The sense of humour in it just really appeals to me. Sometimes things just appeal to certain people and can tickle them greatly while others think it's shit. eg I think the League of Gentlemen is tripe, and also the Fast Show, but other people love it. I can sit through an entire Scary Movie film without laughing once. Morecambe and Wise I find about as funny as cot death. But put me in front of Peep Show and you'll have to pick me up off the floor by the end of it. Or I can watch a Jack Dee stand up show for like the 10th time and still be completely unable to breathe by the end of it, tho my girlfriend doesn't find him that funny. But then sometimes you don't see the comedy in something. I find American Psycho funny as hell because I really get the Pat Bateman character, but other people just see a bloodbath and wonder why I'm laughing every time he speaks. I guess that was a long way of saying:

Different strokes for different folks.

It's more the fact that people DON'T like it because it's popular now

Boosh is like a live action cartoon for me. It's a good laugh. Fielding is the star however I prefer Julian Barratt's performance. He's great in just about everything I've seen him in - he brings loads of "real" stuff to his character (as does Fielding. of course.)

Naboo's permanent deadpan delivery is the highlight for me, though. And Bollo. When he got baked off the brownies in the last series I fell off the chair laughing.

Milky Joe is still my favourite!

Did anyone see the documentary on BBC 3 regarding the making of the Boosh the other day? Might have been a repeat. Was pretty insightful and funny.

You can see why folk don't like it - fair enough. It's just a bit of silly comedy at the end of the day. That's now raking in millions!!

yes i watched it last night on bbc3

i can understand original fans getting annoyed by people liking it because its popular and like a trend maybe, but yes there are genuine people like elwood who were late in discovering it and liking it genuinely. however people who pretend like it because their mates like it or to keep in with the banter at work pfffT!

if you genuinley like something its a bit sad not liking it because its popular

its just like how fall out boy and mcr make the top of the charts and everyone is listening to them, but the listeners wouldn't give another band in same genre a listen to cause it isnt popular

i have given this program a decent chance and not passing it off. some jokes i like was the gorrilla playing bass like mark king and the picture of the kittens for comfort

I was feeling pretty apathetic about the Boosh until Saturday night when I sat and watched a bunch of episodes before going out. Can't remember the name of it, but the one with the Crimp Off in series 3 had me and my mate falling about the place and put me in such an awesome mood for the night.

Julian is far superior to Noel. In looks, character and he gets all the best lines too. I would happily marry Howard Moon.

I hate when people turn round and slate stuff when it gets popular. I love when something I like gets more coverage, it means I can get excited about it with more people. Flight of the Conchords is a prime example.

Goth juice. It's the most powerful hairspray known to man. It's made from the tears of Robert Smith.

There's a queue here! Although, I'd happily take Fulcher an' all. Everything he says makes me piss myself. Ever seen Snuff Box with him and Sir Matt of Berry? \|/

Can I do a bit of bragging now? I've been ever-so-good 'til now. I have hugged that man! Matt Berry is truly brilliant!

Oh, here's the presale link if anyone wants it: The Mighty Boosh Tour 2008 Tickets

[Lester Burnham]

Got tickets. It was a bit odd that I didn't get told my seat numbers though

As for the Noel Fielding/Julian Barratt thing (I'm getting defensive of the the "Oooh that hotsy Fielding" thing). I adore both. Barratt is most certainly the brains of the outfit - did anyone watch that documentary about the boosh that was on on monday night?

However... Fielding (who I agree is god awful in Nathan Barley) has something about him. He's not good looking nor is he the funniest man to walk the earth. However, he oozes charisma and wears silver jump suits. This and the fact that I have countless dreams where he is one of friends is the reason I have a soft spot for the chap.

I also have a soft spot for Stephen Fry, Patrick Moore and Jeremy Clarkson. If they ever spoke to me I'd also potentially implode. I certainly couldn't see all of them in the same place. It would overload my senses.
