You guys have named many of my favorites. Some more: Spike, describing an exciting night for a Watcher: “Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost had a shag, cuppa tea.” In The Body, when Buffy says, “Mommy?!?” Broke my heart. Spike saying to to Buffy, “You treated me like a man” in The Gift. Dawn, of Doublemeat burgers, “They’re like a meat party in my mouth!” Beat. “I’m a kid, and even _I_ realize how bad that sounded.” Damn near everything Oz ever said. Esp. his definition of a hootenanny. Poor William using the word “effulgent” in his poem. Buffy reading Xander’s mind in earshot, where he’s trying not to think about sex. Buffy punching Parker’s lights out in Beer Bad. The Tara/Giles duet in OMWF. ---

There are a lot of great ones that I like that have already been mentioned. “You do know the Beattles right?” “I like Helter-Skelter.” “Ya, you would.” Spike and Adam were very amusing in their scenes together. “When I could read minds my Mom thought you screwed like a stevedore. What’s a stevedore?” That and the whole “I don’t have time for bondage fun.” Buffy-in-Faith at Giles scene is great. “Its comforting to know I lack the culinary finese of a cave man.” Everything with Xander in Buffy meets Dracula is hysterical. I’m not sure if he’s ever been as on as in that episode, he just nailed everyline and every scene. Dawn thinking she had breaking news with spontanious singing at her school was a funny scene as well. Especially with Anya’s total acceptance of the possibility that she gave birth to a prehistoric creature. Also all of Willow’s facial expressions in Him were great. As was her argument with Anya over him. Ok that’s enough for now. ---

“Where is he? Where’s the creep who turned me into a spider-eating man-bitch?” I still laugh whenever I think of that. The last ten minutes of “The Wish”. I watched it over and over again. The scene in season two when Spike meets Buffy’s mom officially; “have we met?” “you hit me with an ax one time? Remember? ‘Get away from my daughter!’” Hilarious. ---

Ones that haven’t been mentioned: “Can I be blind, too” from Something Blue always cracks me up. “A bear! You made a bear! Undo it!” from Pangs. Actually many moments from that episode… the episode as a whole, not that great. and the entire overhead scene from “Hush” ---

Oz’s “Actually, that explains a lot.” Willow pretending to be VampWillow, especially her “Could a human do this?” _😱_, and Anya and the henchvamp’s reaction. ---

Can’t believe I forget this moment: when Buffy knocks Giles out to prevent him from going after Angelus… she tells Jenny, “When he wakes up, tell him…tell him… Think of something cool, tell him I said it.” ---

That was in Prophecy Girl when she knocked him out because he wanted to go after The Master. When he went after Angelus, Jenny was already dead. ---

Right you are… in fact, that hit me after I hit Submit… it was Giles’ reaction to Buffy’s reaction that she was going to die at the hands of the Master. My bad. ---

Can I ask a semi-OT question? What’s a “shipper”? Me confused. ---

When Willow and VampWillow hug - and Willow jumps back saying “Bad Touch Bad Touch!” Buffy saying she was happy dead, not in a hell dimension. Tara saying to Willow “I am, you know… Yours” The mayor giving the speech at graduation. Buffy and Willow can’t believe he’s going to torture them with the WHOLE speech before “evolving”. ---

**Zanshin** a “shipper” is somebody who wants a certain couple to be together–as in relation_ship_. Some watch the show specifically to see their couples together, some don’t. And of course, there is a shipper for every single combination you can think of. ---

**\** Sorry for the misinformation, but I’m tired… I think Willow said “Hands!” not “Bad Touch” and The Mayor _ascended_ not _evolved_ Sorry for anything else I got wrong!! slinking off to bed now ---

Yeah, Spander is one of the most popular combinations in fanfic. ---

The bit when they’re discussing how to stpo the Mayor ascending, and Cordelia says ‘Well, we know he’s afraid of germs, right? So we get some ebola…wait! We get a box and write ebola on it, and chase him. With the box.’ Cracks me up every time. Most scenes involving the Mayor and Faith. They just responded so well to each other. As already mentioned, Anya’s fruit-punch/mortality spiel. I liked Anya a whole lot more after that. ---

(Lurker mode off.) Spike (tied to a chair): “Don’t _I_ get a cookie?” (Lurker mode back on.) ---

Spike explaining why he doesn’t want the earth to be destroyed: something about humans being walking poptarts? Giles is tied to a chair. Angelus has been torturing him. Zander arrives to rescue Giles. Giles thinks Zander isn’t real because they’ve been, “making me see what I wnat to see”. Zander says, “why would you want to see me?” Giles immediately realizes that Zander is, indeed, real. Zander and his twin saying, in unison, “Kill us both, Spock!” Various times when any two or all three of the Geek Trio get into something totally geeky from comics, Star Trek, or whatever. Joyce saying (don’t remember her exact words, but something along the lines of), “You died!? When did you die?!” Buffy saying, “You had sex with Giles? On top of a police car? Twice!?” Giles’ reaction when Buffy returns to Sunnydale (after having run away and been gone for several months). ---

Just thought of two others: Dawn’s appearence – The moment when Buffy is going somewhere, and Joyce says, “Take your sister.” Buffy and Dawn both say, “Mo-o-om!” Dawn saying, “I’m not going to Hogwarts.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weve-done-episodes-now-favorite-buffy-moments/156629.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weve-done-episodes-now-favorite-buffy-moments/156629.md?page=3)
