History YMMV / BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E13TheZeppo

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** Faith screwing Xander's brains out while he singlehandedly stops a plot to blow open the hellmouth? Funny and awesome. [[spoiler: When it's revealed men are less than nothing to her? It stops being awesome. When Willow finds out and is in the bathroom crying it stops being funny. And Faith later sexually assaulting, then trying to kill Xander makes it this trope.]]

** The fact that this whole episode revolves around trying to show that Xander ''is'' a badass in his own way feels odd considering that a very important plot point of the final season is Buffy going on a total AlphaBitch-fest that would make early-series Cordelia tell her to calm down because she doesn't consider '''anybody''' badass enough by her standards, and while she learns to be more of a "general" the other Scoobies get a near-fatal case of TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong when they try to do what they can by themselves.

* WhatAnIdiot: The episode BookEnds with Cordelia insulting Xander by saying that he's not a badass and he brings nothing to the Sccoby Gang (the TitleDrop is her comparing Xander to who she thinks is the most forgettable of the Marx Brothers). In the second occasion, Xander has freaking ''saved their lives without their knowledge''... '''[[InvokedTrope and he decides]] [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold to never tell them]]'''. Hard to tell if it would have saved him from being one of the victims of the InUniverse WhatMeasureIsANonBadass argument that spreads throughout the other seasons (especially the final one) but it surely would have helped.

* HilariousInHindsight: A younger Creator/MichaelCudlitz guest stars as one of Jack's friends, a zombie who is first shown rising from the grave and who is killed by Xander when his head is crushed. Years later, Cudlitz played Abraham on ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', who fights zombies [[spoiler:and dies when his head is crushed, though given the circumstances of his death he does not reanimate as a zombie.]]

* LoveItOrHateIt: This episode divides fans a bit. Whether or not you get into this one largely depends on how much you get into Xander.
