* At the start of "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E20Villains Villains]]", Willow randomly ''summons the god Osiris'' just by screaming for him, seemingly just so the writers can have a god informing the audience that [[spoiler:Tara's death]] can't be magically undone. While this might be an attempt to call back to the urn of Osiris used to resurrect Buffy, it still comes wildly out of left field, Osiris is played by the floating head of a man in cheap makeup, and Willow banishes him afterwards by ''screaming''.

* Any time the show did giant snakes, like Lurconis or the Spawn of Sobek. The sad thing is that they did giant snakes so often because, by the FX team's own admission, giant snakes were ''easier'' than other options (with Lurconis in particular, with a giant rat, all you can do for scale is a foot or nose sticking out of something; with snakes, it's easy to imply there's a ''lot'' more off-camera).

ItMakesSenseInContext but Andrew says it right in the middle of a big dramatic confrontation and it comes across as genuinely serious, rather than the frequent nerdy references Andrew is known for. It seems like the show is trying to play it straight rather than using it for parody.

* Fans just love to mock the scene in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E12ProphecyGirl}} Prophecy Girl]]" when Angel tells Xander that he can't perform CPR on Buffy because, being a vampire, he has no breath. Except that they had been running down a tunnel for a while, and David Boreanez is audibly winded as he says the line.

* Dark!Willow's "bored now". It was supposed to be horrifying and a reminder of the awesome creepiness that was Vampire Willow. With Miss Hannigan playing Dark!Willow like she was sleepwalking, it didn't really have the intended effect.
* There is a scene in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E9TheWish}} The Wish]]" after Vampire Willow and Xander die, and the Master and Buffy are literally pushing people from one side to the other in an effort to get to each other. Dramatic to the point of funny, the scene probably defines narm.
* The occasional instance of FightSceneFailure in the early seasons.
* And the SpecialEffectFailure with the Mayor's Ascension in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E22GraduationDayPart2 Graduation Day Part 2]]".
* Any time the show did giant snakes, like Lurconis or the Spawn of Sobek.
* The utterly ridiculous ease with which some Mooks and [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] are killed.
* Watch as one of the vampires in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E3SchoolHard}} School Hard]]" seems to purposely swerve into the path of a cart kicked in his general direction.
* In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E14FirstDate First Date]]", after Buffy and Xander get back from their dates and people start joking about Xander's penchant for hooking up with demon women, Giles gets angry at everybody and chides them quite loudly about their lack of seriousness. Then he uses the flash cards he made for Chao-Ahn to make his point.
* Dark magic gets you high, as in you literally float up to the ceiling. Fantastic.
* Buffy and Riley's scene at the end of "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E16WhoAreYou}} Who Are You?]]", mostly due to Riley's dialogue.
* Spike's [[DullSurprise non-reaction]] to Dru siring him in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E7FoolForLove}} Fool For Love]]".
* "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E8IRobotYouJane}} I Robot, You Jane]]"
---> [[MemeticMutation "There's a demon in the Internet."]]
* The attempt at a MadnessMantra for computer nerds from the same episode:
---> "I'm jacked in. I'm jacked in."
* The way Willow [[GangstaStyle brandishes the gun]] in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E13TheKillerInMe}} The Killer In Me]]" is distracting.
* For Canadian viewers only, Spike's trigger in Season 7, since it's the same tune as the old kids' show ''The Friendly Giant''. Imagine if the First turned Spike evil by singing "It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood" or "Sunny Days, Sweeping the Clouds Away..." and you'll have an idea of how Canadians saw that scene.

* Season Six: [[spoiler:Dawn is an attention-seeking kleptomaniac, Giles walks out, Xander leaves Anya at the altar because he's afraid they'll end up like his parents, Anya sleeps with Spike after she returns to being a demon, Spike takes off after trying to rape Buffy, Buffy is near-fatally shot, and Tara is killed immediately after reuniting with Willow, who had just kicked her addiction to dark magic]]. All of these twists and drama bombs occur in such rapid succession that looking back, it's almost hilarious, in the same way an overwrought soap opera is. By the time the season six finale rolls around, the angst levels have gotten so ridiculous that [[spoiler:Giles]] bursts out laughing after he's filled in on everything he missed that year, and Buffy promptly follows suit.
* When Buffy is turned invisible in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E11Gone Gone]]", she tries to talk to Dawn, who shrieks out the quite inexplicable line "How am I supposed to talk to you when I can't see you?" One wonders how this girl handles talking on the phone.
* In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E2BargainingPart2 Bargaining Part 2]]", Xander tries to reassure Willow about the urn of Osiris. It's been broken before they could finish the resurrection spell (or so they think) and there's some sad music playing. Xander suggests patching it together with duct tape and crazy glue... completely serious, as if he genuinely thinks that will work.
* In the otherwise extremely effective episode "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E17Passion Passion]]", Angelus kills Jenny Calendar and burns her computer to destroy her findings on how to restore his soul... except, he didn't on the latter. Angelus only destroys Jenny's ''monitor'', leaving her computer--the actual important part that holds all her files--completely untouched. Willow could have easily recovered Jenny's findings by simply buying a new, working computer monitor and hooking it up to Jenny's system. This was, of course, before computers were a staple in most households and knowledge about how they worked wasn't common, so this detail likely slipped by audiences at the time. However, to a modern audience watching back, Angelus' blunder is pretty narmy.
