On the IMDB website, the Mighty Boosh's genre is described with the words comedy, fantasy and musical, but it's pretty hard to explain this television show with so few words.
To start with, it's a British show that aired from 2003 - 2007. The first season of the show consisted of the two main characters, Vince Noir (played by Noel Fielding) and Howard Moon (played by Julian Barratt) working as Zoo Keepers for their overly eccentric boss, Bob Fossil (played by Rich Fulcher). They have various adventures in the first season ranging from the two main characters braving the arctic tundra and encountering the infamous Black Frost, even to Howard being mistaken for an ape and taken to monkey hell. Yeah, you read that right.
In the second and third season the main characters, Howard Moon and Vince Noir live with Naboo the Enigma and Bollo (who is a gorilla). In the second season, they all live in an apartment and in the third season, they help run Naboos shop and live above it. Many crazy adventures ensue in these seasons too. In the second season, the episodes range from Howard getting kidnapped by a hermaphrodite sea monster named Old Gregg, to the Howard and Vince passing out and having a nightmare about talking coconuts. The third season doesn't disappoint either. The episodes range from Vince swallowing a piece of a record and being possessed by a Jazz spirit and to the boys being robbed by a drug addicted talking fox.
So whether you are a fan of British television or are just looking for a quirky show to watch, I find this show extremely hilarious and entertaining. I would recommend it to just about anyone. Almost every episode features a song and a funky new character. A couple of my favorites include Old Gregg (the hermaphrodite sea monster I mentioned above) and Mr. Susan who lives in the mirror world and is in the episode entitled Bollo (it’s the episode about monkey hell I also mentioned earlier.)
It is hard to write about this show and really truly do it justice. You just need to check it out. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under the age of thirteen because a handful of the episodes do feature some mature themes, but for any teenagers or adults looking for a new show to watch, this is great. I highly recommend it.
