Back when vampires didn’t suck. Well, they did, but not… I mean they did suck, but they… Oh, nevermind.

This would actually be better if it only mentioned Twilight.
At least they don’t sparkle in sunlight.
They burst into flame.
…and it dosen’t take so long for these two ta get laied!
Nearly 3 years from Angel first saw Buffy till he nailed her (She was still a freshman in LA when he first saw her, and he nailed her on her 17th birthday, so doesn’t even have the excuse that he waited until she was legal [California law]).
You forgot legally…
Fail! Most people wouldn’t have needed that explaining!
no… this “sucked” as well
Agreed. Major suckage to turn a comedy into a drama:P
Joss’s original script for the movie wasn’t quite as campy as the one they ended up going with. The tv show is the way he intended it, not the movie.
Back when vampires looked hot and manly
)
And somewhat ugly when changed. Except Spike, he looked hot vampire-like and human-like
Psh,Angel still looked hot when vamped-out.
Though,I will admit Spike was hotter when vamped.
And furthermore,caption win.
Definitely hot indeed.
I think Angel and Spike could take on the Twilight vampires. With a bit of help from Illyria.
Pssht. Spike could take on the Cullens all by his lonesome.
Spike would have called Edward a ponce.
Spike would’ve called ALL of the Cullens ponces.
[Or is that improper usage? OK, exclude the female Cullens. All the male Cullens, then.]
Buffy’s SISTER could take out the Twilight bunch.
By screaming, “Get out, get out, get out!”
Totally. Dawn was a wimp!
Oh I love you. That is hilarious.
It went right through me every single time she did that O_o
angel and spike dont need illyria to beat the sparklers. cordelia would be able to do it on her own
When Spike had his vamp face on, he looked even more like Billy Idol.
You mean Billy Idol looked more like him
Since when is “hot and manly” synonomous with “gay”?
They aren’t mutually exclusive, either…
Wow, this is made of FAIL.
Only if “Fail” is sexy and edible, with whipped cream and miniature Spikes on top . . .
[I've never seen this promo pic before ... I love it. It'd be even better if David Boreanaz wasn't in it, but I'll live.]
I really like the visual that left me… must go drool now.
Ladies, I’ve got a cold shower that you’re both welcome to borrow. The CCTV cameras? They’re fakes, really, not a live webfeed at all!
I know …
I thought of it, but it didn’t really hit me until I typed it … then, of course, I had to read it again–almost melted all over my new laptop.
It was as if I didn’t write it. I think it came straight out of my id, or something.
I think I love you.
Wait–who? You love who?
Great, another unfunny “I hate twilight” post.
Better then an unfunny ”i love twilight” post, it’s one way or the other! =(
Can’t we just pretend Twilight doesn’t exist and never mention it on this site again?
That ahs always been an option, but no one ever chooses it.
* has.
I’ll have to agree with you Smarties. I’m getting tired of the sparkling gay vampires. I want back vampires with kahonahs (that’s balls for those that don’t know its meaning).
Isn’t it “cojones”?
I think what you typed was pidgin-Spanish.
Unless it’s another language; then, my bad.
Maybe kahonas are cojones from Hawaii?
It wasn’t an option before Twilight came out…
Yes, but this one has hot men. I like hot men. I like them a lot.
I like hot men a lot too. Did you see Gerald Butler in 300? And all those nearly naked men being manly? That was so a chick flick.
“Yes! Let’s prance into battle wearing thongs and capes!”
“Oh good idea. And lets look really hot doing it. Here, wipe this baby oil on my chest.”
People keep trying to tell me they are all CGI, including Gerald Butler. That makes me cry
Trust me, that wasn’t *all* cgi
:p
Oh phew. I knew some of those manchests had to be real, all those rippling muscles…
(click link in name for proof)
Oh wow….
WOW, did he beef himself up for that role! I’ve seen him in lots of movies, but he’s never that big (wonder if he had a little hormonal assistance?). He’s much hotter w/o the full beard, IMO.
Anybody see “RocknRolla”? His best friend comes out and comes on to him? Priceless!
