking after Angel after he's been poisoned. At one point, Angel grabs Willow's hand and thinking that she's Buffy, starts confessing his love for her. After Willow corrects him, she goes into the other room to talk to Oz.
-->'''Oz:''' Any change?\\
'''Willow:''' He's delirious, he thought I was Buffy.\\
'''Oz:''' You too?
* The Scoobies trying to come up with a way to defeat Wilkins.
-->'''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.
** And then, later on:
--->'''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.
* Wesley and Cordelia's attempt at a BigDamnKiss immediately goes into hilariously awkward territory, and they quickly end it by deciding they're BetterAsFriends.
* Xander and Giles find a book with a picture of what Wilkins will Ascend into: [[Film/{{Jaws}} "We're gonna need a bigger boat."]]
** Also, the fact that the image is essentially a centerfold.
* Buffy and Willow's reaction when they realize that Wilkins is going to continue with his commencement address right up until he transforms.
-->'''Buffy:''' Oh my God, he's really gonna do the entire speech.\\
'''Willow:''' Man, just ''ascend'' already.\\
'''Buffy:''' Evil.
* During the BigBadassBattleSequence, Wesley goes down with one hit, and he's left on the ground asking for help.
** Later, as he's being wheeled away on a gurney:
--->'''Wesley:''' Could I have something for the pain? It's actually quite a bit of pain.
** Shortly afterwards Giles excuses himself by telling Buffy he's going to go and see if Wesley is "still whimpering".
* Wilkins' last words. Since he's still in monster snake demon form, it comes out as [[VoiceOfTheLegion a deep, distorted voice]].
-->'''Wilkins/Olvikan:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well, gosh!]]

[[folder:TV series: Season 4]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E1TheFreshman The Freshman]]" (4x01)]]
* A random vampire sneaks up on Buffy and Willow, notices all their weapons, and decides to beat a hasty retreat. The pair were waiting for him to wake up and fail to notice him.
* "The best part was when you ragged on your clothes. She was like 'No! Not the ensemble!'"
* Sunday looking through Eddie's CD collection:
-->'''Sunday:''' Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. ''[sigh]'' Astonishingly boring. We, we have to kill some cooler people. Will somebody remind me?
* Giles shows up late for the party with an armful of weapons. Also a [[Heartwarming/BuffyTheVampireSlayer CMOH]].
-->'''Giles:''' [as the rest of the Scoobies head off]'' The evil is this way?

