Also 3/5, some very funny bits but some boring bits too, felt like Iād seen similar things that I enjoyed more. But that was to do with when I watched it as much as the show itself.
Never really got Shaun properly, 3/5, Hot Fuzz is overrated but still vv funny, 4/5.
Never heard of Big Train in my life. donāt think it exists.
It appears that we are the same person, even down to the scores.
Agreed. Probably my favourite sketch show of all-time buried underneath Spaced
I was like you once, blond hair, scraggly little beard, child like earsā¦
āYouāve gotta have some sympathy for the man!ā
Love that Barry Davies did this.
Pop culture references are not, in and of themselves, funny or clever.
Big Train is comfortably the best thing Simon Pegg has been involved in.
Fully agree! However, I think spaced used them very well alongside clever wordplay, dialogue callbacks, etc. and thatās why it worked so well.
The Worldās End got a bonus point for the soundtrack - so thatās 2 out of 5. That was such a canāt be arsed film.
The thing I liked about Spaced was that it wasnāt just pop culture references for the sake of it. Many shows afterwards have just done that and theyāve been lazy and failed to understand what the team behind Spaced grasped: they got that the way that pop culture references were embedded into a whole generationās vocabulary and outlook on life, and how, for better or worse, it often stood in for regular conversation, which gave the show an emotional truth.
I dunno, always just came across as ālook at these things that I likeā to me
Spaced is one of the greatest shows ever, perfect ending, gives Simon Pegg a free pass for all the terrible films he does for life - 5
Shaun of the Dead - very good but the tonal shifts always felt a bit weird - 4
Hot Fuzz - great, tonal shifts work better here - 5
The Worldās End - everyone here hates it, I quite enjoy it though - 3 or 4
Iām usually rubbish at remembering funny lines from stuff but āDonāt forget to wash your sheetsā¦and your penisā always stuck with me.
Was 16 when I watched Spaced S1.
Decided all I wanted to do after uni was spend moody evenings in a flatshare in North London with some weirdos who would eventually become my best friends.
Best Spaced character

Brian isnāt just the best character in Spaced, heās one of the all time greatest comic creations of all time. Fully rounded, and brilliantly realised by Mark Heap.
Daisy: I split up with my boyfriend
Marsha: Oh well, I canāt say Iām surprised. I heard Tim shouting at you a couple of nights ago, I was shocked.
Daisy: What?
Marsha: You stupid cow. Something about a key. You canāt shoot straight you big-titted bitch.
Daisy: (Laughs) No no, that was Lara Croft.
Marsha: It sounded like Tim.
Did like spaced a fair bit. I guess I find Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright annoying and Iām not really into people talking about Star Wars and stuff but liked spaced at the time. I prefer Hot Fuzz to Shaun of the dead. Not seen big train since I was a baby boy. I get big train confused with smack the pony. But I liked smack the pony.
