'Elements from the Past and the Future. Combined to make something not quite as good as either.'
I cannot begin to tell you what draws me in. Possibly the music? Or maybe the touch of British 'Monty Python-isc' humor? Whatever it is has me hooked, no possibly, shall I say obsessed?
You could bet one hundred smackers that when I turn on a computer or sit down to one, the first page I'll navigate to is youtube.com. I just type in those four little words: mighty. boosh. top. ten. Any where, time or place I can guarantee my response will be giggles.
I. can't. help. myself.
On a more serious note, the show has been some weird form of inspiration for me. Aside from the five or so main characters, each episode is completely different then the next. Completely random would probably be a better way to describe it. It's sort of the British, Post-Modern, Monty Python-Style Odd Couple. Howard is a jazz-lover and intellect versus Vince, the punk who's in love with punk music, clothes and his hair. Not only is this a comedy, but they incorporate music into every episode. It's amazing to see the wide range of music these individuals follow in order to produce such songs or 'crimps.'
A little history on The Mighty Boosh: it started out as a British radio show, traveled as a theater act and eventually landed a spot on BBC3.
Sitting here, trying to describe why I am so fascinated with this show, only brings me to tears... from laughter, that is. I love the setting, Camden. Camden is located outside of London; a hip area lined with eclectic shops and block-long markets filled with vintage clothes and tattooed Chuckies. I love Howard. I can relate to his personality, of wanting to fit in but always choosing the least likely of various options. Vince is who I would like to be like; good hair, good clothes, has all the friends and lucky!
Perhaps, I'm just looking into this too much...
