#buffythevampireslayer #reaction #spike
Spike blew into town, fucked up everyone's lives and dipped.
GOAT
Dude is a legend!
Все любят Спайка❤
More like a horse’s ass.😂
That funeral fakeout never fails to bring out the best reactions. Definitely one of my favorite episodes to rewatch.
Yes, ALWAYS the best reaction part of this episode!
Yup. If it's by people who are already familiar with Weadon's work it's always "F*** you Joss!"
Spidey looked genuinely shook.
😂 I was waiting for that part to see the reaction😂
I was waiting for that bit the WHOLE episode
Spike and Joyce are the best duo on this show.
Totally
Especially when passions is on the telly
@@lawrenceladd30 Wait, did little Timmy ever get rescued from the well?!
Lmao "he's just a doll for god sake she can just sew him up!" I've watched so much buffy I often quote it verbatum, mostly.
@@lawrenceladd30I used to watch Passions when I was little!
"I may be loves bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it"
And lines like that is why Spike is my favorite
I love how in the beginning of the episode Spike comes to town all down and depressed while all the other characters are pretty much happy and at the end of the episode all the characters are depressed and Spike drives away happy as a clam.
That's what I loved the most too
I never noticed that!😂 so cool!
i forgot how much i enjoyed Spike in this episode, he is excellent comedic relief while still being an actual threat when needed
That was absolutely the best reaction to Cordelia's fake out death ever. Literal teared up laughter.🤣
omg i know I laughed so hard.
To bad half of them didn't know what had happened bc they were all talking during the scene
@@shootingreal5945 What happened was Whedon trolled the viewers, and they all knew it.
@@shootingreal5945 They had subtitles on.
Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) actually suffered this injury as a child and they found a way to incorporate it into the show.
She still has the scar.
Angel may be the vampire with a soul, but Spike is the Vampire with a heart.
what a bullshit omg.
LOL you are terrible. oh wait spike is a rapist but who care right?
Alyson Hannigan used to come into my work when I lived in LA and I can confirm she is very nice lol
I can’t see her being anything else but nice
@@talynstarburst2l2l2l the perks/con of being typecast.
Pat gets it wrong, shocker. He's an utter fool.
I've heard Alyson is a sweetheart.
Buffy invited Spike into the house during the Season 2 Finale. She had Willow cast a spell uninviting Angel mid Season 2 after he went evil, and had not reinvited him until this episode.
and Cordelia making her Grandma switch cars with her until they can do the spell on her own car, lmaaooo what a great episode
Has Buffy ever changed it back so that Angel could come to her house? Later On, I don't think Buffy ever would have thought to have Spike not allowed in. I've watched the whole series and own it on DVD. I know what happens. Spike this is what he is. He doesn't have another personality like Angel which is a lot more dangerous.
@@Ringking-ws7bz Buffy invited Angel in this episode.
@@jp3813 I think they mean has buffy ever thought about doing the spell on spike
@@mb-sb5ever I was referring to the first sentence about a vampire entering the house.
Spike rolled in, whined, created chaos, and left. Iconic.
Pretty much all of my ttrpg characters do exactly that lol
Everytime Spike arrived, he took out the welcome to Sunnydale sign . He really had it out for that sign.
Surprised that Suraj didn't point out that the shopkeeper was the same actress that played Hurley's psychic in LOST 😜
Suzanne Krull. 😎
Back in School Hard the first episode Spike appeared in he also crashed into the Welcome to Sunnyvale sign and said “Home Sweet Home”
The reaction to the Cordy funeral fake out will never stop being amazing.
Spike was still invited in from ep 222 last season, Buffy just never did the uninviting spell on him like she had done on Angel in 217. As far as we know, Angel going to the hell dimension has nothing to do with it. Sometimes it's best not to dig too deep into some of the details. lol
I was waiting for the moment with The Normies! Did not disappoint 🙂
The purpose of the funeral fake out was precisely what you said: To make you realize how much you'd grown to like Cordy after her initial introductions
Also, the actress for Cordy has a scar in that location because when she was a child she fell on some exposed rebar. So that was also a reference of a sort
spike is one of the greatest 90s characters of all time
💯
You're reaction to Cordelia's possible fatal impalement, then the random funeral was fantastic. Spike s a very good judge of character, and speaks tactless truth. Spike miming and taunting Angel behind Joyce was hilarious. Also, nice to have a cheerful and chipper Mayor cameo.
