Spaced is a Brit Com which ran for 2 seasons on Channel 4 between 1999 and 2001. Written by its stars, Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, and directed by Edgar Wright, the series focuses on two twenty-something friends at crossroads in their lives: Tim (Pegg), a cynical geek and aspiring comic book artist who is dumped by his girlfriend in the first episode, and Daisy (Stevenson), a bubbly aspiring journalist who doesn't have anything to say or the work ethic to say it.After the two pretend to be a couple in order to rent an inexpensive flat, the show focuses on their zany adventures as they struggle to get their lives on track, figure out new ways to kill time, and deal with the feelings that could be developing between them, despite their repeated insistence to everyone that they aren't together. Tim's military-obsessed friend Mike, Daisy's ditzy glamour friend Twist, Mad Artist Brian in the flat below and dipsomaniac landlady Marsha complete the main cast.Because Pegg and Wright went on to collaborate on a string of successful films, Stevenson's contributions to the show are often ignored by overeager marketing executives who label it as "from the creators of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz". Still, the show's manic camerawork and frequent references to popular genre films and TV shows can ring very familiar.Came sixty-sixth in Britain's Best Sitcom.In 2018, Pegg definitively ruled out any possibility of continuing the series, saying that "it couldn’t possibly ever exist again" because it was about "a group of twenty-somethings at the turn of the century". He further stated, "I dunno what I have to say that’s relatable about life now. It’s not gonna happen, kids – unless you want a sitcom about some clueless actor who can’t tie his own shoelaces."

Cover Identity Anomaly: When Tim and Daisy pretend to be a couple in order to rent an apartment. Though they attempt to be as thorough as possible by learning a multitude of mundane details about each other ("I forgot what you got for your fifth birthday!" "Miniature drum kit"), they get caught in their lie while fumbling around regarding what day they had sex first vs. what day they kissed first. Also, it's not until after they get the story of their shared history straight that they think to tell each other their names.

Roommate Com: Two twenty-somethings share a flat in London, plus the various odd characters around them, with added pop-culture based surrealism. However, despite their improbably cheap flat, the depiction of their economic situation is pretty realistic (worries about jobs, no disposable income).

Background Body Part: The "devil horns" variant is played for laughs as Daisy realises she and Tim are going to have to keep lying to Marsha about them being a couple in order to continue renting her flat; "We're evil," Daisy laments, just as the shot is reframed to conspicuously position a pair of bananas in a fruit bowl as horns on her head.

Love Makes You Uncreative: Brian realizes that his relationship with Twist is preventing him from painting, because he can only paint when he is unhappy. Subverted, because the realization that he must choose between his relationship and his career makes him unhappy, allowing him to paint successfully again.

Obstructive Bureaucrat: Daisy does not have a good time in the Job Centre: "No, this is the A-b form, you need the A-B form, capital B." The clerk responds to her questions with a simpering smile and an inane, "I'm sorry, I don't understand." Although he's a definite example of the trope, Daisy isn't exactly in the right; she's a would-be benefit sponge making a transparent attempt to claim fraudulent benefits, and the clerk has clearly seen through her feeble efforts and clocked exactly what she's up to. Oh, and furthermore, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it flashback, we see that she did much the same to him when she was working at a bar and he wanted a drink. Hilariously subverted by Tim's clerk;

Ominous Latin Chanting: At the end of the episode "Battles," in which Tim revealed his phobia of dogs, lightning, and bamboo, some ominous latin chanting accompanies an image of the dog Colin sitting on Tim's bed, chewing on some bamboo sticks during a lightning storm. Used several times in "Dissolution", as part of an extended parody of The Omen.

So Near, Yet So Far: Tim is almost able to sever his connection with Sarah completely in the very first episode after telling her that he is moving in with Daisy and that she has absolutely no right to be upset - only for her to completely torpedo his confidence by demanding to know if he loves Daisy. When he replies that he doesn't and fervently states that he still loves her, she smiles smugly and shuts the door in his face.

Strange Minds Think Alike: When Brian tells Tim that he and Vulva used to make performance art together, we see Tim's idea of how ridiculous and pretentious it must have been. Then we see Brian's memory of a performance. The two are practically the same. When Tim tells a job centre receptionist that he was fired over a difference of opinion, she immediately and correctly guesses that it was because he didn't like The Phantom Menace.

Pac-Man Fever
 Spaced / int_38d3a0f7
comment
Pac Man Fever: Averted. Tim plays what were, at the time, relatively up-to-date video games, and the several scenes feature then very overtly. And, in fact, Simon Pegg was actually playing the game through each take. Notably one of the games he's seen playing, Resident Evil 2 factors into the plot of the episode. Another notable example that comes to mind was an argument between Tim and Daisy interspersed with cutaway shots of a game of Tekken. At the end of the argument, Tim walked away as the Tekken game displayed 'NINA WINS!' on the screen, and following that Daisy stood in a similar winning pose to Nina and it displayed 'DAISY WINS' on the screen.

