Glory's minions: extraordinary comic relief?

[Anyanka Bunny Slayer]

These twisted little creatures have some of the silliest, yet brilliant lines of dialogue in the show.
As they grovel before Glory, some of the things they utter make me burst out in hysterical giggles. Some of it is so SILLY, and yet, it more than works.
I skipped to S5 and I'm rewinding quite a lot! Does anyone remember the minions' best, most ridiculous lines? Some of it is quite Monty Python-ish. 😀

There are some fun comedy moments with the Minions but all in all I think they are pretty expendable.

I love them - but then, I love everything in S5. Their excessive worshiping manners towards Glory is hilarious, as their fear of her... I don't remember exactly, but there is that scene where one of them is sure Glorificus will him him (her?), and he/she is terrified... but actually, she was reaching for something he/she was holding... 😀

Forgive me, shiny special one, I beg of you to rip out my inadequate tongue.

I hate the minions more than I hate Kennedy and Riley combined - and then I hate them some more. To be honest, I liked Glory in the first watch through, but her charm has warn off.

I LOVE the different names they come up with! 😀

See I have to re-watch some of S5 just to decide on them. I think they add some fun and cheesy comic vaule, and it does make sense than such a mean character as Glory would have them, but yeah after awhile I just seem a bit too cheap and gimmicky.

Love them!

somehow, my first time through S5 I thought they were actually smaller than normal, but on subsequent rewatches, they really aren't. not sure if that is just me or if there was any intent to make them appear little.

anyhow...I love how poor Jinx is still trying to come up with adoring babble while he's squirming in pain after the attack, and his face when Glory keeps referring to his imminent death.

but as far as funniest lines, that actually occurs in a fan fic I read once. Post Glory, turns out one of her minions has been hiding and is starving and looking for protection. he happens upon Buffy and Spike doing the deed and refers to them as your most fornicating ones. That just cracks me up.
