| The Spectator (Magazine) | comment |
The title of two British political magazines, one that ran from 1711 to 1712 and a second that started in 1828 and is still going. The second sometimes claims descent from the first but there is no direct connection other than the name.The magazine has no relation to the 2024 TVB Series. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Addison repeatedly criticises the fashion for Italian opera in London, pointing out that most of the people attending it don't speak the language anyway. | |

Bungling Inventor | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_334a404 | comment |
Bungling Inventor: Steele, and some advertising for his inventions sometimes shows up in The Spectator. The best-known one is probably a portable fish pond on wheels intended to deliver fresh fish to inland areas, this being before methods of preservation like refrigeration. | |

Weird Trade Union | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_35b429f3 | comment |
Weird Trade Union: The fashion for proliferating clubs in the early eighteenth century was mocked, with clubs devoted to absolutely everything being referenced in the magazine. One that became a particular Running Gag was the 'Ugly Club of Oxford', with readers writing in keen to apply and boasting of their deformities. | |

The Casanova | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
The Casanova: Steele in Real Life, and the character Will Honeycomb in the magazine, possibly in an Author Avatar fashion. | |

Viewers Are Geniuses | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_641cf81d | comment |
Viewers Are Geniuses: Addison-penned articles make use of many quotes from classical literature, sometimes in the original Greek. Of course, it was aimed at an educated audience. | |

Perspective Flip | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_8a9eb844 | comment |
Perspective Flip: One segment is supposedly written by one of four Iroquois envoys who visited London in 1710, and is used to criticise negative aspects of 1710s British society through alien eyes—in particular vicious political partisanship and declining church attendance. | |

Author Filibuster | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_b593baf1 | comment |
Author Filibuster: One very early segment is basically Addison's love letter to the British Constitution as seen in the form of an allegorical dream. | |

StrawmanPolitical | |
| The Spectator (Magazine) / int_e2023325 | comment |
Strawman Political: The best-known example is Mr Spectator's friend "Sir Roger de Coverley" (punningly named after a popular dance of the time), a caricature of a Tory squire who was used to gently mock the Tories' policies as being old-fashioned. | |
