Miranda was a Britcom created, written by & starring Miranda Hart that aired on The BBC from 2009 to 2015.Derived from her earlier radio comedy Miranda Hart's Joke Shop, it follows Miranda as she stumbles through life from one "Fawlty Towers" Plot to another, much to the embarrassment of herself and her loved ones, which include her mother Penny (Patricia Hodge), best friend and workmate Stevie (Sarah Hadland), love interest Gary (Tom Ellis), and old frenemy Tilly (Sally Phillips), while other recurring characters include Gary's boss Clive (James Holmes), Miranda's eventual new boyfriend Mike (Bo Poraj), and an unnamed customer who keeps getting involved in Miranda's schemes (Dominic Coleman).The series ran for three seasons and a two-part finale special, ending with Miranda and Gary finally getting married. At the height of its popularity, it became one of the few shows to jump from BBC Two to BBC One, and received new attention from American viewers when it began streaming on Hulu in the US.In 2020, Call Me Kat, an American counterpart, premiered on FOX. Hart is a producer of this remake alongside The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons.If you want to know about your right to remain silent, you want Miranda Rights instead.

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Zig-zagged. In the final episode, Miranda and Stevie hear that Gary is at a wedding, believe he's marrying Jacinta and rush to the venue to stop the ceremony. Miranda gets there just in time... only to discover that Gary is merely the best man. He does, however, agree to marry her right then and there, as per the usual trope.

No Fourth Wall
 Miranda (2009) / int_3b4f620a
comment
No Fourth Wall: Miranda frequently turns toward the camera to make jokes to the viewers and to actually talk to them as if it were a conversation, except this is only done in short bursts, usually to raise a quizzical eyebrow or to completely contradict what she's just said. To the psychiatrist: "You haven't got us pegged!" - to the audience: "He has totally got us pegged!" A Shout-Out to a certain show about an American psychiatrist? Lampshaded when Penny is doing an impression of Miranda, and ends it with an Aside Glance at the audience. Then cut to Miranda also looking at the audience, confused. (Which can be seen here) Hart has herself said this was inspired very heavily by the old sketches of Morecambe and Wise.

Parents Suck at Matchmaking: Miranda Hart's domineering and overbearing mother does not like it at all that she still has a single daughter, and hatches various matchmaking schemes to get her paired off. Once in desperation she tries holding a street auction to the highest suitable bidder.

Mouthing the Profanity
 Miranda (2009) / int_607d2ef7
comment
Mouthing the Profanity: This is a recurring gag for Miranda, who will especially mouth "sex", "breasts", and "moist". This is then played with when Miranda's mum (it all runs in the family) does something similar, but mouths the innocent words around the profanity instead, notably in such an embarrassing way as: "I'd say she was company, but she looks like a HOOKER!"

Studio Audience You can easily tell this especially when Gary comes in the psychiatrist office where Miranda and her mum are in and confesses his love for Miranda, kisses her, and goes down on one knee to propose. Half of the audience members are screaming like twelve-year-old girls. Then, you can hear them "aww'ing" at sheer disappointment when we find out it was just Miranda daydreaming.

Catchphrase
 Miranda (2009) / int_b01abe4f
comment
Catchphrase: Several, including Tilly's "Bear with, bear with" whenever she's reading a text, Penny's "Such fun!", and her habit of using the phrase "what I call" inappropriately. (Such as, "She's having it on a, what I call, weekday.") There's also Stevie's super-positive conversations with her Heather Small cutout - 'Whurt hev ya dun toodeeehh to mek yer feeeeel prooaarroroad?!' Miranda's "Rude!" and "Good word, isn't it?" also get repeated often. Less noticeable is Gary's awkward "Hi." when he walks in, inevitably, at the worst possible moment. But these are all lampshaded beyond all proportion. In later episodes Charlie says "soz" very frequently. His other catchphrase is "I bloody love crisps!"

 Miranda (2009) / int_bd0230fb
comment
Ambiguously Bi: Penny has an active sex life with her husband, Charles, much to the horror and disgust of Miranda. Though when Miranda pretends to be a lesbian to avoid marriage to wealthy, eccentric country men, Penny also mentions that she and her best friend (and worst enemy) Belinda "had a fun time at school". Stevie agrees to pretend to be a lesbian with Miranda so they can get married, and then Miranda can live life without Penny trying to pressure her into marriage. However, Stevie gets very into character and becomes offended when Miranda reminds her that they aren't actually in love or about to get married. Stevie's obsession with Heather Small, even cutting out her head from a cardboard model of her, could be seen as this. Gary is of course Miranda's love interest. Like her, he's from a rich background with a mother constantly trying to get him married. Gary has a mutual crush on Miranda, but when the attractive Doctor comes he seems just taken with him as the girls are.

Flanderization
 Miranda (2009) / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Miranda started off as a hilariously clumsy and socially awkward character, whose social mishaps were mostly natural. However by the third series she is deliberately going out her way to be anti-social, sociopathic and cause trouble as a way to appear funny, even when there's no real call for it, including damaging property/items on purpose, such as hitting wine glasses with a tennis racket at her mother's tennis social, as well as cutting a boy's earphones off on the train, and getting right in a yoga instructor's face. This applies for other characters too, such as Gary appearing to make her jealous and being unpleasant and insensitive to Mike when his dog was dying (even if he was his love rival) whereas previously he was more considerate and pleasant. All the other characters also appear more over the top in their behaviours.

Lady Looks Like a Dude: Played for Laughs on several occasions. It's a running joke of the series that Miranda is mistaken for a man, especially due to her height and build. In one episode, Miranda's attempt to buy a nice dress results in an inadvertent visit to a cross-dresser shop where the owner plays along with the fiction that she's a woman. Later, dolled up, she's oblivious to the fact that a guy hitting on her thinks she's cross-dressing, until her (and his) bubble is finally burst by Stevie's astonished:

Beta Bitch: Fanny is this to Tilly. Fanny was supposed to be a Series Regular for Series Two, but her actress couldn’t be this because she had to return to another series. During the final episode of Series One, when Tilly becomes half-naked accidentally at a party, Fanny is mortified and rushes off. Seeing as she doesn’t appear again, it’s most likely Fanny ended her friendship with Tilly.

Running Gag

comment
Running Gag: Someone, or even Miranda herself, unknowingly quotes a line from a song and Miranda then proceeds to sing the song the line is from. Miranda saying an Inherently Funny Word, then commenting on its inherent funniness and repeating it several times. Miranda pushing Stevie off her stool.

Brick Joke: There's at least one brick joke per episode which comes back somehow at the end, no matter how contrived.
