I know I enjoyed it's scenes. Funny stuff. As with so many things, it's something only Joss and his crew could've pulled off.

I love her (it? er... I'll just call it ((her?)) her)! She's funny and I think SMG pulled Buffybot off well. I liked her appearances in Bargaining parts 1 & 2 better, since she wasn't onto Spike anymore, and she was much funnier and had a bigger part, because I hated Buffybot around Spike. That was just sick. And she was much funnier and had a bigger part in s6. But anyway, yeah, I really liked her.

C'mon, there isn't a straight male or gay female Buffy fan in the world that wouldn't want a Buffybot all of their very own.

Go on. Just admit it! ;)

yea the Buffybot was well cool and was really funny.i liked her more in seson 6 as it got a bigger part and you got to see more of her character.
i found it really funny when Xander was telling the others that she was boinking Spike, that was so funny.

I liked her much better than regular Buffy. I really dislike Buffy. Annoying, whiny and miserable (dont get me wrong, I understand why, I just dont like her) but Buffybot was the complete opposite. Everything Buffy wasnt. Cute, happy, funny, and totally in love with Spike. Whats not to like?

Spuffiness
11-23-2006, 06:48 AM
I really liked the BuffyBot, and BuffyBot and Spike together. And yeah, she was nicer than the real Buffy. And she loved Spike so I loved her... it.

And another thing. I wouldn't say no to a SpikeBot of my own :teeth:

i would admit to that.. I mean who wouldnt want a BuffyBot to themselves and as Dzhugashvili said "I would, you know. She's warm, right?" well no actually Dzh.... shes hot! :lick:

I wouldn't want a Buffybot. If I was going to have a bot, I'd have a Faithbot. But even then...? Um the idea of having sex with a machine is extremely disturbing to me.

Anyway, I loved the Buffybot. I felt incredibly bad for her when she "died" in season six. Even though she was a machine.

Buffy bot was all that and a side of fries! Probably one of the most humorous inventions joss put in the show i reckon. I would have loved a whole season 6 with just Buffy bot. I was so upset when she got ripped apart.

I thought the Buffybot was hilarious!! How did the scoobies not know that wasn't Buffy??! They didn't know until two Buffy's were standing there! I know I would have noticed, lol.

BuffyBot totally rocked! If it (she?) hadn't "died" then Buffybot should have totally had her own spin off!! I like it when she was doing the knock knock joke.

Monty
01-22-2007, 07:41 AM
I LOVE the bot... Not as much as Spike does, though... :-) She's so positive and funny... ''Vampires of the world, beware.''

Ah, everyone, post you're favourite Buffybot quote/Scene!

Mine has to be from Bargaining Part 1:

WILLOW: And I will therefore fix it. I got her head back on, didn't I? And I got her off those knock-knock jokes.
BUFFYBOT: Ooh, who's there?
XANDER: You know, if we want her to be exactly-
SPIKE: She'll never be exactly.
XANDER: I know.
TARA: The only really real Buffy is really Buffy.
GILES: And she's gone.
BUFFYBOT: 'If we want her to be exactly she'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone' who?

Buffybot just says that bit so amazingly! And she looks cute! Kudos to SMG for playing Buffybot so well!

Randy Giles

There are too many good Buffybot quotes for me to remember one favorite, lol. But I agree with Monty...her extreme positive attitude and cheeriness is hilarious and charming.

Let´s summon Warren and place an order...heh
Buffybot was a cute twist. It was an innocent way to show all this passionate kisses and half-naked Spike with quasi Buffy, letting a real buffy ask questions like: who -is-watting-what-where?

definition of insane
05-30-2007, 04:36 PM
I loved the Buffybot! Especially in Intervention.

"Angel's lame. His hair sticks straight up and he's bloody stupid."

I loved that line! Not that I don't like Angel...but surely this would have given it away...Buffy just sounds wrong saying bloody stupid.

Also the whole "You're recently gay" line cracks me up. :lmao:

So in conclusion...Buffybot, yay!

I loved Buffy bot. I especially loved when she keep saying to Willow " You're recently gay. " The way Sarah delievered that line keep cracking me up. :) Very funny!

Buffybot was hilarious! And when she first arrived and was actaully meeting the gang for the first time, she killed me! (The scene when Willow is talking to her thinking it's the real Buffy and then it goes into what Buffybot is seeing when she looks at people. I don't remember the episode, though, but it was very funny!)

I was also very impressed with SMG's acting when she was the robot. She was so happy (like a creepy happy!).

And I really thought the B-bot came in handy in season 5 and in other Buffy related things (i.e. the comics).

She was very funny and I almost cried when she died in season 6. :(

When I heard about the concept of the Buffybot before watching the series, I thought it was cheesy, lame and stupid.

When I actually saw the episodes, though, I changed my mind completely. The Buffybot is awesome! :D SMG really does a brilliant job playing it, and I imagine it was a lot of fun to play the 'bot.