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E2LivingConditions Living Conditions]]" (4x02)]]
* Buffy's DeathGlare when her roommate Kathy 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.
* Willow is having her own roommate troubles. There seems to be a constant loud party going on on their side of the room.
* Thinking Buffy has gone nuts, which she has, kind of, Xander and Oz tackle her and tie her up.
-->'''Xander:''' This hurts us more than it hurts you.\\
'''Buffy:''' Not yet, but it will.\\
'''Xander:''' Don't say that. ''[[[OhCrap has a moment of realization]]]'' ''Please'' don't say that.
* Buffy fighting against Demon-Kathy in their room, the two banging all around the room, bumping into walls and doors, before cutting to outside the room, and this gem from a student down the hall:
-->'''Student:''' Do you mind? Some people are TRYING to study.
** When Willow didn't realize the truth yet she tries to call Kathy that Buffy might kill her. No one answers the phone because at that moment Kathy is smacking Buffy with it.
* The evil plot revealed: Kathy is a demon from another dimension who wanted to go to college.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E3TheHarshLightOfDay The Harsh Light of Day]]" (4x03)]]
* Spike slams another vampire's head onto a table and gives him an ImpliedDeathThreat, only to be interrupted by Harmony:
-->'''Harmony:''' ''[in a cutesy voice]'' How's my little [[EmbarrassingNickname Blondie Bear]]? \\
'''Spike:''' Harm... does this look like a good time to talk?
* This exchange between Harmony and Spike:
-->'''Harmony:''' Is Creator/AntonioBanderas [[Film/InterviewWithTheVampire a vampire?]]\\
'''Spike:''' No.\\
'''Harmony:''' [[{{Defictionalization}} Can I turn him into a vampire?]]\\
'''Spike:''' No. ''[{{beat}}]'' On second thought, sure. Do that. Take your time. Do Melanie and the kids, too.
** "Harmony, what does it take for you to [[SuddenlyShouting SHUT THE HELL UP?!]]"
* Anya drops her clothes while Xander's back is turned, and he turns around holding a juice box that he squeezes hard, squirting the contents. You can guess where it goes from there.
** [[Film/TheBigLebowski He fixes the cable?]]
* Another Anya gem:
-->'''Anya:''' ''[to Giles in his own home]'' I need to talk to Xander. Go away.
* Buffy running into Harmony and Spike at a party, and looking visibly amused when she realizes the "boyfriend" Harmony had been threatening Willow with had been him.
-->'''Buffy''': Spike... ''[cracking a grin]'' ...and ''Harmony''.
** Harmony insults Buffy's outfit, and Buffy hardcore ''glowers'' at her for it.
** Parker extending a hand to introduce himself, and Spike and Harmony [[HandshakeRefusal just staring at him silently until he awkwardly drops his hand]].
--->'''Spike:''' I like him. He's got, um... what's the word? [[ImpliedDeathThreat Vulnerability]].\\
'''Buffy:''' And you with Harmony. What, did you lose a bet?\\
'''Harmony:''' ''[sounding genuinely offended]'' Hey!
* While Spike and Buffy fight, Harmony reveals that Spike got dumped by Drusilla.
-->'''Buffy:''' What's the matter, Spike? Dru dump you again?\\
'''Spike:''' Maybe I dumped her!\\
'''Harmony:''' She left him for a fungus demon. It's all he talks about most days.\\
'''Spike:''' ''[rolling his eyes upward]'' ''HARM''!
** And, moments later, Harmony reveals that Spike's looking for the Gem of Amarra, much to his frustration.
* Parker asking if Buffy and Spike used to date, causing Buffy to immediately burst out in laughter at the idea. Doubles as HilariousInHindsight.
* This exchange when Spike forbids Harmony from leaving the lair:
-->'''Harmony:''' You said we'd go to [[RunningGag France]], and now I can't even leave the lair?\\
''[Spike's henchmen disperse, grumbling to each other]''\\
'''Spike:''' Listen to me, you stupid bint. This gem is everything. I came back to Sunnydale for it, a place which has witnessed some truly spectacular kickings of my ass. Now, when I have the Gem, they all die, don't worry. But until then, stay inside. And by the way, I would be insanely happy if, from this point on, I heard bugger-all about ''SODDING FRANCE''!
* Spike's DramaticNecklaceRemoval off of a corpse with what he believes to be the Gem of Amarra, and Harmony in the background undercutting his dramatics:
-->'''Harmony:''' Ew. Like you're too good to work a clasp.
* Spike's PreAsskickingOneLiner to Buffy who's reeling from Parker's rejection of her:
-->'''Spike:''' Well, that was pathetic. ''[punches Buffy as she turns]''
* Spike remarks he wants to see if he'll freckle in the sunlight.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E4FearItself Fear Itself]]" (4x04)]]
* When Buffy visits Giles at his home, he is wearing a huge sombrero, for a hilarious visual.
* Willow is all sunny discussing Halloween, after Parker dumped Buffy.
-->'''Willow:''' We need to make sure Buffy has fun. Force fun upon her. And if Parker shows up, we'll just... axe-murder him! ''That's'' [[BuffySpeak Halloween-y]]!
* Giles and Anya trying to gain entrance to the magically sealed house:
-->'''Giles:''' ''[reading through a magical text]'' We need to... create a door.\\
'''Anya:''' [...] You can do that?\\
'''Giles:''' I can.\\
''[He pulls a chainsaw out of his bag and starts cutting]''
** Xander after Giles makes his way into the attic:
--->'''Xander:''' It's Giles! With a chainsaw!
* They discuss how to end the haunting of the house. Giles reads from his book:
--> '''Giles:''' The summoning spell for Gachnar can be shut down in one of two ways. Destroying the Mark of Gachnar...\\
''[Buffy immediately destroys the mark]''\\
'''Giles:''' ''[[[DisapprovingLook glares annoyed at Buffy]], raising his voice]'' ...is '''not''' one of them, and will in fact immediately bring forth the Fear Demon itself!
** Then Gachnar turns out to be ''three inches tall''. Buffy slays him by stomping on him, and doesn't even put much effort into it.
* The exchange between Xander and Giles that follows Gachnar's appearance:
-->'''Giles:''' Don't taunt the Fear Demon.\\
'''Xander:''' Why? Can he hurt me?\\
'''Giles:''' No. It's just tacky.
* The final scene:
-->'''Buffy:''' There's no problem that cannot be solved by chocolate!\\
'''Willow:''' I think I'm gonna barf...\\
'''Buffy:''' Except that.
* Last lines:
-->'''Buffy:''' What's the matter?\\
'''Giles:''' ''[comes over to show her the book]'' I should have translated the Gaelic inscription under the illustration of Gachnar.\\
'''Buffy:''' What's it say?\\
'''Giles:''' Actual size.
** What really makes this last scene is the ominous music playing through it that every viewer has heard right before something bad is about to be revealed... that drops off as soon as Giles says his last line.
** Then Buffy simply closes the book, and we SmashToBlack.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E5BeerBad Beer Bad]]" (4x05)]]
* Buffy's DaydreamSurprise RescueRomance is kinda sad the first time around, but becomes hilarious the second time when Parker now has his shirt open and he's holding a bouquet of roses in one hand and a pint of ice cream in the other.
* Cavewoman-Buffy demanding more beer.
--> '''Cavewoman-Buffy:''' Want more beer!\\
'''Xander:''' No, I've cut you off.\\
'''Cavewoman-Buffy:''' ...[[LiteralMinded Did it hurt?]]
* Xander leaves the bar, then makes a brief return to tell Jack, "You're a bad, bad man!", complete with finger-pointing.
* Xander wonders where Giles is. Cut to Giles stuck asking a student if he's seen Buffy.
-->'''Giles:''' Blonde. About this tall. She walks with a sort of a sideways limp.
* Willow is reaming Parker for his transparent attempt to sweet talk her.
-->'''Willow:''' I tell you, men haven't changed since the beginning of time.
-->The cavemen barge in.
-->'''Willow:''' See?!
* Hammering home the special message from the episode:
-->'''Xander:''' And was there a lesson in all this? Huh? What did we learn about beer?\\
'''Cavewoman-Buffy:''' Foamy!\\
'''Xander:''' Good. Just as long as that's clear.
* And at the very end, the gang locks the snobs-turned-cavemen in some random person's van, Parker shows up begging forgiveness, and Cavewoman-Buffy clubs him unconscious.
** Then the Scoobies look down at Parker before starting to head off, though Xander has to gently guide Cavewoman-Buffy in the correct direction. All the while the cavemen keep making wild noises in the van.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E7TheInitiative The Initiative]]" (4x07)]]
* Spike vows to get Buffy, not caring how brilliant she is. Cut to Buffy in a lecture with ink all over her hands and later ruining her notes.
-->Stupid pen.
* 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 [[MundaneMadeAwesome slow-mo]]...
** Let's not forget also the battle music that actually sets in, as if this would be actually a suspenseful fight!
** What's even better about this episode is that it's the only fight in [[Series/{{Angel}} either]] series in which any of the actors actually were hurt afterwards. Not badly, but they had to wear shin guards and kneepads so they didn't get too bruised.
* The scene with Spike being unable to attack Willow (which is played as [[TheLoinsSleepTonight a metaphor for impotence]]).
-->'''Willow:''' Why don't we wait half an hour and you can try again? [[{{Beat}} ...]] [[LateToThePunchline Or...]] ''[hits Spike over the head with a lamp]''
* This exchange:
-->'''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 scene where Willow is advising Riley on how to initiate conversation with Buffy:
-->'''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.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E8Pangs Pangs]]" (4x08)]]
* Buffy's BlatantLies about why she's having Thanksgiving at Giles's house, and Giles's response.
-->'''Giles:''' I see. And this is in no way a scheme to stick me with the clean-up.
* Giles being inducted into the ritual of Thanksgiving dinner.
-->'''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!
* Buffy declaring "I like my evil like I like my men--evil!" What makes this line so funny is the sheer amount of ''self-awareness'' Buffy exhibits when she says it.
* Buffy's sarcastic response to Spike being harmless:
-->So you haven't murdered anybody lately? Let's be best pals.
* Buffy ties Spike up:
-->'''Spike''': Bloody hell, woman. You're cuttin' off my circulation.
-->'''Buffy''': You don't have any circulation.
-->'''Spike''': Well, it pinches.
* This exchange after Buffy and Willow argue about Hus:
-->'''Spike:''' Oh, someone put a stake in me!\\
'''Xander:''' Got a lot of volunteers in here.
** Followed by this:
--->'''Spike:''' I just can't take all this mamby-pamby boo-hooing about the bloody Indians!\\
'''Willow:''' The preferred term is--\\
'''Spike:''' ''You won''! Alright? You came in, and you killed them, and you took their land! That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not goin' 'round saying "I came, I conquered, ''[switches to a mopey voice halfway]'' I felt really bad about it!" The history of the world is not people making friends. You had better weapons and you massacred them. End of story.
** Giles grumbles about how he made the same points earlier, but no one listened to him.
* Syphilis-struck Xander and his many travails, plus Spike's attitude.
-->'''Spike:''' No, leave him. He's looking pretty weak and I ''think'' I can drink his blood if he's already dead.
* Spike being a lousy Thanksgiving guest:
-->'''Spike:''' Hey. When do I get fed?\\
'''Buffy:''' Later. ''[to Giles]'' I hope the others are okay.\\
'''Spike:''' Do you know what happens to vampires who don't get to feed?\\
'''Giles:''' I wondered that, actually.\\
'''Buffy:''' Giles, plates.\\
'''Spike:''' Living skeletons, mate. Like famine pictures from those dusty countries. [[NightmareFetishist Only not half as funny.]]\\
'''Buffy:''' You can have gravy. That has blood in it.\\
'''Spike:''' Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[annoyed]'' Do I have to gag you? Because I won't listen to you whine all through my dinner.
* The way everyone keeps assuming Angel is evil again, for absolutely no reason.
** And then Angel brutally snaps a guy's neck.
--->'''Anya:''' What's he like when he ''is'' evil?
* The scene where Willow, Xander, and Anya are rushing to help Buffy and Giles... on stolen bicycles. [[MundaneMadeAwesome Complete with heroic music]].
* After Hus turns into a bear after Buffy stabs him with his own knife.
-->'''Spike:''' [[BearsAreBadNews A BEAR! YOU MADE A BEAR!]]\\
'''Buffy:''' I didn't mean to!\\
'''Spike:''' UNDO IT! UNDO IT!!
* Spike grumbling about not getting any food during Thanksgiving dinner in the final scene. His dry, resentful tone is what makes it utterly hysterical.
-->'''Willow:''' Two seconds of conflict with an indigenous person and I turn into General Custer.\\
'''Giles:''' Well, violence does that. You know, instinct takes over.\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah... that's the fun.\\
'''Xander:''' Nobody asked you.\\
'''Spike:''' Oh, lay off! You all had a fine meal. And me? An entire siege; think one of you would bleed a little.
* The episode ends with Xander letting slip that Angel was in town helping the gang save the day. What really takes the cake is Spike's expression.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E9SomethingBlue Something Blue]]" (4x09)]]
* Buffy and Giles interrogating Spike... while he's chained up in Giles's bathtub.
-->'''Giles:''' Spike, we have no intention of killing a harmless... creature, but we have to know what's been done to you. We can't let you go until we're sure you're impotent or...\\
'''Spike:''' Hey!\\
'''Giles:''' Sorry. Until we know that you're--\\
'''Buffy:''' Flaccid?\\
'''Spike:''' You are one step away, missy!\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[mock fear]'' Giles, help! He's gonna scold me! ''[{{beat}}]'' You know what? I don't think you want us to let you go. Maybe we made it a little too comfy for ya.\\
'''Spike:''' Comfy? I'm chained in a bathtub drinking pig's blood from a novelty mug. Doesn't rate huge in the Zagat's guide.\\
'''Buffy:''' You want something nicer? ''[flaunts her neck]'' Look at my poor neck, all bare and tender and exposed.\\
''[Spike, very tempted, tries to lean closer]''\\
'''Buffy:''' All that blood just pumping away.\\
'''Giles:''' ''[makes a "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe" expression]'' Oh, please.\\
'''Spike:''' Giles, make her stop!
* Giles is talking on the phone to Willow when Spike, still chained up in the bathtub, demands that he turn on the television.
-->'''Spike:''' ''Series/{{Passions}}'' is on! Timmy's down the bloody well! AND IF YOU MAKE ME MISS IT, I'LL--\\
'''Giles:''' ''[calls toward the bathroom]'' You'll do what? Lick me to death?!
** Followed by this line:
--->'''Giles:''' ''[to Willow over the phone]'' Among other things, I'd like to shower sometime today. ''Alone''.
* Willow changing Amy (who turned herself into a mouse in "Gingerbread") back into a human, without noticing it. And instantly changing her back into a mouse before Amy can say anything.
* Spike tearing at the ground, yelling for the Initiative to open up and fix him, after he ends up crossing paths with Buffy due to Willow's spell makes for a funny sight.
* This exchange as Buffy hauls a bound Spike back into Giles's apartment:
-->'''Spike:''' Watch it!\\
'''Buffy:''' One more word out of you, and I swear--\\
'''Spike:''' Swear what? You won't do anything to me. You don't have the stones!\\
'''Buffy:''' I got the stones. I got a whole bunch of... stones!\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah? You're all talk.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[calling out to Giles]'' Giles, I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
* After Buffy and Spike have been enchanted to marry each other, hilarity ensues:
-->'''Spike:''' Look at that lip. Gonna get it. Gonna get it. ''[starts kissing]''\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh, stop.\\
'''Giles:''' Yes, please stop.
** Buffy announcing to Riley about her wedding:
--->'''Buffy:''' I'm getting married, can you believe it?\\
'''Riley:''' ...I don't think "no" is a strong enough word.
*** Buffy continuing to gush to him about her husband-to-be:
---->'''Buffy:''' You'll really like him! Well, nobody ''really'' likes him-- \\
'''Riley:''' I just need to clear a few things up here.\\
'''Buffy:''' --''I'' [[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem don't even really like him. But I love him.]] I do.\\
'''Riley:''' Who?\\
'''Buffy:''' What?\\
'''Riley:''' What's his name?\\
'''Buffy:''' Who?\\
'''Riley:''' The groom?\\
'''Buffy:''' Spike!\\
'''Riley:''' [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude That's a name?]]
** Then Xander finds out...
--->'''Buffy:''' Spike and I are getting married!\\
'''Xander:''' How? What? How?\\
'''Giles:''' Three excellent questions.
** Shortly after...
--->'''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.
** Followed almost immediately by Spike and Buffy going full speed with the kissing:
--->'''Xander''': C-can I be blind too?
** Giles stumbling and falling to the floor after everyone (well, except Buffy and Spike...) figures out that Willow is causing all the strangeness in the episode.
** Then the issue of Spike's name...
--->'''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:''' ''[[[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]]]'' Huh. Such a good question.\\
'''Buffy:''' My mother gave me that name!\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah, your mother's a genius.\\
'''Buffy:''' Don't you start on my mother!
** This exchange:
--->'''Buffy:''' You want me to stop working?\\
'''Spike:''' Oh, let's see, do I want you to give up killing my friends? Yeah, I've given it some thought.
** This line from Giles after Buffy refers to she, Spike, and Giles as a family.
--->'''Giles:''' It's alright, [[INeedAFreakingDrink I-I have more scotch...]]
** Spike finding a particularly ugly skirt in Buffy's closet and declaring that if she wears it to the rehearsal dinner, the wedding's off.
** Somewhat later...
--->'''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.
* Xander testing if Giles is really blind by waving his hand in front of his face:
--> '''Giles:''' Stop whatever it is you're doing, you smell like fruit roll-ups.
* When Willow's spell breaks, Buffy and Spike are in the middle of a kiss:
-->'''Spike:''' Oh! Bloody hell!\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[jumps back, spitting]'' Spike lips! Lips... Of Spike!!
* The denouement...
-->'''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, [[EvenEvilHasStandards 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!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E10Hush Hush]]" (4x10)]]
* This exchange:
--> '''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.
* Giles dryly remarking "Thank you for knocking" after Xander and Anya enter without a word to him.
* Giles and Spike pausing to look at Xander and Anya after Anya gripes that all Xander cares about is having orgasms, followed by this:
-->'''Xander:''' Okay, remember how we talked about private conversations? How they're less private in front of my friends?\\
'''Spike:''' Oh, we're not your friends. Go on.\\
'''Giles:''' Please don't.
* After Giles asks Xander to take Spike for a few days because he's having a friend over and wants to be alone with said friend:
-->'''Anya:''' You mean an orgasm friend?\\
'''Giles:''' Yes, that's exactly the most appalling thing you could have said.
* Spike has to stay in Xander's basement and is tied to a chair by his bed, he says the following with the ''funniest girly voice you have ever heard'':
-->'''Spike:''' "Xander, don't you care about me?"\\
'''Xander:''' Shut up.\\
'''Spike:''' "We never talk."\\
'''Xander:''' Shut up!\\
'''Spike:''' "Xaaaaander..."\\
'''Xander''': SHUT UP!
* Xander picks up the phone, calls Buffy, and[[{{Beat}} ...]]hangs up. Then he shouts random things to see if he can vocalize a sound, blaming Spike at the top of his lungs, and Spike, still tied to a chair, [[FlippingTheBird flips him the V]]. Really, the half-an-[[OurActsAreDifferent 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.
** After Xander's belatedly realizes he can't use the phone ''when he can't talk'', Spike gives him a "Nice going, genius" look. To which Xander flips him off.
* 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.
-->'''Forrest:''' ''[held up behind Riley's head]'' Come on! Come on!
* Walsh pointing out the "''IN CASE OF EMERGENCY USE STAIRWAY''" sign to Riley and Forrest after they had just survived the Initiative's poison gas countermeasures.
** What makes it even better is that, judging by the long-suffering look on her face, she's done this several times already with the other soldiers.
* The sheer terror the Gentlemen inspires kills it a bit, but Creator/DougJones does a hilarious "oh shucks, you shouldn't have" gesture when the others applaud his presenting the hearts they've gotten.
* Giles's overhead presentation, complete with stick figure drawings (using copious amounts of red pen for blood), Anya [[PassThePopcorn nonchalantly munching popcorn throughout]] and, best of all, Buffy's easily misinterpreted "staking" motion. Then her outraged "my hips aren't ''that'' big!" gesture.
* Xander attacks Spike when he thinks he's bitten and killed Anya, who wakes up and stands up near the two men as they brawl, and Spike simply points at Anya to convince Xander otherwise.
** Then Anya, pleased by Xander's reaction to her supposed murder, holds one hand up in the "OK" sign, then pokes her forefinger through it repeatedly. Giles' expression at this is glorious to behold.
* When Buffy and Riley are fighting the Gentleman's minions, it's got Buffy gripped so she can't move. She signals Riley to smash the box that holds the voices. Riley smashes one of the jars and happily looks up at Buffy who rolls her eyes in frustration.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E11Doomed Doomed]]" (4x11)]]
* Spike tries to bash Xander with a wrench... only for [[RestrainingBolt his chip]] to go off, without Xander even noticing.
* Spike's ridiculous get-up after he accidentally shrinks his normal clothes in the laundry machine, and the following exchange:
-->'''Spike:''' I shrunk them. Bleeding shirt, trousers... I hate this place.\\
'''Xander:''' I'm no happier about you wearing my stuff than you are.\\
'''Spike:''' Go out. Get me some decent stuff. And I want more blood.\\
'''Xander:''' No! You're not a guest.\\
'''Spike:''' You want me to tear this place apart, you poof?\\
'''Xander:''' That's it! I am way past through with you. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech I hate to break it to you, O impotent one, but you're not the Big Bad anymore. You're not even the Kind of Naughty. You're nothing but a waste of space--my space! And as much as I got a big laugh watching Buffy kick your shiny white bum, and as much as I know I can give you a bum-kicking, I'm here to tell you somethin'--you're not even worth it.]]
* Giles informs the Scoobies that the Vahrall demons are planning to bring about the end of the world. Their response:
-->'''Buffy, Willow, Xander:''' [[HereWeGoAgain AGAIN??]]
** Buffy then gives Giles grief for not taking her misgivings seriously earlier:
--->'''Buffy:''' I said "end of the world," and you're like "Pooh, pooh, southern California! Pooh, pooh!"\\
'''Giles:''' I'm so very sorry. My contrition completely dwarfs the impending apocalypse.
* Can we have a moment of appreciation for Buffy and Riley discussing their similar career choices in public?
--> '''Riley:''' I mean, you're a... fry cook, and so am I!\\
'''Buffy:''' Yes, but you're an amateur fry cook, and I come from a long line of fry cooks who don't live past twenty-five!
* Spike tries to commit suicide by falling onto a stake, and [[InterruptedSuicide his attempt fails, thanks to Willow and Xander entering, startling him and causing him to crash onto the table]].
** Xander's response to Spike trying to off himself:
--->'''Xander:''' For one thing, that's my shirt you're about to dust. For another, we've shared a lot. You should have trusted me enough to do it for you.\\
'''Willow:''' Xander!\\
'''Xander:''' What? He wants to die, I wanna help.
** Spike tries to scare Willow. [[NoSell It doesn't work.]]
* Spike's BriefAccentImitation when Riley asks him "Don't I know you?"
* Spike is overjoyed to discover he can hurt demons, showing he doesn't care so much who he fights so long as he fights.
** He tosses the last of the Vahrall demons into the pit, not realizing what the others have figured out; the demons are sacrificing themselves to end the world. Cue horrified looks.
--->'''Spike:''' What? I was helping!
* At the end of the episode:
-->'''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 cuts to black]'' Oh, come on!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E12ANewMan A New Man]]" (4x12)]]
* Spike takes his precious time moving out of Xander's basement, much to Xander's annoyance.
-->'''Xander:''' You own nothing. This shouldn't be taking so long.\\
'''Spike:''' Hang on. Let a fella get organized. ''[takes Xander's radio]''\\
'''Xander:''' That's my radio.\\
'''Spike:''' And you're what? Shocked and disappointed? [[CardCarryingVillain I'm evil.]]\\
'''Anya:''' So what kind of place are you looking for?\\
'''Spike:''' I don't know. Maybe a crypt. Some place, y'know, dark and dank. But not as dark and dank as this.
** Anya attempts to give Spike Xander's lamp.
--->'''Anya:''' Wait. I wanna give you something for your new place. ''[hands the lamp to Spike]''\\
'''Xander:''' That's my lamp.\\
'''Anya:''' A gift is traditional. I've read about it.\\
'''Xander:''' That's among ''friends''. With bitter enemies, we don't give them my lamp.\\
'''Spike:''' It's not gonna have electricity anyway. It's a crypt, remember?\\
'''Anya:''' What about running water? A fridge to keep your blood fresh?\\
'''Spike:''' No.\\
'''Anya:''' Oh. Well, that's gotta suck. You should just get a hotel room.\\
'''Spike:''' Demon Girl's got a point. I need fresh blood. If I had a few bob for a room with an honor bar--\\
'''Xander:''' Out! Before I get the Slayer over here to kick your ass out!
* The cut from Xander's taunt to Spike about Buffy meeting with someone who's "actually still scary" to Professor Walsh going "So, the Slayer."
* Buffy's interview with Walsh:
-->'''Walsh:''' Agent Finn here, alone, has killed or captured... how many is it?\\
'''Riley:''' ''[extremely proud]'' Seventeen!\\
'''Buffy:''' [[DamnedByFaintPraise Oh... Wow. I mean, that's... seventeen.]]
* Giles going "OhCrap" after finding out that a demon prince is due to rise at sundown that same day.
* Giles pissing and moaning at Xander and Willow for not telling him that Riley is a commando.
-->'''Giles:''' Stop, both of you. What are you talking about? What's the Initiative? What on earth does it have to do with Buffy's new boyfriend?\\
'''Willow:''' You know. I'm sure you know. Riley's one of the commandos.\\
'''Giles:''' What?! Well, that's marvelous, isn't it? Here I am, having spent weeks trying to get a single scrap of information about our mysterious demon collectors, and no one bothers to tell me Buffy's dating one of them?! ''[[[PerpSweating shines his flashlight into Xander and Willow's faces]]]'' Who else knows?\\
'''Xander:''' No one. No one else knows this. ''[{{beat}}]'' Anya, and that's it.\\
'''Willow:''' ''[reluctantly]'' And Spike.\\
'''Giles:''' ''Spike''?! Spike knew?!\\
'''Xander:''' Only the basic stuff. You know, that Riley is a commando and Professor Walsh is in charge--\\
'''Giles:''' Professor Walsh?! That fishwife?
** Giles sends Xander and Willow on their way, and decides to stay behind. Xander and Willow offer to stay, but Giles tells them to go, so they hustle out.
** Giles then waits a moment or two before giving up:
--->'''Giles:''': Oh, who am I kidding? ''[collects his supplies]'' Nothing is going to happen. ''[leaves and closes the door]''\\
'''Ethan:''' ''[coming out of the shadows]'' I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that at all. In fact, Ripper, old mate, I'd say something rather interesting was about to hap--\\
'''Giles:''' ''[comes back in]'' Is someone--\\
'''Ethan:''' Oh, bugger! I thought you'd gone!
* Ethan and Giles getting royally sloshed:
-->'''Ethan:''' Who's Maggie Walsh?\\
'''Giles:''' Oh, she's awful. She said I was a... absent male role model. Absent, my arse. I'm twice the man she is.\\
[...]\\
'''Giles:''' What am I? I'm an unemployed librarian with a tendency to get knocked on the head.
* Fyarl-Giles [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength accidentally tearing off a banister in his apartment]].
-->'''Fyarl-Giles:''' Damn!
** He then tries pulling on the shirt he wore the day before, only to end up tearing it.
--->'''Fyarl-Giles:''' Oh! And I liked that shirt!
* Fyarl-Giles enters Xander's basement to find him still asleep.
-->'''Fyarl-Giles:''' Still asleep? It's 10:30 in the morning!
** He then walks over to the bed and gets Xander to wake up. Xander sees Fyarl-Giles (who, to Xander, is speaking in the Fyarl language) and freaks out, jumping up and throwing pans at Fyarl-Giles, causing him to flee.
--->'''Xander:''' That's right! Run for your life!
* Fyarl-Giles running across someone's front yard, where children are playing. He ends up stepping on a kid's toy and cries "I'm sorry!" before continuing to flee, yelling "BLOODY HUMANS!"
* Spike telling Fyarl-Giles about the Fyarl demon's super-mucus:
-->'''Fyarl-Giles:''' Listen, about this Fyarl demon. Do I have special powers? Like setting things on fire with my sizzling eye beams?\\
'''Spike:''' Well, you got the mucus thing.\\
'''Fyarl-Giles:''' What? Mucus?\\
'''Spike:''' Paralyzing mucus. Shoots out through the nose. Sets up fast, hard as rock. Pretty good in a fight.\\
'''Fyarl-Giles:''' Are you making this up?\\
'''Spike:''' Maybe. But, hey, if you feel a sneeze comin' on, you warn me.
* Fyarl-Giles chasing Walsh down the street. Petty yet satisfying.
** Spike laughs at Fyarl-Giles after he gets back in the car and says "Right, let's go, then."
* Spike driving Giles's car as a distraction for Initiative soldiers, and crashing it just as he's yelling "You just try and stop me, you stupid jarhe--!"
* When confronted by Fyarl-Giles, Ethan tries to talk him down like you would an aggressive canine, even calling him "Good Giles."
* Giles' :D face as Ethan is arrested.
-->'''Giles:''' Erm... if you don't mind, I'm just gonna go and watch them... manhandle him into a vehicle. ''[exit stage left]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E13TheIInTeam The I in Team]]" (4x13)]]
* Spike has a tracer planted into his shoulder by the Initiative. Giles calls Willow in to use a spell to disrupt its 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. 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 ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' character.
--->'''Willow:''' Did it work? Is the atmosphere ionized?\\
'''Giles:''' ...I'd venture "yes."
* Xander tries to sell a Boost Bar to Giles, who tries a bite:
-->'''Giles:''' Please leave my home now.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E14GoodbyeIowa Goodbye Iowa]]" (4x14)]]
* This exchange between Buffy and Xander:
-->'''Buffy:''' OK, everybody grab a weapon. We've gotta move.\\
'''Xander:''' And storm the Initiative? Yeah, let's take on those suckers.\\
'''Buffy:''' I was thinking more that we'd hide.\\
'''Xander:''' Thank God.
* Giles is resistant to the idea of hiding in Xander's basement.
-->'''Giles:''' I will not squat in that dank hole.\\
'''Spike:''' What? It was good enough for me, but you're above it all?\\
'''Giles:''' Precisely.
** [[TemptingFate Giles wonders why they can't just stay right where they are, saying it's very unlikely the Initiative will find them there... only for Riley to come in.]] Giles is left utterly speechless.
* When Riley identifies him as Hostile 17, Spike starts to fake an American accent, only to drop it and admit the truth.
** Followed by this:
--->'''Buffy:''' This is Spike. He's... It's a really long story. But he's not bad anymore.\\
'''Spike:''' What am I, a bleedin' broken record? I'm bad! It's just... I can't bite anymore, thanks to you wankers.
* Spike's "supportive thumbs up" dopey grin before leaving.
-->'''Spike:''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Leaving you swabs to your dramatics, thanks.]] I've got my stories on the telly for that. By the by, if you're trying to kill her... ''[thumbs up]''
* Giles is ''very'' cranky in the morning.
-->'''Giles:''' Must we have the noise? ''[turns off the television]'' My head is splitting.\\
'''Willow:''' Look who's Cranky Bear in the morning.\\
'''Giles:''' [[SarcasmMode Yes, I can't imagine why I didn't sleep well in my beach ball.]]\\
'''Anya:''' Every time you moved, it made squeaky noises. It was irritating.\\
'''Giles:''' Really? I'm surprised you could hear it over your Wagnerian snoring.\\
'''Buffy:''' OK, you guys, could we not, please? Everything's screwed up enough without you two doing scenes from my parents' marriage.\\
'''Anya:''' Sorry.\\
'''Giles:''' Sorry.
* Buffy delivers what ''could'' have been one of her more badass speeches.
-->'''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 stares at her]''\\
'''Buffy:''' ...that probably would've sounded more commanding if I wasn't wearing my yummy sushi pajamas.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E15ThisYearsGirl This Year's Girl]]" (4x15) / "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E16WhoAreYou Who Are You]]" (4x16)]]
* Riley's InUniverse ContinuityLockout: 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.
-->'''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.
** FridgeBrilliance here; except for the name, Spike's summation of Faith sounds like a certain other recurring character he's associated with.
* Faith, as Buffy, out-guesses Spike.
-->'''Spike:''' You know why I really hate you, Summers?\\
'''Faith-in-Buffy:''' 'Cause I'm a stuck-up tight-ass with no sense of fun?\\
'''Spike:''' Well...yeah, that covers a lot of it.
* While heading out of the Bronze, Spike roughly shoves a random guy out of his way, and even ''that'' is enough to trigger his chip.
* Buffy-in-Faith trying to convince Giles of her true identity, with Creator/ElizaDushku doing a '''dead perfect''' Creator/SarahMichelleGellar impression.
-->'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' Giles, I swear. It's me.\\
'''Giles:''' If you are Buffy, you'll let me tie you up, without killing me, until we find out whether you're telling the truth.\\
'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' Giles, Faith has taken my body and, for all I know, she's taken it to Mexico by now. I don't have time for bondage fun. Ask me a question. Ask me anything.\\
'''Giles:''' Who's president?\\
'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' We're checking for Buffy, not a concussion.
** Including this:
--->'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' And you have a girlfriend named Olivia. And you haven't had a job since we blew up the school, which is valid, lifestyle-wise. I mean, it's not like you're a slacker type, but... When I had psychic power, I heard Mom think you were like a stevedore during sex. Do you want me to continue?\\
'''Giles:''' ''[horrified expression with deadpan delivery]'' Actually, I beg you to stop.\\
'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' What's a stevedore?
* Giles, Willow, and Tara distracting the police while Buffy-in-Faith sneaks off to enter the church.
-->'''Giles:''' Damn it, man! We have to get inside! Our-Our families are in there. Our mothers, and tiny, tiny babies!
* Faith-in-Buffy comes to a church to save people held hostage by vampires and runs into Riley.
--> '''Faith-in-Buffy:''' How'd you get here so fast?\\
'''Riley:''' I didn't; [[RealMenLoveJesus I'm just late for church.]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E17Superstar Superstar]]" (4x17)]]
* This:
-->'''Xander:''' So we're saying he did a spell just to make us think he was cool?\\
'''Giles:''' Yes.\\
'''Xander:''' That is so cool!
* Riley's insistence that he is too tall, along with Xander's fear of a world without Jonathan to protect everyone.
* This:
-->'''Buffy:''' Giles, do you have a Jonathan swimsuit calendar?\\
'''Giles:''' No!\\
''[Buffy finds one on his dining room table under a stack of papers]''\\
'''Giles:''' [[BlatantLies It was a present!]]
* Anya trying to explain the concept of [[AlternateUniverse alternate universes]].
-->'''Anya:''' Say you really like shrimp a lot. Or we could say you don't like shrimp at all. "Blah, I wish there weren't any shrimp" you would say to yourself...\\
'''Buffy:''' Stop, you're saying it wrong! ''[to the others]'' I think that Jonathan may be doing something so that he's manipulating the world and we're all, like, his pawns.\\
'''Anya:''' ''[under her breath]'' Or prawns.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''Stop with the shrimp!''
* This gem:
-->'''Willow:''' They work, Riley. But they take concentration, being attuned with the forces of the universe.\\
'''Xander:''' Right. You can't just go "''librum incendere''" and expect--\\
''[The book Xander is reading bursts in flames and he closes it, stopping the fire]''\\
'''Giles:''' ''[wearily]'' Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E18WhereTheWildThingsAre Where the Wild Things Are]]" (4x18)]]
* Buffy and Riley fight a vampire and a demon with horns.
-->'''Buffy:''' Okay, you get fang, I get horny. ''[{{Beat}}]'' I mean...
* After Buffy and Riley head off for some...one-on-one time, Willow starts to comment on what they're doing, only for Giles to deliver this nugget:
-->'''Giles:''' Yes, thank you, Willow. I did attend a university in the Mesozoic Era. I do remember what it's like.
* Spike trying to rob Anya... by jumping out and scaring her with his vamp face. [[NoSell It doesn't work.]]
-->'''Anya:''' Oh. It's you. Spike! What are you doing? You made me yell really high.\\
'''Spike:''' Hey. Yeah, I did. I scared you. ''[{{beat}}]'' Give me money.\\
'''Anya:''' I'm not paying you for scaring me.\\
'''Spike:''' You're not paying me; I'm robbing you.\\
'''Anya:''' Oh, that's just ludicrous. You can't hurt me; you got a chip in your brain. And I like my money when it's mine.
* After everyone is forced to leave Lowell House by the poltergeists, Spike {{troll}}s Xander in the most ''hilarious'' way possible:
-->'''Xander:''' We're fresh out of super-people and somebody's gotta go back in there. Now who's with me?\\
'''Spike:''' ''[stepping up and speaking in a serious tone]'' I am. I know I'm not the first choice for heroics, and Buffy's tried to kill me more than once, and I don't fancy a single one of you at all, but... actually, all that sounds pretty convincing. ''[[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walks away]]]'' I wonder if Asian House is open.
* Xander tries to re-enter the house by himself... only to promptly get thrown back out by the supernatural force.
* When Willow, Anya, Tara, and Xander go to find Giles, they see him singing and playing guitar in a cafe. Cue stunned looks from the girls, in particular Willow whose mouth falls open, and this line from Xander:
-->'''Xander:''' Could we go back to the haunted house, because this is creeping me out.
** Made all the more funnier when the girls all agree that voice is sexy (it is) and Xander nearly starts a HeroicBSOD.
---> '''Xander:''' I'm fighting ''total'' mental breakdown here, Will. No more fuel on the fire, please?
** All of Xander's dialogue in this scene is just utterly hysterical.
--->'''Tara:''' Does he... do this a lot?\\
'''Xander:''' Sure. Every day the Earth rotates backwards and the skies turn orange.
** They went looking for him after Giles told them he needed some alone time. He spots them mid-song and nearly falters.
** Willow moaning at how good he is, before remembering why she had such a crush on him. Subtext? Where?
* Xander's response after [[HolierThanThou Miss Holt]] tells him, Giles, and Anya that she can smell the sin on them.
-->'''Xander:''' Yeah? You smell sin? Let me tell you somethin', lady. She who smelt it dealt it!\\
''[Giles looks at Xander]''\\
'''Xander:''' It's like what you said, but faster.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E19NewMoonRising New Moon Rising]]" (4x19)]]
* It's brief, but when Oz says that Tara "smells like" Willow, you can see a "WTF?" look form on her face that's hysterical.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E20TheYokoFactor The Yoko Factor]]" (4x20)]]
* Giles yelping like a woman after he spots Spike standing in his living room while he sings Lynyrd Skynrd's "Free Bird" and plays his guitar, followed by this remark from Spike:
-->'''Spike:''' For someone who's got "Watcher" on his resume, you might wanna cast an eye to the front door every now and again.
* Angel's uncharacteristically snarky comment to Buffy about Riley:
-->'''Angel:''' You actually sleep with this guy?
** Uncharacteristic on ''Buffy''; very common on ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
* Angel's parting words. He turns to Buffy, saying "About Riley..." It's set up as a "take care of her" moment, but gets [[DeadHorseTrope mercifully]] [[SubvertedTrope 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.
* Riley finding out that Angel, after he [[OneManArmy annihilated a military strike team]], [[CurbStompBattle beat him up]], and generally acted [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking hostile and insulting]], has ''not'' been turned evil.
-->'''Riley:''' You mean this is a ''good'' day for him?
** This, when Buffy reacts to Angel's and Riley's TestosteronePoisoning by threatening to hospitalize both.
--->'''Buffy:''' Does anyone think I'm joking?\\
'''Angel:''' He star... ''[cue a DeathGlare so furious that Buffy looks like a comical stern mother, shutting him up]''
** When she realises that they've been fighting:
--->'''Angel''': This was an accident.\\
'''Buffy''': Running your car into a tree is an accident. Running your fist into someone's face is a plan.
* The argument between the four main characters has so many hilarious moments:
** Giles drunkenly telling Buffy "[Adam]'s gonna kick your ass!" and bursting into giggles after Xander remarks he'll be doing sit-ups at Fort Dix.
--->'''Buffy''': Are you drunk?\\
'''Giles''': Yes, quite a bit actually.
** This gem from Willow:
-->You two are the two who are the two! I'm the other one.
** Giles' off-screen "Bloody Hell!" after Willow finally comes out as well as this reference to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'':
--->'''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.
** Anya and Tara hide in the bathroom and have a hilariously awkward conversation:
--->'''Tara''': You think this will go on for a while?\\
'''Anya''': ''(nonchalant)'' Hard to say.\\
''They fall silent as they look around the bathroom''.\\
'''Tara''': Nice bathroom.\\
'''Anya''': ''(nodding)'' Like the tile.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E21Primeval Primeval]]" (4x21)]]
* Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles break into the Initiative through the elevator shaft... only to be confronted by Initiative soldiers.
* After their friendship has nearly been broken apart by Spike's machinations, Buffy tells Willow "you're my best friend" and not long after the two hug Xander:
-->'''Buffy:''' Xander!
-->'''Willow:''' Oh, wonderful Xander!
-->'''Buffy:''' You know we love you, right?
-->'''Willow''': We totally do.
-->'''Xander:''' Oh God, we're gonna die, aren't we?
* While interrogating the Scoobies, Colonel [=McNamara=] goes through their bag and finds a gourd.
-->'''[=McNamara=]:''' You think you and your friends can waltz into a government installation brandishing weapons like-like...\\
'''Willow:''' It's a gourd.\\
'''Giles:''' It's a magic gourd.\\
'''[=McNamara=]:''' What kind of freaks are you people?
** This exchange:
--->'''[=McNamara=]:''' Every inch of this installation is under constant twenty-four hour surveillance.\\
'''Willow:''' Including the secret lab?\\
'''[=McNamara=]:''' Including everything! ''[{{beat}}; to Buffy]'' [[KnowNothingKnowItAll What secret lab?]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E22Restless Restless]]" (4x22)]]
* Xander's dream sequence where he's [[Film/ApocalypseNow Benjamin L. Willard and Snyder is Colonel Kurtz]]. Made it into the series because Creator/ArminShimerman does a fantastic Creator/MarlonBrando impression.
-->'''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.
* The single most hilarious part of this episode has to be Giles SINGING his traditional expository monologue about the MonsterOfTheWeek. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NCUSNT3Xuw&feature=related It literally must be seen to be believed]].
** "Xander, help Willow, try not to bleed on my couch, I've just had it steam-cleeeeeeeeeaned!"
* "Spike is like a son to me!"
** "Go on, put your back into it! A Watcher scoffs at gravity!"
* The Cheese Man.
--> '''Buffy:''' Well, at least [[DramaticIrony 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]''
* Willow's dream interpretation of ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman''. It involves a cowboy.
-->'''Cowboy-Riley:''' I'm looking for a man. [[TitleDrop A salesman.]]\\
'''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!
* Giles, as the director of Willow's nightmare ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman'' production, explains 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, [[LogicBomb 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-[[BigBad Ad]][[MixAndMatchMan am]] discussing their plans for world domination ("The key element is coffee makers that think") and their reaction to an Initiative security breach ("This could be serious." "We should build a fort." "I'll get some pillows.").
** The Initiative alarm in that scene: "The demons have escaped. Please run for your lives."
* Riley's declaration that "I showed up early, so I got to be cowboy guy."
* In Giles's nightmare, he finds Spike posing for photos in his crypt. For extra funnies, Spike's portions of the scene are filmed in black and white.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E1BuffyVsDracula Buffy vs. Dracula]]" (5x01)]]
* Buffy's response to Dracula after he introduces himself to her is to look at him for a long moment, then break into a wide grin and exclaim "Get out!"
* This exchange after Xander and Willow catch up to Buffy and Dracula in the cemetery:
-->'''Xander:''' ''[after seeing Dracula]'' Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy.\\
'''Dracula:''' I have no interest in you. Leave us.\\
'''Xander:''' No, we're not going to ''[[[BriefAccentImitation imitates Dracula's accent]]]'' "leave you." And where'd you get that accent, ''Series/SesameStreet''? ''[imitating the Count]'' "Von, two, three--three victims! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!"\\
''[Dracula [[DeathGlare glares]] at Xander]''\\
'''Buffy:''' Xander, I'm pretty sure that's Dracula.\\
'''Xander:''' ''[jumps and quickly gets behind Buffy]'' Wow, really? ''[to Dracula]'' Sorry, man. I was just jokin' around.
* Xander being dismissed by Dracula as "strange and off-putting" after Dracula hypnotizes him.
* Spike hating Dracula because "that poncy bugger" owes him eleven pounds.
* Xander is trying not to let everyone else know that he's been brainwashed by Dracula:
-->'''Xander:''' Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master!\\
''[Everybody looks at him funny]''\\
'''Xander:''' ...bator.
** It gets even funnier not long after:
--->'''Xander:''' I think you're drawing a lot of crazy conclusions about the Unholy Prince.\\
''[Everybody looks at him funny again]''\\
'''Xander:''' ...bator.
* Xander catches Riley in Dracula's castle and basically tells him "{{you shall not pass}}." Riley's response? [[TalkToTheFist Deck Xander right in the face.]]
-->'''Riley:''' Okey-dokey. ''[continues on]''
* Riley's UnwantedRescue of Giles.
-->'''Giles:''' Oh, my shoe. Silly me, I'll just pop...\\
'''Riley:''' No, NO, '''NO''', sir! No more chick pit for you.
* Xander ranting after Dracula is defeated, all the while Buffy, Giles, and Riley stand and listen:
-->'''Xander:''' Where's the creep that turned me into a spider-eating man-bitch?!\\
'''Buffy:''' He's gone.\\
'''Xander:''' Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and [[CallBack gets the funny syphilis]]! As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's {{butt monkey}}!\\
'''Buffy:''' Check. No more butt monkey.
** Followed by this:
--->'''Riley:''' At least you weren't makin' time with the Dracu-babes, like Giles here.\\
'''Giles:''' I was not making time. ''[covering his half-bare chest with his arms]'' I was about to kill those loathsome creatures when Riley interrupted me.\\
'''Riley:''' Really? You were gonna nuzzle 'em to death?\\
'''Giles:''' Of course not! ''[everyone else leaves]'' I was in complete control!
* Buffy taking out Dracula again after he rises from her staking.
-->'''Buffy:''' [[GenreSavvy You think I don't you ever watch your movies? You always come back.]]
** He tries to come back again, right in front of her, and she says "I'm standing right here!" After which he quickly dissipates again.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E2RealMe Real Me]]" (5x02)]]
* Giles has difficulty with his new car.
-->'''Giles:''' Blast!\\
'''Buffy:''' You put it in neutral again, huh?\\
'''Giles:''' I'm just not used to this automatic transmission. I loathe this just sitting here, not contributing. No, it's not working out.\\
'''Buffy:''' Are you breaking up with your car?\\
'''Giles:''' Well, it did seduce me, all red and sporty.\\
'''Buffy:''' Little two-door tramp.
** Followed by this:
--->'''Giles:''' I was so at a loose end that I found myself searching for some way of feeling more...\\
'''Buffy:''' Shallow?\\
'''Giles:''' Perhaps, as I am to be your Watcher again, a modicum of respect might be in order.\\
'''Buffy:''' Do I have to?\\
'''Giles:''' I'm serious, Buffy. There's going to be far less time for the sort of flighty, frivolous--\\
'''Dawn:''' Hey, there's Willow and Tara!\\
'''Giles:''' ''[grinning]'' Ooh, they haven't seen my new car.
* This excellent bit of innuendo:
-->'''Dawn:''' ''[narrating]'' 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.
* This:
-->'''Willow:''' I've cross-checked the inventory list and things are definitely missing, mostly books. Including ''A Treatise on the Mythology and Methodology of the Vampire Slayer''.\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh, shoot! Was that the only copy?
** Giles then cautions Buffy about whoever stole the book might be searching for weaknesses of the Slayer...[[AttentionDeficitOohShiny only to then marvel over how high the store's profit margins are, among other things]].
* "Sire-whipped."
* Xander's adventures in babysitting:
-->'''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]''
* Anya discovering that it's great to have more money than the other players in a board game and excitedly asking if she can trade in her player's kids for more cash.
* Dawn's narration about how Xander sees her as the woman she really is, played over her smiling at him with chocolate ice cream all over her mouth.
* Harmony's calling-out note to Buffy, which has a smiley-face "O".
* The cut from Harmony calling Buffy out to fight to her questioning Xander at the doorway of the Summers home.
-->'''Harmony:''' What do you mean, she's not in there? She has to be. I'm calling her out!\\
'''Xander:''' Then I bet she'll be real sorry she missed your call. You and your buddies'll have to be killed by Buffy later.
** Followed by Xander bursting into laughter after Harmony informs him that her "buddies" are her "minions," and Harmony demanding he stop laughing.
** Also, Xander assuring Dawn he's handling Harmony after she (Dawn) tells Harmony to "Shut up"...then turning back to Harmony and saying "Shut up, Harmony!" Followed by this:
--->'''Harmony:''' Make me.\\
'''Xander:''' I don't feel like another [[CallBack hair-pulling contest with you]].\\
'''Harmony:''' You're the hair-puller, you big girl!
* Xander kicking an attacking Harmony out the doorway and right into her minions.
* Three Words: "Harmony has minions?" Buffy completely loses it with laughter, making this an InUniverse [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments CMOF]].
** The fact that it's a cut from Xander saying "Buffy is not going to be happy about this" to her laughing makes it funnier.
** Even Riley has a hard time not laughing.
* One of Harmony's minions expresses a desire for fighting. Cue Spike tapping his shoulder and slugging him.
-->'''Spike:''' Happy to oblige. I thought it was gonna be a slow night. ''[to the rest of the minions]'' Step on up, kiddies. Thrashings for all.
* Spike and Harmony's ''entire'' conversation, but particularly the part where Harmony tells Spike she has a gang now and is planning to kill Buffy:
-->'''Harmony:''' I've got my own gang now.\\
'''Spike:''' Is that what those circus freaks are?\\
'''Harmony:''' Uh-huh. I mean, shut up! We're gonna kill the Slayer.\\
'''Spike:''' Singing my song now, are you? You should pay me royalties for that one, or at least get your own tune.\\
'''Harmony:''' I'm not gonna make the mistakes you did. I've been doing my homework, reading books.\\
'''Spike:''' What, ''Evil for Dummies''? Look at you, all puffed-up and mighty, thinking you're the new BigBad. It's... well, let's face it; it's adorable.
** And the part where Harmony steals Spike's guess of her EvilPlan against Buffy for herself.
--->'''Harmony:''' I've got a plan.\\
'''Spike:''' Let me guess--[[IHaveYourWife snatch one of her friends, use 'em as bait, lead her into a trap]]. That sort of thing?\\
'''Harmony:''' No. Much, much better one.\\
''[Spike raises his eyebrows questioningly]''\\
'''Harmony:''' I'm not gonna tell you!\\
'''Spike:''' Thought as much. ''[walking off]'' Best of luck. Let me know how this arch-villain thing works out for you.\\
'''Harmony:''' I'll do that. And after Buffy is gone, I'm gonna kill everybody in this town that was ever mean to me. Spike! ''[turns to her minions]'' Guys! New plan.
* Xander still has trouble ''not'' calling Dracula "Master".
* Buffy confronts Harmony:
-->'''Harmony''': So, slayer, at last we meet.
-->'''Buffy''': We've met, Harmony, you halfwit.
* This line from Giles after he takes over the magic shop:
-->'''Giles:''' I was a librarian for years. This is no different except now people ''pay'' for the things they never return.
* This must have been a strange evening.
-->'''Buffy:''' Wow, you've really thought this through. How bored ''were'' you last year?\\
'''Giles:''' ...I watched ''Series/{{Passions}}'' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E3TheReplacement The Replacement]]" (5x03)]]
* While searching for Toth in a junkyard, the Scoobies come across Spike and ask him what he's doing there, leading to this reply:
-->'''Spike:''' [[SarcasmMode There's a nice lady vampire who set up a charming tearoom over the next pile of crap.]] What do you think I'm doing? I'm scavenging.
** Our heroes then ask him if he's seen Toth:
--->'''Giles:''' Spike, we're looking for a demon. Tall, robed, skin sort of hanging off, deep voice.\\
'''Spike:''' You mean a great, tall, [[BuffySpeak robey]] thing like that one? ''[points at Toth standing a few feet behind the Scoobies]''
** During the ensuing fight, Spike encourages Toth to "Kick [Buffy's] ass"...only for Toth use his staff weapon to destroy an object he had been admiring moments earlier, leading to this priceless response from Spike:
--->'''Spike:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, very nice!]] I was on your side! ''[tosses the destroyed object to the ground]''
* One of the Xanders tries to prove himself to Willow by [[{{Adorkable}} doing the Snoopy dance]].
* After Anya suggests she should have sex with both Xanders, Giles, who's down on the floor drawing a mystical symbol needed to reintegrate the two Xanders, makes a face that screams "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe"
-->'''Giles:''' ''[standing back up]'' We just need to arrange the candles. Also, we should continue to pretend we heard none of the disturbing sex talk.
* Giles remarking that Xander is a bad influence on himself after both Xanders say "Kill us both, [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Spock]]!" and Willow says they're kind of the same now.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E4OutOfMyMind Out of My Mind]]" (5x04)]]
* This lovely exchange after the opening fight scene:
-->'''Buffy:''' Spike, I just saw you taste your own nose blood. You know what? I'm too grossed out to hear anything you have to say. Go home. ''[walks off with Riley]''\\
'''Spike:''' ''[defensively]'' It's blood! It's what I do!
* Spike [[FailedAttemptAtDrama makes a short but badass speech about killing Buffy, then turns and strolls off... only to fall into an open grave]].
-->'''Spike:''' Ow!
* Spike sitting in his crypt watching ''Series/DawsonsCreek''.
-->'''Spike:''' Oh, Pacey, you blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?
* Spike and Harmony's exchange after she enters the crypt.
-->'''Harmony:''' Didn't you hear? I'm totally [Buffy's] arch-nemesis!\\
'''Spike:''' Is that right? [[SarcasmMode I must've missed the memo.]]\\
'''Harmony:''' There was a mem-- Spike, oh my God! This is, like, a real emergency!
* Spike and Harmony playing 20 Questions:
-->'''Spike:''' Okay, is it bigger than a breadbox?\\
'''Harmony:''' No. Four left.\\
'''Spike:''' So it's smaller than a breadbox.\\
'''Harmony:''' No! Only three!\\
'''Spike:''' ''[irritable]'' Harmony, is it a sodding breadbox?\\
'''Harmony:''' Yes! Oh, my God! Someone's Blondie Bear's a 20 Question genius!
* After Buffy barges into Spike's crypt:
-->'''Buffy:''' I've got a proposition for you.\\
'''Spike:''' Funny. I've got a proposition for you: What about knocking?
** [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Spike then gets distracted by the dollar bills Buffy starts counting.]]
** Then, he demands he get half of the money now. Buffy's response? [[ExactWords Tear the dollar bills in half, and give one half to Spike.]]
** Harmony emerges from hiding and asks "So, what'd she say about me?"
* There's something hilarious about Spike finding a penny, glaring at the doctor in full vamp face, and simply stating what's he holding before fleeing with Harmony.
* Spike's rant after he and Harmony flee from Buffy.
-->'''Spike:''' Buffy, Buffy, Buffy! Everywhere I turn, she's there! That nasty little face! That bouncing shampoo-commercial hair! That whole sodding [[HolierThanThou holier-than-thou]] attitude! She follows me, tracks me down! I'm her pet project! Drive Spike round the bend! Makes every day a fresh bout of torture!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E5NoPlaceLikeHome No Place Like Home]]" (5x05)]]
* Giles, when Buffy sees him in the Magic Box, is dressed [[{{Narm}} 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.
** Willow, upon seeing him, immediately pouts that he isn't wearing the hat and robe.
* When Buffy mentions that the security guard who went insane found the Dagon Sphere, Giles, Willow, and Anya back away from the sphere.
* When Buffy is meditating in her room.
-->'''Dawn:''' What are you doing?\\
'''Buffy:''' My boyfriend! Go away!
* Spike acting like a shy schoolboy talking to his crush after Buffy catches him outside her house.
** Followed by this:
--->'''Buffy:''' What are you doing here? ''[Spike starts to answer]'' Five words, or less.\\
'''Spike:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Out. For. A. Walk]]...[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Bitch.]]
*** For added humor, he's counting his words on his fingers- when he gets to four words, he adds "bitch" and puts his thumb up too, looking pleased with himself.
** And then there's this:
--->'''Spike:''' Contrary to one's self-involved worldview, your house happens to be directly between parts and... other parts of this town. I would pass by in the day, but I'm outgrowing my whole "burst into flame" phase.\\
'''Buffy:''' Fine. Keep going. I cut you a break.\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah, okay. Let me guess, you won't kill me? The whole crowd-pleasing threats and swagger routine. How original. I'm just passing through. Satisfied? I really hope so, 'cause God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard. And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair. ''[walks off]''
* When Buffy starts freeing the monk from his bonds, Glory tries sneaking up behind her... only for Buffy to stand up, grab her, and say she's not stupid. Glory then tosses Buffy across the room.
-->'''Glory:''' Sure about that last part?
* Giles, Xander, and Willow are tired after selling goods to customers. Anya? Not so much.
-->'''Anya:''' You're out of crystal balls. They're popular with the amateurs. Better re-stock and raise the price ten percent. Make it fifteen.\\
'''Giles:''' Anya...\\
'''Anya:''' Cash register looks like a squirrel's nest.\\
'''Giles:''' Anya...\\
'''Anya:''' The Hand of Glory packs serious power. Better institute a check for--\\
'''Giles:''' ''Anya''! ''[{{beat}}]'' Would you like a job?\\
'''Anya:''' Okay.\\
'''Giles:''' Good. Then we can talk shop tomorrow.\\
'''Anya:''' Okay. Boss.
* "Hey! Hands off my holy man!" Said by Glory after Buffy grabs the monk and makes an escape.
** Glory starts to pursue them... only for her heel to break. Cue Glory throwing a childish tantrum that ends up bringing down the factory.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E6Family Family]]" (5x06)]]
* Giles being "patriarchal," complete with "pointing and scowling" at Xander and Riley wrestling with each other.
-->'''Giles:''' You two, stop that! ''[cut to Riley with Xander in a headlock]''
-->'''Riley:''' He started it!
-->'''Xander:''' He called me a bad name! I think it was bad! It might have been in Latin!
* The way the show went all DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything regarding Willow and Tara's Wiccan magic got kind of silly after a while. But when the characters themselves started doing it? ''Hilarious!''
-->''[Talking about Tara's 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:''' [[NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat Which is cool!]]\\
'''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.
* The whole gang defends Tara when her father arrives to take her away.
-->'''Xander:''' You're dealing with all of us.\\
'''Spike:''' Except me.\\
'''Xander:''' Except Spike.\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah, I don't care what happens.
** Even funnier since it's Spike that ends up resolving the situation. Also kinda funny that his solution is to punch Tara in the face [[spoiler:(since it activates his chip, proving that Tara is human)]].
* Dawn running around the Bronze like some hyperactive kid that Buffy has to collar, then complaining about the stamp she has to wear, leads to her being told it's so she won't be drinking alcohol.
-->'''Dawn:''' Oh, please, only losers drink alcohol. ''[starts bouncing around to the music oblivious to everyone else looking guilty]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E7FoolForLove Fool for Love]]" (5x07)]]
* Many of the SmashCut[=s=] in the show are funny, but the one that sticks out is the one in this episode, when Spike described himself as "always been bad" before we see the nerdy William Pratt trying to write a poem for his beloved Cecily.
* Drusilla's odd reaction to Angel and Spike's quarrel.
-->'''Darla:''' ''[sing-song]'' [[GuyOnGuyIsHot 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.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E8Shadow Shadow]]" (5x08)]]
* Riley catches Spike in Buffy's bedroom [[PervertedSniffing sniffing her clothes]].
-->'''Riley:''' Were you just smelling her sweater?\\
'''Spike:''' [[BlatantLies No.]] ''[{{beat}}]'' Well, yeah, all right. I did. It's a predator thing. Nothin' wrong with it. Know your enemy's scent, whet the appetite for a hunt. ''[takes another sniff]'' That's the stuff. Slayer musk--it's bitter and aggravating. ''[growls]''
** Spike swiping a pair of Buffy's underwear as Riley hauls him out of the room.
* Spike's reaction after Riley grabs him and holds him out in the sun:
-->'''Spike:''' Bloody-- ''Pull me back in, you sod! I'm startin' to sizzle!''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E9ListeningToFear Listening to Fear]]" (5x09)]]
* This exchange while most of the Scoobies are researching the Queller:
-->'''Xander:''' Look at how teeny Mercury is compared to, like, Saturn. Whereas, in contrast, the cars of the same name--\\
'''Giles:''' Xander, please, we have work to do here.\\
'''Xander:''' I still don't get why we had to come here to get info about a killer snot monster.\\
'''Giles:''' Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. ''[{{beat}}]'' I did not say that.
* Spike trying to downplay being in Buffy's house in the middle of the night.
-->'''Buffy:''' Spike?\\
'''Spike:''' Uh, yeah. Listen, uh, did you hear a noise?\\
'''Buffy:''' What the hell are you doing in my house?\\
'''Spike:''' Right then, you caught me. Your basement's full of junk, and me being in need of, uh, junk--\\
'''Buffy:''' You were stealing?\\
'''Spike:''' Well, yeah, can't exactly work the counter at Burger Barn. ''[slips something into his pocket]''\\
'''Buffy:''' Wait, are those pictures of me?
* Spike screaming in fear after the Queller jumps on him.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E10IntoTheWoods Into the Woods]]" (5x10)]]
* The large banner celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, & Gurnenthar's Ascendance in the Magic Box.
** Don't forget the Winter Solstice.
* Giles cracking up laughing after Willow talks about painting the toenails of the chicken feet.
** It's especially funny because it [[ThrowItIn seems unscripted]]. It looks like Creator/AnthonyHead is trying to keep it together while Creator/AlysonHannigan says her line, and then he just loses it.
* Dawn is at Xander and Anya's place. She shares a story about how she when was younger, she would put chopsticks in her mouth and Buffy would chase her around the house yelling "I'm the Slayer, I will get you!" Anya's response is a deadpan, "That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and it will end up badly".
** This:
-->'''Dawn''': Alone time always translates into "let's get Dawn out so we can have loud, obnoxious sex".
-->'''Anya''': Oh...does that mean we can't?
* This line from Anya:
-->'''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."
** It's better in context; she's talking to a ''chicken foot'' as she imagines them making fun of her.
* Anya is disappointed that Xander takes Willow's side in an argument:
-->'''Anya''': Take her side instead of mine. Even though I'm the one who sleeps with you and feeds you and bathes you.
-->'''Willow''':...She bathes you?

