VIa sueworld2003:

If “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” Were Set In Britain.

Example:

44. Xander would have left school at 16 and done a carpentry apprenticeship.

45. He’d have his own white van.

46. And would go on at least one lads holiday to Magaluf.

(Agree with everything, pretty much, except #31, as no way would Willow have grown up on a council estate.)

Xander the White Van Man is very funny. I like the Davis Jason reference too.

[elisi]

I want Xander the White Van Man now. With lots of male friends. Going out for cheeky Nandos...

[gillo]

Xander and his mates at Wetherspoons first, then a cheeky Nandos and finally a late vindaloo...

[elisi]

This makes me sad for things we will never see...

Imagination, like radio, has the best graphics.

Hee!

[elisi]

:D

[shapinglight]

Heh! Funny.

[elisi]

Yeah, it needed to be shared [even further]. :)

*guffaw*

Hell, I barely watched Buffy, and that's still hilarious :)

Thank you!

I will now always wish we'd had a Yorkshire Angel...

[gillo]

Angel was in Yorkshire more than once - to murder Holtz's family (primarily for being a bunch of southern poofs) and then again to hide out in a mine with Darla, Dru and William, who had upset the local villagers. (Again, mainly by being a Bloody Southerner at a guess.)

Nobody ever recognised Angelus's accent, so they all assumed he was just from a more remote bit of Yorkshire, possibly Todmorden.

My instinct was to say Mytholmroyd, but that would have been too mainstream ;-)

[elisi]

Could just have gone with Ossett. That's even further off the beaten track... ;)

[gillo]

I know, but the name is less intrinsically funny. Unlike, say, Liversedge, Cleckheaton or Heckmondwyke, which ought to be far harder to get to than they are.

[elisi]

True. Ossett doesn't quite roll of the tongue in the same manner. *g*

Xander would need some lad friends first before he could get anywhere near Magaluf.

[elisi]

Well if he'd been British, he might have had some?

[liliaeth]

And would Cordy even be in the same school?

[elisi]

Probably not. Nor would they be in uniforms, unless it was a very posh further education college...

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

Oh wow XDDD

[elisi]

It's a thing of beauty. :)

40-43 made me laugh out loud. : )

[elisi]

Yeah, they're onto something there...

[promethia_tenk]

I think you're probably right about that, but I lol'd at the last one.

[elisi]

Yes, that was a beautiful touch. :)

[promethia_tenk]

Cue Abed's wailing.

Girls did sports in my high school, too; our cheerleaders were least sporty girls and basically couldn't do anything but kick their own bottoms as they "ran". The male athletes all dated female soccer and lacrosse and field hockey players and such.

That part of 80-90s popular culture always baffled me.

Nice.

I'm from Scandinavia, so it's all alien to me...

This kind of stuff is fun ;)

It really is. :)
