Buffy S4E5 Ball Bag

In which Buffy is frightened by an out of control blazing FIYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Know how you can tell a movie or tv show came out the first years of the new millennium? When there’s a kung fu fight scene set to techno! What an awful gank off the Matrix. Nice imagination, shitty director of this episode. Get fucked.

Buffy is also day dreaming in psychology while her super bitchy professor is teaching about Frued. TOO BAD FRUED IS NOT TAUGHT IN PSYCHOLOGY CLASS.

Also Xander supposedly needs a fake ID to become a bartender but the actor who plays him is like 30. That’s so fucking old. 30 year olds gross me out. Pathetic fogies. Way to be a third done with your pointless ass life, fag.

It’s 10 minutes into the episode and I can already tell it’s going to felch. The writing is doo doo. There’s a stereotypical elitist preppy college snob that talks down to Xande a la the guy from Good Will Hunting who likes apples (who is also the excellent Cyril from the HBO tv show Oz). So many things wrong with the scene. 1) this guy has no idea Xander doesn’t go to school. A lot of college age bartenders in college towns also go to college. 2) who is the guy going to shitty community college to talk down to fucking anybody? 3) His intellectual textbook jargon is all bullshit. Geo-political ramifications of bio-medical engineering? Fuck off, writer, that’s not even good fake smart blather.

And because they mention the name of a particular beer a few times and the name of the episode is called “Beer Bad” you already know that the beer is magical and it does bad things to people. Then Buffy et al will solve the problem and everything will go back to normal. And there is still a half an hour left to go. Motherfuck this episode.

And they keep dragging this Parker-Buffy shit out. They boned, great, cool story, move on. And Parker doesn’t win himself any sympathy points with his over wrought, sappy justification of one night stands. Buffy is being a psycho but he sucks too. Fuck the both of them.

Wait a minute. What the hell is this? GOD DAMN IT. THEY RUINED MY CAVEMAN EPISODE. I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR A CAVEMAN EPISODE SINCE THE FIRST SEASON AND NOW WHEN I FINALLY GET ONE ITS THIS DRECK. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Oh look at that, the cursed beer turned the college kids into dumb ass cavemen. WOW. WHAT AN INSPIRED ALLEGORY. THIS. IS. BULLSHIT.

Buffy drank some of the beer so now she’s also turning into a caveman. Ok, fine, she’s going to mutate into cro-magnon woman. Fine. But so how does her hair turn instantly into dirty dreadlocks? Oh I know why, because the makers of this television program are dickheads.

The merciful end is accompanied by a remorseful Parker apologizing to caveBuffy, who responds by bashing him over the head with a stick. Was that supposed to be cathartic? More like caFARTic.

F. Easily one of the worst episodes of the series.
