Good Omens is a 1990 novel about the apocalypse co-written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, in which The Antichrist is accidentally Switched at Birth and given to a normal family, where he grows up free from any influence of Heaven and Hell and becomes a completely normal and average child. Well, normal aside from the fact that he's subconsciously using his powers to make sure his small, quaint hometown stays small and quaint...The mix-up causes plans for Armageddon to spin wildly out of control, as agents of both Heaven and Hell try to find out just why things aren't going as planned. Two of those agents, an angel (Aziraphale) and a demon (Crowley), who've come to realize that they have more in common with each other than with their superiors, are trying to find the Antichrist and put a stop to The End of the World as We Know It because they decided they like humanity. Also in the mix are the last witch-finder in England (and his new assistant), and a modern-day witch who is the heir to a book of oddly specific but still conveniently obscure prophecies.A four part mini-series adapting it was apparently in the works, by Terry Pratchett's own production company, with Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame) and Gavin Scott writing the scripts, though nothing seems to have come of it. BBC Radio 4 aired a six-part mini series adaptation of the book in December 2014, created by the same production team who did the celebrated adaption of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.Amazon and the BBC greenlit a miniseries, which was written by Gaiman (with Pratchett's blessing). David Tennant plays Crowley, while the role of Aziraphale is filled by Michael Sheen. The full production began in September 2017, and the series was released on May 31, 2019, on Amazon Prime. Playing other roles are Anna Maxwell-Martin (Beelzebub), Michael McKean (Sgt. Shadwell), Miranda Richardson (Madame Tracy), and Jon Hamm (Archangel Gabriel).Pratchett and Gaiman considered working on a sequel, and discussed the likely plot, but aside from a potential title (668: The Neighbour of the Beast) nothing was ever publicly confirmed. After Pratchett's death, it seemed that the sequel would never be created, but Gaiman has confirmed that its plot is the basis of the planned third season of the BBC/Amazon miniseries. Gaiman has also said that it may still be released as a book if the show is not renewed for that season.Some useful annotations for the inquiring (or nonplussed) reader can be found here.

comment
Man of Wealth and Taste: Dr. Raven Sable, one of the Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse, has found a way to get people to pay him to afflict them. He's a wealthy jetsetter who wears tailored suits and offers literary quotations at appropriate moments. Crowley tries to be, but doesn't always get it quite right (which suits the fact that he tries to be evil but doesn't always get it quite right). For instance, he drives a vintage Bentley — with fake bullethole stickers on the windscreen that he got from a James Bond promotional giveaway.

Card-Carrying Villain: Crowley is an anti-heroic example... ish. He's a self-proclaimed bastard who tries to avoid doing the right thing as much as possible, but he doesn't seem to think of himself as truly evil. The narrator states that he'd be the first to tell you that most demons aren't deep down evil, and Crowley doesn't argue when Aziraphale states that he always knew there was good in Crowley. There's no ambiguity with Beelzebub, Hastur, or Ligur, though. They're evil to the core and they know it. This is presumably also true of Satan.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Young family's telephone number: Tadfield six double-six. Two very powerful sides, each of whom have agents trying to get other nations to act according to their principles, have an increasingly fragile detente, which will kill millions of people and cause utter destruction if broken. Which Cold War is this, again? (Heck, it's even noted that an MI5 and a KGB agent have their meetings in some of the exact same places Aziraphale and Crowley do, and are also bickering Friendly Enemies.)

 Good Omens / int_19aa50f3

Torment by Annoyance: When Beryl of Krakow was to be forcibly married to Duke Casimir, God answered her prayer by blessing her with a Motor Mouth. She would eventually become so annoying that the Duke strangled her to death on their wedding night, allowing her to die with her virginity in-tact. Alternate tellings of the story claim that they lived long lives as a married couple after the Duke got earplugs. She would eventually be recognized as a martyr and saint and an order of nuns that would emulate her - the Chattering Order of St. Beryl - was founded. Unfortunately, the order would eventually be thoroughly infiltrated by Satanists and used to help induct The Antichrist into the world. Or, at least, that was the idea...

comment
The Ghost: Neither God nor Satan ever actually appears. The most we get is Metatron and Beelzebub, who claim to speak for God and Satan, respectively, but it's heavily implied that Metatron is misinformed, and it's also possible that Beelzebub is lying. Crowley and Aziraphale speculate at the end of the novel that the events may have actually gone exactly according to God's plan, but there's never any definitive proof.

Punch-Clock Villain
 Good Omens / int_20860a0e
comment
Punch-Clock Villain: Crowley, as a demon, sort of. He does seem to take joy in causing misery to people, but not beyond causing small amounts of annoyance. All the truly evil things he's done were part of the job. It's implied that this is typical of demons, though Hastur and Ligur are notable exceptions. Interestingly, his counterpart Aziraphale is a Punch Clock Angel — not exactly a hero, but has the job of inspiring small amounts of goodness in the same way that Crowley causes small amounts of evil. They even take turns doing each other's jobs once in a while and mostly try to thwart each other on a one-to-one basis so neither side really gets the upper hand. However, though he takes a lot longer than Crowley to realize it, Aziraphale is actually a Punch Clock Villain as well; both his and Crowley's jobs require planning to bring about The End of the World as We Know It. Or at least that's what they think for most of the novel. In the epilogue, he and Crowley both speculate that it's possible that they'd been meant to help avert the Apocalypse the whole time. It's never proved one way or the other, though - as they conclude (with the assistance of Death, who overhears their conversation whilst discreetly feeding the ducks), the thing about ineffable plans is that they're, well, ineffable. The narrative quote under Screw Destiny below - from very early in the novel, mind you - suggests that their conclusions, at least about ineffability, are correct.

Haute Cuisine Is Weird: Nouvelle cuisine is artistically impeccable and totally lacking in nutritional value. It was invented by Famine, who loves the idea of very rich people spending a lot of money to go hungry. A deleted scene in the TV series would have given this a Setting Update with molecular gastronomy.

Chekhov's Gag: In the prologue, Aziraphale is one of the angels with flaming swords stationed at the gates of the Garden of Eden to prevent Adam and Eve getting back in, and he gives his flaming sword to Adam and Eve to keep warm because he feels sorry for them. During the final confrontation, it comes out that the red sword which is War's Iconic Item is that same sword, and Aziraphale reclaims it after War is defeated. That Crowley arranged the M25 to be a demonic sigil. It seems like a throwaway gag at first, but it comes back in a big way.

