A lot of people seem to hate Beer Bad, but I kind of like it. Sure, it beats you over the head with its message, but I find it funny. I'm easily amused, though...

I'll give you Gingerbread, though. That's my "It's OK to fall asleep while watching it" episode.

well, yes, it has it moments. In fact the start of beer bad (if i remember...i always skip it) consists of buffy dreaming of the idea of saving Parker from vamps...that was great. But the rest consisted of the crappiest writing known to the buffyverse. It was funny in parts sure, but it was still total crap when considered with every other episode of buffy.

That's fair.
I don't really hate any eps, but there are a few that are painful to watch because of the emotional impact.

"Helpless" because it wrenches me up that Giles would do such a thing - even though he came 'round in the end.

"Hell's Bells" because I feel sooooo bad for Anya. I lose it every time when I see her alone in her dress.

I guess I'm such a Buffy geek that even ones that I get bored with easily have their moments (IRYJ - Jenny C.) (Gingerbread - the witch hunt mentaility) come to mind

"Hell's Bells" is *so* painful to watch.

Yeah those eps are sad. But the sad ones are always my favorite ones for some reason
Some eps that come to mind that I don't really love would be Teacher's Pet, The Pack, Some Assembly Required, Go Fish, Ted (I can't stand him omg!!), Gingerbread, Beer Bad...those are the ones on the top of my head anyways. I can stand to watch them, they're just definetly not some of my favorites.

The Pack!?! one of the high points of S1! *stares in disbelief*

ugh! i hate teachers pet! I always skip that one!
Honestly, Beer Bad is pretty well - bad. It is funny though, it not totally absolutely ridiculous. Also, "Reptile Boy" is def not a top favorite of mine, either.
 
I am surprised noone yet said Empty Places. I am sure i do not have to say why i hate it.
 
Go Fish, Reptile Boy, The Pack, Where the Wild Things Are... I can say some more, let´s just think xD

I think we should say those episodes we think are really BAD, I mean.. I´m not a Bangel but Amends it´s pretty cute, and IWRY too... Now, The Pack, it´s just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad 😀 😀

ya, where the wild things are is just campy and ridiculous
A lot of people don't like The Pack... 🙁 That's my favorite epy...

Now that I think about it, the two I mentioned are really the ONLY Buffy ep's I can't stand watching... I didn't like some Spuffy-centric epy's in S7 my first time through, but I enjoyed them all the 2nd time.
 
I have never particularly enjoyed The Pack, well none of S1 really jumped out at me... what i did find interesting was how so many interviews with cast and crew cite that episode as the one where "they knew they really had something special". I dont think I was enthralled with Buffy until Spike and Dru came along.

There are also a lot of references during normal episodes of Buffy.
The only episode that I just can't watch is TED. I never really liked John Ritter as an actor and the Insane Father Figure thing just didn't work for me at all.

There are a few others that I dislike but can watch. When Riley comes back married in Season 5, YUCH. (and about 50% of all Riley eps grate on me in general but that one - if Riley was a fairly disliked character by most fans then I'd say the wife just needs a swift and painful death)

As You Were was in S6, not S5, and why didn't you like it?
I don't so much hate some eps but I do cringe at some because of the giant cheese and the bad music but thats what I like about it 😀
 
I'm watching this episode as I type this and I must say, it's pretty bad. This has to be the worst episode of the series in my opinion. There are a lot of things that just irk me about it.

1. How is it that the knife wielding man appears as if from nowhere without anybody noticing. He is a big guy. He'd at least make some noise as he's sneaking up on the people. First he sneakes up on the scoobies at the museum, then on Xander and Ampata at the bleachers. How did he manage to sneak up behind them from the top of the bleachers anyway??

2. Ampata has to be the corniest character ever. How is she upset about wanting a normal life? You can't have a normal life, you are a freaking life sucking mummy. The only reason there is a guy with a knife lurking around is because of your existance! And did she really fall in love with Xander in just a day? And how did she age ten years in one visit to the restroom? Did she accidently step into some restroom parrallel universe or something?

3. Xander annoyed me a lot too. He was about to spill the beans about everything to a girl he JUST met. I know he's smarter than that. Buffy should have smacked the crap out of him for that. And the way he was acting towards Willow.... :no:

4. What was up with the Cordelia storyline? I love her and everything but it was just filler. The only useful thing that came out of it was the introduction of Oz. They could have simply left that scene and used all the other Cordelia screen time they used to clean up some of the sloppyness of the storyline. Tell us where Angel is, develop the Xander/Ampata storyline more, or some more mummy explaining scenes.

5. The final fight wasn't much of a fight. She just decomposed. End of story. Kind of anticlimactic.

I'm sorry about being highly critical about this ep but it really bugged me.

And there's my opinion of Inca Mummy Girl. The only ep, I dislike.
 
There are no episodes that I really hate, I think there's something in every episode - no matter if it's pretty weak - to make it stand out from other tv shows.

That said I do have least favourite episodes - such as Teacher's Pet, Inca Mummy Girl and Bad Eggs, amongst others.
 
I love all of them of Buffy, don't hate one.
course ANGEL is another story...

but it is SO HARD for me to watch "Passion" from season 2
of Buffy. I just love Jenny so much. SO HHARD.
