Here we go! Best episode of Buffy ever?
it is!!
Heck no, Beer Bad is soooo much better! /s. 😂 (You are not wrong.)
Absolutely!
I hate ALL musicals ... except for the Sound of Music and this episode. 😆
"Best" is debatable, but certainly the most re-watchable and Iconic.
Fun fact: ever since seeing this episode when it first came out my brain randomly several times a year sings ‘they got the mustard off’ 😅
My brain always singings 'where do we go from here' whenever anyone says that lol. Dakara's previous reactions to show she's said this and I always get that song in my head haha
@@PurpleNurpleReviews Lol, yes- that line is another one that gets stuck in my brain !!!
Staff writer David Fury played the mustard stain guy.
"out!"
For a few years after this came out, whenever my family or friends annoy me I would sing a couple of verses of Let me rest in peace.😜
"Is this another silent episode?"
Oh poor sweet summer child.
If someone made a full length "it must be bunnies" song, I'd listen to that on a loop. Lol
Yeah, Amber Benson's singing was a surprise. She's amazing, probably my favorite singer on the show. Like, I knew James Marsters and Anthony Stewart Head could sing, but her talent was totally unexpected.
Have you seen the 25th anniversary of The Rocky Horror ... here on YT ?
There are 2 songs: one sang by ASH as Frank Further in stilettos and the other one is sang by ASH and Amber Benson.
Worth the watch, believe me.
The fact that you got to this point without being spoiled for this episode is amazing in itself. A lot of shows that do musical episodes never get it right, and it offers very little to the plot. This however is the exception. Not only is this an innovative episode in term of plot and foreshadowing, it's a damn good 'musical'. The songs are really good and well structured, and just work so well in the episode. There is also great comedy in the episode with the lyrics. Of course the massive reveal for the group is Buffy telling them she was dragged out of Heaven, Spike already knew this of course, and then Dawn repeats to Buffy 'the hardest thing in this world is to live in it' the exact words Buffy said to Dawn in The Gift S5 Finale. Spike getting fed up with singing is very funny towards the end, but what an ending when Buffy follows him. It was brilliantly done, and now with Buffy and Spike kissing, the whole direction of the show takes a strange turn with some brilliant, but disturbing episodes to follow. Love the reaction again. This really was a brilliant episode, Lorne from Angel would have loved this.
"The fact that you got to this point without being spoiled for this episode is amazing in itself." I don't know about that. I've been seeing a lot of Buffy reactions lately, seems like it's a major rule in the fandom: as much as people love this episode, we do not talk about this episode with people who haven't seen it!
This is your reward for making it through "The Body" episode of season five.
Did i go out and buy the soundtrack and an Anthony Head album after this episode originally aired, yes I did. Have I, in my 40s attended a live sing along Once More with Feeling night, yes. Do I blast Rest In Peace, Going Through the Motions and Walk Through The Fire as I clean my home, again yes.
I love the way the songs are plot appropriate and interwoven beautifully in the story arc of the season. TV gold.
How do I attend a Once More with Feeling live sing along 😭
@GoodbyeNameless it was at a place called Fab Café- super fun. Honestly I'm shocked there wasn't one organised for the Slayers tour!
Hinton Battle, who played the demon, Sweet in this episode passed away recently. He won three Tonys as Featured Actors in the musicals Chicago, Ragtime (apparently a single Tony for both), The Tap Dance Kid, & Miss Saigon.
The idea for this musical came about in part due to the fact that the actors would come over to Whedon's house on the weekends and would often sing while there.
Buffy's songs are heartbreaking when you know the lyrics.
Gosh, Tara's dress in the park never gets old. Absolutely gorgeous
I like the fact that Giles’ first theory was exactly right straight off the bat and then completely ignored. Lol
Not only ignored, but immediately dismissed by Giles himself.
Im SO happy its a two part reaction for this one! The apex of musical episodes. I love how this episode moves plot, is self aware of the songs, are all originals and packs a punch all while being fun and goofy. So much happens here. And its so fun reactors get to watch this withou knowing its a musical
Other shows musical episodes just dont hit the same as this one
This is a fun episode. Tony, James, and Amber are the best singers out of the main cast.
This isn't the first musical episode for a normal TV show. "The Simpsons" and "Xena" have done musical episodes before this, but Buffy's musical episode is probably the most enduring in TV history. There have been Off-Off Broadway productions of it since its airing.
Staff writers David Fury and Marti Noxon appear as the mustard stain guy and fire hydrant lady (What was that about not wearing any underwear?).
Three-time Tony Award winner Hinton Battle, who played the demon Sweet, passed away recently.