Back when vampires werent glittery homo’s.
Remember back when people knew you weren’t supposed to use apostrophes in plurals? Those were the “day’s”…
Their are tear’s are coming to my eyes just thinking about those time’s.
Your incorrect in you’re use of the apostrophe.
We’re all going to Grammar Hell.
Better than Grammar Nazi’s Sieg Hell.
Okay that was bad, I know.
*beeeeeeeeeeeeep*
Godwin’s law alert!
Or should that be Godwins law? Godwins law’s?
**Professor Restal’s Surgery opens**
Here’s how it works. If it the guy’s name is Godwin then it’ll be Godwin’s Law, if it’s Godwins then it’ll be Godwins’ law.
**Professor Restal – Professor of English, Law, Lockpicking, Picking Pockets and Common Thievery**
Well, not quite. Spike said, “Angel and I were never intimate…except for that one time…”
you mean they didn’t stink
Enough of the ****ing vampire posts already, please. What idiots are voting these through?
I’m thinking of creating a Totally Looks Like with these two… They kind of remind me of a bulldog and one of those bald sphinx cats…
Seems like im the only one who actually loved this one. Good job.
You’re not the only one- I loved it too. I guess all the great comedians have their hecklers, eh? Way to go lummox!!!
Lummox, you just keep rite on making dem FP LOLZ…no listen to jealous peeps… ;D
Hhhmmm…I see a pattern in all this…
“I hate Twilight”
“I hate Jonas Bros.”
“I hate Miley Cyrus”
etc…
We’re all a bunch of haters!!!
Bwaaaahaaahaaa
LOL:)
Why hasn’t anyone realized… That that’s a picture of Edward and James… before the two characters even existed?
The HAIL you say!!
Take that heresy back!
BEGONE DEMON!
Two vampires who ended up not feeding on humans, because they had souls.
How do you not link that to Edward?
I’m not saying Stephanie Meyer ripped off the concept – the idea of good vampires has been around a while – but Spike, and especially Angel – are basically whiny, touchy-feely vampires who don’t feed on humans and are in love with mortal girls (okay – the same mortal girl). And Angel (at least) ends up dating a werewolf.
So – why do you think it’s heresy, exactly?
Well, mostly because Angel was ensouled as a punishment for eating a Romany princess, so he had all the tortured soul stuff for his misdeeds as Angelus, and still had all the Christian symbols burn him and catching fire in sunlight stuff going on, and Spike actively chose (and fought) to be ensouled because he loved Buffy.
Edward’s only disadvantage seems to be sparkling a bit in bright sunlight!
Anne Rice, anyone?
I’d love some.
I’ve got some eggrolls, too.
Spike did actively choose to have his soul returned to him, but before that happened, he was forced into not feeding on humans by the Initiative – don’t forget that bit!
I liked Spike a lot better when he was making jokes about killing people instead of doing soul-searching. (Wait, I meant looking inside himself, not actually searching for a soul in Africa…never mind.) With the chip in his head, he still managed to split the Scoobies up beautifully in season four. Then he fell in love wi/Buffy, which made me hate her for a loooooooong time. She really did treat him like crap.
That’s it. I’m staging an intervention. These captioners are actually delusional. I don’t know what sort of terrifying, obsessive disorder they have that makes them so focused on the Twilight series, but I’m determined to find a cure. These people seem to think that vampires are real and that there was some sort of decline of them. Who wants to help?
Dr. House would do a great job.
“back when vampires didn’t suck”
uh, they still don’t suck, the generally hated version was only 1 movie >.>
Or a book saga and then some movies….
well, series then, lol
I have only one thing to say about these boys: om nom nom nom nom!
You can only nom them if you make it past me . . .
And I don’t think you’re gonna make it–GRRRRRRRR–ARRGGGHH!
Which is worse: waxing and greasing your chest, too much gel and blonde dye combined with overdose of douchebagish lady-killing confidence or sparkling?
Sparkling.
Eh, okay.
Both bad. Blade > both Twilight and Buffy.
Fact.