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E11Triangle Triangle]]" (5x11)]]
* Xander and Anya are wondering how Buffy is dealing with Riley leaving. Cut to a convent.
* Anya insisting she can take care of things while Giles is out of town.
-->'''Giles:''' Yes, well, Anya, while I completely trust you to take care of the inventory and the money, dealing with people requires a certain finesse.\\
'''Anya:''' I have finesse! I have it coming out of my bottom! I can completely lie to the health inspector. I can distract him with coy smiles and bribe him with money and goods.\\
'''Xander:''' See there? She'll be great.
* This exchange:
-->'''Buffy:''' I killed something in a convent last night.\\
'''Xander:''' In any other room, a frightening declaration. Here, a welcome distraction. Tell us all about the killing, Buff.\\
'''Buffy:''' Pretty standard. Vampire staking. But I met a nun, and she let me try on her wimple.\\
'''Xander:''' Okay, now we're back to frightening.
* Spike rehearsing speaking to Buffy in his crypt, using the Buffy mannequin.
-->'''Spike:''' There's somethin' I got to tell you about showing you Riley in that place. I didn't mean to-- Anyway, I know you're feeling all betrayed. By him, not me. I was trying to help, you know. Not like I made him be there, after all. Actually trying to help you. Best intentions. I mean, pretty state you'd be in, thinkin' things were all right while he's toddlin' halfway 'round the bend. Oh, I'll insult him if I want to! I'm the one who's on your side. Me. Doin' you a favor, and you bein' dead petty about it! Me, gettin' nothin' but your hatred and your venom and-- ''[[SuddenlyShouting YOU UNGRATEFUL BITCH]]''! ''[[[FreakOut starts hitting the mannequin with the box of chocolates]]]'' UNGRATEFUL BITCH! ''[stops, calms down, sets the mannequin back up, smooths out the chocolates, and starts again]'' Buffy, there's somethin' I wanted to tell you...
* Buffy breaking down in Tara's arms and ranting about how Xander and Anya "have a miraculous love."
* Willow's annoyance with Anya not knowing how to drive while they're out pursuing Olaf. Anya's justification for not saying was that she had to try it first to see if she was any good at it.
* When Olaf shows up:
-->'''Xander:''' I'm gonna run get Buffy. Or maybe you could fight him.\\
'''Spike:''' I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.
** This exchange after Olaf asks Spike where there are babies to eat:
--->'''Spike:''' ''[to Xander, in total seriousness]'' What do you think? The hospital?\\
'''Xander:''' What? Shut up!
** "They've got this onion thing..."
* Buffy entering immediately after Willow wishes she were there. Willow then wishes for a million dollars. ("Just checking.")
* Spike once again asking like a shy, enamored schoolboy towards Buffy.
* Willow starts to recite the reversal spell, only for Olaf to tell her to stop.
-->'''Willow:''' Nobody lets me finish!
* Buffy catches Spike tending to an injured woman after Olaf leaves.
-->'''Buffy:''' What are you doing?\\
'''Spike:''' Makin' this woman more comfortable. I'm not samplin', I'll have you know. Just look at all the lovely blood-covered people. I could, but not a taste for Spike. Not a lick. I know you wouldn't like it.\\
'''Buffy:''' [[WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency You want credit for not feeding off bleeding disaster victims?]]\\
'''Spike:''' Well, yeah.\\
'''Buffy:''' You're disgusting. ''[leaves]''\\
'''Spike:''' What's it take?
* Buffy puts Olaf's hammer on the glass countertop... only for it to break the glass moments later. Oops.
* In the final scene, Giles shows just how thrilled he is with the state of the Magic Box while he was gone:
-->'''Giles:''' I cringe to think what the place would have looked like if I'd been away for longer.\\
'''Buffy:''' Maybe we would have had time to clean it up if Willow used some magics to help.\\
'''Giles:''' Yes, because nothing could possibly go wrong with that.
* Anya revealing to Xander that she and Willow have solved their differences because they both love him. She then adds that Willow doesn't love him in ''that'' way since "you know, she's gay", to which Willow pulls the best face.
* Anya looks so {{Adorkable}} as she says that the spell sent Olaf to the land of trolls.
-->'''Anya:''' He'll like it there. [[ShapedLikeItself Full of trolls]].
** She also mentions a world without shrimp, to which Tara gets excited, because she's allergic. It almost looks like she's considering traveling to another dimension just because a food she's allergic to doesn't exist there.
** This gets a BrickJoke in ''{{Series/Angel}}'' where Illyria mentions a world where there is nothing ''but'' shrimp. She "tired of that one quickly."

