Flutie buffy

Principal Robert "Bob" Flutie, played by Ken Lerner, is a character in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Flutie is the principal of Sunnydale High School in the first half of Season One. Introduced in the series opener "Welcome to the Hellmouth", Principal Flutie is eaten alive by possessed students soon afterward ("The Pack"). Unlike his successor Principal Snyder, Flutie is dedicated to helping students and is concerned with their self-esteem and socialization. Snyder later quips, "That's the kind of woolly-headed liberal thinking that leads to being eaten." (Ironically, Snyder suffers a similar fate two years later.)

Flutie is mentioned again in the Season Seven episode "Beneath You"; when Principal Wood jokes about the students eating the staff alive, Buffy Summers asks "You heard about Principal Flutie, right?"
