The Mighty Boosh

Has anyone else been watching this funny as hell comedy show on BBC3? It's the funniest programme I've seen since the first 2 series of League of Gentlemen.

The hugely talented Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding bring a classic double act bang up to date. Playing zookeepers Howard Moon and Vince Noir, they battle with authority figures, Zoo-Niverse owner Dixon Bainbridge and his Manager Bob Fossil. Frequently coming to their aid with his mystical powers is zoo kiosk worker and local shaman, Naboo (Nice name.

Vince is a regular 'Mowgli in flares' due to his affinity with animals and adoration for all things Seventies, whereas Howard likes to think he is more the brains of their zookeeping outfit, destined for better things.

Vince and Howard are the unsuspecting heroes of The Mighty Boosh where an adventure to the Arctic to find a mystical lost egg - or taking part in a boxing match against a killer kangaroo - are pretty average every-day occurrences. The boys embark on an exciting array of magical and hilarious adventures. They encounter a variety of original and imaginative characters from the white wastelands of the Arctic Tundra to the Australian desert, the depths of the jungle and literally to Hell and back.

Funniest line of the series:

Vince: Howard, do you know the black bits in banannas?

Howard: Yeah?

Vince: Are they tarantula eggs?

You really have to watch this show to get it. I highly recommed it for the type of people that vomit from their eyes if made to watch "My Family" or the like.

 

Gah, Sky bunny!

*Will watch it when lying in a coma around a mates who has sky*

It's impossible to feel unhappy in a poncho

 

Sounds good. Haven't watched TV for months, but I'll look out for it

 

Gah, Sky bunny!

Get Freeview and then you can watch BBC 3, and you ain't paying for Sky

 

Don't forget "The Spirit of Jazz".

Howard, a frustrated Jazz musician wishes he could sell his soul to be a great Jazz man. A demon (kind of a cross between Papa Lazzaroo and Lorne) appears in front of Howard, wearing a while suit and hat. The top of the hat is on fire, similar to that guy out of "I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you FIRE" video.

Jazz: What is it you wish?
Howard: I want to be the best Jazz musician in all of Yorkshire.
Jazz: Yorkshire? What is Yorkshire?
Howard: Yorkshire is a state of mind.
Jazz: New Orleans, Yorkshire, its all the same to me.

Howard signs a contract and Jazz goes to leave the club.

Jazz: HA HA! You fool, now I own your soul. Everytime you pick up an instrument, i'm going to be playing you like a glove, like a gl... OWWWE!! (throws his hat down to the ground)
Why didn't you tell me my hat was on fire?
Howard: I thought you were going for a look?
Jazz: What? Are you insane? Now i've ruined my exit and everything.
