Space Goofs (Les Zinzins de l'espace in French, and originally Home to Rent in Britain) is a French animated series produced by Xilam (previously known as Gaumont Multimedia) for France 3 that first aired in 1997.It tells the story of five aliens; the intelligent Etno, couch potato Bud, clean freak Candy, gluttonous Gorgious, and two-headed Stereo, who have crashed on Earth and have taken residence in the attic of an old house. Their main tasks are to chase away anybody who takes residence in the old house and try to get back home.Most might remember this played on Fox Kids during the late 90's; as such, it was part of the first batch of programming seen on the newly-formed Fox Family Channel. The show's main theme was written and performed by Iggy Pop, of all people.The series was renewed for a second season that premiered on May 20, 2005, and it also aired on Nicktoons in the UK under the show's official English title in November of that year. Stereo was also Put on a Bus in this season (save for two episodes), and their existence was retconned. The show ended with 104 episodes on May 12, 2006.Stupid Invaders, a video game based on the series was released in 2000. | |

The Artifact | |
| Space Goofs / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The show's Expository Theme Tune still retains the "Five little monsters were riding through space..." part in the Season 2 intro even though Stereo no longer appears in the show, to the point that he's not even in the intro where they're shown crashing into Earth. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Space Goofs / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Stupid Invaders game produced by Ubisoft is noticeably a lot more serious on top of being Ruder and Cruder compared to the show it was based on, despite still retaining its wackiness. The five aliens are constantly hunted by an assassin hired by an Area 52 Mad Scientist that wants to dissect them for his twisted experiments. There's also numerous ways to die in the game as well. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Space Goofs / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: At the start of "Buffalo Blues", Candy describes a sudden protrusion on some sheets that he's hung up as "big, throbbing and wet". He thinks it's Gorgious, blowing his nose on the sheets in question, but it's quickly revealed to be a buffalo instead, kickstarting the episode's plot. | |

The Cameo | |
| Space Goofs / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: In the episode where Etno becomes a Phony Psychic, the antagonists from the video game make an appearance in the line to get their reading. The show also isn't shy about characters from Xilam's other shows getting cameos. A show that Bud watches on TV in an episode is clearly Oggy and the Cockroaches, right down to using the theme music, and Joey, Marky and Dee-Dee make a quick cameo at the start of "Space Sailors". Bud also briefly transforms into Razmo from Ratz near the start of "Buffalo Blues". | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| Space Goofs / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: In "Our Ancestors the Humans", the aliens encounter a tax collector who threatens to take the house's furniture, saying that they owe 23 years of back taxes. They use Etno's time machine to teleport to certain time periods, only for the tax collector to follow them every time. The episode ends with the tax collectors from all four depicted time periods showing up at the aliens' door, much to their chagrin. Similarly, in "Time for a Change", in an attempt to escape their latest tenants (a group of bikers), the aliens (except for Bud) use a time machine to escape to the past. However, they find that the humans in that era are no better than the ones in the present, so they end up traveling back to their own era. The episode ends with them looking out the window in despair while the bikers prepare to move in, as they reluctantly sing "No Place Like Home". | |

Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Candy is essentially the Sensitive Guy to Gorgious's Manly Man. Candy acts like a hammy house-wife, while Gorgious is usually the Jerkass. Similarly, Bud tends to fall into the Sensitive Guy to Etno's Manly Man. | |

The Song Remains the Same: All dubs except for the M�ori dub keep the opening theme song in English.

Butt-Monkey | |

Candy has gone through this the most, becoming more of an exuberantly moody and panicky Butt-Monkey (compared to season 1, where he tries to keep the peace amongst the group). Also, his effeminate traits are dialed up to the maximum. | |

Wife Husbandry: In "Time Traveler", Candy begins to treat the evolved caveman Ug as his own son. When Etno evolves Ug further into a knight, Ug mistakes Candy for a woman and asks for his hand in marriage. When Etno informs him that Candy is his parent and not a fair maiden, Ug gets mad at Candy for his "deceptions" and declares war on the aliens. | |

Big Eater | |

Gorgious mostly remains the same, although his greedy Big Eater behaviors are slightly toned down, depending on the episode writer. He also becomes a bit more of a Jerkass compared to the first season, arguably being more fully aware of his actions. | |

Four-Fingered Hands: Because of the characters being aliens.

| Space Goofs / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: The aliens never manage to return home. Except in the adventure game, where they manage to escape Earth. But that one's dubiously canon, so take it with a grain of salt. "Get Off My Couch!" has the aliens seeing a therapist who manages to get them to drop their obsessive quirks: Candy stops cleaning and decides to write a novel, Gorgious becomes a healthy eater and sheds a lot of weight, and Bud stops watching TV and becomes a musician. Eventually, Etno drives the therapist out of the house and manipulates the other three into going back to the way they were before. Both episodes where Stereo came back in the second season ended with him accidentally being launched off the planet while testing a ship. | |

| Space Goofs / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: At the end of "Doodle", Gorgious flat-out says, "This is such a retarded idea!" after getting roped into cheering up Bud. Also, in "Time for a Change", when Bud tries to warn his friends that using a time machine to escape tenants will "juggle the eggs of fate", they all just laugh at him, with Gorgious adding, "That Bud always says the funniest crap in his sleep!" In "Once Upon a Time", Candy exclaims "Intergalactic damnation!" in response to learning that the group has landed on the human-populated Earth. Not long after, Etno refers to Earth as a "God-forsaken planet". | |

