    I saw a little bit of an episode of this a couple of years ago, it made me chuckle once or twice, but I didn't really get where they were coming from or what they were trying to do and ignored it. Recently I caught a couple of episodes and found it hilarious, I've really got into it. Anyone else into it?

    Topshop!

    I absolutely loved the first and second series, I feel the (recently finished) third series was lacking something though:confused:

    Nope, not a fan at all, a friend is obsessed with it, but I think I would rather watch Richard Madeley doing his Ali G impressions continuously!

    I have a few episodes on my harddrive(Digital terrestrial recorder)

    I have that Topshop episode. The two cavemen keep saying "Topshop". Apparently everyone is supposed to be admitted to hospital because it was so funny. Didn't know a clothes shop could be hilarious.

    I have the dancing bear episode, the bubble gum one, and the experimental freaks episode, where one character has a rabbits head that falls off.
    I have one of them which features the talking moon. He spins around, his face looks like it had been dumped in milk or semolina. Anyway, he spins around and has his own opinion.


    I think this show has originality. Perhaps in time, it will become appreciated. The show simply highlights British humour. Americans probably cry at our jokes. No offence, our humour is quite strange.

    Quality stuff, been a fan since the beginning of the TV series. Got a series of fanatical Booshies at school too. I did feel the 3rd series was substandard tho. Going to see them live this year yay!

    I love it, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's great to have around and ask someone if they've seen it and if not show it to them. My favorite is "Old Gregg".

    I saw the first episode of the third season, I wasn't too impressed by it at first. The weird thing is, it's got better the more I watch it.

    Not the series...just that one episode. It's the only comedy I've seen so far where I can watch it, then watch it again and find it funnier (excluding stuff like Futurama where you have to look some of the bloody jokes up on Wikipedia).

    I'm old Greeeeg! Apparently that was inspired by something one of their friends heard shouted at a festival, which makes it ten times funnier thinking about all the things I've heard shouted in festival crowds. I'm surprised to hear people like the Boosh in America, seems like a very different kind of humour to the big American comedies....
