What's your favorite curse word? pls sensor in the comments. mine is *******
as an Englishman the is only one word that can be my fav and it can be used to insult someone or used as a friendly greeting between friends as in----------- Hello you c**t 🤣🤣🤣
It's totally *****
****-******* ******-******* **** ******
put angel on fucking youtube you cowards
Standing in a doorway during an earthquake as protection is a myth. It's actually far less safe. Doors will violently open and close on u and u r not protected from falling debris, glass, thrown objects. Under a solid table still #1. "Triangle of Life" also a myth. 😉
James Marsters, an American who has an English accent for Spike then trying to fake an American accent never gets old 😂
"No sirrr, I'm just an old friend of Xander's herrrrre" 😅
The really crazy part of that excellent line is that it required James Marsters to convincingly do an obviously fake version of his own accent. Hell of a performance
The only thing better than Alison Hannigan playing regular Willow pretending to be vampire Willow is James Marsters playing a guy with a British accent pretending to have an American accent
@@theTomm153 He's a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!
@@EffableLemming Face/Off (1997)
The thing with Buffy and relationships, it's not just the trauma she had with Angel but deep rooted abandonment issues from her father. Then taking into account all the, 'You're the Slayer and the Slayer is always alone'. She pushes people away before she can get hurt. That's why the scoobies are so important.
This right here.
Of course Giles randomly bought the Word of Valios at a sorcerer's estate sale. That seems like the most normal thing for him to do in the Buffy universe.
Checks out. It's just like him keeping an orb of thesulah as a paper weight
That's the most common thing in most Urban Fantasy novels. They are always scavenging in some old person's estate sale or storage unit auction.
@@biocapsule7311 Wouldn't you? I do that now. There is legit gold being lost in places no one understands. Its just covered in garbage. If you want to find a magical artifact you should absolutely be looking at old collections.
James as American actor playing British vampire pretending American accent is hilarious.
One of my top Buffy lines:
Riley: What are you?
Buffy: Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius, and you?
These reactions have made S4 about 100x better for me - never gonna be a Riley stan, but its fun seeing you guys root for him.
Honestly I feel Riley is the best, but the issues creep up on rewatches you see that he's extremely codependent and ultimately not the best...
Riley…. 🤮🤮🤮
Justice for Riley! 😜
@@brobby3829just a bit insecure but still like him, he’s just human
Really wish Twilight had been Riley in season 8. Would have worked so much better
Starting at 19:35 ish you can see Amy's mom lying face up on the floor in the debris of the hallway.
woah
Fun fact, the term "Big Bad" was actually coined by this series. Or, the writers on this series. You get what i mean lol.
In 2x16
And supernatural referenced it
Um no. The term "Big Bad" had been around long before Buffy
@@phoenixmagi2Was it really? Because I definitely remember Buffy popularizing that word. Had never even heard the word before in conversation until Buffy.
@@monadreher2428 you never heard of the 'Big Bad Wolf' which greatly pre-dates Buffy? Wow your childhood sucked.
As we get closer to the second half of s4 I really wish we had the angel reactions on youtube even if just a certain couple of episodes
James marsters is an american playing a british, doing an american accent
I always forget he’s not actually British. He is so spot on!
I love Suraj's hyena laugh.
Maybe he's possessed by hyena spirits!
When it comes to hyena laughs, I always think of Ed from The Lion King.
The Angel Disrespect 😂 24:38
And I will NOT stand for much more of it lol Man not even on the show and they still can’t keep his name out their negative mouths!!
@@notyouraveragebear9326 So do they just not like the angel show? lets me know wether to buy the sub or not, if it's just constant bs.
They are kinda idiots tbh.
@@notyouraveragebear9326He's just a big fluffy puppy with bad teeth..😉👍
Ahhh Spike, an American playing an Englishman playing an American 🤣🤣🤣
In "The Wire", there's an English actor who plays an American, and there's a scene where the character tries to sound English. Just as glorious as the Spike scene.
Thanks again for doing these Buffy reactions. I've been going through a rough few weeks and these have become one of the few things I really look forward to!
Hope things improve for you, buddy! Definitely loving the reactions too 😂
@BAlexThompson
Had some rough weeks last year, too, and I felt the exact same way about these reactions. I wish you the best weeks coming your way. 🙏 Sending virtual hugs as well. 🫂
Sending my wishes that things get better!☺️
"Sharing is caring, Pat" Fun moment between Marketa and Rana 30:00
This is just a passing-by episode. But it is interesting to notice how it introduces many of the new main topics of the show in a very subtle way.
