Starts this week.

Does anyone think it looks anything other then absolute technicolor shite?

Im looking forward to seeing how bad it actually is.

Without the Boosh crew he's all at sea.

Juan Loco · « **Reply #2 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:56:05 pm »

He's not actually funny, is he? I mean, not really. I've got Boosh on the recommendation of a mate, and there's the odd decent bit (mostly involving Julian Barrett), but Fieldings comedy is basically sticking every word in the dictionary in a hat and pulling two or three out at random.

Oh, a kleptomaniac french rhinoceros horn. Hysterical.

The adverts make it look appalling

KERRYKOP · « **Reply #4 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:01:04 pm »

Ya, Julian Barrett is clearly the talent of the two, another victory for substance over style.

Cpt_Reina · « **Reply #5 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:01:44 pm »

The Boosh was great, until the 6th form crowd caught wind of it and ruined its credibility, but it was largely down to Barrett yeah.

Fielding is all style and no substance. He'd come up with a weird idea and Julien would make it funny.

I've seen him do solo stand up and properly stank the house down, all 'wacky-quirky-surreal' bollocks with zero charm or wit.

Barratt is definitely the talented side of the act.

What's Julian Barratt up to these days anyway?

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #8 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:07:56 pm »

Big Fat Quiz of the Year definitely missed himself and Brand this year.

Probably just enjoying being Julia Davis' squeeze.

He's another lad who's dropped off the radar. Got a feeling his lost radio show will forever be his crowning glory, his double act with Matt Morgan is as fuuny as anything Iv ever heard, pity it all ended in tears for them.

Again though I thought it was Morgan that made the radio show what it was. He was a great foil for Brand.

Dont think you can say he's dropped off the radar though really, he's making Hollywood movies now, Brand that is.

cant stand him, it looks shit!! im sure though he will be hailed a hero for it though.

Chinbits · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:14:58 pm »

Going to watch it first and then slag it off

im sure though he will be given loads of shit for it though whether people watch or not.

The Jackal · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:37:30 pm »

I don't really find him funny... but then again I was one of those people who didn't really 'get' the Boosh.. Some of it was quite funny, but a lot of it was just a bit 'meh'...

-Sad Fuck- · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:20:59 pm »

I'll be suprised if this isn't the antithesis for surreal comedy.

Pistolero · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:24:18 pm »

I like the trailers...looks promising

TravisBickle · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2012, 12:06:28 am »

He's naturally a very funny bloke but his stand-up is indeed utter shite.

-HH- · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2012, 12:09:10 am »

I presume a pre-requisite for this is finding some things Noel Fielding says or does amusing....

...for that reason, I'm out.

Russell would be just rambling along and Matt would interrupt him with something like "You horrible 80's man" and they'd go off on one, loved that show.

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #21 on:** January 24, 2012, 12:13:46 am »

He should steer clear of the stand up stuff. Very few in the audience has a clue what the fuck he is on about.

Totally agree, the banter with Julian Barrett and him are by far the best thing about the boosh.

Noel Fielding is nothing without Julian Barrett
Russell Brand is very little without Matt Morgan

'You know who you remind me of Russ? You remind me of Boycie from Only Fools & Horses.'

I thought that was a realupcoming phone when the Nathan Barley billboards started cropping up in London. That'll teach me for looking at the pictures and ignoring the text

Matt S · « **Reply #26 on:** January 24, 2012, 09:23:19 pm »

Well I like him. I loved the first 2 series on the boosh, 3rd series was a bit shit I thought.

The show could go either way I think. I do wonder if it'll all gel together without Julian Barrat.

LanceLink!!!!! · « **Reply #27 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:31:24 pm »

I hope Milky Joe gets a run out.

Titi Camara · « **Reply #28 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:39:59 pm »

Is anyone else hoping this is quality?

I loved the Boosh and it's been too long without them!

Hope this is great but have a really bad feeling it might stink...

On a seperate note....."what you doing"...."sweeping up the mine shards"....genius!!!

Snail · « **Reply #29 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:46:22 pm »

Aye, third series was rubbish. Went and saw them live just after it came out as an 18th birthday present and was really disappointed too, by that point it just felt like they'd lost interest.

Dr Manhattan · « **Reply #30 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:50:11 pm »

Could watch Julian Barratt in anything, Noel Fielding is always hit and miss.

I do hope this is decent though.

Every radio show: http://www.russellbrandpodcastarchive.com/

They got away with well worse stuff than that Andrew Sachs stuff aswell.

Hope they make more of them now Russell's single again

As random as it gets.

Loved Figo.

kevlumley · « **Reply #33 on:** January 26, 2012, 10:46:19 pm »

Half watched, half ignored.

Not anywhere near the Boosh.

Liked - the Pele art thing, saucer or football.

Disliked - pretty much everything else.

Missed - the moon, but wife said he made a brief cameo

Juan Loco · « **Reply #34 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:16:51 pm »

Just take magic mushrooms instead.

Matt S · « **Reply #35 on:** January 27, 2012, 08:33:39 am »

I liked it in a weird way. The cookery show bit was not great but apart from that I thought it was ok. I'll watch again but its not an instant favourite.

Pistolero · « **Reply #36 on:** January 27, 2012, 08:40:24 am »

visually arresting but not particularly funny....

lostpet. · « **Reply #37 on:** January 27, 2012, 09:40:20 am »

what a shockingly pointless crock of shit, didnt find any of it funny, i enjoyed some of the boosh but this was just shocking, amazed it got made to be honest, shows that TV exec's just make shows based on reputation than actually looking at the show

a begrudging 1/10

Cpt_Reina · « **Reply #38 on:** January 27, 2012, 10:54:04 am »

It was as if a group of A-Level art and drama students had been given a very big budget and told to go off and make a tv show.

Fielding's managed to make the worst show on a channel which also airs Desperate Scouswives. Some achievement that.

Awful.

richiedouglas · « **Reply #39 on:** January 27, 2012, 12:38:45 pm »

Fielding is an absolute bellend.

Watching him on buzzcocks I half expect it to be canned laughter but people think he's funny. Anyone can do a Fielding joke:

"I went for a job today"
Wait 10 seconds
"No I don't mean a blow job"
Pull surprised troll face