Mmm *whimpers* Blade. FTW. Not that I’d turn Angel away either…
No, Buffy actually kicked ass. Bella just whines. Twilight and Buffy shouldn’t even be used in the same sentence except for now
I’d go with sparkling too, just because all the other things you mentioned aren’t really exclusive traits to vampires
Yes, technically, that was the style at the time, not an issue exclusive to vampires. I’m sure they’d be less gelled now.
These are the thinking woman’s vampires – none of those mamby pamby sparkley leeches …
For all you people ripping on my lol because of Twilight, and saying it is the only reason I hate what hollywood and tv have done to vampires, I offer you:
1. The recent rash of “Dracula” movies
2. Port Charles
3. That one Smallville with a load of hot vapiresses
4. Ultra-effing-violet
5. The Blade Trilogy (not Blade, but pretty much every other damn vampire in the movies)
6. The Lair (wow, talk about prettying up vampires)
7. The whole Underworld Series (Not all of them, but the vamps that just lounged around the house and looked pretty. What the hell?)
8. Blood Rayne (talk about ruining a game and the image of vamps)
Need I go on?
yes please !
You forgot “True Blood”.
Ahh… those were the days.
Hey, remember when vampires were just stuff of horror legends, nothing but blood-engorged corpses only out for their next meal? Yeah…
Riiight . . . starting with Bram Stoker, at least, they’ve ALWAYS had a sensual quality to them. Come on, biting the neck is a mating ritual in many, many species . . . usually no one dies, either.
Anyone see LET THE RIGHT ONE IN?
That was good. And my all time fave…LOST BOYS. At least there was one real GOTH song in that movie.
they might have sucked but they sure as heck didn’t sparkle
Why is it, whenever someone wonderful posts yet another delicious anti-twilight caption picture that another part of my soul lives again after withering away from the effects of that terrible film/book series?
I go “yay” everytime I see a new one. I dont mind fads at the best of times but at least Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were actually good. Twilight is just so….ugh. It’s High School Musical with more sparkles!
And the horrible thing is, a silly little thing in my work was all “it’s so romantic and yeah this is totally the way vampires are going to be now! That whole Christopher Lee stuff was just stupid! I mean honestly! It’s ridiculous! Now its actually good!”
I’m still trying to locate a stake for that person. I think brainwashing is out of the question for her.
Ok – I am curious. Did you read the whole book series? Or are you just basing your rant on what other people have told you?
And if you can point out to me the part in High School Musical where Zac Efron rips off someone’s head and sets them on fire, then I think I might accept your premise (not to mention probably enjoy the film more – cause it would be kind of fun to watch him do that!)
LOL that would be hysterical, he’d need to watch his underarm hair didn’t go on fire though, because damn that boy is bushy.
I couldn’t stomach the books. I can’t stomach oysters either but I dont force myself to eat them because I’ll only throw it all up on somebody. But yeah… the whole starting at a new school, meeting the beautiful boy, falling in love, being beset by problems and people not wanting them to be together and somehow its fate, and there are dozens of movies and merchandise to come after when yet again they are beset with problems but oh so how they are destined for the other. Yeah…. I’m not seeing much of a difference in premise in either
Not to mention the books were written horribly.
: high five::
I read them all, and they were so challenging I finished them in less than a week!
Honestly, she is not a good writer. She has good ideas, but roughly the same talent as someone off of fanfiction.net. Actually, there my be fanfiction written for twilight that’s better than the original books are.
I doubt it, but someone with literary talent may enjoy them, you never know.
Either way, the whole business has been blown way out of hand. Harry Potter and LOTR fans aren’t as obsessive as Twilight fans, and they are at least good books and movies!
Oh, you mean ‘Breaking Dawn: the Ruination of Everything Twilight Fangirls Held Dear’?
Believe me, HP and LOTR fans are just as obsessive! I know a LOTR fan who knows Elrond’s entire family tree by heart. I bet there are people who know the entire Black family tree by heart.
Mind you, they do seem to have to have more of a sense of humour about people who don’t like HP or LOTR.
i hate fanboys/girls, i dont care what series, book or movie they’re obsessively gushing over. they’re all equally annoying.
