Conchords vs Boosh

conch

Boosh no question. Conchords lost me with the most recent season.

Boosh, for more logical allocation of facial hair.

Why is this even a question? Conchords is a funny show full of funny people with funny jokes. Boosh is a wanky show with two wankers being fucking unfunny wankers.

rong.

I'm right! New Zealand ROCKS!!!

FotC is often great and I absolutely love the first season but I don't think it held up very well. <3 Murray for ever though.

conchords has better songs and jokes, but i just like boosh better

FotC, even with the weak second season. I've only seen two Boosh eps and only laughed like twice.

both irredemable

whiney what do you like?

Ok, going to be a hater here: dislike both of these quite a bit, but actually laughed a bit at a live DVD of Mighty Boosh and generally find Howard Moon quite cool (like him i am a pseud who loves jazz-fusion, claims spanish lineage, tries to write novels, etc.) although I find the show unbearably shit.

Funnywise or in general?

funnywise

The tears of children.

Dead children or living ones?

This might be an unprecedented statement, but King Boy Pato otm to the letter.

I agree. I'm able to re-watch conchords eps (from both seasons) but cbf'd revisiting mighty boosh at all

Suggest Banning anyone who seriously votes for the Mighty Boosh.

C1 > B2 > B1 > C2 > B3

actually C1 v B2 is a really tough call. apples and oranges. forget about the rest.

have never rewatched Boosh tho.

don't get boosh. i'd laugh at them if they were people i knew doing the show in my front room, but as a tv show by two random weirdos, it's quite terrible.

FotC are brilliant geniuses, without qualification. everything they do is fantastic. if they did Boosh, it would be fantastic. but they don't.

The Goodies.

neither as good as tony hancock tbh

both irredemable

IAWTWGWC

'milky joe' boosh episode is fantastic. fuck tha haters.

Don't really understand the point of comedy that isn't funny, so FotC gets my vote

Comedy-wise, FotC is like savouring a bottle of wine over an evening. Boosh is like necking a half bottle of vodka.

it's maybe more like necking vodka that doesn't get you drunk, although you wanted it to get you drunk and everything on the bottle pointed to you getting drunk.

It's very well distilled vodka, nicely packaged, in an attractive bottle, but doesn't get you drunk

Still never seen FoTC, though Rhys Darby has been pretty lol as host of Top 100 NZ Pop Culture Stories.

Crack Fox 4 lyfe.

Heh, barely remember starting this, unsurprisingly for 2AM on a friday night.

I like both btw, but think one is CLEARLY superior.

i'm sure it would greatly influence voting numbers were u to reveal ur mysterious preference, and commend ur dedication to the service of democracy & truth

Boosh did too much coke and run out of ideas for S3, but S1+2 are pretty fucking good. Conchords' songs are better, but the stuff around the songs is rather more pedestrian, while Boosh made me laugh a lot.

Boosh had a great knack for a while of creating iconic characters, which is kinda the mark of being on a roll.

FOTC obviously have a debt to pay to the Boosh boys, however the second they came on the scene Booshmania was starting to get very old. Noel Fielding had become the male version of Lily Allen and the head-up-arse third season was a mess of repetitive cloying old schtick. By comparison FOTC's subdued post-whacky comedy and genius songs came across as very refreshing. Sadly I wasn't too sure about their second series but I'd def pit B2 against C1 in terms of greatness..

They're both two chuckles an episode tops and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves because they're embarrassed at how overexcited they got over the first few episodes of a mediocre sitcom.

HUHT~!

"Future Sailors" was when Boosh truly jumped the shark.

subdued post-whacky comedy

Never use this phrase ever again.

I lol'd @ Future Sailors ;_;

haha was going to point out "post-whacky" until I felt the Future Sailors burn.

I lol'd @ Future Sailors ;_;

^ subdued post-whacky post

Like being whacked! With a post!

Credit where it's due though, they're both funnier than Black Books, and who knows, they could improve enough to be funnier than Saxondale or some shit one day.

^ all excited after his challopony ride

if he's good he'll get a chollopsicle

I have never laughed at Mighty Boosh and some of the worst people I have ever met are fans of it, so FOTC.

haven't seen much of flight of the conchords but have seen some funny bits

the mighty boosh only ever completely unfunny

what the fuck does any of this mean

I like both of them but I do think it has been diminishing returns form the Boosh and...er...the opposite from FOTC. A third series might suck though.

Hmm help me out here, does The Mighty Boosh feature a little character goes by the name of "Mel?" I know that Flight of the Conchords does... This might make the difference for me personally.

Sorry, at work and I only get snatched moments to write anything so it can come out a bit weuuurgh. I don't really understand why you don't understand what I meant though.

Have only seen a handful of eps from each since no cable and no home computer, but FotC makes me shout at all the characters and read a book/hit "mute" during their songs. Boosh frequently incomprehensible but in that British way that it shares with The Young Ones and The League of Gentlemen. Plus mod wolves so obviously...Boosh for the win.

Why is this even a question? Conchords is a funny show full of funny people with funny jokes. Boosh is a wanky show with two wankers being fucking unfunny wankers.

OTM X 1000

I remember when Boosh were just the worst thing on BBC radio. Where do they find these unfunny art school folks to make shows for them?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Dan Ashcroft was great in Nathan Barley!
Everyone on Conchords is great except for the Conchords.
Todd Barry also ruled in 'The Wrestler'

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Boosh, Boosh, stronger than a moose

So did you prove your bro wrong chap?

Sure did!

(It's a bit of a cheat though, as I knew ILX to be generally anti-Boosh before starting the poll)

Yacht Rock kicks both their asses

Michael B. on that 2006 tip.

introduced a friend of mine to it last night, watched 8 episodes in a row, had forgotten how great it was!

am coming round to boosh slowly, but their acid trips are never going to be as good as conchords' laid back bong highs