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E12Checkpoint Checkpoint]]" (5x12)]]
* Xander's hideous British accent. One can only wonder what Creator/AnthonyHead's reaction was.
-->'Allo, Buffy. Here's what we know, pip pip.
* This after the Council closes the Magic Box early.
-->'''Giles:''' You all stand around and look somber.\\
''[They do just that]''\\
'''Giles:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Good job.]]
* Giles assures the council that Buffy has acquired a remarkable focus. Cut to her falling asleep in class. After getting humiliated by her professor, she takes her frustration out on a vamp:
-->'''Buffy''': Some of us are here to learn, professor! Maybe you'd like to teach your own class!
-->'''Vamp''': ''(confused)'' Who are you talking to?
* Buffy trying to back out of the door after entering the Magic Box and seeing the Council, only to get caught.
* Anya's interview with Phillip.
-->'''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?
* Willow's and Tara's interview with Nigel.
-->'''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. ''[puts her hand on Tara's leg]''\\
'''Nigel:''' ''[deadpan]'' I meant your relationship with the Slayer.
* Lydia interviews Spike in his crypt, while two other Watchers stand nearby, one holding a crucifix and the other aiming a crossbow at Spike.
** This exchange:
--->'''Spike:''' I pitch in when she pays me.\\
'''Lydia:''' She pays you? She gives you money?\\
'''Spike:''' Money, a nip of blood out of some stray victim, whatever.\\
'''Lydia:''' Blood?\\
'''Spike:''' Well, if they're gonna die anyway. Come to think of it, that's a bit scandalous, isn't it? I'm shocked. The girl's slipping.\\
'''Lydia:''' You've noticed a decline in her work?\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah. See, the poor little twig can't keep a man. Gets her all down. Few more disappointments, she'll be crying on my shoulder, mark my words.
** Lydia grinning like a giddy schoolgirl after admitting that she wrote her thesis on Spike.
* Buffy brings Joyce and Dawn over to Spike's to have him protect them:
-->'''Spike:''' And don't make a lot of noise. ''Series/{{Passions}}'' is coming on.\\
'''Joyce:''' ''Series/{{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.
** Made even funnier by Dawn's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe total look of exasperation]].
* Buffy calls for no interruptions from the Watchers as she [[CallingTheOldManOut calls them out]]. When Nigel tries, she just throws a sword that lands in the wall directly across his chest, [[{{Pun}} cutting]] him off.
** When she speaks up about the Scoobies, Lydia timidly raises her hand and says she doesn't want a sword thrown at her.
* During a reminder that the Scooby Gang is ''hardly'' a group of civilians:
-->'''Buffy:''' We're talking about two very powerful witches and a [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne thousand-year-old]] ex-demon.\\
'''[[TheDitz Anya]]:''' [[ObfuscatingStupidity Willow's a demon?!]]
** After having spent the entire episode trying to [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial trying to convince the Council she's not a demon]], no less.
* Giles [[CoughSnarkCough coughing]] "retroactive" after Buffy demands that the Council reinstate him as her Watcher at full salary.
* This exchange after Travers assents to Buffy's terms:
-->'''Travers:''' Rupert?\\
'''Giles:''' Quentin?\\
'''Travers:''' When we inventoried your shop, we found a bottle of single-malt scotch behind the incense holders--\\
'''Giles:''' It's not, you know, during working hours--\\
'''Travers:''' [[INeedAFreakingDrink I think I could use a glass.]]\\
'''Giles:''' Well, I suppose we could...

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E13BloodTies Blood Ties]]" (5x13)]]
* While sneaking out, Dawn runs into Spike outside.
-->'''Dawn:''' Jeez! Lurk much?\\
'''Spike:''' I wasn't lurkin'. I was standin' about. It's a whole different vibe.
** Their whole exchange:
--->'''Dawn:''' Are you giving Buffy a birthday present? Oh, my God. Weird. And chocolates? Lame. And the box is all bent. And, well, you know she'd never touch anything from you anyway.\\
'''Spike:''' ''[menacingly steps closer to Dawn]'' Shouldn't you be tucked away in your beddy-bye? All warm and safe where nothing can eat you?\\
'''Dawn:''' ''[unfazed]'' Is that supposed to scare me?\\
'''Spike:''' Little tremble wouldn't hurt. Sorry, it's just--\\
'''Dawn:''' Come on, I'm badder than you.\\
'''Spike:''' Are not!\\
'''Dawn:''' Am too. You're in the bushes hugging a bent box of chocolates, and I'm--\\
'''Spike:''' What? Sneaking out to braid hair and watch ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' with your mates?
* Dawn pesters Spike as he picks the lock on the Magic Box door.
-->'''Dawn:''' Do you know how to do that or not?\\
'''Spike:''' Give us a sec. I usually just burst through doors.
** After he succeeds:
--->'''Spike:''' That's right! ''[stands up and gives Dawn a hilariously smug expression]'' Who's bad now? ''[enters the shop]''
* This line while Dawn is reading Giles' notes about the Key:
-->'''Spike:''' Where did [Giles] learn to write so bloody small? From a fruit fly?
** And this line after Dawn finds a reference to the monks charged with protecting the Key:
--->'''Spike:''' Brown-robe types always protect something. It's the only way they can justify giving up girls.
* Spike finds Olaf's hammer, tries to lift it, and fails.
-->'''Spike:''' Didn't go with my stuff anyway.
* Buffy confronts Spike, who's sitting on a tomb painting his fingernails, and wastes no time in removing the top, sending Spike falling into the tomb.
-->'''Spike:''' Careful! These are wet.
** Spike's WhatTheHellHero at Buffy contains this funny line:
--->'''Spike:''' Maybe if ''you'' had been more honest with her, you wouldn't be trying to make yourself feel better with a round of Kick the Spike!
* Xander tells Giles that Dawn has a crush on him.
-->'''Xander:''' You know, she kinda has a crush on me.\\
'''Giles:''' Your point being?\\
'''Xander:''' Oh, nothing, no. Just sayin'. Powerful being, big-energy gal digging the Xan-man. Some guys are just cooler, you know?\\
''[Giles storms off in annoyance]''
* Willow and Tara using their teleportation spell on Glory:
-->'''Willow:''' A teleportation spell. We're still working on the kinks.\\
'''Buffy:''' Where'd you send her?!\\
'''Willow:''' That's one of the kinks.\\
''[Cut to Glory rematerializing high up in the air above Sunnydale]''\\
'''Glory:''' ''[realizing where she is]'' [[OhCrap Oh]] [[CurseCutShort shi--]]\\
''[Cue wide shot of Glory careening towards the ground]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E14Crush Crush]]" (5x14)]]
* Spike trying to cozy up to Buffy in the Bronze. He even ditches his trademark BadassLongcoat for a different style that doesn't fit him in the slightest.
* Spike swipes Xander's change to buy a drink from the bar.
** Xander confronting Spike:
--->'''Xander:''' The point is, I work hard for that money.\\
'''Spike:''' And you're saying I didn't?\\
'''Xander:''' You stole it.\\
'''Spike:''' And you're making it into very hard work.
* Harmony role-playing as Buffy with Spike, complete with BadBadActing.
* Spike's GhostStory that Buffy interrupts just as he's getting to the worst part. Dawn wants him to finish, Buffy, in full MamaBear mode, arches her eyebrows all, "Finish it, Spike, and I'll hurt you if I don't like it," and Spike's thinking, "BringMyBrownPants."
* Buffy's reaction to Dawn telling her that Spike is in love with her:
-->'''Buffy:''' Huh?
* Spike and Buffy on a "stakeout." He offers her a sip from his flask, then asking her if she likes Music/TheRamones after singing a lyric or two from "I Wanna Be Sedated."
** When Spike presents her with the flask:
--> '''Buffy:''' Ew.\\
'''Spike:''' It's not blood; it's bourbon.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[with intentional emphasis]'' Eeeeew.
* Buffy confronting Spike about the fake stakeout:
-->'''Buffy:''' What is this? The late-night stakeout? The bogus suspects? The flask? ''[{{beat}}]'' Is this a date?\\
'''Spike:''' A d--? Please! A ''date''? You are completely off your bird! I mean-- Do you want it to be?
** And this:
--->'''Buffy:''' You're like a serial killer in prison!\\
'''Spike:''' Women marry 'em all the time!
* When Buffy reveals to Willow and Joyce that Spike is in love with her:
-->'''Joyce:''' Honey, did you... somehow, unintentionally, lead him on in any way? Uh, send him signals?\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[ponders]'' Well, I... I do beat him up a lot. For Spike, that's like third base.
* Harmony interrupting Spike and Drusilla's reunion.
-->'''Harmony:''' What the heck is this?\\
'''Spike:''' Oh, bloody hell.
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Harmony then suspects Spike wants to have a threesome]]:
--->'''Harmony:''' Oh, wait. I get it. Our little sex game was just the beginning. Now you pick up some cheap queen of the damned to dress as your precious Droodzilla.\\
'''Spike:''' Harm--\\
'''Harmony:''' You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking. My answer is the same as always: No threesomes unless it's boy, boy, girl. Or Creator/CharlizeTheron.\\
'''Spike:''' Harm, you moron, this is Drusilla.
** THEN Harmony confronts Drusilla about her dumping Spike and leaving him with "serious trust issues."
--->'''Harmony:''' Well. You've got some nerve showing up here like this, after all this time, after breaking my sweet Boo-Boo's heart.\\
'''Drusilla:''' ''[to Spike, barely audible]'' "Boo-Boo?"
* A tied-up Drusilla laughing at Spike's declaration of love to Buffy.
-->'''Spike:''' I can do without the laugh track, Dru.
* Spike's enraged rant after Buffy rejects him:
-->'''Spike:''' WHAT... THE ''BLEEDING HELL''...IS WRONG... WITH YOU ''BLOODY WOMEN''?! What the hell does it take?! Why do you bitches torture me?!\\
'''Buffy:''' Which question shall I answer first?\\
'''Spike:''' ''[exasperated]'' I'm at the end of my bleeding tether. I don't even know why I even bother. ''[to Drusilla]'' It's your fault. You're the one to blame for all this.\\
'''Drusilla:''' Am I?\\
'''Spike:''' Bloody right you are! If you hadn't left me for that Chaos Demon, I never would have come back here! Never would have had a sodding chip in my skull! ''[to Buffy]'' And you wouldn't be able to touch me. Because this, with you, is wrong. I know it. I'm not a complete idiot. You think I like having you in here? Destroying everything that was me, until all that's left is you, in a dead shell. You say you hate it, but you won't leave. You know, what I should just do is get rid of both of you. Burn you. Cut you into little pieces, so there won't be any more bints to cock up things for Spi--
** He's then interrupted by getting shot in the back by Harmony.
--->'''Spike:''' Oh, great.\\
'''Harmony:''' What about me, Spike? You forget about me again? The actual girlfriend? I gave you the best bunch of months of my life!\\
'''Drusilla:''' That's right, little girl. Teach our naughty boy a lesson.\\
'''Spike:''' Oh, so now you're all ganging up?
* Harmony breaking up with Spike.
-->'''Harmony:''' Oh, Spikey. And you can say goodbye to this. ''[points to her body]'' Because you're not gonna see it anymore. Unless you run into me somewhere and it's me walking away from you. But even then, I'll probably just, you know, back away. ''[backs away as she leaves]''
* Buffy punching Spike, sending him crashing into his shrine of her.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E15IWasMadeToLoveYou I Was Made to Love You]]" (5x15)]]
* Buffy [[GroinAttack kicks Puffy Xander in the groin]] while training.
-->'''Buffy:''' I'm sorry. I guess I got carried away. Are you okay?\\
'''Xander:''' I'm alive. I can tell 'cause of the pain.
* Spike tries to hook up with April at the Spring Break party. He ends up [[DestinationDefenestration getting his ass thrown out a window]] for his trouble.
-->'''Spike:''' Bloody hell! You threw me through a window! What's that about?\\
'''April:''' You cannot say that to me. I have a boyfriend. Warren is my boyfriend.\\
'''Spike:''' You know what? My bleeding sympathies to Warren. ''[walks off]''
* The DescriptionCut from Tara saying Giles and Dawn probably had a blast to Giles complaining to Buffy about babysitting Dawn.
-->'''Giles:''' Dear God, there's only so much I can take. We'll have to change the system. A fourteen year old's too old to be baby-sat, and it's not fair on her.\\
'''Buffy:''' What'd she make you do?\\
'''Giles:''' We listened to aggressively cheerful music by people chosen for their ability to dance, we ate cookie dough and talked about boys.
** Followed by this:
--->'''Buffy:''' We're gonna work on it tomorrow. Unless you wanna stay and...\\
'''Joyce:''' ''[arriving home]'' Who wants to hear everything?\\
'''Buffy:''' ...listen to my mom talk about boys.\\
'''Giles:''' Must go. See you tomorrow. Bye, Joyce. ''[[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaves]]]''
* Joyce's final scene is quite possibly the most laugh-out-loud funny moment in the series, which makes it extremely bittersweet.
--> '''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:''' [[LastWords On the dessert cart!]]\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[faintly, off-screen]'' I can't hear you!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E16TheBody The Body]]" (5x16)]]
* This episode is one long TearJerker, 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.
-->'''Tara:''' Did I miss something?\\
'''Anya:''' Xander decided that he blames the wall.
* When Buffy, Giles, and Dawn arrive, everyone starts hugging. Anya gives Giles a massive glomp, which he clearly wasn't expecting.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E18Intervention Intervention]]" (5x18)]]
* Buffy goes on a VisionQuest. Seems like an odd time for a joke, eh?
-->'''Buffy:''' So, how's it start?\\
'''Giles:''' I, uh, jump out of the circle, and then I jump back in it, and then I, um... shake my [magic] gourd.\\
'''Buffy:''' I know this ritual! The ancient shamans were then called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and turn themselves around!\\
'''Giles:''' ''[as [[GentlemanSnarker dryly British]] as he has ever been]'' Go quest.
** After he does the ritual:
--->'''Buffy:''' And that's what it's all about.
* The script gets one for Xander's and Anya's reactions to Spike and the bot.
-->''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.''
* Anya and the Buffybot's first meting: the Buffybot's conversation starter is something that anyone else would find suspicious, but that Anya finds touching.
--> '''Buffybot''': Anya. [[MoneyFetish How is your money]]?
--> '''Anya''' ''(beaming)'': Fine. Thank you for asking.
* "Oh, Spike. You're the [[DoubleEntendre Big Bad]]. You're the BigBad."
* 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...
-->'''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 having seen the Buffybot with Spike, the Scooby Gang confronts the real Buffy with what they believe to be the truth, and HilarityEnsues.
-->'''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:''' ''[jaw-drop]'' 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 [[StupidSexyFlanders 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!
** ''Xander'' struggles not to laugh at the accusation.
* Or, after the mystery of the Buffybot has been revealed.
-->'''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.
** We actually get to see the visual, which is about what we'd expect of [[SexIsCool Faith]].
* Spike apparently couldn't help but have Warren program in this little jab towards his rival:
-->'''Buffybot:''' ''[nodding thoughtfully]'' Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up and he's bloody stupid.
* The Buffybot's combination of LiteralMinded and constantly being distracted by her attraction to Spike is a treasure trove for humour:
-->'''Buffy:''' Listen, Skirt Girl, we're not going to save him, we're going to kill him. He knows who the key is, and there's no way he's not telling Glory.\\
'''Buffybot:''' You're right, he's evil. But you should see him naked... I mean, really.
* Glory's minions' reaction to Spike "revealing" the Key as "That guy on TV. On that show, the price show where they guess what stuff costs."
-->'''Murk:''' ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''?\\
'''Jinx:''' Bob Barker?\\
'''Murk:''' We will bring you Bob Barker! We will bring you the limp and beaten body of Bob Barker!\\
'''Glory:''' ''[{{facepalm}}s]'' [[SurroundedByIdiots It is NOT Bob Barker, you scabby morons!]]
* Buffybot pronouncing Giles's name as "Guy-iles." And Buffy accidentally calls Giles that, earning herself a glance from her Watcher.
* When Spike declares Buffy is going to kick her "lopsided ass," Glory takes a moment to glance at her backside.
* Buffy's imitation of the Buffybot:
-->'''Buffy:''' Spike, you're covered in sexy wounds!\\
'''Spike:''' Yeah... I feel real sexy. Where you been?\\
'''Buffy:''' I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E19ToughLove Tough Love]]" (5x19)]]
* After Willow claims that she doesn't know if she could sleep without Tara.
-->'''Anya:''' You can sleep with me! ''[pause]'' That sounded a lot less lesbian in my head.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E20Spiral Spiral]]" (5x20)]]
* Anya's suggestion on how to deal with Glory:
-->'''Anya:''' Drop a piano on her. It always works for that [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny creepy cartoon rabbit]] when he's running from [[WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd that nice hunter with the speech impediment]].
** Funny thing is that Xander seems to have this [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes style of attack]] in mind when he makes his contribution to the big fight two episodes later.
* Spike's response to Giles demanding what he's doing in the driver's seat of the Winnebago.
-->'''Spike:''' Just out for a jaunt. Thought I'd swing by and say "howdy."
* In another brilliant example of TemptingFate, Dawn tells Buffy to look on the bright side - at least things can't get any crazier. And then a spear pierces the side of the Winnebago. Buffy tells Dawn that this is her fault for saying that.
** Buffy's reaction to seeing the Knights of Byzanthium attacking isn't of fear or awe, but a weary "Just another day being the Slayer I guess".
* This conversation between Spike and Giles while driving the Winnebago.
-->'''Spike:''' Step on it, gramps!\\
'''Giles:''' Step on ''what''? I've driven tricycles with more power than this!
* Spike's reaction after one of the Knights of Byzantium fires an arrow into the Winnebago.
-->'''Spike:''' BLOODY HELL!
* This:
-->'''Giles:''' Weapons?\\
'''Spike:''' Hello! You're driving one!
* And also:
-->'''Willow:''' Don't hit the horsies!\\
'''Buffy:''' We won't! ''[to Giles]'' Aim for the horsies.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E21WeightOfTheWorld Weight of the World]]" (5x21)]]
* Spike's frustration with the rest of the Scoobies when they don't remember that Glory and Ben are one in the same.
-->'''Spike:''' Ben came, turned into Glory, snatched the kid, and vanished, remember? You do remember? ''[{{beat}}]'' Is everyone here very stoned? Ben! Glory! He's a doctor; she's the Beast! Two entirely separate entities sharing one body. It's like a bloody sitcom!
** And just when it seems like the gang finally gets it, they don't, and Spike can only sigh in frustration. It's tough being the OnlySaneMan.
* Spike meets up with Xander and Giles at the hospital and apprises them of his mission to Glory's apartment. As he does, he lights a cigarette and takes a smoke. [[CantYouReadTheSign All the while there's a "No Smoking" sign on the wall behind him.]]
* Spike [[DopeSlap dope-slapping Xander]] when he, having still not quite figured out that Ben and Glory are one in the same, asks if Ben is subletting from Glory. True, doing so causes his chip to go off, but like the man said, it was worth it.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E22TheGift The Gift]]" (5x22)]]
* Anya starts giving the gang a pep talk, suggesting they come up with something "outside the box". Giles begins to rant that Anya isn't helping apart from her "noninfectious enthusiasm", only for her to interrupt him with a [[GeniusDitz genuinely helpful idea]]. He almost looks annoyed that his rant was cut short.
** What makes it better is that Anya's suggestions are the only things that actually help in the battle (using the Dagon sphere to MindRape Glory and hitting her with Olaf's hammer).
** Before she gives useful suggestions, one idea is for Willow to turn Glory [[BewitchedAmphibians into a toad]].
--->'''Anya:''' You know, a little hoppy toad, and we hit her with a hammer.
** At the end of this, Xander and Willow give us a gem.
--->'''Xander:''' Smart chicks are so hot.
--->'''Willow:''' [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend You couldn't have figured that out in tenth grade?]]
*** What makes this RefugeInAudacity is that Willow's current partner is sitting in the corner and too {{Mind Rape}}d to understand.
* After [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove Buffy tells everyone present that she loves them]]:
-->'''Spike:''' When you say you love us all--\\
'''Xander and Giles:''' Shut up.
* When Buffy goes to lift Olaf's hammer, Spike starts to caution her, only for Buffy to lift it without any problems.
* This exchange:
-->'''Xander:''' I happen to be--\\
'''Spike:''' A glorified bricklayer?\\
'''Xander:''' I'm also a swell bowler.\\
'''Anya:''' Has his own shoes.\\
'''Spike:''' The gods themselves do tremble.
* Buffy puts the grand plan into motion to stop Glory, and in lieu of her usual pep talk, we get this:
-->'''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 [[Theatre/HenryV the St. Crispin's Day speech]], was it?\\
'''Giles:''' ''[wryly]'' "We few, we happy few..."\\
'''Spike:''' We band of buggered.
** Especially amusing when you get to Season 7 and it's a RunningGag that Buffy is constantly giving the Potentials {{Rousing Speech}}es. BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.
* After the gang arrives outside Glory's tower and Giles asks her if she needs anything, Willow replies she could use some courage. Spike immediately hands her his flask, which she declines.
* Early in the final battle, it turns out that Glory's been fighting the Buffybot.
-->'''Glory:''' The Slayer's a robot! Did everybody else know that the Slayer was a robot?
** Cue the real Buffy standing behind Glory, armed with Olaf's hammer.
--->'''Buffy:''' Glory? ''[hits Glory with the hammer]'' [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu You're not the brightest god in the heavens.]]
* Xander takes Anya's previous advice on how to fight Glory... by hitting her with a wrecking ball. Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
-->'''Xander:''' And the [[CallBack glorified bricklayer]] picks up a spare!
** The dialogue between Glory and Buffy immediately preceding the above.
--->'''Glory:''' You dropped your hammer, sweet-cheeks. [[TemptingFate What are you gonna hit me with now?]]\\
'''''[[DynamicEntry THUMP]]'''''\\
'''Buffy:''' [[BondOneLiner Whatever's handy]].
* When Buffy gets to the top of the tower to save Dawn, Doc turns and remarks "[[BringIt This is going to be interesting]]"...only for Buffy to [[CurbStompBattle simply shove him out the way]], sending him [[DisneyVillainDeath falling to his death]].
* There's also Anya's enthusiastic way of running into the battle, eager to clear away the enemies with a baseball bat.
** And they put it into the opening credits to allow us to enjoy it every episode.
* Glory attempting to invoke SympathyForTheDevil.
-->'''Glory:''' You'll never understand my pain.
-->'''Buffy:''' You're right. I'll just settle for ''causing'' it. ''[whacks Glory with the hammer again]''

