Utterly Amazing Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel Trivia

  1. Willow knows "Witch Fu" and is a "Computer Whisperer."

  2. David Boreanaz was hauled before the Screen Actor's Guild in 1998 under suspicion of having an unregistered screen alias because rearranging the letters in his name yields an Azerbaijanian misspelling of "VW Beetle" (David is one-eighteenth Georgian). He was acquitted when it was pointed out he drives a Golf. The irony is that a rearranging of his name does spell Golf in a never-spoken fourteenth-century dialect of Iranian (he's also seven fourty-fifths Iraqi).

  3. Seth Green isn't.

  4. Charisma Carpenter, who plays Cordelia Chase, has the same intials as her character, and as Courtney Cox.

  5. "Vampires", (once spelled "vampyres,") is not the same as "fan piles," which is how they stack the dead after an average taping of "Angel."

    Vampires don’t need Ban Roll-On.

  6. Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Sam Lee, James Marsters, Cher, Dr. Sonak Pacifi (an Indian dentist in Santa Barbara) and a clay model of an elephant hidden in my backpack have all played blood-sucking ghouls, Cher in a donut commercial.

  7. Traditionally, watchers are allergic to anchovies.

  8. Joss Whedon, creator, writer, producer, made the mistake of insisting everyone in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie was of blood type B, which was why the film was a critical flop, despite box office sales in Sri Lanka reaching nearly 2 million (Sri Lankan) dollars.

  9. Together, the cast of Angel weighs anywhere from 5 to 18 tons, depending on the number of "flashbacks" used in a given episode.

  10. As a joke, an intern with the LAPD forensics lab substituted some of Sara Michelle Gellar's arm hair (she shaves from elbow down for Tae Kwon Do lessons) for some ocelot hair in a bizzare Santa Monica jewelry heist. Turns out they have the same pH.

  11. Orginal title for Angel: Dark Whackings.

  12. No little puppy dogs were harmed in the award-winning Buffy episode "The Gentleman."

  13. Subscriber's to the WB Fanzine "Angel Loves Buffy" voted that that guy from the 7-Up commercials who was also in Bedazzled and the Replacements And Evolution should be given a role on both shows as a goofy but loveable semi-demon (pronounced "SEH me DEE muhn").

  14. Soup is good food. Blood's not. It lacks vitamin K.

  15. The theme song for Angel, called "Angel's Theme," written and performed by West Hollywood's own Darling Violetta, clocks in at roughly 32 seconds, which is how fast DV Guitarist Jymm Thomas can tune a Biz Hecket acoustic six string.

  16. Anthony Stewert Head (Watcher Giles) may or not be related to Stewert, Head of the Anthony Michael Hall Fan Guild.

  17. Only one person was able to collect all of the Burger King glasses that featured Allyson Hannigan from her role as the flute player in American Pie, due to a shortage of the “opening scene planning the band room practical joke” glass.

    The real Sunnydale High (in Ohio) graduates seniors in sky blue gowns, not maroon. Remember: BtVS is fiction.

  18. Eliza Dushku, who potrayed naughty slayer Faith perfectly, is herself perfect. Really. Watch her bite her bottom lip sometime. Perfection.

  19. From the stand-point of numerology, Xander should marry Dr. Whatsnername, especially since she’s dead.

  20. Blood suckers: vampires. They’re slayer: Buffy Summers. NyQuil suckers: doxylaminaphiliacs: They’re slayer: Matt Damon.

  21. No two snowflakes look alike, not even ones cursed by gypsies into having their souls returned to them as punishment for driving one of their children insane by killing her family and then turning her into a vampire right before she enters a convent.

  22. Celebrity guest star John Stewert, Jewish, nonetheless was thwarted, vampirewise, by a cross. This was on both shows, as different characters.

  23. Buffy’s mom, Joyce, had what palmistry experts call a “Murderer’s Thumb.”

  24. A “Willow” is a kind of tree. And “Tera” is the earth. Get it? (Me neither. But I’m still cool with it.)

  25. Hollywood insiders agree: Norm McDonald would make a much better Dawn than the girl who plays her. Or C-3PO.