“Alyson comes off as goody two shoes”
Me, giggling in the background: “Wait for it”
The close up of Mickey's face when he saw the funeral was next level and everyone's screams when you realised it was a fake out will have me laughing all day. I love watching reactions to that scene. Awesome episode, awesome reaction.
Spikes character growth is on another level
The first episode where you start forgetting Spike is evil. It will happen again.
Meanwhile, this is an absolutely classic Whedon Episode of continually-escalating melodrama, and it's superb. I must admit I'd forgotten just how good this episode is, but you guys reacting to it was a blast, particularly enjoyed this one. I think by this point it's fair to say you guys are on the Buffy Train. Welcome aboard.
On the sunlight thing, the secret is to remember that the laws of physics don't matter, it's magic. I don't mean that as in "just don't think about it", vampires are demons and so there's a bunch of things about how they work that just aren't logically possible and yet are true. One of them is that it's possible not to get set on fire by sunlight if it's not fully on you. The writers do play a little fast and loose with it sometimes but mostly it's down to vampires being demonic creatures, not mundane ones
Vampires can get drunk because it’s FUNNY! Nuff said 😉
I love the fact that angel and buffy were all worried and all spike was doing was literally the most innocent thing...complaining about dru to joyce and having hot cocoa It's just great.
Yes! I remember when I was watching it for the first time I was like “WTF?”😂
LMAO this episode is hilarious. Spike is absolutely one of the best characters on the show
Spike such a great character.
It's easy to credit Whedon for everything, and he does of course set the tone for the show, but this episode is written by Dan Vebber. Credit for the hilarious dialogue and funeral fake-out should go to him.
And with that one love speech Spike sealed himself as a legend and icon of this series for fucking ever.
This whole reaction was a fucking delight. Thank you for this!
I feel like the rules of sunlight are muteable in this universe. Like, it depends on what they need the Vampire to do.
Oh and Angel's invitation WAS rescinded back when he was evil.
Yep, “Sorry, Angel, we changed the locks..”
To be fair, car window glass blocks almost all UVB radiation and up to 90 percent of UVA radiation so his little car trick isn't that unbelievable.
*Spike reminiscing on the bench*
Buffy and Angel like “Boy get up.”
😂😂😂
Angel is reading Nausea (La nausée) by Jean-Paul Sartre, existentialist philosopher, almost a parody of existential crisis for teenagers...
I'd forgotten that Spike kidnaps Willow while she's in the magic shop trying to deal with a problem with a spell rather than just addressing it directly.
I'm sure that's a one-time thing, though.
Spike the greatest character in The Buffyverse! Was great to see him back here. Lover's Walk another super episode keeping up the great quality of S3. All the relationships here are having problems Angel/Buffy, Spike/Drusilla and the Oz/Willow/Xander/Cordelia situation. Spikes monologue was very true regarding Buffy and Angel he really nailed it there. You can really see how the writing is now much more intense in that it really delves into the Psyche of each characters emotions. Season 3 is just banger after banger after banger!
Spike seeing Buffy and Angel's closeness was good insight to show. Sometimes it doesn't seem necessary to hide yourself around those that aren't in your inner circle.
This might be the best Normies reaction of 2022. Maybe Ever.
Their Lost reactions were the best.
a note on the title of the episode.
it is called "Lovers Walk" not "Lover's Walk" This is not about a 'walk' that belongs to Lovers. The title is saying one very specfici thing: Lovers Walk, they leave, they go away, Lovers are not forever.
Spike is an amazing character.
"This is my favourite episode so far... We've been saying it alot". Yup that's Season 3 for you guys, by far the most consistently good season of this entire show. (Yeah fight me, seasons 5 and 6 lovers!)
Also, rewatch bonus. The line "tell me you don't love me" is also what the ghost student told his teacher in season 2 episode 19
I rewound that Cordy fakeout reaction like four times, that was amazing! I was waiting all episode for that. Also the part where she gets rebarred had to rewind too. When groups have the same reactions it's always fun!!
LMAO SAME
Their reaction to Pat's take on Alyson Hannigan slew me, ngl
I can't for "Bored Now."
@@Windupchronic omgg, that will certainly be interesting
Spike's back and Xander and Willow are finally outed for their cheating. 😁😊👌👍
Spike, emotionally moving from singing "My Way" sadly to epically is great.
Giles not knowing if Buffy's mom's head spinning around and exploding was a metaphor or not was great.
This episode has one scene between The Mayor and his Deputy that explains the bad police moments in the first two seasons.