Post-Apocalyptic Traffic Jam: One of these starts to form on the M25 London orbital motorway thanks to Crowley reshaping it into an infernal glyph meaning "all hail the great beast, devourer of worlds."

comment
Anticlimax: After following them intermittently throughout the book, the role of the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse turns out to be little more than sneaking into a military base and hacking some computers to kick-start World War III. Several of them comment on how this feels like a letdown after thousands of years of waiting. Just when it looks like the Apocalypse has been averted, a mighty rumble from underground signals that Crowley's boss isn't going to let this go easily. Crowley and Aziraphale arm themselves for the final battle, exchange speeches, change into their true forms, and the human characters decide to join them in the upcoming fight... then Adam waves his hand and suddenly there's no battle to be fought. Everything's back to normal now and the characters can get on with their lives! There's a certain Double Entendre in this sequence, where the characters believe they're about to fight Adam's biological father (Satan), but Adam changes it so that his adoptive father (Mr. Young) arrives instead.

Anachronism Stew
 Good Omens / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: The novel's archaic passages occasionally derive humour from combining modern idioms with generally accurate Early Modern English dialect. The usage of "forget my own head next" in a passage that otherwise could have come straight out of the King James Bible: Shakespeare's three "lost plays": The Comedie of Robin Hoode, or The Forest of Sherwoode, The Trapping of the Mouse, and Golde Diggers of 1589. (Two of these are actually references to specific theatrical or cinematic productions; the second is a reference to Agatha Christie's The Mousetrapnote Although weirdly, that was itself named after a joking title Prince Hamlet gives to The Murder of Gonzago., while Golde Diggers is a reference to a series of similarly named movie musicals from 1933, 1935, and 1937. However, it is unlikely any attested usages of the idiom exist from as early as Shakespeare's day.) Any of Agnes' prophecies concerning modern technology: "Do Notte Buye Betamacks."

Strangely Specific Horoscope: The local newspaper serving Tadfield has a surprisingly specific horoscope for Libra, on the day the Antichrist is born.

Which makes the Earth a Libra...

Even Evil Has Standards: Crowley, having already crossed the demonic line by using holy water on Ligur, considers putting the tape in which Hastur is trapped into his car until it turns into a Queen album, then decides it would be too cruel. It's a recurring theme in the book that humans on their own are capable of far greater evil (and good) than demons (or angels) could ever imagine. Or, in Crowley's case, stomach.

Forgotten Trope: Newt's wretched Wasabi automobile is a borderline example of the forgotten "Japanese Technology is Shoddy" trope, which had already pretty much died out when the book was written. The evolution of the trope is lampshaded: the narration points out that if the Japanese used to be "fiendish automatons who copied everything from the West", and had now become "skilled and cunning engineers who would leave the West standing", there must have been a period of transition during which they were creating "innovative disasters the avoidance of which had made firms like Honda and Toyota what they are today" — and it was during that period of transition that the Wasabi was designed.

Boring, but Practical: Crowley uses magic to maintain his car in perfect condition far longer than would normally be expected; Mr. Young achieves the same effect by just following the suggested maintenance schedule. It's noted that he's pretty much the only person to ever do so who wasn't involved in writing them. Because she's a witch, and therefore sensible, Anathema doesn't rely on things like charms and spells to protect her when she goes out alone at night. Instead she carries a foot-long bread knife in her belt.

The Chain of Harm: Crowley takes full advantage of it to maximize his efforts in making human lives miserable: he calls it "thinking wide", such as tying up all the phone lines in Central London for less than an hour, which caused the people inconvenienced to trigger expanding waves of bad temper and abuse. Other, more traditional demons can't see the point in this, which is why they consider Crowley a free-loading slacker.

Namesake Gag: Anathema Device is descended from the man who invented the device.

(Device really is a Lancashire name (see below) but seems to be properly pronounced 'DEH-viss', so probably just a regional version of Davis. However, pronunciations of English names can change as families move around the country...)

Unfortunately for him, Aziraphale decides to set the record straight, explaining that Heaven honestly doesn't care what happens to anyone and scolds the man for thinking the idea of sneering down at all the people who supposedly won't be saved is justifiable.

Crowley and Aziraphale are both changed somewhat by their time on Earth. Crowley's fellow demon Hastur notes this and claims that Crowley is Going Native.

Crowley is an anti-heroic example... ish. He's a self-proclaimed bastard who tries to avoid doing the right thing as much as possible, but he doesn't seem to think of himself as truly evil. The narrator states that he'd be the first to tell you that most demons aren't deep down evil, and Crowley doesn't argue when Aziraphale states that he always knew there was good in Crowley.

Funetik Aksent: Parodied with Shadwell, whose accent is described as a random, shifting mixture of accents from all over Britain. Likely meant to be a Take That! to American portrayals of British accents that unwittingly mix regional dialects, or maybe in fact a direct tribute to a single famous British television character — Alf Garnett, played by actor Warren Mitchell in the sitcoms Till Death Do Us Part and In Sickness and In Health. Anyone familiar with the character's physical description, "roaming accent", and personality (he is a comical bigot) will recognize him instantly if they were born and raised in England in the 1970s or 1980s. (However, Alf's accent was fairly firmly in Sarf London, the one area Shadwell never goes near. Make of that what you will.)

True Name: Crowley is made to sign his true name, in receipt of one Antichrist. The Horsepersons are also made to sign their true names in receipt of their weapons. Pollution's pen leaks while signing his, blotting it to the point that it might read "Pollution" or possibly "Pestilence." This is a reference to an earlier statement that, with the rise of sewers, medicine, and antibiotics, Pestilence hasn't had much work lately. Pollution, on the other hand... Possibly also God.

Colourful Theme Naming: Three of the Bikers of the Apocalypse have names that reference the colors of the horses that, according to biblical texts, they ride out on. War takes such names as Scarlett or Carmine, and even the last name Zuigiber (latin for ginger, well nearly; technically that would be Zingiber). Pollution goes by "White, or Blanc, or Albus, or Chalky, or Weiss, or Snowy", among others. Famine calls himself Dr. Raven Sable.

The Alleged Computer: Newton Pulsifer has a singular knack for machinery, which is the knack of failing absolutely to make them do what he wants them to do. And he always buys the worst. His computers somehow always manage to be the early model with the hopelessly flawed chipset or the bug-ridden OS and the like. And don't ask about his car. Notably, this becomes his Chekhov's Skill… well, lack of skill.

Mirroring Factions: This is explicitly the relationship between Hell and Heaven, down to ostracizing Crowley and Aziraphale in the same ways for the same reason, wanting Armageddon to occur simply because it's "supposed" to, and even to their human followers down on Earth.

Agnes's descendants, thanks to the book she left behind, have at least a vague idea of what's coming. Whoever wrote the book of Maritime Radio Signals included one for reporting the return of Atlantis (and its High Priest winning a quoits contest).

