View Full Version : "I love this show but come onnnn.." Cheesiest Buffyverse Moments Ever

Come on, we all love Buffy and Angel but sometimes everyone's favorite character says something that just makes you cringe... sometimes you see the most ridiculous looking costume ever.. sometimes the entire situation just seems too silly.
I'd state that we should all exclude season 1 because the entire season is pretty much cheesy.
In my opinion: Buffyverse's cheesiest moment ever:
Angel's comments in "End of Days:"
7.21 End Of Days
ANGEL
(to Caleb)
You are so gonna lose.
ANGEL
God, I’ve missed watching this.
Ugh.. I want to puke.
Some runner-ups:
1. The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco
2. Kennedy's lame speeches in The Killer In Me
3. The ending of Underneath
4. Anya's ridiculous speech in Empty Places
5. Buffy's triumphant return in Chosen:
7.22: Chosen
BUFFY
I want you… to get out of my face!
Hahaha.. come on!!!
What are your cheesiest moments?

I didn't really find any of those cheesy.
I found Buffy's.. "I"m talking about watching my lover die" in Graduation Day I and Spike's.. "I'm drowing in you Summers I'm drowing in you" in Crush pretty unbearable to watch.

Mogs! I was just about to use the one from "Graduation"! That was cheesy as anything.
The line itself is kinda cheesy, but the context makes it super-goofy. Teenagers throwing around the phrase 'lover' is a bit dubious, but using it on someone you slept with once, more than a year before, which triggered one of the most miserable experiences of your life... that's ridiculous.

Haha yeah I can't stand when Buffy says this it just irritates me so much. Although I find Spike's "I'm drowning in your Summers I'm drowning in you" worse because it just sounds so ridiculous coming out of his mouth. Buffy has used some irritating words in the past.. I don’t like when she refers to people’s partners as honeys in a serious tone.. I find that just as barf-worthy, but it kind of makes the whole lover thing to be expected when Spike's is so random.
Who wrote Crush? I want to send them an email :D

The end of 'Ammends'.
Surely that has to be on of the shmaltziest bit's of cheese in the history of cheese.
I think they were aiming for warm cuddly romance but they missed by a mile for me.

The TWOP recapper for "Amends" said something like "Look, in the sky, is that snow? No, it's giant cheese anvils".
I didn't think that Buffy's rally in "Chosen" was cheesy, I just didn't understand what they were going for in that scene. The First seemed to be affected by this somehow, and it makes no sense. If it really was just a self-affirmation/pun, then, yeah, cheesy.

The whole Angel and Buffy speech was cheesy but I actually kinda liked the snow :roll: I thought that was really well done cheese that didn't make you cringe.. unlike the argument beforehand. :s

Becoming Part 2, yes, the part right after Angel gets his soul back and everything's "jim dandy" ...
tangent is definitely right about Amends, that was just stupid. How much holding-hands-looking-at-the-snow can one person take?
Nearly the entire beginning of "Him" is really cheesy (except for Dawn falling over - I think we all wanted to see that), but I think that was the point - to make a parody of how in all action movies, all the women fall in love with the lead male character, who's brave, daring, etc...

3. The ending of Underneath
Which scene do you mean by "the ending of Underneath"? Lindsey's speech about how the Apocalypse has been going on all along? Wesley and Illyria's conversation about people walling themselves in to deal with the world? I think both of those scenes are quite meaningful, especially the Wesley/Illyria one.
I notice that you, and many other people, have come up with many examples from late Season Seven. And it's true that the show did try to end on a positive, empowering note that often ended up being cheesy. On the other hand, some of it worked out all right. Like on the "Chosen" commentary, Joss says he was worried that people would find the girl playing baseball (from the activated Potentials that the screen flashes to) to be cheesy. But it turned out that a lot of people really loved that image the way they were supposed to.
As for what I think is cheesy...well, there are plenty of Bangel moments that are inevitably going to seem cheesy to me and to many others. Bangel has enough resemblance to some chick-flick romance that cheesiness just comes with the territory. :p

I did actually think that was extremely cheesy. So Joss was right in some cases.
Well, the cheesiest moment that comes to my mind is the stupid Shark in Tabula Rasa...come on!
And the playing poker for kittens....groan!
Ok, but how about in Hells Bells when the entire wedding congregation starts fighting - Buffy juggling - pretty much the entire episode, come to think of it.
And don't get me wrong, I love Oz...but the werewolf costumes were ridiculous...especially in B&the Beasts...LOL. It was like a big ball of fur hopping down the hallway after them...quite honestly, if I'd been in that situation I probably would have died from laughter, not from being mauled.

