The Worst Buffy Moments!!
- Thread starter DXY
- Start date
Hmm.. The stunt double in the first episode of season 2 was WAYYYY too good, and they focused on her for too long during the training montage. Soft little SMG doesn't move like that in the least, brown-belt or no.
And yeah, the computer scenes in general are a little painful, especially if you know anything about computing. The writers definately have no clue about computers beyond Word-processing and internet. I did get a laugh when they resorted to name dropping in Ted. 'Without the DMA upgrade your computer is only half a rocket-ship' lol.

Not sure if this is a spoiler to those who haven't seen season seven...

The Ubervamp had me laughing and I think I've said on here before I can't make up my mind wether he's camp or just really needs the toilet, the way he moves is just too funny to be taken seriously.
And when The One vanishes. It just looks soooo tacky. It looked really impressive the first time when the face went all strange, lol. But after that it just looked pretty bad.
I like season seven tho 😀

I didn't care much for those First Evil as comedy relief scenes in Season 7.
My personal "Worst Episodes" list would go like this.
# 6 Puppet Show -- How does a wooden puppet grab a knife, anyways?
# 5 Ted -- I don't like robots in the buffyverse either. Strangely enough though, the buffy-bot is one of my favourite characters.
# 4 The Harsh Light of Day -- Introduces the concept of Buffy as brainless bimbo with the whole Parker thing.
# 3 Beer Bad -- maybe, but not as bad as this ep.
# 2 Doublemeat Palace -- I'd rather choke down one of their chicken-veggie-beef burgers than watch this one again.
# 1 (with a bullet) Him -- Inane, ludicrous, silly, just plain dumb. Pick one.

I'm going to have to go with "Buffy vs. Dracula." Far too silly, even for Buffy. No real sense of a threat, and Dracula himself was an uninspired magazine model-looking joke.
For the record, "Ted" was one of the first episodes I ever saw, and I thought it was really interesting - until he was revealed to be a robot. I still liked it, but as someone who wasn't really familiar with the Buffyverse, I was still fascinated by the concept of what would happen if a young girl in those circumstances (slaying vampires, fighting crime, etc.) had a stepfather who was like that, discovered her secret, and then she accidentally killed him. I don't know, just another tossing of two cents.

I think some of the scenes in 'Where the Wild Things Are' were pretty cringeworthy, I thought the episode had some good lines but the storyline was just bad.
I think there have been some really cheesy lines in some of the eps as well but i like them for the cringe factor.
eg in The Gift when Xander hits Glory with the wrecking ball he says 'Glorified Brick layer picks up a spare' - who is he talking to? it just seemed a bit strange to me.

Okay...nobody mentioned:
"BEER BAD!"
I mean what were they thinking?
And leave "Doublemeat Palace" alone! Great episode....C'mon we've all eat at those places....
WILLOW: We tried. Buffy was gonna go in there and bust them on the spot.
XANDER: I'm sensing a 'not so completely.'
WILLOW: Yeah, well, she went in, and then-
ANYA: Speaking of Buffy, isn't she ready? She's gonna be late for her first day.
WILLOW: Hey, respect the narrative flow much?
ANYA: Please continue the story of failure.
AND
ANYA: Well, time is running very short. After Willow gave us the 'whoosh' engagement party, I got slack on the planning 'cause I figured she'd help, but, well, now that's all been blown to hell.
WILLOW: Hey, standing right here! Standing right exactly here.

I must be the only person who actually pretty much liked this episode! The storyline was dodgy, I know but I thought cave-buffy was just so funny when she was spinning round and round on the chair and then fell off and when the jukebox was on and she was like 'It sings!Like it!'. I thought it was a funny ep but not the best storyline.

i liked beer bad alright not the best ep but by nu means the worst.
Any way worst thing about the show lets see .... *tries to think of something to anger the masses cause i'm in that sort of mood* ..... Oz deffently the worse part of the show.

I guess least favorite is As You Were, I think they made it look too much like it was all Buffy's fault they broke up, and not his, plus I couldn't stand his wife Sam, and I didnt' like the silly demon eggs Doc thing with Spike, it seemed so contrived just for that episode, I also didn't like the ending pep talk
I love Ted!

Silly me, I can't really think of a least favorite. And I'm not being PC. I've seen Ted, Superstar, Beer Bad and some others mentioned. I liked those eps. Still thinking now. Riley and the Initiative were never favorites, so perhaps something in that story arc? Something specific? Aaahhh. Just dunno.

I dislike Ted for several reasons... the fact that Buff's mum didnt really care that she killed Ted and also that Joyce werent scared when Ted came back... I hated Teds voice aswell!

I don't particularly not like Beer Bad and Doublemeat Palace. They're both good in their own little way.
An episode I hated was 'Superstar'. It could've been a much much better episode if it wasn't that midget brainless pratt Jonathan. I have hated him ever since the beginning and to see him being all big-head, being better than Buffy, acting all as though he was the boss, just annoyed to death. I literally cannot watch that episode without cringing and shouting at the tv in anger.
There are also lots of Season 5 and Season 6 episodes that I don't find re-watchable. I didn't particularly like either of those seasons. Season 5, didn't particularly like in the first place, but season 6 I liked at first, but have gone off it now.
