Five Funniest Buffy Episodes

[BlasterBoy]

Disagree.

IMO, they are "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered", "Doppelgangland", "Pangs", "Tabula Rasa", and....well, only these four are absolute comedy gold. Great stuff here.

[vampmogs]

I agree with most of that list, except I'd substitute 'Beer Bad' for 'Dopplegangland' and 'Buffy VS Dracula' for 'Pangs.'

Buffy VS Dracula is funny, but I never thought it was meant to be a comedic episode, it just had the usual flavour of humour most Btvs episodes have? And I don’t find ‘Beer Bad’ funny at all.. Not in the good way anyway.

[Weredog]

My list would've been:


Living Conditions
Him
Pangs
Earshot
Band Candy

[lee]

Not in order, just my 5 favorite funnies.
Storyteller
Tabula rasa
Band candy
The Zeppo
Something blue

[Rexx Raul]

Something Blue
The Replacement (I just like it more than The Zeppo)
Triangle (too many good Anya/Willow back-and-forths to be left out)
Doppelgangland
Tabula Rasa

Also, any episode where Spike goes on about how great the onion blossom is wins special points for awesomeness.

[Nina]

How is "Buffy vs Dracula" one of the funniest episodes?

my top 5;

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
(number one, I ignore how wrong it is to force somebody to be your girlfriend with magic.)

Doppelgangland
(Very good number two, the fact that Angel is more in shock than the scoobies is a little bit weird, but Vamp!Willow is gold.)

Beer Bad
(It's my guilty pleasure, I would never show that episode to anybody who doesn't watch Buffy, but I can't help myself ... it's funny.)

Intervention
(Buffybot is too funny, again a sick idea ... but SMG is so cute as Buffybot.)

Tabula Rasa
(Way overrated and it has some bad writing, but it's funny.)

[fitri]

I don't agree with most of those. In my opinion, they are:

01. Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered
02. Something Blue
03. Pangs
04. Him
05. Tabula Rasa

[Hekate]

I like Him, Dopplegangland, Band Candy, Something Blue, and Tabula Rasa. BBB, Living Conditions, and Pangs are close behind though. I can't watch any of those episodes without laughing myself to tears.

[Pandora's_Box]

05. Doppelgangled
04. Tabula Rasa
03. Something Blue
02. Him
01. Storyteller

[TheChosen]

1. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
2.Tabula Rasa
3.Something Blue
4.Dopelgangland
5.Beer Bad

The end of ''The Harvest'' is also pretty funny but the episode overall is not that hilarious!

[Cinderela]

My own list would be somewhat different -

1. Doppelgangland - Alyson Hannigan is total awesomeness!
2. Something Blue - Hilarity from beginning to end!
3. Pangs - Spikeisms!
4. Band Candy - Some of Giles funniest scenes!
5. Tabula Rasa - Randy & Joan!

There are so many laugh out loud quotes from these eps, I probably wouldn't know when to stop! :roll:

[The_Narrator]

1. Tabula Rasa - The whole episode is immensely funny, but I just love the meta references ('A vampire with a soul - how lame is that?' = hilarious!)
2. Storyteller - Andrew's version of events are laugh out loud funny. His battle with Willow, his confrontation with Jonathan, 'We are as Gods'.
3. Band Candy - Giles as a teenager! Listening to Cream, smashing windows, him and Joyce, his reactions to Buffy hitting Ethan, it's just brilliant!
4. Something Blue - I just love poor Riley's reaction to Buffy saying she's marrying Spike! Plus, turning Amy back for a second is pretty funny.
5. Him - The build up is worth it for the final bits where there's a split screen and we see the Scoobies all desperate in their attempts to secure RJ's love.

[Gibbs505]

1. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
2. Band Candy,
3. Doppelgangland,
4. Tabula Rasa
5. Earshot

[litzie]

Definitely Band Candy....I think that one will always be my funniest episode. No matter how many times I watch it, the jokes remain funny...and Snyder as a teenager is truly one of the best comedic choices the buffyverse ever made.

After Band Candy I have a harder time...I don't think I can say what order the next four are in. But definitely Pangs, Something Blue, Him, and...maybe Triangle. Or Maybe Earshot. Or maybe The Zeppo. Or Doomed. Or Tabula Rasa. Or...

Right, see, this is why it's hard!

[Retrograde]

1. Storyteller. Purely for 'we are as GODSSS!' :D

2. Earshot. "Sure. We can work out after school. You know, if you're not too busy having sex with my MOTHER!"

3. Halloween.
Xander: She must be right. We must have some kind of amnesia.
Buffy: I don't know what that is, but I'm certain I don't have it. I
bathe quite often!

4. Living Conditions.
Buffy: You're right. Ooh! She's even affecting my work, now. She's the Titanic. She's a crawling black cancer!
[She brings her foot up, around and down onto a bench, breaking it in two.]
Buffy: She's... other really bad things.
Oz: On the plus side you've killed the bench, which was looking shifty.

^^ My favourite quote EVER :D

5. Beer Bad. Buffy whacking Parker at the end - priceless!

[litzie]

3. Halloween.
Xander: She must be right. We must have some kind of amnesia.
Buffy: I don't know what that is, but I'm certain I don't have it. I
bathe quite often!

Ok I just have to say...that line drives me NUTS! because people in the 1700s wouldn't have associated bathing with not having diseases...and also, they wouldn't necessarily have bathed that often either, even if they were upper class, and they almost definitely wouldn't have talked about it!

/history nerd

[Revan]

/even more history nerd.

Actually they bathed once or twice a year and that's the rich. They relied on perfume mainly and the fact that they were used to the smell. And they pretty much still blamed disease on God. You only got sick if god wanted you to.