Me neither--well maybe the End of Days one...but Angel was jsut acting so OOC in that scene I wanted to puke in general!
I actually think the Spike line is okay, given his whole obsession...it was like he was drowning! The lover line is cheesy though...the only time when it's okay for her to call him lover is in Becoming Part 2, after Angelus had called her that so often, and she says "Hello, lover" when she appears and attacks!
I agree with LRae about Oz's costume, sooo fake and ridiculous! :roll: And I know it was supposed to be cheesy but...the scene b/t Buffy and Angel in The Zeppo that Xander sees is also of course still cheesy! I too also think the Chosen montage at the end of the girls getting empowered was pretty cheesy....
I think my favorite cheesy line though is Buffy's line to Angel in Reptile Boy, "When I kiss you, I want to die!" :lol:
KingofCretins
28-06-07, 05:35 PM
I *love* the scene in "The Zeppo". They knew it was cheesy, though, it was there to be cheesy... which is why it's so perfect when Xander shows up and they just stare at him, teary-eyed, patiently waiting for him to leave so they can get back to sucking :)

Hmm, really? I see those egs as more kitschy/campy than cheesy. They're self-knowing, they're not trying to reach for emotion and failing (which is what I see cheese as a lot of the time...really crass depictions of what's supposed to be a deep emotion. Like US sitcoms with people hugging a lot and saying I love you mom. Which, I'm sure they do love their mom, but it's the way you phrase it and the context you say it in that creates le fromage).

Yeah I agree. The scene in "The Zeppo" is without a doubt made cheesy on purpose in order for comic relief. One of the funniest BtVS moments ever.

How about the seen in season 3 Angel (not sure which episode) where Gunn and Wesley are watching Fred with the baby and they both say "Adorable" at which point Wesley claims he was talking about the baby and Gunn actually says that he was talking about the "hot mama". That one kills me. Seriously does anyone think that those are words Gunn would use and also Fred is adorable-cute-beautiful even, but hot mama? That's just cheese from can cheesy.

I know you will all probably disagree with me but I think that last part in The Prom when she gets the award for class protector is cheesy. Maybe it's the fact that if that happened to me as I was getting punch, I would pass out from embarresment if I got a bedazzled umbrella. The whole, we were never friends part made me gag a little. Another cheesy moment is when the Mayor says to Faith, "Miniature golf", can't think of the episode but that was something cheesy that made me laugh.

Yes! Me too! A loan "shark". :rolleyes: It's just a good ep but that just brings it down a little. Whose idea was it to go all literal on the loan shark idea anyway?! Cheesy, indeed.

I know! TR is one of my favorite Buffy eps of all time, and the only real detractor was that STUPID SHARK!
BTW Jenni Lou - I just love your sig & Avatar (Chloe from 24, right?) But what's the significance of the bomb? Everytime I see this I ponder that and it's driving me crazy! :p

S6's whole theme is to make banal & ridiculous the metaphors which previously were cosmically sinister, and a loan Shark, not a demony Shark but a two-legged extremely literal one who deals in kittens rather than the black arts, is required, like the snake-phallus in "Doublemeat Palace". It's not cheese: it's design. They could've made a nasty looking shark-like demon -- instead they get a Joe Pesci-sized one who talks like a character out of "Guys and Dolls".
Boljaxa's Eye, though, doesn't have that excuse. Nor do Buffy's speeches -- except the "Chloe was an idiot" speech -- in S7.
The cheesiest of cheese is the big group moment in "Chosen". "Oh, look, here they are, get out your hankies and feel how much you loooooooooovveee this show and all it's meant to you aren't you going to miss them all as much as I do already?" -- Joss, go play with your -- babies. ;)

