Storyline

- TriviaIn an interview, Joss Whedon revealed doubts he and David Solomon had about the quality of the script: "The fourth season's Beer Bad wasn't everyone's cup of tea, especially with Buffy fans". Solomon had some doubts but it turned out to be better than he expected. "Joss wasn't entirely pleased with this story," he says. "He came into my office at the last minute with the script and said to me, 'I tried to make it better but all I did was make it funnier.' I took that to mean, 'We're not exactly sure what this is supposed to be about so just enjoy yourself.' So I actually had a ball doing it. It was a laugh to watch frat boys turn into cavemen and have Buffy affected by the same thing that was affecting them. We just let everyone go 'crazy' and nothing all bad came out of it."
- GoofsXander, Buffy, and Willow get up from the table. The personal microphone equipment clipped to the waistband at the back of Nicholas Brendon's pants is visible; he adjusts his shirt to cover it as they turn to walk.

Great fun ! Love it
"Beer Bad" is a loot of fun, I love that Xander is a barman, i love all the comedy stuff about it. These kind of episode are vital to a show, to change the Pace with more serious episodes.
Can recognise a great show on the way it can change from one episode to another and still beiing good. Like The X files, Buffy is capable of giving us comedy episode, drama, sometime romance episodes, action one, weird one, thats why a show is great.
When a show is not confident enough, it just stay every single episodes with the same stuff, like criminals Minds or NCIS, boring show because its always the same story with just a few things changing from one episode to another.
