Going Through the Motions - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[puruttyka]

why did you mirrored the video?

[LiiLFREAKx0x]

I'm obsessed with Buffy but idk why everyone says this is the best episode ever yea its creative but i think there is tons of better episodes than this one lol

[GhostBrigader]

Dancing demons are epic!

[Billie4Mozzarella]

Is it too late to binge on episodes and become a Buffy fan?

[sirusbones]

@Billie4Mozzarella Absolutely not! I just got started three months ago. Just got to season 6, and I am totally in love with it! Best show ever! :)

[zembuktoo]

Shes not even half the girl is...ooow

[DeathRebirthSenshi]

I love how despite her depression, etc., she's still beating the crap out of all of them. lol.

[fairygirl609]

The classic Disney moment where she sings "Aliiiive." Through the ashes of a dead vampire. ;)

[kbug3212]

i started watching this when i was 10

[MissJuliette1998]

On est en 2012 et j'aime toujours Buffy !

We are in 2012 and I love always Buffy !

BUFFY FOREVER !

[atalantatheslayer]

SPUFFY FOR EVER

[thetangeledivy]

this is my favorite song <3

[14DaviC]

OMG! Grown up Connor!

[zXBiGjOShXz]

COTD sent me here...

[JRRTolkienLOTR]

0:39 - O.k that's gotta be favorite 'dance scene' of the song!

And 0:49 is DEFINITELY my favorite line!

"She's not even half the girl she--ow." 

[nobearshere]

ten years! I feel old.

[jenigoboom]

She ain't got that swing.

[kingelf3]

that demond makes me lol every time "shes not even even half the girl she oww

[Danzih134]

I'm only 14 and i started watching this when i was 12. If i had to pick my favorite tv show it would either be Buffy. What is sad is that most people don't know the amazing show that is Buffy. There's so many characters and plots and romances and when some real life troubles of a teenager or young adult. From Buffy dealing with highschool to fighting a God to dying (Twice) to a musical. Thumbs up from everyone who thinks Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best!

[1630RevelloDrive2]

My favorite series. Ever..

[fakjbf]

"She's not even half the girl she - OW!"

[arvetis]

Any Love Hurts alums?

[littlered99100]

awesome!!!

buffy is the best show in the world

[Lifediscussion]

I love Buffy. Both the show, and the character.

[kimmy123763]

yes we all have grown that old.

[BlackShadowMagicxx]

'she's not even half the girl she.. ow..'

[iwannab0123]

When I first saw this episode I was like: ".....MUSICAL?!?..." It was very strange and then later, I found out that it was all about for their another mission xD

[Missymyers1]

<33333333333

[69coolchris]

This is one of my favourite episodes. Who'd have thought they could all sing and dance...Well. I miss the show. Its a shame the animated series never happened.

[snuglebunnysophie]

@69coolchris The animated series would have been amazing.

[jesustonight]

Is the image reversed in this video? i aways remember the saved guy coming from the other side of the tree

though it has been 8 years since i watched it

[mranimeman111]

@jesustonight it is...they do this to keep it from getting copyrighted. Hope I helped

[Randy1012]

"She's not even half the girl she--owwww!"

Cracks me up every time. I miss this show so much.

[IshipSpuffy123]

@Randy1012 aha same!!

[pokemonmasterty42]

@TheBuffylol your sick and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[gotmog22]

I did not know that 4 vampires had Youtube accounts

[sighcantthinkofaname]

"Will I stay this way forever? Tap-dance through my life's endevor?"

I'm going through depression right now, and I can really identify with this.

[Clarkkent408]

this is great. thanks so much for the upload

[NavyNCIS1998]

"How can i repay...?"

"Whatever "

Haha killed me :P

[BuffySummersWannabe]

@NavyNCIS1998

Same here!

[themaster8902]

I think its great when she gets hit to the ground and the 2 vampires and the demon come dancing into view. So funny.

[insanelikedru]

"How can i repay?"

"whatever" - best line in whole song. dude got rejected ha.