Book Ends: The last line of the book, "there never was an apple, Adam thought, that wasn't worth the trouble you got in for eating it", is a callback to the opening chapter, which is about Crowley arguing to Aziraphale that he didn't do anything wrong by making Adam and Eve eat the apple because the benefits of giving humans knowledge of good and evil outweigh the consequences of bringing God's wrath upon them. Also, the "Saturday" segment which makes up almost half of the book opens with the International Express man making a delivery and dying; it closes with him collecting all the things he'd delivered earlier in the book after an Unexplained Recovery.

Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe
 Good Omens / int_55ec42d7
comment
Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: Agnes Nutter, Nife and Accurate. Lampshaded to the point of parody when applied to every medieval character's casual dialogue. The passage quoted from the Buggre Alle This Bible. Anathema's spelling is mentioned as being 300 years too late, because she learned to read and write from The Book. On the whole, the "Butcherede" part is somewhat downplayed, as an awful lot of the usage in Good Omens matches actual Early Modern English usage, but it's still not completely accurate. The replacement of s at the beginning or in the middle of words with f rather than ſ may have been done for technical reasons (it's possible the font or computer system used didn't possess ſ), but it's not always done consistently with the novel's purported Early Modern English text, and ſ was rarely used twice in a row (so it would have been Manaſseh or even Manaßeh, not Manaſſeh), nor was it typically used at the ends of words (e.g., this would usually not have been written as thiſ - though then again, this is part of a "lengthy compositor's error, if such it may be called" by a character who makes a few other spelling and grammar errors, so this deviation from typical usage may have been intentional on the authors' part). However, the novel's usage is still more accurate than is typical. The archaic spelling is definitely a case of Truth in Television, as English spelling was not standardised for quite some time, and many words were commonly spelt with silent e's that have since been dropped. The efforts of Samuel Johnson, from about 1755, and Noah Webster (he of the eponymous dictionary), from about 1805, are usually credited with codifying Modern English spelling, so the novel's description of Anathema's spelling as "300 years too late" is also quite accurate. The authors also use archaisms like "thee", "spake", and "shewn" correctly.

Mistaken for Gay
 Good Omens / int_561dab6b
comment
Mistaken for Gay: Several minor characters throw gay slurs at Aziraphale. Also, Aziraphale and Crowley were mistaken for a couple by Anathema Device. Shadwell privately refers to Aziraphale as "the southern pansy". It doesn't help that Aziraphale calls Crowley "dear", "my dear", and "dear boy" on a regular basis, whereas Crowley sometimes refers to him as "angel" — literally true, but suggestive of a close relationship. One of the three first impressions of Aziraphale is "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide." It's wrong, because angels don't have sex, sexes or sexual orientations, but the implication remains. When Mr Tyler sees Sister Mary Loquacious and another nun winking at each other, his immediate thought is that Ken Russell knew what he was talking about.

Achievements in Ignorance: Adam pulls this off by combining godlike powers with a child's view of the world. For example, he doesn't like nuclear power, so he makes the local nuclear reactor go away. But since he never considered the implications of the core of a power plant suddenly disappearing, they don't happen, and as a result the plant is still generating power even though there is no reactor.

Acquired Error at the Printer: Aziraphale collects misprinted Bibles, including the most famous one, the "Wicked Bible" or "Adulterer's Bible" from the 17th century that accidentally contained the commandment "Thou shalt commit adultery." While the Charing Cross Bible and Bugger-Alle-Thys Bible are invented, every other misprint mentioned in the novel, like the Standing Fishes Bible, is a real misprint. Meta: In some editions, when Famine signs his name, it is seven letters. Both Neil and PTerry insist it was six in the draughts and the proofs.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: A minor example with the police responding to the overturned lorry of fish. One of them has a minor panic attack on discovering that the load also includes lobsters.

One of the Boys: Adam's gang consists of three boys and Pepper, who earned her place on the first day of school when she beat all three of them up after they laughed at her real name. They're young enough that romantic considerations aren't an issue yet, although the narration notes that the boys are beginning to be vaguely aware of the possibility.

comment
Spanner in the Works: Sister Mary Loquacious, an incompetent cultist and a satanic nun of the Chattering Order of Saint Beryl. More broadly, Aziraphale and Crowley may qualify as examples for their respective sides, and Adam may qualify more broadly for the planned Apocalypse as a whole. However, as Aziraphale and Crowley reflect later (with cameo assistance from Death) it's also possible that this was the ineffable plan all along.

Pragmatic Adaptation: In the book, Hell sends messages to Crowley using the voice of whomever he happens to be listening to on the radio or watching on TV, including Freddie Mercury, Kylie Minogue, and Woody from Cheers. In the adaptation, various real-life BBC personalities contribute their voices. In the book, Red's introduction scene is an elaborate example, with a large cast, of the fact that wherever she goes war breaks out sooner or later. In the adaptation, this is replaced by a scene where she attends a war correspondents' dinner and turns it into a Bar Brawl with a few well-chosen words.

Names to Run Away from Really Fast
 Good Omens / int_60fa92ac
comment
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Parodied and invoked. Sister Mary tries and fails to convince the adoptive father to name the misplaced Antichrist Wormwood, Damien, Errol, Cary, Saul, Cain, and a large number of demons and Hollywood villains, before settling on... Adam. A more persuasive nun convinces the ambassador to name the wrong Antichrist "Warlock". Prior to getting his actual name, Adam is referred to as Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness. Every time. There's also Dagon and Beelzebub (Lord of the Flies), whom Crowley contacts when he needs to talk to his supervisors. Subverted with the Hell's Angels. After joining the Horsepersons, they attempt to give themselves proper apocalyptic names. This quickly degenerates into a laundry list of petty annoyances. Both 'Nutter' and 'Device' are names of real families who were persecuted under the early 17th century witch hunts (though their situation seems rather different to the one described in the book). The case of the Device family is particularly tragic and disturbing (though Anathema's existence suggests that little Jennet must have had children of her own in this 'verse...) Alice Nutter, a yeoman's daughter caught up in the same place, was probably guilty simply of being Catholic; their story is told in a book called "The Wonderful Discovery of Witches in Lancashire".

Death Glare: When it's deployed by Crowley reality tends to realign accordingly. To Dog's chagrin (and initial confusion), his standard issue, weapons-grade hellhound stare of doom and death... stops being anywhere as effective after, you know, he's been shrunk and mongellified. He gets over it.

