Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2x11 & 2x12 REACTION | Mom's got a boyfriend and Creepy Crawly Eggs!

[@iannmichael]

John Ritter approached the show to guest star! He was a big fan and wanted to be apart of it. 😊

[@RLucas3000]

Oh my gosh, you cut the line where Buffy said she felt like killing herself! That was a jaw dropper when it aired!

8 simple rules was my entire childhood and i always get emotional about john ritter, what an amazing actor 💕

[@Apex_Gamer_87]

8 Simple Rules was so good and Kaley Cuoco before Big Bang Theory. I remember the 8SR episode where they John Ritters character past away I believe to write him out, it was such an emotional episode.

[@judson9223]

Ted is a nice stand alone. I know every episode uses the monster of the week to explore the characters to some extent. But When She Was Bad (ep 1), Lie To Me (ep 7) and Ted really placing characters first is really a mark of the show maturing and becoming the masterful cultural icon that is studied in universities it is today.

[@ShadowThundercat-u1e]

I really dig both of these episodes, TED becaus it feels like an as afterschool special (and John Ritter is amazing) and BAD EGGS because I agree that it feels like a 50s monster movie. I'm finding that many of the kids who review BUFFY hate these episodes (and they're like 12 so the AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL reference means nothing to them, if you don't know you school ask around, someone old enough to listen to NIRVANA.

[@TheSoulwriter88]

John Ritter could definitely play evil/mean very well. He was such an amazing actor. ❤

[@osurpless]

Looked huge in the shadows when compared to “little” Buffy. Rather intentional likely…

[@afry6400]

I think I prefer him sweet and goofy but yes, definitely does evil/mean very well.

[@TheSoulwriter88]

@@afry6400 yes I agree. I love him in Threes Company. 🥰

[@amynorman2842]

As soon as them saying "that thing" trigger Cody to start singing Lauryn Hill, it confirmed that we'd be best friends. 😂😂

[@spamfilter32]

"Dru was like, no, now I call the shots." Actually, Dru always called the shots. If you go back and look at the scenes with Spike and Dru together, Spike always takes a beat and looks to Dru before he acts. She was always calling the shots. even when she was weak. It is just now, she can do it more directly.

[@coalbeeeee]

SEATED.. TED IS ONE OF MY FAVE EPISODES

[@ruth2141]

BIG points for recognizing John Ritter.

[@davidschmidt1884]

Love your appreciation of the homage to classic horror movies. In the case of 'Bad Eggs', check out 'The Puppet Masters' (1994) an adaptation of Robert Heinlein's 1951 novel of the same name, starring Donald Sutherland, Julie Warner and Eric Thal.

[@scottmartin3862]

Episode 12 reminded me of The Faculty movie and it made me rewatch it again such a brilliant film highly recommended you watch it guys great reaction and video guys keep up the fantastic work

[@LordVolkov]

Really surprised there aren't more reactions to The Faculty. Robert Rodriguez will get some traction one day😅

[@youvegotmol]

Charisma Carpenter said she still has the bear backpack from the bad egg episode 🥚🐻 you guys should listen to her episode on the inside of you podcast.

[@ThiagoDragon]

I grew up watching the Problem Child movies too. I always say John Ritter was the perfect casting, he had the good guy/dad vibe and it worked because Buffy was the only one noticing something was wrong with Ted.

[@klarsen117]

I'm so glad I found your channel, Buffy has been one of my favorite shows since it first aired

[@ashleym780]

My quarantine obsession was watching this old Australian man make cheese. It was a weird time

Not ready for next week😭

[@GemnEyes]

Love that you guys picked up on that cut away of the tombstone...;) It's so hard waiting every week for these! I'm not really a Charmed fan (Charmed fans don't come for me!) so I'm like MOAR BUFFAY. When you know what's coming and I have to see your reactions to it!

[@bugsby4663]

Being British, I had no idea who John Ritter was so to me he is always Ted. Ted is a deeply disturbing episode and thanks to the acting skill of SMG and the direction, takes what could easily have been silly to very dark.

