The Mighty Boosh/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

== Main Characters ==

 

 

Vince Noir's best friend, constantly attempting, in vain to make a better life for himself but always failing due to his High Opinion of himself and general insufferability. He worked at the Zooniverse with Vince, Naboo, Bollo and Bob Fossil in series 1, then moved into an apartment in series 2 and later worked at Naboo's antique store in season 3.

 

* [[Aside Glance]]: is very fond of doing this

* [[Almost Kiss]]: with Vince numerous times

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]

* [[Casanova]]: Howard thinks of himself this way. He's not.

* [[Everyone Can See It]]

* [[First Kiss]]: With Vince. Aw.

* [[It Meant Something to Me]]

* [[Just Friends]]: although neither he nor Vince are fooling anyone.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: At any given moment, Howard might call himself an artistic visionary, a nature photographer, a genius salesman, an inventor, or an undiscovered acting talent with "willowy" legs and an impressive mustache. He's usually [[Butt Monkey|proven wrong]].

* [[This Loser Is You]]

* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]. On the outside, Howard is a complete [[Jerkass]]; however it's sometimes hinted that Howard acts the way he does because he's socially inept, not a bad person

* [[Vague Age]]: Continuity is totally ignored in the series, so Howard's true age is never revealed. Howard once stated he was 32, Ten years older than Vince, yet he's also claimed to be 50 years old, and in other episodes he despairs at the fact that he looks like an old man, even though he's the same age- sometimes it's implied that he's known Vince since they were babies, other times it's hinted that he took Vince out of school to be his apprentice at the Zooniverse

 

 

Vince is Howard's vain, shallow, flighty and impossibly attractive best friend. Exceptionally Low on IQ, but makes up for it by possessing the social skills [[Running Gag|and large eyes]] that Howard so conspicuously lacks.

 

* [[Adult Child]]

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Vince follows up Howard's rather pathetic attempt in 'Tundra' with his own

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Plenty of males find Vince attractive enough to 'Switch Teams' for

* [[Fan Girl|Fan Girls]]: Both in universe and in real life. Vince says during a deleted scene that he has 'forty seven women on the go at once'

* [[The Fashionista]]

* [[Fetish Fuel]]

* [[Popular Is Dumb]]: Vince is.. not very bright, and enjoys 'simple' tasks such as playing with toy cars; and expressly states at one point that he is confused by sentences that don't relate to fashion in some way

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Much to the Fandom's fury.

 

[[File:Naboo_2_4703.jpg|frame]]

 

Naboo is technically an alien, and posseses no genitals.

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: Naboo is a drug dealer, yet he's the only sane character and gains much of the audiences sympathy

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Tries to be this but.. most of the time it doesn't work

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Naboo was born in the 16th Century.

* [[Erudite Stoner]] / [[Stoners Are Funny]]:

'''Naboo:''' "Ah, right." }}

 

 

Naboo's [[Ax Crazy]] best friend and familiar; an ape who is strong physically but hugely dim otherwise. Bollo is very fond of Vince but hates Howard, frequently mocking him or forgetting his name.

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Do not annoy Bollo. He is implied to have killed numerous people, including children, his best friend and others. This is [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Bollo is an idiot. He behaves quite childishly at times, becoming attatched to objects like clocks.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Furry Denial]]: Bollo is treated the same way as every human on the show. This is, naturally lampshaded several times:

''Bollo: Oh.'' }}

 

 

 

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Bob Fossil loved Bainbridge

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Nobody takes Fossil seriously

* [[Noodle Incident]]:

What, go in your pick up truck and beat up midgets like last time? }}

* [[Out of Focus]]: He was only seen once in the last season, running away after Bollo threatened to murder him

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: when he finally kisses Howard. Squeeing insued.

* [[Squee]]

* [[Stalking Is Love]]

 

 

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: the Hitcher can be very charming, and even offers to protect, and seems to have a crush on Howard, but he's mostly doing it for the Lulz.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: When The Hitcher caught Jack The Ripper (long story) stabbing up a woman, he killed him out of disgust because he 'doesn't hold for that sort of thing'.

** Should be taken with a pinch of salt, as he is perfectly willing to do everything else to them.

* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]

* [[Informed Flaw]]: Parodied and played for laughs. Everyone, especially Saboo, treats Kirk as a sort of sleeping monster, claiming he is 'a vehicular menance, mowing down everyone in his path,' or that he is a 'violent and sexually deranged being' whilst none of this is ever shown on screen, and to the audience Kirk simply seems like an adorable little boy.