Children Are Tender-Hearted: Adam, despite being a bossy kid with a mischievous streak a mile wide, is noted to be "a soft touch for tears," and first meets Anathema when he hears her crying and goes to see what's the matter. He tries to cheer her up and offers to help with whatever's making her sad, which is the first major signal that he's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Divinely Appearing Demons
 Good Omens / int_67a12cd4
comment
Divinely Appearing Demons: Crowley notes that there's "not that much difference" in appearance between angels and demons, except the demons are better groomed. One of the running themes of the book is that angels and demons are not so different. "...stretching off to infinity, were the hosts of Heaven and Hell, wingtip to wingtip. If you looked really closely, and had been specially trained, you could tell the difference." Incidentally, this is also a shout-out to a very famous series of pictures by MC Escher depicting... you guessed it: geometrically-spaced angels dovetailing perfectly with geometrically-spaced devils.

The Simple Life is Simple: Subverted, naturally— Pratchett's other books show he knows the rural life very well. This trope gets one paragraph, regarding Pepper's mother's backstory, where she birthed her daughter and named her grandly (Pippin Galadriel Moonchild) in a miserable commune full of ideals and marijuana. Later, Pepper's mother "begins to glimpse why almost the entire drive of human history has been an attempt to get as far away from Nature as possible," she leaves the valley with her baby and returns to her "very surprised" parents.

 Good Omens / int_6bda9a30

Meaningful Name: Crowley, a reference to occultist Aleister Crowley. It also references his original role as the serpent ("Crawly") that tempted Adam and Eve. Attempted with the Antichrist. The Satanist nuns keep trying to get his mother to name him something evil-sounding and eventually end up with Warlock. But subverted, as Warlock is the wrong baby—he turns out a spoiled brat but otherwise normal. The real Antichrist is named Adam, after the first human, and eventually chooses humanity over Hell. Famine receives his scales in Des Moines. This may be a pun on "moins", which means, "Less".

Good Wings, Evil Wings: Downplayed; there is little difference between the wings of angels and demons (though the wings of demons tend to be better groomed). Azrael's wings are called "angel's wings" while also being described as black holes into space with visible stars - there's no way they could have feathers. Perhaps because he's the Angel of Death, and his wings are thereby "angelic" no matter what their style, or maybe the voids in reality are feathery-wing-shaped.

A subtle one is possibly made at pop culture. When The Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse gather at the Diner, they are not all immediately present. A tall fellow with an obscured helmet is playing a video trivia game with a bunch of bikers. Said game has four categories: Pop Music, Sports, Current Events, and General Knowledge. War arrives, and "Sport" is replaced with "War". Famine then shows up, prompting the trivia category General Knowledge to be changed to "Famine." When Pollution arrives, Current Events becomes "Pollution," whereas Pop Culture is renamed with the similar-sounding "Pop Trivia 1962-1979". The Tall Fellow with the Obscured Helmet then refuses to answer the question of what year Elvis Presley died, insisting that he never touched Elvis. The fact that Death was there all along makes one wonder about pop culture.

Once More, with Clarity: The first time we see Agnes being burned she randomly drops a non sequitur that the crowd takes as blasphemy. When Shadwell sees it later in a dream it turns out that she's addressing him, but he experiences it as a non sequitur as well since he can't hear the preceding monologue.

 Good Omens / int_751bd286
comment
Aziraphale's dismissiveness of televangelism and the Rapture while possessing a televangelist who's on the air. "Gosh, am I on television?" It's made clear that this televangelist believes what he says and really does funnel most of his enormous income back into the ministry, doing "what he really thought was the Lord's work". One can only speculate whose cause that helps.

Mistaken for Superpowered: Shadwell confuses Aziraphale for a witch when he sees the enochian circle he drew to contact God. When Aziraphale accidentally steps into the circle and gets discorporated, Shadwell thinks that his exorcism vaporized a demonic entity and for the rest of the novel, he thinks that his finger is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, routinely threatening people with it when they get in his way.

Japanese Ranguage: The fish boat captain speaks this way. Newt's Wasabi has a recorded voice that plays to remind riders to fasten unfastened seatbelts (which never goes off, because hey, it's Newt's Wasabi). The Wasabi's voice is described as being programmed by someone who not only didn't understand English, but didn't understand Japanese, either. At one point the voice is described as saying "Prease to frasten sleat-bert". Inverted at the end, when Adam restores the Wasabi so it runs better than ever. The helpful voice now speaks in clear English, but in haikus.

Armor-Piercing Question: On the brink of succumbing to his nature as the Antichrist, Adam goes on a megolomaniacal rant about remaking the world, dividing up the countries among his friends for each of them to rule. But then Pepper brings up a point; "What bit're you going to have?" Adam comes to a realisation; the only thing he wants is his own beloved hometown of Tadfield, and unlike Australia and America - so far away as to seem like fantasy worlds to him - Tadfield is too real to change. With this, he finally comes back to his senses.

Anti-Anti-Christ: Adam is a mischievous kid who doesn't quite understand adult morality yet, but doesn't do anything really nasty... then he gets angry at the way the human race is screwing up the world and decides to do something about it. For a bit, he becomes a crazed monster, willing to genocide the human race and build new, better people for him to play with. Then his human side regains control and he again becomes his essentially affable self, but still containing a dark well of evil threatening to burst through every so often.

Ambiguous Time Period: The year in which the modern plotline is set is never given, only that it is eleven years after the screwup with the babies at the hospital. However, based on a few clues in technology, it is likely the mid 1980s. Home computers exist, Crowley's Bentley has an audiocassette player, and Marvin O. Bagman's music album is advertised as available on LP, audiocassette, or Compact Disc (which was first sold in the US in 1983).

Badass Decay: In-universe example. A huge dog that would make angry rottweilers and pitbulls cower gets turned into a small terrier-like mongrel with a funny ear, because Adam's his master and he said so. Much to Dog's dismay, he can't scare away cats like he used to and tries (mostly unsuccessfully) to fight his new small-dog instincts. By the end he gives up and starts to enjoy it, realizing much as Crowley has that Earth is so much more interesting than Hell.

comment
Deconstruction: Agnes is a deconstruction of oracular characters in general. On the one hand, we see that she's always right, but sometimes her predictions are oddly specific (don't buye Betamacks), too ahead of their time (jogging helps people to live longer), centered on her relatives in the future (she predicted for 1963-11-22 that a house in a small English city would fall down, but doesn't mention the assassination of John F. Kennedy on the same day — one of her relatives might have been near that house on that day, but apparently, none of them wanted to go to Dallas), and she didn't bother to order her predictions or explain them in detail. On the other hand, she uses her power to successfully Write Back to the Future (and also to prevent people who deliver said message from snooping), and since she can predict everything, this includes knowing when Anathema will read a specific prophecy — so it always fits.

Token Good Teammate: While not as affable as his Discworld counterpart, Death never does anything that could actually be described as evil, in stark contrast to the other Horsepersons of the Apocalypse. Although Famine at one point considers that Death is something Above Good and Evil in a way that even the other Horsemen are spooked by. He doesn't need to do anything, good or bad, he just needs to be.

