Buffyverse stuff in non-Buffyverse places

[Clem Rocks]

I thought it would be a good idea to make a topic to find out where you have found Buffyverse stuff outside of the Buffyverse and what stuff reminds you of Buffy. I'll start off with some examples

One thing i hate about the PS2/GC/Wii/PC game Resident Evil 4, is the fact that from behind, the main character looks like Riley D=

In the song, Delirious Love by Neil Diamond, the way Neil pronounces the word "Delirious" always sounds to me like he's saying "Illyria's"


Also, what non-Buffyverse places have you put Buffyverse characters?


I don't know if any of you have heard of Gaia Online, but it's a site with customisable avatars, anyway, the avy of one of my mule accounts, "Champion of the Powers", is a Buffyverse cosplay

On the PS2/Xbox 360 game WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007, i have used the Create a Wrestler mode to create Buffy, Faith, Spike and Angel (I would post pics, but i don't have any)


So yeah, your turn people

[LittleMissLikesToFight]

Oh, well as for character creating, ive downloaded sims for The Sims 2 of characters (because im bad at making them lol). I havent attempted to make Miis of them on my Wii yet.

I never put Leon and Riley together.... I mean, Leon has been around since RE2 (im a big fan of the series) and they are pretty different characters overall. Leon is a lot more of a smaller build too.

It's mainly the haircut from behind that makes me think of Riley >_<

[white avenger]

I'm not sure if this is what you're wanting, but in "Man Of The House," one of the cheerleaders makes the statement, "We were about to go all Buffy on their asses!"

[Clem Rocks]

Sure that one will do


Just been looking on a CaW site for WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 and found CaWs for Xander (http://caws.ws/svr2008/thumber.php?img=xander_harris788&dir=pics&w=300&h=350) and Faith (http://caws.ws/svr2008/thumber.php?img=eliza_dushku439&dir=pics&w=300&h=350)

[VisionGuy]

In the movie "Johnson Family Vacation" Solange Knowle's character is watching the Buffy Finale 'Chosen' at the motel. Also in the movie "Are We There Yet" Ice Cube mentions to some kids that they don't carry Buffy stuff in his store.

[Cangel]

In one Charmed episode ('Two Sisters and a Ghost'? dunno, that's the literal translation of the German title) Phoebe and Prue are walking over a cemetery at night and Phoebe says 'Where's Buffy when you need her?'.
That line always makes me smile

[white avenger]

In Kelly Armstrong's book "Stolen" (sequel to "Bitten"), the main character, a female werewolf, mentions the series "Buffy," on several occasions, says that she is a fan of the "original series," which I take to mean that she isn't a fan of "Angel," and asks a vampire why he couldn't live on animal blood instead of the human variety.

[Keanoite]

In Bring It On, a cheerleader from a rival school says that she wants to 'Beat these Buffy's down' to (Eliza Dusku's character incidently).
Also in Friends Pheobe's sister Urusula makes a porn movie entitled 'Buffet the Vampire Layer'

[Joyce Summers]

In the Gilmore Girls when Paris is dressed trashily for a night time man hunt Rory asks:
"It's 11:00 at night. Who are you hoping to hook up with now -- Spike and Drusilla?"
I loved that

[TabulaRasa]

I agree with the res evil 4 character reminding us of Riley. I thought that when I saw the cover before I bought it. Played it for 10 min and got frustrated. I kept dieing.

Also, the movie 'She's The Man," the school she goes to is called Illyria.

[Tranquillity]

in Supernatural - two amature ghost hunters (who are getting in Sam and dean's way), when deciding what they will do say "W.W.B.D - What would Buffy do?"

[disco biscuit]

Did anyone notice that around half of the cast of Heroes have been on Buffy? To name a few, Maya, Audrey, Monica, and Bob (Heroes nerds like me will know who I'm talking about!) were all in it at least once.
Also, Henry from Ugly Betty was in an episode. And if you were wondering, yeah, I always freak out when I re-watch episodes and see people I recognize show up... xD

[InsaneMystic]

There was an Episode of Xena (I guess the English title was "The Play's the Thing", but don't nail me down on that) in which a stageplay called "Buffus the Bacchae Slayer" got mentioned.

