The Mighty Boosh - favourite moments

ndrly · #1 01-26-2009, 04:16 AM

So I recently got all three seasons (so far) of the Mighty Boosh for Christmas, and watched all the episodes. I think it is one of the funniest shows in recent years, but that is usually the case with comedy from the UK.

I consider myself a huge fan of British comedy, and this joins a long line of my favourite series and films within the genre. The Goon Show, Monty Python, The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, The IT Crowd, and now the Mighty Boosh.

Here are some of my favourite quotes, musical numbers, and general moments from the show, ...

*Just about anything with the Hitcher (my favourite character)

*Ice floe, nowhere to go! Ice floe, nowhere to go!

*The running gag in Tommy - "We all die. Or do we die?", etc.

*The Hitcher's rap song.

*When Howard, brainwashed by the Yetis starts singing a hippie song, Naboo says "Don't worry, my mind's like a fortress"...and then HE JOINS IN!!! It was also funny to see Vince thinking, "what the hell?" and joining in too.

*Rudi and Spider's New Sound song that sounds kind of like a cross between U2 and Soundgarden (the Day I Tried To Live)

*Tony Harrison

*"I love the chosen one/I stick my fingers up his bum"

*Old Gregg's obsession with Howard.

*The Eels song

*"I Did a **** on Your Mum", where Vince's singing style devolves from Johnny Rotten to scat singing.

*Future Sailors

*When Howard and Vince decide to do a Medieval bit, and are booed by the audience.

*Crimpity, crimpity, **** YOU

*The Crack Fox

*The Bouncy Bouncy song

If there are any Boosh fans here, feel free to post! Though there might be more British and Aussie fans than US fans.

I love future sailors as well. Oh and the Hitcher scares the hell outta me

The best episode is the one on the island with the coconuts

"This is black magic. This is hardcore. Don't mess with the occult!"
"I thought it was good for you?"
"What?"
"Well, you know, good for your digestive system."
"That's Yakult!"

Charlie was made of a million pieces of old bubble gum, Imagine that!!

Dixon! When was it last? Crakatoa, '62. We stayed on an extra day for the hanging. My how she struggled, it's as if she didn't want to die. HAHAHAHAHA what a wedding!

Does anyone know where to get the DVD's coded for american players? I only have season one and i'm pretty sure its bootlegged...

I heard that Americans will be able to watch it on Adult Swim in a month or two. Maybe they'll release DVD's as well.

To my knowledge, the Venture Brothers hasn't aired in Australia (at least not on SBS where it would most likely be) but it's on DVD here. So is Metalocalypse.

I hope the Americans don't ruin it by making their own version, like they did with the Office and Kath and Kim.

They only do it because they don't understand the British humour. Most Americans are as stupid as their last president.

Does this mean that because I like and understand British humour, I'm smarter than most of my countrymen? I'm not that bright, but most of what I watch is on BBC America. Our last president was no genious, but I don't believe humour/wit has much to do with I.Q. I know some rather dense people who love monty python. And the fact that our school system has pretty much evaporated can't really be factored in here either...

Edit: I agree though, there's no way an American version could in any way match the original.
