Not seen 3. But saw series 1. Watched it all to make sure I wasn't being hasty. Never laughed aloud once. Smiled 3 or 4 times in 3 hours.
Dancing with a mask on your head is considered comedy? Episode 1 was more Strictly Come Dancing. Everyone seemed to be dancing. It was like Sat Night Fever on fast forward.
Charlie the chewing gum monster flying on a magic carpet, putting hairdos on household appliances was random assosiations to sound funny. It was a 60 second section that bored me after 20 seconds and the mention of a flying carpet. To me that's lazy. Mod wolves ditto. And an excuse for more dancing.
Tango Triceratops. Chacha Chameleons. Slamdunk dildoes. Anyone can do that.
That guy with the hairdo grinned thru episode 1 and 2. That shaman guy? did nothing for me. Totally unfunny. The word cheese was tagged on to make him funnier. A disposable character.
The episode about "but did blar REALLY blar" became totally boring with overuse. Ah but did it REALLY? Yawn. Yes it did esp when one of them delivered the killer line to top all the "REALLY " bits at the end of the first scene. From there on in the joke was blown. it couldn't be topped because they fired the killer comeback line too early. The episode end was a recycle of the first scene. Each line was predictable, being a single gag overused to death. Something that would get slammed in the writers section.
Saying "the gem of kabooboo" or whatever isn't a joke just an odd sounding word. lenny henry shouting katanga came to mind. and it wasn't funny back then. If odd sounding words make me laugh then I would go work in a stroke unit.
If the series 1 scripts had been posted anonamously here before they had ever been shown on TV they would have been torn apart. If you are being honest.
The best thing about the show is Moon's charm. It seems genuine. But I want to get WHY Boosh is so popular. But do I REALLY?
So if anyone can explain what they see in it I am happy to hear. but no "coz their well fit" replies. If they were two gross ugly guys rather than being cool trendy types would they have such a big following?
