GREAT interview!!! I love it when people talk to them about the work, and I love it when Julian speaks; he's got so much to give! I await the Second Coming of the Boosh to USA!!! I think we're all ready for a live tour and/or a movie!!!

[@yellinginmyear]

MOAR!

[@SacredTigress]

these guys are the best! xxx

[@_R0BB_]

Amazing show. I can't imagine there ever being anything else like it. It's like comedy... for musicians! Best of all, it's good (relatively) clean fun.

[@adikhan1212]

this show is kickass!

[@Amaranth666]

I love the hell out of this show.

[@residentofboxfive]

Haha yay they used my picture of the awesome Spirit of Jazz 2:52 ! I feel honored.

[@chickirockx101]

The boosh is amazing!!! Luv them

[@boingboing]

Hah, that is wonderful! Congrats!

[@msinummik]

Yeah! Awesome interview, and the photo at 2:55 mins. is MINE, featuring the beautiful miss Katelyn Shibely and the Moon!

[@SpartanM621]

Im so glad Adult Swim is showing it in the States. Amazing show! Long live British Comedy!

[@charloot12]

my friends have conversations purly using mighty boosh quotes, it great :D

[@IndIka024]

I started watching the MB after the greg roll got passed around.. Now I Tivo the episodes off Adult Swim on sundays at 1am.

[@MissPurpleCow]

@KISSnum1 Its so cool that they are known in america too,I lived in Spain for most of my life and people there were clueless and it was so sad,I first found the boosh out the very first time Noel went on buzzcocks,but as a guest AGES ago,i heard the soup crimp then and fell in love! (I was 15 at the time) :)

[@CourtneyCoulson]

Yeah, some of the cast were involved in that too.

[@kanumbra]

pppplease noel and julian tour australia, were all crazy about you guys!

[@kobiwazere]

Ive showed all my friends the mighty boosh im trying to convert them into the LIFE that is the mighty boosh

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Back in the 80's we were all exposed to great British comedy through Mtv (back when it was still worth something). My American eyes were opened to Monty Python and The Young Ones and from there I found Fawlty Towers and I still love them all to this day. Since then, I hadn't found much that I liked. Now I can say The Boosh are the true successors to the previously mentioned hallmarks of British comedy greatness. Long live The Mighty Boosh!

[@slop123456789]

the interviewer sounds like lucille 2 from arrested development

[@msinummik]

I honestly don't know. He was caught in the spell of Katelyn the sexy robot! Thanks for props on the photo, and I can't wait for part 2!

[@hippiechic69]

i have always said that this show is very much like a childrens show for adults.

[@isabeeelllaaa]

i totally agree :)

[@Shinownd]

[@BogoblinGamer]

It's the theme tune.

[@MightyB00shFan123]

[@thewhippetbeans]

[@MightyB00shFan123]

holy shit dude!!!!! Noel is wearing the necklace my friend Destiny and emily gave him! WOOAHH

[@CourtneyCoulson]

All those mirrorball suits were just plain silver. They looked like dandy Silver Surfers!

[@weenerwallet]

Us, "yanks" are pretty fucking wild here in the U.S of A. we're very open to mostly everything and find that the mighty boosh is an amazing piece of English comedy culture and music I think we can all relate to. Long live Brittish Comedy!!!!

[@boingboing]

Right on! Great photo, that was so awesome -- who is that behind the moon face?

[@cjmonster]

I just found this show recently and really love it! Im an American and I have to say, when i watched it the first thing I thought was "Wow, this show is hilarious and makes me feel like a kid again at the same time, but if it was done in America it would be terrible". I dont know what it is...slang,accent,style,culture...but there are def brands of comedy the British do much better.

[@SnappyPFish]

Everything's different in the world of me!

[@BostonRocker51]

would a mythical beast be into jazz? If so, Bird, Monk? Albert Ayler? Miles?

[@Tautolonaut]

the interviewer resembles a certain extreme sports calander model.

[@finehomemadewine]

The interviewer looks as she could be a character in Mighty Boosh

[@melsinki8]

@thefinalranger understatement, it would be fucking amazing.

[@SpennyThompson]

Xeni looks like an alien

[@amycrowfan]

i know its noel typing error

[@94Dilemmas]

I dressed up as Old Griegg for halloween and no one knew who I was. They were like "So you're Treegirl?" I was sooo sad after that:'(

[@amycrowfan]

[@darkwavegirl]

[@KatherineOutten]

julian looked uncomfortable when she mentioned drugs XD

[@philiproberts2483]

You like Eels boy

[@DavidTennantObsesser]

The US can borrow them, but when it comes down to it, we had them first, so we call dibs ;)

[@lnfreeman]

@VendettaKissXx he tends to look uncomfortable any time an interviewer talks to him. he's so adorbz>o

[@hollypeniche_]

@finehomemadewine she looks like Mafusala, the head shamans wife.

[@finehomemadewine]

@hollypopfobsessed Yes, You are absolutly right, she DOES! :-)

[@moxie96]

yes the Mighty boosh has been on since late march out here though heavily edited and come on at 1 Am on the cartoon networks Late night programming Block Called "Adult Swim" (Noel asked if that was a porno channel!) We don't see it on prime time like in the UK because it's "too raunchy"(not to me) for US prime time. I love this show a lot because it's so different, absolutely funny and who else will reffer so much to music I like? I'm glad Adult swim plays MB to get a US Fanbase going.

[@Oatmealeo]

allright, calm down, i was only tryng to back you up, we're supposed to be on the same team arnt we :S :P

[@CTPixelProductions]

@VocaloidMixer Mine's the same.

[@TheLolly13]

there is an online pettition to bring them to aust ... google search it :)

[@TheNStone81]

@VendettaKissXx Barratt only looked uncomfortable about the drugs question because he was standing next to walking pharmacy of all time and didn't want to drop him in it lmao.

[@magicoA]

well i wouldnt consider all those teens and people in thier 20s that were lined up there as tiny children unless of course your a giant

[@etemon777]

Because we are all high on drugs.

[@fauxkamie]

troll moar

[@weenerwallet]

I'm a yank and I have to admit. If this show was made here in the US of A..it would be horrible!!! I don't know, but there's something about English comedy that we Americans just love..incomparable to our sometimes rubbish American comedy. I♥the Mighty Boooshhhh!!

[@PatrickSSoxP]

julian really does have small eyes:P

[@mepitel]

Nah!

[@DEIVION212]

Really love the Boosh, honestly is my favourite show on T.V at the moment. Granted that might be because a lot of my favourite shows are getting cancelled, lol. But even then I fucking love the Boosh. And knowing that they have an NA fanbase is good, as hopefully it means that the guys aren't going anywhere. I mean I know the BBC are dickheads and only fund/plug Dr. "shite" Who, but they must have made a fortune from the live shows, so they can fund themselves :D Old Greg FTW!

[@weenerwallet]

yes. that's what our friends from the U.K. like to call us.. haha..it's funny how we don't call them limies..but i guess it's some universal code..it seems to me from traveling experience that mostly everyone in the world likes to refer to us as yanks!! it don't really bother me.

[@Oatmealeo]

America only has more fans 'coz there's more people, the ratio of fans: population, is probz ten times bigger in the uk, besides the uk have liked mighty boosh for longer than us, and are far more dedicated, besides noel and julien are british anyway and love there british fans, so yeeeeaah. p.s. I HAVE NOELS TSHIRT, EEEE! EXITMENT!

[@RubberFactory]

howard moon has the best webpage.. pure boringness lol

[@harry_l_meredith]

pretentious or not, you're a typical troll-feeder

[@andrewsonfire]

[@andrewsonfire]
