I thought it was hilarious when Xander asks Buffy to leave and
She smacks him and says "SAY BYE!". I could not stop laughing! :nod:
 
I am watching the chosen collection and actually just got done watching that episode. It had it's funny moments, but it wasn't one of my favs.

They did it for extra funding to coincide with a 'Propagate that drinking is bad' campaign. They didn't get the funding, but that's the reason why the episode was off-beat with the storyline. Though it was still a very funny episode, and it had that Buffy quirkiness. Plus, it was one of the more associable metaphors of the show.

May I ask what your source is for that information?
Was it a WB PSA or a nation-wide effort?

I think it was just ok. I agree that it didnt feel anything like a buffy episode, though. I did find i pretty funny when they se her writing on the walls. But yeah, its a bit hard to get through.

Why did Xander need a fake ID to get the bartending job? It's 18 to be a bartender here in NYC (just can't drink the stuff, thats all). Is it different in cali? Because i thought he was 18 already.

And why is everyone so down on reptile boy? it was a fun episode. Not to get off topic. Silly but that's why i love it. Especially the whole Xander in drag thing!

And my god i hate Parker. He was such an annoying character. ugh!

Yeah, in Cali you have to be 21 to be a bartender.
 
My favourite moment on the whole episode... And it's so simple too lol... When she steals the sandwich from a random student, and eats it!
 
I thought the episode was funny. The cave man talk cracked me up. I think it is good to lighten things up once in awhile with a fun episode. It had no point to it but it was funny to watch.
 
This ep seems to be one of the most disliked but I think its really funny actually. The premise is mayb kinda silly and mundane but I think the dialogue and the actors' delivery is what makes it great. I crack up way too much for me to hate it.

Giles: I can't belive you served Buffy that beer.
Xander: I didn't know it was evil!
Giles: You knew it was beer!

Willow psyching Parker out was just awesome! "Just how gullible do you think I am?!" hee

Xander: Let's see, I'll take this one, and this one. And you know I've always had a problem calculating the tip and you guys being so dapper and brain, maybe you can help me out. Okay great. See if your bill comes to thirty-eight dollars and people tip what, approximately thirty percent? That makes you tip what? (One of the guys gives him
all the money). You are so smart. This is so the right amount.

Right there, Xander was my hero! I'm a server and oh how I wish I could pull that off! 🙂
 
I just watched it, and I just crack in the end.
Those feet on the window, and Buffy just going "wanna join"
 
This was soo funny episode... The way they spoke, also when Buffy gave a kick on Parker's head, oh and Buffy in that chair, great moment xD. My brother & I enjoyed this episode really very much.
 
Xander: I cut you off
Buffy: (pregnant beat) did it hurt?

great epi.. the Thomas Aquinas bit was almost a mirror image to conversations I have had.
 
I agree with Airam. It is really the silliest episode i think, but thanks to the great acting and stuff it's still fun to watch. I also liked how you can clearly see how much they are all enjoying themselves, being cavemen (and woman)

And ah, remember Giles' great description of Buffy, when he's looking for her, I dont remember exactly but it was something like: 'She has a sort of limp' *walks like a caveman*
 
Not a classic by any means, but people are way too hard on this episode. It's okay. There are definitely worse episodes. Probably 3 or 4 worse episodes than this in season one. And I agree with an earlier poster who mentioned "Buffy Versus Dracula." The first time I saw that episode, I thought the series had completely lost its way. Thankfully, it bounced back quickly. But back to "Beer Bad", I agree that the metaphor in this episode was kind of obvious/preachy/overdone, but it was still an entertaining enough episode.
 
I kinda like this episode.
It is quite silly but it has some hilarious moments. Caveslayer is lovely and very watchable.

The reason it works though is because it is different and not your usual episode.
If this would be a typical episode I would be fed up with Buffy pretty quick.
So I am glad they didn't do that many of these kind of stories, there are a few thorughout the series but not that many which is all good.

/SK
 
I honestly didn't really like this episode either. It seemed a bit silly. The only part that really made me giggle was Xander trying to impress Willow and Buffy with his bartending skills (his lighter, his rag and his empathy face).
 
It's a particulary bad episode, almsot as bad as Where The Wild Things Are. The season def could have done without it. The writer must have drank too much beer one night and turned into a caveman and thought, hmm, this would make a good Buffy episode.

Blah.
 
Beer Bad was one of my favorite episodes of Season 4. I think Joss and crew are brilliant for getting their morals out there so subtly (Don't drink alcohol in excess... It turns you into a slobbery, bibbling idiot. LOL)...
I was so happy when I realized that Parker wasn't getting to Willow... She totally turned it around on him and I loved it. 🙂 And Buffy bonking him on the head at the end was classic. You go girl! 😀
 
Xander: Noting can defeat the penis! *snorts geeky*

Willow: I'm pregnant by my step-brother who'd rather be with my best friend and who's left me with no place to live, no food, except for this bottle of Wild Turkey, which I drank all up. That's me being tanked and friendless for ya.

Buffy: I'm suffering the afterness of a bad night of... badness.
Willow: You didn't. Not with Parker again.
Buffy: No. with four really smart guys.
Willow: Four? Oh... ow. Oh, Buffy, are you OK? Do you want to talk about it?
Buffy: I went to see Xander. Then I saw Parker. Then came... beer.
Willow: And then group sex?

X: Beer bad. Bad, bad beer. What the hell am I saying? Buffy, go home... and go to bed.
B: Say 'bye. *pushes Xander*
X: Bye.
B: Bye.

LMFAO!! I forgot about the penis line!!!! Thanks for that; I needed that laugh today!
This episode is in my opinion the worst moment in the whole Buffyverse , the only good moment was Buffy hitting Parker. SMG moaned abot the Doublemeat Palace outfit , but they must have really got her drunk to make her look and act like a cavewoman and as for her hair..... She really must have been so happy with the result!!!!