That's so funny...I got my honey turned onto Buffy/Angel last year, and I was really building up Tabula Rasa when it was time to watch it...we got 5 minutes in and he was like 'you LIKE this episode'? Come on, look at that shark! :lol: Now I've gotten him hooked on the Buffyverse, but he still makes fun of me for liking Tabula Rasa - his words - that shark is just so, CHEESY! :roll:

I have to admit, the ending of Chosen was totally Cheesy...they're all standing there like 'Gee, what are we going to do now Buffy?' and her with the dopey grin on her face - uck, gagging in the cheese!~:)

Hmm, I don't really think I found anything cheesy, but that could just be me loving it, althought I do agree that Oz's costume did sometime look fake (They can have a good proper looking demon but no werewolf?) What also annoyed me is we really never got a proper look at Oz in his werwolf form.
Lol Loan Shark! I didn't even think of that before you guys mentioned it..
Veverka
02-07-07, 07:24 AM
I found Dawn's first kiss kinda cheesy, but actually, I find that whole episode hard to watch. It reminds me of being a teenager and the horribleness of it all!
As for the loan shark, I love TR so much that I pretty much accept that there's a shark, you know? The rest of the ep more than makes up for it.

i think in the episode Buffy vs Dracula, when Xander is posessed by Dracula. when Dracula first appears to him when he's alone outside at night walking home and then after he leaves Xander stars acting so foolish making these weird little giggles and i just thought that was so cheesy, like OMG what is he doing? jaja
The episode that makes me cringe and think "what were they thinking" has got to be Doublemeat. It makes me wonder if the muses of the writers had gone on vacation and ran out of actual intense plot so we get stuck with this...parody of what it is like to work at McDonalds or Burger King. I rarely skip over episodes when watching the dvds but I tend to skip this one. A little too cheesy for me.

Hey, I like the Loan Shark! :lol:
Just watched parts of IWRY....the whole thing is a cheesefest, but especially when she keeps saying "I won't forget".....and then she does! :p In fact the whole title I Will Remember You is rather silly....Plus, as amazing as SMG is, her face looked kind of funny when she was crying in IWRY--like weirder than it normally looks when she cries....
Also, when Angel has to take a shower in She, and her spine starts glowing around him....:rolleyes: come on!
This ones from ANGEL: The Wesley and the talking cheeseburger man. I don't know what they were thinking with that. They gave him a weird voice and, If I remember correctly, it was a key point for Season 3.

There's a scene in Angel Series one, where Angel and some girl link wrists and pour champagne into each other's mouths. I wasn't able to watch the rest of that episode, the cheese hurt my brain.
Actually a lot of AtS 1 post Doyle's death had an alarmingly high cheese-factor.

No way was that grin dopey! I loved the look on her face then, it makes me want to smile every time I look at it. I didn't like the whole thing about the mall and the Gap and stuff though, that was pretty cheesy.
The moments that make me cringe in Buffy/Angel the most are when
a) Angel is being tortured or in pain (I think that was David Boreanaz's greatest acting weakness)
b) Anytime there is a big monster like the big snake in Shadow that she killed Jabba the Hutt style or that huge monster in the sewer in Band Candy. I liked it so much better in an episode of Angel when Wes and Gunn just run after something huge and you never see it and they just describe it later.
c) Any moment in the episode "why we fight" in Angel season 5. That is the only episode of either series that just completely and utterly fell flat for me.
Buffy/Angel are a slightly cheesy couple at times and that is completely acknowledged in the Zeppo and because it is acknowledged, it's completely ok that it is that way. For me at least.

Hmmmm some of the dialogue can be annoyingly cheesy. Buffy's "When you kiss me, I wanna die." Spike's "You should have let him kill me." Grrr I hate when Spike acts like this, pathetic!! Oh, the whole it's about the power talk makes me yawn.
I think the cheesiest out of cheese is how they kept repeating "From beneath you it devours" in every single episode in early S7. Stop it already, we know!

Here's another one: Angel saying that when he first saw Buffy he wanted to take her heart and hold it in his hands to warm it! Um, Angel, you're dead--you're not warming anything! :roll:

omg i also want to skip those too! like if she really couldn't find another type of job. Slayer meets Hambuger Paties... YIKES! :roll: that was a big 360 degrees.