Stylistic Suck: Brian's art. Dear God, Brian's art: he even doubts his own endeavours from time to time (notably before meeting with former cohort Vulva). His portrait of Twist shows he's pretty competent at Cubism, at least Mike recognised who it was straight away (though he did also think it was the real Twist). Daisy's writing probably qualifies as well, at least early on.

Smoking Hot Sex Vacuuming: Tim and Daisy decide to resolve the lingering issue between them when they first move in, and we cut to them lying back enjoying a cigarette. Instead of screwing, it's cleaning the apartment.

Growing Up Sucks
 Spaced / int_57efd4c4
comment
Growing Up Sucks: A rare post-childhood example; all of the main characters are pretty immature and struggle to come to terms with the fact that their childhoods are over and they're becoming adults, with all the responsibilities that involves. Tim in particular seems to have a bit of a complex about it.

The Unfair Sex
 Spaced / int_6ae4dedd
comment
The Unfair Sex: Played with; both Sarah and Twist are presented as incredibly thoughtless at best with regards to how they treat Tim and Brian respectively, but both are ultimately presented as unsympathetic and unfair with regards to this. However, Marsha seems to find the idea of Daisy possibly cheating on Tim titillating, whereas the idea of Tim cheating on Daisy disgusts her. Daisy also cheated on her long-distance boyfriend Richard during their relationship, which was one of the central reasons why they broke up; while she's not really condemned for it in the same way that the other two are, it's also pretty clearly suggested that Richard was justified in breaking up with her.

Serious Business: Tim and Bilbo take their fantasy/sci-fi fandom extremely seriously. Tim was so disappointed by The Phantom Menace that he burned his Star Wars paraphernalia in a scene mirroring Darth Vader's cremation. Bilbo admits to punching out two people for describing Hawk the Slayer as "rubbish". One of them was his dad. Even still, he sacks Tim for verbally assaulting a child in search of a Jar Jar Binks doll. Then, when Bilbo offers Tim his old job back, all it takes to make Tim's new boss fire him on the spot is for Tim to declare "Babylon 5's a big pile of shit!" The paintball game in Season 1 Episode 4.

True Art Is Incomprehensible: In-Universe. Brian's friend Vulva performs incomprehensible performance art pieces that he finds ingenious. When Daisy tries her hand at a similarly ridiculous performance, Brian is moved to tears. Later, Brian and Twist go to an exhibition of paintings that are entirely white. Except for one single painting (a post-date-with-Twist still-life of some flowers), Brian's entire artistic output is this trope.

The Not-So-Harmless Punishment: Tim, unable to cope with The Phantom Menace, is admonished by Bilbo for getting cross with a child who wanted to buy a Jar Jar Binks doll. When he asks Bilbo what he's going to do about his behavior, Bilbo responds, "I'm going to have to let you go." Tim, relieved that he's being let off the hook when he thought he was going to be fired, takes a brief moment before understanding that firing him is exactly what Bilbo had intended doing all along.

This is driven home by cuts to a Tim/Sophie kiss and a shot of the cake after all of Marsha's and Tim's lines, respectively.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tim drew a caricature of of head of Dark Star Comics describing himself as a massive wanker. Naturally, Tim removed this piece before submitting his portfolio to Dark Star for consideration. Only Daisy, who apparently only wanted to help, put it back in. There's a few subtle hints dropped that Daisy may have been jealous of Tim's break, and wanted to sabotage it.

Reference Overdosed: Not that there's anything wrong with that. People can watch the show, and those who don't get the references can enjoy the jokes without problems, and those who do catch all the reference can actually add more laughs. Wright and Pegg's films after the series have this as a method of writing and directing. The DVD boxsets come with an optional "Homage-O-Meter" setting to keep track of every Shout-Out.note Including times when the show references itself, and - during the paintball and finger-gun sequences - sometimes just flatly giving up and declaring they're shouting out to "Every war move ever."

Two Scenes, One Dialogue: The cold opening for the first season is shot as if Tim and Daisy are having an argument/breakup but in fact it's Tim breaking up with Sarah, intercut with Daisy trying to get rid of a tramp she apparently took home and slept with whilst drunk.

The Ace: Duane Benzie is clearly this in Tim's memories (more athletic, higher income, nice car, more attractive to women). In both of his appearances, however, his treatment makes him more akin to a Butt-Monkey.

