Chad Sexington Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 On the back of the Mrs Brown's Boys thread, could this show rival it for Unfunniest Heap of Dung 2012? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaOLYUR8Kps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The more I see of him the less inclined I am to keep watching, but he appears to be attracting a following and getting TV exposure. No idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckauskas Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 So, he's just moved The Mighty Boosh to Channel 4, dropped the cast and removed any hint of plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like breaking into the wacky dressing up box and slavering pish gets you a chanel 4 gig now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory House M.D. Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 His programmes have cult followings Find him quite funny on Buzzcock sometimes but all his shows are shite I saw the Mighty Boosh live on the tele one night and it was the biggest lot of shite ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him on panel shows and things like that and i like him in the IT Crowd but the mighty boosh is awful and this new show looks even worse.

peter_hmfc Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sorry, saw the title and I clicked on this thinking it was the "Leith Bursds" thread. Also, the shows looks utter s**te and Noel Fielding is an arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Noel Fielding is good on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and in the IT Crowd but this show looks absolutely terrible, seen a few trailers/adverts on E4. Definitely going to give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenbo Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The guy is like marmite. I loved mighty boosh, but havent seen his new show yet. Cant help but feel that it will be a poor imitation to the boosh. And majority of comments here seem to reinforce that thought. Shame, as I really like Fieldings humour.

Johanes de Silentio Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Saw a couple of trailers for this - not the slightest bit interested in watching the show. Shame, because The Mighty Boosh was genius. Chick-a-chick-ah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:shitwine: Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It looks about as entertaining as Tramadol Nights - which was beyond awful. I agree with the view that Fielding is funny on Buzzcocks, etc but The Mighty Boosh isn't my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfstar Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I liked the first 2 seris of the mighty boosh, some of it was great comedy. The third seris was very poor and that show last night was one of the worst things I have ever seen. That show last night is what happens when you give someone alot of money, lsd and a camera.

Locky Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I like Noel Fielding at times on Buzzcocks but even the arse has been drawn out of that now.

Dano307 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm a big fan of the Mighty Boosh but this new show was just pushing the randomness boundaries a bit too far!

You always got the feeling that JB was the one keeping the whole thing from turning into a self-indulgent chugfest. His neurotic, uptight persona was a brilliant couterpoint to NF's pretentious dandy. I know a lot of people hated the Boosh but it really worked, imo.

As much as I think that Barret was the brains behind The Boosh, Fielding was excellent when playing characters like The Hitcher and The Spirit of Jazz.

Yeah, I'd go along with that. He's clearly talented. His problem here seems to be that he's been given a free hand to indulge himself...with harrowing and disturbing results.

Any knowledge as to whether Barrett was involved in this mess in any way? I get the impression that Fielding has had money thrown at him since his profile-boosting Buzzcocks gig.

Yeah definately. Dont get me wrong i think hes hilarious but i think hes played on his 'weird personality' to much and thought he'd get away with it.

Have you seen his stand up? he was on at the apollo once and i thought that was pretty funny Haven't seen him properly in stand-up mode, but I don't imagine I'd like it much. I genuinely wonder if Barrett and Fielding might have a Lennon-McCartney thing going on - brilliant together, but less so without each other? Fielding is clearly more comfortable in the limelight than Barratt, who doesn't seem at all comfortable with media attention. Could be a factor, maybe? I'm guessing, tbh.

I think you're right about the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. The two guys who wrote red dwarf have been pretty honking when separated but much better together. I'd also say that, like so many artists, the boosh probably struggled after the first two series because they'd been able to build on stuuf they'd done on radio and stage for years (any boosh fans should pick up the radio show). the third series was much weaker and a big part of that will be the lack of a public sounding board and extended gestation. remove those two elements and the jazz stylings of Howard moon and you end up with noel's e4 chug-o-rama.

Carl Spackler Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The Mighty Boosh was excellent. I've only seen the first half of the first programme of this thing and I found myself laughing at the first sketch and was liking it. But then then next two sketches were beyond s**t, gave up on it.
