Anya Jenkins is one of television’s most witty and underrated characters. Read more about that here!

Throughout her arc on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we saw Anya go from a powerful vengeance demon who wreaked havoc on the Scoobies, to losing her powers and adjusting to life as a regular human.

With that change, Anya needed to learn how to behave and react the way a human would. This led to several humorous moments where her bluntness and misunderstanding made perfect sense to viewers. In fact, she says things that no one else will say, because she has no shame in asking the hard-hitting questions.

Here are just a few of the wonderful moments when Anya said the very thing that we were all thinking, but none of us (or the other Scoobies) were brave enough to say:

“Can I trade in the children for more cash?”

The Game of Life IS hard. Sometimes it’s even harder than real life! What ARE you supposed to do with a carload of kids and far more money than you’ll ever earn in real life? We agree that it might be better to trade those pink and blue pegs for cash!

“But I don’t understand!”

One of Anya’s most poignant scenes on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was this moment, when she describes her frustration about Joyce’s death. How can someone be here one day, and gone the next? Joyce will never have fruit punch, or brush her hair, and Anya just wants to understand why. Over a decade later, we still don’t understand it either, Anya.

“Please, continue the story of failure.”

Don’t you hate listening to someone tell a story that you KNOW isn’t going to end well? Pull an Anya and get the storyteller to quickly get to the point! Others may thank you later!

“Enjoy my personal space.”

You know that feeling when all of the work is done, you’re snuggly in your pajamas, you’ve poured a big glass of wine and you’re all set for a night of solo Netflix and Chill…and then someone knocks on the door?
