Mighty Boosh Vs Sugar Puffs[edit]

The latest Ad campaign by Sugar Puffs has been criticised by many Boosh fans, calling it a blatant rip off of the shows funny short songs, known as 'Crimping' I found this by accident when I stumbled on the Sugar Puffs advert on Youtube, but am not exactly great at major edits on these things. If someone would be so kind as to add this to the article, Im sure it would be a good thing to have in it. How dare Sugarpuffs steal the crimp... Their advert is still on T.V, I guess the Boosh didnt sue them in the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.73.216.125 (talk) 16:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is a Boosh?[edit]

Anyone have any info on the derivation of their name or it's meaning? AP (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 01:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the behind the scenes feature on season 1 or 2 (I'm at work so I can't check). Someone said that Michael Fielding and his friends made fun of Noel's outrageous hair. Calling it a "Mighty Boosh(bush, get it?). Then they used the name for the show cause it's piss funny.210.215.75.4 (talk) 05:42, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Andrew.[reply]

I know this is very outdated but Andrew is wrong. It was Michael Fielding who had curly hair. He had a Spanish friend who used to call it a Mighty Boosh, and the name just stuck. So they ran with it...so sorta right story wise, just got the facts a bit wrong. :) --Bailo26 (talk) 02:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the programme about?[edit]

Nowhere does it tell me about what this show is, other than it's a sitcom. What an unhelpful article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.24.246 (talk) 19:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC) I LOVE THE MIGHTY BOOSH BY DANNI-JO[reply]

It's a "Surreal comedy" you loaf. Thats the best way i could really put it. its almost like an anti-sitcom. No laugh track. non-linear stories. sketches. random bits. Hope this helped! -1348- (talk) 18:47, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article has told me nothing of the show - what it is about, the basic premise/set up, who the characters are, the ideas and themes present... etc. I see that someone above me shares thast view. Can someone please edit it for the benefit of those that do not/are unable to watch the show! It is failing as an article and is unhelpful in perhaps every sense. I have learnt nothing.

This article is about the comedy group. For the TV series they produced, see The Mighty Boosh (TV series). Also, please sign your posts with ~~~~. Thom (talk) 21:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey ill have a go at fixing this question and summarising the programme(s), feel free to help me out on this Cooltiger989 (talk) 19:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Link to book of boosh[edit]

Think about removing the last link to book of boosh, someone is link farming on that url now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.85.233 (talk) 11:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, removed the link (and the one to vexedmag, as it no longer works, too). --Six words (talk) 21:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, well done Manning (talk) 22:38, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