Harry Potter fans are more…down-to earth. They’re able to accept the fact that other people don’t love the books as much as they do. And when you ask one why she has an obsession with the series, she can tell you that it’s well-written and it’s a good and original storyline. With a plot.
Next time you see a Twilight fangirl, ask her why she loves the series so much. I ca guarantee you her response will be something along the lines of “cuz it’s about romance, and it’s the biggest book I’ve ever read [if they had the decency to even READ the books] and like Edward is so HOTT!”
And I don’t know the entire Black family tree by heart, because I think Sirius’s family is undeserving of my obsession and love. They were horrible to him and their other family members. They disowned people for not marrying purebloods.
And not all of us fangirls are idiotic and obsessive [although I'm going to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter 6, but I generally think they cut out too much from the original story, and I don't think Daniel Radcliffe is the right person to play Harry]. Not all of us jump in circles at the mention of anything Harry Potter. And it doesn’t consume our entire lives. And we don’t all make our screen names “Mrs. Harry Potter” or “Mrs. Draco Malfoy” At least not me.
They’re filed in the Children’s Section in most shops. What exactly were you expecting from Young Adult books? Classic literature?
so true.
LB, don’t bash a person’s opinion on it because you dislike what they say. Not stomaching something isn’t the same as not reading it.
And if she hasn’t read all the books, who’s to say she didn’t try? Maybe she’s like me and while she gave it a try just couldn’t handle the horrid writing, bad ‘reinvinting’ of one of the greatest of monsters in the universe, and the over played Vampire vs. Werewolf cliche’?
I have read the Twilight series and enjoyed it. I have read the Harry Potter series and enjoyed it. I have read Bram Stokers Dracula and enjoyed it. I’ve read dozens of series’ that have, through their existence, been criticized because of the reaction of “obsessive fangirls”. I have to admit it’s rather off putting when someone who hasn’t read a series goes on about how it sucks just to hang with ‘the crowd’. Its nice that someone actually gave it a shot before criticizing something they know little to nothing about. Thanks for making the attempt. I myself didn’t like HP at first, and had to muster the will to get through the entire first three books before I got any enjoyment out of it.
Now then. I do have to say that I have to disagree with the view that Bram Stoker would be appalled. Bram Stoker, in my mind, would be glad to see people putting a new slant on the genre. Honestly, Bram Stoker himself did not create vampires, he created the most popular view of what a vampire should/could be. In fact, if you know mythology then you would know that there are several incredibly unusual views of what vampires are and do, including some being bloated and dark, some had lions heads and the body of a donkey, some were demonic, bronze footed creatures, Ukrainian folktale even tells of vampires having red faces and tiny tails. So saying that vampires have to be a certain way, i.e., pale, gaunt, thin, beautiful, burn in sunlight, and cant cross over running water, etc, is only true for one version of vampire mythos. The fact that she tried to make her vampires in Twilight different than what is accepted as the -only- way to do vampires anymore was refreshing.
Now, I wont say she’s an amazing writer, I’ve read much, much better. However I’d honestly like to see other people, possibly better writers, do something similar. Experiment with the genre, don’t be bound by what is, instead play with what can be. I’d like to see different takes on what a bloodsucker is than just what is accepted as vampires now.
I HAVE read the series and will continue to go on about how it sucks, because it does.
In response to the section about Bram Stoker. I am very well much aware that he did not create them. Trust me, I have done extensive research into the subject for two years for reasons I won’t go into. I’ve looked at biblical sources, the mythology of Eastern Europe, why the drinking of blood was considered so evil etc. I love mythology, although I have to admit Greek mythology is rather strange; Zeus turning into animals to mate the mortals is just… let’s not go there. Vampires used to have reflections, they used to have an obsession with counting, they were ruddy and didn’t smell all that nice. So I know perfectly well they arent supposed to be thin and pretty and pale. But the fact remains that most modern vampire writers have looked to Mr Stoker first before they delve into other sources. They don’t look up Lilith, or Lamia at first. Stephanie Meyer admitted for the first one she did no research at all. Therefore she would have had to gotten her information from pop culture, which is the culture stemming from Mr Stoker. And I very much doubt a drunken Irishman would at all approve of a sparkling vampire that very rarely drinks blood.