The gunfight. Not just a Finger Gun battle, it has Dual Wielding, frag grenades, gun jams, Big Nos, even a segue to classical music to pan over the "dead" and highlight the senseless waste of it all.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Played with. Tim starts to explain to Daisy about how easily distracted Tyres has been an certain occasions, but both of them are immediately distracted by the TV. Mike is implied to have had this happen to him as well. Prior to series one, Mike stole a tank and attempted to invade Paris and was only apprehended when he stopped off at Disneyland Paris to ride Space Mountain.

Berserk Button: For Tim, anyone complimenting the Star Wars prequels. He even throws a little kid out of the comic book store he works at for wanting a Jar Jar Binks action figure. Bilbo Bagshot also punches anyone who calls Hawk the Slayer rubbish. Perhaps the only thing that aggravates Tim as much as the Star Wars prequels is romantic rival Duane Benzie, played by Peter Serafinowicz, the voice of... Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace! He also flips out in the beginning over the group playing "Time Warp" at his housewarming party. Bilbo's rival, Derek, will not hear a bad word said about Babylon 5. Tim exploits this to get himself fired so he can go back to working with Bilbo.

Compliment Backfire: Most of Twist's communication with Daisy in particular takes the form of possibly unintentional but definitely hurtful and snide backhanded compliments. "Little bit of a tummy show... Big's in this season! Good for you." Marsha gets a few of these in as well: "You look really well! A lot of people lose weight when they're travelling."

Shout-Out, Homage, The Parody: By the bucket, of everything, including some rather obscure films and TV shows. The DVDs even have a subtitle track consisting purely of the sources of each reference, including, rather confusingly, those from shows within the show. For example, in one episode, Daisy is making up a story about working on a movie to impress someone, saying the movie's to be named Guacamole Window. The subtitle on that track then says "Film Ref: Guacamole Window, Directed by and starring Daisy Steiner." And indeed itself, when it harks back to the victory walk when Bilbo takes Tim back.

Mundane Made Awesome
 Spaced / int_d148b019
comment
Mundane Made Awesome: Scenes from films are re-enacted with a fraction of the budget, in far more mundane circumstances. Played for bathos or pastiche. The gunfight. Not just a Finger Gun battle, it has Dual Wielding, frag grenades, gun jams, Big Nos, even a segue to classical music to pan over the "dead" and highlight the senseless waste of it all. The paintball duel. And Mike's Heroic Sacrifice, complete with Paint From The Mouth. A reenactment of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest set in the kitchen of a fast food restaurant. Called "Neo Nachos". In the first episode of season 2, Daisy and Mike share a moment out of Pulp Fiction, when Daisy finds Mike's Uzi on the counter when she gets home. He walks out of the bathroom to find his gun pointed at him. The two stare tensely at each other, until they're startled by the toaster just as Tim comes in, then they start to have a conversation and forget it happened. From The Sixth Sense: Part one of the second series finale ends with Tim and Mike about to go and talk to Marsha, done as an almost word-for-word take on the end of The Empire Strikes Back. Compete with Wookiee noises imitated (quite well!) by a yawning Mike. The first time Brian steps in to cover for Tim and Daisy's fake relationship with a well-timed excuse, he gets played out by the theme from The Magnificent Seven (and, being Brian, screws up his exit.) The food fight during Daisy's birthday party greatly resembles the finale of Bugsy Malone, down to the dramatic piano chords after the action is over.

He later claims to have had "a love-affair between two straight men" with his "post-sexual" collaborator Vulva, whom he refers to as a she. Mike straight out says "I've always fancied you" to Tim. Also, Edgar Wright said that "[they] might have ended up getting him together with Dexter or someone like that. Or him just admitting he was gay."

Magic Realism: The show presents an exaggerated, cartoonish, and often subjective reality with extreme camerawork, fast editing, and sound effects. Frequent references to genre films and TV shows also blur the lines of reality, while outright dream sequences and fantasies are also very common. It happens to such an extent it prompts the characters to question if things they thought just happened really did happen, or to comment on the unbelievability of some of the situations they end up in.

Platonic Life-Partners: Tim and Daisy share a flat, and both are single heterosexuals attempting the Masquerade of being a couple, nothing sexual happens between them. The audience's expectations of UST are the source of several misdirection jokes. It's implied that the reason Daisy attempted to move out in the final episode was partially because the UST was becoming unbearable for her, and in the Skip to the End extra, it's confirmed that they are now a real couple with a baby and are still squabbling happily in the same flat.

"Friends" Rent Control: Although the apartment is significantly smaller than most sitcom residences, Simon Pegg remarks in the documentary "Skip to the End" what a big joke it was that they could rent such a place for £90/week.

Cut Apart: The first scene appears to be Tim and Daisy splitting up, with Tim shouting up to Daisy's window. We see at the end of the scene that the two characters are talking to different characters, as Tim leaves.
