The Mighty Boosh - Series 1-2 - Complete (DVD)

This series was recommended by a friend of mine. I missed it on tv so i thought i'd take the plunge and buy series 1&2 out right.

In broad terms, the show is absolute genius! If you are a fan of any alternative comedy, Steve Coogan, Jam, Nathan Barley, this is a must. Get it without question.

The first time you watch Boosh you may think it is just two guys messing around on tv. But then it dawns on you that there is definite force and form behind what is in there. Some of the acting is not great, and the special effects are pretty bad too. Normally this could detract from a show. In Boosh however, this lack of "Sugar babes" sheen actually adds to the comedy value in very positive way.

Lots of subtle references litter the show which is ace to see. Music, art, drugs and alternative culture is the general underlying theme. This is done with such a gentle touch that it never feels like it is forced or that the writers are trying to be alternative. It just works without being pretentious or cheap.

Unlike the catchphrase comedy of Little Britain (yeah i know etc) which generally tires after a few episodes, Boosh delivers wave after wave of fresh ideas and hilarious situations that will leave you desperate for more. This lack of repetition makes them difficult to lock into at first but, once you are at ease with the pace, it'll make you want to watch them over and over.

Overall, stick with the first few shows and you will find the undiscovered genius that is the Mighty Boosh.

I loved these dvds- it's a brilliant tv series and if you have seen the odd episode before i would definately say you should give it a go. The only problem i have with them is that i can't get them back off of my friends.

If you're into weird, surreal comedy, this'll be right up your street. A work of Genius from Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, and a must see! Even if it's not you're regular cup of tea, after watching it a few times, you'll be weeing yourself too!

If you are a fan of boosh who like me has only recently been introduced then the boxed set of series 1 and 2 is worthwhile, 16 episodes, less than a quid each means you get all the extras for free.

Plenty of belly laughs but you have to have a surreal sense of humour to really enjoy it!

I love the mighty boosh on tv so i ordered it from lesleylesly55.
After 8 days of waiting, the item never arrived.
I checked the sellers feedback and it turns out the seller is selling product they dont own. They were passing ebayers details on to hmv.com with free p&p and charging p&p to buyers, even though the items came direct from hmv.com.
THis by the way is breaking the data protection act. I pointed this out to lesleylesley 55 and asked for proof of posting.
What a surprise the item or proof never arrived.
The case is now in dispute with paypal.
I complained to ebay but lesleylesley55 is still trading, still breaking the law.
So in summery I love the mighty boosh and maybe if I ever get my money back I will watch it

Please rate this review,Thanks : Howard Moon and Vince Noir are two zookeepers at the Zoo-Niverse. Here they encounter many strange adventures including boxing kangaroos, missing cheese-headed explorers, jazz-funk musicians with doors in their heads and a visit to Monkey Hell. Includes Series 2.

Hilarious, In my opinion the best series on TV.A must watch comedy but be warned series 3 to follow early this year so a trilogy is most likely only around the corner!

the mighty boosh is the funniest programme ever. it so surreal and hilarious. i love noel fielding!!

Bought this for my daughter who was absolutely over the moon with it - being a big fan already. It's not as funny at first as it grows to be with a few watchings - strange, but it kind of grows on you and then you want to watch it again and again - great to share with friends!!!

The Mighty Boosh is a very surreal,hilarious and genuinely enthralling show about two late-twenty-something men:

Vince Noir[aka Noel Fielding ]-a happy-go-lucky character who's usually the one to come up with loads of outragous ideas that somehow end up working most of the time.He has a love for 'electro' music such as Gary Numan[he has 'Cars' as his ringtone and in one episode joins a band called A Craftwork Orange] and cant stand Howard's favourite type of music-Jazz.Vince can be seen saying things like "Yeah, they call you the spanner..." or "your moves are like being caressed by natural yoghurt..." he is very sarcastic and laid-back,nothing really annoys him... except if you go near his hair.

Then theres Howard Moon[aka Julian Barratt]-a little more pananoid and worried in tricky situations than Vince, he loves to rant on about Jazz music and tries to be more of a diplomat. than Vince.He frequently screws up [Killeroo a perfect example of this] and needs Vince to help him out,he can be seen saying things like "This my friend is Jazz Funk." or "Give me the amulet, you bitch!".

The Mighty Boosh is very different from anything else on tv and continues to push the boundries time and time again with characters such as Old Gregg[the freakish underwater serial killer], The Hitcher[the cockney rapper with minty vision], Bob Fossil[the over-weight american zoo keeper who cant name any of the animals and disco-dances out his feelings "and thats why i dont like cricket"] or even Nanatoo-the evil demon granny.


Theres something for everyone in this show,things you can laugh at time and time again and theres nothing else quite like The Mighty Boosh-pure comedy genius.