[[AC:Bargaining ([[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E1BargainingPart1 6x01]][=/=][[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E2BargainingPart2 02]])]]
* This exchange in the teaser after a vampire they're hunting gets away:
-->'''Tara:''' I thought the big ones were supposed to tire more easily.\\
'''Spike:''' ''[glancing at a tired Giles]'' No, that's over-the-hill shopkeepers.\\
'''Giles:''' I'm fine. I just need to-to die for a minute.
** Spike ribbing Giles after saving him from the same vamp.
--->'''Spike:''' Did your whole life flash before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea?
* Giles and Anya playing tug-o-war with a statue from Giles' private collection, leading to this response from Xander:
-->'''Xander:''' Okay, when ''I'm'' marveling at the immaturity, be scared.
** Giles's "you should listen to him" look after Xander tells Anya to be nice to Giles unless she wants to work at Video Hut.
* The Buffybot attending Dawn's PTA meeting. Every mundane, monotonous thing it says is accepted by the adults, who fail to see anything amiss.
* This:
-->'''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.
* The rest of the gang catch up to Giles at the airport before he leaves for England. Giles explains he didn't want to make a scene, to which Willow says "As if we'd make a scene" as she whips out an elaborately-decorated placard.
* Xander freaking out over the orb of light that Tara sends to help him and Willow make their way to the Magic Box.
* Xander exchanging barbs with Razor:
-->'''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.
** Also part of the exchange:
-->'''Razor:''' Pretty big ax you got there.\\
'''Xander:''' All the better to cut you down to size, Grandma.
** Xander taking a moment to ask Willow and Tara if male witches are called "warlocks," which they confirm.[[note]]No, they're not. "Warlock" is an old Scottish word meaning "traitor". Male witches are just called witches.[[/note]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E3AfterLife After Life]]" (6x03)]]
* When a newly-resurrected and out-of-it Buffy retires early, Willow tries to pass it off as normal.
-->'''Willow:''' Well, she, she's fine! Normal! She used to go to bed all the time!
** This prompts a "WTF" expression from Tara. Yeah, not even ''Willow's girlfriend'' is buying her excuse.
* Anya worries that she looked bad while possessed by the demon they brought back.
-->'''Willow:''' [[SarcasmMode No, I'm sure you looked very glamorous cutting your face up]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E4Flooded Flooded]]" (6X04)]]
* Buffy delivers a PreAssKickingOneLiner to the demon robbing the bank, only to discover that her skirt prevents her from kicking him.
* Dawn insists that she's old enough to look through the books on demons.
-->'''Dawn:''' That's a strange place for a horn..." ''[{{Beat}}, beat, Tara grins as Dawn gets it]'' ...it's not a horn.
** [[CovertPervert She then opens the book again for another peek]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E5LifeSerial Life Serial]]" (6x05)]]
* The PeggySue RunningGag.
-->'''Buffy:''' And then I'm going to marry Bob Dole and raise penguins in Guam.
* The repeated failure at fetching a mummy hand from storage. The first time Buffy skewered it on a dagger:
-->'''Buffy:''' Oh, it's just playing dead. ''[slaps mummy hand]'' Little scamp!
** Second time around, she attempts to apprehend the hand with a pair of barbeque tongs:
--->'''Customer:''' ''[stares into package]''\\
'''Buffy:''' ...fingers sold separately.
** If this put you in mind of [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus a Norwegian Blue pining for the fjords]], then Creator/JossWhedon is one step ahead of you, because a few loops later, this happens:
--->'''Warren:''' This mummy hand has ceased to be!\\
'''Andrew:''' It is an ''ex''-mummy hand!
** Eventually, she just sits there while the mummy hand plays with the tongs.
** Also part of the loop is helping a customer with buying a scented candle (one of the choices is "[[{{Squick}} essence of slug]]"). Once Buffy is just fed up with the scenario, she gives this advice:
--->'''Buffy:''' You like slug?! Go with slug! It's not like she's going to sleep with you, anyway!
** Buffy eventually gives up and just stands there crying, all the while Giles and Anya look on in confusion.
* "'''[[ThatCameOutWrong Stop touching my magic bone]]!!'''"
** Which leads to the hysterical "Jonathan, grab your magic bone!"
* Buffy drinking alcohol and shuddering with disgust. Again. And again. What really makes it is eventually you don't even see Buffy taking the drink, you just hear "BLEH!" every minute or so.
* Buffy snarking during the demon poker game.
-->'''Spike:''' Somebody's gotta stake me.\\
'''Buffy:''' I'll do it!
* Warren, Andrew, and Jonathan fighting over who's the best Film/JamesBond. It starts as an offhand comment by Warren and escalates into all-out war.
-->'''Warren:''' Connery is Bond. He had style.\\
'''Jonathan:''' But Creator/RogerMoore was funny.\\
'''Warren:''' ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''?! The gondola turns into a hovercraft? Retarded! And the guy had, like, no edge.\\
'''Andrew:''' Dalton had edge. In ''Film/LicenceToKill'', he was a rogue agent. That's edgy. And he was amazing in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights''.\\
'''Jonathan:''' Which was written for Roger Moore, not Creator/TimothyDalton.\\
'''Warren:''' This is stupid. We're wasting time. End of discussion! ''[{{beat}}]'' There was a shot of, like, pigeons doing doubletakes when that gondola blasted by! ''Moonraker'' is inexcusable!
** Eventually, it culminates in this priceless line:
--->'''Andrew:''' Timothy Dalton should win an Oscar and '''BEAT [[Creator/SeanConnery SEAN CONNERY]] OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!!!'''
* This is one of only two (the other being the more serious "Sleeper") to be written as a collaboration between the show's funniest writers, David Fury AND Creator/JaneEspenson. That should explain why this episode has so many classic moments.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E6AllTheWay All the Way]]" (6x06)]]
* Willow is grumbling about the WickedWitch stereotype...and then is [[NotSoAboveItAll immediately moved by the]] [[CutenessProximity cuteness of a little girl dressed as one]].
* Anya's Halloween costume.
-->'''Anya:''' ''[dressed up in a ''Series/CharliesAngels'' 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.
* Xander is dressed as a pirate, and Anya innocently tells Dawn that later he's going to teach her a game called "Shiver Me Timbers"...[[NotInFrontOfTheKid only for Tara to whisk Dawn away before she can hear any more]].
-->'''Anya:''' [[CovertPervert Have you ever played?]]
-->'''Tara:''' I'm not one for the timber.
* "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.
** When watching Anya and Dawn do the money dance, Xander says "I'm going to marry that girl". Buffy's response? "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint She's fifteen, and my sister!"]]
* Xander's "vigorous use of his tongue" leads to this exchange between Buffy and Giles:
-->'''Buffy:''' Is that why you're always cleaning your glasses? So you can't see what we're doing?\\
'''Giles:''' Tell no one.
* While making his way through a cemetery, Giles remarks how ominous the mist and fog looks, then trips and falls.
* Buffy's busting of Dawn, where she turns into her mother.
-->'''Buffy:''' Were you parking?! With a vamp?
-->'''Dawn:''' I-I didn't know he was dead!
-->'''Justin:''' [[InsistentTerminology Living dead]].
-->'''Dawn:''' Shut up!
-->'''Buffy:''' How could you not know?
-->'''Dawn:''' [[DiggingYourselfDeeper I just met him!]]
-->'''Buffy:''' Oh! Oh, so you were parking in the woods with a boy you just met.
-->'''Justin:''' We've seen each other at parties.
-->'''Buffy:''' Shut up. ''[to Dawn]'' I don't believe you!
-->''[Spike looks around with a frown]''
-->'''Dawn:''' Oh, like you've never fallen for a vampire?
-->'''Buffy:''' That was different.
-->'''Dawn:''' It always is when it's you.
-->'''Vamp 1:''' Uh, excuse me! Can we fight now?
** At one point we cut to Giles, who has a hilarious "What the hell am I even doing here?" look on his face.
* Before the fight at the MakeOutPoint:
-->'''Buffy:''' Didn't anyone come here just to make out?
-->''[One couple raises their hands]''
-->'''Buffy:''' Awww... that's sweet. You run.
-->''[The couple does so]''
-->'''Buffy:''' ''[to vamps]'' You scream.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E7OnceMoreWithFeeling Once More, with Feeling]]" (6x07)]]
* [[MusicalEpisode "They got... the mustard... OOOUUUT!!!!"]]
** For some perspective, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCO0J1N661U 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 most people is the deadpanned line immediately following:
--->'''Buffy:''' It's not just us.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9N482Ffl3w Here's]] Creator/AlysonHannigan lip-synching to it in the hammiest way possible.
* From "Going Through The Motions":
-->'''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 y--\\
'''Buffy:''' Whatever.
** When Buffy starts singing it comes out of nowhere and is confusing. Then a group of ''vampires'' dance into view as backup singers and it becomes ''hilarious''.
* From "I've Got a Theory":
-->'''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?![[note]]A reference to an urban myth that carrots improve eyesight, concocted during UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo to explain how British fighter pilots were consistently intercepting German bombers, which was in fact due to their new secret invention, radar.[[/note]] BUNNIES!! BUNNIES!!! IT MUST BE BU-UN-NAAAAAYS!!!!!\\
'''The Scoobies:''' [[{{Beat}} [Silence]]]\\
'''Anya:''' ...or maybe midgets.
** Also great is when Anya goes into her "bunny" solo the song shifts to a hard rock piece complete with a spotlight on her.
** At the start of "I've Got a Theory" when Willow thinks they're in a Broadway production, Tara starts doing jazz hands without her face changing or the rest of her body moving at all.
* And of course this bit...
-->'''Xander:''' It could be witches, some evil witches ''[sees [[ImStandingRightHere Willow and Tara glare at him]]]''... [[VerbalBackspace which is ridiculous]], 'cause witches, they were persecuted, Wicca good and love the Earth and women power and I'll be over here...
** Which is even funnier when you recall that [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E3TheWitch once]] or [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E16BewitchedBotheredAndBewildered twice]], it ''was'' witches. Albeit the second time it was witches, it was [[IdiotBall Xander's fault]]. [[spoiler: And it's Xander's fault this time too.]]
* The woman singing about getting a parking ticket.
-->'''Woman:''' Hey, I am not wearing underwear.
* This bit:
-->'''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, goes deadpan]'' [[SarcasmMode I gave birth to a pterodactyl]].\\
'''Anya:''' ''[[[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm not deadpan]]]'' [[TheDitz Oh my God]], [[ComicallyMissingThePoint did it sing?]]
* This exchange:
-->'''Willow:''' Those boys were totally checking you out.\\
'''Tara:''' They were? I'm cured! I want the boys!
* 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).
-->'''Giles:''' I was able to examine the body while the police were taking witness arias.
** What about this line?
--->'''Anya:''' It was like we were being watched. Like there was a wall missing from our apartment. Like there were only three walls, [[NoFourthWall and not a fourth one]].
* Lest we forget this gem while Giles and Buffy are training:
-->'''Buffy:''' I'm worried this is going to turn into a training montage from an 80s movie.\\
'''Giles:''' Well, if we hear any inspirational power chords, we'll just lie on the ground until they go away.
** It turns into a training montage from an 80s movie.
* Dawn's response to Sweet taking him back to the Underworld as his bride.
-->''Well, I mean / I'm fifteen / so this queen thing's illegal''
** A few lines later, Dawn manages to get this to fit the rhyme and meter:
-->''[[MamaBear She'll be pissed]] / [[DamselInDistress if I'm missed]] / see my sister's [[OneManArmy The Slayer...]]''
* Willow's line in "Walk Through the Fire".
-->'''Willow:''' I think this line's mostly filler.
* When Giles tells the others that Buffy has to face Sweet alone:
-->'''Spike:''' Don't be such a stupid git--\\
'''Giles:''' When I want your opinion, Spike, I'll... I'll never want your opinion.
* Buffy and Spike after the big group sing-a-long
-->'''Spike:''' Finish the big group sing, get your kumba-yayas out.
-->'''Buffy:''' I don't want to.
-->'''Spike:''' The day you suss out what you do want, there'll probably be a parade. Seventy-six bloody trombones.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E8TabulaRasa Tabula Rasa]]" (6x08)]]
* Giles's farewell speech to the Scoobies gets interrupted by Spike barging into the Magic Box, clad in a suit and earmuffs to disguise himself from Teeth.
-->'''Spike:''' You need to give me asylum!\\
'''Xander:''' I'll say.\\
'''Spike:''' No need to get cute. It's a disguise. Happens there's a bloke I'd rather not see just now. ''[to Buffy]'' You met him, I believe. Toothy bloke with the baby seal breath? Nasty fellow, him.
* Amnesiac-Xander freaking out:
-->'''Xander:''' Okay. I'm not panicking. I'm not. I'm not. ''[to everyone else]'' Stop looking at me like I'm panicking!
* The mutual discovery of an amnesiac Spike and Giles's nationality:
-->'''Spike:''' Oh, listen to Film/MaryPoppins. 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.
** Followed by both men coming to the conclusion that they're father and son:
--->'''Spike:''' You don't suppose you and I we're not related, are we?\\
'''Anya:''' There is a ruggedly handsome resemblance.\\
'''Giles:''' And you do inspire a particular feeling of familiarity and disappointment. ''[{{beat}}]'' Older brother?\\
'''Spike:''' ''[disdainfully]'' Father. Oh, God, how I must hate you.\\
'''Giles:''' What did I do?\\
'''Spike:''' There's always something. And what's with the trollop?\\
'''Giles:''' Her?\\
'''Spike:''' I saw you! Sleeping together.\\
'''Giles:''' Resting together.\\
'''Anya:''' Look! It's okay. We're engaged. It's a lovely ring.\\
'''Spike:''' Oh, great, a tarty stepmom who's half old Daddy's age.\\
'''Anya:''' Tarty?\\
'''Giles:''' Old? You little twerp, I'm young enough to still get carded!
* After Spike mockingly repeats Giles's first name:
-->'''Giles:''' You're not too old to put across my knee, you know, sonny.
** Spike then reads the name inside of his suit jacket:
--->'''Spike:''' "Randy Giles?!" Why not just call me "Horny Giles" or "Desperate-For-A-Shag Giles?!?!" I knew there was a reason I hated you!\\
'''Giles:''' Randy's a family name, undoubtedly.
* Willow and "Alex" (Xander) as a couple with Willow's attraction to Tara.
* Spike's line to Giles after seeing Buffy and Dawn's sisterly display:
-->'''Spike:''' You never showed me affection like that! I'd wager.
* This as the gang prepares to leave the Magic Box:
-->'''Spike:''' ''[lays his arm chummily on Giles's shoulders]'' Dad can drive. He's bound to have some classic midlife-crisis transport. Something red, shiny, shaped like a penis.
* The look of fright on '''all''' of their faces when they saw Teeth's vampire goons.
** It's so funny, it gets used in the Season 7 opening credits.
* When the vampires demand they send out Spike, Giles [[LiteralMinded reasons they want actual spikes]], and Spike goes and gets a bunch of wooden stakes, suggesting they give them to the vampires outside.
* This exchange after everyone mishears the vampires yell "Slayer!"
-->'''Buffy:''' Who do those jerks think they are?\\
'''Anya:''' [[MathematiciansAnswer Bloodsuckers. They kill by sucking blood.]] Take it easy, Joan.
* Xander's over-the-top reaction to the vampires breaking into the Magic Box as everyone tries to flee, followed by his getting on his knees and praying.
-->'''Xander:''' Now I'm not sure what I am so bear with me here. Now I lay me down to sleep, shabat Israel, om, om...
* After being backed against a display case by a vampire, Spike rather petulantly drops the wooden stakes at the vampire's feet.
-->'''Spike:''' Fine! Take your damn spikes!
* Joan, the Vampire Slayer.
-->'''Joan:''' Stay away from Randy! ''[stakes the vampire manhandling Spike]''
** Xander fainting after "Joan," fresh from dusting a vamp, remarks she must be some sort of superhero.
* Spike and Giles's awkward father/son hug before Spike leaves with Buffy to draw the vampires away from the shop.
* Anya attempts to counter the memory spell, and summons a horde of bunnies, a sinister green cloud, a ''sword-wielding skeleton'', and some kind of ferocious beast that we never even see.
** After Anya conjures the first bunny, she screams and grabs onto a perplexed Giles.
** After Anya conjures yet another bunny, Giles just puts his glasses back on and [[SarcasmMode says "Yes, dear."]]
** After Anya creates the green cloud:
--->'''Giles:''' Clearly, that is not a helpful book, darling. Come down, and we will go about fixing this in a sensible fashion!\\
'''Anya:''' ''[standing on the table]'' Sensible! You think it's sensible for me to go down into that pit of cotton-top hell and let them hippity-hop all over my vulnerable flesh? \\
'''Giles:''' Fine, then just stay up there and keep making bunnies! That's a capital plan!\\
'''Anya:''' [[LiteralMinded What capital?]] I never know what you're talking about. "Loo," "shag," "brolly"--what the hell is all that?\\
'''Giles:''' What? There's no way that you could remember me saying any of those words.\\
'''Anya:''' Oh, bugger off, you brolly.
** Giles fights the skeleton while demanding that Anya find another book.
--->'''Giles:''' Get a different book! Put that book down, do you hear?! Not that book!
** After Anya summons the unseen beast:
--->'''Giles:''' Look what you've done, you lunatic woman!\\
'''Anya:''' Don't blame me, you snobby, snotty, thinks-he's-so-great kind of jerk. And I feel compelled to take some vengeance on you. ''[hits Giles on the head with a book]''\\
'''Giles:''' Ow!! God, no wonder I'm leaving you!\\
'''Anya:''' What?!\\
'''Giles:''' Look! ''[shows her his plane ticket]'' One-way ticket to London, and out of this engagement!\\
'''Anya:''' Of all the nerve!\\
''[Giles makes a hilariously miffed face]''
* Spike learning that he's a vampire.
-->'''Buffy:''' You're a vampire!\\
'''Spike:''' How can you say-- I, me, a vampire? No.\\
'''Buffy:''' Check the lumpies. And the teeth. ''[Spikes checks himself]'' I kill your kind.\\
'''Spike:''' And I bite yours. So how come I don't wanna bite you? And why am I fighting other vampires? ''[{{beat}}]'' I must be a noble vampire. A good guy. On a mission of redemption. I help the hopeless. I'm a vampire with a soul.\\
'''Buffy:''' [[Series/{{Angel}} A vampire with a soul]]? Oh my God, how lame is that?
* Spike musing about his status as a good vampire, all the while Buffy stands there looking bored.
-->'''Spike:''' I'm a hero, really. I mean, to be cast such an ugly lot in life and then to rise above it. To seek out better, nobler things. It's inspirational, isn't it? And the two of us, natural enemies thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness. Utter trust. No thought of me biting you, no thought of you staking me.\\
'''Buffy:''' Depends on how long you keep on yapping.
* Buffy gets her memory restored... and promptly gets kicked in the face.
* Giles and Anya make up and kiss... moments before the amnesia spell gets broken. They're next seen pretending to clean up the Magic Box, separated by a display shelf.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E9Smashed Smashed]]" (6x09)]]
* Spike seeks out the Trio's help in finding out why his chip is malfunctioning, and [[InterrogationByVandalism he threatens to snap their limited edition]] [[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]] figurine in half if they don't help.
** The Trio then discuss what to do while [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Spike plays with the figurine in the background]].
* While waiting for Warren, Jonathan and Andrew try to make small talk with Spike.
-->'''Jonathan:''' You're English, right?\\
'''Spike:''' ''[looks at Jonathan, eyes narrowed suspiciously]'' Yeah.\\
'''Jonathan:''' I've seen every episode of ''Series/DoctorWho''. Not ''Series/RedDwarf'', though, 'cause, um...'cause it's not out yet on DVD.\\
'''Andrew:''' Right. It's not out yet on DVD.\\
'''Spike:''' ''[{{beat}}]'' [[SayMyName WARREN!]]
** Spike calling Warren "[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Spock]]" while asking him to explain the results.
* Spike attempting to call out Buffy over the phone.
-->'''Spike:''' ''[low, scary tone]'' Slayer.\\
'''Buffy:''' Spike?\\
'''Spike:''' Meet me at the cemetery.\\
'''Buffy:''' Spike?\\
'''Spike:''' Bloody hell. ''[normal tone]'' Yes, it's me!
** Followed by Spike making with the innuendo:
--->'''Spike:''' Thought you might be up for a little grunt work.\\
'''Buffy:''' What?! No. No grunting!\\
'''Spike:''' I was talking shop, luv, but if you got other ideas... you, me, cozy little tomb with a view--\\
''[Buffy hangs up]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E10Wrecked Wrecked]]" (6x10)]]
* Spike holding up Buffy's panties, and Buffy punching him before leaving.
* The Scoobies working their butts off to search for a frost demon that could've stolen from the museum, completely unaware that it was the Trio. It gets to the point where Anya is secretly reading a magazine because even ''she'' knows they're at a dead end.
* Dawn flipping quesadillas with her own hands.
-->'''Dawn:''' Ow, ow, ow.\\
'''Willow:''' Or you can do it the hard way.\\
'''Dawn:''' Spatulas are for wimps.\\

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E11Gone 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 [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale looks crotch-ward suddenly]] and says [[BlackComedyRape "That's cheatin'!"]]
** And before, when Xander walks in on them having sex, and Spike tells him he was exercising.
*** Then Spike simulates a push-up, and we can hear Buffy moan...
* Buffy hearing the message that her invisibility will kill her isn't so funny. The camera panning to her approximate position to simulate a ReactionShot, on the other hand...
* Buffy invisibly visiting Mrs. Kroger in her workplace, implying to the poor woman she's going mad.
* A fully choreographed, well thought-out fight scene... of four invisible people. It's pretty much just dubbing over a swerving camera with sound effects added in.
* Warren stumbling over how to pronounce the plural of "archnemesis."
* Warren's attempt to use a smoke bomb so he, Jonathan, and Andrew can make a getaway failing spectacularly; the smoke clears a bit to show the Trio at the door.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E12DoublemeatPalace Doublemeat Palace]]" (6x12)]]
* Halfrek's introductory scene is priceless. She threatens Xander's life and offers to dismember him in a horribly low and 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.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E13DeadThings Dead Things]]" (6x13)]]
* It comes right before some '''serious''' MoodWhiplash, but Katrina, after the effects of the [[MindControl Cerebral Dampener]] wear off, tossing Warren into the lair while Jonathan and Andrew are play-fighting with toy [[Franchise/StarWars lightsabers]] is absolutely hysterical.
* Spike's reaction after he overhears police officers mention how Katrina's body (which he dumped in the ocean to help Buffy) was found.
-->'''Spike:''' [[OhCrap Oh, balls!]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E14OlderAndFarAway Older and Far Away]]" (6x14)]]
* Willow gifts Buffy an electronic massage device for her birthday, noting that Buffy can now have some "[[DoubleEntendre instant gratification]]" after slaying. Buffy makes the mistake of looking at Spike while she says it, who simply raises an eyebrow suggestively in response.
* Tara asking Spike about the "cramp" in his pants.
** [[DeadpanSnarker Maybe he'd like to put some ice on it?]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E15AsYouWere As You Were]]" (6x15)]]
* Buffy's embarrassment when Riley finds her working at the Doublemeat Palace.
-->'''Riley:''' I've been up 48 hours straight tracking down something bad. Now it's come to Sunnydale.\\
'''Buffy:''' My hat has a cow...
* Buffy is walking home through a cemetary when a vampire jumps out to attack her. Not only does he let her put down her to-go bag before they fight, but when he has a clear shot at their throat, he recoils and says that she smells like the Doublemeat Palace, offers her his pity on the matter, and says that he'll be going since her odor is making him sick. Buffy replies with an indignant stake to the chest. As he is dusted, you can see him raising his arms in a "Oh come on!" gesture.
* Xander refers to [[BattleCouple Riley and Sam]] as "[[Film/TheThinMan Nick and Nora]] [[ComicBook/NickFury Fury]]."
* While Riley tries to reassure Buffy that he doesn't think any less of her despite her situation, and mentioning the fast food smell:
--> '''Buffy:''' ''[upset]'' You smelled the smell?\\
'''Riley:''' Buffy, none of that means anything. It doesn't touch you. You're still the first woman I ever loved... and the strongest woman I've ever known. And I'm not advertising this to the missus... but you're still quite the hottie.\\
'''Buffy:''' You know, it goes away after many bathings.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E17NormalAgain Normal Again]]" (6x17)]]
* This line from Willow:
-->'''Willow:''' Hello, Tara. Would you like to go out with me for coffee, food, kisses, and gay love?

