The Mighty Boosh (2004- ) is a surreal cult comedy which started as a stage show and then as a radio programme. It began on television as a show about two slightly hapless zookeepers under the supervision of Bob Fossil. It then took place in a flat in Camden Town in series 2 and in a store, "Nabootique," in series 3.

Come with us now, on a journey through time and space, to the world of The Mighty Boosh! Taglines

[edit] Series 1

[edit] Killeroo

Howard: I'll take you out for a meal with Mr and Mrs. Pain. Order up some violent quiche.
Both:
Captain Cabinets,
Trapped in cabinets.
Can he get out?
Will he get out?
Course he will.

[edit] Mutants

Bob Fossil: [Addressing children] Why are you people so small? I can rest my drinks on your heads.
Howard: Sometimes I wish I could take all my skin off and writhe about.
Mrs. Gideon: That's disgusting.
Howard: No, it's a metaphor.
Mrs Gideon: Still disgusting.

[edit] Tundra

Howard: Just imagine the headlines; "Howard Moon, colon, Explorer." Got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Vince: "Colon explorer"? I think that's got the wrong ring to it.
Dixon Bainbridge: I understand it took Howard Moon one month to grow that moustache. Check the insect cabinet, I think we're one caterpillar short!

[edit] Jungle

Tommy: There are only two kinds of men who venture into the jungle at this time of night: a fool or an idiot.
Vince: Who are you?
Rudi: I go by many names.
Vince: Well, what are they, then?
Rudi: I'm getting round to that in my own good mystical time.

[edit] Charlie

Vince: You're in for a Hubba-Bubba nightmare.
Vince: It's impossible to be unhappy in a poncho.
Vince: Imagine that! A poncho-sombrero combo. I’ll be off my tits on happiness.

[edit] Electro

Vince Noir: Sorry about earlier. I behaved like a tit. I was having problems coping with the stardom.
Howard Moon: Stardom? You've only been in the band since 10:30 this morning.
Vince Noir: Yeah, but you know: the lifestyle, the drugs...
Howard Moon: The drugs?
Vince Noir: Yeah, well, you know, the coffees. I've had three lattes, and an Americano. I'm blazin'!
[Howard shows up to play in the band.]
Howard Moon: Ladies...
Vince Noir: Howard!
Howard Moon: Hi.
Neon: No way... not the simpleton!
Vince Noir: He's a musical genius!
Ultra: Well, he better be. He looks like a paedophile.

[edit] Hitcher

Howard: Who are you, dealing out stories in chunks? Johnny Segment?
Bob Fossil: Technically, you're not a Peeping Tom if it's one of your relatives.
Naboo: Who are you?
Bryan Ferry: I am Bryan Ferry!
Naboo: Have you ever seen Bryan Ferry?
Bryan Ferry: Yeah, what's your point?
Naboo: You look like Terry Wogan.


The Hitcher: [telling the story of his giant thumb] I didn't know what was happening, for days I was in a trance, but when I came to, there it was, like a fleshy maraca: a thumb of GIGANTIC proportions! "A miracle! A miracle!" I said. "You're a true wizard, how can I ever repay you!?" And he said to me "Five hundred euros". "FIVE HUNDRED EUROS!? YOU WON'T SEE PENNY ONE FROM ME, YOU SLAG!". And as I raised my thumb up to smash his tiny skull in, I could see in his little insect face, I could see him thinking "Oh, I created that monster! I created that thumb, and now it's killing me! My own beast and creation, killing me dead! The sweet irony!". I think he was saying that, although it was a long time ago, and in hindsight, he could've just been shitting himself!
""The Hitcher"": "(Playing slap bass) Ohhh, you love it you slags!"
The Hitcher: [singing] Trapped in a box by a cockney nutjob, have a cup of tea, have a cup of tea! I'm the Hitcher, let me put you in the picture, creeping in you room in the dead of night, with me solo polo vision!
Piper Twins: That's right!
The Hitcher: I'm a cockney geezer, watch me bleed ya! I knew the Ripper when he was just a nipper, I taught him how to slice, I cut him up a treat! Pound ya banana!
Piper Twins: Two pound ya pear!
The Hitcher:Pound ya banana!
Piper Twins: Two pound ya pear!
The Hitcher: Pound ya banana!
Piper Twins:wo pound ya pear!
The Hitcher: Fourteen shillings for your melons!
Piper Twins: Oh yea! We're the Piper Twins! We're Jim and Jackie Piper! We cut through the night like a windscreen wip-ing you away, like raindrops, don't mess with the boys!
The Hitcher: Shut yer noise! Coming in strong like a freakshow nightmare, dancing skeletons, white blue and yellow uns, moving through the shadows with the speed of a cat, and if you cross us, we'll cut ya!
Piper Twins: And you ain't gonna like that!
The Hitcher: I'm bad juju! I use voodoo if I chose to, to harness the forces of evil to abuse you! With power, a polo, an evil magnet, we're sucking out ya soul!
All: And you ain't gonna like that!