SERIES THREE THE MIGHTY BOOSH COMING NOVEMBER 15th 2007

I missed this when it was shown on the tv, but after watching a couple of tv interviews with Noel Fielding, I decided to buy it, because the way he described it was right up my street! I was NOT disappointed. The first episode took a bit of getting into, but by episode 3 I was hooked! For those who have not had the pleasure of seeing this amazing show, I can only describe Fielding and Barratt as a modern day Vic and Bob. They are so surreal and funny, with funny songs to accompany the series. Series 1 is set in a zoo - the Zooniverse. Hardly any animals in it, and the ones who are can talk, and the fox has a scottish accent. It shows monkey hell, a russian bear who can't stand slap bass - but loves Gary Numan (Gary Numan's CARS is Vince Noir's ringtone - the old fashioned type before realtones). There is the shaman, Naboo, who is clever and cool. Charlie is a character made out of hubba bubba. My teenage son was also amazed with this dvd. If you don't love it, then you need a sense of humour transplant! Stupid humour with no swearing hardly. Also, the zoo's manager is an american guy who does not know the names of any of the animals, so refers to them by thier characteristics - his name is Bob Fossil.AMAZING.

i bought The Mighty Boosh series one as i saw it on TV. Thought it was funny and original! Not unfairly priced either! I enjoyed it so much that i bought series 2 and am eagerly awaiting the 3rd!

This was a gift for my 21 year old daughter. Living in Germany it can be difficult to keep up with what is going on in the UK. She thinks it is brilliant and helps keep her on par with her generation in the UK

I bought this as a present and have watched it a million times already. I love the characters and the choice of music genres each week. Check it out now, you'll laugh your head off!

the reason why i bought this item was because i accidently stumbled on an episode when i was off sick from work and switched this show on and could'nt believe how funny it was.
it is the best thing to come out in british comedy in years that why i did'nt care how much i payed because i had to have it.
i am totally hooked and hopeing to see them when they start touring so i suggest anyone to watch this and you will be hooked as well

p.s i'm old greg

One of my friends recomended it as I have never seen it on telly, so I looked around and the cheapest place I found it was on ebay. Its one of those weied but very funny comedys that is a must have I would recomend it to anyone who is a comedy fan.

I decided to buy this product after my friends showed me a few episodes. And after watching it i can say that it is one of the best things i have ever bought. Awesom, sidesplitting comedy. A must have for anyone with an obscure sense of humour.

I decided to buy the Mighty Boosh box set because I had seen a few episodes at a friend's house and loved it! The box set came with four DVDs (two for each series) and an exclusive booklet. After seeing the DVDs on sale for £18 each I decided that getting the box set for just over that amount would a sensible buy. The DVDs include lots of exclusive footage, such as interviews, photo galleries and outtakes, and the second (series two) disc includes a random 20 minute comedy sketch called ‘Sweet’ which features Noel Fielding with his invisible girlfriend.

Series one had eight episodes, series two has six. In my opinion series two is better, with classic characters such as Old Gregg (the scaly man fish who is actually a deep-sea transvestite who does rubbish watercolours and drinks Baileys from a shoe). Both series are fantastical and incredibly funny. I would say that it is the most underrated cult comedy show at the moment. The sheer randomness of it is amusing, and each episode is completely different where the two main characters, Vince Noir and Howard Moon, go on adventures.

Series one is set in the zoo where Vince and Howard work with the kiosk vender shaman, Naboo, and their manager, Bob Fossil, who is an American and bordering on retarded. Series two is set in a flat where Vince and Howard live with Naboo and Bollo, the ape. Series two is slightly faster paced; you get into the action more quickly and more tends to happen.

The show is refreshing in a time where phrases such as ‘I want that one’ (Little Britain) are becoming incredibly over-used. The Mighty Boosh seems to suck you in and soon you will find yourself saying random phrases such as ‘I’ll be all over you like a powerful moss’, ‘you’re moves are like being caressed by natural yoghurt’ in everyday language, and singing ‘the soup song’ when you find yourself captured by blue violent dwarves. Another positive to the Mighty Boosh is that although popular, it is not as well known as many other comedies, and so if you and a friend watch it, you can have great fun comparing your colleagues and enemies to creatures in it, (for example, Old Gregg) with them oblivious to what you’re sniggering at.

Overall I would say that this is an excellent buy and I have not met one person who has seen it and hated it. I would recommend anyone to buy this, especially if they have quite a random sense of humour. Booshtastic!

Absolutely wonderfully funny and Noel is a sexual beast!!! I love it and everyone i force to watch it instantly goes and buys it!

Bought it because saw it on tv and loved it and then went to see it live.just had to have it,box set looked fab and a good price.Delighted when i got it,perfect !!! laughed all over again.

packaged well thanks, came on time whithin the days it said on the web page.. im happy with it thanks all i need now is series 3 haha.

The first 2 series are Boosh at its very amazingly incredible best.
It is a must buy for any fan, I certainly can't think of anything bad about it.
I already have all 3 series on DVD, plus Live tour DVD, but have had to start buying copies for my young nieces who have also fallen in love with it, which just goes to show, The Mighty Boosh is a show for everyone :D x

Item was purchased as a requested Christmas gift for my daughter, who is very pleased to have it in her collection.

Excellent comedy through the different characters & different story lines. Also the extras like the first episodes which will make you laugh even more.

The Mighty Boosh - What can I say?
Its one of the funnies series around at the moment, I bought this for my son who is really into them and has managed to convert me in the process.
We will definately be going to see them live on stage... A must for any 'Boosh' fan!