[@CaptNondescript]

Oh god the next run of epsiodes is... wow get ready

[@michonneokoye4990]

The John Ritter episode reminds me of the movies 'The Stepfather'. He does an excellent job at creepy!

[@invadertifxiii]

a lot of people dont like bad eggs but i love it

[@globetrekkerfromCA]

Seeing that there's a new Horror Bandwagon Buffy reaction video might be the highlight of my week.

[@spamfilter32]

Before the kissing scenes in this episode (12) between SMG and David Boreanaz, they scarfed down on raw onions and garlic to see who could gross out the other the most.

[@MyGoldenShadows]

I can't wait for next week's episodes!!!

[@gacchan]

These two are some great creature feature. And I love John Ritter as Ted, so creepy!!! But oh man I am SEATED for next week and the upcoming eps, are my favvesssss.

[@heleni0]

I was going through some shit at home when Ted first aired and I gotta say, I felt SEEN by Buffy. Buffy Summers, vampire slayer extraordinaire understands me. So I loved this episode. It genuinely helped me cope. I had no idea so many people considered it a bad one for years. I'll always have a soft spot for it.

[@menty6633]

I was also shocked to find out that this was considered a dud episode by so many in the fandom. It's a fantastic episode and John Ritter is brilliant in this.

[@williambowman1660]

@@menty6633It’s not a dud episode. The early shows get retrospective grief because of the increase of the quality of the show, topics, and mature themes. Most all of the naysayers did not watch this when it aired. The folks now, most binged watched, can not understand how the show was talking to us. My friends and I thought having a popular John Ritter play an abusive stepfather was chilling and great. 2 girls I knew confided to me that they had a stepfather that in public was supportive but in private told them they were spoiled and nothing special. The internet viewers can’t get that. The reaction to Bad Eggs was okay but everyone thought the red neck Vampires were the best.

[@menty6633]

@@williambowman1660 I am an old school Buffy fan. I started watching around the middle of season 1 in 1997. I've always liked this one, but it does get a very mixed response from the fandom. Whether that is because binge watching the show so many years after the fact is a factor, I don't know. Could be. I've found there to be some wild swings of opinion when it comes to Buffy in general, and there are many pockets of the fandom that hunker down on opinions or ships that I find puzzling.

[@williambowman1660]

@@menty6633 Yes. Seems that for some to be a Buffy fan is to show your intellectual superiority by dismissing some of the episodes Then group think takes over and opinions are formed for no apparent reason.Oh well!! Now what guy is the right one for Buffy… avoid that one at all costs

[@ScientificallyStupid]

Ted Bundy was executed in 1989 (but I love the idea of Ted being a reincarnation of him)

[@thomasbeauchamp3781]

Every once in a while, you get a unique vampire. And the Gorch brothers are two of them!

[@AustinSamson1999]

Cody just gained mega respect points for referencing Avatar the last airbender in the beggining of this video 🤣 ATLA and Buffy are legit ties as my two favorite shows EVER so seeing that mini crossover from him gave me such joy😭🙌

[@davidstenow5055]

The Ted episode would have been SO dark and scary if he was just a human haha

[@invadertifxiii]

u know in hindsight i see similarities with buffy and faith when she first appeared

[@Itsjandz105]

The monster in bad eggs is really creepy. Very cool.

[@invadertifxiii]

omg watching this after watching your season 3 bad girls and consequences reactions is crazy in regards to to slayer watcher clean up comments

OMG during Covid, I watched Bongo Cat (animated cat covering songs on random instruments) and that dude covering songs using a rubber chicken. 😭😭😂😂😂😂 Covid was a weird time for people hahah.

[@spamfilter32]

John Ritter's character on Three's Company was a chef, so the food thing is a reference to that.

[@LordVolkov]

RIP to John Ritter. He's pretty creepy here as villain of the week Ted. You may want to check him out in Stay Tuned, a 90s horror comedy.