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E18Entropy Entropy]]" (6x18)]]
* Buffy interrogating Spike about the camera she and Xander found outside her house.
-->'''Spike:''' ''[holding the camera]'' What's this?
-->'''Buffy:''' It's a camera.
-->'''Spike:''' Yeah, I got that part. Why am I holding it?
-->'''Buffy:''' Someone was using it to spy on me. On my house.
-->''[Spike frowns]''
-->'''Buffy:''' Xander thinks it's you.
-->'''Spike:''' Oh, the great Xander thinks so! Shudder, gasp! It must be true!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E19SeeingRed Seeing Red]]" (6x19)]]
* Dawn's [[{{Squee}} reaction]] to seeing Willow and Tara together is both SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} and hilarious.
* Buffy grimacing at the figurines of scantily-clad women in the Trio's hideout.
* After seeing her jacket got cut by Warren's booby trap, Buffy remarks that's going to cost him.
* After Warren escapes on a jetpack, Andrew gives Buffy a short but dramatic farewell speech and activates his own jetpack. He flies upward... only to end up banging his head and falling back down, out cold, with his jetpack still running.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E22Grave Grave]]" (6x22)]]
* Giles noticing Buffy's new haircut upon their reunion is incredibly sweet. Anya piping in that she's a blonde now before hugging him is both sweet and incredibly funny.
* Buffy's attempts 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..."And I've been sleeping with Spike." Giles stares at her solemnly for a long moment, then ''cracks up''.
* Another bit:
-->'''Giles:''' I can see...\\
'''Anya:''' It's a miracle!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:TV series: Season 7]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E1Lessons Lessons]]" (7x01)]]
* Buffy and Dawn are discussing after Dawn's training session:
-->'''Buffy:''' The next vampire you meet, you run away. I just wish that was all we had to worry about. Vampires, demons... They're nothing compared to what's coming.\\
'''Dawn:''' I know. I just can't believe it's back.\\
'''Buffy:''' Believe me, I thought I was long past it. I guess you never are. Just a few more days 'til it starts. Then we'll never know what's coming next.\\
''[Cut to the newly reconstructed Sunnydale High School]''
* One of the undead claims he wants Dawn to be his girlfriend, and Buffy points out that he's going after the wrong sister.
-->'''Spirit:''' I think I'd like Dawn to be my girlfriend.\\
'''Buffy:''' Again, wrong sister. ''I'm'' the one who dates dead guys. And no offense, but [[MrFanservice they were hotties]]. I mean, I'm sure you had a great personality, but--
* When Buffy meets Spike in the basement:
-->'''Spike:''' Buffy, duck.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[confused]'' What? Duck? There's a duck?\\
''[An undead hits Buffy in the head with a pipe]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E2BeneathYou Beneath You]]" (7x02)]]
* Nancy 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 TearJerker, except for one, very brief moment of lucidity.
-->'''Buffy:''' Spike, have you ''completely'' lost your mind?\\
'''Spike:''' Well, yes. Where have you been all night?

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E3SameTimeSamePlace Same Time, Same Place]]" (7x03)]]
* Anya and Willow's collaboration has this written all over it.
-->'''Willow:''' Something killed a poor boy down by the construction site. Took his skin right off.\\
'''Willow/Anya:''' ''[simultaneously]'' Was it you? No!\\
[...]\\
'''Anya:''' ''[after a conversation about the cost of killing/power]'' [[HiddenDepths I'm surprisingly sensitive.]]\\
'''Willow:''' So, will you help me?\\
'''Anya:''' ''[sighs]'' Is it difficult or time-consuming?
* Paralyzed-Dawn is a goldmine of comedy, especially considering how increasingly muffled Dawn's lines become as her face gets more and more frozen.
-->'''Dawn:''' Stop saying vomit!
** "...She's posable?"
** Creator/SarahMichelleGellar's facial expression on the last line is hilarious. She just scrunches her nose, as if this were an everyday problem.
--->'''Buffy:''' It says... the paralysis is permanent.\\
'''Dawn:''' ''[muffled]'' ''WHAT?''\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh. Permanent until the creature dies. Sorry.
** Buffy leaving the TV remote in posable Dawn's hand.
** And when Gnarl does die, we cut back to Dawn in the living room who promptly unparalyses and flops down on the couch.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E4Help Help]]" (7x04)]]
* On Buffy's first day as a high school counselor, Dawn shows up to complain about her ControlFreak sister who keeps stealing all her clothes.
* Buffy's history as a BullyHunter comes to a head with her guidance counselor job when Amanda asks her advice on a bully. You can just see the shock and her struggling not to laugh as she's told Amanda jumped him and smashed him into the pavement, she needs advice on if she should do it more.
* Buffy talks with Principal Wood (who's black) about some of the issues with her counseling job.
-->'''Wood:''' When I was in high school, I had a thing with this guy, right? Real bully. I kept telling everyone that he better sleep with one eye open cause I was gonna bust his ass. Well, I got suspended. Talk like that is taken pretty seriously where I come from.\\
'''Buffy:''' The hood?\\
'''Wood:''' Beverly Hills. Which is a hood, I guess.
* During Cassie's otherwise TearJerker of a speech, she says she wants to see her cousins grow up "because they're really mean and I think they're going to be fat." Even Buffy grins at this.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E5Selfless Selfless]]" (7x05)]]
* D'Hoffryn, upon seeing Anya's murdered frat boys:
-->'''D'Hoffryn:''' Oh, breathtaking! It's like someone slaughtered an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue.
* Anya's flashbacks to when she was human.
-->"It's a troll! Hide your babies and your beadwork!"\\
"The troll is doing an Olaf impersonation!"\\
"Hit him with fruits and various meats!"
* Then there was the "[[MusicalEpisode Once More]]" prequel song:
-->'''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?
* And Anya's song:
-->Mrs. Anya lame-ass-made-up-maiden-names Harris
* D'Hoffryn prepares to give a demonic BadassBoast...then sees it's Willow [[MoodWhiplash and compliments her on her hair]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E6Him Him]]" (7x06)]]
* Dawn's shambolic cheerleading tryout.
** It's even funnier if you know that Creator/MichelleTrachtenberg studied ballet.
* Buffy finds out that Dawn shredded her cheerleading outfit.
-->'''Dawn:''' I'll buy you another one.
-->'''Buffy:''' That's not the point. I don't want another cheerleader outfit.
-->'''Xander:''' Now, let's not be hasty here.
-->''Buffy gives him a "You're not helping" look''.
* Buffy, Willow, and Anya trying to win RJ's love. To sum up:
** Buffy attempts to kill Principal Wood. With the [[BrickJoke rocket launcher]].
*** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Not to mention the scene where she attempts it.]] Wood is listening to quiet jazz while marking papers. In the window behind him, we see Buffy appearing with the launcher and aiming it, 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 chases after him like something straight out of Looney Toons, exit stage right again. Wood remains ''completely oblivious the entire time''.
** Willow tries to [[GenderBender fix]] the problem with RJ'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.
--->'''Anya:''' Oh! I wrote... a poem. Comparing him to daisies and forests and diamonds, and that sort of thing.
* Buffy and Willow fighting over RJ.
-->'''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?
* Also:
-->'''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!
* Let's not forget the scene earlier in the Bronze:
-->''[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:''' ''[[[{{Pun}} 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.
** And then it turns out Dawn stole the slutty top from ''Buffy''.
** Xander's revulsion is even funnier if you've read the comics where he and Dawn become an OfficialCouple.
* Buffy breaks up a {{catfight}} between Dawn and Lori.
-->'''Buffy:''' You've done the lap dance and the catfight. You wanna get drunk and barf next?
** Lori stomps on Buffy's foot before storming off, leaving Buffy with the funniest stunned expression.
* Xander catches Buffy straddling RJ on a desk in an empty classroom, and RJ gets pissy over the interruption.
-->'''Xander:''' I'm sorry, it's just check-out time's at noon, and we were hoping to make up the bed. Also, it's a classroom, you chowder-head!
* Xander and Spike's plan to get rid of the magical jacket: Run up and clumsily tackle RJ, rip the jacket off of him, and run off down the street, leaving the boy and his date confused.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E7ConversationsWithDeadPeople Conversations with Dead People]]" (7x07)]]
* Andrew's mistranslation of the ArcWords, "From Beneath You, It Devours" (he'd just been in Mexico and heard it in Spanish):
-->'''Andrew:''' ''[somberly]'' It eats you, starting with your bottom.
** Well, everyone spoke Mexicoan!
* Also, the whole Buffy/Holden scenes can get pretty funny, especially the part were Buffy is lying down on a grave with Holden going all psychoanalystic on her.
-->'''Holden:''' Oh, my God! Or, well, not ''my'' God, because I defy him and all of his works.
* Dawn mucking around while home alone:
** "Anchovies! Anchovies! You're so delicious. I love you more than all the other fishies". This was actually put in by Creator/JaneEspenson to protest a pizza place that stopped serving anchovies.
** She gets a pizza stain on Buffy's top, then shrugs that she'll just assume it's blood.
*** Then in "First Date", while choosing an outfit to wear for her date with Wood, she comes across the top... and takes it for either blood or pizza.
** While playing with Buffy's crossbow, Dawn shoots an arrow into the wall and pulls a piece out. Then covers it up with a potted plant.

[[AC: "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E8Sleeper Sleeper]]" (7x08)]]
* Anya attempting (and failing) to seduce Spike, culminating in her literally throwing herself at him, then awkwardly peeling herself away when it becomes clear he's not interested.
-->'''Anya:''' ''[nervously]'' I'm here, obviously, for... um... ''[{{beat}}]'' Sex.\\
'''Spike:''' Uh... beg your pardon? \\
'''Anya:''' You and me... here and now. Let's go, let's ''[raises the stake in her hand]'' get it on, you big bad boy. \\
'''Spike:''' Wait, wait, Anya, just a minute! This is not exa-- ''[{{beat}}]'' Is that a stake? \\
'''Anya:''' Yes. Kinky.
** And this exchange:
--->'''Spike:''' Anya, it's not that I'm not tempted. Obviously, if things were different, you're a right catch.\\
'''Anya:''' I got it, no problem, I understand. ''[her tone turns accusatory]'' ...You think I'm fat.\\
'''Spike:''' What? \\
'''Anya:''' Either that or it's the haircut! \\
'''Spike:''' Ridiculous; the new 'do is quite fetching. \\
'''Anya:''' Oh, so now you like the hair? \\
'''Spike:''' Love it. \\
'''Anya:''' Sure, as a friend! \\
'''Spike:''' Anya. \\
'''Anya:''' You know, you were a lot more fun when you didn't have a soul. \\
'''Spike:''' Oh, come on now, I just explained to you-- \\
'''Anya:''' All I'm saying is Soulless Spike would have had me upside down and halfway to Happyland by now!
* Spike and the vampire duking it out on the catwalk at the Bronze while Aimee Mann plays. He eventually stakes her and sends her into the pit below, where she dusts. TheMasquerade is beginning to fade apparently, as everyone, from the crowd to Mann and her band, stop what they're doing, stare... and then Mann picks up right where she left off like the vamp dusting was a completely normal experience.
** And as Mann reveals later, this isn't the first time she's seen it: "Man, I hate playing vampire towns."

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E9NeverLeaveMe Never Leave Me]]" (7x09)]]
* Andrew failing to kill a pig.
** To expand on this, the First, in Warren's form, is coaching him through it, and is actually astounded regarding how amazingly bad he is at killing a piglet.
--->'''First-Warren:''' That's the worst attempt of a pig slaughter I have ever seen.
*** To reiterate, this is the First talking. The embodiment of evil itself, which has existed since time immemorial and lives in the hearts of every single human being. And it claims that [[EpicFail Andrew's attempt at pig slaughter is]] ''[[BeyondTheImpossible the worst it's ever seen.]]''
* Willow captures Andrew:
-->'''Willow:''' Shut your mouth! I am a she-witch. A very powerful she-witch...or witch as is more accurate. I am Willow. I am Death. If you dare defy me, I will call down my fury, exact fresh vengeance, and make your worst fears come true. Okay?
* Xander and Anya interrogate Andrew via GoodCopBadCop.
** They make so much noise that Buffy, who's in the middle of quizzing Spike, goes in to check on them. She walks in to find Anya straddling Andrew while hitting him. She nonchalantly asks if everything's okay, Anya replies yes, Buffy just says okay then leaves.
* During the fight in the house, [[GrievousHarmWithABody Buffy uses Andrew as a weight to knock the Bringers out of her way]].
* The First, in Buffy's form, noting that it had originally planned to use Andrew to open the seal but that [[MrFanservice Spike]] [[EatingTheEyeCandy looks better with his shirt off]].

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E10BringOnTheNight Bring on the Night]]" (7x10)]]
* Giles makes his return.
-->'''Giles:''' We're having a slight... apocalypse.
* Kennedy meets Willow.
-->'''Willow:''' You wanna organize the sleeping arrangements?\\
'''Kennedy:''' Okay. [[LesYay You better not hog the covers.]]

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E12Potential Potential]]" (7x12)]]
* [[SuggestiveCollision Buffy mounts Spike]] to demonstrate to the Potentials how to dust a vampire, but as he's still healing from the wounds given to him by the Ubervamp, he flinches. Buffy tries to lift his shirt to check the damage, culminating in them sharing a HeldGaze and HoldingHands, momentarily forgetting the group of teenage girls spectating.
-->'''Rona:''' ''[wistfully]'' That's hot.\\
'''Molly:''' ''[scribbling notes]'' So we're, supposed to, like...make out with him or something?
* Despite her status as TheScrappy, when the Spuffy romance has moved right past EveryoneCanSeeIt to even the Potentials, Kennedy's comment at finding out Buffy found Spike's crypt comfy is worth at least a giggle.
-->'''Kennedy:''' Excuse me? ''[stares Buffy down]'' When did you find it comfy?\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Buffy:''' [[SayingTooMuch Moving on...]]
* Buffy introduces the Potentials to Clem, and Kennedy wonders if Buffy had dated him too.
* Dawn's {{Adorkable}} complaint as she sneaks into the school with Amanda.
-->'''Dawn:''' I think I strained something. Something I might need later in life.
* Upon hearing Rona say of a stake, "I love the feeling of wood in my hands", Kennedy has to say, "You lost me there."

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E13TheKillerInMe The Killer in Me]]" (7x13)]]
* As Molly and Rona are fighting over who gets to drive for their spirit quest (Rona won and stuffed Molly in the trunk), Giles busts Buffy on how the Potentials were apparently told the spirit quest involves "driving them into the desert, doing the Hokey Pokey until a spooky Rasta-Mama Slayer appears and speaks to them in riddles."
* TheGlomp Andrew gives Willow-as-Warren.
-->'''Willow-as-Warren:''' Bad touching!
** For the rest of the scene, Dawn and Andrew just keep poking Willow.
* Anya, Xander, Dawn, and Andrew start fearing that Giles might be the First because they can't remember if he's touched anything, since the First is incorporeal and all.
-->'''Giles:''' You think that I'm evil because I bring a group of girls camping and ''don't'' touch them?
** And how do they figure out that Giles isn't The First? They 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 know each other well enough to take such liberties, thank you.
* This bit:
-->'''Spike:''' Who ya gonna call? ''[{{Beat}}]'' [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} God, that phrase is never gonna be usable again, is it?]]\\
'''Buffy:''' Doubt it.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E14FirstDate First Date]]" (7x14)]]
* Spike attacks Giles in the cemetery when the man's in the middle of relating to Buffy and the Potentials how he saved himself from the Bringer in Robson's apartment.
** This SpeakInUnison exchange between Giles and Spike:
--->'''Spike:''' Hey! You're not the First!\\
'''Giles:''' Hey! You're not in pain!
** And then this:
--->'''Spike:''' Anya said you were the First! Said you were evil. You're supposed to be all... [[BuffySpeak go-through-able]].\\
'''Giles:''' Then what the hell did you ''tackle me'' for, you berk? What was that supposed to do?\\
'''Spike:''' ''[frowning]'' I, uh... didn't think of that.
* Giles admitting to Buffy he got the jump on the Bringer not by instinct and experience, but because the Bringer's shoes squeaked.
* Buffy and Willow talking about Principal Wood:
-->'''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.
* Xander excitedly announcing his date and then being put out that Buffy beat him to the punch.
* Xander noting that Wood is a decade older than Buffy and Willow adding that he's still [[DamnedByFaintPraise 100 years younger than]] [[HasAType her usual type]].
-->'''Buffy:''' Yay! Someone who doesn't remember the Industrial Revolution!
* Chao-Ahn the Chinese Potential, what with no one understanding what she's saying and vice versa.
** [[BlackComedy The Turok-Han flash card Giles made to facilitate her training.]]
* The awkward car ride between Buffy, Wood, and Spike.
-->'''Wood:''' ''[staring straight ahead stiffly]'' ...So how do you two know each other?\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[far too quickly]'' He works with me! Uh... you know, in the struggle against evil.\\
'''Wood:''' ''[[[EveryoneCanSeeIt obviously not buying it]]]'' Hm. Cool.
* Xander returns home after surviving his date. Willow asks what happened, he yells, "What do you think happened?!" Creator/SarahMichelleGellar clearly starts to crack up here.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E16Storyteller 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:''' In my plan, we are beltless!
* Also:
-->'''Andrew:''' WE ARE AS GOOOOODS! ''[plays harp while a unicorn trots gently by]''
* Andrew watching the footage of Xander and Anya's breakup, and mouthing Anya's words.
* [[AmbiguouslyGay Andrew]] [[NotDistractedByTheSexy ignoring Willow & Kennedy kissing]], instead complimenting Xander's work on fixing the window.
* Andrew tries to film Spike:
-->'''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...
* The pig from "Never Leave Me" reappears.
-->'''Wood:''' God, I hope that's not a student.
* Either hilarious or {{Squick}}y, depending on the viewer:
-->'''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.
* Andrew films a meeting where Buffy is giving one of her {{rousing speech}}es and then leaves. When he returns, she's ''still'' giving the speech. Even ''Willow'' looks bored.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E17LiesMyParentsToldMe Lies My Parents Told Me]]" (7x17)]]
* Giles's dismay over the modernized Sunnydale High School Library.
-->'''Giles:''' ''[storming into Woods' office]'' Everything's terrible! Total catastrophe!\\
'''Buffy:''' Giles, what's wrong?\\
'''Giles:''' Have you seen the new library? There's nothing but computers! There's not a book to be seen! I-I don't know where to begin, Buffy. I mean, who do we speak to?\\
'''Wood:''' Uh, that would that would be me.
* Wood trying to catch up with Spike's {{Backstory}}. Also serves as a humorous lampshade of ContinuityLockOut.
-->'''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.\\
'''Wood:''' 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.\\
'''Wood:''' 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.\\
'''Wood:''' So, he has a trigger, a soul, and a chip?\\
'''Giles:''' Not anymore!\\
'''Buffy:''' It was killing him, Giles!\\
'''Wood:''' The trigger?\\
'''Buffy:''' No, the chip. The trigger's not active anymore.\\
'''Wood:''' Because the military gave him a soul?\\
''[Giles tries to think an adequate response. Buffy glares at Wood, who gestures in surrender.]''\\
'''Wood:''' Uh... sorry.
* Andrew relays the plot hook for Willow's appearance on ''Series/{{Angel}}'', via a phone call from Winifred Burkle.
-->'''Andrew:''' Uh, Willow? Call for you from L.A... somebody named Fred? [[HypocriticalHumor Guy sounds kind of effeminate.]]
* Drusilla's look of "OhCrap" when Spike reveals he intends to turn and bring his mother along with them.
-->'''Spike:''' We'll ravage this city together, my pet. Lay waste to all of Europe. The three of us will teach those snobs and elites just what-- \\
'''Drusilla:''' Three?\\
'''Spike:''' [[MotorMouth Youmeandmother.]] \\
''[Spike continues to rattle off ToThePain descriptions of their upcoming killing spree as Drusilla grows more visibly perturbed]''\\
'''Drusilla:''' You... want to bring your mum with us?\\
'''Spike:''' Well... yeah. You'll like her!\\
'''Drusilla:''' Hm! To eat, you mean?
* After Spike delivers an ominous speech about how he's a vampire now, Anne Pratt asks incredulously if he is drunk.
-->'''Anne:''' Are you drunk?\\
'''Spike:''' ''[looks down ashamedly]'' ...little bit.
* Buffy talking to Giles about how she's in the fight of her life against the First, and the vampire she's fighting excitingly assuming she's talking about him.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E18DirtyGirls Dirty Girls]]" (7x18)]]
* Andrew's recount of Faith's backstory is mostly accurate... up until the point where she's suddenly fighting '''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries SPOCK]]''', complete with the "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E1AmokTime Amok Time]]" battle music playing and Spock attempting to use the Vulcan nerve pinch on Faith.
-->'''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...
** Chao-Ahn doesn't have a clue what Andrew is 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.
-->'''Faith:''' ''[referring to [[GrandTheftMe the body swap]]]'' Shoulda known it wasn't blondie 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.
** Faith [[NotWhatItLooksLike quickly putting some distance between them]] when Buffy comes downstairs [[GreenEyedMonster looking none too pleased]] about finding the two of them chatting.
* Faith's confusion after Buffy stops her from killing Spike.
-->'''Faith:''' Are you the bad Slayer now? Am I the good Slayer now?
* Faith and Spike fighting in the cemetery, believing the other to be evil as the last time they'd met, she was a fugitive and he was a barely-muzzled WildCard.
-->'''Faith:''' I've reformed.\\
'''Spike:''' So have I!

