[quote name="Seefacts" post="71018" date="December 4, 2007, 7:32 PM"]This is a discussion forum, the bile 9as you put it) is backed up with my opinions.

I realise that, but an 'i hate it, well I like it, well I hate it, well i dont' sort of thing is pointless and hardly a proper discussion, everyones just restating the same case again and again, I think we all realise you think its shit by now, and you can hardly be surprised that, on a thread about the Boosh, if someone rips the show to shreds, those who like it will want to counter the statement. Lets just agree to disagree.

Okay, I'll meet you on the Not Going Out thread and we can do it all over again :D

Laughing out loud

This may have already been said in this thread, but... Any modwolves here? :)

me!

one thing i have learned recently in respect of comedy is that people have different tastes. for every person who thinks not going out is great, there will be another who thinks it is poor. likewise with the boosh and every other comedy show made. there will even be people who like adam and shelley, or katy brand (which just got another series).
i do like the mighty boosh but i can see why people don't like it. for me there are moments of genius which really make me laugh. but there are also bits which i think are really awful. that episode in the desert in series two was really dull. but the milky joe episode was wonderful. its also accessible to children unlike most other sitcoms out there - its about the only show i can watch with my kids.
its nice to see a healthy debate about it. it would be nicer if people didn't use such inflammatory language though.
by the way, who is david renwick?

Might Boosh isn't dialogue driven anyway. Its actually one of the classic rule-following sitcoms out there. There is always a few storylines and they always tie everything up, there are three acts, inciting incidents, plot escalation etc. From that point of view its well written and using the craft much better than some sitcoms loved here. It can be a bit too random but thats because it is the exact taste of the two writers, not many people will have exactly the same taste.

The characters are lazy-random people and their dialogue reflects that rather than the writing overall. I didn't think Seefacts attempt was anything like TMB myself.

But as long as we are not all repeating ourselves with exactly the same points then there is nothing wrong with Seefacts posting his opinions. I think it really boils down to you not liking the style - plenty do and I don't think you'll convince anyone different.

Shut up. All of you. I am bored now. Angry

Laura wants to do sex to Noel and Julian (probably at the same time).
Other people hate it.

End.

Grrrrrrr.

Wrote One Foot In The Grave and Jonathan Creek - two of the most intricate and tightly plotted shows of all time.

and neither of them funny. in my opinion. ;)

Jonathan Creek is great, funny or not.

Okay you lot, calm down; to quote from Blackadder " How about a game of Shove Piggy Shove?"

That always cheers me up. Happy days.

shoving piggies is definitely not funny. although it is big and clever.

See the little goblin,
See his little feet,
See his little nosey-wose,
Isn't the goblin sweet?

YES!

You'd make a killing in the restaurant industry :)