The Buffybot was also a terrific idea on another level. By the point in Season 5 when she is introdced, every single character is depressed about one thing or another. The Buffybot completely lifted the mood. It was so wierd to see SMG grieving and barley coping in one scene, and then acting insanely happy in the next. It really hilighted how Buffy was feeling. Plus, it allowed for "Hello Anya, how is your money?"!

ILLYRIAN
09-03-2007, 06:48 AM
Yeh, the Buffybot was good, I never got the chance to like it more 'cos somebody [Spike] kept it for himself, for playing draughts of course !

09-05-2007, 10:27 AM
i felt sorry for the bot when she airquotes died but she just wasn't buffy same as a spike-bot wouldn't be spike it's the flaughs in us that make us human (yes i know spike's not human he's a vamp but you know what i mean)

LittleMissLikesToFight
10-07-2007, 02:44 PM
i can imagine SMG must've had a great time playing buffybot. esp since it was so opposite of the buffy then. it mustve been a relief to be so.. perky once in a while!

DarklyDreamingDrusilla
10-07-2007, 05:27 PM
I would have to say that I liked Buffybot because she was hilarious but at the same time when she was into Spike it was extremely creepy.:lmao:

The Buffy Bot makes me laugh. I heart her. She cracked me up.

The BuffyBot also made me fall in writer love with Spike. Don't get me wrong; I was absolutely disgusted by the fact that he ordered a man-made Stepford Buffy toy and then had sex with it -- publicly. Eww. Just eww. But in the same episode in which the public BuffyBot sex is discovered, he endures torture for the real Buffy and her sister. Both actions were completely in character. One was repulsive and selfish. The other was selfless and full of love. My jaw dropped. I looked at my best friend and said something along the lines of, "What an amazingly complex character!"

02-07-2008, 06:18 AM
I totally loved the BuffyBot! How she'd look at everyone and a little info would come up on the screen inside her... head, was it? And when she looked at Willow, it was like - GAY! And BuffyBot was like 'You're my best friend. And you're gay. Hilarious!

I love the spike obsession. Its so funny :) I also love the start of season 6 with the knock knock jokes. And G-iles who can go past that!! People do that to me with G- emma I cant believe it!

Cangel
02-07-2008, 03:35 PM
Lol, I like when Buffybot asked Anya about how her money was?
And all the confusion when Xander saw Buffybot getting it on with Spike and thought Buffy was sleeping with Spike

celestialarrow
04-16-2008, 11:49 AM
Okay I liked the buffybot my only problem is that I watched the gift back to back with bargaining part 1 so seeing buffy back. Even though it wasn't really her kinda took the heart-wrenching effect the gift had on me.

girlunstrung
04-16-2008, 12:39 PM
I love Buffybot. I love her pronounciation of Giles. I also love her asking of Anya about the welfare of her money, and how Willow is recently gay!

palabravampiress
04-16-2008, 12:45 PM
^ Yes! The money! I wish people would act that way around me and value my taboo obsessions.

Buffybot: "Hello Palabra. How is your soap opera?"
Me: "It's great; thanks for asking!"

04-16-2008, 12:48 PM
XD That would be great. I want a Buffybot of my very own, now. :(

caitaintdead
04-16-2008, 01:06 PM
I still think one of the most telltale signs of Spikes growth as a character was when the Buffybot in Bargaining said something about Spike (I can't remember what... one of the old lines from when Buffybot was first created) and he says to Willow something along the lines of "I thought you programmed that out of her". It was such a lovely sign of his real admiration as Buffy as a real person, and it showed remorse for something he had done.

And of course when Buffy dresses as the Buffybot after Spike has just protected Dawn and kisses Spike for the first time (not under a spell). Weirdly enough something that was disrespectfully done initially was such a huge part of their progression towards their true feelings for each other.

I also have to admit that when I see the Buffybot on screen I don't see her as Sarah Michelle Gellar or Buffy, but as the Buffybot. Much respect to SMG for pulling it off.

Buffybot was absolutely awesome, sometimes I preferred her to buffy lol

05-06-2008, 05:13 PM
I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan of Buffybot.

Although, I kinda disagree with you, Caitaintdead. Imo, Spike orders Willow to program the i-love-you-spike lines out not because he now respects Buff as a person, but because it just hurts him too bad to hear that now Buffy is dead. You can tell he's having a hard time only seeing the bot that looks just like her, so when she tells him she wants him etc. it's just too much to bear.

So I was saying, Buffybot. aaaaaaaaaah... Buffybot.
"Oh! Who's there?"
And the very very long line from the very end of the teaser of Bargaining P1... "...who?" Well that's just too good.

I used to pretend I was a me-bot too, just to annoy my friends who deserved it since they were no fans of Buffy. =D
"Stop doing the robot thing!"
"I don't believe I am a robot."
... okay well I was young.

The Buffybot was excellent! The relationship between Spike and that Buffybot was hilarious, expecially when others were around. She had the same sort of clueless humor that Anya did, but Boffybot's was also naive and innocent because she didn't know that she didn't understand things, and so in a way funnier. I love the scene where Buffy pretends to be Buffybot in order to get info from Spike. Sooo cute.