Overly Long Name: The Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness. To a lesser extent, Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer, a witchfinder ancestor of Newt's. (Newt's reaction is "I suppose if I went around being called Adultery Pulsifer I'd want to hurt as many people as possible.") The Witchfinders seem to have an excess of these, a favorite being Witchfinder-Colonel Ye-Shall-Not-Eat-Any-Living-Thing-With-The-Blood-Neither-Shall-Ye-Use-Enchantment-Nor-Observe-Times Dalrymple. This is likely to be a parody of the names that 17th-century Puritans inflicted on their offspring. For instance, the unfortunate Nicholas If-Jesus-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barbon, who got the nickname "Damned Barbon" for his studies of economics that held that immoral behavior was good for the economy.

Glamour Failure: After War, Famine and Pollution return to Tadfield Army Base after being "wrapped around the world", their human bodies don't exactly... fit right. Also, the automated security system raises the alarm when they enter an off-limits section. Granted, that doesn't achieve anything but annoy the soldiers because of humanity's inherent Weirdness Censor (none of the humans can see the four), but it's still interesting. Crowley has a tendency to hiss when he forgets himself.

Apocalypse How: Class 4, at least. No humans will survive it, and Crowley and Aziraphale discuss the unpleasant consequences for other species such as dolphins and gorillas. Between the impending nuclear war and the events described in The Book of Revelation, it could go as high as Class 6. It's also implied that if Heaven wins, they will destroy Hell, and vice versa.

 Good Omens / int_9591377d
comment
Interestingly, his counterpart Aziraphale is a Punch Clock Angel — not exactly a hero, but has the job of inspiring small amounts of goodness in the same way that Crowley causes small amounts of evil. They even take turns doing each other's jobs once in a while and mostly try to thwart each other on a one-to-one basis so neither side really gets the upper hand. However, though he takes a lot longer than Crowley to realize it, Aziraphale is actually a Punch Clock Villain as well; both his and Crowley's jobs require planning to bring about The End of the World as We Know It. Or at least that's what they think for most of the novel. In the epilogue, he and Crowley both speculate that it's possible that they'd been meant to help avert the Apocalypse the whole time. It's never proved one way or the other, though - as they conclude (with the assistance of Death, who overhears their conversation whilst discreetly feeding the ducks), the thing about ineffable plans is that they're, well, ineffable. The narrative quote under Screw Destiny below - from very early in the novel, mind you - suggests that their conclusions, at least about ineffability, are correct.

Crowley, as a demon, sort of. He does seem to take joy in causing misery to people, but not beyond causing small amounts of annoyance. All the truly evil things he's done were part of the job. It's implied that this is typical of demons, though Hastur and Ligur are notable exceptions.

Trust-Building Blunder: Paintball as a trust-building exercise between office staff might seem like a good idea in theory. It might even be a good idea in reality, assuming one really can find a way to prevent the participants from "accidentally" injuring each other. Just don't get Crowley involved, because he'll switch the paintball guns with actual guns for a laugh. He does make sure no one actually dies, because while he may be a demon, the book's description of him as "an Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards" is in fact nice and accurate.

Been There, Shaped History: Parodied. Crowley received a commendation from Hell for starting the Spanish Inquisition, which was the first he'd heard of it. He just happened to be in the area when it started, so Below attributed it to him. When he finally got around to seeing what that was about, he was horrified and ended up spending a good deal of time drinking to forget what he saw. Likewise, Crowley and Aziraphale both claimed Milton Keynes as a success, and believed meter maids were a plot by the other side, but both were entirely human creations. However, Glasgow and Edinburgh are their work.

Balance Between Good and Evil
 Good Omens / int_a284511d
comment
Balance Between Good and Evil: The forces of Good and Evil are trying to destroy each other, but Aziraphale and Crowley (an angel and a demon, both very low-ranking) have been working opposite each other for so long that they've become friends. They work to maintain the balance because it allows both of them to report successes to their superiors without anything really changing over time, which coincidentally allows them to keep working together on Earth. It's suggested that this may be the underlying idea behind the conflict in the first place, so that neither side ever wins permanently, but God's plan is so ineffable note  "very complicated solitaire." that none of the lesser angels or demons know this for certain. It's implied that halfway between good and evil lie humans, who in turn are capable of the better acts than angels and worse acts than demons. For either side to win would destroy humanity, free will, and the whole world. The free will part of this is what makes Adam realize that doing whatever he wants with the world isn't the right way to go about it, because what's the point of having friends if you can make them do whatever you want?

Telephone Teleport: Played with when the demon in question has already entered Crowley's apartment the conventional way, ready to unleash the wrath of Hell on him. Crowley (also a demon) tricks him by darting into the phone line himself, prompting Hastur, his assailant, to follow him in a high-speed chase through a phone line. Crowley then turns around at the phone on the other end, races back through the line to his own apartment, and reemerges just in time to hang up the phone, leaving Hastur trapped on his own other line's ansaphone tape.

Humanity Is Infectious: Crowley and Aziraphale are both changed somewhat by their time on Earth. Crowley's fellow demon Hastur notes this and claims that Crowley is Going Native. Though even Hastur isn't all that different — when he really wants to let Crowley know just how pissed off he is, he uses human curses since he thinks demonic ones aren't volatile enough. Dog discovers, to his initial horror, that Small-Dog-anity is infectious too.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Just imagine how the events would have resolved had Crowley and the satanic nuns done their baby-swapping task properly... A minor example. Hastur escapes from Crowley's answering machine when a telemarketer calls the number, and proceeds to murder all of the people in the telemarketer's office. This causes a ripple effect of goodwill and contentment in the world because the telemarketers couldn't ruin anyone else's day. Aziraphale points out that Crowley may have done this (while he may have invoked Nice Job Breaking It, Hero) when Crowley tricked humanity into learning the difference between good and evil, while Aziraphale gave them fire. Crowley is not amused.

Jesus Taboo
 Good Omens / int_b25df244
comment
Jesus Taboo: The book plays with every single Evangelical Christian trope and belief about the End of Days, with the notable exception that Jesus never makes an appearance (despite The Book of Revelation being all about his Second Coming!) Even Lucifer and Beelzebub appear in person, but no sign of Christ. Perhaps Gaiman and Pratchett didn't want to push their luck poking fun of Christianity that far. Or perhaps "the Metatron" is He in another guise. Or maybe since the Apocalypse was averted, He didn't need to show up after all.note  The Rosicrucian school of Christian mysticism, however, enshrines an older school of thought: that the energy known as the Metatron is the "bridge" between the human and the divine, God made flesh and directly experiencing what it is to be human. An opinion in theology holds that while the Second Person of God nipped out of the office to spend thirty-three years on Earth, the Metatron was the incarnation of the divinity that Jesus largely left behind in Heaven whilst incarnating as human - effectively keeping the throne warm. The concepts of Metatron and Jesus Christ are very closely linked and can be seen as overlapping a lot.. He does warrant some mention, though — when the Hell's Angels realize who the other bikers in the bar really are, one exclaims, "Jesus Christ!" and another speculates that He's probably looking for someplace to park His bike.