I look so forward to fridays and Saturday’s so I can watch you guys watch buffy and charmed . I love you two ❤

[@spamfilter32]

Notice the overalls Buffy wears the day after she "kills" Ted. They are very out of character for her. Sudden change of clothes, cutting of hair, pushing away friends and family, being withdrawn and sullen, threats of suicide... all are signs of depression. Buffy has exhibited all of these traits at various times throughout the 1st 2 seasons so far.

[@spellhex6213]

I LIVEEE FOR THE AVATAR MENTION

[@williambowman1660]

Quick history lesson The decision had been made to move Buffy from Monday night to Tuesday. At this time the WB had no programming on Tuesday and Buffy has not been on for even a year. The move was to be the second week in January. Whedon knew he had to do something to get his audience to want to move and stay. Bad Eggs was the last stand alone Monday show. The next one you watch, Surprise, was the last Monday and the next, Innocence was the Tuesday premiere. I’m telling you this to understand why the next 2 episodes are written and produced the way you watch. For a monetary reason they are 2 of the most important episodes of the series. If the move had failed, Buffy might not have lasted and the network would not have given the leeway that he earned. The next 5 wonderful, trailblazing, and great seasons happened mostly due to the next 2 and then the final 8 episodes. Enjoy the journey

[@billkarnes948]

Just curious (before you get there), were you thinking about alternating episodes of Buffy and Angel after season 3, in release order? Especially season 1 of Angel.

[@xyex]

We had a robot baby that cried randomly and we had to insert a key into it to make it stop. Me, being an over achiever, opted for the full weekend bonus points. That sucked.

Relationship trauma for all 😭 AND…that’s why I’m single 😂 Giles & Jenny 💚 The graveyard make-outs tho 🖤 Not the body snatching. Really enjoyed the villains/threats in these eps. Great reactions y’all 🙃

[@corgiluver9718]

Enjoy Ted especially with John Ritter and seeing how Buffy would react to taking a life. As for Bad Eggs, a kind of Alien meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers mashup, it is probably my least favorite episode of all 7 seasons although parts are nicely creepy and the Scoobies are always enjoyable.

[@Buffy8Fan]

2X11 Announces what Ted is three times before the reveal 2x12 Buffy says the most laughable line, to me, about her relationship with Angel. "When I look into the future, all I see is you." She's in high school. That line just shows me she has no clue, but thinks she does, as all kids that age think.

[@guilainefeutchine886]

Exactly, I said to my first love and I was really see the future with him but... fist love is first love

[@Crinbo]

If it makes you feel better, Bad Eggs is widely considered like a bottom 3 episode of the show

[@TheMacerica]

Ted isn't generally a fan favorite, but it's one of mine just because John Ritter was so good... amazingly creepy and horrible! 12 I generally skip lol

[@Buckaroo_Baldwin]

I remember it being well received among fans mostly because John Ritter was playing the villain, and played him well.

[@Talisguy]

"He's gonna have a ton of bruises." It's a moot point anyway since he turns out to be a robot, but would he? Bruises require blood flow and he "died" maybe a minute after the fight started. Would that be enough time to bruise? Anyone who knows more about pathology than I do, feel free to answer.

[@valeriem.8112]

Bad eggs is SUCH a filler episode lol

[@kilian-one-l]

Ted is a great episode, and Bad Eggs is one of my least favorite in the entire show lmao

[@erichunter7649]

I think Bad Eggs is the worst episode of the series. The Monster-of-the-Week had no relevance to the High School Is Hell metaphor, and there was no memorable dialogue.

[@SarahTheBloody]

Bad Eggs is the worst episode of the whole series, I always skip it when doing a Rewatch. Can't wait to see your reactions to the upcoming episodes :D

[@migmit]

Nnno. Go Fish is way worse. So are Teacher's Pet and I Robot, You Jane.

[@SarahTheBloody]

@@migmit But Go Fish is funny at least, Teacher's Pet too. But I Robot, You Jane is in the same league as Bad Eggs. So so bad.
