Except possibly Bad Eggs.
but that has the terribly unconvincing, yet amusing bit with Giles and the "gas leak". Yes, it's 2 seconds out of the show, but it made me laugh.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
We MST3Ked Doublemeat Palace here, as 3 lawyers from W&H, watching surveillance tapes from Buffy's life as punishment for screwing up minor things in the company. I also remember "Donna Martin Graduates!" getting in there, somewhere. And a lot of 12 year olds humor. And the Dead Parrot Sketch.
That was a good thing wrt this episode.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I can usually think of at least one good thing to say about every Buffy episode, but nothing is coming to mind on that one.
I did manage to convert a friend with that one - he was himself a recent fast food hell veteran, and the creepy, depressing orientation video they made poor Buffy watch had him simultaneously laughing, crying and screaming.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The Doublemeat hat is good for a giggle. As is Xander's face when he thinks he ate people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How did I just now learn that Halfrek actually was Cecily? I am so ashamed.

I thought it was just the same actress...was Cecily really a vengeance demon? That puts a whole new spin on Spike's creation story.

Spike said "Cecily?" as a throw away line. Not a plot point, but canon. Fan service.

so if she was a vengeance demon on assigment while spike was lovelorn William, that was just a coincidence that they met? I mean, didn't she lean towards vengeance for children? What was she doing hanging out in high society having embarring poems written to her? Or did Joss just like the actress, re-cast her as Halfrek, and then have so many fans notice that he had to either confirm or deny them being the same character?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I believe it is the latter.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Well, her saying "William?" was kind of a nod in the ep.
