   Buffy: The 10 Funniest Characters In The Series (& Their Best Quote)   
      
   Buffy The Vampire Slayer is a series filled with hilarious characters. From   
   Spike to Oz, here are the funniest ones & their best quotes.   
      
   BY DANIEL SMITH   
      
   Buffy the Vampire Slayer featured a host of larger than life characters, in   
   their never-ending battle against the forces of darkness throughout the   
   shows seven seasons. The show was a mix of action, spooks and of course Joss   
   Whedon's trademark humor and witty dialogue.   
      
   As a result of this perfect blend of tones, the show garnered much success   
   and is a staple of popular culture. Its fan base is still passionate over a   
   decade after the show ended, and continues to grow because of the terrific   
   characters. With this in mind here are the   
      
      
   10   
   Giles   
      
   Giles had a unique sense of humor among the gang. His uptight Britishness,   
   age, and above all else familiarity with all things supernatural and demonic   
   gave him the ability to make jokes no one else could.   
      
   There are so many great Giles quotes but one of the best has to be: "Demons   
   after money. Whatever Happened to the still-beating heart of a virgin. No   
   one has any standards anymore." Featured in season 3 episode 17 "Enemies",   
   perfectly encapsulated his sense of humor.   
      
      
   9   
   Faith   
      
   From the beginning, it was clear that Faith had a darkness inside her,   
   though no one suspected to what extent. Her transformation to full-on   
   villain in season three and the major's right-hand woman brought out the   
   evil in her... and the fun.   
      
   The following quote perfectly sums up her dangerously funny attitude: "I'll   
   be sittin' at his right hand. Assuming he has hands after the   
   transformation. I'm not too clear on that part."   
      
      
   8   
   Clement   
      
   Unlike other demons Clement wasn't all bad, though he may have included in   
   gambling for kittens, he was a pretty chill guy. Friend of Spike, Clement   
   crossed paths with the Scooby gang on numerous occasions.   
      
   His loose-fitting skin and floppy ears gave him a funny appearance, unlike   
   the terrifying faces most demons bear. Though he wasn't featured much   
   throughout the series, the way he introduced himself at a party in the   
   season 6 episode "Older and Far Away" is effortlessly relatable "Hi, I'm   
   Clement. Clem."   
      
      
   7   
   Cordelia   
      
   Cordelia had sass by the gallon, though she grew and simmered down by   
   graduation she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She was a unique component   
   of the group, almost a misfit among the misfits.   
      
   Though undoubtedly her dynamic with Xander was unique, and she was the most   
   brutally honest with and unafraid to point out his shortcomings."It must be   
   really hard when all your friends have, like superpowers: Slayer, werewolf,   
   witch, vampires, and you're, like, this little nothing".   
      
      
   6   
   Willow   
      
   Willow changed dramatically from her first appearance in season one to the   
   final episode, but one thing that remained constant was her sense of humor   
   and ability to say the right funny thing to skim over the awkwardness of   
   high school life.   
      
   Neither was she afraid to stand up for herself. Demonstrated in the Season 3   
   episode "Choices": "It didn't have to be this way. But you made a choice. I   
   know you had a tough life. I know that some people think you had a lot of   
   bad breaks. Well, boo-hoo!".   
      
      
   5   
   Oz   
      
   Oz had one of the most out-there and random minds of any member of the gang.   
   In fact he was never really trying to be funny, but his unprompted musings   
   on all things couldn't help but make those around him laugh.   
      
   Take for example his thoughts on gatherings, shindigs, and hootenannies;   
   "Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings;   shindig, dip, less   
   mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverages;   and   
   hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoote, just a little bit of nanny."   
      
      
   4   
   Xander   
      
   Though he may not have possessed any powers or amazing abilities, Xander was   
   an integral part of the group. He was the everyman, the normalcy. And as a   
   result of this had a different and often funny take on almost every   
   situation the gang found themselves in.   
      
   His attitude is perfectly illustrated with the following quote: "I hate my   
   uncle. I hate my whole family. That's why I'm marrying you, to start a new   
   family. Have children, make them hate us. Then one day, they'll get married,   
   we'll sleep on their couch. It's the circle of life."   
      
      
   3   
   Anya   
      
   Former vengeance demon Anya had a dramatic transformation and was forced to   
   put the vengeance aside to live like a mortal. She fell for Xander and   
   almost married him.   
      
   While she enjoyed most aspects of her newfound life, she was more than happy   
   to make it clear when something didn't sit right with her. Particularly   
   regarding her marriage vows: "I promise to love you, to cherish you, to   
   honor you, uh, not to obey you, of course, because that's anachronistic and   
   misogynistic and who do you think you are, like a sea captain or something?"   
      
      
   2   
   Buffy Summers   
      
   Despite the ups and downs of her life, the tragedy, and the triumph, Buffy   
   always kept her chin up and retained her sense of humor. It was one of her   
   defining qualities, with a quip ratio to rival Spidey.   
      
   Whether facing off against the demonic forces of the Hellmouth or with the   
   other forces of darkness, like high schoolers, she dispatched jokes easier   
   than vamps.  Particularly Cordelia: "Cordelia. Your mouth is open, sound is   
   coming from it. This is never good."   
      
      
   1   
   Spike   
      
   Spike had a sense of humor like no other, he is a century-old vampire after   
   all. He always spoke his mind, no matter how dark the contents or how little   
   everyone around him wanted to hear it.   
      
   He quickly became a fan favorite, and it's not difficult to see why, with   
   quotes like: "Oh please! if every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion   
   was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock. I was actually at   
   Woodstock. That was a weird gig. I fed off a flower person, and I spend the   
   next few hours watching my hand move." Spike earned his place as one of the   
   all-time great vamps.