Does it count that I want to rip off my own head after seeing Zac Efron? And in the Twilight movies whenever a vampire head gets ripped off its not like there’s blood and gore. It would look no different if I ripped the head off of a mannequin.
oh damn right!
mmm so delicious
i still watch this show!
and have dreams about David Borenaz….
eww.. how do they not suck?? these whiny dramaqueens on this picture aren’t even close to handsome, manly OR enjoyable for that matter… o_O /puke
^^^^as above. This show was/is gash
Marry me, Cait.
Sometimes sex appeal has only a little to do with a person’s appearance, and much more to do with their character and personality.
If you haven’t watched this show, then you would not understand.
But then, some people won’t get it, no matter what. Some will only get it when they get a little older.
Handsome, manly, and definitely enjoyable, IMO. [Whiny? I'd only apply that to Angel. Spike tried to keep that side hidden. Now, applying "drama queens" to characters from a television series is quite funny, when you think about it . . . what else are TV characters going to be? Everything is over-the-top and blown out of proportion on a TV show. Duh.]
*fans self* I’d almost forgotten how hot James Marsters is as Spike. I get my weekly dose of David Boreanaz on Bones…but not nearly enough Spike apparently. That is one hot picture
I think part of the reason Bones works so well is the same as the reason Buffy worked better with David in it that without him, or than Angel worked. David just works better with a strong female lead that he sparks off (straight male talking).
Everybody go back to your origins…read Dracula, the original book, no re-writes, no commentaries, not prettied up. Go back and read that and tell me what you think (or thought) the first time you have read it. How many times did it bring tears to your eyes? A tough read, but awsome just the same.
At the same time though, Dracula (book, and Bela Lugosi film) can be read/viewed as a love/stalker story, rather than slash fiction. I’ve said it before though; there are always (Meyer apart) significant disadvantages to being a vampire (less so in some ways but more so in others in the Buffyverse from in Dracula), and sparkling in sunlight isn’t much of a disadvantage. What I know of Meyer comes across as written for Californian Goths, as in Buffy season 2 (I think “All You Can Eat”, the one that introduces the recurring Buffy/Angel character later known as Anne, which name she adopts after Buffy saves her in Episode 3:1), and not the dread creatures of pretty much every other story except possibly Anne Rice.
Dracula the original book!! Fail Fail and again FAIL!! Sorry Dracula is nowhere near the original Vampire story. The Vampire Legend itself has been going since time immemorial (when they used to be known as Revenants.) Vampires in Fiction have been going since Varney the Vampire (Penny Dreadful horror from the 1840s), and Carmilla by Sheridan LeFanu from the 1870s and have been going on even before then going into the 1700s with various other stories written by various authors including Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Lord Byron (although it has been said that Byron didn’t write the story it was actually done by his Doctor.) Dracula was the original of the more modern Vampire epics.
You know, I was going to say something about that & changed my mind. I’m glad you did speak up, though, since your knowledge seems to be more extensive than mine. TY!
I was thinking of mentioning, too, some of the early Eastern European legends, which, I believe, are what spawned the silent movie “Nosferatu” . . . nowhere near as romantic as the “Dracula” remakes, but worth mentioning, esp. if people think of Stoker or “Dracula” as “original”.
They’re both fugly and the show was stupid.
This ones better
http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=4467480
loved spike! hated angel…he whined way to much.
ok folks, I have never seen Twilight and probably won’t, but I did watch Buffy and it was great until it jumped the shark with “the Key” crap…but I must tell you there might be something to the sparkly stuff. I have the “vampire-disease”, Porphyria and it does make body fluids–including sweat– and also certain body parts like teeth, flourescent under black light. So after a night dancing at the club I can get a wee bit sparkly myself.
And Spike was the HOTTEST! (Angel was cry-baby.)
