I know liking the mighty boosh has all sorts of negative studenty "I'm craaaazzzy and surreal!"-type baggage, but I really can't help but find it funny. Like "Look Around You" and "Spaced", it's got exactly the sort of daft, inoffensive, bizarre humour I love, and the interplay between the two main characters is especially entertaining. Looking forward to the third series.

the mighty boosh 3rd series, and the second in the "life on mars"series are two of the things that will make 2007.

I haven't heard the radio series, but I thought the second series was more inventive and amusing than the first.

I might just be warped by having heard the radio series first, and I probably know it off by heart. they sound like they just had improvised conversations where they tried to make the storyline more bizarre just to make the other one laugh. then TV series 1 was mostly just slightly more stale versions of those shows. I liked bolo when he didnt make sense, could he speak or not?=lol and bob fossel too. naboo is just a bit shit. they should just base it more on absurd banter rather than going to craaazy new places and meeting craaazy new people every time. I dunno. second series was still good, old greg is a great invention. yeh

"Darker and more obscure" sounds good.
I like the musical references, like in the first series Vince snipes at Howard by calling face plain and boring and "ambient, like The Orb's third album."

oh and on the subject of the mighty boosh. its alright. going to see it live ruined it for me though. i had a great time while i was there, thought they were awesome and whenever anything went wrong they handled it really well. perhaps a little TOO well... my mate went to see them again and said that every little bit had been scripted, every accident and mistake. for some reason that really pissed me off.

I had a very similar experience. cant say it really ruined it for me but as I said above their improvised conversations were what I really wanted to see. I'll have to check out the live dvd sometime.

Hmmm, that interesting. I don't mind. When i saw it it was still very funny. I watched the dvd of it the other day. It wasn't quite as funny. Still good though.

green wing. although they rely on that slow down speed up camera trickery too much.

I just watched the Boosh live DVD. It was funny, but it seemed a lot darker than the tv series. I don't mind lots of swearing and jokes about having sex with the stumps of severed heads, but one thing I enjoyed about the series was it's focus on being bizarre and daft rather than shocking. The moon shouldn't swear! Hearing him say "fuck" and the fact that he needed a wank felt a bit forced and out-of-place imho.
There were still a lot of great moments, though...

I love the Mighty Boosh. I really liked the introductions they did in the first series and I wish they had done it for the second one.

The other thread that was here a few days ago got me interested, and because I had a few days off I thought I would check it out. I've watched all of series 2 and 3, and most of series 1.
And I like it :)
Favourite episode is probably "The Party". Favourite character is Bollo or Naboo (or Ian Harrison).
Ha! I feel like a 12 year old!

Can anyone recommend their absolute favorite episode of this show? The couple clips I watched on youtube didn't seem very funny. Not un-funny, just not as hilarious as people like to make it seem.

"Bollo" i think was my favourite, with monkey-hell.

I think it's quite character-based, I mean it'll seem funny once you know Howard Moon and what he's about, as well as Vince...