Despite Spike constantly referring to himself as the big bad, he was never the show's big bad. He was only the villain in exactly 4 episodes: School Hard, What's My Line 1+2 & Surprise
You left off "Harsh Light of Day" which is arguably Spike at his absolute worst.
You guys are hilarious! The group dynamic reaction to Buffy is so fresh!
12:47 did they say kid fisto. Fun fact fisticups from runaways in the marvel hulu series, his dad is played by James Masters
Funniest part to me is still that last scene, where they're all pointing at the TV like, "But why did you turn it off, Spike? Noooooo," and he's all, "Let's kill something! Let's go kick some demon ass, for puppies and Christmas! COME ON!" Makes me laugh so hard every time.
I got say, Spike can pull off that Hawaiian shirt
Without irony, it's my favourite look of his
Im with Chris on this one 🤣 i tend to defend Buffy to new watchers about how ridiculous some action scenes are, but this one with Riley and his wire gadget is indefensible. Amazing episode otherwise! Love your reaction. Love the takes on Riley and Spike ❤
Buffy's more aerodynamic. She would fall faster. It takes time to reach terminal velocity.
@@BarbaraYaga I mean, there's also techniques to get faster or slower while falling: Basically, get your body as vertical as possible for faster, get horizontal (with arms and leg spreads) for slower. It change how air resistance affects your body.
As an example, I'm thinking when Ward saved Simmons in the FZZT episode of Agents of SHIELD.
My theory is the hole is a tunnel-like portal between this dimension and the hell dimension, that has no gravity of its own, so you travel at your initial velocity, thus Buffy entered at a higher speed and was able to catch up, and the lack of gravity also let them pull Buffy and the demon back with much less effort than should have been required, not to mention without the cable tearing loose. Because the only way that works is there being zero gravity in the hole.
@@ChevaliersEmeraudeThis is how skydivers catch up with such other after they dive. Some leave the plane 4-5 seconds later than the first jumpers. It’s all about wind resistance.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 I know... It's just, English is not my main language, and getting all technical about wind resistance and stuff, it was difficult for me to explain clearly. Sorry.
Buffy. Is. Always. RIGHT.
Doomed was a great fun episode with the comedy between Spike and Xander hilarious. It's almost like the 'Odd Couple' the two of them in the basement is a sitcom I would pay to watch. The last part when Spike gets recognised by Riley and tries to put on an American accent was hilarious.
What's so funny about James Marsters is that he's an American playing a Brit (instructed on the accent by Anthony Head), who is faking an American accent...
And Anthony head real life British accent is more stronger 😅 in the tv show he had a very tame version of the British accent 🙈 in order for people to understand him on the show/for us audience members who watched the show
Doorways used to be more stable than walls in older houses. In modern buildings this is no longer true. Most injuries in earthquakes are caused by felling debris, so these days people are encouraged to hide under a table or something similar that we shield them from above.
Not the Snowball conversation at the end 😅
lol btw James Marsters is american that was his fake american accent
An American doing a fake English accent doing a fake bad American accent. He's amazing ❤
The best part of Spike's terrible US accent is that James Marsters was born in California.
"XanDURR"
When you're excited for watching Buffy reactions but have major hang-ups about this season and have to stay silent.
The Master wasn't in the hellmouth.
Buffy is simply scared.. a guy who actually likes her and is not 300 years old or a douchebag? No way she’s gonna fall for that easy, her first impulse is to refuse it, she’s not used to good love/affection except for her friends.
I always assumed they hit some kind of ledge; Buffy beat the demon and grabbed them & the Talisman, then climbed back up. kerk
Just an old pal of xanderrrr
It's refreshing to see a pro-Riley crowd.
Season 4 has some of the best stand-alone episodes of any season, even if it's one of the weaker seasons overall.
"Bad guy gets chip that makes him not hurt good guys" should be so stupid but the show makes it work so well cuz you feel bad for Spike lol
Spike getting a spin off at this point would have been bad, he's just a dick who has bad things happen to him. Entertaining yes, a compelling focus of character development absolutely not. But watching him eat shit is hilarious.
Riley is a pretty divisive character, personally I always liked him. He's a mid-Western farmboy who is just happy to be relevant and is fundamentally optimistic, personally I think there's room for more of that in the show
It's funny bc that's James Marsters real accent lol
more Spike more Spike more Spike. he is the star of the show! :D
James Marsters, an American, playing a Brit doing a bad American accent. Awesome. 😂
I 100% cant wait for u guys to watch the finale of season 4 😂 im like vibrating with excitement 😂😂
We had a 5.7 in Salt Lake at around 5:15am..I was so groggy, my bed was trying to toss me out, but funny enough, my very first thought was The Exorcist..and Something Bad was happening..took quite a while for me to figure it out..I really don’t want to experience that or certainly anything stronger ever again!