Tony, James and Amber were the only ones with any experience singing professionally, so it makes sense that they were such good singers in this episode.
Emma Caufield sings very well too, which is why she was part of Buffy's "backup."
@@ronfehr7899 it's not only the experience, some just don't have a good enough voice, that's the point
This is my all time fave episode of the show, it’s so well written and perfectly crafted. Each song is a banger and stands well as just good songs on their own. But the way it plays into the overall plot is great too so it’s not just a filler episode
Shoutout especially to Anthony Head, Amber Benson and James Marsters who are so good. Big credit to SMG for giving it her all too. Emma is also really good and her harmonising with Nicholas sounds really good. The guy who plays Sweet has such a great voice too
To tell you the truth, my first tv musical was Xena: The Warrior Princess and then Buffy. Xena's episode came out in 1998 while this Buffy episode came out on 2001.
I don't know if there was a tv musical episode before Xena. But I'll tell you what, Nicholas Brendon has sung his parts at those meet and greet conventions. Sometimes they even hold a screen viewing of the episode to gather around with friends and cast members to sing along together.
I don't know if they still do that cuz Nicholas was the one who would initiate it or be down for a quick singing session lol. Everyone else gets shy or say they don't feel comfortable singing cuz they don't think they sound great.
Hated Bitter suite. At first but it grew on me. Even the Marge Simpson like voice of the Pomeranian or whatever it was.
@@trunksGav I seriously need to go back and watch Xena cuz that was my show back in the day before Buffy stepped onto the scene. I just found out Xena's on Amazon Prime. Yes! Calisto and Ares were my favorite villains. But it's been awhile since I've seen the multiple musical episodes on Xena.
There was a very short lived musical series called Cop Rock that aired in 1990 with 11 episodes.
@@trunksGav The soundtrack has actually been officially uploaded. "Hearts Are Hurting" parts 1 & 2 are still showstoppers!
Seeing a reaction of this, while I saw it live on TV and recorded it on VHS makes me feel old!^^
of the show's writers, David Fury and Marti Noxon, have small singing parts. Fury can be seen singing "They Got the Mustard Out" outside the magic shop when Buffy checks to see if other people are singing. Noxon sings about a parking ticket ("I think that hydrant wasn't there") while Giles, Xander, and Anya are walking on the street after Xander and Anya's duet.
Yep. Fury even did a making of. Noxon was actually the day to day boss that year.
And the choreographers were dancing together just before the three street sweepers..
And lastly Marti lets the parking cop know that she's not wearing underwear. 🥰👏
The actor who played the main antagonist in this episode recently passed away. I believe he passed away about a week or so ago.
Hinton Battle, a very talented singer/dancer…sorry to hear that..
I just walked around the park they filmed Tara’s song 😊
Was the creek running? In the dvd extras they said they had to go through some ordeal to get the water turned on so it would be flowing for the filming..
Spike tries to hurry Buffy out so he doesn’t sing is hilarious
That was very brave, taking a sip during Anya's rock bunny moment. I always laugh during it.
3:21 "What with all the carrots"
IIRC, the myth about carrots being good for eyesight was perpetrated by the British to explain how they were getting early warnings of approaching bombers. (The actual reason was the invention of radar but that was obviously classified).
5:58 "Don' forget the plete." Classic! LOL
RIP Hinton Battle (Sweet)
I still sing along every time.
Can't even help myself.
On my first watch I IMMEDIATELY had to watch it again to sing along.
Definitely one of the best episodes of Buffy.
Not only driving the plot forward, plenty of character development but ALSO just a banger after banger of tunes.
I STILL have Rest In Piece on playlists to this day.
The whole cast did a stellar job, though I wish Michelle Trachtenberg had felt more confidence to sing, I think her voice was lovely. And SMG was stellar, despite lacking the confidence in herself. (having three exceptional singers can't have helped, knowing that she'd STILL have to carry the performance as our protagonist)
Certainly ONE of the first musical episodes of TV. Watching Buffy reactions I learned that Xena had a musical episode (that I still haven't watched despite being a HUGE fan of the show as a kid... it awaits on my "to be watched" list along with a growing pile of new shows :P)
It definitely set a standard that I do not think has been met to this day.
You can also try out Whedon's OTHER musical show Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog.
It's not as good, but you WILL love it.
I love this episode so much! I think I know every song word perfect. I also love that the songs advance the plot and force characters to reveal the secrets they have been avoiding talking about; unlike a lot of more modern musical episodes where it is just a gimmick that is never acknowledged in the greater storyline and may as well never have happened
It's the little things like "Nothing seems to penetrate my..." stabs vampire "...heart." or "I think this line's mostly filler." that make this episode so damn excellent.
