I was disappointed that I couldn't find any of these clips online, so I thought I'd fix that. All rights owned by Disney and Fox. This is not my content. I do not claim to own it, etc.
@@evan_dood Skip was undoubtedly one of Angel's best guest characters alongside the fake Magev, Sahjhan, and Spanky. My favorite moment between Skip and Angel is at the end of their fight when Angel asks Skip is alright out of genuine concern, Skip nods and Angel reluctantly knocks him out with an apology, he really liked him!
Skip casually greeting Angel is a great example of what made Buffy/Angel so special, the way it could have fun and turn expectations on its head. The cheerleader kicks the monsters ass and the demon you go down into the pit to fight is a decent guy.
Completely agree, that's what I love about Whedon's writing. It can go from campy to deadly serious and back again without compromising anyone's character.
And now you cant get away from it. Nothing is allowed to actually be evil or sinister anymore. Nope, gotta undercut it with oh-so-clever quips and jokes in the name of "subverting expectations"
This is the one thing I loved about their world. The monsters, demons, and all manner of creepy crawlies could just sound like typical average humans, and just have very normal tame personalities. Like I could actually see Skip driving to work like everyone else. Getting flustered by traffic and minor inconveniences on his way to the "office".
Subverting expectations, in a good way, not the current Hollywood way. Ohh you expected this movie to be good? well we subverted your expectations by making it bad... so how do you feel about it, did you like it? Ehh, no, you made a bad movie remember?
I recognize David Denman from the 2017 Power Rangers movie where he played Jason’s dad, because he looks just like an older version of the original Jason, to the point where I thought he was Austin St. John in the trailers.
I'm glad it played out the way it did, because it seemed really easy for Angel to take skip out to the point it didn't make sense. Like, for being a guard he didn't fight very hard. But later we find out why that is.
I've heard complaints that everybody has adopted the cutesy Whedon dialogue since the end of Buffy and Angel. While that's true, I think this is genuinely good writing, direction and comedic timing. You need it since the budget only allows for one guy in a rubber suit and sfx for one burning man! So sure, people try to do Whedon dialogue a lot now; they just don't do it as well.
I actually always liked the actor (David Denman) who played Skip. He also played Roy from The Office. I saw him at a mall in LA once and he was just a regular, chill guy.
I watched The Office long before I watched Angel, so when I realized it was "Roy" under all that makeup it blew my mind a bit. Liked him on The Office but he's just great as Skip. He was also one of the leads on a short-lived sitcom called Traffic Light (with Liza Lapira from Dollhouse playing his wife). Watched a few episodes of that mainly because of the two of them but to be honest it wasn't that great.
ANGEL: "What, uh, keeps him in the fire?" SKIP: "My will." LOVE. That. Line. Also, I guess we should've know that Skip was a bad guy given his Hellraiser aesthetic. I mean, the face shoulder should have been enough of a clue :D
Loved the humor in Angel. One of my favorite running gag is when the group finally decipher a prophesy of a horrible event that will happen, or a monster will be release to discover it's happening now, or in the next couple of seconds/minutes - leaving no time to stop it.
This is such a feel good hilarious but subtle set up 🤣 it's so perfect lol. 2 beings who have so much experience and understanding of what's gotta happen while having seen most everything that they just.. casual hellos for a casual moment haha.
One of the things I love about that universe is how you can have a simple conversation with gods and demons. It doesn't have to be straight to mindless violence or tons of formality. As a wise man once said, "there's no reason we can't be civil."
If you haven't done so already, I think that sentiment would mean The Dresden Files are right up your alley. There are audiobooks available for at least the first few novels, as well, read by James Marsters himself, in fact. So...double-dose for ya, there.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 "Just because I am going to rip off your face, and then torture you for all eternity is no excuse for incivility - you're not dead......YET." *gets beat down* "oof, OK, see you in a decade or 2, champ."
I love skip he’s one of my favorite characters in angel wish we would have seen more of him maybe e em a cross over with him on Buffy would have been cool
It's supposed to be a frozen, empty desolation. The original idea is that it's the only place in the universe that is completely devoid of God's love and attention. It's literally a divine cold shoulder. It was believed that to be denied that love was the worst possible torture, a metaphysical agony beyond any mere emotional or biological pain or suffering. Never mind the fact that God was always a lying, stupid, abusive, narcissistic, rape-happy mass-murderer...but, ya know...God's love, anyway. . Eventually, like many versions of the "bad" afterlife, it got a bunch of "realms" or layers, or whatever...each uniquely tailored in its retribution to a particular subset of asshole behavior. . The whole "eternal burning" thing is a relatively modern construct. Still really old, but pretty recent in comparison to the age of the original stories.
