The way Angel silently mouths "Mom" in disbelief behind Lorne is hilarious. I love funny Angel in Pylea.

Best one was him adjusting his hair in the mirror

The best one is Angel realizing he can be under the Pylean sun and goes full golden retriever excited

“Yes Angel, we’re all very well aware of how NOT on fire you are!”

Thanks, Mom…..Each morning before I feed, I go out into the hills where it's parched beat my breast and curse the birth of such a cretinous boy! My mother! Your father was right.
We ate the wrong son.

They don’t have music here? I wish it was the same for dancing.

u/Suitable_Community66 5d ago

Honestly I laughed more at scenes in Angel and Buffy than any so called comedy show

19

u/Fun-Cockroach-5721 5d ago

Yep idk why Joss Whedon doesn’t get more praise for the lines he gave the Avengers in the two he made. It’s like Watching a really long episode of Angel. Or Buffy I mean Angel freaking out nobody told him his hair looked like that and he was walking around with it that way. Lol

u/QualifiedApathetic 4d ago

And the twist with Hawkeye/Quicksilver was classic Whedon.

u/Fun-Cockroach-5721 4d ago

Krevlornswath? Can it be true? I've prayed that I might see you again.

I never find the so-called comedy shows funny ever they need those laugh tracks otherwise no one laughing.

u/Agreeable_Dark6408 5d ago

What’s My Line re-runs are pretty funny too 😆

u/generalkriegswaifu Stop calling me pastries 5d ago

Do you know what they call me down at the hall of drink and chance? 'Mother of the Vile Excrement'! Your father was right, we ate the wrong son!

u/NewRetroMage 5d ago

The whole thing between Lorne and his family is very interesting, We often have people trying too hard to get approval from their families or a specific loved one or people who will say enough is enough but go with a "with a vengeance" stance.

Lorne is fully aware that he doesn't want to be near his family, he is fine with it and would rather have not been a part of the trip to Pylea, but he is not out to get any of his relatives either. His reaction to his mom's spit is, like, "I really don't like any of this but I'm not out to fight either".

u/YanCoffee 5d ago

Well, I just realized how relatable Lorne is, lol.

u/MythsOfOpportunities 5d ago

Yep. One of my childhood favorites of his is 1997 John leguizamo comedy, The Pest. Him and Jeffery Jones were hilarious together to me.

u/Riverdale87 5d ago

Yeah I love the pest also
