Trivia

RILEY, YOU BIG LUG

A small shrine to the dumbest man on TV. This week:

He's worried he'll get dumber now he's not taking his vitamins. Impossible, surely?

"These spells. These really work? I mean, can you really turn your enemies inside out?" - How long has he been with the Scooby gang? And he still doesn't believe in magic?

"Sounds like nonsense" - surely not the best reply to Buffy's theory, even if he does actually think she's right. Does he want a punch in the nose?

Jonathan has appeared regularly as a minor character in the series - most memorably when he tried to shoot himself in Earshot.

Alternate Universes have cropped up before - most notably in The Wish, when Anya did the vengeance demon thing, making a world in which Buffy never came to Sunnydale.

Umbrellas Ahoy: The sharp eyed will realise all is not well in Sunnydale, as it's raining at one point!

Umbrellas Ahoy 2: Jonathan claims he was presented with the class protector award by Buffy, except he wasn't really. Buffy got the award in The Prom - a toy umbrella, which a vampire took the mick out of in The Freshmen.

Crooner: Jonathan's singing voice is provided by Brad Kane - the voice of Aladdin in the Disney films. He also appeared in The Prom.

Butchers Blood: Spike can't feed from humans now he is 'chipped', so has to rely on animal blood from a butchers - Angel used to get his blood this way too...

Jonathan.com: The poster advertising Jonathan's website dissappears leaving a poster for Oz's band, Dingoes Ate My Baby.

Superstar Superhighway: Jonathan claims to have invented the Internet, which is all feelthy lies. If you want to know more about the history of the web, check out our Retro Fads section.

Robert Louis Stevenson: The episode references the classic story of Jeckyll and Hyde - where a mad scientist type creates his own monster alter-ego.

40°: Does anyone else think that Jonathan looks like what would happen if Fox Mulder shrank in the wash?