The caption made me laugh. And I have never watched a single episode of Buffy/Angel. I did try to read Twilight, but I couldn’t make it past lightning baseball. Actually, I quit just before lightning baseball because that just sounded too silly to be believed – even worse than all the other eye-rolling scenes up to that point.
But if you really want to read something so bad it’s hilarious try any one of the Vampire Hunter D books. Now, I am talking about the BOOKS here, not the anime or any graphic novels that might exist. I think they are translated from Japanese but the writing is still some of the most heavy sigh and eye-rolling inducing I have ever attempted. D is so invincible and good looking you just get tired of hearing about it over and over. Makes Meyer look good.
even though I think sparkling vampires is a little stupid, it is nothing compared to a vampire named ANGEL
Yeah, I mean had he been Latino, it would have made sense, but an “Irish” vamp named Angel was plain stupid, to me.
He was named by his youngest sister, just before he ripped her throat out. She thought he was an angel returned to watch over her.
Plus – you know – with the irony? (Or are you from the USA where most people seem to think irony is something that is like an iron?)
It’s short for Angelus, and it’s meant to be ironic.
Yeah and his real name was Liam.
u haters rly need shut the freak up about how the “vampires of today” are like really gay. well their not!!!! cuz maybe there are actually ppl out there who actually like twilight!!!
Yeah… so? Freedom of speech and all that, the right to say something sucks literally. You have the right to like something, I have the right to say said something is the worst big thing to happen since Pokemon and we all remember how annoying that was.
Like it, go ahead. But it sucks.
ok then claire im stating my opinion……. im just saying ppl who do not like twilight are not the only ppl in the world.
omg…… does anyone actually think this caption is at least a little offensive???????
LOL it does tend to suggest vampires in general are a leaning a little towards man love if you get what I mean
OMG, your anxiety and bad grammar amuses me.
No, nobody here cares because nobody here likes Twilight.
Yeah I mean its fine. Why not make a funny picture about how you like it then? Because this is a place for everyone to have their opinion. Live and Let Live
im sry claire i kind of missunderstood u. and i do understand wat u were saying. im sry….again. and taco im frikin 12 yrs old so shut up! im glad i amsuse u. im not effin perfect
OMG Booth was a vampire before he was an FBI agent?!
Mmm…Angel.
Is it bad that when I read the caption I heard it in Willow’s voice.
I <3 Buffy.
That’s cute.
[TY. Should I admit I had to try it out in my head a coupla times?]
no, these vampires were terrible. i don’t even know what movie this is and i can tell you it’s horrible.
Idiot. They were both series, not movies. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. And they were great =)
No, they weren’t. Buffy and Angel were never remotely close to being relatable to the term great. Bad plots topped with worse acting and worst special effects. Twilight over these pathetic losers any day of the week.
If you can say “bad plots” and “worse acting”, then you either haven’t seen much “Buffy”, or you saw a few eps of the 1st season, only (come on, fans–there are a few of the 1st season that sucked, big time). Joss Whedon is awesome. I suppose you’d bag “Firefly”, too?
Don’t get me wrong. I think the Buffyverse is a wonderful idea. But you can’t seriously mean that the TV-show did that idea justice. Maybe they can put some of the blame on a low budget, but the fact that they picked Gellar as the main for the show proves that the crew behind it weren’t fit for the job. Come on, Gellar was mildly interesting in her early works, but she didn’t reach the predicted hights in her career. And she certainly wasn’t fit to be Buffy. An almost-skilled actress who doesn’t match the character she’s supposed to play. Sounds like a bad idea.
Boreanaz and Marsters are competent actors, the same can undoubtedly be said for Anthony Head. That only makes it all too obvious that the scripts they had to work with were of poor quality. And I’ll bet my paycheck that I can personally make better choreographies for fight scenes without breaking a sweat. Idea was good, cast and audience were let down. And now we’ll have to wait for about 30 years before it’s safe to do a better remake without morons protesting in the streets.
OK: I’d agree about Gellar–later on, most times, she was good, but there *were* times when I thought she was the just about worst actor on the show.