Every Normie both feeling bad for Spike and the weight of "we can still be friends" was a great reaction. Same with their realization that Spike isn't going to hurt Joyce, but is instead have tea with her. Also same with one of my favorite Spike moments, him explaining Buffy and Angel's denial problems to them. And the funeral moment gets everyone; I love that they acknowledge their change from disliking Cordelia to liking her over time.
Now that Joyce is in the know, it seems there are important things Buffy hasn't been explaining to her mom.
Vampires in the Buffyverse can eat things other than blood, but it won't sustain them.
As far as I'm concerned Willow and Xander were no longer hostages when they started making out. Spike coming back is the only things that would've changed that. Even Oz and Cordelia walking in didn't change their non-hostage-ness.
I blame Xander and Willow for Cordelia being in the hospital.
He blacks out the car because he doesn't want to take the risk of direct sunlight during daylight hours, not because he knows one way or the other if it will get him.
For Drusilla, being tied up and tortured would have been a good thing, so technically it wasn't the wrong lesson Spike learned.
Pheromones probably smell stronger to Oz and he may not have realized or wanted to acknowledge what type of smell he was smelling.
Buffy is smart and can be good at school, but she rarely has time to study. When she does, she does well.
I don't think Suraj was saying that whoever a person loses their virginity to, said person would want to be with again. I think he was saying they will always have that moment and it will always be memorable, whether good or bad. And in Buffy's case it was special to the point that even after the breakup that just happened in this episode, things are going to be like Spike explained to them.
not just first love and virginity sharing, but also the fact that Angel, alone being the only souled vampire, and Buffy, alone being (originally) the only slayer, they are probably the only people that can understand the other
Every episode with Spike is comedy genius! 😂
This episode just crushes the feelings of the kids, it hurts every time I watch it. Also, Spike is totally a chaotic, but hilarious, tornado, lol.
This episode is really good on the rewatch, spikes behaviour in this one makes so much more sense when you know that before being turned he was writing bad bleeding hearts poetry and living with his beloved mother
I can't believe Suraj didn't recognize the Witch Shop owner as the actress ( Suzzanne Krull ) who played Hurley's fortune teller, Lynn Kanoff on "Lost".
That Cordelia gag never gets old
Joyce being the Mom Spike deserves love it.
One of the best episodes with the combination of comedy and drama, all wrapped up in the manic chaos of Spike
Okay there are a LOT of great reactions to the funeral fake-out. This might be the best one yet.
In regard to the direct vs indirect sunlight, think of it this way.
If you are in a room with sun pouring through the windows, or skin is covered, or in the shade of a tree, you will not a get sun tan just cause the sun may be present, but it is not hitting you directly so has no effect on you. But once you step outside and allow sun rays to hit your skin, your skin starts to react to the sun (making Vitamin D). As long as a vampire is in the shade, or in a building (not standing directly in front of a window with the sun pouring in), or skin is covered, they can either avoid burning or, at least, have more time to get away from the sun before they burst into flames. But of course like vampire lore in most shows, they can break this rule whether that's accidentally done by a director or the writers simply forget to obey a rule.
Moonlight is still indirect sunlight. Without this caveat, vampires couldn't exist
That's gotta be the biggest reaction I've ever seen from Spidey.
I just love Spike and Joyce's relationship lol
I feel like I could say this for all of season 3 but I’m super excited for the reaction to the next episode 😂
Yup
Shows like these you forget how good they are until you watch them years later after having experience all the worlds media.
The heck with Friends and Seinfeld....this was the funniest show of the 90's and continued into the new century.
Lol love how they just wanted an excuse to have Buffy Angel and Spike fight alongside each other
You guys are quickly becoming my favorite Buffy reactors
This was great, one of my favourite Buffy reactions you've done.
Spike is the best. that fake out omg Joss you bastard
"have you ever SEEN a Chaos Demon...they're all slime and antlers..." LOL
Season 3 has some of the greatest episodes, this is going to be fun ride.
One of my favorite episodes of the series coming up next, and another fave about 4 episodes later. Season 3 is so amazing. Can't wait until next weeks reaction.
The amazing attention to detail. They put four blondes right in front at the funeral. So you instantly think that Buffy is there.
20:55 "YOU BITCHES!" was- no exaggeration -exactly how I responded when I saw this a few years ago.
Meanwhile Rana shaking her head like she just caught her man in a lie, that disappointed betrayal.
I could forgive it when Buffy did this because they were literally trolling, there's humor, whereas when LOST did this it was more like being bullied 🥺
Spike's the best character. You'll see. Can't wait to see how you'll find out.
