My fandom. Let me show you it.

[the_rev]

I have been suppressing this urge again. I tell you. It's been difficult. But now, brought to you by my lack of self control and my ability to do as I please, in no particular order: satsumas, man thighs, man kissing, cross-dressing, shamans, an evil cockney, moar cross-dressing, Richard Ayoade, and the moon.

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you: My Fandom.




(Actually, I don't know who that guy is at bottom right. Not my fandom. Or is he?)

Ahh, that feels much better.

Those first two photos are enough to get my flashbacks-to-the-70s hives out in quite a rash. Living through it once was bad enough! Where are getting this--source?

The pics? Or the show? The show is The Mighty Boosh. It is mighty!

The pics have come from all over. Boosh flikr site, Noelfielding.org, at least half are my own screencaps, and a few I can't remember.

See, this is what happens when one's friends are too young to have Been There.^^

So is it a two man comedy team doing a wide variety of routines? Or something else that I cannot at all imagine? I do like the one with the glam guy wearing that adorable platinum wig.^^

Again, you humor me. ^ ^

Howard and Vince are the two main characters, but there are other major characters as well, including a shaman and his gorilla familiar. And lots of recurring characters. It is not sketch comedy, as I first assumed (and why I avoided it for a while) but it is a narrative, which is part of why it is so addictive. There is also a lot of singing and weirdly good music. In fact the live DVD is the reason I bought that muti-region player. :D

The platinum wig is part of a storyline in which Howard and Vince mistakenly summon a demon who takes the form of a "nana". They're in disguise to infiltrate the local bingo game in an attempt to locate her! The episode is called "Nanageddon". ^__^

You'll bring it next time, right? I suspect that is the only way I will be able, possibly, to appreciate it.

So what is that now? Boosh, The Goonies, and North & South? Nice comnination! :)