However, I have to disagree with the scripts & fight choreography claim.
For me, I was long an adult when this show started, and I thought: “Oh, no. Another teen high-school show … and they’re going to make the vampire-genre goofy and silly.” So, I didn’t watch. At first. I got into it in the–I think–4th season. Then, of course, I had to go back and watch the others, and I could see how it developed.
Yes, they made it somewhat campy–but so was the original. Yes, they started it in high school, but it dealt with some universal themes and stories.
Any show that could grab my interest and devour as much of my time as it did, deserves some consideration for quality. IM-not-so-humble-O.
Wow. I think that’s the first semi-reasonable discussion I’ve had online. No name-calling, no caps lock … thank you, sir, I enjoyed that.
No “sir”, here, but–you’re welcome.
I just don’t see any point in getting all flipped out about what is a pretty subjective viewpoint, especially about entertainment. Mine is not for other people, perhaps, but I can try to make them see what I find fulfilling or absorbing in it. I don’t see what makes the majority of the TV-viewing public tick, either. For instance, I can’t stomach nearly all reality shows, nor do I like talent shows (like “Idol”) or game shows (like “Deal”). Some people don’t like science fiction or fantasy because it’s not “real”. I can’t quite understand those people, but they can like whatever they want. My mom always said, “It takes all kinds to make the world go around.”
No, those two (figuratively) sucked aswell. Just not quite as much.
Hey Lundix: It’s people like this “Traitorfish” ^, who bug me a little.
They bag on something without saying *why* they think it “sucks”.
OK, T. Your opinion duly noted and logged for future reference!
LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE!!!! WHAT DID IT EVER DO TO YOU!!! THEIR HAVING PROBLEMS AS IT IS!!! DO YOU THINK IT’S EASY TO PAY FOR CHILD CARE ON A HALF-VAMPIRE BABY?!?!? DO YOU THINK IT’S EASY TO LIVE ON ANIMAL BLOOD INSTEAD OF HUMAN BLOOD FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE? THE SERIES COULD INSTEAD BE ABOUT VAMPIRES KILLING PEOPLE AND SUCKING OUT THEIR BLOOD WHEN THEY’RE SLEEPING! MAYBE THE VAMPIRES WILL GO DO IT TO YOU!!! THEY’RE NOT HUMAN! AND ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS MAKE JOKES ABOUT HOW THEY SPARKLE! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU SPARKLED? EVERYONE WOULD THINK YOU WERE A FREAK! YOU’D HAVE TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN OR ELSE EVERYONE WOULD THINK THAT YOU WERE GAY! AND IF YOU’RE A GIRL, THEY WOULD THINK THAT YOU WERE SOME FREAKING POPSTAR THAT HAS A TOTAL SELF-IMAGE PROBLEM. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE COMPARED TO BRITNEY SPEARS? I KNOW THEY’RE NOT HUMAN, SO YOU CAN’T REALLY RELATE TO THEM, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE SHOULDN’T CARE ABOUT THEM. MAYBE THEY’LL JUST CLIMB IN YOUR WINDOW ONE NIGHT AND SUCK ALL YOUR BLOOD OUT AND LEAVE YOU DEAD. DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT? LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE!
I rofled:P
Oh dear…do you think she’s actually being serious? That thought frightens me…
I want to say it was a joke combining Twilight and Cris Crocker’s crazy meltdown rant about Britney, but knowing the fandom I can’t tell if it’s a spoof or not.
thank you!!!!!!
If you’re being sarcastic/ironic, then great job, if you’re not then, oh… just…stop… while you’re behind.
Not only was it back when vampires sucked blood (Angel drank human blood, just not from the source, if my aunt is right), it was when you could say they were sexy and be seen as sane by more than Twitards. David Boreanaz is still sexy. Ten years from now, I’m betting Robert Pattison or whatever his name is will be starring in B-grade movies rather than on stuff people actually watch. Sorry if anyone disagrees with me – at least I accept other opinions. (that’s for Twilight fangirls)
Angel actually normally bought pigs’ blood from the local slaughterhouse; there are a couple of scenes where Buffy meets him there in season 3.
