Come with us now on a journey through time and space to reflect on The Mighty Boosh's cultural moment now it's been 20 years since the surrealist comedy first aired on TV.
Welcome to Cheat Sheet, where we give you all the intel you need about iconic shows your friends have been bugging you to watch! In honour of its 20th anniversary, this time we're looking at cult classic The Mighty Boosh . Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt 's surrealist double act The Mighty Boosh was a gamble that ended up becoming a surprise TV hit.
The core Mighty Boosh cast in character: Bob Fossil , Naboo the Enigma , Vince Noir , Howard Moon and Bollo .They are joined by a cast of ridiculous supporting characters: Naboo the Enigma ; his bestie Bollo the gorilla ; and raucous zookeeper Bob Fossil . UK comedy royalty Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry even have guest roles throughout the series. Oh, and Fielding sometimes puts shaving cream on his face and pretends to be the moon.
But the start of this adventure sees me identifying with glam-rock, man-bimbo Vince yet again. Unable to cull his wardrobe for a two-day adventure from a giant mountain of clothing — including a Jacobean ruff — he has to convince their gorilla friend Bollo to "use your monkey strength!" and compress the giant haul into a suitcase.
I find all of Boosh's TV comedy songs so catchy that I'm surprised none has crossed over into the real-life charts. This one, which is meant to be a hypnotic chant that entices one and all who hear it into the lair of the yetis, would 100 per cent lure me into a cult any day.If Mighty Boosh was Radiohead, Old Gregg would be their 'Creep'. If they were Blur, Old Gregg would be their 'Song 2'.
Obviously everything, immediately. After Vince decides to cut the captain's hair into a mullet while he's sleeping — he is the Midnight Barber, after all — they are made to walk the plank and end up stranded on a remote tropical island with no food or supplies.
