Define "funny"?
In this context, used to mean funny as opposed to heartrendingly sad ('The Gift' is sad; 'Superstar' could be argued as sad but is more likely to leave us laughing than crying). So, basically, I'm laughing not crying (mostly).
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Well I think OMWF is one of the saddest episodes of all, at the end.
But I know what you mean. And there are three "funny" episodes, in the sense of "funny peculiar", aren't there? Hush, Superstar and OMWF.

I'd throw The Body (as it were) into that category.

OMWF is sad at the end, and I added a 'mostly' on because there were tinges of sadness throughout. But while I suspect that a re-watch with a mind for the things that are really happening to the people (ie, a fic writer's viewing) will bring me close to tears, my intial reaction was to try to fall out of my chair with the laughing too hard.
Hush, Superstar and OMWF.
I've never seen 'Hush'. Sadly. But I'd count things like Beer Bad and Fear Itself in the 'funny' bag.

In terms of format of the show, "The Body" is certainly different in that it contains no music, but I'm not sure I'd put it into that category.

I would, I would, if a) I could get to rental place, and b) folks who've been on my behalf in past have discovered that our local rental shops (both of them) don't have any Buffy. Which is pathetic. So I'm waiting for them to re-run it, which hopefully they'll do sometime. Sky One skipped it this summer. They also skipped The Body, which I also missed.
Before I was ill I really didn't keep up with Buffy very well, did I? And then I didn't watch any when I was very ill. It's this convalesing that's got me obssesive.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's true what they say. That which doesn't kill us really does make us stronger.

Stronger = becoming a geek who is Whedon's slavish minion?
Hum. Intresting use of the word.

Always Anti-fascist!
Heh. But "Hush" is a very good episode. I'd have to say it's one of my favorites(Maybe I should put the "u" in, in UnAmericans)