I like the Buffybot too. She was very funny, as others have said.
There is an audio drama called 'Buffy between the line' and it has the Buffybot as a major character - They've given her a particular logic and made her into quite an interesting part of the story. Buffy Between the Lines (http://buffybetweenthelines.com/)

I absolutely love Buffy-bot (as a character). She was great and brilliantly played by Sarah. And even if I´m disappointed that she didn´t have more screentime I´m sure it was for the best. I think she´d be annoying after a while. Now I´m left with this feeling of wanting more.

The Buffybot is what awesome is made of. Seriously ne of the best ideas Joss could ever of had. And I agree with everyone that is was one of SMG's finest hours as an actor, to say she pulled it off brilliantly would be an understatement. Intervention is one of my top favorites eps, I mean it has it all, Buffybot, Buffybot and Spike, Spike messing with Glory's head, the very first Spuffy kiss (real kiss, not under a spell) and most importantly Giles doing the hokie pokie :lmao: ... but I digress, oh yeah freaking LOVE the Buffybot!

"I, I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body." .... "Darn your sinister attraction."

BUFFYBOT: (happily) Spike! (to Xander and Anya) It's Spike. And he's wearing a coat.

and this whole exchange is just classic:

BUFFYBOT: I had sex with Spike. (Willow winces again) I'm sorry if it bothers you. You're my best friend.
WILLOW: I-I am. And I, I always will be, no matter what you do. I, I'm just trying to figure out why this happened, and I, I think with ... your mom and everything ... everyone was being all sympathetic, and, and making you feel weak. A-and Spike wasn't like that. So, just this one time, you just ... did something kinda ... crazy.
BUFFYBOT: (shakes head) It wasn't one time. It was lots of times. And lots of different ways. I could make sketches.
WILLOW: (disgusted) No! Buffy, there is something seriously wrong here! I ... (the bot looks confused) Okay, yeah, you've been with a vampire before, but Angel had a soul.
BUFFYBOT: Angel's lame. His hair grows straight up, and he's bloody stupid.
WILLOW: (confused) Okay ... look, I just wanna help you. Let me help you.
BUFFYBOT: You're my best friend.
WILLOW: Yeah. Again, I ... really am, but...
BUFFYBOT: You're recently gay.
WILLOW: Um...

08-28-2008, 03:03 PM
I loved how the Buffybot actually showed us the "tender" and "loving" side of Spike. Showed us how Spike actually wants more than just the sex. He wants the relationship. :)

Plus Buffybot got Spike's hair all tousled :D It was sooo sexy on him

There are great quotes there... and the weirdo jokes when she fights xD

The Bot's so funny. I kind of wish she would have stayed to keep season 6 a little lighter. She does bring out what Spike really wants from Buffy, though. If she was just sex then you could say that's all he wants from Buffy. But she's programmed to be Buffy. She slays, she knows her friends, it shows that Spike wants Buffy. The Buffy bot is, obviously not Buffy, but at that point I think he was going to take was he could get.

ok i loved the buffy bot, thought it was a very funny concept and smg was so good at playing that role

i love the buffybot...i thought sarah michelle gellar did a brilliant job being the buffybot, too. just shows her range to go from real buffybot to depressed buffy to actually being the real buffy pretending to be the buffybot in that one episode in season 5 to find out if spike had betrayed them to glory. brilliant.

11-07-2008, 05:47 PM
Love Buffybot. As the show went along Buffy's character got really serious, it was great to see a funny side of smg, i think she's brilliant at comedy.
Favorite lines : Buffybot: "Spike's mine! Who's straddling Spike?" ... and "Anya! How's your money? "

BASBritt
11-07-2008, 07:10 PM
The Buffybot was funny but I was glad they kept her scenes to a minimum. It was just so weird to see "Buffy" acting and talking like that, but I admit it was a nice breath of fresh air. And some of her lines were HIL.AR.I.OUS!! The one about Angel's hair and anytime she said anything about Spike were classic. :)

Wish I had a BuffyBot... :whistle:

That being said, I thought her lines were hilarious. Especially, "Guyles".

Wishing Oceans
11-13-2008, 06:04 PM
Agreed. :) I thought the BuffyBot was fantastic! The way everything she said sounded rehearsed and deeply dramatic made all of her lines sound incredibly humorous. Really, any scene with her taking place was just awesome. I especially loved the Spike scenes, and I loved it when the real Buffy was pretending to be the bot. It was just so romantic... :kissie:

I also loved Season 6 BuffyBot. It was sort of sweet, sort of sad how Spike was rejecting her love. It was like our wittle Spikey was all grown up. Only maybe not so little. :whistle:

LifeIsJustThis

God, she's hilarious. I kinda wish she'd been around for more than one ep, though...

Very true. She was very good in "Intervention". That was the episode, right? Actually, that whole episdoe is one of my favorites....
Anyone notice how the BuffyBot is totally going down on Spike in that one scene when they cut in? Whoo-ee. Just noticed that last night. Can't believe they got that on network television...

Scandalous :)
