I find Angel 1.3, In The Dark, incredibly amusing for the following soliloquy from Spike, who is watching Angel do good:
Spike in high voice: “How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad hunk of a night thing?
“(low voice) No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I’m just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. (Rachel steps closer to Angel, and Angel steps back warding her off with his hands) No, not the hair! Never the hair!
“(high voice) But there must be some way I can show my appreciation.
“(low voice) No, helping those in need’s my job, – and working up a load of sexual tension, and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough!
“(high voice) I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so…
“(low voice) Say no more. Evil’s still afoot! And I’m almost out of that Nancy-boy hair-gel that I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!”

[grin] Oh yes – I love Spike’s soliloquies. He does a similar sort of thing at the beginning of Buffy season 4, if I remember correctly.
That moment was actually my introduction to the entire Buffyverse when I caught it randomly on television at my grandmother’s house. Now I didn’t actually end up following the show for a few years later but that moment did stick in my head right from the start.
