The Mighty Boosh: Hitcher - Hitch-Hiker Thumb Scene

Funny scene on TMB - Hitcher in the car when the hitch-hiker talks about his thumb

[@thomasinlockwood_]

That monologue is perfect. The way it cuts back to him blankly staring ahead afterwards is hilarious.

[@estoy1001]

"...anywhere here...?"

[@williamgreer4087]

The blank stare kills me 😂

[@jonathanross149]

Both Monologues are great...poor Moon's awkward attempt to break the ice and the thump story. This was a great shows.

[@bradameerbeg2154]

Julian’s 4th wall break in the middle, though.

The thing with boosh is the more you watch it, the funnier it gets.

And I stood there with my fumb out and he stung he he stung it and he grabbed onto it, it was like he was makin love to it with each sting. In n out, in n out, more n more. OHH THE PUS, THE PAIN,THE BLACK VOODOO, THE WET JIGSAW PUZZLE, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENIN, OHH FOR DAYS, I WAS IN A TRACE, BUT WHEN I CAME TO, THERE IT WAS, LIKE A FLESHY MARACA, A FUMB OF GIGANTIC PROPORTION, I MIRACLE I SAID, A MIRACLE, YOU'RE A TRUE WIZARD, HOW CAN I EVER REPAY YA? He said to me, 500 euros. 500 EUROS!? YOU WONT SEE PENNY ONE FROM ME, YOU SLAAG, SO I RAISED MY FUMB UP TO SMASH HIS TINY SKULL IN, I COULD SEE IT IN HIS LITTLE INSECT FACE, I COULD SEE HIM THINKIN, OHHH I CREATED THAT MONSTA, I CREATED THAT FUMB AND NOW IT'S KILLIN ME, MY OWN BEASTLY CREATION, KILLIN ME DEAD, THE SWEET IRONY. I think he was sayin that, although it was a long time ago and in hindsight, he could've just been shittin himself.

[@gregdillard2283]

Brilliant! I once built an entire routine around George Carlin!

[@maxdembo2029]

Greg Dillard probably what killed him

[@estoy1001]

I liked the commentary track from the DVD- Noel at one point goes "God, am I still talkin'?"

[@puffythedestroyer8878]

"..And in hindsight, he coulda' just been shittin' himself........."

[@ami2evil]

Slopping his Trousers...

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

At one point you can see Julian came very close to laughing

[@ZombieStar2000]

I suspect the reason that most of that bit is filmed close in on Noel is because Julian couldn't keep it together for long. What person could?

[@gregdillard2283]

Pushing really hard to make Howard Moon break character! Hilarious!

[@xei862]

"There it was! Like a fleshy maraca!"

[@brandongonzalez6277]

+Nubxei (勝者) A thumb, of GIGANTIC proportion!

[@PS1-Hagrid]

I'm adamant the only reason the Hitcher character exists is because Noel had one of those limited edition polo shaped polo packs and taped it on as a monocle as a spur of the moment thing.

[@shantofistie4281]

My son used the term "The wet jigsaw puzzle" cuz he had heard me saying it. The comedic timing was perfect.

[@OnimeDoobs]

This scene gives me that feeling of when I'm driving at night with nobody around and the road is bordered with creepy looking trees.

[@reubenroper6231]

Got a place at drama school by auditioning with this monologue

[@SleepyHeather]

The best thing about this is that the radio show had a version just as brilliant but totally different which goes to show how creative Noel Fielding is at surrealism

[@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg]

Julian does the majority of the writing.

[@cass4895]

@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qghaha people attributing Boosh to Noel when he hasn’t produced anything of this quality since is funny. I firmly believe Julian is the greatest of the pair (although I do love Noel).

[@3therea11]

That is easily the best monologue I've ever heard in my life, back then and even now. Funny part is I looked this episode up to show someone where the executioner's voice in disenchantment is from lol

[@darknesskingsized8996]

Definitely a worthwhile clip, but in my opinion the executioner voice is more like Noel's usual speaking voice.

[@Shecalledindead]

Right? The hitchers speech was delivered so well and it looks like it was a one take, Wich must have been difficult for noel to do

[@barragethree5047]

[@platinumpatience5307]

Something tells me Noel's story was improv

[@sandwichbreath0]

It probably was -- I saw a behind-the-scenes special once, and most of the filming involved them all just improvving roughly outlined scenes. Most of our favorite bits/dialogue were just one of many hilarious/ridiculous alternatives created on the spot.
