Huh.

First time that I've read the short description of a TWoP recap of Buffy and decided not to read the recap.

Still, if he doesn't like The Zeppo that just confirms my feeling that he and I do not share a sense of humor.

Because... Xander. Sex! Melodramatic B/A moment! Zombies! Bombs!

Wish I'd taken your advice, but I was so damn bored. His recap just confirms my theory, though, that people who don't like the episode don't understand that the subplot of the world ending isn't supposed to be taken seriously at all.

You mean that he wanted to know more about the world ending? But... subplot. Subplot.

No, he didn't want to knoe more about it, he just kept saying "Are we supposed to talk this seriously?"

He didn't get that you weren't? Huh. Ooookay.

You know, thinking back, that explains some of his complaints in other reviews.

Yeah. Like that "Lover's Walk" is overrated. Pfft.

Total word. I mean, again, what's not to love?

Spike is evil. And drunk. And he makes fun of B/A. Yet is Dumb Plan Guy.

And the ending is just.

*sniffle*

I don't like the ep much, but that's because I'm bad with parodies.

I don't like Couch Baron, either. He tries too hard.

Just had two consecutive sentences start with "I don't like". Huh. I like Checkpoint.

There. Negativity cancelled out. Heh.

Hee.

And I think that you're right about CB.

I wonder if there are defining charactistics for people who like parodies and those who don't. I'm always up for a good parody, and I'm irreverent in general. That may be part of it. I take Buffy about as seriously as I take anything, but The Zeppo is one of my favorite episodes.

Then again, my favorite parodies are ones that encourage you to laugh with rather than at.