I know a lot of people find that Xander thing in Buffy vs. Dracula to be cheesy, but I just find it hilarious because he is exactly like Renfield in Bram's Stoker's book. Right down to the bug eating!
One example I found of cheese (even though it was in a sad moment) was in A Hole in the World when Angel said, "I'll say it anyway. Winifred Burkle." I absolutely adore Fred and I know it was a serious situation, but I couldn't help but be like, "Come on!"

Agreeing with the, "when you kiss me, I wanna die" one. Yikes, what were they thinking with that?
I have to admit to thinking that the whole Cookie Dough speech was awful at the time. I actually flung a cushion at my TV at that point and declared the rest of the finale (well, the next three minutes, at least) as unwatchable.
Looking back and having watched it again, I don't find it as bad as I did first but back then... I was fuming :lol: I remember thinking, "Buffy's gonna show up on Angel next year and say, 'hey Angel, guess what, my cookies are baked'..." ARGH.
Thankfully, that never happened, which is probably why the scene grew on me, LOL.
I think Him was sort of meant to be cheesy, but that episode just grated on me from start to finish. Quite possibly one of my least favourite eps of the Jossverse... *shudders*
I know a lot of people find that Xander thing in Buffy vs. Dracula to be cheesy, but I just find it hilarious because he is exactly like Renfield in Bram's Stoker's book. Right down to the bug eating!
EXACTLY! That's why I LOVE that episode so much...it was such a fun parody of Stoker's Dracula. I've always felt that anybody who didn't get Xander in that episode must not have seen the movie or read the book, because if you did - LOL! It's hilarious! :roll:
A New slice of cheese...I was rewatching Prophecy Girl last night and after Buffy's brought back to life and she and Angel and Xander are walking towards the school Buffy says "Oh look, a bad guy". I about fell over laughing! It was so cheesy I about gagged! :lol:

Very true...I also love Xander in it for that, b/c it is just like in the book....and how can you not love "The Master...bator!" and "The Dark Prince....bator!" LOL, I didn't catch it at first! :lol: And then you have Xander's great line at the end about not being everyone's buttmonkey anymore, the "spider-eating manbitch" or the one who "gets the funny syphillis". Poor Xander! :lol:

I always liked that scene. On another note is that the only time in all 7 seasons where they use the starting theme music during the show?
I think it was...as far as I can recall. :)
Ok, yet another hunk of cheese...at the end of Some Assembly Required after Buffy saved the day, Angel comes running up and says "I saw the fire...I knew you'd be here." :roll: WHY? Is she the fire department now? :lol: I just finished watching this episode and I about peed my pants when he said that...how LAME! And then he just sort of stood there, like he didn't know what else to say...it was a riot! :D

Commotion, mayhem, fire at Sunnydale High. The same Sunnydale High that was "the centre of Sunnydale's very own Hellmouth" and that Buffy attended, it makes sense to me that Buffy would be there.
As Buffy states in Doomed "I saw the lights and knew this was a Buffy party!"
It seems both Buffy and Angel have the same kind of reasoning. I really don’t see the cheese? :s

They use the theme music at the end of Prophecy Girl as well, when the gang are staring down at the Master's bones. Although, this time it is played on piano and is a slower version. I'm not exactly sure but I think the same Piano version may be being played at the end of Chosen when the gang are staring out at Sunnydale's crater, although I may be wrong about that.
I liked that Prophecy Girl scene as well, I think that was the good kind of cheesy and not the "yack" kinda cheesy, although the way she knocks the vamp to the floor always looks incredibly odd to me?

i thought what was really cheesy in S1 was the overture music they used everytime Buffy staked a vamp. i mean that little music sound that sounded like a piano or acordeon, i'm not really sure what it was but it just sounded too cheesy, and the way they would play it all the time she staked a vamp, it was specifically played at that moment. ohh i just remembered that they also played it when she would make her fighting jumps, like in a scene at the Bronze when the Harvest was taking place i think.

When they'd include Amy's mom's scream when she's hit with her own spell in Witch in the opening credits for the first two seasons--it's the only time they ever included sounds from the clips in the credits, and it drove me crazy every time they played the scream in those credits (and season 2 is one fo my fave seasons, which I like to watch a lot, sometimes with the credits for old-times sake...and then I have to cringe!)--it just sounded so cheesy and stupid and it irritated the hell out of me....I was so glad when they got rid of it for the third season credits (along with the new Buffy writing in the title, and the improved remix version of the opening song--though then I don't watch season 3 much....

