| | Customer Reviews: Chinese cheese in a cockrels boot (26 July 2008)The more i watch this the less i like it , vince/fielding is a tosser and the other one is worse , naboo/fielding m. is just awful. Leave it for the 13 yr old girls and the (puke) students. Not bad (25 July 2008)Be Honest well directed, and not bad my best bad guy was Jack Frost. Excellent set, nice monkey. I laughed it bit it was good ps i liked the newer one but have only seen 2 episodes. Good actors but i prefer the one with the chin fluff not the mod eek. Nabu was spot on very funny, The zoo was convincing like buckfastleigh if the girls ran out of razor blades and could not shave for a year yep wild and hairy and sometimes quite scary. Not bad at all. Can't compare it to anything else out there... (20 July 2008)...because it is unique. Hypnotic and dreamy, the episodes are more like a trance than tightly-structured compositions. Well done to the guys, they have created a new genre! Almost a comedy classic, but it sells out to 'trendy teens' and ends up overrated. (13 July 2008)The show has a great selection of characters and and some great laughs, but it falls short of greatness by doing the awful 'trendy teen' comedy far too often whereby a few forced "random" things are strung together and given no real joke. Now don't get me wrong there are some really really good jokes in here and it's needed a watch, but it's gotten into the habbit of relying on people to laugh at the things just because the characters say it, and not because it's funny. So: Funny?: Yes. Just not all the time. Original?: To a point, but it gets old rather quickly. (Highlights include the mirror world and old greg) ------------------------------- If you liked this check out the far superior Darkplace. Absolut Rubbish (05 July 2008)The Mighty Boosh is not funny simply because it has to try so hard to be surreal that it is a wonder it does not implode under the strain. Now let me make this clear. My favorite comedies include the office, the IT crowd, Peep Show and of course Monty Python. I veer towards the absurd and stupid in my tastes and have just discovered Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, which is possibly the funniest show in the history of tv comedy as far as I am concerned. The Mighty Boosh is a complete laugh free zone. The closest thing I can compare it with is the Basil Brush show, the one shown in recent years on the BBC. The tone and humour are pretty much the same but with swearing. Mind you, Basil Brush is funnier. It must be because I laughed at it once but have watched the Boosh and not yet even raised a smile. In a word, pathetic. Noel Fielding is funny without the other bloke though. |
