Based on that list, I chose Anya and Harmony. Both two of my favorite characters, Anya for obvious reasons. Harmony is one character that I find to be extremely underrated. Once she gets vamped, I just have a smile on my face the entire time she's on screen, well, most of the time.

I agree Spike should totally be up there he was totally funny. I guess we all have opinions but I think when making a poll you should add everyone that applies not your personal favs. I also voted for Anya and Andrew.

Ok now I feel bad for not including Spike. But was he that funny?? Has anyone here ever laughed to one of his lines?? I laugh at his lines all the time! 1.Spike:"Is everyone here incredibly stoned?" 2.Xander: "You're a monster! They make monster movies about you." Spike: "Well yeah, you got me there." That's just off the top of my head. Spike's humor really got a chance to shine over on Angel too. He's the funniest character to me during Season 5.

Seriously, would anyone choose Spike over Anya, Cordelia or Andrew for comic relief? Ok he's cool and charming and funny. But he's far from being a clown in BTVS. He's more the tormented character type. No i wouldn't choose him over people like Anya Cordelia and Andrew but i would choose him over oz and xander and there on the list

As much as I love the Xan Man, I'm really gonna have to go with Anya on this one.

I feel so bad for not including Spike! What's more Spike has a huge amount of fans. Now I am losing karma points by the minute!!
What happened is that I thought to myself that Willow was hilarious too during the first seasons (until season 3). She was so cute when she used to be all nerdy. I laughed so hard when she once said "i'm just gonna eat a snack now and it's not even lunch time, I don't care", something like that. She was funny, really funny. But then I thought that Buffy too sometimes has funny lines. Some may find Giles funny at times too. i mean it's not a poll about who's the funniest character, it's a poll about who worked better as "comic relief". I just figured Xander was obviously used as a clear comic relief. I wish I had put Weasley up on that list. And sorry for all the Spike fans. I hope the fact Willow is not up on the list either makes you feel better!

I wasn't sure Oz was considered a comic relief. But I put it up in the list because I had a feeling some people would be angry if i forgot about him. Like I said he was more the peaceful/weird/funny type. Very down to earth.
I just watched the second episode of Season 4 and I have something to say : I had a good reason for not including Spike! If I included him in the poll and I would have to put Buffy in there too! She has had her extremely funny lines too.
I can quote one here that nobody can beat:
Giles: You took your roommate patrolling along with you?? Buffy: Well, you know, I invited the whole dorm but she was the only one who could make it.
Every time I hear that line I laugh so hard.
Bottomline, every character has funny moments, but not all them can be considered "comic relief" on the show.

I don't think Buffy could be considered comic relief because I believe that comic relief are people who aren't main character's and they sort of lighten the mood when they're around, but I think at times every character has been funny. but in reality Spike was a funny character because he was blunt and didn't care for other's feelings. Which was very much what Anya's character did. I think the reason your thinking Spike wasn't comic relief was because his character's line didn't consist of just putting sarcasm into a conversation like anya or andrew did.

I guess to me Spike just wasn't one of those people who "lighten the mood when they're around", Season 4 being the exception maybe.

Spike never really had any funny moments, Kara. All he had was a few funny lines, and that was really it. To me, he seemed a bit pushy rather than funny.

Okay to say Spike never had any funny moments is ridiculous. He was in my opinion very funny. He may not have been comic relief but that was only because his lines didn't just consist of putting sarcasm into conversations randomly. He was in his own right a funny character just because that's who his character was. He was a funny guy.

I voted for Oz and Andrew. I think Oz kind of gets over looked in this type of roll. In "Earshot", when Buffy can read everyone's mind, Oz has a series of thoughts that show just how funny he can be. All of his interactions with Willow show how he can be funny, usually with a thoughtful observation. Andrew is funny to a lot of people because I think that a lot of people can relate to him. Come on, who hasn't thought about airbrushing the DeathStar on the side of their van. lol. Both of these characters are top notch in my book and so is their comic relief.

Obviously Spike was a funny character since I wasn't the first one to ask why isn't spike up there.
