Got a young one here. Try 40 years.

  Not what you meant, but The Young Ones was 40 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Ones_(TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Ones_(TV_series)

  Are you telling me this is NOT Portal 2?
  • dylan604 5y ago
    Yes, the original reference is not Portal. I don't even know what Portal 2 looks like not being a gamer, but the spaaaaace reference is much older than Portal 2 and possibly older than the people that created Portal 2.

      In the final scene of Portal 2, a robot that was obsessed with going to space [1] drifts across the background and interrupts the villain, screaming "spaaaaaace!" out of excitement for finally being in space. The Portal usage is probably not related to the Lost/Pigs in Space usage. [1]: https://youtu.be/BVn1oQL9sWg https://youtu.be/BVn1oQL9sWg

  Unless you're talking about The Young Ones, what "spaaaaace" reference is claimed for 40yo ?
  • dylan604 5y ago
    I took zargon's comment to mean that the person implying the reference was only 10 years old was self identifying them self as a youngin without realizing it.

      .....Ah. The possibility of someone being on HN born AFTER Portal 2 didn't even occur :-(