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E19EmptyPlaces 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.
-->'''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.]''

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E20Touched Touched]]" (7x20)]]
* Caleb confusing the First's Buffy appearance for the real thing, while it finds his failure to kill her as "embarrassing."
* Faith recommends kidnapping a Bringer, and Kennedy sarcastically suggests holding it for ransom. Xander's response?
-->'''Xander:''' Yeah, I'll get the magazines and start ripping out the letters now. "Dear Mr. First, if you want your Bringer back...well, we'll be surprised because you got, like, three million of them. So please disregard this letter. Yours sincerely--"

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E21EndOfDays End of Days]]" (7x21)]]
* After a quiet drama scene where they talk about how hard their lives have been, Faith sums it up quite nicely.
-->'''Faith:''' Thank God we're hot chicks with superpowers.
-->'''Buffy:''' Takes the edge off.

[[AC:"[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E22Chosen Chosen]]" (7x22)]]
* Angel's petulant reaction to the news that Spike has regained his soul.
-->'''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?'''''
** Speaking of maturity, when Buffy goes down to the cellar to talk to Spike, he's taped a little drawing of Angel to his punching bag.
* Buffy comes home to find a pissed off Dawn right in front of her. Just when you think Dawn's going to start one of her whining fits, she lightly kicks Buffy in the shin and calls her a dumbass. Then just when you expect another Buffy speech, she wearily says, "If you get killed, I'm telling."
* Two words: "Wheelchair fight."
* What do you do the night before the final battle? Play ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', of course!
** Also, from that scene, Andrew and his outfit.
** And for all the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' fans, the reference to Trogdor the Burninator really seals 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.
* During Buffy's epic "my power should be our power" speech, she turns to Willow, saying that she is stronger than the powerful men who created the First Slayer. Willow whimpers and summons up an attempt at a smile that's more a grimace.

[[folder:Comics: Season 8]]
* After Xander is forced to ride [[RunningGag Centaurette]] Dawn (causing her to get soaking wet), this exchange happens:
-->'''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.
* How about the title of an issue of the Twilight arc. What issue? "Them F#©%ing (Plus the True History of the Universe)", of course!
* Andrew and his video camera, including:
-->"I investigate farther. Further. I investigate more."
* We see Angel putting on the Twilight mask for the first time, with the narration stating that he has to do it so that Buffy won't know that it's him. Cut to Spike, seated at a computer and watching the footage of Twilight's first public appearance as it's being made.
-->'''Spike:''' So that's Angel, then.
* 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? Creator/StephenColbert! Oh, and he, in his trademark style, points out her hypocrisy and stupidity.
* In ''No Future For You'', Faith is sent undercover to bag Genevieve Savidge, a British Slayer who has 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:
-->'''Genevieve:''' Mind if I bum a fag?\\
'''Faith:''' What do I care? You can bum whoever you... oh.
* 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 [[SmugSnake Ethan Rayne]] who claims to know all her secrets, before revealing Buffy's fantasy of her in a NaughtyNurseOutfit chained to a [[OneTrueLove naked]] Series/{{Angel}} and a naked [[SlapSlapKiss Spike]].
--> "No. That's nothing worth... it's just been a slow year."
* TheUnreveal of Twilight's identity. "Sorry, itchy neck."
* Everyone piling into Buffy's bedroom and catching her and Satsu together.
--> Should I sound the alarm?\\
I wasn't aware that we *had* an alarm for [Buffy sleeping with a girl]. But yes. Sound it.
** 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.
** Then there's a vampire speculating that Buffy tastes sweet. Satsu stakes him and replies, "You have no idea." [[CantBelieveISaidThat She cringes upon saying it.]]
* Buffy hits on Xander.
-->'''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 [[NoBisexuals change your sexual orientation]]. You went--''through gay''-- to me.
* Just the very fact that the villain is named ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]''. Many lines instantly become ten times funnier.
-->'''Spike:''' You wanna put these demons down and end this Twilight crap once and for all?
* Hunting for Simone, Buffy takes Andrew along with her, seeing as he was Simone's Watcher. Well, for the whole trip, she puts up with his endless discussion of the most obsessive geek topics, until he gets onto the topic of ''Franchise/JamesBond'', specifically Creator/DanielCraig. Buffy just so happens to have a huge CelebCrush on him and is so into him in, well, that context that Andrew (who is gay) is creeped out.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comics: Season 9 (including ''Angel & Faith'', ''Spike: A Dark Place'', and ''Willow: Wonderland'')]]
* Menacing demon: "Buffy Summers, it is time for you to pay. ... [[CueCardPause YOUR STUDENT LOAN!]]"
** "Nobody say a fucking word." Buffy glares at the reader when making this comment, which makes the scene's LampshadeHanging ever funnier.
** Also the fact that after being locked out of his home dimension by the recent destruction of the Seed of Wonder, this menacing demon has been reduced to working as a debt collector. And that the people who summoned him thought that Buffy's case would need a menacing demon to get her to pay up.
* "Oh my God... this is the crappiest ritual dagger I've ever seen."
* The ''Angel & Faith'' comic ''In Perfect Harmony''. Just... all of it.
** Angel reminisces about his love for private detectives, how he enjoyed playing one for Angel Investigations, the cliche of a stormy night when a lady requests the detective's help. Well, it is a stormy night and a lady requests his help, and when Angel sees that it's Harmony, he remembers why he quit being a detective.
** Faith complains that she's meant to be a slut when Spike had slept with everyone except her.
** Harmony shows a sex tape where she sires someone, despite Angel repeatedly begging her not to. And Faith reasoning they're meant to boost the popularity of celebs with no talent.
** Angel brings Angelus levels of snark.
--->"Y'know, when you started this story, I didn't think it was possible for me to care any less. But here we are."
** When trying to narrow down the list of suspects, Faith has a suggestion.
--->"Anyone who really hates you... y'know what, never mind."
** Faith's idea to {{blackmail}} Harmony, then release the tape.
** A vampire calls Harmony "a slag with a fat ass," sending her into a BerserkerRage.
** When asked about the sex tape, the vampire who slagged her off turns out to be a huge fan who has all the other videos she made.
** Angel tries to say he didn't realize how famous Harmony was, but the words get stuck in his throat.
** When the idea is made to make a list of people who really hate Harmony, Faith calls dibs on top spot.
** Harmony shares advice she got from Creator/CharlieSheen. Faith offers some herself.
--->"When all else fails, bust some heads."
** Harmony gets the idea of paying Angel by making him look good, even proposing a sex tape for him, before remembering he'd probably lose his soul. Not that it stops her from continually discussing the idea.
** Harmony getting upset over her image in publicity campaigns.
** Faith referencing ''Franchise/StarWars'' again.
** Faith offers her opinion on seeing Harmony stripping at a club. Bonus points for looking envious.
--->"Those are so fake."
** Angel throws out the reward Harmony gives him, the realization that famous people are crazy much more valuable to him.
** Harmony complaining that a magazine cover makes her look 25.
** After Clem confesses he's in love with Harmony, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk she kisses him but says she can only date tens, as attractive people have that "responsibility", and she continues to treat him like dirt]]. Then he goes back to being her [[ExtremeDoormat lapdog]].
* Spike is amused when Buffy loses an arm, only to discover not only might she not be pregnant, but she's [[ActuallyADoombot actually a Buffybot]], which leads her to swear again.
-->Spike...I'm a f&^king robot!
* ''Daddy Issues'' was really heavy, and we needed something light. We got it with ''Women of a Certain Age'' which revolved around Giles's aunts, and they're no better than Harmony.
** They invite themselves in and when challenged said how "all residents of the country home" are allowed, as per the will. Faith abashedly admits she thought it was referring to horses.
** Angel typically tries to apologize for killing Giles. They brush him off on account of magic but when he tries to claim it was his choice, he's told that his hair is much more cause to be sorry for.
** Turns out one of the reasons they are there is because they had made a lot of deals with demons, and now an army of them are looking to collect. At this point, Faith asks the aunts if Giles hates them as much as she does.
** After fighting several of them, one demon enters and says he just wants a kiss, chasing after Giles's aunts. When the next demon enters, Angel proposes a truce, not wanting to miss the funny scene. The demon readily agrees.
** As a boy, Giles wanted to be a fighter pilot and was constantly playing with a toy plane. After he nearly tears a hole in one of his aunt's minidress, they claim they should have called the little blighter "[[{{Foreshadowing}} Ripper]]."
** When they're alone, Angel thinks Lavinia is trying to seduce him. As well as the whole losing his soul issue, she freaks him out. When she sees what he thinks, she laughs it off and says she would have gotten married if she wanted to shag a corpse. Meanwhile, Giles is thought to be Faith's sugar daddy, and denials of this are ignored.
** The next comic's alternate cover proves the Fake Swami's (of ''Guise Will Be Guise'') point: It has Faith cruising Hollywood in a convertible, Angel's old car, in the sun, having a ball. Where's Angel? Growling under his coat, sizzling. Irony.
** When the aunts stay, one of them rummages through Faith's drawers and says she found earplugs where the Slayer keeps her vibrator. Faith maintains they're stakes, but she has alluded to using them as dildos before.
* In the first ''Spike'' issue:
-->'''Elizabeth:''' "I have ''never'' seen his majesty like this before."\\
'''Sebastian:''' "He has told us to sod off before, Elizabeth. Just last week, [[ScrewYourself he told Scotty and me to engage in an activity so anatomically impossible that--"]]
** Also from the same issue: [[IfIDoNotReturn "Tell my wife and larvae I love them."]]
* Buffy, after suddenly being teleported in the middle of a fight: "What the hell dimension?"
* "Good to see you dropped the Twilight act. I hear [[Creator/StephenieMeyer the chick]] who writes [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga the gothic novels]] [[TakeThat is litigous]]."
* From ''Live Through This'':
-->'''Angel:''' "If I avoided people who want to kill me, I'd never leave the house."
* In ''Death & Consequences'', when Spike is called in to help, he's about to use a chalice as an ashtray to the horror of the magic expert that had been helping Angel and Faith, when Angel thinks Buffy dumped Spike. Shit's on. Faith looks like she is in pain and their fight and it takes a crazy-with-rage Slayer wielding a sword at them to get the pair to stop.
* This:
-->'''Faith:''' Okay, I missed an episode. These guys are selling juice that grows back people's arms?\\
'''Angel:''' Not just arms. That was the blood of a Mohra Demon. It can regenerate any organ. Any wound. Even necrotic tissue.\\
'''Faith:''' You saying it could raise the dead? Ain't that kind of a leap?\\
'''Angel:''' I've seen Mohra blood bring a dead body to life. [[Recap/AngelS01E08IWillRememberYou Mine.]]\\
'''Faith:''' I missed a whole damn season.
* ''Angel, Faith and Spike''. Let's start with the covers, which is either Spike literally ChewingTheScenery and Faith amused, or Angel and Spike literally playing BettyAndVeronica and Faith is not amused, nor is she when Spike jokes about the shackles Giles had.
** Faith has to ward off a horny Spike, flatly shooting him down. Anyone else she'd be all for, but not him as she's matured past the bad boy phase.
** As they go to fight the Enders, Faith mentions Spike is more like Angel. Spike immediately latches onto the idea of them being gay and is enraged, but his comments [[DiggingYourselfDeeper only make it worse]]. After the fight, Faith reveals needling him about Angel and Buffy was for motivation, since Spike was concerned about how much of a threat the Enders were. He thinks she only said it to piss him off and fight better; nope, meant every word.
** Despite being the last person to give advice, Faith suggests Spike will get laid when he gets over Buffy. He enthusiastically agrees and claims he's over her, right now.
--->Right. Not even I am buying that one.
** With Faith keeping Spike at heel, he tries hitting on Giles's aunts, who also reject him on account of being too much of a NiceGuy and having a soul.
--->[[DrivenToSuicide A stake, I think. Stakes are quick. Though walking into sunlight and '''going down in flames''' seems an apt metaphor]].
** And to add to his woes, he has to watch a crazed Angel. He starts by blaming everything on Angel and using him as a life-sized puppet to mock him and because he got a soul Spike went and got one too like a wanker, [[NeverMyFault then blaming Buffy for wanting a good man and when Spike became one thinking he was boring]] until Angel wakes up and reveals he was listening to Spike whine.
** Spike claims his words were all a ploy to help Angel recover, just like Faith did. Because Spike did help, Angel gives him a phone number; Faith finds out whose when she threatens to make Spike eat his jacket if he uses all the hot water.
--->'''Harmony:''' You're out of hot water.
** Angel got Spike to call his ex, who took Faith's robe. When it's pointed out, Harmony promptly takes it off, but Faith no longer wants it. Angel's rather embarrassed about setting them up but it's quickly forgotten when Harmony [[BrickJoke finds the shackles]] and calls for Spike, who comes running out the shower as Faith screams for him to put a towel on.
** Faith grills Angel on not bringing Creator/DanielCraig back for her (whom Buffy had brought up wanting to do a few times), but he maintains it would be sleazy even though that was perfectly okay for Spike and Harmony. Instead, he takes her out for breakfast, [[DrivenToSuicide hoping the sunlight will get him after having to hear Spike's antics]].
* Angel, Faith and Giles's aunts are able to finally resurrect Giles. There's just one problem: his aunts were so vain they pictured him as a ''twelve year old boy''. They stare, and they stare, then he looks in a mirror to see ''Franchise/HarryPotter.'' Who [[MaleGaze stares down]] Faith's top when she inquires if it's really him, before she notices and looks like she's going to thump him. As Giles puts it...
-->"'''Bugger'''. What have you idiots '''done'''?"
** Giles finds [[MsFanservice Faith]] for a pep talk and apologizes for staring inappropriately, which she brushes off as him being a hormonal adolescent, prompting a temper tantrum that he's not before noticing her bemused smile at him acting exactly like a 12 year-old. She gives him a hug, then... well...[[RagingStiffie he gets a stack of quarters]].
*** Perhaps the best/worst/most embarrassingly hilarious part? Giles simply ''cannot'' reconcile the QuintessentialBritishGentleman he thoroughly enjoyed being with the HormoneAddledTeenager he has become, and makes repeated rants to that effect... which come off as [[HypocriticalHumor teenage temper tantrums]].
---->''I'm a '''grown man''', damn it all! I wear Saville Row clothes and drink Darjeeling tea and appreciate the nuances of Dostoyevsky in the '''original Russian!''' I am not some flighty, hormonal '''child''' who believes the world revolves around him and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way!'' ''[notices Faith trying not to laugh at the HypocriticalHumor]'' ''Um.'' ''[{{beat}}]'' ''That would have sounded better if my voice hadn't cracked.''

[[folder:Comics: Season 10 (including Angel & Faith vol. 2)]]
* The preview for ''Angel & Faith #4'' suggests that Faith is screwing up. Again. As in, ''"Faith screws up. Must be Tuesday."''
* Dracula treats Xander like a spurned lover, and gets pissy when he acts like he can control thunder and lightning only for Xander to tell Dawn he simply knows when it will strike.
** Same comic, Dawn scoffs at the idea of willing things to happen, thinking if it was that easy she would be ''ComicBook/BlackWidow.'' This leads to the revelation she and Xander dress up in things like ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' for sex, much to Buffy's horror.
** Also from [[RuleOfThree Buffy 10 3,]] Xander is having [[spoiler: aged 12!]] Giles play XBOX, and trying to instruct him on the bad things to do in the game. Never mind that he lets [[spoiler:a twelve year old]] Giles play ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto,'' he's trying to get him to kill hookers for money.
* Dracula steals the ''Vampyr'' book, which now has [[RealityWarper the power to define this dimension's mystical rules]], to take control of magic and its effect on reality. His first entry? Make himself genuinely look young again, not just his glamor. His second? All vampires refer to him as their Lord. Spike is ''not'' happy about that one.
* Andrew tries to fix the book after Dracula accidentally turns himself into an Old One. First he tries a retcon, and the book rejects it. Then he tries claiming ItWasAllJustADream and the book rejects it.
--> '''Xander''': The book really doesn't like cliches, either.
* Issue five has Willow fly a priest to the top of a skyscraper to bless it in order to turn the giant spire into a giant stake for a vampiric Old One.
-->'''Priest''': There's normally a bit of ''ceremony...''\\
'''Willow''': No offense, but I'm a Jewish Wiccan and ''we're all about to die!''\\
'''Priest''': Bless this building and all who use it-\\
'''Willow''': GIANT VAMPIRE COMING RIGHT AT US!\\
'''Priest''': [[MotorMouth Weaskyourblessingthroughchristourlordamen!]]
* Issue #7, "I Wish", has Spike and Xander briefly enslaved by evil mermaid-types. Their dreamy chatter as they're led back to the sirens' hideout is gold:
-->'''Xander''': I think we'll be having the sex. Do you think we'll be having the sex?\\
'''Spike''': If that's what the ladies want, it's only gentlemanly to provide it. If they want me to disembowel you, I'll do that too.\\
'''Xander''': Yeah, that's the polite thing.
* In the same issue, while having a [[FanserviceFauxFight pillow fight in their underwear]] while under the sirens' thrall:
--> '''Spike''': You know, I'm starting to feel a wee bit objectified.\\
'''Xander''': Really? I find this empowering.
* Then the hypnosis wears off...
-->'''Xander''': Hey. Why am I so upset? Why am I practically naked? And why am I horsy riding-- ''[Beat]'' We will never speak of this again.\\
'''Spike''': Bloody well right.\\
'''Xander''': How are your muscles so hard and your skin so soft?
* In issue 10, Harmony visits Xander and Spike's apartment, knocks Spike out and orders Clem to write her "ideal world" into the RealityWarper ''Vampyr'' book. Her changes include: everyone loves being fed on by vampires and won't freak out if they kill someone by accident, unicorns are totally real, everyone adores and listens to everything Harmony says, every woman on earth wants to be Harmony, every man who Harmony thinks is attractive will be in love with her... and that [[ThreesomeSubtext Buffy, Spike and Angel]] cut the crap and enter into a polyamorous polygamous marriage, to show that Harmony totally isn't selfish.
** Clem declines actually writing any of that except the unicorn part.
* Issue 11 has the compulsory TakeThat jab at ''Twilight''. It's actually pretty funny.
-->'''Spike''': "But you're not sparkling!" Well, ''excuse'' me. I'll shove some pop rocks up me arse.
** Buffy speed-dating in the same issue was also pretty funny, particularly when one of her dates turns out to be a vampire. Realizing she's a Slayer, he tries to break it off early... until he realizes she's the one Slayer with a rumoured [[HasAType "vampire fetish"]]. At that point, he tries to convince her to give him a chance by claiming he's [[TroubledButCute extremely self-hating]].
* Giles tries to rekindle his relationship with Olivia, who's aghast that he really believed she'd be okay with being with someone in a 12-year-old's body.
--> '''Giles''': Well, you've never been one to follow convention. I'd hoped-- \\
'''Olivia''': What? That I'm a pedophile?!
* Spike is less-inclined towards kitten poker these days, and manages to win the litter to spare them... and then brings them home with him. He at first claims he's planning on finding them a home the next day, [[KindHeartedCatLover but he and Xander end up keeping 3 while Buffy, Willow and Dawn keep the other 3]].
** Ghost Anya fawning over the kittens:
--> "Oh, they're adorable! I don't know how anyone can compare them to rabbits! Cats have a sadistic, predatory streak you can't help but love!"
* Xander and Dawn trying to make up excuses for the noises they're hearing from Xander and Spike's apartment being anything other than rough sex. The agreed idea? Buffy and Spike are "making sandwiches".
** Xander knows exactly what his maquettes smashing sounds like.
** Dawn admits that she's not actually following the "making sandwiches" euphemism and Xander admits the same, "but it sounds filthy, doesn't it?"
* The morning after, Buffy complains that it's unfair that vampires don't get morning breath. Spike offers that they get blood clots between their teeth instead, if it helps. Buffy agrees that it does, as she now finds him just as gross as she finds herself.
* Spike confides in Xander about his worries about having killed the two murder victims in his dreams:
-->'''Spike''': That's why I had to tell someone. Someone I can trust. Who trusts me, y'know? \\
'''Xander, holding a stake and crucifix''': Oh, totally.
* When Spike asks Willow and Giles to keep his dreams from Buffy until they know something concrete about it, Giles accuses him of asking it purely out selfish intent. Xander points out that Buffy wouldn't exactly like the way they're treating Spike over the matter either. [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E17LiesMyParentsToldMe Giles, having already been on the receiving end of Buffy's]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend protective girlfriend shtick]], immediately folds.
--> '''Xander''': Sure. And you should be too. Ever think that Buffy might not cotton to you treating her snuggle-bat like a criminal without any proof?\\
'''Giles''': ...I suppose it's only decent to have some answers for her.
* Spike and Buffy are initially confused about what it means that the bit of a demon who starts a line of vampires resides in each vampire in the line, thinking it means each vampire is in some way the same person (instead of an amalgam of the person they were and the demon).
-->'''Buffy''': Angel... and Spike? I literally fell in love with the same guy twice?\\
'''Spike''': Wait, Dru too? [[ScrewYourself I shagged myself?]]
* When they have to call Angel in, Spike is in a bad mood. Kid!Giles tells him to try and rise above it, and conduct himself with "grace and maturity" when making the phone call. Spike seemingly agrees as he dials...
-->'''Spike''': Hello, wanker.\\
'''Angel''': You'd think I would have blocked your number by now.
* Lavinia and Sophie are discussing how women are supposed to keep up appearances and look glamorous. Cut to Faith looking completely hung over. Later when Fred returns they again address this concerned the problem is spreading, with Faith and Fred looking like they had been up all night and in desperate need of sleep, or at least a shower and change of clothes.
-->'''Faith:''' [[BrickJoke Definitely getting my own place.]]\\
'''Fred:''' [[ASharedSuffering Take me with you.]]
* Preparing to fight the BigBad, Dawn is in charge with handing out the arms. Never mind the BrattyHalfPint being seen as the most mature of them and demanding they behave, Giles tells her not to be ridiculous before the group realizes that each of them have fought each other.
-->'''Spike:''' Just give us the bloody weapons.
** Andrew comes up with the idea of using radios to keep in contact, shaped like bananas for... some reason. He brings up to Angel that he's out of the closet. Angel's reply?
-->You were in?
** Later Willow mentions to Angel about how she believes immortals have trouble with change, and Angel reminds her that Spike is immortal too. Willow points out that he's already proven his capacity for change because of the whole choosing-to-get-a-soul thing, and asks Angel if he's any different than he was 90 years ago. He indignantly protests that he is, but only ends putting his foot in it:
--->"I used to be this brooding, tortured mess. Racked with guilt. Half the time withdrawn from the world, the other half jumping into these crazy, grand gestures--[[IResembleThatRemark that would inevitably blow up in my face--]]to try and make up for everything I'd...[[SayingTooMuch I'm gonna go guard the rear.]]"
** Spike finally comes up with a difference between him and Angel while taking to Buffy: [[LameComeback he's British while Angel is Irish.]]
* Buffy, Spike, and the Magic Council teleport to Buffy, Dawn, and Willow's apartment... while Dawn has a study group over.
* Dylan, Spike's sorta-LoveInterest from ''Into the Light'' shows up. Spike quickly tries to put his cards on the table by telling her he's currently dating Buffy... and Dylan laughs at him, asking if he ''really'' thought she was chasing a guy she knew for ''two days''. She actually just wanted to catch up and see if he wanted to come to her art show.
* Ghost Anya spectating Buffy and Spike having a disagreement in the next room with her usual Anya bluntness:
--> '''Anya''': Now Buffy's trying to pretend she's not mad, but she's pouting and giving him the cold shoulder. Spike's upset because he was hoping they'd have sex, so he's trying to take back what he said, which only makes her madder because she knows it's true and he's only trying to get some.
* D'Hoffryn suddenly teleporting into Buffy's bedroom while she's in it, and Buffy protesting that she could have been doing ''[[BuffySpeak bedroom activities]]''.
* Dawn figures out how to use her key abilities in the hell dimension through ''yoga breathing techniques''.
* Xander manages to gain himself a place of honour among the demons by teaching them about gabled roofing and repeating the advice he's learned from therapy to them.
** The demons re-enacting ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' as a live performance for Xander and Dawn.
* When Buffy and Spike have a lovers' spat in front of a sadism demoness that culminates in Spike storming away, the demoness asks Buffy to call him back to do it again, but to ask him to [[EatingTheEyeCandy take his shirt off]] this time. [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Buffy kicks her in the face for the comment.]]
* Andrew reappears after having been avoiding the group for a while. Buffy's response is hilarious:
--> '''Buffy''': Andrew! Where've you been? I got the impression from some passive aggressive Facebook posts that you were mad at us.
* Andrew uses a novelty ''Captain America'' shield to block [[spoiler: D'Hoffryn's]] beam attacks. It actually works.
* How does the group catch up to [[spoiler: D'Hoffryn]] after he teleports away in the finale? Dialogue implies Spike wrote a ''sonnet'' in the book about Dawn's key power over portals working on Earth. Given he jokes on his being a "crap poet" later in the issue, one can only imagine what that sonnet says.
** Even better, when [[spoiler: D'Hoffryn]] is trying to offer the group wishes based on their wants that have been showcased throughout the season, he gets to Andrew... and [[ForgettableCharacter has no idea what his name even is]].
---> '''Andrew''': It's Andrew! Andrew '''Wells'''! [[SixthRanger I've been here the whole time!]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comics: Season 11]]
* Dowling comments on Buffy and Spike's FlirtingUnderFire, as they're getting romantic in the middle of killing a sewer monster, of all things.
--> '''Dowling''': Monster, dead bodies, reeking sewer... who wouldn't feel romantic in such a magical setting?
* Jordan taunting Buffy about her soft-spot for supernaturals:
--> '''Jordan''': You got weak. Developed a vampire fetish. "Once you go Drac, you never go back," am I right?\\
[''Buffy tackles her down the stairs'']
* Buffy and Spike lampshading the SexyDiscretionShot trope:
--> '''Buffy''': But for now... pan over to the fireplace.\\
'''Spike''': We don't have a fireplace.\\
'''Buffy''': Do you want to get lucky or not?\\
'''Spike''': Fair point. I'll set something on fire.
* Before leaving the Safe Zone, Spike reminds Willow and Buffy to make sure Xander hasn't let the cats get too fat, as he's hopeless against their manipulations.
* Spike manages to find an underwater entrance into a government facility with the help of a seal who... [[InterspeciesRomance seems to have a crush on him]].
--> '''Spike''': ...Say hello to my rather large friend. I think she fancies me a bit.\\
'''Buffy''': I'll try to contain my jealousy.
* When the gang needs someone to impersonate the Vice President, all eyes immediately turn to Xander.
--> '''Willow''': [We need] Someone who can talk fast without actually saying anything. Someone who can dish out piles of B.S. without blinking. \\
'''Xander''': ...I can't decide if I'm offended or flattered.
* When Willow makes the switch between Xander and the real Vice President in his hotel room, the VP yells in surprise, alarming his security, who burst in with their guns ready. Xander, all glamoured-up to look like the VP, walks out in a tiny robe armed with the best cover story he could think of:
--> '''Xander''': Sorry guys, false alarm. Saw myself naked in the mirror. Not something I'd recommend, time has not been kind.
* When Jordan and the other Slayers who'd been working for the Safe Zone return to Buffy's doorstep to beg for their powers back:
--> '''Spike''': The bloody cheek! Sod off, the lot o' ya!\\
'''Buffy''': Easy, Spike. You're getting extra British. Don't pop your stitches.