Berserk Button | |
| Space Goofs / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
In "Bats in the Belfry", Candy snaps after being bullied enough by bats. When he chases them away, he chews out the other aliens as well. This moment also counts as a Berserk Button, Unstoppable Rage or a Driven to Madness example. | |

The Last Straw | |
| Space Goofs / int_bcf61e25 | comment |
The Last Straw: In "Bats in the Belfry", Candy snaps after being bullied enough by bats. When he chases them away, he chews out the other aliens as well. This moment also counts as a Berserk Button, Unstoppable Rage or a Driven to Madness example. In "Buy Now, Pay Later", Etno snaps near the end of the episode, after constantly paying the salesman to get rid of several pests in the house. From the Prison Episode, the aliens attempt to get out of the prison built around their house. One attempt involves the aliens making a bridge. When Ernie comes, he is holding an anvil, which is enough for the alien-bridge to collapse and fall. | |

Negative Continuity | |
| Space Goofs / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: Not much seems to stick with this shows in terms of what continues or not. Several episodes end with the alien’s house being severely trashed or destroyed while other episodes end with the aliens being permanently changed into a different form like gnomes or vampire dust only to be inexplicably fine in the next episode. Then there is the issue with Stereo, who was with the other aliens in season one but his involvement was retconned and only makes two appearances in season 2. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| Space Goofs / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Part of the trope's name is used for an episode title. Averted at the end of Stupid Invaders, but played straight at the end of "Welcome!", where it's revealed that all of the humans that the aliens have inadvertently or intentionally sent away using one of Etno's "failed" spaceships ended up sending them to their home planet. Needless to say, the humans are not amused, prompting the aliens to return to earth, instead. | |

Inelegant Blubbering: Candy often does this whenever he's upset, especially during season 2. In "The Thing from Beyond", he dissolves into less than a minute of this when the aliens get lost in the woods. | |

Kubrick Stare: "The Flyling" has Stereo, Candy, Gorgious and Etno pull off these twice: the first time is when Bud struggles to turn off his TV, and the second time occurs when they see Bud and his fly friend (who had been causing trouble for them) breaking down in tears when the fly has to leave. | |

Bad Future: The future in "Rip Van Etno" is this. Candy, Gorgious and Stereo are all dead, cockroaches have become the dominant species and humans have regressed to cockroach-like lifeforms. Bud and Etno are forced to be the golf caddies for a group of angry cockroach men. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Space Goofs / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Between the first season in 1997 and the second in 2005, the increase in quality is really obvious. The main cast were given slight redesigns to appear somewhat more rounded, and human designs were overhauled entirely to better match the updated visuals. They did reuse characters from the first season as background characters, some were given a different voice and personality. (For example, the bespectacled wart-ridden British-accented TV gardening show host became a professional-sounding news anchorman.) Additionally, the animation for season 1 changed within production. The earlier episodes are much more loose and "cartoony" and have a similar style to Bob Clampett, whereas by the second half, the animation becomes a bit tighter. | |

Flanderization | |
| Space Goofs / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: The characters went through this to some degree in season 2. In the French dub, this is especially noticeable with the change of voice actors (except for Gorgious). Etno becomes more self-absorbed and manipulative in season 2. In the French dub, he also loses his English accent (due to changing voice actors). Bud becomes more dumber and addicted to TV than he was in season 1. Candy has gone through this the most, becoming more of an exuberantly moody and panicky Butt-Monkey (compared to season 1, where he tries to keep the peace amongst the group). Also, his effeminate traits are dialed up to the maximum. Gorgious mostly remains the same, although his greedy Big Eater behaviors are slightly toned down, depending on the episode writer. He also becomes a bit more of a Jerkass compared to the first season, arguably being more fully aware of his actions. Also, in the two episodes he does appear in, Stereo's only character trait seems to be arguing with his other head (a trait established in only a few episodes of season 1). | |

Running Gag | |
| Space Goofs / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: When one or more of the main characters use the transforming machine to become humans or whatever, they always pass three different forms before the final transformation—with the third usually being something outrageously over-the-top. In an episode they remain aliens, but Candy becomes huge and muscular with the others looking in awe, in another, Gorgious becomes an egg laid by a chicken who came out of nowhere, in another, the whole group becomes a color coded set of vacuum cleaners and in another they become four stereotypical Chinese men stacked on each other... the list goes on. | |
