The British are a gift that keeps on giving and to top that, they are ridiculously hilarious (Little Britain, The Office, Extras, Monty Python, Black Books, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, etc…). The comedic outfit known as The Mighty Boosh is no exception and now, for the first time on American DVD players, we can watch Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) “crimp,” quip (which I am using as a verb for the sake of alliteration), and cause trouble, only to be saved by the enigmatic Shaman, Naboo (Michael Fielding) and his familiar, Bollo (Dave Brown), a talking gorilla, while vocabulary-deficient Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher) does some ridiculously funny stuff. Each episode features an amazing original musical production written by Barratt.

American fans have either had to watch the show in parts on YouTube under a phonetic spelling (thanks, lauraschantz, whose account was sadly suspended for that exact reason) or settle on poorly edited versions on Adult Swim (at times I still never manage to find).

Having made first-time US appearances this July at Comic-Con, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Chelsea Lately, Amoeba Music (which I happened to attend), and the Roxy, my favorite Brits have been busy and are not dispelling rumors of a tentative MB movie.

While the individual DVDs have been out since July 21^st, a super special box set is scheduled to be released on October 13^th, 2009. But lucky for you, if you cannot wait, our dear friends at Netflix have Season 1 available for you to rent (Seasons 2 and 3 still have an “unknown” availability status).

Watch This!

Special thanks to my good friend, Alison, who brought this show to my attention two years ago.
