Spaced/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** The use of [[VCR|VCRs]] and [[VHS]] (especially noticeable for their use for porn), the knowledge of the existence of the internet but the lack of it in Tim and Daisy's flat (not yet easily affordable or worth paying for) - also, the old trope of kids getting their first porn from magazines abandoned by others.

** The presence of mobile phones, but only as a symbol of wealth/importance/success (Duane and Damian Knox have mobiles, Tim and Daisy only use the landline in their flat or payphones, Brian only uses one whilst pretending to be a lawyer).

** ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' came out between seasons, specifically "eighteen months ago": early on Duane, played by the same actor that voiced Darth Maul, [[Actor Allusion|echoes one of his few lines]] from the trailer; later, mention of the film is a [[Berserk Button]] for Tim.

** The use of Polaroid cameras; little background things like ''[[Pokémon]]'' merchandise in the comic book store, with an "Ancient Mew" card clearly visible under the counter and advertisements for bands such as [[Coldplay]] and [[Muse (band)|Muse]] playing smaller venues than they would today.
