Knowledge is the product of labour and, unlike much else in the shows, is not 'magical.' Knowledge results from work, from the research and collective experience of the characters. When Willow asks Giles, 'How is it you always know this stuff. You always know what's going on. I never know what's going on.' Giles responds, 'Well, you weren't here from midnight until six researching it.' (1.07)

Giles: A, a Slayer slays, a Watcher...
Buffy: Watches?
Giles: He, he trains her, he, he, he prepares her...
Buffy: Prepares me for what? For getting kicked out of school? For losing all of my friends? For having to spend all of my time fighting for my life and never getting to tell anyone because I might endanger them? Go ahead? Prepare me.
(Buffy exhales, turns and leaves the library in disgust.)

An episode may contain influences as far-reaching as bawdy Greek farce to brainy post-modern theatre in a steady flow of absurdity that switches from low-brow to high-brow at the drop of a stake. Take most any zinger from the show and it's not hard to connect the dots to a wide range of familiar material: the nonsensical stylings of Groucho Marx--Oz: 'That's great, Larry, you've really mastered the single entendre.'