Historical Rap Sheet: Crowley actually was responsible for the original Temptation in the Garden of Eden, but a Running Gag has him receiving the congratulations of Hell whenever they notice something like the Spanish Inquisition has popped up in the human world. They inevitably leap to the conclusion that Crowley was responsible for getting it started. He frequently protests to Aziraphale that he had nothing to do with it whatsoever: the human race thought of new ideas to be beastly to each other all on their own.

Take That!
 Good Omens / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Aziraphale's dismissiveness of televangelism and the Rapture while possessing a televangelist who's on the air. "Gosh, am I on television?" It's made clear that this televangelist believes what he says and really does funnel most of his enormous income back into the ministry, doing "what he really thought was the Lord's work". One can only speculate whose cause that helps. A subtle one is possibly made at pop culture. When The Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse gather at the Diner, they are not all immediately present. A tall fellow with an obscured helmet is playing a video trivia game with a bunch of bikers. Said game has four categories: Pop Music, Sports, Current Events, and General Knowledge. War arrives, and "Sport" is replaced with "War". Famine then shows up, prompting the trivia category General Knowledge to be changed to "Famine." When Pollution arrives, Current Events becomes "Pollution," whereas Pop Culture is renamed with the similar-sounding "Pop Trivia 1962-1979". The Tall Fellow with the Obscured Helmet then refuses to answer the question of what year Elvis Presley died, insisting that he never touched Elvis. The fact that Death was there all along makes one wonder about pop culture. Done repeatedly against telemarketers as a Running Gag. In fact, when Hastur escapes from Crowley's answering machine due to a telemarketer calling it, he immediately kills and consumes all the telemarketers in the building. This is noted to cause a wave of goodness to wash over the surrounding area. The Running Gag about every cassette tape of music in a car turning into a Queen compilation is a subtle dig at the quality of music tapes sold at service stations at the time. The only reason one would have for buying most of them was if one couldn't get one's hands on a blank tape. The Queen tape would be the only tape in the service station that didn't utterly suck, so every car of the period tended to have a Queen tape or two in the centre console. That Glasgow and Edinburgh are noted to be Crowley and Aziraphale's work might count, given their depiction (exactly which one is a Take That depending entirely on the reader). Crowley is very proud of Manchester.

Lost in Translation: Some American paperbacks had misprints due to someone at the publisher's not realizing there is an English city named Hull and therefore renaming it "Hell". Also, the British AA (Automobile Association) became the AAA, an American insurance company. As reprinted, these sort of made sense in context, but only to an American audience. The changing of the AA to the AAA actually averted a bit of this: while the AAA still pretty much says 'car people' to American readers, 'AA' in America is more readily associated with Alcoholics Anonymous, which has a radically different meaning. It's unlikely most American readers would ever have associated it with the Automobile Association without it being spelled out directly.

Hilariously played with for one prophecy, where the descendants wondered what it was about for centuries only for it to be a direct and clear instruction once relevant — "Do notte buy Betamacks".

Urban Fantasy: With the exception of a three-page prologue, the novel takes place entirely in modern, mostly urban settings, and, as demonstrated by the angels, demons, and various other supernatural elements, it's definitely a work of fantasy. (A comedic one, but it still qualifies.)

New Powers as the Plot Demands
 Good Omens / int_c26e2b1
comment
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Aziraphale and Crowley, preparing for the final battle, sprout wings. It's kind of implicit that they had the capability, since they're an angel and a demon, but they've spent the entire story up to this point (apart from the prologue) in ordinary human-shaped bodies. It's only at the end when they face off against Lucifer and think they're going to die that they decide they might as well go out the way they came in.

Somewhat Zig-Zagged in that Agnes fully foresaw this and only even published it for the single gratis copy to which an author is entitled. Additionally, her book is full of extremely specific and esoteric prophecies that are relevant entirely to her descendants and not to the broader world (for instance, her prediction for November 22, 1963 was about a house falling down in King's Lynn and said nothing about Dallas). Regardless, she is noted as having been the world's worst prophet entirely because all of her predictions came true.

Felony Misdemeanor: Crowley's reaction to his immediate superiors being rather underwhelmed by his demonic influences (i.e. traffic jams, telemarketers, the M25) on the mortal world. Hastur and Ligur look down on Crowley's tying up London's phone system for an hour at lunchtime (tarnishing thousands of souls in a domino effect of people being in bad moods across the city) in favor of their more artful craft of spending a lifetime trying to corrupt a single pious individual.

