Stand By Your Man is a comedic Buffy fanvid vid by Katharine Scarritt. It premiered at the 2001 Escapade vid show and was later selected for the 2003 Vividcon Comedic Vid show.

Vidder's Summary: ""The women of Buffy tell it like it is."

In the Media Cannibals Songtape #5 booklet Katharine wrote: "I get vid ideas in several ways. Sometimes I have a visual idea and go looking for a song, and occasionally I hear a song and have an immediate flash of a vid for it. This was a moment of purely demented inspiration—scary how well it all fits, ne c'est pas? The song has been covered by several other country singers, including Tammy Wynette, but Patsy Cline was the original for me, and still the best"

Reactions/Reviews

[Shoshanna, 2001]: a hilarious send-up of romantic cliches. As I said in the vid review (I think), it had a great beginning, that assured the viewer that her trust would be rewarded; well-timed and well-chosen clips throughout, and laugh-out-loud funny.