The troll funeral destroys me everytime 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have never trusted characters dying in shows ever again
The did a deinvite spell on Angel when he was evil. That's why he wasn't able to get in. They just never did one for Spike which is interesting.
Watching new people react to the fakeout never gets old :>
I've been looking forward to this one! This episode is a favorite of mine and I loved your reactions to it
This reaction was worth the wait.
That was a fucking rollercoaster. Also I forgot how good that episode is, because I hate the Willow/Xander stuff.
Spike is fucking awesome, the funeral fake outs is ducking hilarious.
xander and amy's spell finally worked
@@RecoveringChristian Having Cordelia fall in love w/ Xander?
@@jp3813 he wanted to break her heart with that spell. It worked.
@@RecoveringChristian Well, only the love part was the spell. So I'd say it already worked when they got back together.
@@jp3813 no, his intent (Amy's word) was to inflict pain on her via the love spell (Xander's words). In totality, the love spell includes what happened between him and Willow and what happened to Cordelia because of it (falling deeper in love and then the betrayal and heartbreak). He got what he wanted.
Season 3 just gets better and better!
Marsters and Boreanez(SP?) had really good chemistry. They and Sarah should have at least been nominated for Emmys, IMO.
20:37 IT IS STILL FUNNY after watching so many reactions!!!
I’m gonna miss Xander and Cordelia being together, something about their opposites attract dynamic was really fun and they were my second favorite couple in the whole Buffyverse… but that’s what you get Xander for being stupid and thinking with the wrong head lol
Spike is listening to Sid Vicious’s cover of My Way
"Witchcraft is gross"
lmao
lol at goody-two-shoes Willow, I hope Pat sticks around for a at least season 5)
...6
Sounds like it wasnt quite picked up on. Spike's entrance, driving through the Sunnydale sign, is the same as his original entrance in season 2, with the "Home Sweet Home" line. Obviously falling out of the car drunk this time rather than confidently striding out.
Eye of Rat = Velarian Seeds. Witchcraft is not gross. I'm surprised Rana, whose said she's a witch more than once, didn't take offense to that.
omg I LOVE the fake out so much. your reactions are SO GREAT.
There are a handful of epic monologues in Cinema (Actually there's a lot). However, Bill Pullman in "Independence Day" and Spike's "Love" monologue in this episode are top tier for me.
One of the best episodes but believe me no spoilers but they top this. This is the warmup
You are starting to realize why so many think it is one of the greatest shows of all time. That funeral fake off was classic. Buffy changed so many cliche scenes. And you are right...the show only gets better....it's hard to pick out the best episode.
This was the first episode i saw...by accident on a day off. A huge brawl, vampires, witchcraft, love triangles, and a vampire that looked like Billy Idol leaving town belting out The Sex Pistols 'My Way'...I was instantly hooked, and have been a fan ever since.
One of the best reactions I've seen! 😂Couch was shook
The part where the rebar goes thru Cordelia? That happened in real life to the Actress who plays her-- Charisma Carpenter.
Spikes first big memorial speech
The Mayor confessed to covering up supernatural stuff and of course it went over their head!
Spidey's reaction to the Cordelia fakeout was ...great lol
Also, Spike is the best character aside from Buffy
A lot of people don't like the death fake out, but I kind of love it. It forces every fan to admit just how much they actually love Cordy.
Her character has grown a lot, but in little pieces as she never really gets a lot of screen time. Now though, faced with her death, she's pushed to the forefront and off the sidelines. It was a great move and excellently does what it set out to do.
This episode is a belter and this reaction video is classic I laughed with y'all so hard during this one, good content thanks. 😊
Man, I need to rewatch this show, it never leaves my mind, such a good fucking show.
the first episode in which I felt sorry for Cordelia. this selfish girl let someone into her heart for the first time...and you saw how it ended!..
Mickey Head when he learn that Spike is Piccolo ( I had the same reaction lol XD )
This was the most delightful reaction to Lover's Walk I've ever seen.
I don't understand the confusion about getting drunk. The *very first scene* with Spike, he references getting stoned at Woodstock from feeding on a flower child.
Spike might be the best character in this show. Btw to answer Mickey's question its the UV rays in Direct sunlight that is harmful. Indirect Sunlight has far less UV radiation in the range of 5-15% depending on the surface. This is also why Moonlight isn't harmful to Vampires the light from the moon is not reflecting a high enough level of UV Rays its almost nonexistent.