[Cangel]

Anyone knows the Russian film 'Night Watch'? In the U.S. version there's the episode 'Buffy vs. Dracula' playing on some TV at one point of the movie.

[palabravampiress]

A lot of the Buffyverse actors do voice work on the side. My husband likes cartoons, so I'll sometimes recognize folks' voices. About a month ago, I heard Adam Baldwin and James Marsters in a Superman cartoon. Baldwin played Superman and Marsters played Lex Luthor. Today, my hubby was watching a Justive League cartoon and I heard David Boreanaz. He played Hal Jordan, who was eventually turned into the Green Lantern. I'm actually freakishly good at recognizing voices. At the end, I always check the credits -- and I'm almost always right.

[VisionGuy]

David Boreanaz does the voice for Leon in Kingdom Hearts. I remember I heard the voice and I was like, "That's Angel!" Too bad he didn't return for the sequel.

[Keanoite]

Part of my job is to place student teachers in schools for their teaching practice placements, so basically I have to ring most of the schools in the country trying to get students placed. The other day I had to ring a school called Caritas!! I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was grinning like an eejit. Fairly sure the rest of the office found it off putting. Oh well!!!:D

[littlewilly]

Alot of the places and scenes(initiative, ally ways, buildings) reminded me of Resident Evil.

[Cangel]

I was watching the Simpsons today, the episode "Catch 'em if you can" and pretty much at the beginning Moe went into the adult section of a video store. And there was a category called "Spike & Ange Lee" or something like that. Lol, that made my day.

[Aethra]

In some episode of Psych, the main character (can you tell I rarely watch the show? haha) says something to the effect of "I tried the whole Dingoes Ate My Baby thing; it didn't work."

[Evilyn]

In Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter novels, there are quite a few Buffy references. She's said before that she was a huge fan of the show, so I'm assuming that she gives it a nod here and there. Also, when I went to JemCon last year, Christy Marx, who was the head writer for Jem (and she also wrote for He-Man, Transformers, GI Joe and numerous video games) mentioned Spike in her Q&A session. It just put a big smile on my face that someone, who I see as an icon, also loves Buffy and the characters from the show!

Oh, and I believe it was 3 or 4 years ago, we did Halloween in downtown Nashville. We went to this club where they had Goth night on Sundays and Halloween was on Sunday. Anyway, as I got off the elevator to go to the second floor, these two people who were dressed as Buffy and Spike were making out in the hallway. Just thought that was kinda cool, not that I'm a perv or anything, cuz I'm so not.

[Blondie Bear]

In Tanya Huff's novel Long Hot Summoning (the third in the Keeper series), one of the characters brings a mall elf up to speed on what's happening on Buffy.

[Hello Cutie]

One of the Mayor's of the place I go university at was called Mayor Wilkins!!!
I found that out the other day, cuz there's a plaque on the wall of what I think used to be part of the original wall built around the town, which is next to the entrance of the Military Museum that my boyfriend made me go to with him!!!

[Tranquillity]

The other night on the Simpsons they went to an all-you-can-eat place called Buffet the Hunger Slayer.
also, going back a few years, on Friends Phoebe's twin sister makes a porn film called "Bouffet the Vampire Layer"

[white avenger]

I recently bought the two seasons of "Dark Angel," and I have noticed a LOT of parallels between that show and "Buffy," especially in the 2nd. season. I can't picture someone of John Cameron's skill and reputation allowing anything with his name on it to hack off of another show, any more than I can Joss, but it's almost as if the two of them would sit together over drinks somewhere and work out plots together. (For those of you who never have seen the show, the similarities between Max and Buffy, Alec and Spike, and Angel and Joshua are uncanny. Max's best friend and roommate is even gay, and there are life threatening consequences if she and her boyfriend "get busy," as Joshua puts it. There's even something in Max's DNA that makes her the "one girl in all the world.")

[The Kinslayer]

There's even something in Max's DNA that makes her the "one girl in all the world.")
Special, yes. Extra ordinay, yes. But hardly one of a kind. Or have I missed/forgot something? The other comparisons made me wanna watch the show again. And that else to do the whole summer if not watch tv?

[white avenger]

Several times on the show Max is described as having DNA unlike any other, both by the government agents trying to capture/kill her, and by the CDC doctor who examined her, and she is unique in other ways, but to go into them here would constitute spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the show yet.