I’m glad you’re able to appreciate this episode because the music, humor, and story progression is so fantastic. Most reactors love this episode. But I’ve had a couple reactions that were soured because they really don’t accept musical episodes or they found amateurs singing so painful.
I, on the other hand bought the music and listen to it occasionally.
I guess that led to me having a moment of trepidation until I knew whether you’d enjoy it
When they did the musical episode of Star Trek, they mentioned bunnies as a possible suspect as the cause. I loved that.
I have the Soundtrack CD in my car! Love it
And I have to reiterate: I just .... LOVE Amber Benson!! 😍😍😍😭
She's a golden treasure.
People on YT that react and have hate for this episode have never seen the series so they can't understand WHY this episode is so important in the series. Buffy's final song at the Bronze when she throws shade at Willow is next level story building but you wouldn't really understand that unless you saw Buffy's struggles/why she died and why it was morally ambiguous when Willow and the group decided to resurrect her *assuming* she was in a hell dimension instead of being rewarded by the Powers That Be for her cosmic sacrifice
This is the one I wanted to see your reaction to
I physically could not have clicked on this video any faster
Just so you know, there were no voice overs done in this episode. All of the singing is done by the actual actors
Who hasn't been waiting for this one...
8:00 The woman singing about the partking ticket is the producer, the three guys with the brooms were the dance choreograpers.
The three guys were also Sweet's dummy faced goons as well as the two vampires and demon dancing in the opening sequence.
@@devilcat9843I never noticed that, thanks.
No..the couple dancing before the street sweepers were the choreographers..the street sweepers are just dancers..
Well, I don't know if this was the "FIRST" musical episode of a tv show ever, I mean probably not. I just know, it was the BEST! 😅 And after this came out, a lot more tried doing it, too. I know, Scrubs made a musical episode after this and a few other shows, too.
Just for clarity, concerning popularity: "Walk Through The Fire" even became the #1 Single after this aired in GERMANY!! 😅🤭
Seriously! I bought the cd myself, too....
5:11 Yes, all of the actors did their own singing in this episode. 👍
No, not the first musical episode by quite a way (the first I personally saw was "The Bitter Suite" from S3 of "Xena: Warrior Princess", a few years before OMWF) but still one of the best IMO and along with Xena, surely a big reason it became a bit of a trend at one point (especially in genre TV).
(the 'Xena...' ep is a lot of fun - and like OMWF, genuinely moves the characters/story forward - but they arguably "cheated" a bit because only some of the cast sang their parts, others had "voice doubles". Not everyone on this episode full-on sings - Aly Hannigan only really has a couple of lines for instance - but everyone _actually_ sings their part)
Xena just went the Disney route where certain singing parts are often done by other performers.
Regarding 8:55 cheekbones. At some point James and Whedon had a talk where James gave Whedon a compliment about his talent and said that he would like to have such too. And Whedon replied that James has these cheekbones and that should be enough. Like this is only about his looks, that's the only thing he can provide. It also reminds me of how some men treat beautiful girls the same way. They see only their face and body. Like it's not even a person but a beautiful toy.
7:45 Yeah have you forgetten what she did for a thousand years? She was called only when a man misstreated a woman, and was the one who visited vengeance on them.
Or when a woman DECIDED (or felt) she had been mistreated.
Remember Triangle? After she's been called by the same girl a few times... MAYBE she has something to do with the problem too! (I always liked that little nod to both real life complexity, but ALSO the hypocrisy of vengeance demons. Such a pithy, funny line, but does a lot of work :P)
@@DmGray Sure but that's not how Anya will have seen it.
Amber and Anthony REALLY stood out as exceptional singers. Sadly Alyson didn't want to sing, so she never has a solo.
FINALLY!!! You're here!
Not the first musical episode. Xena Warrior Princess did one. The episode name was The Bitter Suite
5:57 The ADJECTIVE! 😅
Not the verb....
Although, I actually think maybe Tara really didn't float there....
Maybe that was some sort of metaphore.... 🤔🤭
Woohoo! Here we go! So glad you are doing multiple parts, well deserved!
Gonna circle back and watch all of these Buffy & Angels Reactions, but I can't pass up this Absolute Classic fresh off the presses. Was never a particular fan of Musicals, but this changed my mind. I'd also highly recommend "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" (also by Joss Whedon).
Cheers and Salutations from Canada. 🥃☮❤
5:00 Tara was solid character before, but this sent her stock skyrocketing. 🥰
And so begins one of the best eps of the series.... Can't wait to hear what you think (and perhaps you'll treat us to a little tune as I know that you have a nice voice, D)..... On to part 2! a CTU here and keep em coming!
