''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'' is a zany British comedy series about two friends, Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir ([[Noel Fielding]]), who have bizarre adventures together. Howard is a humorless braggart with a love for jazz and a penchant for getting into trouble, and Vince -- the "King of the Mods", the "Mayor of Camden", and the face of Cheekbone magazine -- ends up saving Howard [[Once an Episode]], which tends to involve him talking to animals and wearing silly outfits. They eventually have to fight a [[Monster of the Week]] (usually in song) while meeting a range of strange characters, many of whom are also played by Barratt and Fielding.
The two live together with the [[Deadpan Snarker]] stoner shaman Naboo (played by Michael Fielding, Noel's brother, whose hair the show was incidentally [[Line-of-Sight Name|named for]]) and Bollo, Naboo's gorilla familiar. Most episodes focus on Howard and Vince leaving the zoo (first series), their flat (second series), or their second-hand goods shop (third series), for a number of distant locations (including the Arctic tundra, Monkey Hell, and the planet Xooberon).
Line 12:
Also part of the show's appeal is the home-made feel it has. Fielding designs many of the visual elements (including the artwork featured in the animation) while Barratt composes all of the music (and plays a mean guitar), and many of the extras are Barratt's and Fielding's friends and family.
''The Mighty Boosh'' was originally a stage act, and then a radio series, before it became a TV show. It then returned to the stage between series one and two, and another live tour took place between 2008 and 2009.
If you've ever wondered what would happen if the characters of Bob Fossil and Dixon Bainbridge got their own show, see ''[[Snuff Box]]''.