I know David Boreanaz did the voice of one of the characters in the first Kingdom Hearts game and James Marsters was in a couple of episodes of Smallville and TorchWood

[SC7 Fan]

also David Boreanaz was in the Dido music video White Flag.

[Rebecca]

I just read "Twilight Children" by Torey Hayden and one of the children she writes about has hallucinations focused on demons, vampires, ghosts etc. and she refers to her as being "trapped in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer" hehe. Made me smile.

EDIT: Ooh, talking of music videos. Eliza Dushku was in the music videos for "Rockstar" - Nickelback and "I'm Just a Kid" - Simple Plan. Pretty cool.

[Bluebird]

I love the Buffy references in Spaced. When Tim compares the character of Twist to Cordelia.

Tim: She's shallow Brian, ya know? Like Cordelia out of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and after that Angel, the spin-off series, which is set in L.A.
Brian: I don't know what you're talking about.
Tim: Brian, you're such a square!

[Rebecca]

shadowcay agrees: i never noticed Eliza was in that video

Rockstar? She's looking rather seductive and shaking her hair by a pool in a couple of shots haha. And I'm Just A Kid she's pretty obvious cause she's in it throughout.

I came across something else to do with buffy the other day. I was on one of my favourite authors, Dorothy Koomsons website and was looking at her "All About Me" and her most rewatched DVD was Buffy! I love seeing little things like that, it makes me feel a wee bit better about my obsession hehe.

[Tranquillity]

Seth Green and Michelle Trachtenberg are in Fallout Boy's video for 'This ain't a scene'

[LorneyTunes]

Its everywhere , i see buffy and angel characters in nearly every show i watch epsecially csi only minor characters tho xxx

I read laurell K hamilton books"Anita Blake" and they remind me of Buffy Kinda xxx

[InsaneMystic]

I can't believe I didn't remember this earlier, it's about the best in-joke ever:

In the PC game "Sacred", when you enter a certain merchant's shop, you get attacked by bunnies (they're doing ridiculously little damage and are ridiculously easy to kill, but there's like two dozen of them all over you at once). When you kill all of them, a woman comes out of hiding, introduces herself as "Anya the Shopkeeper" and thanks you for "stopping the little critters from overrunning my place. I hate them!"

[SC7 Fan]

Danny Strong (Jonathon) and Julie Benz were in the movie Shriek! if you know what I did last Friday 13th.

[Cangel]

Yesterday I was playing this quizgame, Buzz (it's German I think), with my roomies and there was this question:
'What are Buffy Summers' archnemesises' (crappy translation, sorry)
and I got sooooooo excited over that. Really, everyone was giving me crazy looks lol.

[chiigusa]

If anyone watches The Office, during the 3rd season, when Jim was working at the other branch, they were all playing Counterstrike. Karen, Jim's love interest for part of Season 3 kept killing him off and if you look carefully at her computer screen, her name is "Karen the Jim Slayer". That tickled me so much.

[Cangel]

I don't know if it counts, but yesterday when we were clubbing, there was this guy talking to us who looked exactly like Riley!

[Fake Shemp]

last night the first song i heard on the radio was 'behind blue eyes' right after i just switched off watching buffy..... does that count?

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

i was watching these buffy music videos, and strangely enough, they all seemed to be filled with clips from btvs! thats legit, yeah? ;)

[SC7 Fan]

In science the other day we had a general knowledge quiz and one of the questions was: In the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy is played by Sarah who? I put down Sarah Michelle Gellar which we all know is the correct answer and the person who marked it said it was wrong. They said that it would be Sarah Sarah Michelle Gellar if my answer was right. I got really angry then and said that I used part of the question in my answer which I did. But they kept saying it was wrong and I was really close to punching the guy in the face. I didn't though cause I knew I would get in trouble if I did.

[Cangel]

Okay I dont know how nerdy this makes me, but yesterday I was watching Sex and the City with my roommates and I reckognized that the shirt Carrie is wearing in one scene in the s3 episode 'All or Nothing' is the shirt Buffy wears in 'No Place Like Home'. It looked better on Buffy :p

[Starlet]

On Sunday band Łzy was playing on our town. And they had a song called: "Anka"( it's a form of name Anna, we say also Ania )

And the words of the song are like this:

I'm crying today the world is laughing: Ania what's wrong with you?
My heart is bleeding, my boyfriend hasn't come
I'm standing alone in white dress at the altar.

