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.

Ivan Jelisic is right but he's being too good on this episode... It is not just boring and that its plot is reduced to revenge ain't the worth...
Willow, Buffy and Xander speaking 'bout relationships is a look at an -censored-hole's -censored-brain concept of what makes up a relationship.
Buffy's fixation on a one night stand betrays her strong persona that copes with bigger deals.
The way Xander is intimidated by implying that simple words are hard to understand because they are long makes Xander even more the fool.
Why the hell Xander showed a no-smoking sign to the only girl that seemed interested? The fact that the show offs were meant to be intelligent by saying nonsense is another give away...
Not to forget the lame version of cavemen that they all make... They are lame feigning intelligence, the are lame feigning wildness...
Bottomline? This episode alone makes the whole series seem garbage... Nonetheless Tracey Forbes is responsible for few episodes in the series so one could think again... Bu I do wonder... What kind of hole grows in her brain and suck all bits of intelligence? Sad thing that I couldn't rate this episode with 0 stars if I wanted to rate it... The worst thing I've seen in TV fiction.
