As someone who had the...privilege...yeah, we'll go with that word...of working at a McDonald's in the 90s, this episode was terrifyingly accurate. I mean I think my PTSD from the Beanie Baby rushes was actually triggered the first time I watched this.
Working fast food drives a person insane.
I think that's what they were going for. But in real life it's the customers that do that and here it's a phallic, paralyzing, wig monster. lol
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm > phallic, paralyzing, wig monster.
Hey Spike's not a wig monster 😛
One thing I really love about Buffy/Angel is that even on so-called "filler" episodes, there's always something else on other levels.
I love this episode. The way it's made, the music, the creepy villain..
The tone/mood of the episode is supposed to satirize the service industry. The turnover rate, long hours, low wages, the monotony, the lack of upward mobility. The trope that 9-5 service industry, labor jobs steal one's soul.
I worked BK in the 00s and yea, this was pretty spot on. Employees randomly having sex in the alley (I actually ran into a coworker doing this) The weird lack of spirit of every person that worked there. People asking you to do things you weren't trained on.
A realistic portrayal of working in American fast food or retail... it can be soul crushing and mind-deadening, depending on if you're someone who can or can't turn off your brain.
Xander must have some trauma about almost eating another human, again.
hee hee!
Buffy should get the council to pay her
Every time I watch one of your Buffeh reactions, I'm ruddy chuffed. It's a yes for me!
If you ever worked in FastFood, you know the dread you feel going to work.
Yes, yes this episode nails it. Fast Food is something else to work at.
As a teen, I liked most of my coworkers, but it was the customers that were rude that made it dreadful.
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm Well yea it was not really the coworkers, just the dreary, greasy environment and the customers, the rude, rude customers. I found drinking on the job helped way back when I worked fast food....
@@minuette1752🍺 😅
I never worked in fast food, but everyone I've heard talk about this episode who claim to have worked fast food say the episode's boring mundan-nace and monotony is accurate.
Every job can be monotonous. It's the rude customers and low wage that contributes to high turnover. As a teen onn my last day at the frier, I was threatened by a Karen customer and burnt the fries. hahaha
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm I agree.
There is a small group of people that are so miserable that they can only get any energy from making service workers upset and just as miserable. Making the monster the daily customer is on the mark, sadly. Most everyone can tell a story about a smiling assassin that was so nice while they made life miserable
First, I loved your reaction and your response to the scenes mirrored the audience. Yes this is not creepy as much as it is cringe worthy. And that is the point, I think. One insight that helped me to like this episode was watching some excellent reactors viewing the American version of The Office. It was a typical episode where Michael Scott is just making everyone laugh and cringe simultaneously. For some reason I connected how I felt watching Michael with Doublemeat Palace. The work environment with a focus on repetition, no real challenges, virtually no advancement… that is the life that Buffy is facing. Like a returning victorious soldier, after the medal ceremony… goodbye and good luck.
Remember what we know about Buffy… a suburban girl with no life directions from her divorced parents. Her life was carefree, training to be a popular girl, with marriage as the goal to life/ suburban success. Then she becomes The Chosen One , a fighter that frankly is expected to die soon and really no later than 19. Now you know where she is and on top of that her Gift for her labors and sacrifice, pure love, comfort, and peace has been taken from her after she has experienced her reward.This episode is not liked because no one enjoys the grid and the harsh. We have been with Buffy for 5 years . The battles and challenges have been exciting. Now the battle is one almost every person makes in American society… What next? For Buffy she is a single “Mother” with a teenage “daughter “, no skill that translates to revenue ( I’d she stays honest and moral), no training, no family to help, and BTW has to save Sunnydale daily and the world occasionally. It’s a filler on many levels but I view the cringe factor has bold storytelling of the mundane. 42 minutes to show what millions face daily yet somehow make it work. Like any quality parent, Buffy will endure because it’s really all for Dawn.
Good episode with a creepy and weird atmosphere
This is a fantastic, underrated episode that you can't fully understand unless you've worked in the fast food industry. It's bang-on about everything. The story is such a perfect metaphor for the mundanity of blue collar life in a shitty, low-paying job.
Laughed way too hard at "she's eating more of this meaty process" lol
Second manager was the police chief on Psych.
Manny also played a fast food manager in the film "Falling Down" :)
5:54 😂 For some reason in this episode James could not get he's line's there's a clip of it lol comedy gold, Yeah this episode was okay I do remember it Stay awesome Dakara 🤘
It's the music. The music along with the overbright colors and lighting. It leaves the average viewer so wigged out. It's like Tim Burton and David Lynch made the Doublemeat storyline.
I love Halfrek ❤
This episode gets funnier and funnier with every rewatch
Adding a comment and a like cuz daks awesome and deserves it 🔥
buffy's graphic sex with riley in season four? her even more graphic sex with spike in season six? the lesbian relationship? advertisers were on board with all of that. this episode, they revolted against. the _buffy_ team got a not-so-subtle warning that they needed to change directions.