Shout-Out
 Good Omens / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: There are many, many shout-outs, ranging from Edgar Allan Poe to Dirty Harry. Pepper mistakes Metatron for Megatron when he introduces himself. When the Them are playing Adam does the best Darth Vader impression. Reference is made to the arguments over who gets to wear the coal scuttle and blow up planets. Little girl at Warlock's birthday party: "I gotter transformer anna mylittleponyer anna decepticonattacker anna thundertank anna..." The dedication: "To G. K. Chesterton: A Man Who Knew What Was Going On". The example from Flock of Wolves ("The park was deserted except for a member of MI9 trying to recruit someone who, to their later mutual embarrassment, would turn out to be also a member of MI9") may be a reference to Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday, which has this happen on a massive scale. Upon seeing the Them ride past on their bikes the airbase guard asks if anyone saw if they were carrying an alien in a basket. There's also the alien that looked like a pepper pot, described as beeping, so... it's a bit of a twofer. Adam's style of speaking is an homage to William Brown in the Just William stories, as are the speaking styles of the Them, the little-girl hanger-on, and the Them's mortal foes, the Johnsonites. A few shout-outs are made to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. When discussing the coming apocalypse while drunk, Crowley starts rambling about dolphins. Pepper's real name, Pippin Galadriel Moonchild, is a twofer reference to The Lord of the Rings and The Neverending Story. Moonchild may additionally be a reference to a story by Aleister Crowley - i.e., the namesake of Crowley. The names Hastur and Dagon are references to H. P. Lovecraft. (Neither name was invented by him, but he made them famous). Hastur and Ligur were demon-names used by Welsh horror writer Arthur Machen in his dark stories in the early 1900s. When Hastur and Ligur are first introduced, the text notes that they are so very good at lurking that "if Bruce Springsteen ever recorded Born To Lurk they'd be on the cover". Crowley says at one point: "You think wars get started because some old duke gets shot, or someone cuts off someone's ear, or someone's sited their missiles in the wrong place." They are references to, respectively, World War I, The War of Jenkins' Ear, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Crowley's big inspiring concept of spreading a relatively small amount of mischief as wide as he can, so everyone gets a splash, is a shout-out to C. S. Lewis' creation, the teaching demon Screwtape, who advocates exactly this as the human race gets ever-larger whereas there were only the same number of demons to deal with them. A lot of Crowley's modus operandi looks like he's read and learnt from The Screwtape Letters. The name Wormwood, suggested for the Antichrist by Sister Mary Loquacious, is also the name of Screwtape's student. The Chattering Order of Saint Beryl first appeared as a comedic device in 1960s comedy sketch show Not Only... But Also. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore expanded the sketch into their 1967 movie, Bedazzled. Only, their Beryllites extoled and praised God while performing acrobatic feats on trampolines, so as to be Nearer, our God, to Thee. Indeed, Peter Cook's louche, cool, and trendy indoor-sunglasses-wearing Satan in Bedazzled comes over suspiciously like an Ur-Example of Anthony Crowley and shares many characteristics... Anathema's warm woollen cloak and reliable bicycle may be a shout-out to Margaret Rutherford's portrayal of the medium Madame Arcati in the 1945 movie version of Blithe Spirit. Or else to the everyday working jobbing Witches of the Discworld - warm unglamorous cloaks and reliable, although not very fast, broomsticks. Shakespeare's "lost plays" include a reference to Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap and another to a series of movie musicals (Gold Diggers of 1933, 1935, and 1937). At a point when the narration reveals Dog's perspective, Adam's commands are described as "His Master's Voice," a reference to the British record label. At the last paragraph after Adam manages to avert the apocalypse: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot... No, imagine a sneaker, laces trailing, kicking a pebble; imagine a stick, to poke at interesting things, and throw for a dog that may or may not decide to retrieve it; imagine a tuneless whistle, pounding some luckless popular song into insensibility; imagine a figure, half angel, half devil, all human... slouching hopefully towards Tadfield... forever..."

Freudian Excuse: Newton suggests that this is why his ancestor had been a Witchfinder, because having to be called "Adultery Pulsifer" all the time would have made him want to hurt a lot of other people. Anathema shrugs this off and says he was probably just an ordinary misogynist.

Good Is Boring: It's explained that Heaven doesn't have any good, notable musicians or actors. The two musical exceptions that Crowley says Heaven possesses are Elgar and Liszt. It's implied to be very terrible. Crowley emphasises some of the horror underlying Heaven's tedium when he tells Aziraphale that if Heaven wins Armageddon, in the time it takes for a bird to fly from one end of the universe to the other and wear down a mountain by sharpening its beak against it, Aziraphale still won't have finished watching The Sound of Music. And Aziraphale will enjoy it. Every single time. Note that this is a parody of the traditional hellfire sermon, where the bird flying across the universe is used to suggest how long the torments of the damned will go on.

Archangel Azrael: Death, one of the Four Horsemen (or motorbikers) of the Apocalypse, doesn't get as much page time as the others because he's always busy, but towards the climax he reveals that, in spite of his position with the Four Horsemen, he is not like the others. Whereas his three companions are more or less manifestations of facets of humanity, Death is actually the angel Azrael, with wings of darkest blackness and dotted with lights that aren't stars. When the others are defeated, he congratulates the characters and leaves.

Screw Destiny: The entire book is about breaking away from destiny and people's expectations of you, and finding your own path. At the end, Newton Pulsifer even convinces Anathema Device not to live her life trying to interpret prophecies left to her by a distant ancestor. Also, the Antichrist averts Armageddon. However, Agnes may have seen it all coming. Hilarious that the plot to Screw Destiny is actually orchestrated by God, and everything might have gone just as His ineffable plan intended; even the angels and devils really have no idea. Adam more or less states this explicitly near the end: "I don't see why it matters what is written. Not when it's about people. It can always be crossed out."

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night: Noted as untrue when Crowley goes to meet Hastur and Ligur. Like so: Played with in the prologue. After Adam and Eve are kicked out of Eden — which up to then had had only nice, sunny days — mean-looking clouds and lightning are described as coming over the horizon, ending, "It was going to be a dark and stormy night."

Taken from a Dream: After being introduced to Conspiracy Theorist magazines and environmentalism by Anathema Device, Adam Young has dreams on both subjects... but as he's the Antichrist, his Reality Warper powers result in the contents of his dreams becoming real, leading to sea monsters attacking whaling ships, aliens landing on Earth, Atlantis rising from the ocean, and the nuclear material in a reactor vanishing and being replaced by a lemon drop. Also, given that he's Obliviously Superpowered, Adam isn't initially aware of any of this.

Just Following Orders: Aziraphale and Crowley discuss their bad feelings about the coming end of the world: Three hours of drowning their sorrows later, Aziraphale puts it slightly more bluntly, if less coherently: After some character development, near the end of the book it's Aziraphale who points out, while trying to convince Crowley not to leave the mortals to confront Satan alone, "Lots of people in history have only done their jobs, and look at the trouble they caused."

Humans Are Special
 Good Omens / int_e0207930
comment
Humans Are Special: In contrast to angels and demons, who are described as being predisposed to being Always Lawful Good and Always Chaotic Evil respectively, humans possess the ability to be either at any given moment. In fact, humans are capable of greater virtue than angels and deeper malice than even the most sadistic of demons, to the point where Crowley wonders why they even bother. It's that free will thing. It's a bugger. When Crowley read the end-user agreement that came with his computer, he was so impressed with the way it was worded that he sent a copy of it to the department of Hell that deals with soul-selling contracts, with a yellow sticky-note on it reading, "Learn, guys." It is this very quality that makes Adam reject his destiny and cancel the apocalypse before it officially starts. This trope is demonstrated when the Them are able to defeat the Horsepersons of the Apocalypse through the power of belief. The Horsepersons are mere Anthropomorphic Personifications of ideas, so the Them, having ideas of their own, easily vanquish them.

Friend to All Living Things
 Good Omens / int_e21faf11
comment
Friend to All Living Things: Parodied by Crowley, who talks to his plants to encourage their growth. Topics include disappointment in growth rates and what happened to the last plant that didn't bloom. His plants are very tall, very green, and very frightened. Aziraphale exhibits this trope in several instances where Crowley is about to get someone killed. Having tried and failed to replace clowns as the entertainment at a child's birthday party by way of his old training as a stage magician, ends up suffocating a dove by leaving it tucked in his sleeve for too long. He seems much less bothered by that than by the fact that the hellhound he and Crowley are watching for hasn't shown up, and Crowley's the one who carefully resurrects the bird and sends it on its way. At one point, St. Francis disguises himself as a gardener and plays the Friend To All Living Things trope literally and explicitly for the benefit of an impressionable child. It doesn't exactly work.