You’re not wrong about DB though; I’m straight male, and still find him sexy.
i think i have the perct final they didnt sparklee
wtf!!! these nubs look like wax figures! at least the twilight vampires dont die when they go in the sunlight.
For God’s sake, you’re twelve, watch your language! And the reason so many people hate Twilight is because they don’t Vampires are vampires as they die in the sunlight. Sparkling is for pansies.
D@mn straight; take away the disadvantages like needing to drink blood and dieing in sunlight, and what’s left is an EMOgirl “fairie”, not a vampire!
I meant the reason so many people hate Twilight is because the vampires don’t die in sunlight.
i no im sry but srsly tansey if u heard sum of the language of kids my age is unbelievable!!!! and i no its kind of weird that were not even teens yet and we like twilight. i just want ppl to no that there r ppl out ther that actually like twilight…-sigh-
Please re-post your comment in the English language. Thank you.
As a twelve year old, you’d think she could at least spell a few more words right. My name was written just there and she spelt it wrong. And yes, I know people like Twilight. You need to know that there are people who don’t, and they’re (we’re?) generally the type to take it out in sarcastic humour rather than so many fans of Twilight taking it out with “z0MG i <333 edDiekinz!!!" posts.
SRSLY, Tansey!
Sarcastic Humor > Bad Grammar.
And we just want people to know that Twilight is a poorly-written fantasy/romance [emphasis on the "fantasy" part, VAMPIRES AREN'T REAL!] series, followed by a poorly-funded movie sereis [with horrible acting, not to mention special effects...].
I’m wondering if anyone else noticed that all of the commenters defending Twilight insist on using grammar that would make any middle school English teacher have a conniption.
They’re just copying their idol, Stephenie Meyer.
Because we all know the original draft of Twilight looked like this:
“wull…i movd to this new town to get away from my mumm who married this dude who playd basbal and so i went to my dadz and there waz this weird pale guy and guess what i fell in luv! isnt tthatt CRAZEE?!”
Haha. I found this very amusing. I used to be a huge fan of the Angel/Buffy series when they still made new episodes. I watch it every now and again but the last few times I watched it… I see why some say the fight scenes are horrible. And the special effects. But I will always love DB and Spikes because their yummy. The idea was good for the show but like what was said before… low budget and whatnot made it not as good as it could of been. I have read all of the Twilight books and watched the movie. Honestly, in my opinion, they were not that great. It was too much of a cliche, and now with all the hype about it, I cant stand Twilight. So I would defintely say The Angel/Buffy series is better than Twilight. Of course, in my opinion. And I am 17, so it cant be said that Im simply not of age to be a fangirl. I know a lot of people that are in love with Twilight. They usually drive me cray though.
crazy*
I don’t care what the caption says, that’s the hottest picture ever
Oh for the love of all that is holy give it a rest! Why can’t you just leave Twilight alone? I mean is it impossible to like Angel and Twilight? I do, so no.
for all those who haven’t noticed yet, the fangirls that have to go overboard and really obsess, are obsessing over the most pointless things. ex. twilight, jonas, hannah montana, ect.
*sneezes on this and similar lols and haters* *Sniff* Sorry……….*cough*……I am allergic to fail……*r-rr-retch*….got to go now…………..aaack!
*H-ha-hackk wheeze* Sorry *sneezes on lol and similar ones, as well as haters* Allergic to fail………..*r-rr-retch* I must leave this *sneeze* place and travel to a place with *hack* less, See you *wheeze* puppies later.
IT’S BOOTH!!! FROM BONES!!! rite? it is him rite? what movie is this from???
its from the show angel/Buffy the vampire slayer his first big acting thing. Seriously.
I think this was a shot for Buffy, Spike only showed a couple times in Angel, except for season five or whatever.
sooo true. lmao
Yeah that was supposed to be a parody of the people who get pissed off over every single caption. But, as I’m sure everyone’s figured out, sarcasm doesn’t transfer well over the internet.