I never knew that, thank you! Joss Whedon is definitely the kind of person to slip in a sneaky reference like that, too. He has his faults but he's a damn clever writer/director.
I just wish they kept Skip as a good guy. It showed the light does have a limit and will do what's necessary to win. If Skip couldn't stay a good guy, at least have someone who looks like a monster still work for the light. Besides Angel I mean.
I absolutely love the actor that plays skip he's played the loanshark demon that hinted after Doyle and he plays the frog demon in the gladiator episode.
Man it's been too long since I've watched Angel, for the life of me I can't remember who Spanky is. And searching for "Angel Spanky" on Google is not helping lol
There sits today in rulership of this fallen world order one who has grown ancient in evil, cunning in subtlety, and cruel in deceit. He waged the first war of the universe in the distant planet called heaven, and subsequently brought conflict to this little world we call earth as it spins on the outer edges of the milky-way galaxy. He filled all heaven with discord and the earth with death, and both with great sorrow. He deceptively challenged every transparent purpose of the Creator, and even coveted the throne of the Eternal, planning to either assume rule of the universe or if not, then to plunge it into chaos and ruin. . This menacing figure who has hijacked our planet well explains the presence of every conflict that disturbs our world today, every pestilence that afflicts humanity, every sorrow and pain and death that tortures the children of earth. Lucifer, the former covering cherub and one-time honorable prime minister of the angelic intelligences in Heaven, has become Satan, the great adversary of our smitten world. This powerful angel heads a vast army of unseen intelligences, the hosts of darkness who oppose in this world, every beneficent purpose of our Creator the Almighty God of the universe. He especially hates the Holy One who in great condescension assumed our human nature that He might by divine power destroy the works of Satan, conquer evil and lift the terrible sentence of eternal death from our fallen race. . To speak of a throne of evil controlling this world system is no mere figure of speech, it is a grim reality. And the occupant of that throne is no figment of anyone's imagination. Jesus Christ ascribes to him the title of "prince of this world." John 14: 30. The famed Christian apostle Paul describes him as "the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience." Eph. 2: 2. Paul also warns us that "we do not wrestle against flesh and blood , but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness..." Eph 6:12 John the Revelator describes this foe as "the great dragon," "that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan who deceives the whole world." Rev. 12:9. . When the leader of revolt against the Eternal Creator was expelled from heaven, expelled along with him were many other angel intelligences who had yielded to his cunning sophistries and had joined in his unworthy rebellion. This world is today their singular abode. This is because that tremendous event, which rid heaven of the fallen hosts, was followed by the tragic fall of our first parents under Satan's lies. This historic fall let loose legions of fallen angels to bend all of their efforts and genius over many thousands of years in the work of spoiling, corrupting and ruining the once noble human family, originally created to be the crown of God's handiwork. A key element of the strategy to ruin humanity has been to lead man to blight and degrade the fair earth that was intended to be our perfect and eternal home. . The apostle Peter warns us "Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 Finally, the inspired revelator says " Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time." - Revelation 12:12 KJV See th-cam.com/video/Ird-BKuPRlw/w-d-xo.html
Honestly I don't remember if we ever got a real explanation of who he was or what he did... but everyone talked about him like he was very high on the list of very bad people.
If I'm not mistaken, he was the guy who's mere presence would make other men hate and beat on women; basically his mutant power was elevating the toxic masculinity around him to a lethal degree. His presence, OR if you got his blood on you. He's the reason that Gavin (Daniel Day Kim) beat up on Lyla in one ep, and why Wes & Charles tried to murder Fred in another episode, which led to Wes feeling so bad he stopped interacting with her for a while.
Skip has some of the most hilarious lines in the series.
"Do you live here?"
" no, i commute"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Not too bad, about 20 minutes."
Skip has the best introduction of any character, Ever.
That was so funny!
He has such a calming voice I feel relaxed around him. Could probably talk me into been tortured. Just a lil bit 🤏
"You live in here, Skip?"
"No, I commute. Not too bad, about twenty minutes"

