RIGHT. The Mighty Boosh is a British Comedy about two blokes - Vince Noir (played by the incredibly ladylike Noel Fielding, see icon) and Howard Moon (played by a lovely big northerner called Julian Barratt). Vince is really physically shallow, but also quite childish and sweet, and he can talk to animals. Howard, on the other hand, sees himself as something of a deep-thinker: he's forever attempting to write poetry or novels, but isn't much smarter than Vince. However, despite all their differences they get on very well. Some might say a little too well, in fact, and most of the villains describe Vince as Howard's wife or, well, basically they LOVE EACH OTHER: (http://photobucket.com) And in real life, too: (http://photobucket.com)
In the first series they're working as zookeepers in a... well, a really bizarre zoo, where there aren't a whole lot of animals. Their manager Bob Fossil is basically an idiot and his boss, Dixon Bainbridge (who he's canonically in love with - in the pilot episode he actually comes out, but never in the series, so someone must have told them to tone the gay down), is an explorer with a terrific moustache and a terrific voice. Look, I'm not explaining it very well, but please go with me on this.
The show's basically about Vince and Howard's little adventures, I can't really explain it because I am rubbish, but er... strangeumbrella and gayjunglefever both like it, so I figure this is a good endorsement? Some reasons why you should love this show: - Bob Fossil's dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzebYwZxzkQ - Julian Barratt's a) legs and b) grin. For some reason I can't find a decent picture of the legs so, here, have a crotchshot: (http://photobucket.com) Grin: (http://photobucket.com) -Vince and Howard often sleep on the floor of the tiny keepers' hut in sleeping bags (proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwRLkDWKhGg&mode=related&search=), plus in one episode they go to the arctic tundra together, stay in a tent and, when they think they're about to die, Howard tells Vince he loves him. What's not to love about that sentence? -There is a lot of excitement. Look, this fanvid is like a really long and awesome trailer, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVZovVCP1UU
I don't know why I decided it would be a good idea to explain anything at all to you, oh dear, I doubt I could explain how to make tea, but do not let my flailings put you off.
Also, I think the only reason I'm imagining a Top Gear/Silent Hill crossover is because I'd like to see Jeremy Clarkson attempting to use sarcasm as an actual proper weapon. Er, I should sit down and stop bothering everyone, sssssssssh me.
Explaining, 1.0
