I'm sure I am - educate me in funnyness. I don't get it, not even slightly. Perhaps I would on shrooms

I have only been introduced to The Mighty Boosh recently, and I like it a lot. Its very studenty, a bit stoner and extremely surreal. Dont know if Fielding's other stuff is like that, too? Havent watched so far.

blahdiblahdiblah · 29/01/2012 21:09

He is fab as Richmond in the IT Crowd. I love him,

JaneMare · 29/01/2012 21:09

i bet he smells delicious

HeadfirstForHalos · 29/01/2012 21:09

I love the Boosh. The first few times I was "huh?" when I saw it but then it clicked Grin

HeadfirstForHalos · 29/01/2012 21:11

I love him in the buzzocks too.

DressingGownQueen · 29/01/2012 21:11

I like the mighty boosh but this new stuff just seems like self indulgent twattery.

SucksToBeMe · 29/01/2012 21:15

He's beautiful to look at but i don't have a clue what he's on about.

Gertiegoolash · 29/01/2012 21:19

Love The Boosh, not impressed with what I saw of his new show, switched it over.

Ambrosius · 29/01/2012 21:20

I love him and I love the Boosh but his new show was a leetle self indulgent and almost completely unwatchable imo. :(

carabos · 29/01/2012 21:24

SucksToBeMe " beautiful to look at" Shock? Are we talking about the same person? Noel Fielding with an extreme haircut and a nose that's visible from space Noel Fielding? Hmm.
Each to their own. I don't get him either.

OldMumsy · 29/01/2012 21:24

Like but could be considered overrated, it's 50/50 for me.

JaneMare · 29/01/2012 21:25

i think he's rather beautiful too

mosschops30 · 29/01/2012 21:27

I dont get it.
Dont find him funny at all in fact when i saw him on 'live at the apollo' i was cringing for him it was so unfunny.
And i dont find him remotely attractive either

Snowboarder · 29/01/2012 21:27

I love Boosh but struggled with Luxury Comedy - hoping it's a grower.

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 29/01/2012 21:28

Love him in the IT Crowd and on Buzzcocks but just don't "get" the Boosh and his stand-up stuff.

I could happily stare at him all day though

HeadfirstForHalos · 29/01/2012 21:28

Oh I think he's rather beautiful too!

gigglepin · 29/01/2012 21:30

na i dont get him either, his hair bugs me, his clothing irritates me and i dont get his humour.
weird.

squeakytoy · 29/01/2012 21:32

I love his hair and his eyes.. the nose could do with trimming down a bit, but he does have something about him..

MogTheForgetfulCat · 29/01/2012 21:48

'Beautiful to look at' - seriously?! Shock He seriously gives me the creeps, he is so weird looking. Have no idea about his humour, but doubt I could sit through any programme with him in because of aforementioned creeps. Gah!

FlyingTeapot · 29/01/2012 21:50

I must be the only one to think he is ugly then!

JazzAnnNonMouse · 29/01/2012 21:51

I just don't get it, is he on drugs? Is it a play on someone who's in drugs? Isn't all terribly ironic and above me?
I don't get it!!!!!

No not alone. I find him weird and unfunny.
I can't for the life of me remember who used to be in 'Buzzcocks' before him, but I'm sure I liked them better.