[allthings]

Pangs - A classic
Him - Love love love it
Intervention - Buffybot is all I have to say
Something Blue - Blind Giles, Spuffy wedding plans
Life Serial - Especially for the Time lopp, SMG doing that crying bit is gold

[Amuk]

1. Band Candy
2. BBB
3. Doppelgängland
4. Fear Itself
5. Something Blue

Honorable mention: Intervention, A New Man

[Enisy]

1) Tabula Rasa
2) Something Blue
3) Doppelgangland
4) Intervention
5) Life Serial

Sixth is Band Candy, seventh is Storyteller. :)

[C.O.D]

I'm surprised nobody answered with Once More, With Feeling.

[lara]

There were many, but top five:

1. Something Blue
2. Tabula Rasa
3. Intervention
4. Pangs
5. Band Candy

"Once more with feeling" for me would be 6th place, not hylarious but had many funny moments. It's one of my favorites, I just loved it, but I don't think it was exactly a comedy.

[Retrograde]

I'm surprised nobody answered with Once More, With Feeling.

That is a pretty funny episode, but I don't think it's funny overall - there are the more serious parts, like Spike's song, and 'I think I was in heaven', plus Giles and Tara's 'Wish I Could Stay'. But Xander and Anya's retro pastiche number is hilarious! Plus you can't beat 'I was able to examine the body while the police were taking witness arias' :D:D

[C.O.D]

Can't forget Anya's bunny rock solo or Queen Xander.

[selenspuffy]

My list would be (not in order)

Life Serial
Doppelgangland
Something Blue
Intervention
Story Teller

[Ralphie]

My list:

1. Doppelgängland
2. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
3. Pangs
4. Tabula Rasa
5. A New Man

[Cinderela]

I'm seeing a trend here - same eps showing up over and over! :roll:There seems to be uber-:heart: for:

Doppelgangland
Something Blue
Pangs
Band Candy
Tabula Rasa

Secondary honors seem to be

BBB
Life Serial
Intervention

I guess there are *some* things we can (mostly) agree on! :hug: :xd

[Slayer]

I can't think of 5 off the top of my head but one really funny part for me is the argument between the gang on 'The Yoko Factor' I think it is. When Giles falls off his chair then chucks his jumper on Xander. Lol

[urbanlegend23]

Life Serial
Intervention
Storyteller
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
Doppelgangland

Off the top of my head those are the five most comedic eps in no particular order. There's sooo many though.

[burkle25]

The Yoko Factor
Buffy vs. Dracula
Triangle
The Replacement
Life Serial
Tabula Rasa
Him


had to pick 7 :D

[BuffyForever86]

1. Doppelgangland
2. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
3. Storyteller
4. Tabula Rasa
5. Intervention

[urbanlegend23]

The Yoko Factor

Two words = Drunk. Giles. :roll:

I think the episode was overall was more of a serious one, though.

[carousel_girl8]

My List:

Beer Bad
Band Candy
Life Serial
Tabula Rasa
A New Man

[buffyholic]

Ok, this is hard but I´m gonna try.

1. Something Blue
2. Doppelgangland
3. Storyteller
4. Pangs
5. Halloween

Sixth place goes to Him (at least that last part with Buffy and the rocket launcher. Totally hilarious!).

[N2NOther]

I can't narrow it down to 5.

[Roses-r-Red]

Here's my list:

Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered
Tabula Rasa (although it's pretty dark at the end)
A New Man
Life Serial
Halloween (Buffy's accent is so bad that it's good and Cordelia is priceless in that episode)

[trueblue]

1) bewitched , bothered and bewildered
2) something blue
3) doppellgangland
4) band candy
5) tabula rasa ( simply for the giles anya pairing lol)

[buffyholic]

It´s always difficult to narrow down a list to only top 5 or 10. It´s just hard!

I don´t know if I mentioned it but BBB is also great.

[spuffy4life]

Have to say (not in order)
doppellgangland - Vamp Willow is awesome lol
Band Candy - Just plain hilarious
Yoko Factor - drunk giles is awesome
Something blue - Buffy and Spike and Blind giles whats not to like lol
Beer Bad - Buffy is hilarious especially the last line "So, what did we learn about beer?"
"foamy"
"good as long as thats clear"
And of course Buffy beating Parker over the head hehehehe very good moment

Joss

[buffyholic]

Imo, Band Candy is funny but it falls a little flat to me because of the whole Willow/Xander thing. They spend too much on them and that is not funny. So, Band Candy is a little weak for me.

[RuFio]

I think I only saw Living Conditions mentioned a couple times. I think this is my favorite funny episode. BUFFY is great in this episode! She is so funny in every scene-trying to hang out with giles, bitching about kathy to everyone, and their fight at the end is so good. When buffy walks in, slams the door...

"kathy"
"Buffy"
"I think we need to talk" (Kicks kathys' rug) "Oops, look what I did."
(kathy backhands buffy across the face) "Oops, look what I did."

that part is SO funny to me:2party:


others are something blue, him & doppelgangland

[spuffy4life]

lol willow is awesome in doppellgangland
"oxygen becoming an issue" LOVE that line hehehe

Joss

[Saro49]

Life Serial - I know a lot of people hate this episode but besides the annoying construction part this episode is hilarious particularly the nerds arguments.

Tabula Rasa - Two words: Randy Giles. Even if the rest of he episode wasn't hilarious the Spike and Giles exchanges are enough to put it on the list.

Him - It's just so stupid but it works. Willow trying to turn him into a girl is classic and the fight outside Woods office cracks me up every time.

Storyteller - If there's one thing Buffy does well it's blending humor and drama and nothing proves this better than Storyteller.

The Zeppo - Xander = Comic relief of Buffy; therefore the definitive Xander episode = one of the funniest Buffy episodes.
