* CreatorThumbprint: The film includes a number of nods to [=RedLetterMedia=] running gags:
** Space Cop screeches "Oh my god!" just like Rich Evans will often do in RLM videos.
** Space Cop and Cooper resolve to go somewhere and then start marching away with comically small steps, a very common gag on RLM videos, particularly ''Best of the Worst''



** In a briefing scene, a photo of Jay Bauman's character is said to be 4'9 and "possibly a boy wearing an adult beard costume."

The original Space Cop production was abandoned. While it certainly took a while to finish, it was not in production for nine years. They've mentioned the failed shoot on Pre Rec streams before.

Apparently filmed over a very long time, the first teasers for the film appeared in 2007, and it was released in 2016.

!!Tropes:

* TheCameo: Creator/PattonOswaldt appears as Space Cop's future captain.
* CatchPhrase: Space Cop constantly says, "I'm Space Cop!" and "I come from the future. The future of ''space''."
* CowboyCop: Space Cop routinely blows things up and kills people, which doesn't seem to be that big of a deal in the future, though it does get him "promoted" to Space Traffic Cop.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Cooper's RunningGag of blithely expressing archaic values, such as overt sexism and racism.
* KickedUpstairs: Space Cop is "promoted" to Space Traffic Cop to minimize the damage he can cause. He takes it at face value, stating that it will be more money and less work. It's unclear if he's really getting a promotion or is too stupid to see a demotion for what it is.
* OverlyLongGag: Two in the future:
** Space Cop spends about a minute of screen time punching in the combination to open his refrigerator.
** Space Cop's captain struggles to close the communication window while Space Cop just stares blankly at him.
