Well, I won't understand it, but we'll let you provide the back-to-English translations, Guy.
And, frankly, I imagine we'll be spending our entire time convincing Calvin that we really DID intend to watch the DVDs.

This thread just made my day! I was actually listening to "Once More With Feeling" on my ipod when I came across it. I LOVE Buffy! I have seasons 4,5, and 6 on DVD. I saw James Marsters in concert and have met a few of the cast members.
Hmmm...all of my favorite episodes have pretty much already been mentioned.
So, funny moments. Oh!
From Buffy v. Dracula, in season five:
XANDER: (back to talking normally) Where is he?? Where's the creep that turned me into his spider-eating man-bitch?
BUFFY: He's gone.
XANDER: Dammit! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt-monkey!
BUFFY: Check. No more butt-monkey.
And this is just one of my favorite television moments ever, from Life Serial, season 6:
JONATHAN: Where're we going?
WARREN: To Final Jeopardy. Where Buffy's the one in jeopardy.
ANDREW: We are really super-villains now, like ... like Dr. No.
WARREN: Yeah, back when Bond was Connery, and movies were decent.
JONATHAN: (scornful) Who remembers Connery? I mean, Roger Moore was smooth.
WARREN: You're insane. You're short, and you're insane.
ANDREW: I like Timothy Dalton! (Warren smacks Andrew upside the head.)Hey!
WARREN: Don't make me pull over, okay?
Okay, this post is long enough now. : )
I will be more than happy to host a 'Buffy' viewing party (I am in Brooklyn....)
That old trick.
Do you know how many times I "saw" the movie Elizabeth before I actually saw it?
I'd could post some pics of me and my friends dressed up as BtVS vampires for Fasching but that'd be too embarrasing since it was a few years ago and I look not very attractive in those pics...
But it was sooo much fun! I made the masks myself!
Just send them privately.
For a Buffy party, I'd go to Brooklyn. Just not Brownville.
This girl's got class.
Are there any episodes you strongly dislike?
I think "Buffy vs. Dracula" was a low point of the show...
And I know I'm a little late but I HAVE TO mention that Anya's speech in "The Body" was one of the most emotional moments of "Buffy", in my opinion...
Sorry, I don't know episode names, but I disliked the one where Xander is taken prisoner by his praying mantis teacher.

I'm with you on the praying mantis episode, pianoman. I'm not very fond of seasons 1-3 on the whole. I mean, I like them quite a lot but I don't like them as much as seasons 4-7. What can I say? Neither Angel nor Riley were any good for Buffy in my opinion.
I can't say I really hated any episodes, but anything that had to do with Riley (and all the stupid army stuff) kinda irked me. Other than Hush and Restless, season 4 was a pretty weak season, I feel.
Didn't mind the Riley episodes - he was great looking and even better looking without the shirt on.
*is no longer friends with pianoman*
Haaated Riley. Haaated most of Season 4 aside from some good episodes.
Season 7 was worse. An episode I hated? Try a line from an episode I hated:
Buffy (to Giles): "I think you've taught me everything..." She would *never* say that! I screamed at the TV!
So many season 7 episodes...Xander's eye being out, the episode with Ashante was retarded, everyone ditching Buffy, god those slayers were annoying.
Here's some funny moments:
Something Blue. Buffy and Spike engaged!
In Becoming, Joyce asking Spike if they've met, and Spike answers last time you threated me with an ax if I ever came near you daughter, and Joyce was like oh.
Tabula Rosa! Randy Giles, the "hug"...
Xander trying to think of anything but sex in Earshot
And another great moment--Cordelia ditching her friends for Xander. Awww.
I'll be back soon with quotes. Yay for too much time on my hands.
Cordelia: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan.
Oz: We attack the Mayor with humus.
Cordelia: I stand corrected.
Buffy: Harmony's a vampire? She must be dying without a reflection.
Spike: This is the crack team that foils my every plan? I am deeply shamed.
Buffy: I don't know what to do.
Angel: Then let me decide for you. I can face this thing.
Buffy: You can't.
Angel: Look, I, I can at least buy you enough time for Willow's spell to bind it. Buffy, this is worse than anything we've ever faced. It's the only way.
Buffy: I can't watch you die again.
Angel: I love you.
Buffy: I love you.
Angel: Nothing can change that. Not even death (aww!)
Anya: We're just kinda thrown by the, you having sex with Spike.
Buffy: The who whatting how with huh?
Anya: Okay, that's denial. That comes before anger.
Buffy: I am not having sex with Spike.
Anya: Anger.
Xander: No one is judging you. It's understandable. Spike is strong and mysterious and sort of compact but well-muscled...
Buffy: I am not having sex with Spike, but I'm starting to think you are.
Giles: Dear god, Buffy, there's only so much I can take. We're going to have to change the system. A fourteen-year-old's too old to be babysat, and it's not fair on her.
Buffy: What'd she make you do?
Giles: Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.
Anya: How do I know you won't make another pass at Xander as you did two years ago when he was with Cordelia?
Willow: Hello? Gay now.
Xander: You're considered somewhat cool.
Oz: I am?
Xander: Is it because you always tend to express yourself in short, non-commital sentences?
Oz: Could be.
Xander: So, Buffy, how'd the slaying go last night?
Buffy: Xander.
Xander: I mean, how'd the *laying* go? No, I don't mean that either.
Xander: So, we Bronzin' it tonight?
Willow: Wednesdays, kinda beat...
Xander: Well, we could grind our enemies into talcum powder with a sledgehammer, but, gosh, we did that last night.
Buffy: Have I ever let you down?
Giles: Do you want me to answer that, or shall I just glare?
Xander: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with deadboy on this one.
Angel: Could you not call me that?
Buffy: I'm sorry, it's just been a really weird day.
Xander: Yeah, Buffy died and everything.
Willow: Wow, harsh.
Cordelia: And if you get me out of this, I swear I'll never be mean to anyone ever again. Unless, they really deserve it or if it's that time of the month, in which case I don't think you or anyone else can hold me responsible...
Joyce: You belong in a good old fashioned college with keg parties and boys. Not here with Hellmouths and vampires.
Buffy: Not really seeing the distinction.
Buffy: Oh, look at my poor neck... all bare and tender and exposed. All that blood, just pumping away.
Giles: Oh, please.
Spike: Giles, make her stop.
Giles: If those two don't kill each other, I might lend a hand.
"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does.
So what? Are we helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts.
That's when you find out who you are."

And the person who finds a Buffy quote in my "Message Board Celebrity Of The Day" answers will get... uh... a present...

Oh, I'll definately find it.
I'll be waiting...
I must be the only person on the planet who has never watched BUFFY.
I don't think I was ever home when it came on.
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/10/05
ok, I'm not positive cause its been forever since I've watched ANY buffy (i never see the reruns on TV any more) but if you've already posted it the only thing i think it can be is,
"I'd invite it to play a nice game of Parcheesi!"
WOW! Very good! The "nice game of Parcheesi" part is from the episode "Ted" with John Ritter!
I guess I have to think about a present, now... *g*

it sounded very Joss Whedon.
ETA
I'm sure you can find a good prize :)
i must say that Seth Green as Oz was THE HIGHTLIGHT of my Buffy viewing days, and after Conviction (the TV show) I realized how hot the guy who played Jesse (killed in like episode 1) was and wished they'd kept him around!
Wasn't the guy playing Jesse on Six Feet Under, too?