I thought it was at Sunnydale High? Doesn't Cordy get kidnapped at a Sunnydale High football game and brought down stairs into the basment or something? And don't Jenny and Giles walk down the steps of Sunnydale High with all the fire engines flashing around them talking about their eventful date?
I thought it was at Sunnydale High? Doesn't Cordy get kidnapped at a Sunnydale High football game and brought down stairs into the basment or something? And don't Jenny and Giles walk down the steps of Sunnydale High with all the fire engines flashing around them talking about their eventful date?
She does get kidnapped from the football game, but I'm pretty sure they took her somewhere else...:lol: And Jenny & Giles came to the scene with Xander & Willow and helped rescue Cordelia...so they were standing outside of the flaming building when the fire engines & flashing lights were around them talking about the date...;)

Here's another one: Angel saying that when he first saw Buffy he wanted to take her heart and hold it in his hands to warm it! Um, Angel, you're dead--you're not warming anything!
sherrlina - hehe I totally agree with you on this one. The only redeeming part of the scene was when the writers had Buffy and Angel stop and comment on how gross that actually sounded. :D
Okay, I have one I don't think has been mentioned yet. It's Buffy's line from Halloween (2.6):
"Dates are things normal girls have. Girls who have time to think
about nail polish and facials. You know what I think about? Ambush
tactics. Beheading. Not exactly the stuff dreams are made of."
Ugh. Such an awkward, clunky piece of dialogue. And the delivery was oh-so-angsty. *rolls eyes* Who talks like that? And keeps a straight face?

Ive never liked that line either. Also at that point i dont ever recall Buffy Ambushing anyone so she obviously didnt think about it alot.

Plus "not exactly the stuff dreams are made of?" Sounds way too Shakespearean or something for Buffy to be saying that....that line also always annoyed me a little, thanks for pointing it out! it is pretty cheesy....:xd
Another cheese-fest is in Becoming 2 when Buffy and her mom are fighting in the kitchen...Buffy says something like "I'd much rather be watching TV or talking about boys, or God even studying...but I have to go save the world, again!" :roll: gosh, it was so funny...and so corny! :xd

No but weren't they walking down Sunnydale High steps when all the flashing lights around them? They came out of the front entrance hand in hand.
the kitten gambeling is season 6 is cheezie. I hate that all part... and the shark demon was too.

The entire Winnebago scene at the end of season 5 is just so silly I can't help but laugh at it. Buffy fighting the crusade knights on top of the camper... It's got that same sort of Tarantino feel like the scene in Desperado where the guitar cases actually house machine guns and surface to air missiles. Or the scenes in From Dusk Til Dawn where the mood goes from this really heavy drama to the good guys shooting at the vampires with supersoakers full of holywater. I almost slid off my couch the first time I saw that.
I actually rather liked the shark...but yeah...very cheesy. Always thought the look SMG gets on her face she's asked to do 'a little freelance work' was adequate payoff for putting up with the slim that delivered the line. And the kitten poker thing is a riot. The idea that Spike might need a tiny tabby as an advance when cats seem to reproduce at a rate just a slightly slower than rabbits is absurd and therefore hits my funny-meter.
Note: I didn't hate any of this... There's not a single element of the show that I find all that tedious. Just can't watch the first season. You want to talk tedious...cheese maybe? How about all the predictable, boring... The entire feel of the show changes post S1. Just about every good show goes through an awkward first year. They are too busy setting up the characters to really say much else.

Lol, definitely, though we agreed to exclude season 1 moments, since the whole of season 1 was one big cheesefest! :lol:
Talking about speeches... All Buffy's speeches in season 7 were BORING. This is the second thing that makes me turn the episode off or leave the room. Way yoo pathetic and NOT the Buffy I got used to in seasons 1-5. :(

I didn't find her speech in Chosen boring but agree about all the others. At least the show made fun of itself though during Storyteller. Although I don't see why they make fun of themselves than have Buffy make another speech in Dirty Girls?
