    I always hated The Mighty Boosh but accidentally watched an Old Gregg clip on Youtube about amonth ago and now its like my favourite show.

    The thing that got me was I really liked how they made the fishing scene look really cozy with the moon and the stars and all that and the weird banter in the pub. And the Moon is in this episode, probly my fav character. I love they way when they come away from the moon scenes ya can kinda see the moon still turning in the background.

    I know what ya mean though, ya werent sure what Old Greg was gonna do. "I'm gonna hurt ya".

    My fav line outa that episode - "Easy now, fuzzy little man peach"

    LOL, Old Gregg is certainly messed up, but the Crack Fox is seriously fkd up and SCARY!!!!

    The Hitcher kinda creeps me out a bit too.

    I love the Boosh - can't believe it's taken me this long to find this forum:D

    hahaa, that is hilarious! Love his slap bass playing.

    the story of his thumb is genius

    Confession: I love the Crack Fox, I think it's one of the most disturbing characters they've made, and equally brilliant!

    Shudder!

    I actually had a nightmare about him las night and I blame this thread! :mad::P

    I've a problem with 'The Hither'. In series 3 they make him look all cool and stuff, where's is big thumb, big nose and pointy chin?

    And should'nt Bollo be dead, he died in the end of 'Bollo', they never addressed that.

    Continuity does not exist in the World of the Mighty Boosh.

    Oh I dunno about that. I think The Boosh like their continuity and that's why I was surprised they didn't keep the character the same in series 3.

    They're are always bringing back past characters, using familiar jokes and sticking to overall Boosh plot (Howard gets in trouble and Vince saves the day). Thats somethin I like about The Boosh, alot of little things happen in the show that you would have needed to watch previous episodes to get.

    crack fox is scary i remember my other half and she really freakin out when she seen him as weel as the Cockney geezer from Eels, old gregg is good....are you playin those love game with me?? ha ha classic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    They definately like being self-referential, and having loads of jokes that fans would get, but think they did away with the nose/thumb because they were just akward to be honest!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,676 ✭✭✭dr gonzo


    Old Gregg is great but the voice and mannerisms remind me so much of somebody and i cant think who it is, it annoys me every time i watch that episode.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 370 ✭✭Fallen Buckshot


    id say about 75% of the characters they do are aboslutely hillarious .. what drugs do they take to come up wif this ? :pac:
