[@davidcheatham5828]

I like the flowering onion arc. First Spike eats them at the Bronze, then they get removed from the menu, and then by the last season he has learned how to make his own.

[@subutaynoyan5372]

Character development of this show is better than any show you'd watch and love. Seriously, it's the best show in that department.

[@timf7413]

I used to watch it when I was a teenager. It was really odd, probably as close as you could get to something like Buffy in a pure soap opera format.

[@MagicalMysteryViewer]

Aww, you left out my favorite Anya money joke: Buffybot: How is your money? Anya: Fine, thank you for asking!

[@catboyneilcicierega]

MagicalMysteryViewer oh yeah the Buffybot’s view is ‘Anya: Ex-demon, dates Xander, likes money

[@timf7413]

The robot's on screen factoids were hilarious. My favorite was Willow: gay (1999-present)

[@Belforhir]

my favorite Anya moment is when she doesn't understand death/funerals when going to Buffy's mom's funeral

[@jonathanfraser321]

I love the brilliant way Anya deconstructs American Values in one sentence. And Giles' British look of disgust in response. Tells you all you need to know about why we're so different

[@HarrySpencerMusic]

Honestly been looking for the Anya / Buffybot clip for ages - No one ever mentions it!

[@tsukigalleta]

[@animemanXLK]

god I thought it the video was going to be 11 minutes of shrimp jokes for a minute there and I'm like there can't possibly be that many shrimp world references in buffy/angel

[@brockbuster]

I wouldn't hate it if there were enough shrimp jokes to last 11 minutes.

[@Mst3kfan1994]

Got to admit, kind of disappointed that there aren't an extra 10 minutes worth of shrimp jokes that I missed.

[@dayceem]

There is also the great Winnebago escape in season 6 where Spike tries to make Xander toss his cookies by saying 'shrimp'.

[@DavidMacLuna]

The Shrimp jokes are references to Repo Man, a favorite movie of Joss Whedons. Note the cameo by Harry Dean Stanton in the Avengers, also.

I laughed every time I watched that episode.

[@RobMost]

I still love how they basically told us WIllow was gay ages before even she knew.

[@CupcakeBrianna]

Whedon was trying to decide if he wanted to make Xander or Willow gay in later seasons. Xander had some foreshadowing too like the episode when the football player came out to him and also assumed Xander was gay. Xander felt bad and never corrected him.

[@catboyneilcicierega]

Actually she's bi, she kissed and slept with Oz remember

[@0anyanka0]

ItsNekoCraft technically she would probably be bi nowadays but back then being bi wasn’t really common. You were either one or the other. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Dorian-_-Gray]

​@@0anyanka0 Plenty of people identified as bisexual and called themselves that when Buffy was on the air. In fact, at the time, it was debated among fans of this show whether or not it mattered that Willow wasn't identified by herself or anyone else as bisexual, as bisexuals did appear on TV and in movies back then, but they tended to be villains. Whedon was aware of it, which is why the first episode where Vampire Willow comes on to women hints Willow shares the same feelings. Even if the show hadn't paired Willow with Tara (Whedon considered having Xander come out instead) he wanted to avoid the "bi = evil" cliche.

[@0anyanka0]

Dorian Gray i apologise if i worded it wrong. i’m not saying people weren’t i’m just saying it wasn’t as common. (a few people have said this so i was just passing on information that’s all) i don’t mean to offend anyone.

[@JHallenbeck]

The Spike sign trilogy remains the best. Arrival, return, departure.

[@RynRobitske]

I never caught the departure before, but that's beautiful.

[@Tindomul1of9]

I never caught that before. Thanks for that.

[@stirlingarcher7972]

The final scene too. When they’re looking at the big crater where the town used to be and Giles asked what did that Buffy says “Spike” and right after she says it a Sunnydale sign falls into the crater. I always thought that was a final reference to Spike and the sign.

[@catboyneilcicierega]

Sterling Archer ooo yea I noticed that too

[@Whatshername1991]

Those writers were brilliant 🤯

[@LawdyGawd]

I love the Tucker's brother gag. I died when they had Spike recognize who Tucker was, but not Andrew.

[@Flufux]

[@89moonboy]

It was kinda ironic that even Cordelia became a half-demon later on Angel. So no non-demonic girlfriends for Xander.

[@mrspidey80]

He's with Dawn in the comics. That's quite close to human...

[@89moonboy]

Close but still not human :)

[@MagicansGroup]

If you think about it she isn't even alive... She is pure magic (Talking about after Buffy kill magic she almost stop existing, as she is magic and that alone). Non-demonic, but non-human either.

[@MagicansGroup]

Again, if she was human, when the magic disapeared in the comics she would not be affected, but both her existence and the memories of other's where, as in the sense: she is pure magic. Maybe not the key anymore, but she was MADE from magic (Her human form, and backstory), so as she is not the key, and was never human, she couldn't turn human without someone actively trying to do so - which anyone ever did - and if she is not the Key she is just the magic made to create her. And a key don't stop being a key just because you oppened a door. I believe she is still the Key, just no one of her friends would USE her as that... Or they would die by Buffy's hand. ... Well I kind of find it funny she dates Xander, because he was her crush from the first time she appeared.

[@karencorbeill154]

They do say part of Dawn was made from Buffy. That's why Buffy was able to jump into the dimension split and seal it. So part of Dawn is human because part of Dawn is Buffy. And yeah, Dawn dating Xander in the comics is ick.

[@rboss5919]

The greatest trick that Leprechauns ever pulled was convincing the Buffy verse that they didn't exist.

[@EmoBearRights]

Robert Bosshardt One appears in the comics.

[@GenUrobutcher]

And they are gone... Just like that

[@virgilxavier1]

CS Lewis would agree.

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Maybe after everything changed, Leprechauns just sorta came into existence

[@SelphieFairy]

This is definitely one of the greatest things about Buffy. Even small things will get repeated or mentioned even seasons later, and really gives the show this sense of consistency/continuity and it's a great thing for loyal fans who watched it carefully.

[@tanzeemahmed7196]

SelphieFairy Definitely. The infamous Xander lie in Becoming Pt 2 was only called out on in S7 from what I remember. Initially, it was so frustrating for me that something that caused so much debate amongst viewers and revulsion within many had such little fallout for Xander from Buffy's end. However, I grew to appreciate it for what it represented; an adult Buffy, like many viewers, was realistically over Angel and the grief their turbulent relationship caused, which is why she barely batted an eyelid at a revelation which would've caused a teenaged Buffy to melodramatically freak out. As great as the implications of the revealing scene are, the scene also reminds me of how evil Xander can be- I never forgot about his attempted rape of Buffy (my issue isn't the action itself (he was, in essence, soulless) but more the lie of him forgetting about it) and his other terrible but often forgiven moments... All this stemming from the line "kick his ass"! Damn you Joss and Co. for making me think so hard! 😂😂

[@RyanlovesTh]

Truuuee it feels like a real univers

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

Also, in the episode with the Buffybot, she was programmed to know that Anya loves money so the robot asks Anya "How's your money? " and Anya says "very good thanks for asking" with a big dopey smile on her face

[@RobynHarris]

+ShadyPinesMa79 and _I Was Made to Love You_. Anya: Anyway, I took the money from working for Giles, and I tripled it. Tara: Tripled? Like, first money, then money money money? Anya: Yes. I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

[@RobynHarris]

SuperCorrector1 It's one of those things I will never know, but I wish I could follow the chain of hops, skips and jumps in Anya's brain that led her to consider going used Antelope shopping. Blake: "You think she came in to get out of the rain? Ex-demon don't walk on the lot 'less she's looking to buy."

[@SynthApprentice]

RobynHarris It's not really much of a jump. She wants something expensive. Antelopes are expensive.

[@VavidDilla]

RobynHarris I think bc way back when she was human she might have picked up that need.

[@metro121482]

I think the video made enough of a point with the Anya/money references they used. There are too many jokes about Anya's love of money spread out over seasons 5, 6, and 7 of Buffy. Hell, a video on the money thing alone would probably be a good 30 minutes long, and it would take a person forever to find every single one.

[@jaymebowden5533]

I just realized there's foreshadowing in the Passions parts! Spike says "Oh Percy, you blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?" Which foreshadows his unrequited love for Buffy. Then, when Buffy's mom starts talking about the show they mention a wedding and that there's "no way they're going to go through with that."

[@tanzeemahmed7196]

Jayme Bowden OH MY GOD!

[@leesya9802]

Jayme Bowden I’ve always thought he said “Pacey” being that Dawson’s Creek and Buffy were on at the same time on the same network. Also if you watch Dawson’s Creek there seem to be some references to buffy as well.

He was referring to Pacey on Dawson's Creek. :)

I know I'm replying to an old comment, but I was going to write the same thing. I totally never thought of Spike destroying the sign in the last episode. If I'd noticed it at the time I'd have probably cried.

[@maxnaturamour7200]

Yes, a falling Sunnydale sign at the end it was like Spike's signature. Great point to end up the story. For me all that was his story as much as Buffy's.

[@DroseraNara]

Spike is my favorite buffy vampire because of his begrudging friendship with like half the cast. He just slowly becomes more domesticated.

[@someonerandom8552]

Spike and Joyce randomly bonding over Passions is the most adorable thing ever lol

[@BeckettBaladas]

There is another one: s1ep2- at the end of the Episode, Giles says "The earth is doomed", s7ep22 before they head down to the seal above the Hellmouth, they talk about their plans for tomorrow (shopping) and Giles adds "The earth is DEFINITELY doomed"

[@dayceem]

I wrack my brain trying to decide if that's something that was planned from the very beginning or if someone thought of it on the spot. Either way, it's perfect.

I liked Anya's running joke of walking in without announcing her presence in some way, like not knocking before she barged into someone's home, office, etc., because as a demon, she didn't _just_ feel entitled to go where she wanted-she also got used to simply _appearing_ where she was supposed to be according to her nature as vengeance incarnate. So, she seemed to assume that if she could manage to arrive inside a room as a human, she was supposed to be there.

Also in Buffy, when Cordelia sees Angel for the first time in The Bronze, she says, "...Hello, salty goodness !" And then again in season 4, episode 6 of Angel, she has amnesia created by a memory spell and reverts to her teenage self. When she sees Angel she again says, "...Hello, salty goodness !" Lol. SPOILER: Another funny joke is where Angel is killed by Buffy to stop the Acathla from swallowing the world into hell. In that scene, Buffy tells Angel to close his eyes before she impales him with the sword. But during season 5 of Angel, episode 20, Angel and Spike are arguing about which one of them had saved the world "more." Angel says he stopped the Acathla, by "making" Buffy run him through with the sword, saying, "I signaled her with my eyes." (His eyes were closed) 😏

HA!

Of course Giles wouldn't like "passion".

0:55 I love that the shrimp-less world joke made it from one show to the spin-off 😂

[@mialara1]

I just can't get over Angel and Connor singing "Oh Jasmine" hahaha

[@ChocolateTeapot93]

I've seen Angel loads of times but it was only the last time I watched it (a couple of months ago) that I made the shrimp connection. Connor and Angel singing together is still one of my favourite moments.

[@antoniodouglas3493]

That last one...... "What was that?"......"Spike".......sign falls. Never notice it before.

[@beachgirl4583]

Spike first crashed into the sign in "School Hard," but I'm certain he does it in other episodes. "Lover's Walk" is another one.

OmG! I'm a HUGE Buffy fan and wasn't aware of the final Welcome to Sunnydale joke! Thank you!

[@kurtabra4052]

Dawn getting kidnapped should definitely be on there... "Dawn's in trouble. Must be Tuesday."

[@annaholt1655]

great vid! my faves are barry manilow, passions and bunnies

[@myladynoir00]

Ok the sign thing got me. At first I'm like, yeah, it's a good joke, but that literally only happened twice. And then the end 😅...honestly never made that connection. Great video.

[@mrspidey80]

The thing is: I always forget who Tucker was...

[@lumen8341]

prom hellhound guy 😁

I wish I could forget who Andrew was. He was my 2nd least favorite character, after Tara. Andrew was one of the many reasons I won't acknowledge season 7 (except for the last episode).

[@SamanDroid]

Karen Fahel Whaaaaaaaaat. Storyteller was a great episode! I’m with you that Tara’s one of the worst characters. Tara and Riley

[@SwiftDemise242]

I always wished they would've made a joke about Andrew being a vampire in Harmony's gang before he joined the Trio

[@ger5565]

Loved Tara. Andrew, Dawn, and Kennedy were the characters that made me cringe. Even the villains were more likable, except Warren. As much as bad Willow worried me, I enjoyed her final episodes with Warren.

1:47 that moment that reminds you that Anya died😭😭😭

[@Nabelle19]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANYAAAA😭😭😭😭😭