Exact Words: Anathema intimidates an American soldier into submission by shoving a stick into his back to imitate a gun and telling him to do what she says, or she'll regret what she has to do next (the natural implication being "shoot him"). The narration goes on to say that this is quite true, as she would really regret the soldier discovering Anathema's ruse and trying to shoot her.

Newt's Wasabi has a recorded voice that plays to remind riders to fasten unfastened seatbelts (which never goes off, because hey, it's Newt's Wasabi). The Wasabi's voice is described as being programmed by someone who not only didn't understand English, but didn't understand Japanese, either. At one point the voice is described as saying "Prease to frasten sleat-bert". Inverted at the end, when Adam restores the Wasabi so it runs better than ever. The helpful voice now speaks in clear English, but in haikus.

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: The concept is brought up in those exact words during one of Aziraphale and Crowley's binge drinking philosophical debates. It turns out to be literal, as well: they compare lists of organizations they consider to be on their respective sides, and a slight majority are on both lists.

Colour-Coded Characters: Three of the Four Horsemen have motifs based on the colour of horse they're described as riding in Revelation (War red, Famine black, Pestilence white). This covers not only their physical appearances, but also the pseudonyms they use, which are all synonyms for these colours.

Capital Letters Are Magic: Several times, sometimes bordering on parody levels. Oftentimes Gaiman and Pratchett will have nouns capitalized to emphasize their cosmic importance. For example, "the Start" (Genesis), "Above" (Heaven), "Below" (Hell), "the Last Battle" (Armageddon), "the Great Plan", "Life", "Time", and "Universe".

Defcon 5: Played with in the final episode, when the four Horsepersons power up the nuclear exchange that will end the world, and all relevant indicators go to Defcon 5 — because the Horsepersons have decided that having the indicators stuck on "normal peacetime conditions" while conditions become increasingly abnormal will increase the confusion.

This trope is demonstrated when the Them are able to defeat the Horsepersons of the Apocalypse through the power of belief. The Horsepersons are mere Anthropomorphic Personifications of ideas, so the Them, having ideas of their own, easily vanquish them.

Anthropomorphic Personification: The four Horsepersons are these for the various foibles of humankind. In the climax, they give up their humanoid appearances and become more direct metaphors: War is a construct of bullets and weapons, Pollution is a slime monster, etc. Only Death maintains the same skeletal appearance throughout the story, because unlike the others he's a true angel and not a figment of humanity's collective imagination.

Running Gag
 Good Omens / int_f9f2c33
comment
The Running Gag about every cassette tape of music in a car turning into a Queen compilation is a subtle dig at the quality of music tapes sold at service stations at the time. The only reason one would have for buying most of them was if one couldn't get one's hands on a blank tape. The Queen tape would be the only tape in the service station that didn't utterly suck, so every car of the period tended to have a Queen tape or two in the centre console.

Have a Gay Old Time
 Good Omens / int_fa6bfde9
comment
Have a Gay Old Time: Non-sexual example in The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter (the word 'nice' didn't settle on its modern implication until the 19th century). Probably influenced by the story of Alice Nutter and the Device family of Pendle, Lancs., being recorded in a 1612 book called The Wonderful Discovery of Witches in Lancashire — wonderful at the time meaning simply 'amazing'. Also happens when Anathema and Newt are trying to get inside the airforce base. The American guard is very impressed with Newt's fancy Witchfinder credentials, but is skeptical of the part "...about us got to give you faggots?" Although he is excited when he finds out that they wanted the faggots to burn them.

Don't Explain the Joke
 Good Omens / int_fabef10f

Don't Explain the Joke: Played with. Footnotes were added to the American version to explain some of the jokes that depend on knowing British geography and such. Except they tend to boil down to "If you were British, you'd be laughing." Some of them contain their own little joke to compensate. For example, after the lengthy explanation of the old British system of currency, it quips how the Brits spent a long time avoiding the decimal system "because they thought it was too complicated".

Go-Karting with Bowser
 Good Omens / int_fc4f5f19
comment
Go-Karting with Bowser: The relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley started out like this and only got closer. By the time the story gets underway they've been actively defying both Heaven and Hell for years, and only participating in the angel/demon feud to keep up appearances. The reason given for their "Arrangement" is that they realised "they have more in common with their immediate opponents than their remote allies" and a certain acceptance of the inevitable, rather than ideological slippage. Aziraphale honestly believes in his cause and Crowley enjoys his work, but neither sees what they do as particularly important in determining the contest between Good and Evil.

comment
Brick Joke: After the baby swap at the beginning, the narrator notes that it would be nice to think that the spare baby, instead of being ruthlessly disposed of, was adopted out and led an ordinary life somewhere with an ordinary sort of hobby like "restoring vintage bicycles, perhaps, or breeding tropical fish". Much, much later it's mentioned in passing and lampshaded in the footnotes that Greasy Johnson, the leader of Tadfield's other kid gang, is secretly devoted to his prize-winning collection of tropical fish. Near the beginning, Crowley invites Aziraphale to lunch at the Ritz. Near the end, he does it again — and while the angelsnote (it is, after all, a plot point that fallen angels are still angels) are dining at the Ritz, a nightingale sings in Berkeley Square. In a footnote, it is mentioned that one of four things published in a trashy tabloid is actually true, including the fact that Elvis works at a burger joint. A little while later, Famine visits a restaurant and there's a man flipping burgers... with a cowlick... singing Hound Dog. You do the math. Further reinforced by Death later saying he never touched the guy.

Evil Is Petty: Crowley's Modus Operandi is generating vast amounts of low-level evil (telemarketers, phone system failures, the M25, and such) as the knock-on effects are potentially vast, and furthermore, the people themselves keep it going, as opposed to more old-school demons who work on corrupting people on an individual basis.

Shown Their Work: One would think that Nutter and Device were just comedic last names made up for laughs. Anathema's lecture on the topic certainly plays this aspect up. However, those familiar with the Pendle Witches know that they were the last names of some "actual" witches. Similarly, the reader might think that the Wicked Bible – named for a tiny, tiny proof-reading failure meaning that one of the ten commandments was "thou shalt commit adultery" – was, like the Buggre Alle This Bible, just another joke by the authors. The reader would be wrong. With the exception of the "Charing Cross Bible", the other erratic Bibles listed are all also real. It's mentioned that Warlock, the supposed Antichrist, was taken to Megiddo, the Biblical battlefield for the last fight between Heaven and Hell. In fact, "Armageddon" is derived from this place.