[edit] Series 2

[edit] The Call of the Yeti

Kodiac Jack: Book? No book will help you when there's a grizzly on the loose. [throws it out the window and knocks out a grizzly bear]
Kodiac Jack: Listen, boy. Have you ever had your scrotum pulled off by a mountain goat and seen him sell it on eBay a day later?
Howard: No.
Kodiac Jack: Have you ever been rohypnolled by a swan and ended up in Cancun?
Howard: No.
Kodiac Jack: Have you ever been to a key party with a herd of rhinos?
Howard: No.
Kodiac Jack: Well, I have. And it ain't purdy!

[edit] The Priest and the Beast

Rudi: Is it so wrong for a man to love a guitar?
Spider: Yes, it is when he puts his balls inside it and strums himself to ecstasy!
Spider: This is all like Woodstock all over again. The idea is you play and then you scram! But oh, no, you wouldn't listen, would you? You wanted to hang around, didn't you? And then we got roped into tidying up. Me, you and Carlos Santana, hoovering for six weeks!
Rudi: Somebody had to clean up that mess.
Spider: We should have split like The Who. They were off in a shot! I didn't see Roger Daltrey in no flippin' apron. [At the end of the episode Daltrey himself is seen hoovering the set, wearing a pink apron]

[edit] Nanageddon

Vince: Goth Juice... the most powerful hairspray known to man. Made from the tears of Robert Smith.
Vince: Where could she be? How do we find an old lady?
Howard: An old Comanche Indian saying; "The best place to hide a leaf is in the forest."
Vince: You think she's in the forest?
[After asking the Moon for directions]
Saboo: You see, that is why you do not ask the Moon!
Tony Harrison: Listen, I took a chance. We asked the Moon, I didn't know he was an alabaster retard, did I?!

[edit] The Fountain of Youth

Howard: I don't accessorize. I'm Howard Moon. There's a simple truth to me.
Vince: Howard? Do you think it's going to be all right?
Howard: No. We're going to die in the most horrific way known to man.
Vince: We had some good times though, didn't we?
Howard: Yeah... Remember the time we had that soup?
Vince: [Laughs] That was brilliant.
Both: Soup, soup, a tasty soup, soup, a spicy carrot and coriander.
Vince: Chili chowder!
Both: Crouton, crouton, crunchy friends in a liquid broth. I am gazpacho, oh, I am a summer soup, oh! Miso, miso! Fighting in the dojo, miso, miso! Oriental prince in the land of soup!
Vince: Ah, classic times.
Howard: Crazy days.
The Hitcher: Alle-bleeding-luia! I knew it, boy! I had a strange feeling in the pit of me stomach when I woke up this morning. At first I thought it was the crab sticks, but now it all makes sense! The amulet, it's come back at last! When I get that amulet, and get to the Fountain of Youth, I'll rule the Universe, with an army of green bitches, marching and destroying everything in their cockney wake!

[edit] The Legend of Old Gregg

[Talking about Old Gregg]
Lucian: Some say he's half man, half fish. Others say its more of a 70/30 split. Whatever the percentage, he's one fishy bastard.
Colin: Some say he's a ghost; can't catch what don't exist... Hook goes right through him.
Lucian: Some say he's acquired the taste of human meat, won't respond to conventional bait; only way to hook him is to use a child's toe.
The Moon: Some say Old Gregg is like a big fish finger, but big like, umm... like a garage. As big as a garage. Imagine a fish finger as big as a garage! Oooh, it's a big one!
Old Gregg: What're you doing in my waters?
Howard Moon: Just taking the air, you know. Not fishing!
Old Gregg: Then how come there's a hook in my head, fool?
Howard Moon: It's nothing to do with me, sir.
Old Gregg: It's attached to your rod, motherlicker!
Howard Moon: [crying] Don't kill me! I've got so much to give!
Old Gregg: "I'm gonna hurt you"
Howard Moon: "Excuse me?"
Old Gregg: "I like you"
Old Gregg: "Ever drunk Baileys from a shoe?"

[edit] The Nightmare of Milky Joe

Howard: Okay, we've got to pool our resources. Tweezers, matches, twine, geological hammer. What have you got?
Vince: Kings of Leon CD.
Howard: Great. Well, that's useless, isn't it?
Vince: It's not useless, it's a blinding album. Better than their first one, and they came up with it really quickly.
Howard: Thanks, NME. It's useless to us on a desert island though, isn't it?
Vince: Well, it does double up as a mirror. [stares at his reflection in the CD]
Howard: I've actually written a short piece whilst on the island called "Isolation." Perhaps I could play it now?
Vince: Maybe later, eh?.
Howard: Yeah, maybe later.
Vince: Maybe not at all.
Howard: ... Yeah, maybe later.