I was thinking of Anya when they were playing this song.

oh! that reminds me that on FRIENDS, phoebe (http://www.friendscafe.org/gallery/data/1588/medium/friends-s6ep8caps019.jpg) wore the same shirt as willow (http://www.screencap-paradise.com/caps/displayimage.php?pid=34505&fullsize=1) did in 'wild at heart'.

[SC7 Fan]

Just came back from holiday and found these references;

On Mcfly's new album Radio:Active, one of the songs is called Going Through The Motions.
At a Horse sanctuary I visited, Quentin, Finn and Jesse were the names of 3 horses.
In a leaflet for animal rehoming centres 2 of the cats were called Harmony and Willow.
In Great Yarmouth there is a train that runs along the sea front and one of the stations is called Landau Station.

[Clem Rocks]

Really? I've been to Yarmouth loads of times and never seen that, unless it's new, i haven't been since like 2005...

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

im not positive about this one, because i cant find any clips or anything anywhere to check, or any info to confirm it, but i saw a first look at this show called samurai girl, and i could swear the music playing over the logo was rob duncan's score for the final fight, or something almost identical to it!

EDIT:

well, i did find someone else that agrees with me on this roswell board (http://www.roswellfanatics.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9475&start=210) via google:

You know what is really strange about the preview of Samurai Girl? The classical music in the background after Brenden says "You are like 10 different kinds of stupid" is composed by Rob Duncan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it was used in the finale of the show.

Arianne

[~angelic slayer~]

I can't remember which show it was, but one of the characters came on screen with an outfit almost identical to Buffy's in "Graduation Day".

Anthony Stewart Head had a brief appearance in "Sweeney Todd" that I didn't know about, so that shocked me to no end.

In the movie "Can't Hardly Wait" I just kept seeing actors from the Buffyverse, same with "Bring it On"-- another big shocker!

And in the SAW 4 movie, in one of the first scenes they had a set that looked incredibly alike to some of the levels in "Buffy: Chaos Bleeds"...

[Clem Rocks]

Here's one for you, i was watching Coupling last night, and one of the main characters went a date with a guy who owned a book shop that sold sci-fi, occult and horror books. The name of the shop? Hellmouths

[lemst6]

I was just watching that new show "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and I think it was the Preacher who said that the one girl was their very own Buffy.

[horrorshock666]

Well i went to Blackpool for a short break a few week ago and there was one of those Mystics in a little hut thing. She was called Mystic Peg (which i thought was funny but her name is Peggy apparently)... anyway there was a board hanging on one of the walls and it was almost a direct rip off of the 'As long as there have been vampires, there has been the slayer'. I can't remember exactly but it was something like 'As long has there has been life, there has been the Mystics. They are there to seek out and foretell the future, I am but one'.

Im not sure if that is relevant here but i found it quite funny.

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

i saw a trailer for a soap, i think it might have been 'one life to live', and they played nikki costa's 'everybody's got their something', from the radio sunnydale cd, during the trailer. if i can find the vid on youtube, ill post it.

[SC7 Fan]

Marti Noxon is an executive producer of Private Practice. I only know this because my mum watches it and I saw Marti's name come up as one of the executive producers.

In the film White Chicks, Marcus and his partner, are argueing over their dates and Marcus comes out with: "That doesn't mean I gotta go out with Buffy the white girl slayer!"

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

in the commercial for 'the middle man', and presumably the show (hehe), the main girl says something like "time to get my buffy on" as they fight vampire puppets :p. in trying to find the exact quote, i did come across this article (http://www.giantrealm.com/film-tv/review-the-middleman), which elaborates on a teensy bit of a buffy-like connection :).

Lol, this reminded me of something completely unrelated, but I found it funny anyway. One time, my dad was in a pub and they had scheduled a psychic to come in and do readings, and they had a big sign advertising it on the wall. The psychic phoned up to say that they had to cancel, and since my dad knew the owner of the pub he was asked to put a notice up on the sign to let people know. What did he write? "Psychic Readings Canceled Due To Unforseen Circumstances"!

