The pilot of the comedy Weeds, entitled ‘You Can’t Miss the Bear’, makes two possible Buffy references.
The first occurs in an exchange at a youth soccer game between teammates Deven and Shane after the latter drinks fruit punch, staining his lips red.
Deven: “Don’t even talk to me, weirdo.”
Shane: “Why? I was just trying to help.”
Deven: “I don’t need your help, lipstick.”
Shane: “Lipstick?”
Deven: “Your fruit punch lipstick. Fruit punch! It’s perfect. Fruit for the fruit. Or are you just pretending it’s blood? Because we all know how much you love the taste of blood. Is that it? Vampire!”
Shane: “Ok, I’m confused. Am I weirdo, lipstick, fruit punch, or vampire? You really need to pick an insulting nickname and stick to it.”
This may be a reference to 1.12 Prophecy Girl, in which Buffy informs the Master that he has “fruit punch mouth.”
The second reference occurs later in the episode after Shane and his older brother Silas discuss a television show called Bear Hunt with Silas‘ girlfriend Quinn.
Silas: “Think of the time this would save us on foreplay. You just whisper “shoot me in the optimum kill zone” and I’d be good to go.”
Quinn: “I could whisper linoleum and you’d be good to go.”
This may reference 2.14 Innocence, when Xander says to Cordelia:
“I’m seventeen. Looking at linoleum makes me wanna have sex.”
