With all the season 8 and werewolves talk, I started thinking to myself: "there are some really silly things on Buffy!" Like, ridiculous things, many of them we see in the comics. But this thread isn't about the comics. It's about the TV seasons. Things we actually saw on Buffy.

What are the most silly things we've seen on BtVS/Ats?
 
The freaking lunch lady's stunt double in Earshot. I laugh whenever I think about it. Haha seriously...that was the most ridiculous moment in television history hahah okay, I'm being a tad dramatic. Um...I guess when the demon that Willow someone summoned in Wrecked, when it does this weird neck roll thing ahaha I watched that with my friend once and we put in on a loop.

I'm easily amused.

Haha yes!
Spike was by far the silliest most ridiculous thing on the show. And the dummy in The Puppet Show was pretty silly it's kinda weird watching that episode I think, I know there's a lot of other things that I pick up on while I watch the show but I can't think of right now..

Can you explain why exactly you think Spike was silly?
 
his hair, clothes, attitude, name, the things he says..

See, the things you said are the reasons why he's so popular, among the other things. They also make him hot to so many people (including straight guys, I know for a fact). There's a reason why he's the most popular character on the verse ever, why people like him so much. Most people don't find him ridiculous, that's why I think it's interesting what you say, that the things that you find silly are the things that make so many people be attracted, not only to the guy but also to the character.

My view on those things: the things above make him different, not like other guys. He's not a boring character, he doesn't look boring, he doesn't talk boring, he doesn't have a regular name. I mean, isn't it silly that Angel has a girl's name? Isn't his hair silly (or are they just keep saying it, even Angel himself?)? His brooding? Who broods? You know, if we're comparing here, just for fun.

I'm really interested to know, because in cases like this, I always want to make sure that what's said isn't said out of hate for the character (or a couple, or an episode, or anything else for that matter), which is okay to not like who others like (even if they're the most popular character. I mean, I hate Faith who's very popular, but I think she's amazingly written and incredibly deep, I took the time to analyze her character and understand her better. Doesn't mean I like her, but I know she's a very good character). What I'm trying to say, sometimes it seems to me that people let their hate for something affect their judgment. And I'm not talking about you, just in general.
If you still believe that what you're saying is true, it's completely fine, that's your opinion. And I'm in no way attacking you or anything, I really wanna make sure and know what’s this really about.

Again, don't see that as an attack, this is me being curious 🙂

I thought Adam was pretty silly and I had a hard time taking him seriously as a 'big bad' and the loan shark of course was silly (but I'll admit that I find that hilarious, ridiculous, but oh so funny at the same time 🙂)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Adam was ridiculous :p
This is actually on Angel, but I think it's the most ridiculous thing in the entire Whedonverse: the talking hamburger. I sat there looking at the screen like.....why the frac is this happening?

I just re-watched that episode yesterday, and that burger part is terrible. The whole episode was very dark and then boom out of nowhere a giant talking hamburger.

Lol, nooo, that's just pure awesome! 😀 It's so funny 😉
 
Oh yeah, I always thought that Marcie in 'Out of mind, Out of Sight' was pretty ridiculous. It was well written, I just struggled to take her seriously for some reason.
 
Loads of things were silly and/or ridiculous. Off the top of my head; Spike (S4 onward), Harmony, the loan shark, the Trio (especially the fact that it took Buffy so long to figure them out), Dawn's transformations in s8, Warren in s8, The Annointed One and Ted.

Ted may have been silly generally but John Ritter did an awesome job.

The shark head demon. Full stop.

Also, Glory's scabrous hobbit minions come to mind. Heck, make that makeup & effects in S5, in general. Not my fave season... has a "cheap" look to it that's not present with the rest of post-S1 seasons.
 
The vampires from texas were prerty ridiculous. I think their names were lyle and gorch. I cant see what im typing right now because my phone is being weird x]
 
Ted was awful. Warren's sex-bot wasn't better... I get that she was sad at the end and she was okay at the time, but up until then she was just a pain to watch...
