American Reacts | SPACED | Gatherings Season 1 Episode 2 | REACTION

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

"Did they just smoke weed or did they f*** too?" No, they just cleaned the living room.

[@grahambuckerfield4640]

After shagging and a conventional cigarette afterwards, though they do casually skin up joints throughout the series which then was unusual, without comment or a plot point.

[@mikem3846]

@@grahambuckerfield4640 There was no shagging. They cleaned the flat, had a fag and then cleaned the teapot.

[@david-flint]

They didn't have sex. That wasn't a post coital cigarette it was a post cleaning cigarette which was the gag. Look at the video again paying attention to the tidiness of the room before and after.​@@grahambuckerfield4640

[@Paul_PlanetbeerTV]

@@grahambuckerfield4640 No. They literally just cleaned the living room. That's the joke

[@WinstonSmith19847]

I like a good clean of the living room pwahhhhh !!!

[@GreyHulk2156]

The mashed potato Tim is sculpting, and the ending, are references to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[@Lostboy-007]

Probably the best series we ever made

[@ericlayton8888]

Found Edgar Wright’s secret account

[@mikemoore4033]

In case you don’t know, the show’s Mike (fantastic name) is in the TA, which is the UK’s Territorial Army, roughly the equivalent of the US National Guard.

[@awall1701]

I love 'Spaced', I tend to binge watch it every few years. So pleased that you are enjoying the series.

[@mikatile]

It makes a few references to 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind` including the end and the mashed potato.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

The "artist" in basement, Mark Heap, is hilarious in David Mitchell's series "UPSTART CROW" with Mitchell as a neurotic Shakespeare...and Heap as his Nemesis, Lord Green (A failed playwright) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ITS A GOOD ONE!!!!

[@johnmayhew9769]

Paper boy, Tony Way, was also in Black Books. “I see it as a reference to Christo, the artist”. “Really? I see it as a waste of Baco, the foil”… Christo was a 60s pop artist, famous/notorious for wrapping huge things like the German Reichstag and miles of Australian coastline! 🤔 Bacofoil is a UK brand of oven foil equivalent to Reynolds Wrap.

[@samguberman2288]

Superb writing, one of the funniest comedies ever. Wait till you see the episode when they go clubbing.

[@suddenlyfrogs1906]

The Paper Boy/After Life etc guy was also in Black Books as the Cinema ticket guy and at the tills in the fast food place Bernard works in for however long it was.

[@contrast-ratio]

Can't wait for you to see Tyres 🤣

[@simonbru1]

You owe me twenty quid.

[@iggzistentialism8458]

The missed joke and awkward moment at 00:21:00 was because in the 90s ecstacy was everywhere. She thought the mint was an E.

[@stuartmcivor2276]

11:16 This was a reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind where the main character sculpts the Devil's Tower out of mashed potato.

[@mikedown1250]

and the end with the bright lights and shapes

[@RaceDayReplay]

get me a geodetic survey map of Wyoming!

[@rickb.4168]

His messing with the mash potato and the ending is from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" P.S. it just keeps getting better and better.

[@Wadyface]

Was just going to comment that. Ha

[@minophis]

@@Wadyface Same

[@paulmidsussex3409]

Dun Dah Dun Dah Doh

[@furrypotato]

The series is riddled with movie references so you need to shout out the name anytime you notice one :) There was a DVD version i had where the subtitles were just the movie names showing for each reference.

[@marco_cee_]

5:40 No, the joke is that they cleaned the room, hence the fact the place is completely clear and tidy, vacuum cleaner in shot etc.

[@IanHopkinson-lu8xo]

Dont worry. It starts to pick right up now. Especially now Mike's is involved and you've afew surprises in store from now on

[@Dave8T9]

There's a funny story Nick Frost tells where in this show he needed to be able to disassemble and reassemble a gun blindfolded so he took the prop home to practice. He was wearing headphones so he could focus on the feel of the gun as he tore it down and built it back up and when he took off the blindfold he was surrounded by armed police. Someone had seen him taking the gune in to his house and reported him. The way he tells it, the police told him if he had moved they were going to shoot him

[@JohnScott-Ashtree]

Holy Moley. I have lots of social media US friends that I've never met, but I'm in communication with most of them. I think you're definitely my all time fave social media US friend that I've not!

[@malcy86]

The guy you've seen in a bunch of stuff is Tony Way. He's in EVERYTHING and rightly so!

[@MGrayl-ib5fo]

A fantastic British comedy that nobody seems to have reacted to yet is "Coupling"!

[@alanthesheep]

Keep an eye out for all the movie references. The mountain out of mash potatoes for example was a reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. There are loads more to come.

[@MrEddHard]

My favourite series. Spent so many evenings at uni watching this.

[@furrypotato]

More watch suggestions- The League Of Gentlemen (not rhe movie). Truly one of the greatest comedies produced. And after that, the massivly popular 'Inside number 9'

[@JamesLMason]

I must be one of the few people who loved the movie. League of Gentlemen, Psychoville and Inside no. 9 are all great though.

[@Lostboy-007]

Thanks boomer the wait between the episodes is killing me though 🍿💪🏻🤙🏻

[@cmcculloch1]

on patreon he dropped season 2 ep1 yesterday

[@al81yoo]

'Killing you'...😂

[@jordanlyons8453]

Mad to hear ‘East Finchley’ in this episode from Simon Peg as I grew up in East Finchley. Love Spaced, hilarious.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

GREAT COMEDY. ME AND MY SON ENJOYED IT WHEN IT WAS ON BBC AMERICA.😂😂😂😂😂

[@ianalsop5080]

If you had the dvd version the extra subtitles show every time they are referring to something and show what it's referring to. Also one of the girls who comes in with Mike is Simon Pegs sister.