Yeah here in southern Cali I've always worked remotely so have slept through many. haha Anything under 6.5 I don't bother to wake up for. hehe The rolling ones do give me motion sickness if they are long enough tho.
1.1K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome! Thanks! 😊
Notes: I think that I'm used to your group dynamic now, when it's this particular combination. You're very fun people to view! 😊
I forgot how funny spike was XD
All Spike had to do is walk outside!.😂😭
Another great 90's tv shoe charmed I think y'all would love that show
This is the part in the season where I think to myself that someone on the couch has met their favorite character of the entire series and they just don't know it yet. And then later? The heartbreak.
SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES
This Buffy reaction channel hasn't shown up in my notifications for a month. Luckily I know what day they release the Buffy episodes to RUclips.
"Again! Oh, as usual, dear." and "Really! You're not just saying that." are the best lines in the episode.
I agree with Buffy telling Giles off for dismissing the the earthquake. I would trust Buffy's slayer instincts (not her dating instincts as I will rant about a bit in the long paragraph below) about a bit over Giles Watcher instincts. Even Suraj recognized it from 5:38-5:41.
Yes. "Sod off" is British slang. It means go away.
Buffy's not acting stupid or self-involved, as Riley says to her for saying no to a relationship. She has genuine concerns that she needed to deal with before being with somebody romantically. She didn't realize that until she saw him stepping from Joe Normal into her Slayer life. It doesn't matter whether there is truth to what Riley says or not. If she doesn't deal with the issues things get rushed. He isn't respecting Buffy's decision and is being rude to her about it. Its sad that neither Riley, nor Willow in previous episodes for pushing them together, respect the fact that she has issues and has made these realizations and that she needs to deal with them. They want to go at their pace when Buffy needs to go at her own pace. It's sad that Riley calls her names for saying no. Whatever reasons he or others come up with to think calling people names is, isn't defendable because there were other things he could have said besides name-calling to get his point across. Buffy getting together with him without dealing with the issues she clearly has, makes Riley more of Buffy's rebound (just like Parker was meant to be). And Riley has helped put himself there. By this episode's end he has convinced her she's in the wrong and needs to date him. Buffy may as well have got together with Xander the night he made fun of her for believing in vampires, which was also the same day he said, "Can I have you" as the very first words spoken to her. Her issues with slaying combined with Xander being rude make him an easy 'no' for her, but she actually tried with Riley until she realized she needed time because of Angel and Faith issues. Not allowing herself that time is only serving to make Riley the rebound. Not waiting a while after agreeing to the time that even Riley said was a good idea at the beginning of the episode speaks volumes also shows they are jumping the gun. None of that even adds to Riley saying phrases like "what are you?" instead of "who are you?" Seriously? Buffy had a right to be annoyed or worse at that one. Riley was fighting against serious issues and I don't see the episode's end with them as a good thing. Buffy hasn't dealt with her issues yet. I think the episode is called _Doomed_ not just because of the main threat, but because like with "None of us ae going to have happy normal relationships" in episode eight, this title is foreshadowing Buffy and Riley's relationship.
Spike, of course was being a jerk in the moment and toying with Xander and Willow, but they (as well as fans) wouldn't take it so hard if it didn't have some truth to it.
An American actor (James Marsters as Spike) portraying a British character who has to do a phony American accent. It's such a great moment.
Lol
When the creature grabbed Forrest from behind in the Initiative they needed to give him the sed-a-give.
Spidey is gonna miss 2 hilarious episodes
SUNNYDALE FUCK YEAH! 🤣
Are you guys aware that James Marsters (Spike) is actually American?
I thought Spike was trying to do a Bristolian accent
James Marsters is so fucking good. Steals every scene he’s in.
It’s nice to see people root for Biley. We’ll see how y’all feel as time passes. If you try to see things through Riley’s perspective and can disagree with Buffy’s tendency to close herself off, you can see their potential.
FINALLY WE ARE PAST THE POINT OF HUSH! NEW TERRIOTORY!
Gotta get your protein up Pat
You guys went from claiming you are watching Angel on Twitch, to the podcast and now just on patreon. Im on to you...
As theyve dropped season5e15 im here after watching 11-14 to watch them. Well its really for rana
Woohoo!
Thanks.
Joss and James were close, honest. He just didn’t want *evil* Spike to be seen as cool.
This episode has a tough job of following Hush, honestly it's not my favourite. The ending totally defies the laws of physics, and there's some weird ADR going on with Giles in the courtyard scene which always bothers me. It's also just a bit.. cheesy? But it's all forgiven for the absolute golden comedy moments from Spike. I think I rewatched the little 'I am even remotely scary anymore? Mrrrrmrmr' scene a billion times on my first watch.
