In 6.01 Bargaining (Part One), the Buffybot says a bizarre selection of words, to which Spike says:
“What’s with the Dadaism, Red?”
In 4.01 The Freshman, Buffy says to Xander:
“Thanks for the Dadaist pep talk, I feel much more abstract now.”
Dadaism was the nihilistic artistic movement in the early twentieth century. The movement was based on irrationality, anarchy, cynicism and the rejection of laws of beauty. It was based mainly in France, Switzerland and Germany as a protest over World War I, but it was also in America, where it occurred mainly in New York at Alfred Stieglitz’s gallery ‘291′. After 1922, many Dadaists abandoned the movement as they turned to surrealism.