'''Giles:''' Ah, Buffy. Good. We're having an apocalypse.
* Giles goes from explaining about the apocalypse to despairing about the lack of attention without missing a beat.

!! Novels
* In ''Halloween Rain'', Willow recognizes that two people Xander is chatting up at a costume party are vampires and tries to drop subtle hints before giving up and whispering "They're dead, you moron."
* In the short story collection ''How I Survived My Summer Vacation'':
** When Giles and Jenny try to tell Angel apart from a doppelgänger, Jenny is shocked to find out that Giles and Angel didn't figure out a signal they could make to prove their identity in the event of such a scenario when they first learned about the shapeshifter's presence.
--> '''Giles''': ''(defensively)'' My title is Watcher, not Planner.
** In "The Show Must Go On", Giles sneaks up behind a vampire in a theater prop room, grabs a dagger lying on a table, and tries to stab him. This fails because [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome like most theater props, the dagger is made of rubber]].
* In ''Bad Bargain'':
** Cordelia lectures Harmony (who has locked herself in a bathroom stall) not to care so much about how a curse is temporarily affecting her appearance while remaining oblivious to how another curse is having an even worse affect on ''her'' own appearance. Buffy decides not to tell Cordelia just then but feels some amusement when she hears Cordelia’s horrified scream a few minutes later, noting that her frenemy must have finally glanced into a mirror.
** The book is set in season 2 and has a humorous CallForward when Snyder is unhappy with the fundraising rummage sale [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E6BandCandy and thinks that selling candy next year will go more smoothly]].
* In ''Night of the Living Rerun'', a pair of {{Occult Detective}}s offer their services to the heroes and are asked if they have ever failed to protect anyone before. They defensively [[NoodleIncident say that their past failures are barely worth mentioning and it would be unfair to hold them responsible for the time a lake had a killer shark living in it.]]
* In ''Portal Through Time'':
** A time-traveling assassin is reluctant to kill a three-year-old Buffy because someone of his stature killing someone so young would sound embarassing at the next meeting of his Assassins Club.
** After one mission to try to change history, one vampire looks around "as if he expected a banner to be strung across the wall declaring, [=THE MASTER ROSE. ALL WENT WELL. WISH YOU WERE HERE.=]"
** Buffy wonders if a quiz on a book by Creator/ThomasHardy is related to ''Literature/TheHardyBoys''.
** When the Scooby Gang travel back in time to the same year where the body of an archeological find known as the Lindow Man died, Xander starts getting paranoid that he'll end up becoming the doomed Lindow Man and/or a HumanSacrifice.
* In ''Carnival of Souls'':
** After ruining an outfit, Buffy laments about the unfairness in how the Watchers' Council won't give her a clothing budget.
** Harmony is in charge of coming up with fundraising ideas and demonstrates her usual level of (in)competence at it. Her first idea is a blood drive and she is shocked to learn that blood is donated rather than sold. Then she dismisses Willow's book fair idea and gets a SarcasmBlind moment of agreeing with Buffy’s joke that no one buys books when they can buy shoes.
** Snyder refuses to punish two bullying football players because they have the potential to give the team a winning season, as long as no more team members die ''this'' year.
** After being cursed with gluttony, Xander even has some of the food intended for Giles' cats.
** When Willow announces that Snyder has disappeared and a local woman has been murdered, Xander says that's great news, then quickly clarifies he meant Snyder vanishing and not the murder.
** When Cordelia comes out of an enchantment that made her rob a clothing store and attack a clerk, she's horrified [[BaitAndSwitchComment that she may never get to shop there again]].

* In ''Out of the Madhouse'', Xander and Willow discuss how their group is called the Scooby Gang. Xander says that Willow is like Velma, Buffy and Angel are Shaggy and Scooby, Giles is Fred, and Cordelia is Daphne. When Willow asks about him and Oz, Xander says they are only secondary members and, regretably he is Scrappy-Doo, before making a hammy cry of "puppy power." This is arguably even funnier given [[TheScrappy a certain trope name]] and how CharacterPerceptionEvolution is making Xander less popular with modern fans.
* In ''Doomsday Deck'':
** Near the end of the book, Buffy mourns several murder victims from across the first three seasons whose deaths particularly affected her: [[spoiler:Jenny Calendar]], Stephen Platt. Dr. Gregory, Debby Foley, Principal Flutie, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers l Herbert the pig]]. The doomed school mascot from episode 6 being the last name on that list manages to be cute, sad, and a humorous bit of MoodWhiplash all at once.

** Cordelia loses a beauty contest and the Hawaiian vacation first prize. Willow earnestly tells her at least she got a good SecondPrize, a stack of encycolpedias, and Cordelia sourly stomps out of the room.
* In ''The Deathless'':
** After most of the Sunnydale seniors are brainwashed with enchanted class rings, there is an amusing montage of FantasticallyIndifferent reactions to this occurrence once they’re freed but have no memories of the day. {{Dumb Jock}}s Percy and Hogan debate about whether someone stole the sun or they just lost a day of time. Then they express concern about how Hogan’s dad will react to his car disappearing during that missing time.
** When Buffy fills her previously brainwashed friends in on what happened, Cordelia initially thinks the culprit is a shoe eating demon since she lost a heel while she was brainwashed. Cordelia then becomes outraged to learn that in order for the spell to have affected her, her graduation ring must be gold-plated and not solid gold like she paid for. Xander is just mad that he spent so much time at a busy after-school job to afford the ring and got cursed for his troubles.
* In ''The Sunnydale Yearbook'':
** Snyder's quote at the beginning is basically a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk speech about how he hates the class of '99 and will be happy to see them gone.
** In a good bit of DramaticIrony, Snyder writes in Buffy's yearbook that he finds comfort in the knowledge that the school will still stand long after she leaves it, not knowing that the high school will get blown up as part of the battle with the Mayor.
** There's a humorous contrast in the description of the escorts of the joint Homecoming Queens Dance when the yearbook notes that one is about to leave for Harvard and another is preparing to start work at a putt-putt golf course (although he does plan to go to college eventually).
** The yearbook mentions the band candy fiasco, has a picture of Giles in his Ripper bad boy persona and t-shirt, and wonders if he is trying out for ''Theatre/{{Grease}}''.
** The addictive, mental age-reverting candy bars that Mr. Trick and Ethan made sold so well that the band uniform fundraiser got $600,000 (more than enough to build a new building and still buy new uniforms) instead of the projected $1,500. The band director is grateful, but not quite sure what happened.
** There is a picture of Wesley in the faculty section, although the captioning admits the yearbook staff have no idea who he is or what he does at the school.
** Every single person who signed Buffy's yearbook [[BrickJoke just writes "Have a nice summer", just like what Marcie Ross experienced before going insane]].
** Xander writes "Who is this handsome lad?" next to his own picture.
** In the class personalities section, Buffy is "Most Likely to Be Imprisoned" (along with one of the Pack) and, as a possible StealthInsult, Harmony is the female "Biggest Attitude" winner.
** The lunch lady who tried to poison the food is briefly mentioned and was fired because higher levels of rat poison than acceptable were found in the stew. The fact that Sunnydale High would consider some level of rat poison in the food to be acceptable is both amusing and disturbing.
* In ''The Unseen Trilogy: The Burning'', Willow asks if a fake fur jacket she is trying on fits her style. Buffy awkwardly relies "It ''could'' be you, I guess. [[ByNoIMeanYes If you were, you know, someone else]]. Who isn’t you."
* One of the comedic highlights of ''Little Things'' is the notoriously miserly Anya initially being unworried about ants infesting the house she and Xander just moved into. This complacency vanishes in LargeHam style the second Xander tells her that the infestation will cost them money.
* In ''Mortal Fear'':
** The first chapter has an arrogant vampire named Hugo monologuing about how stupid the vampires who stay in Sunnydale are, given how there is a whole world of less risky places to hunt in. His sort-of friend Billy Bob keeps telling him that he's interrupting the show they're watching and also asks why Hugo is mocking vampires who stay in the Slayer's backyard when he himself ''came back to Sunnydale'' after just two years away. None of these comments have any effect on Hugo.
** Three of Billy Bob and Hugo's packmates are a GirlPosse of former cheerleaders who haven't matured much since becoming vampires. 2/3rd of their dialogue consists of one of them telling another that "Your ankles are fat" and her friend "smartly" replying "Are not."
* In ''Blackout'', Nikki Wood's status as the Slayer is an open secret among the {{Muggle}}s of her neighborhood, leading to moments like an old Marine veteran repeatedly asking her if she's ever killed communist vampires.
* In one scene of ''Spike & Dru: Pretty Maids All in a Row'', prominent Watcher Sir Nigel keeps losing chess games to one of his colleagues, then asks another to be his new opponent and replies "Precisely the point, my dear." when she says she doesn't play the game often.
* In the BadFuture of ''The Lost Slayer'' novels, when Spike and Drusilla menacingly tell Buffy that they know what to do with kitties like her, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Harmony thinks that he means actual kittens and is briefly horrified at the idea of killing them.]] Even Drusilla [[EvenEvilHasStandards agrees that would be too much]], unless she was hungry.
* The whole opening scene of ''Sweet Sixteen'', when Buffy drops by a convenience store to buy a Twinkie and encounters a group of dangerous (albeit kitten-loving) demons threatening the clerk for not letting them pay for cat food with coins with their demonic lord's face embroidered on it (the clerk thinks they're Canadian quarters). The demons also describe how they are on a mission to complete another demon's Creator/BabeRuth baseball card collection.
--> '''Lead demon''': We are in the blessed mini-van, on a quest with many of his greatest cards to trade at the great festival of cards and games in San Diego.
* In ''Crossings'':
** Xander drags Anya to a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' movie marathon after giving her a crash course in the franchise. Anya points out that the security guards are dressed as {{Redshirts}} and asks if that means that they're going to die. Xander has barely finished saying no before the guards end up the first victims of a DemonicPossession victim.
** The scene where Willow and the ghost of a local boy the BigBad killed visit NotSoPhonyPsychic Derek Traynor.
*** They walk in on Traynor while he's asleep and naked, and he calls Willow a peeping tom who hangs out with dead people. She protests both labels, then recalls her friendships with Spike and Angel and acknowledges that, but insists she's still not a peeping tom.
*** Traynor rants about how ghosts keep making odd requests of him, and one told him to tell his wife there was an insurance policy hidden in their house, only to later confide in Traynor that he lied because his wife killed him (without leaving behind any evidence) and he wanted to get her stressed out looking for the nonexistent policy.
* In ''Slayer'', the Watcher trainee/Slayer narrator tells a teenaged sorcerer acquaintance about The End of Magic from the season 8 comics and asks how it is that he never figured this out for himself. He says that he thought his magic was experiencing the equivalent of a bad wi-fi signal and that the accompanying cataclysms were the result of global warming.
* In the ''Tales of the Slayer'' short stories:
** "The Ghosts of Slayers Past" is a WholePlotReference to ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''. The cold-hearted Watcher doesn't start appreciating his Slayer (whom he views as not being a proper lady) because of a HeelRealization but because Buffy (who fulfills the role of the Ghost of Christmas Future) lets him see that however scandalous he may find his current charge, any subsequent Slayers he ends up with in the future could give him an even worse case of CultureClash.
** In "Undeadsville", Zoe the current Slayer notes that an unintentionally annoying coworker has her heart in the right place. Zoe notes that [[AttackOnTheHeart she of all people knows where the heart should be.]]
* In ''Big Bad'' (which is set in one AlternateUniverse and also briefly features others):
** Darla and Angelus argue about whose fault their estrangement is. She says she offered to let him keep living with her and he reminds his ex-lover/sire that she actually invited him to be JustFriends with her and her new husband (The Master).
** Jonathan's diary reveals that he thought Mayor Wilkins blocking out the sun to make Sunnydale a MonsterTown was a campaign stunt. He also goes off on a tangent, comparing the scenario to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E25WhoShotMrBurnsPartOne The Simpsons episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"]]
** Anya explodes in rage and leaves Jonathan and Andrew quaking in fear after they let it slip they paid for a wish with counterfeit money.
** Buffy has a YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction to everything in the Jonathan Levinson Presidential Museum and all its geeky glory.
** After Angelus gets teased over how his main universe counterpart dated Buffy, he complains that "I am not responsible for anything some ensouled vegetarian does with my face."
** Anya has a brief rush of excitement after she learns that the vainglorious Glory is having an affair with the god of cubicles. She then bemoans how Buffy just killed most of the people she’d enjoy gossiping with over that tidbit.
** After D'Hoffryn is reduced to a sentient disembodied head by Buffy, Jonathan and Andrew offer him a robot body. He doesn’t mind having his head stuck on a female SexBot, but requests they modify the robot to shoot lightning from its fingers.
* In ''Bloody Fool for Love: A Spike Prequel'':
** Darla breaks into 10 Downing Street to give a message to British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury and gets into a fight with two CreatureHunterOrganization members with a ThoseTwoGuys vibe. The less effective of the pair thinks that roses weaken vampires the same way garlic does. He also accuses Darla of trying to hypnotize him into being attracted to her during the middle of a fight, but his partner tells him to just accept that [[AmazonChaser he has the hots for strong women]]. Then, after Darla barely escapes from their reinforcements, [[AllForNothing it later turns out that Salisbury wasn't even living there at the time]].
** Darla reads ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' and complains about all of his brides' good quirks that got left out of the book (like how one knits and another collects antiques).
** The demon Edith (the namesake of Drusilla's doll) has a lot of humorous BritishStuffiness moments, like insisting on leaving a strategy meeting to have afternoon tea.
** Darla finds Spike and Drusilla meeting a werewolf mercenary, to discuss a heist she forbade them from getting involved with, and they come up with the EmbarrassingCoverUp that they were about to have a threesome.
** Right after Harry assures Rieka that Spike and Drusilla are surely two steps ahead of their adversary, a GilliganCut shows that the two are really about to get caught completely off-guard.
* In ''The Official Grimoire: The Magickal History of Sunnydale'':
** Xander and Spike write notes insulting each other’s nicknames after Amy Madison calls Xander "the Xandman" while writing about the love spell debacle, with Xander also sorely telling Spike to "go fall on something spiky."
** The largely cringeworthy history paper Willow's tutoring student Percy wrote about UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt during the episode where her Wishverse vampire doppelganger visited Sunnydale is included. He thinks that the nickname "Teddy" came from Roosevelt turning into a teddy bear at night, and that the Rough Riders and Bull Moose Party were street gangs. He also says he forgot the word count for the paper but was too scared to ask Willow about it because he was afraid she would be in her dark goth phase (meaning Wishverse Willow) again before nervously adding that said goth phase is a perfectly acceptable lifestyle choice he has no problem with. The history teacher scribbles on the paper that [[DamnedByFaintPraise there are a few actual facts about Roosevelt buried in the paper, so he'll let Percy graduate.]]
** A newspaper report about the events of the season 3 finale (with SunnydaleSyndrome making it sound like an accidental explosion) quotes a graduate going from saying that there was a giant snake there to wondering if he can get back the deposit on his burnt gown.
** The diary entry after Willow learned Professor Walsh is head of the Initiative has her comment that she is unsure whether that makes it more or less justifiable that Walsh has still failed to grade her midterm paper.
** Willow includes the wedding invitations and seating plans for when Buffy and Spike were enchanted into almost getting married. Buffy apparently wanted to burn it all, but they felt it is a good cautionary experience to remember.
*** In a moment that is both funny and heartwarming, on the invitations, Buffy has Giles’ name next to her mother’s in parentheses and with a question mark while naming the parents of the bride who will be hosting the reception. Giles has since scribbled a message on the invitation saying he is touched, but never would have attended or paid for the wedding due to his dislike of Spike.
*** The wedding venue is said to be a [=TBD=] venue free of crucifixes or holy water, although Buffy draws the line at it being a crypt or cemetery.
*** The seating chart has all of Spike’s friends, including another Initative prisoner whose name he doesn’t even remember and Buffy's hated enemy Drusilla. There is an annotation from Buffy saying she doesn’t know most of them, with Spike saying that is because she would slay them and promising to have each of them eat something (or rather, someone) right before the wedding so they will behave.
** Willow is reluctant to say that she was initially losing her battle with Adam, but does concede that she was somewhere to the "left of winning."
* At the end of the "Slayer, Interrupted" prequel comic miniseries, Giles has gone through all kinds of grief to win the honor of becoming Buffy's new Watcher, then proceeds to read her file, muses that Sunnydale is a stupid name for a town, and then gets a BigWhat reaction to learning his new charge is named Buffy.
[[/folder]]

* After several werewolf attacks, the students are being taught self-defense. After the instructor explains these are simple techniques, Buffy offers an idea mostly to herself.

* 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:
-->'''Theresa''': There's actually a few others who need partners.\\

-->'''Willow''': Buffy, just remember, you're meant to be a weak girl. You can't go all Slayer on him.\\
