In 5.01 Buffy Vs Dracula, Giles falls into Dracula’s basement, where he is surrounded by the sisters. After he falls he says, “Good show, Giles. At least you didn’t get knocked out for a change.” In 4.12 A New Man, Giles says he has a “tendency to get knocked on the head”. He’s not kidding. Giles has been knocked unconscious in the episodes:
- 1.03 The Witch (by vampires who want to raise the Master again)
- 1.05 Never Kill A Boy On The First Date (by Andrew Borba in the crematorium)
- 1.12 Prophecy Girl (by Buffy, to stop him from trying to help her)
- 2.01 When She Was Bad (by the vampires attempting to raise the Master)
- 2.17 Passion (by Angelus, after Giles attacks him for killing Jenny)
- 2.21 Becoming (Part One) (by a group of vampires who take him to Angelus)
- 3.04 Beauty And The Beasts (shot with a tranquillizer gun)
- 3.05 Homecoming (by Lyle Gorch and Candy).
- 3.07 Revelations (by Gwendolyn Post, in his office)
- 3.11 Gingerbread (by the MOO mob as they come to take Buffy away. When Cordy wakes him up she says, “I came over here to tell Buffy to stop this craziness and found you all unconscious… again. How many times have you been knocked out, anyway? I swear, one of these times, you’re going to wake up in a coma.”)
- 3.18 Earshot (he doesn’t get knocked out in this episode - but he does walk into a tree in a very amusing manner)
- 6.04 Flooded (by the Mfashnik demon as it breaks ino Buffy’s house. Giles later says, “Well, I know I’m back in America now. I’ve been knocked unconscious”).

Wouldn’t the episode When She Was Bad count? I’m sure he was unconscience when he was abducted and hung upside down.

He is also knocked unconscience in The Witch (When he tries to help stop Amy’s mom after he did the spell to cure Buffy), and he didn’t get knocked unconscience but he was put unconscience in Beauty and the Beast (I think that is the episode) when he gets shot with the tranqulizer gun.

Sorry - Beauty and the Beasts

Ironically, Cordiela was the one to wake up in a coma.

How do you wake up in a coma? and which episode are you talking about.
Saintsaucey on August 21st, 2005 at 5:38 am
you can’t technically wake up in a coma though cordelia appeared to angel while still in a coma in the angel season five epsiode thank you

Actually its the season 5 episode, you’re welcome. (i am a pedantic bugger)

The amount of times Giles gets knocked unconscience is almost as high as how many time Angel gets shot throughout BtVS and ATS!

He gets knocked out in season 1 ep The Pack by a Duke Blue Devils fan I think.

I was just going to add the bit about “The Pack”. That zoo guy knocks him out. Blue Devils indeed.

Oh god, it is so funny… I think I saw a music video with Giles “knocked-outs”… The music was Chumbawamba’s Tumbhumpting! :D :D :D (sorry for the spelling above)
Oh and THIS is soooo funny:
“Ironically, Cordelia was the one to wake up in a coma.” :)