[pokemonmasterty42]

@insanelikedru its so funny

[JRRTolkienLOTR]

@insanelikedru Of course it's Buffy; if you're not undead you don't got a shot at her!

[roma813]

Ten years ago today, "Once More with Feeling" aired.

Happy anniversary to the best episode of anything ever.

[nodinitiative]

@roma813 my God, have we buffy fans really grown that old?

[Shadowman4710]

@nodinitiative Sadly, yes :)

[nodinitiative]

@Shadowman4710 yup, at least our generation the 90's generation (most of us were teens back then right?) can say to the current generation, yeah, Shows like supernatural and the walking dead maybe good but we will always have Buffy and Angel :)

[Shadowman4710]

@nodinitiative Sadly for me, I was much older than in my teens when I first started watching BTVS in 99 (I came in at the end of season three because I hated the movie so much). You can certainly see the influence of BTVS in shows like "Supernatural" and "Grimm" nowadays. "The Walking Dead" is a little bit different but yes, thank Joss for the dvds-as well as my "Farscape" dvds-a show that ran about the same time as BTVS and Angel and even referenced them occasionally.

[kastiyana]

@nodinitiative last mont i was talking to my students about how amazing was this show and of them said that i was too old ¬¬

[TheBuffylol]

@nodinitiative IM ONLY 16!!!! :D :D AND I LUUV THE SHOW!!

[nodinitiative]

@TheBuffylol ah, to be young and stupid again, don't worry kid, ten years ago i was your age and it was awesome. Don't do things for the sake of doing it and experience, there are a lot of things i regretted in these ten years.

But Buffy the Vampire Series is not one of them :)

[TheBuffylol]

@nodinitiative alrighty then :D GOOOOOOOOOO BUUFFY!!

[Plottoberry]

@roma813 Ten years? Is it already so long ago?

I was so much in love with the series, the musical episode is one of the best things a tv show has ever done for me. <3

[gJonii]

@roma813 "Happy anniversary to the best episode of anything ever."

^--- This

[CynicalChemistry]

Is it wrong that I have this on my Ipod? XD

[lisilein2]

@CynicalChemistry nope :-)

[FantasticalWonder]

@CynicalChemistry Psh, no. XDDD I've got the whole soundtrack on my ipod. XDDDD

[Duffyesful]

You guys realize the video is backwards right?

[baalisgod666]

@Duffyesful NO. idiot

[OverwelmingLove]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa just stop...

[spiffilyiffy]

1:05 Stage direction: hot ignored guy slinks dejectedly and discretely offscreen...

[baalisgod666]

3 corporate criminals disliked it due to it's freeness. 

[dogangel626]

AHHHHH! 3 People have known happiness! quick lets make them watch btvs!!!

[angelface69ful]

i really like this song

[PinkSparkle1996]

I miss btvs so freaking much:,(

[grrrr17]

@PinkSparkle1996

Same here. I'm downloading Angel season 1, hoping that it fills the nostalgic hole in my heart I have for this weird, funny, scary, sad universe I grew up watching.

[PinkSparkle1996]

@grrrr17 Downloading Angel will help a bit(;

[viridismonasteriense]

@grrrr17 'Angel' is an awesome show, in some ways better than 'Buffy'. Bufffy is about growing up, while Angel is about morality, fighting the good fight, good demons and bad humans blurring the line between right and wrong, personified in Angel himself: the vampire fighting vampires, the most notorious mass-murderer fighting on the side of good and all the bad guys want is to see him fall of the wagon again. Joss Whedon is a genius and he's really hilarious too. Can't wait for 'The Avengers'.

[viridismonasteriense]

@Period0fAltering seriously dude what the fuck are you talking about; I have no need of a stalker

[RmsThakoer]

Anyone else can't stop watching the Dancing Demons part? xD

[TheChristmasChicken]

Love this musical episode... maybe shes going through menopause :D

[thelonelyslayer]

@TheChristmasChicken How can she be going through menopause at 20? That makes no sense.

