Buffy is still recovering from being dumped by Parker and finds solace with a bunch of guys who become her drinking buddies.

Willow: There are men, better men, wherein the mind is stronger than the penis.
Xander: NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE PENIS!

Xander: This will give them some time to ponder the geo-political ramifications of BEING MEAN TO ME!

Xander: Giles, don't make Cave!Slayer unhappy.

Willow: Buff, have you heard of this Veruca chick? Dresses like Faith, voice like an albatross?

  • Kick the Son of a Bitch: Cave!Slayer clubs Parker over the head again; Giles, Willow and Xander just shrug and walk off.
  • Nubile Savage: The frat boys grow crooked teeth, heavy brow ridges, and plenty of extra hair. Buffy, who also had plenty to drink, looks like Buffy with sexy-unkempt hair (Xander did cut her off earlier).
  • Perverted Sniffing: Cave!Slayer sniffing Xander.
  • Phlebotinum-Induced Stupidity: A bar-owner brews up some cursed beer for some Jerkass college students that turn them into cavemen.

At least one show, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," was rejected after it showed itself to be immune to the drug office's worldview. "Drugs were an issue, but it wasn't on-strategy. It was otherworldly nonsense, very abstract and not like real-life kids taking drugs. Viewers wouldn't make the link to our message," says someone in the drug-policy office camp who read and helped reject it. [1]
