This is such a beautiful show. So witty, so deep, a cascade of creative settings and dialogues. The interactions between the characters feels fresh, like something not seen before, an inside jokeof sorts. If you are lucky enough not to have seen it, enjoy! Was thinking what else to say with my remaining lines without giving any spoilers away...the mighty boosh for me is about adventure and magic, and reminds me a lot of the cartoon show adventure time. It also has glimpses of flight of the conchords. Yet ultimately, there are some scenes that just stand in a class of their own. The episodes get progressively better and they all contain an original angle.

Off-beat, surreal, comedy brilliance.The lives and times of Howard Moon (played by Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding). Season 1 sees them working at a zoo while going on all manner of weird and wacky adventures. By Season 2, they're living with a shaman and a gorilla...Incredibly funny, in a weird, absurdist sort of way. Some of the skits and jokes are incredibly left-field, but they work! In some cases you need to know a bit about modern culture (eg a knowledge of the works of Gary Numan or Bryan Ferry might come in handy) but this just makes it even more interesting, and bizarre.

When I first saw this show I just did not know what to think of it. I was confused by what was happening and who the characters were and what exactly "The Mighty Boosh" was or perhaps who it was. I was rather sure the show was just to out there and bizarre, but then I caught more episodes and it all just started coming together as I learned that the title of the show referred to the two main guys' band. I also began to understand the main gist of the show as it mainly consisted of Howard who seems like an everyday fellow that nothing really right happens for him and the strange Vince who can catch fish just by whistling while poor Howard is getting nothing. It also has completely insane plots that are very funny as they must go camping and avoid being sexually assaulted by bigfoot type creatures or when they are on their fishing trip one of them gets kidnapped by a half man, half fish Ole Greg with his mangina. They also have a couple of buddies that include a strange fortune teller type person and a talking gorilla. Yes, this show is hardly routine, but it is funny and you never know quite where it is going. Both actors in the lead roles do their part well, and even the jokes are really strange at times for the most part they are really funny. I can not believe it only lasted 21 episodes which is kind of a bummer, but then it makes for any easy show to collect on DVD.

Why is it that so many comedies today are funny because some other trendy media has told them it's funny? The NME (a British magazine devoted to bands like Razorlight and the Kooks and other talentless bands) always has these arseholes on it's cover, and from watching it, I can see that the trendy one was the kind of douche who sat in his university refectory playing his guitar with a bunch of other bottom-feeders sat round him, and actually longs to be a musician, but, being a studenty tosser who is devoid of talent, decided to fall back on his "kooky" sense of humour. He's funny because he's trendy, not because he's funny, like for example, Vic and Bob, who these two are clearly trying to be the "next" of, minus actual humour. The other guy, with the 'tashe, I can assume likes offbeat and left-bank humour, and could possibly have potential if he wasn't in a band-wagon comedy. Someone said that they seem to spend more time trying to look cool than be funny and that is hitting the nail square on the head. But that's what the NME is all about, as long as it fits with their image of "cool", they are funny/a good band. The jokes/songs are secondary to looking cool.