The Hitcher: [in coconut form] Roll up, roll up! The coconut shy, everyone's a winner! One euro, that's all I'm asking! Grease my cockney palm, and you can throw balls to your hearts' content! Knock their murdering smiles right off their faces! I wanna see twisted bone and meat all over the back wall by the time I'm finished!

[edit] Series 3

[edit] Eels

Eleanor: I'm a woman in the prime of her life who needs love-squeezins!
Howard: The tweed utility patch: scuffproof, weatherproof, even bulletproof, sir.
The Hitcher: Are you bulletproof, boy?
Howard: ... Don't know sir.
The Hitcher: You enjoy that boy? Cockney urine all over your face?

[edit] Journey to the Center of the Punk

Howard: What are you angry about?
Vince: Government.
Howard: Government? Ooohh.
Vince: And climate change.
Howard: Climate change?
Vince: It's getting hot, Howard. Haven't you noticed?
Howard: Why do you care about that? Because it makes your hair a little more difficult to straighten?
Vince: That, and it's a bit clammy.
Vince: I don't pick stuff up, I knock stuff down!

[edit] The Power of the Crimp

Howard: Come on then, let's have it. Every day you're late and every day another crazy excuse. What is it this time? Lego avalanche trapped you, did it? Your pajamas turned into nitrogen and you got stuck on the ceiling of your bedroom? Giant kingfisher came into your room and pecked you under the duvet? Got your jodphurs caught on a magic hedgehog? I write them down, you know. What is it? A scarecrow took you to Paris?
Vince: I just had a few things to do, that's all.
Howard: That's not funny. That's not even going in the book. That's awful.
Vince: Not everything has to be funny you know... sometimes life can take a serious turn, colors can fade to black.
Howard: Have you got my script?
Vince: All he needs now is a tall northern jazzy freak with a moustache and no dress sense.
Howard: Is this how you win people over?
Vince: Ah, look, I can't express myself like you! I haven't got a pencil case story! He's tryin' to drive a wedge between us, Howard! We've got history! We're like ying and yang!
Howard: Yeah, well, I'm not gonna take him up on his offer, you know. I don't need him. I've already got a shallow mate who dresses like a... futuristic prostitute.
Vince: [smiles] Thanks, Howard.
Vince, Howard, Naboo and Bollo:
Tube Mouse, I love you so,
I took you from the underground,
And brought you home,
Put you in my jacket pocket,
And took you to the meeting,
Put you in my jacket pocket,
And took you to the meeting.

[edit] The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox

Howard: I'm going to Jazzercise. Working out to hot be-bop. Circuit training to John Coltrane.
Dennis: When it comes to drug-taking, I think you'll find that Kirk leaves us all in the dust!
Tony Harrison: What's he looking at?
Dennis: Nobody knows. Kirk is journeying far into the astral realm.
Tony Harrison: He's off his tits!


Dennis: Naboo, the time has come for your execution. It is not a task any of us wanted, and so to protect the identity of the executioner, he shall be wearing a hood.
[Cut to Tony Harrison, in a black executioner's mask, trying to get up the guillotine's steps]
Tony Harrison: I can't get up these stairs! What is this bullshit!? I asked for a ramp!
Naboo: [sarcastically] I wonder who that is!
Saboo: Maybe we should have got someone with legs to do this!
Crack Fox: "I'm gonna make you wear a little dress and hurt you"
Crack Fox: "Imma done a tummy shame"

[edit] Party

Tony Harrison: I have bought not one, not two, but three crates of poppers! We are having it large!
Dennis: Where is Mrs. Harrison in all this?
Tony Harrison: She's staying with her sister in Bournemouth. I just have to find a quiet spot, tell her I'm going to bed at half nine and carte blanche! I am greenlit the whole way!
Dennis: [believing Lester to have been with his wife] Prepare to die, you prancing tit! [he beheads Lester] And let that be a lesson to the lot of you!
Tony Harrison: Dennis, you dildo! What the fuck are you doing!? That's the wrong geezer!
Tony Harrison: Feel my multi-hexagonal textured alien barbed penis inside of you!

[edit] The Chokes

Bob Fossil: Hey, Moon, who are you? Zorro on Gay Night? [Howard says nothing.] Nice comeback.
Montgomery Flange: Lesson 49: Object Animation. What do you see in front of you?
Howard Moon: A pencil.
Montgomery Flange: A pencil? No, no, no! Look, it's Niagara Falls, it's a seagull, it's cheese in the shape of a question mark! It's anything you bloody want it to be! You try!... Come on!
Howard Moon: I don't know what to do. I can't make it into anything else. It's just a pencil, you stupid old git!
Montgomery Flange: Yes! You've found the truth! You're an actor now and I'm as hard as the cobra!

[Rudi and The Hitcher are swordfighting.]
Rudi: You'll never win, you know.
The Hitcher: Oh, yeah? Why's that?
Rudi: I t
The Hitcher: You might have taught me everything I know, but you didn't teach me everything you know.
Rudi: ... What does that mean?

Rudi The Forest is a cheeky one tonight.