[thelonelyslayer]

There have been a lot of (failed) attempts at creating a tv musical episode, but BUffy was by far the BEST to ever grace the small screen. It wasn't random or pointless. It had meaning, gave incite to the characters, and progressed the storyline. Perfect.

[RmsThakoer]

@thelonelyslayer Are you surprised? Every episode took 2 weeks to produce, The first week only to write the script. This episode took months.

[thelonelyslayer]

@RmsThakoer I was actually. That was one of the things i loved about Buffy. It always kept me guessing and coming back for more. I remember seeing the original commercials for the musical back on UPN and rolling my eyes. I hadn't seen a tv musical up to that point that was actually satisfying. But, like always, Buffy surprised me.

[UsernameHasExpired]

Is it just me, or is the video mirrored? I just watched this episode, I have the whole series and the one I watched, everything was on the opposite side.

[rthompson39]

@UsernameHasExpired Clips from shows are usually mirrored to avoid copyright issues.

[gneissisnice100]

@JetLagVSKenji I thought he looked like someone, but I couldn't pinpoint it. You're exactly right, it looks like him.

[JinxSharpieMarkers]

I love the dancing vampires, lol.

[briangothic1970]

2 are just going thru the motions...

[zlakerbeetch]

omg freaking hillarious... the whatever part got me rolling XDDD

[HeatherH00]

I love buffy the vampire slayer. watched every single episode that has ever existed

[Lava91point0]

She's not even half the girl she...OWW!! 

[JetLagVSKenji]

Is it just me or does that vamp who say's 'she aint got that swing' look like Ben Stiller?

[EiffelKisses]

lol this is fuuny

[Sindizwe]

The dancing demons just makes me laugh every single time

[liviacupcake07]

the reawakening of Buffy!

[TheDennyDS]

Faith?!?!?

[ShutinSmith]

watched the episode last night and about 5 mins in i went downstairs turned the wireless on, went back up stairs and ordered the soundtrack, then went back down turned off the wireless, came back up finished the episode then went to be humming the songs to myself

[001Asshole]

SMG is so cool I love her acting so much and she can even sang. These are all the reasons she is my role modle.

[kak10053]

"How can I repay...."

"Whatever"

that makes me laugh every time

[kittencutie109]

when she stabbed the vamp in the beging that wasnt the heart so why did he turn to dust

[313757chloe]

@kittencutie109 wow didnt notice that until now

[TheMsMorra]

@313757chloe

The video is flipped horizontally to avoid copy right issues.

[UnlimitedBick]

@kittencutie109 That actually happens A LOT. Even though Angel took the arrow just beside his heart, apparently the center of the chest works.

[starfire35fan]

@UnlimitedBick The back works too

[UnlimitedBick]

You thought I wouldn't notice the pitch change... I noticed it.

[RainboMango]

@UnlimitedBick What do you mean, like who/what are you talking about

[UnlimitedBick]

@RainboMango This is a higher pitch then the real song, I could go watch the episode on DVD right now.

[RainboMango]

@UnlimitedBick Oh, I see what you're talking about now. I didn't understand your intentions before.

[tex1470]

hoping no one know ive been going through the Motions



[angelrosel21]

THIS MY FAVRITE EPISODE

[44444w]

I could go into the living room and watch the actual episode but I did that yesterday :D

[em1lyz2]

i loved this episode

[34blackstars]

I think every Buffy episode should be like this and there was one talking episode!

[TheAngelofCaffeine]

Buffy really can't sing, but in a sort of... endearing way. 

[kitt648]

i think she should be the next Disney princess voice.... she reminds me of that!

[KatieVaira159]

this is the best episode of the season, in my opinioin. and i love this song, but i prefer under your spell, walk through the fire, rest in peace, and give me something to siong about.

[natetvisa]

@KatieVaira159 same here

[NATHALIEVALERY]

Oh sarah michelle gellar you are the best actress of the world !!!

