The 'Teaser' is the prologue which consists of the first chapter of each episode that goes from the start until the shows intro credits begin. Usually this segment goes for between 30 seconds and six minutes, although some episodes on the DVD sets do not have a teaser. For this topic the teasers do not include the 'Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. So post your favorite teasers that had you dying to see what happened next.

Mine are:

Prophecy Girl: Xander's "date me" speech, Buffy's slo-mo fall to the ground, The Master's earthquake. ""Yes, yes! Shake, earth! This is a sign. We are in the final days. My time has come! Glory, glory! What do you think? 5.1?"

School Hard - starts with Synder dictating Parent-Teacher night on Buffy and Sheila; then cuts to the three of them, and the girls berate Xander for saying that nothing will happen and he says that it could happen. Then, all of a sudden cuts to Spike crashing into Sunnydale: "Home sweet Home".

Lie to Me: Drusilla and Angel talk in the park and Buffy looks on.

Beer Bad - Buffy's dream about saving Parker's life twice to two different responses from Parker. So hilarious! 😀

The teaser for Buffy vs. Dracula is pretty fantastic. Buffy tosses and turns in bed, unable to get to sleep. She pulls away from Riley, puts on her clothes and goes on the hunt. After a brutal fight with a random vampire she crawls back into bed without ever letting on that she was gone. I think it's a great little scene that foreshadowed her and Riley's demise, as well as her entire journey in season 5.

Conversations With Dead People: "Can I make it right...can I spend the night.....alone". Hands pops out of grave. "Here we go".

But my favorite will probably have to be The Gift. "But you're just a girl?" "That's what I keep saying". Summed up the entire series in two sentences. I loved it.
 
I Robot, You Jane - great introduction for Jenny:

Giles: I'll be back in the middle ages.
Jenny: Did you ever leave?

Prophecy Girl - see the post above.

When She Was Bad - Willow and Xander are just adorable.

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered:

Buffy: Sorry to say, Xand, slaying is a tad more perilous than dating.
Xander: Well, you're obviously not dating Cordelia.

Dopplegängland - Anya complaining about how boring high school is and Willow levitating a pencil then getting upset by Buffy talking about Faith.

New Moon Rising - Willow and Tara discuss getting a cat, then Willow "interprets" the Scooby meeting for Tara. Aww!

Yes! Jenny's introduction was great!
Some episodes on the dvd sets don't have teasers?? Huh? I'm pretty sure that all of mine do...which ones are you thinking of?

I'd definitely have to go with Prophecy Girl as my favorite. It just never gets old. One of my absolute favorite episodes.

When She Was Bad is also an awesome one. "Miss me?"

Surprise: Major foreshadowing, and I'm a huge fan of dream sequences 😀

Innocence: Angel kills woman in alley. Angel exhales woman's smoke.

Passion: Oh so ominous.

Beauty and the Beasts: Willow reads to Oz, Buffy and Faith fight demons/talk about sex, and some guy is ripped to shreds. (we assume that Oz has killed this poor guy...nooo)

Graduation Day Pt. 1: "Ugly" gowns, "The Mayor's delivering the commencement speech!?", Professor Worth is gutted...fun fun fun.

The Harsh Light of Day: Well, I had to know if Willow survived that puppy's vicious attack! 😉

Hush: Definitely a "What the hell??...Show me more." moment.

Doomed: Earthquake!!

This Year's Girl: Oh. snap.

I'm sure there are many more that left me wanting more/that I just loved, but these are my favorites : cheesy :
 
[MENTION=11753]ProphecyGirl65[/MENTION] Oh my bad, I meant to say one episode, Restless. Remember, that cuts straight to the opening credits. 🙂
 
SlayerFest
SlayerFest
oh okay haha I had a feeling that was what you meant, scared me for a sec ;)
I'm going with Conversation With Dead People and The Gift like you 😀
 
I like most of those mentioned above. Especially "Conversations with Dead People."

In addition, "Story Teller" for the sheer laugh value. Andrew pretends he is the host of Masterpiece Theater. Anya tells him "just masturbate like the rest of us."
 
I'm going with Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Mostly because I used to see that every night before I went to sleep 😉
 
My favorite teaser is the one from Anne.

Willow: That's right, big boy. Come and get it. (Just look at my signature)

The rest of the scene is also awesome. Especially Oz' attempt to throw the stake after the vampire 😀
