I have seen Angel dance.

How on Earth am I to take the Scourge of Europe seriously now?

Have you seen him singing Mandy? That was the moment when I realised Angel had won himself a place in my heart forever, in spite of my earlier antipathy to him.

I've only really seen S5 and a few episodes of S4, so no, I've only read about the "Mandy" scene.

I think one of my major issues with Angel on BtVS is that he always seemed to take himself so seriously, which I found endlessly irritating. Seeing him in comedy vids puts him in rather a different light.

I can't afford any DVDs this week, but next week I'll go and pick some up. I may have been missing something after all.

I found all the vids you mentioned. "Sorry" and "Coin-Operated Boy" are highly amusing.

I haven't seen the episode with Mandy in it, but I downloaded just that segment and watched it repeatedly - Angel really got up my nose on Buffy, because, as you say, he took himself so seriously (it didn't help that DB's acting was pretty dreadful back then). It was a lovely surprise to find that he was allowed to make a fool of himself on AtS, not to mention that he's actually really good at comedy.

I love "Sorry". CoB is more of a one-off, but "Sorry" I rewatch every now and again.

Warning: Angel spends an awful lot of his time on ATS *still* taking himself too seriously. But the rest of the gang mocks him for it, so that's alright.

Bugger.

Better. I like him much more when he has a sense of humour.
