I've only ever seen a couple of sketches, on YouTube. There was one about a Rapper with a baby, and another, longer sketch, about Matt Berry trying to buy some cowboy boots from a shop.
Was the show ever repeated?
Rich Fulcher steals Boosh's thunder every time Page 2
I'm not that keen on Rich Fulcher. He just seems to be outrageous for the sake of it sometimes, and I don't always 'get' what he's going on about. The bits in Boosh with him are funny, granted, but think these are scripted, and am glad he's only in it in moderation, to be honest.
Never seen Snuff Box, but I think Matt Berry is ace, so will have to dig it out at some point.

Whatever happened to Berry's character in The Boosh?

Apparently he's impossible to control, and out of about 20 takes he might only say what's actually in the script once. Which to be honest sounds quite fun to me, but I expect he can be a bit annoying to work with, even if he is your friend (as with the Boosh, etc).
Heh. His name sounds like felcher.

Really? Actually, that doesn't surprise me.
He was the best thing in Trexx and Flipside.
As for Snuff Box, it was really varied in quality - sadly, in my view, skewed more towards the boring end of that scale. That said, there's about three or four absolute classic sketches in amongst the 'padding'.
Like zooooo (don't know how many o's, can't be buggered to check) he compliments rather than upstages...all wraps up into one lovely mad bundle.
Listen to the directors commentary of Old Gregg when him and Fielding start talking about Christy...god I wish they'd do something with that.
Yep, he compliments; I wish they'd just have him doing Fossil again though, rather than a succesion of different characters.
Yes, actually, I did miss Fossil in series 2 and 3.
But I loooooved him as the scary lady in series 3. 
Am I alone in finding catchphrase-type sketches really f**king annoying?
I just watched several sketches from Snuff Box of Matt Berry going up to women, being charming, and then saying "F**k you!" when they reveal they have a boyfriend. First time was funny. After the second time, recognising that I was in for the EXACT SAME GAG in each subsequent sketch, I switched off.
I never understood the popularity of The Fast Show (except for the Ted sketches) for the same reason. Seems like lazy writing, and even lazier viewership. (Viewerdom? Viewosity?)
The Fast Show developed over time to a point where the catchphrase was pretty irrelevant. The first few episodes were a bit meh, but it picks up.
I watched it again recently and it's really really good. For example, the sketch about who's more middle class. The punch line is I'll get my coat but that's really a means to an end, the core of the sketch is brilliant.
"We had two holidays a year, one en prevance the other one skiing, we always had red wine and water with our meals, right from when we were really small and we always ate salad, out of a wooden bowl!"
I'd advise giving it a watch from series 2 onwards...it really grows on you.

You're not alone, Ricky Gervais nerver stops droning on about the subject. And The Fast Show did far more than just repeat catchphrases. Can't comment on Snuffbox as like almost everybody else in Britain I didn't see it.
I hated the whole "Cheesy Peas" thing, in the first series of The Fast Show. Also, that "Brilliant!" character was just a waste of time. Those sketches aside, I was actually a big fan of the show.
Aye there's always gonna be some crap in any show (apart from the 1st series of Partridge) but on the whole it was top notch.
