Buffy The Vampire Slayer

BTVS’ "The Zeppo" is the Best One Crazy Night Movies of All Time

Friday 3 October 2008, by Webmaster

Yeah, yeah, it’s not a movie. But one of the all-time most endearing episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was this One Crazy Night story from season three, in which a disheartened Xander gets his mojo back, fights the undead, saves Sunnydale High from a bomb, and loses his virginity.

Unlikely hero: Xander, of course! The beloved supporting character got his own story in a clever inversion of typical TV structure.

Authority figures: None, unless you count the mammoth Hell demon.

Wildest encounter: Xander rescues Faith from demons, and then loses his virginity to her, in a scene that launched a thousand YouTube slash videos (like this one).

The morning after: The next morning at school, a newly confident Xander walks past his ex Cordelia with a knowing smile.
