Hypothesis: The Mighty Boosh isn't comedy, its a platform for two cocks with haircuts to get onto the front cover of NME Magazine Argument: Saying "random" things is not funny, its lazy and has been done before to much more humerous effect by Monty Python. I have tried watching a whole episode and didnt laugh once. Youngster should know better, because they're to blame for everyone hyping this shit up no end. It pisses me off that this generation perfers something because it's cool and trendy rather then because it's actually funny. Conclusion: Watch it with other people and you'll notice they tend to just nervously laugh because they think they should do. The idiot generation lap it up with their "oh he's on acid he is so kerazy and a comedy genius". Well I've had funnier shits. |

No, I like 'The Mighty Boosh' because I find it really funny and because it's my kind of comedy. I also find 'Monty Python' and 'Look Around You' and other daft bizarre shows funny. You know, there's not that much surrealist comedy out there, and there is room for the Boosh AND Monty Python (and a couple of others.) I didn't like the third series much, but the first two were charming, utterly ridiculous, imaginative, and genuinely funny. I first saw the Mighty Boosh on a plane and didn't even know what it was - it was the Old Greg episode - but it did everything right and I fell in love with it. I kind of wish it hadn't been hyped up since then, but oh well; what goes on outside doesn't change the content of the actual episodes, does it? Who cares if its fans are shitty and who cares if Noel is a bit of a twat? I like it because it's fucking fun to watch and I'm a fan of the absurd anyway (unfortunately, they've dumbed down the more absurd elements in the newest series...) The radio series is also great. If you prefer traditional punch lines or comedy that centres around sex or awkward social situations avoid it and watch those instead. |

*I think punch lines and comedies involving awkward social situations are also goodgreat, though. 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', 'The Office', 'Peep Show', etc. All lovely! Depends what mood you're in. |

Old Greg is a sheer work of genius. Baileys, crustacean-ified wife, mangina, and the incarnation of the 'funk'. Genius. |

comedy is so awful now. nobody can go on stage without swearing for a cheap laugh. it's so tiresome. I mean for god sake, who actually pays to watch drivel like gervais, carr, brand, that arsehole who never smiles and all the others. it's comedy by numbers. it's like going to the doctor for a bunyon - ooh, today I want to smile - I'll pay to watch people swear hahaha people will watch practically anything these days and laugh at it. sheep I tell you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
despite the fact gervais is actually hilarious! i mean.. what the fuck are you on about? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe if you were talking about him just trying to get a laugh from the shock value, but.. come on. ricky gervais is a gun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never seen any Carr's performence. What you say i quite dissapointing, because I found his "Put smarties tubes on cats legs make them walk like robots" feat from QI hilarious. |

I'm an English Literature undergrad; I know how it's spelt. The reason I have it spelt the way it is, incorrectly, is out of homage to my favorite artist Delerium. BarcodeI whole-heartedly agree with you. Even Gervais, who is brilliant in the Office, was a total flop doing stand-up comedy from my point of view. 'Animals wasn't bad (Anne Frank vs Nazis sequence was amusing, but far from genius) however I thought 'Fame' was woeful. |
||||||||

Your favorite artist is: Delerium As in the shit spin off from Front Line Assembly? If you have such low standards for your music why should we care about your opinions on anything else. |

People were saying that 20 years ago. It's pretty much like the "these kids nowadays blah blah venom angst" rant of the older gen... it was the same 200 years ago and will be the same in another 200. I didn't see you as being that old, though maybe a tad pedantic. = P |

I love English comedies. I like the idea of the Boosh more than the actual jokes. I like how they combine rock and roll psychedelic with comedy. Very ground breaking.. For when I really want to laugh though I usually turn to real time with Bill Maher, south park, The Colbert Report. Um, I like to keep abreast of British comedies on UKnova, but I haven't found anything that makes me really belly laugh. The brass eye series was great, I loved people like us. A lot of the stuff in England lately seems to be panel discussion shows with comics and quasi famous people. Anything really good I should be looking for? I never got around to watching any partridge. I should check that out. |

Yeah go for it! Alan Partridge is brilliant... start with the Day Today and then get the 2 series. |

Try 'Catterick' too. |

What's age got to do with it. I like toilet humour along with the best of them, but it's how it's presented. It seems that nowadays they're swearing to fill a void - that being ideas. It was the cheap laugh 200 years ago and will be a cheap laugh in another 200 years. Trouble is that comedy is now utterly awash with vulgarity - so the effect of swearing on the senses has become completely and utterly redundant. It's like anything in life, you keep repeating and repeating and repeating people are going to get bored. Unfortunately it takes a looonggg time for people to get fed up, because the masses are so mechanical in their thinking. They want to be entertained, so they pay their money and laugh at any old dung, because thats what they're supposed to do. |

swearing has very little to do with the acts you mentioned though, or in fact comedy in general. swearing is a small part of the descriptive manner in which comedians project their jokes, and are only a result of current social etiqutte. however, finding vulgarity in the substance of a joke told by Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown etc, i would understand. i done did a lol at the complaints of cheap laughs at vulgarity, when i looked at your avatar. |

Fine. i wasn't saying humour was the same 200 years ago, i meant that older generations have always thought of the younger one as 'the worse'. But yeah, fair enough, thanx for sharing your views. i remember about 20 years ago the whole swearing humour thing was a big issue... bye bye Corbett and co, welcome the era of swearing. |
||||||||

edit: 'the worse' as in: "Oooh these kids nowadays don't know how to live anymore" etc.. the worst batch yet. i'm wandering away from the point though.. I like the mighty boosh, i think it's quite creative and rather funny. Haven't seen season 3 yet. |