I had a good time when I worked fast food in college. The night crew was teenagers to age 21, including the closing manager who was 19. We had fun and got the job done. It was nowhere as gloomy and soul crushing as this. And this was without the plot with people getting disappeared. It was just no fun on the job for Buffy. And Spike would have gotten her money, she just didn't want to feel more beholden to him than she did for him giving her some feelings. I was mildly distracted through the whole reaction trying to figure out what was so different about you today. Then at the end I finally realized your bangs were missing. Problem solved.
"What about the cherry pie??" 😅
The new manager is Captain Vic from Psych.
Buffy got a job, important things happened for Willow and Anya. Not filler.
Anya's friend is a vengeance demon; so she would always be looking for negative points. And maybe she's not totally wrong; Xander can be condescending towards Anya ... and actually he himself isn't always socially tactful but still remarking her shortcomings.
I think the penis monster was a metaphor for Buffy's addiction to Spike. Buffy's apathy for life is symbolized by working this dead end job where the only enjoyment she gets is from a loser boyfriend. The whole episode is pretty brilliant actually by evoking this dread and angst expressionistically through the imagery and tone. Very underrated episode, IMO.
Big mistake watching this one while eating. 😆
I haven't seen this episode in ages, but on seeing the title I immediately thought, "Uh oh, is this the one with the creepy lady and her gross head?" Yep. That's the one. 😬
The funny thing is that this episode is the only one advertisers didn’t like. Oddly, I almost always want a big juicy burger afterwards. If I hadn’t put in a doordash order before starting this, I’d probably be eating a whopper instead of the burrito that’s on its way.
Your reaction to that monster and it's dependable reminded me of a description of Deadpool by the bartender.
I have never, nor will I ever, work in fast food; although I have worked it toys for a few years. I've always heard that there are two things you never want to see made, laws and sausage. Now I can add hamburger to that list.
The moral of this story is to watch out for knobheads.
And that was the episode when as James said he fell in love with Sarah.. I mean Sarah.. I mean Buffy. 🙃
I respect that it was important to him to find a reason, a particular moment why Spike is in love with her. Because he is a professional so he cares. We all know that Buffy didn't treat him well. So it's actually not that easy for him to feel it during all these scenes. But here he found it. The fact that she took this job and she didn't complain even though she didn't like it and most importantly he thought that she is much better than this place while even her friends went there just to cheer her up which is nice but he was there to tell her that she is better than this and he offered his help, anything to keep her from doing this. And this is really cool for a man, ladies and gentlemen. When he is ready to help like this, to provide actual help not just 'there, there, well, it's bad but we can't do anyting' and tap her on the shoulder.
There are 4 people there, some of them live in her house and they can't do anything. And she just returned from heaven after her death. While there is a guy she constantly insults, punches and uses for her own gain and he is ready to pay for her.
Buffy and Spike…. No heroes only villains. Their relationship, it’s not one but what is it? It’s Sid and Nancy, Batman and Catwoman, Jay Gatsby and Daisy mixed with George and Martha In Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Obsession, depression, lust, self hatred, domination, sexual desire, submission, and fear… and that’s just the first 15 minutes when they are together and I did not even mention the turn on from violence. I wish Spike would write a poem about how he feels about Buffy. I don’t think we will hear that he is effulgent.
@@williambowman1660 That's true. But she is still a hero for them, whatever she does. They barely addressed what she was doing in this season except for the fact that she slept with him and that she used sex with him for her own pleasure, for herself. For this they punished her. And hard. And she punished herself for it too. Like it's the biggest sin she could commit. Everything else doesn't matter for the plot.
Ever since she graduated she became an infallible character. Who is usually right even when it doesn't look so. And who knows everything better than anyone else. And if she is wrong they forget it 5 minutes later. Or she will cry and everyone should forget about it. And that's what I don't like. Life doesn't work like that. Joss created comics character who is usually right by default. When if you meet someone doing the same things, you won't be so sure.
Her biggest 'villainous' act here was having sex with him. And the desire to have it. Like how could she, damn it 🙄The biggest sin in their universe. So even her infallible image didn't help.
Ha ha. The pickles were not locked. He simply said those are the dehydrated pickles, and then Buffy tried to open the file cabinet near the pickle buckets and he said "those are locked".
"Pickle Locked"
I know she left the council althought arguably went back in season 5.
But i really think the watchers council should be paying at least a reasonable stipend. Like she is supposed to be their main instrument and they can pay for countless watchers around the globe but not gove Buffy the basic means to live?
But even job wise, I don't agree the slayer has to always have crappy jobs. Imagine if she went for a job like professional athelete. Ok yes she has superpowers which seems unfair but hey it would be a compatiable career
Anya's vengeance demon friend is Cecily. William's/Spike's love interest whom he wrote poetry for back when he was human....Effulgent..😉
Ahm... spoiler? This will be revealed later...