Yeah that is Amber Benson singing the song about Willow for real
Whoops I commented on the second part first.
It's such a great episode. Proper Buffy.
5:57 The ADJECTIVE!! 😅
Not the verb!.... 🙈
Although honestly, I think, maybe Tara didn't really float there at all...
Maybe that was some kind of metaphore... 🤔🤭
One of the best Episodes ❤❤❤
Oh hey, thats me! Except i cant tap dance... id just burn...
I have the soundtrack for this episode in my car lol
'takes sip right before jumpscare'
OHNO!
I got a theory that it's reaction and awesome reaction
Buffy ❤❤❤
This was pretty much the first musical episode, and yes, it's hilarious,
On to part two!
❤❤❤
Never delete the plete.
THIS is the reaction i've been waiting for from the beginning!!!!!!!!
At.
Frikkin.
LAST!
Where is your patreon?
Buffy fans always get mad when I suggest this but I think they used an autotuner on Sarah Michelle Gellar. If u listen to her voice it sounds atuocorrected unlike everyone else's that sounds like them. 🤷♂
This came out only a few years after autotune was introduced. It would have been pretty pricey to do that.
I think you’re correct though. She and Willow especially sound autotuned. Willow, you don’t notice as much because of how few singing lines she has.
SMG can notoriously not sing and her parts were nearly sung by someone else, but SMG was made to sing in the end.
Autotune or a similar tool was clearly used a lot in this episode.
Pretty sure every voice was altered. Maybe not much of James' or Tony's, but I'd be surprised if all or even most of their lines were their raw voices.
Alyson said once that if she knew that they were able to change their voices like that in post, she would've been more confident and maybe up to do more singing, so it's not like it's a secret that their voices were altered.
I don't see why fans would get mad at that suggestion. They also don't look like that, that's lighting, make-up, lens and framing. Half their fights are not them and more than half the time when they are standing with their faces out of the frame it's not them either, it's a stand-in.
@@MarkusR144 Yes, of course to a certain degree all singers audio tracks are cleaned up including Adele even. However In the making of the musical mini doc u can see who sang raw & confidently and all their mistakes and who were more apprehensive. Oh, in other reactions of this musical there are many who, for some reason cannot accept that SMG's voice was helped by auto tune. It's hilarious how aggressive they are about it. 😄
@@arc7375 Yes, exactly.
While I do like your reactions and your channel,how come the video keeps disappearing to black every five seconds or so?
Editor of the video here: Hi Bob. This is to avoid copyright claims on the channel. If the episode wasn't cut up or ran for too long it wouldn't be eligible for fair use. So normally when Dakara speaks I cut the video unless it's something important, it also makes it easier to hear Dakara talk. This episode was trickier than most for copyright due to the songs.
0:15 somewhat notable...
I think the Scifi show Lexx got there first with its episode Brigadoom
'Xena' did theirs about a year before that (and there may even be earlier examples) but i'd actually forgotten Lexx did one at all so thanks for the reminder :).
so silly.
That was a good moan, girl 9:40 😄🔥🔥
The fact that people still get surprised that this is a musical episode is so funny to me. This is THE musical episode, as in the first one ever - the one that started the trend of shows having musical episodes!
Edit: So many great lyrics but my favourites are “Spread beneath my Willow tree” and “You make me com… plete”. Joss Whedon may be problematic but he was a damn good writer!
Not the first TV show to do it but BTVS did kick start the trend thereafter.
@@that.ll_do_pig Oh really? Didn’t know that. Which TV shows had musical episodes before Buffy?
Why would you split this into 2 episodes??
Because it's a longer episode and also it means you get more of the video reacted to, or it'll be cut to pieces even more.
As without the split her and using her ten minute timer we would not get half the songs in.
I never understood people watching the beginning of this episode and being confused at the not talking. Even if this wasn't a musical some shows open with montages of the day starting. It's not as popular as one would expect in a TV Show, but this isn't the first or the last time for TV. I don't understand the confusion. It isn't really any different than opening to many movies. In this case, the differences are it's an episode of TV and the musical's overture.
Because it almost never happens? Movies and TV have different expectations. Those expectations are cemented even further when a show's been on several seasons.
@@camannwordsmithI get it. I guess I'm just the kind of person who lets fiction take me where it does before I let that kind of confusion take hold. That's the true confusing thing for me because I don't understand people asking if they missed an episode with _Superstar,_ either.
woof, my least liked episode of the entire buffyverse
