We giggle, because we love
So I was talking about how The Gift has some of the worst continuity that BtVS has possibly ever seen and it got me and others talking about moments in Buffy and Angel that are so bad or dumb that at this point you can't help but look back on them with an indulgent smile.
I'm not talking about things that you remember that angry up the blood, though lord knows both shows had those too. Nor am I talking about concepts that sounded dumb and yet worked out really well, like Smile Time or the musical.
Instead I'm talking about stuff that's dumb in that special, unique, only Joss and the gang could ever write something that stupid and yet we still love them, kind of way.
As a for instance:
Spike being tortured by having his head held underwater in the exact same year that Angel not needing to breathe underwater is a huge plot point.
Very possibly all of The Gift, from "Olaf's a troll god since when again?" to "Haven't any of you ever heard of a band-aid?"
You get the idea.
So let's hear it. Now that the shows are over and everything takes on that sweet nostalgic glow, what are some of your favorite most dumb-ass moments on either Buffy or Angel?
I'll toss a few of mine in under a cut
Violence is frowned on in Caritas! Wait, we mean violence is forbidden in Caritas! Wait, we mean violence is impossible in Caritas! Wait, we mean only demonic violence is impossible in Caritas! Wait, what do we mean?
Darla killing kids means she's pregnant with a human baby. Of course it does.
Angel snores in "Birthday," which possibly rivals trying to stick Spike's head in a bucket of water for dumbest way to forget that vampires don't breathe.
In "Fredless" the entire gang becomes so retarded that none of them remember what a zip code is.
Connor's l33t bomb-making skills. Because how can you not love Connor having l33t bomb-making skills?
Buffy working fast food. Because lord knows she has no successful waitressing skills to fall back on.
So what are some of yours? =)