Death from supernatural
A shame they had to go turn him into a villain, he was one of the more 'normal' demons, just a job for him he seemingly led a normal life.
I was bummed out when I found out he was a villain. I was still confused by all that.
Depends if we see the big bad in question as "evil"
clem was also very normal, apart from eating cats

Nah, Skip probably takes public transport.
Tv shows really went the opposite way. Less complicated costumes and just an all black suit lol
His voice is so unexpected. No deep voice, no raspiness, nothing. Hilarious if you ask me.

True!
Never knew Skip was Roy from The Office

What omg how did I not notice that 😂😂
Omg, I was trying to figure out where I recognized his voice from.

i like the "i mean, there's only so many of the, oh my god pain please make it stop, you can listen to" line great introduction for his character
What a thoroughly decent chap and good to know, it’s only a 20 min commute to hell.

Admittedly, demons fulfill a specific task by keeping evil souls locked up, so not all of them are going to be "balls to the walls" evil.
I was REALLY disappointed when it turned out Skip was evil. I don't mean just 'I'm a demon and I'm doing my job' evil, I mean REAL evil.
I loved Skip on the show and wished that he had been made a series regular.
I commute. Not too far from here only 20 minutes.
that I commute line always kills me
imagine skip taking a demon bus to work every day 😀
This is such a feel good hilarious but subtle set up 🤣 it's so perfect lol.

I've seen MOST of Angel TV episodes when it came out but somehow never saw this gem of a character!
Skip is such a gentleman at first then he starts to fight lol
That punch would've caught anybody off guard, if we're being honest
insane how such old shows had such better visuals than modern shows.
"No, I commute."
Betcha a buck he drives a pick-up.
Thanks so much for posting this! Skip was one of my favorite characters.

Wish skip didnt turn evil
Never seen the show but this skip guy seems pretty cool

So weird I just thought about this scene two days ago and how I missed the series.
Skip makes being a Demon pretty cool 😎
Even if they could not bring this show back for live-action, I would be fine if they came out with an animated version or an anime!
There's a rumor that it's being rebooted... but also there are comics that pick up where the show left off!
It would be more successful as an anime. I guarantee it. You can make it like Xmen.
I can't believe I never knew Skip was Roy from The Office 😂
A very charming villain.
Skip is a lefty
normally I'm more of a righty fan but skip is super cool
Damn it Skip focus up! Things are serious, sorta.
Never watched this show before. But I like this guy
I love 9 to 5 Skip!
The left handed hand shake is a dead give away. It implies duplicity; in latin "left" is sinister. A left handed handshake is an insult.

“we are very high-end institution”

I can't believe Josh Weddon turned out to be such a bad person with people, a real shame.

First scene was plot for an epiccc D&D game I played
Peak 90's tv
I absolutely love the actor that plays skip he's played the loanshark demon that hinted after Doyle and he plays the frog demon in the gladiator episode.
A small but important detail: Skip shakes without his left hand
This doesn't even include his appearance in season 4 which was also great 😂
DC needs to hire this comedy villain who technically is a good guy for getting rid of bad guys yet still evil
I swear Skip should've had a spinoff with Sahjhan, Spanky, and the fake Tish M'gev.
Man it's been too long since I've watched Angel, for the life of me I can't remember who Spanky is. And searching for "Angel Spanky" on Google is not helping lol
That one creature to the right of Angel in the thumbnail almost looks like the Terminator
Skip 😍 neutral legal.

It's so sad what happen to Cordelia. Skip tricked and stole her body.
Skips very dangerous....cause everybody went of the deep in
It's been so long, who's in the fire again?
What's the name of the series
"Angel", it's available on both Hulu and Amazon Prime! It's a spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer but personally I like Angel more
is that Masterchief Hayes?
Skip didn’t get the memo
I wish skip would stay a good guy.
This fight reminds me of slade vs the gate guard! 😂