@@Smido83 I absolutely appreciate the imperative of no spoilers in the comments.👍 However she's already finished Buffy and is watching season 5 of Angel.
@@odinthorson1830 Ah, ok, didnt know she was that much ahead.
So never mind... "spoil away"! 😉
@@Smido83 😊😊😉👍
Yeah but we shouldn't get in the habit of spoiling anyway. I've seen spoilers for episodes waaay early in the season and even in the previous. Some just can't help themselves. Just let it play out.
The most depressing episode of season 6: The reality of having a job
I'm not sure what's wrong with the video about how they make the Doublemeat meat. It's what goes on in a meat plant. It's how meat gets to your table. Exaggerated for effect, maybe, but I never found anything objectionable in the process.
Lots of the Buffy fandom judge Xander as harshly as Halfrek here.
He's not perfect. He can be rather short and critical with Anya... but people sort of neglect to appreciate how blunt Anya is. How direct, how ignorant of social convention and honestly... how rude. Her redeeming quality is that there appears to be no malice in it, and she really is a supportive girlfriend. But do people forget how often Anya pressure him? To get more money and get her nice things. Despite her having her own money. In The Replacement, she is pressuring him to get a nice apartment he's unsure he can afford. He's also fairly jealous, she doesn't exactly try to get on with his friends (in S4 she often "sides with Xander" in his angst over the girls distancing themselves)
Basically, Anya's behaviours could EQUALLY be described as toxic.
In reality, they're both just imperfect people trying their best, making mistakes and often hurting each other, despite the obvious love they feel. Just like real people do.
Quit dancing around it. They're monsters. Buffy needs to take them down. The fact that you defend them makes it seem as if you're in cahoots also - Better watch out.
idano
This is often regarded as one of the worst episodes of Buffy, but I quite like it. The strange tone, fast food satire and ridiculous monster all work for me, as well as the pathos of Buffy foreseeing a depressing future ahead of her. I think Gone, the prior episode, is much weaker, with the invisible fight, and the Scoobies ending up with a freakin' invisibility ray that never gets used or mentioned again.
Beezus Christ. Doublemeat Palace is ardly cellulose filler. If one was actually paying attention one would readilly see that, as always with Buffy, this episode moved along several arcs. Additionally, it plays with the dominant metaphor of season six, OH GROW UP. Part of growing up for people with limited education like Buffy is working at an intelligence stealing turn you into a robot place like McDonalds or in other retail crap jobs with, in the US which doesn’t have national health, poor benefits in addition to awful pay. This episode is a pretty accurate depiction of working in one level of hell and having to always put on a happy face and spew customer service crap to those walking through the door. Please feel free to get a job in one, opt out of National Health, and enjoy life.
Apart from seeing willow do so well, fighting the magic and being honest. This is the worst episode of the series and this is coming from someone who strongly hates 90 percent of s7.
After Angel and Spike, Buffy has already had the double meat experience....
What a weird comment. She didn’t sleep with them both at the same time. Are you just being misogynist? Women are allowed to sleep with more than one person in their lifetime, you know!
Misogyny aside, it's just a bad joke. lol Makes no sense unless they had a 3sme. 🤔🤦♂
Unpopular opinion,this is my favorite episode of the season, because it reminds of older seasons when Buffy was a b-movie/horror action show not a Mexican soap opera like the rest of this season.
Most disgusting episode of season 6...so far. I really hate most of this episode.
Possibly the worst Buffy ep ever? But as always, at least some good stuff.
This is my least favorite episode of the series. Luckily there aren’t very many like this one.
Well Beer Bad was bad, but this is possibly up there with it in being a pretty poor episode. A real filler if ever there was one. Ok I get the fact that Buffy needs an income etc, but its just ridiculous. A ropey plot at best. The only really good thing about this is the conversation Willow has with Amy. We Willow assert her power at the end saying to Amy 'if you are my friend stay away from here, and if you are not my friend you better stay away from here'. Cn't be coincidence the Rick Moranis lookalike is the manager, I think was deliberately made to look like him 'Feed Me Seymour' in homage to the plot of Little Shop Of Horrors. Of course we see Halfrek the vengeance Demon who seems to be coaxing Anya over Xander. Halfrek of course is played by the same actress that played Cecily the brilliant Fool For Love in S5, who spurned Spike's love advances when he was William. All in all not a great episode, of course we Buffy's sex addiction to Spike reaching further levels now having sex out the back in the alleyway near the bins, we can see how this is becoming more destructive.
It is not a poor episode, it is kind of criticism of fast foods. The interactions between Anya and Halfrek and Willow and Amy are excellent and Buffy and Willow's development too
I adore this episode.
@@minuette1752I’ve always liked it as well. But I like Beer Bad too, so maybe I just have bad taste🤣
Maybe it’s the way you react or something. I realized for the first time. This is exactly what Willow did to Tara in Goodbye to You. And Tabula Rasa on a bigger scale. But Tara made them all not see her demon side in Family. So, on the surface they’re all good. But are they??
