This one is GMMR’s fault. She’s speeding through Buffy for the first time ever (and loving it!) and she got to season 5 today. Unlike others, I loved “Buffy vs. Dracula” and this moment is just one of the many reasons:
XANDER: 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.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 5×01 – “Buffy vs. Dracula”








The funny syphilis. Hee. I can’t listen to commercials about the Chumash Casino without thinking about Xander.
One of my favourite Buffy eps. and quotes! I even have the icon to prove it. And it goes very well with my quote for today…
Same show different season.
“Sorry to barge in. I’m afraid we have a slight apocalypse.”
As soon as I heard it last night, I thought “Oh yeah, that’s one for the RTVW blog.”
Carrie: Me too! Although I tend to start singing, “His penis got diseases…” instead of thinking about this particular episode.
Jo: I know, that’s why I love ya! I can be shallow too and admit that I partly love this episode for the way SMG looks in it. What?? Is that wrong?
Ahh, that’s a great quote! I want to start using that at work.
I use the phrase Butt-monkey all the time. I love this phrase.
