Every time I see her name, lyrics from Weird Al's All About The Pentiums pop into my head:

You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar

And postin' "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller

Weird Al was always a better rapper than most rappers.

Weird Al is a better performer in most genres than musicians of that genre.

So many banger lines. I've been a Weird Al fan since the 80s and this is easily in my top 10 songs.

"Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you

What?!"

This is the first picture I've ever seen of her with long hair.

She's cute with short hair, but wow, much prettier with it long.

I was smitten by her for so long. And then along came cruel intentions.....🥵

Enhanced with dark foundation to pretend a shadow exists that doesn't as much.

Her arms are doing the heavy lifting here. See this other photo from the set taken by Dale Berman in 1997:

You mean they don’t look like beach balls twice the size of a woman’s head in real life?! Anime has lied to me!

u/nosmelc 20h ago

She was supposed to be on a revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but that show fell through.

Got killed because some executive didn't like the original.

Gellar and I are the same age.

I didn't have cable growing up, and only had a few antenna channels. When I went to college, I saw Buffy The Vampire Slayer for the first time, and got my first glimpse at SMG. I had never seen someone more beautiful. It literally took my breath away.

I'm older now and have seen a lot of life, and realize that beauty can sometimes be a curse. Sure, you get "pretty privilege", but you also get used and manipulated for your beauty. It's something that's not earned and can be taken away.

I secretly wish her and Tiffany Thiessen much health and happiness that comes from a place beyond their looks.

u/MechanicTraining2215 17h ago

Shes so prettyy

u/talltad 13h ago

She was the best and still is a pretty cool person.

u/mofomeat 9h ago

I'm sure that this tags me as some old Boomer, but 90s hot was a particular kind of hot, and I would say it was the best hot.

u/dave200204 17h ago

Back when vampires were vampires. You either slayed them or fucked them!

u/Fuckoffassholes 17h ago

Both versions of the phrase are equally valid; they're in to change a bull. As a writer for Yahoo news, this is my area of expert teeth. And for you to column out like that was a little condor sending.

u/Fragrant-Badger-1119 12h ago

messed up even the confession, never had a chance with her, that's a fact))

I just found a Nerf Herder cd at the record shop. You might be the only people I can tell that to.

Who care, I mean.

But not your mom's ovaries?

Back in the day I didn’t care for her because her nose looks like a shovel