[Cangel]

In the Sex and the City episode 'Sex and the Country', Big (Carries on and off boyfriend) is dating a movie star called Willow Summers. That gave me quite a laugh.

[white avenger]

Reading a book published in 1960, "The Earth Giant," by Edison Marshall, I came across this line:

"Night deepened in those moments...(nothing) could stop the moon from shining...her EFFULGENCE grew...and brought out sharply all of the features of the nearby landscape."

That's the first time I've ever heard that word used outside of "Buffy" or "Angel."

[hazzard]

i've made spike, angel, buffy, dawn, willow, tara, giles, and faith in the sims 2

[MSchett]

I found this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHplhU488I4) on youtube a MadTV parody of Buffy with Trachtenburg in it

[ItMustBeBunnies]

In Will & Grace they mention Buffy a few times. Grace is reading a magazine and the pages are stuck together so she thinks SMG was in a prisoner of war camp, Will yells at her and says "You thought Buffy was in a prisoner of war camp!", another is when Jack is hitting on some guy and when he says that he works in tv, jack replies "Oh my god I love tv, Buffy is my life! Im so into Willow being a lesbian right now! did you have anything to do with that?". I also have a vague memory of an episode of Daria when her sister says something like "Now we can be home in time for Buffy!."

[~angelic slayer~]

Funny thing happened today, really had to post it here :D


So at my place of education we have a thing called "co-op", which is basically students getting hired by local businesses to work-- only rather than getting paid in cash, you can earn credits towards your diploma. It's pretty snazzy, but requires two weeks of safety training and job interview training and stuff, which I'm almost done now.

ANYWAY, today we were looking at interview skills and my instructor pulled out a cheesey instructional video from the 80s or 90s about interview skills. And the VERY FIRST character that pops up is a 17 year old girl named Marcy, played by none other than Clare Kramer!!! As in Glory!!! I couldn't believe it, first thing in the morning in a co-op class in "the middle of nowhere" town, Canada and here she is! All I could think through the entire video was "GLORY IS BEN-- BEN IS GLORY-- GLORY IS LEARNING ABOUT JOB INTERVIEW SKILLS!!!!" *laughs* I was so floored, all morning I was thinking "I have to tell the BBers, they'll never believe it!".

Anyway, that's my story. I can't find any caps of the video as of yet, but if I find any I'll be sure to put one up. I thought it was pretty neat, anyway :)



PS: And as a sidenote, I was looking for a screencap and found a new promo shot of Clare K. I almost didn't recognize her at first!

Nerdy guy: is that guy your angel?

i met a person named Anya Jenkins today!!!!! I asked if her middle name happened to be Christina Emmanuella... sadly it was just Marie

[InsaneMystic]

I just found ANOTHER Buffy in-joke in the same PC game (Sacred) I mentioned above!

There are lots of tombstones in that game, most of them with stupid puns or scifi injokes on them. And one of them bears the epitaph "B.A.S. - she saved the world a lot".

So that's why the Scoobies could keep Buffy's death over the S5/6 summer secret. They buried her far, far out of the way - on the Pirate Isles of Ancaria! :lmao:

[horrorshock666]

This may sound a bit crap compared to all the others on here, but i was watching The Grudge again on ITV2 yesterday and right at the end when SMG is dressed in the long gown thing (You know... The ones they where in hospitals and stuff), it looks pretty much exactly like the same one she wore in the episode where she is in the Menatl Institute... (sorry... memory fails me on the name of the episode).

I thought was pretty much Buffy in a non-Buffy place... Obv it had SMG in it which made it kind of easy to link with Buffy, but either way all i could think about was that episode.

xoxox

Edit:

Oh, and theres a band called HIM, which stand for His Infernal Majesty... But it pretty much always reminds me of the Buffy episode with the same name.

[SC7 Fan]

In my Media Studies class today we were looking through a book, can't remember the name though, and it was telling us about different font types for different genres and on the horror section it had an advert for Buffy DVD's and videos as one of the examples.

Oh, and I was watching Cool Money earlier and James Marsters was playing the main character. Don't ask me what happens in it though, I was too busy watching James. ;)
