Space Goofs (or Home To Rent to you Brits) 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.

Stupid Invaders, a video game based on the series was released a few years after the show itself ended.

Tropes used in Space Goofs include:

Acid Reflux Nightmare: After eating too many sweets, Gorgious has a nightmare where he gambles for his teeth.
Aliens Speaking English
Ambiguously Gay: Candy.
- Word of Gay: Made more blatant in the video game.
Animesque: Parodied in the episode "Manga Mania".
Art Evolution: between the first season in 1997 and the second in 2005, the increase in quality is really obvious.
Bungling Inventor: Etno's spaceships have a tendency to explode.
Butt Monkey:Poor Candy!
Deranged Animation: And that's putting it lightly.
The Ditz: Bud.
Don't Try This At Home: In the Christmas Episode, the aliens are trying to drive Santa Claus away. He tries to slide down the chimney but they light explosives under him. Before they do, they all (including Santa) urge the viewer not to try this at home.
Fat Bastard: Gorgious
Getting Crap Past the Radar: Literally
Hey, It's That Voice!: Maurice La Marche, Charlie Adler and Jeff Bennett
- The guy singing the theme? Iggy freaking Pop.
Ho Yay: Quite a bit.
Humans Are Bastards: Just about every human that comes to the house is either stupid, a jerk or both. Not that the aliens are much better.
Jerkass: Gorgious
Little Green Men: Candy seems like one.
Multiple Head Case: Stereo.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: A bat talks like Christopher Walken.
No Export for You: The Movie is looking like it's going to be a case of this, even though they had the English voice actors in the trailer.
Only Sane Man: Etno.
Put on a Bus: Stereo in the second season, he will comes back especially in 2 episodes.
Refuge in Vulgarity: The video game adaptation Stupid Invaders features adult humor with strong language and a lot of gross moments.
She's a Man In Japan: In the Latin American dub Candy is female.
Sphere Eyes
Springtime for Hitler: The aliens try making the house look as much a dump as possible to dissuade people from moving in. A farmer and his animals then take interest.
Team Mom and Team Dad: Candy and Etno, respectively.
Teens Are Monsters: In one episode, Bud befriends a rather obnoxious human teenager.
They Look Like Us Now: The gang have a machine that makes them look like humans, Earth animals, or even inanimate objects.
The Renaissance Age of Animation
Wholesome Crossdresser: Most of Candy's diguises are women.
You Can't Go Home Again