[@ennesshay5040]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind !!

[@standavies9021]

The scene with the fridge (called Kal 900) was from 'A Space Odyssey' during which the ships computer (HAL 900) became 'self aware'. Interesting fact, they got the name HAL from IBM which was a pioneering computer company (letters are shifted down one, I becomes H and so on).

[@jeanlafayette7152]

The scriptwriter and director have both denied the IBM thing. The official explanation is that HAL was derived from the term 'Heuristic Algorithm'.

[@GreyHulk2156]

20:18 - Yes indeed, that's Tony Way. He has a very expressive face. That expression being "I am finding this tedious". ;P

[@mradriankool]

When you get the resident evil marathon ep, that was the spark that Shaun of the Dead was born from

[@59jalex]

Benchwarmers is my favourite baseball movie. 😂

[@honkchisel]

Close Encounters Reference

[@slipperyweezel]

Really glad youre doing these

[@alistairmcdougall9625]

The series gets much funnier as you go on 👌

[@WalkerTrips]

The Resident Evil episode was the best... and the rave night. You'll cry laughing there.

[@gavinblackwell8224]

Great Series with lots of references. Invasion of the body snatchers, pulp fiction and Close encounters of the third kind feature in this episode. The next episode is the inspiration for Shaun of the dead. Simon was a massive George A. Romero fan and loves Night of the living dead. Such a fan, he even fanboys his way into Land of the dead, playing a Zombie.

[@nacekozo]

I forgot about Twist! She's the best ...

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

DAISY ACTRESS IS IN "W1A" with HUGH BONNEVILLE. VERY FUNNY SERIES ABOUT WORKING AT BBC. SHE'S IN "SHAUN OF THE DEAD"

[@adrianogden951]

This episode does indeed flag somewhat compared to the first, but it was all about awkwardness so maybe that's kind of how it was meant to feel. But yes, it does get better again after this.

[@David-j9h9g]

Marsha was the landlady of the pub in hot fuzz

[@adamread5161]

Also famously liked Alan Partridge “sex-wise”

Johnny Vegas TV series Ideal is a must, never got the credit it deserved. Try that King Boomer.

You may also recognise The Paperboy from Edge Of Tomorrow. He’s gotta be free man!

20:45 was he Ser Dontos in game of thrones as well?

"TWIST". FUNNY NAME!!!!

[@davidmonaghan26]

Paperboy was also in game of thrones

[@nacekozo]

I used to love Spaced - it reminded me of my time living in London in the 90s, working out what I was going to do with my life... it's still good, but a little dated :)

[@RaceDayReplay]

21:18 Reservoir Dogs

[@dun0790]

There's a genre called baseball films 😅

[@TheWatson83]

Nick used to do a hilarious series before spaced, called Danger 50000 volts / Danger incoming attack. was like a satire survival tips series. Should be a few episodes on youtube although quality lacks a bit 360p probably your best lol

[@AndyKing1963]

Wait for Tyres

[@jessiechen279]

The 'Paperboy' yes brilliant in 'Afterlife', also the 'Ali G' movie & one the key stars in 'Mongrels' 😉 Think there's an outro to most the episode, you may have missed it or it went in the cut....

[@iainprendergast8311]

Mash potato mound from Close Encounters of the third kind.

[@direnova6284]

There were a few "close encounter" references in this one.

[@matthewhope3664]

I guess you've not seen ''Close Encounters'' then!

[@StephMcAlea]

Have you seen Nick Frost lately?? There's nothing of him!

[@paulmidsussex3409]

You haven't seen Hyperdrive yet. Imagine a British version of the Orville a tenth of the budget and Space Commander Nick Frost.

[@Discombobulate453]

Boomer your mind is in the gutter. Not everything is a sex reference 😂

[@georgecarlinismytribe]

Don't say you've never seen Close Encounters !?

[@galvatron3323]

Space me up im goin in

[@lordy3402]

is he ready for big train?

[@N_Loco_Parenthesis]

First episode was better, but as Kate Bush said, don't give up, King Boomer.

[@James-wp3jq]

No Matt Berry though.

[@MrFox-wn5jt]

Great episode, but probably the weakest of the whole series. Really ramps up a gear in the next episode, and you'll see where the seed for Shaun of the Dead was sown. Also, the "I see it as a waste of Baco, the foil" gets me every damn time.

[@richardheard7606]

The cuts are ruining it. Some great jokes, including the music that comes in when Brian saves Tim and Daisy's bacon when he takes the coat into the bedroom. Cuts make the episode disjointed.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

BASEBALL FAN??? CHECK OUT "EIGHT MEN OUT" ABOUT PLAYERS "BLACK SOX" WHO THREW THE WORLD SERIES IN 1919. SHOELESS JOE JACKSON WAS INNOCENT, BUT BANNED FROM THE GAME.GAMBLING WAS WHAT CAUSED IT.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[@thatschilltssk6274]

Trump winning and a new reaction to Spaced! Could this week get any better?

[@maxdamagusbroski]

If you bought bitcoin before the election, yes.

[@stephenclarke2206]

Would have thought Channel 4 90's comedy was a bit woke & lefty for Trump supporters

[@nasalprolapse]

Skip to the end….
