Rating: - Pretty Good

Having watched and loved the first series of the mighty boosh i was rather dissapointed when i bought this DVD and realised that the scenario and general plot had been changed. The first series includes non stop comedy with just the right amount of randomness. This however, no matter how hard a follow up would be, does not equal the first series, it's funny, but can be slow and boring in some parts, where the first series was just one laugh after another. However for anyone who enjoys the mighty boosh this DVD still includes some outrageously funny material that will having you laughing just thinking about it! (P.S, both TV series are massively better than the live show)

Rating: - Better than 1, because they had the spondooliks!

The team developed characters from series one. Most are recycled to optimum effect. I wouldn't know how to describe this humour but I shall try. It's juvenile, extraordinary and observed. I grew up with series 2 (simply because it aged me), I got the series 1 DVD first but I can see the merit in 2. I prefer 2. But I love both. And I love the live show (nail biting stuff), but I don't think that it was a suitable Christmas present for my 5 year old son. Thank you daddy.

I think they had more money for 2, and it is more evolved, but they are both of equal merit for the Boosh fan.

Milky Joe, the last episode. If you have ever seen 'Castaway' with Tom Hanks - this is an obvious spoof. However, if Tom Hanks fancied himself as a serious intellectual and he was cast adrift with his best friend who was an out and out sybarite and fashion junky. They're alone on the island. No footballs. Nothing, whatsoever, communicable. It is brilliant. They should be awarded for their genius.

Rating: - brilliant

series 2 of the mighty boosh is sensational,from the off i wish to say i dont think its as good as series 1 but thats not the end of the world as series 2 is still odd,brilliant and funny.
the big difference that will strike you when you watch series 2 is that the zooniverse has gone and that howard and vince live with naboo and bollo in a flat and that howard and vince have dreams of making it as a band,along the way they encounter lots of different characters and moments of surreal brilliance,i wouldnt want to give too much away but the last episode with milky joe is probably the best episode ever,this show aint for everyone,that much im sure of,but this is essential in my world.

Rating: - Just not up to scratch

My review is short and sweet - Series 1 was a stunner and very clever and unique. Series 2 may be slicker, with better sets and costumes, etc, but the plots are thin and I just didn't find it funny.

However, the vast majority of Boosh fans are just as fanatically blinkered as Beatles fans were (and still are) in the 60s and 70s - they will lap up anything Barrett and Fielding churn out, whether its funny or not.

Rating: - Coming at you, like a flannel!

I'll follow the trend and tell you which mind boogling boosh episode i seen first - and that was 'Call of the Yeti'. I'd never seen anything like it, so original, so surreal, so silly, so amazingly funny. BBC Three had put the next weeks episode online so i went on straight away and watched that, 'The Priest & the Beast' (Glove Love, Glove Love). Pure Quality, so good I never waited for the televison showings, and told absolutely everyone I knew to watch them. To my surprise not everyone got the humour, it seems like one of those love it or hate it shows, I don't personally understand that, in my opinion its the best thing to hit tv screens in ages. I think for those undecided, you have to approach the show with no preconceptions and suspend any sense of reality or logic. The brilliance of the show is in the dialogue, I found series' 2's music interludes enjoyable but to be honest, would probably have prefered them to be edited down to take up less screen time. The dialogue is where all the laughs come from. Best Boosh episode is 'Nanageddon'; but, they're all brilliant, even 'The Nightmare of Milky Joe' which for some reason, doesn't quite reach the same heights of hilarity as the preceeding five. Series 1 is equally amazing, so heres hoping for a third seesion, and another u-tern in style, setting and with more Bolo, dropping some weather report.
