13 Times Buffy The Vampire Slayer Was The Wittiest

Buffy Summers is an icon. Scratch that — she is a legend. When she's not fighting vampires and all things evil, she's sassing everyone and their mother (including her own mother sometimes). No one is safe from her wit (not even Buffy herself). Whether she's delivering a well-thought out pun or a not-so-great burn, Buffy will sell it like it's her job. Mr. Pointy is her weapon of choice, but her words are really what makes the slayer. Here are some of the best one-liners and comebacks from the slayer herself. *This is for the LA Rotational Fellowship

1. "If the apocalypse comes, beep me".

Before Kim Possible urged us to call her or beep her when we wanna reach her, Buffy was the original. Bringing us back to a time that was much simpler and when you only had a beeper on you to contact people, Buffy reminds us all that when the world's going to shit, give her a ring. If only that offer counted towards crises today.

2. "Conversations over, hell bitch."

The determined stare? The confident, stern voice? Count me in! Also, "hell bitch"? Hold on while I hurry up and change my name in everyone's phone to just that.

3. "Bite Me."

Straight and to the point. Buffy may be the best at slaying vamps, she also has the best stink face. You do not want to get on her bad side, otherwise it's not only vampires you should be worrying about.

4. "It's a sham with yams. It's a yam sham!"

The WB

Oh our food queen. From her sushi pajamas to the yam sham, Buffy always knew a good time (and that involved food). And when you mix that with the fact that she's trash for puns, it gives you... this!

5. "She irons her jeans. She's evil!"

If I didn't know ironing your jeans was a sure sign of damnation before season four, I do now. We all have bad roommates, but one that does this is sure to be the worst ever. And the delivery on this? Buffy is a petty queen for sure. We stan.

6. "No guy is worth your life. Ever."

The WB / Via hiddenremote.com

We love one (1) strong, heroine who does not give a f*** about your feelings. But even more than that, driving home that men ain't shit, especially in a life-or-death situation should win her all the awards. Hello? Earth to Dawn?? Yeah, your sister is the best, so just shut up and listen.

7. "If I were at full slayer power, I'd be punning right now."

The WB

See what I mean? Puns are her bitch. And even though she was running on fumes in this one (thanks to muscle relaxers *glares at The Watchers' Council*), she had time to save the day and deliver this punchy comeback. SLAY ME!

8. "Well, I'm hot. Deal with it."

The WB

Self-doubt? Buffy doesn't know her. Buffy the Vampires Slayer knows she's the chosen one and that she's got the cred to back her shit up. And yes, she is hot. Where are the lies?

9. "Seize the moment. 'Cause tomorrow, you might be dead."

The WB

While this advice was delivered in a kind of funny way, and ended up almost costing Willow her life, she has a point. Carpe Diem and all that. Especially when you're living on a Hellmouth.

10. THAT Cookie dough speech

If you're a fan of Buffy, then you know the cookie dough speech I speak of. If you're not familiar, stop what you're doing and watch it here. As silly as it is, this metaphor makes a ton of sense and really captures the fear of not knowing how to adult just yet.

11. "Power. I have it. They don't. This bothers them."

The WB

A strong woman herself, Buffy knows the struggle of not being respected or appreciated enough. She also has had her fair share of dealing with tyrants in their own way. So it makes sense that she can articulate why she pisses so many bad guys off. Power to the girls!

12. "A vampire with a soul? Oh my god, how lame is that?"

The WB / Via theodysseyonline.com

It's always funny when TV shows and movies play a joke on info the audience already knows. When the Scooby Gang loses their memories of each other and who they are, Buffy still can read Spike for filth. A sassy queen indeed.

13. "I flunked the written."

The WB

Always the strongest but not always the smartest, Buffy has had her struggles in school. But when faced with a Big Bad that doesn't stand a chance, she aces all the comebacks. Even though it was written that she'd die, Buffy obviously has other plans.