[edwindudegot]

@NATHALIEVALERY hells ya she is

[symbolt]

this song is just GENIUS

[CheeseIsFood4TheSoul]

"how can i repayyy-"

"whatever"

LOL xD

[YokaiPrincess]

I like the demon dancers right before she stabs the demon.

[orandulum]

00:20 ummmm since when is the heart on the left side of your chest?

[YokaiPrincess]

@orandulum The video is backwards.

[natetvisa]

@orandulum this video is mirrorized, not backwards, backwards means reversed

[HolaSoyMilk]

I like how the "OW" comes about ten seconds AFTER she stabs him.

[Wilara4Ever]

''Nothing seems to penetrate my *penetrate vampires heart* heart!''

[monny287]

@Wilara4Ever

Wow....I feel really dumb for not noticing that until you pointed it out! XD

[swaggerofthedagger]

I was reading a book and they used the phrase "going through the motions" and I immediately had to stop reading and look this up. :)

[Amy4Payge4eva]

I LOVE THIS SONG WELL ALL REALLY!!!!!!!!1

:L)

i know all the words in this song and all of this song cu there FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3

[TheKillerpony123]

"How can I repay you?" "Whatever" *Walks away* HAHA

[puck462]

is it bad if you know all the words to the songs in that episode?

[CosmoandTails]

@puck462 dont worry ur not the only one :)

[LostSoulWithoutHeart]

@CosmoandTails ikr, im just going through all the songs on youtube singing along to them :)

[MomandDave]

fo0ss9su9upot[[lf[coosp

[Lrtapdancer]

@deilenarr You're probably right, it's just always bothered me.

[Lrtapdancer]

Does anyone else find it strange that she says "I just wanna be alive," when this whole thing is about how she'd rather be dead?

[elenore88]

@Lrtapdancer I think it means she just wants to feel alive again.

[TheDevonnMarieShow]

@Lrtapdancer maybe by being litteray dead, it is where she is 'alive'

[sunman38]

When ,I see this, it cracks,me up each time,,seeing three demons dancing,

it the graveyard LOL

[Trishygd]

i love her her voice is awesome 

[thelonelyslayer]

Did anybody see the recent Grey's Anatamoy musical?

....makes you appreciate Buffy a hell of a lot more. haha.

[TheJesterGirl]

@thelonelyslayer Yeah, I thought about this episode the whole way through it today XD

[thelonelyslayer]

@TheJesterGirl i'm sorry but that grey's musical was horrible. but Buffy gets it done.

[TheJesterGirl]

@thelonelyslayer Haha yes I know. I hated that episode. Once More With Feeling is on the other hand my favourite Buffy episode.

[thelonelyslayer]

@TheJesterGirl I'm not a fan of "grey's" to begin with, but my sister watches it and so i caught that ep with her. I felt like it was totally out of element for the show and completely detracted from the storyline. Whereas Buffy's musical fit smoothly into the storyline and even helped propel the story along while at the same time digging into the issues of the characters.

[789melissa]

lol, i luv the end where she burst through vamp dust!

[AidenSkittles]

Thumbs up if the musical was the best episode in the entire series!

[Twihardfan32]

@AidenSkittles totally true



[Twihardfan32]

@AidenSkittles totally true

[Joeymabes101]

she does got that swing

-punches her to the ground and silence-

Thanks for noticing

[littlemissdelaney]

"Nothing can penetrate my.. heart!" Haha vampire slayer puns!

[sweetiepie1610]

[littlegirl95]

[mrstiamania]

[eijanyx]

i miss buffy. so very much.

[erkoekrf]

@eijanyx same here. I used to look forward to Tuesday nights with much anticipation!

[Kagereneko]

How can Buffy while killing a vampire without get her mouth filled with dust??

[flinpify]

@Kagereneko she was exhaling, not inhaling

[Darapsa]

@Kagereneko

Musical. Musicals do not need reality or logic.

[08jcanton]

that man was totally hot

[bunnyboocutiepie100]

i love this song i know the whole thing all the songs from the epsode. she got that swing lol

[Harusha12]

"how can i repay--"