I think i read that Giles was sick so they recorded his lines for that scene on a different day, so he's miming there
0:30 First ever Bollywood movie which I watched was Dhoom. Great movie! And the sequels weren't bad either.
I'm not even a Buffy fan. Just a normies fan so here I am lol
I like Ruffy.
You do know that James Masters is actually American, right?
Why are they beeping bits?
Xander is the bard
The doorway in an earthquake being safe is accurate, BUT ONLY IF IT HAS NO DOOR. That tidbit isn't properly explained in most cases, so people can get seriously hurt by the door swinging against them if the quake is strong enough. :o
Love all of your takes on the show so far. I didn't start fully watching Buffy until I was in my late teens, and even though it was ridiculous at times to me even then, I'm glad to see my nostalgia glasses aren't on so strongly that I've imagined the charm this whole time. Some seasons are more serious or more camp respectively, but I hope you continue to enjoy the show as it continues on to even wilder moments.
No actually it's a myth. Ur right about doors swinging, especially at schools where they are heavy metal doors. But even no doors, door frames are not safe. No protection from flying debris, glass, etc. and door frames are no more structurally sound than any other part of a house. It's just has extra pieces of wood. Triangle of life is also bogus. Under a solid table is still the safest.

damn, they do watch Angel on twitch (I guess), that's hella disappointing ngl
Spike: I mean, am I even remotely scary anymore? Tell me the truth.
Me and all the Spike fangirls: You're still hot! You're wearing Xander's hawaiian shirts, for crying out loud, and you're still hot!
Welcome to the Annoying Neighbor Spike era.
He became the Urkel or Fonzie character of the Buffy show.
💖💖💖💖
No sir....
As a fan that was in the army..rude bro not hella lame
no, that was not british slang
Hellmouth physics. Kinda like Minecraft physics only more...Hellmouthy.
I think the scriptwriters know a lot about writing good characters.
..not so much about physics.
Vehicles are also sort of a blind spot.
Ah yes the in depth discussion we all sign up for
Ah yes I bet you wrote your Master's thesis about Buffy during your first watch 🙄
sometimes I think that Giles has stronger bones than Buffy! Otherwise, how is he still alive? 😅
How many of the Normies haven't seen Gravity Falls? Maybe a reaction is warranted!
Doomed, not Doom
There’s a fan theory that Riley’s coworker is actually secretly gay for him.
I thought so myself
I’m so piss we watch Buffy together but not angel that’s not cool we got twitch for no reason
Spike and Xander scenes while they were roommates are more interesting than all Buffy and Riley scenes aka never-ending talks they even had. Truth.
Let's face it, Riley's scenes in general weren't that interesting no matter who he's paired with.
@@jp3813 Nah. His lines are great when humor is involved.
His scenes with Xander and Spike were also entertaining.
The funniest part about Spike's fake American accent is that the actor is from Texas.
its a show about vampires demons and all sorts of made-up shit and your issue is the physics of how she managed to catch up to the falling demon?
Nobody wants to see Pat's pits.
For some reason i was never the biggest fan of this ep. Maybe cause it has the tough job of following the masterpiece that is HUSH. But it kinda feels uninspired to me, willow and xander seem to loose steam in this one. I like the whole Ruffy dynamics but the end of the world (again) stuff felt pretty lame. Spike saved the episode though. And I like the whole going back to high school :)
This episode is weird just like Buffy’s thinking. She was willing to go all in with Jerky Parker who is very normal and if he wasn’t a jerk and they would of been together she would of always had to lie to him and she would of been putting him in danger a lot. Very weird thinking in her part
Riley is such a sweetheart
Its funny that they like Riley, I've never met a buffy fan who didn't hate him or at least dislike him lol
Sofie Reacts liked him
I hate Riley so much always have but watching u guys cheer him on is funny. 😂 He was the main reason season 4 is my least favorite. But it's way more enjoyable watching u guys react to it
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HOW WEIRD GILES SOUND THIS EPISODE!?! It's like every scene he is in is terrible ADR. It bothers me every time I see it lol
What? No Spidey?
Love Buffy, but this ending is so s**t 😂. Just doesn’t make any sense.
Spike should have had the spin off for sure. Spike >>>>>> Angel. (sorry I'm petty but I"m not over what happens in the show...).
nah, Angel >>>> Spike as a lead, Spike an amazing secondary character tho.
The decision to do a spin-off came very early, before Spike was a regular on the show. Angel was the one with enough character development to move over to a spin-off.
