Mighty Boosh . . .

Posted by rantingandrambling on Tue, May 13, 2008

I finally get it, and am now totally obsessed.

So, for those who haven’t seen The Mighty Boosh, I really can’t describe it.  Seriously.  It’s impossible.  It’s far too bizarre to describe and, honestly, it’s not for everyone.  I wasn’t sure what to make of it at first, even after having watched the entire first season.  But then I spent a bored Sunday sifting through youtube and stumbled across a documentary about how they met and started performing together, and it kind of all started to make sense.  Now I’m totally in love with all things Boosh . . . even Bollo (who’s a gorilla) who I wasn’t too sure of in the beginning.

As bizarre and colorful and fantastical as The Mighty Boosh is, it’s the back-and-forth between Howard Moon and Vince Noir (played by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding) that is, in my opinion, the best part of the show.  Well, that and Vince’s fashion sense – not all men can pull off a silver sequin jumpsuit with knee-high white boots.  Or a seaweed wig and pink tutu.

Here are some clips:

And from their television show:
