Suz Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi, England This isn't about soccer (sorry), but I'm wondering if someone can tell me the name of a freaky comedy show I saw a bit of. It had a horrible creature named "Old Greg" in it. He's like a transvestive mermaid/man who brings fishermen into his cave and forces then to marry him- weirdest damn thing I think I've seen, and so funny I could hardly even laugh because I was traumatized!

Suz Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Maybe that's it. One of my kid's friends e-mailed that clip to her, and we sat here and about peed our pants watching it- crazy show! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thats the way to start this glorious morning , The Mighty Boosh? I have seen that show a few times and i kinda like its off wall humour !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledded1 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Cosidering all the comedy I have liked and loved down the years, dark, surreal, crazy and downright daft, I really can't get into the Mighty Boosh at all. Sorry guys. Perhaps its in the bracket of ' trying too hard to be off the wall, zany surreal' it feels more forced than naturally funny to me.

whyalla Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 So this must be the new fuckwit central but I need to stay within fuckwit centrals' forum guidelines or else someone might cry. I love this show, I went to see the stage show at the Manchester Apollo back in about 2000, it was a stunning !! You lucky devil. I saw the Pantomime a couple of years ago. We we're going to go in fancy dress. Me as Papa Laz and Nessie as Tubbs. Glad we didn't, as we would have been the only ones there dressed up! It was a bit disappointing actually. I bought all the series and we watched in chronological order so we could understand 'what the hell was going on'! Classic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more hope than he was given- IF he is attended by a good cardiologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue- pictures don't give info either. A hob. Could be either of these A household spirit in Northern England. A generic term for various Dwarf-like and Elf-like magical creature in Germanic folklore. A Devil The top cooking surface on a cooker A male ferret A tool used in hobbing, or gear-making A robot-like creature in the webcomic Dresden Codak A stake used as a target in the game of quoits But most probably an appliance that sits on top of a worktop and is for cooking on. It may be powered by gas or electricity. Unless your really unlucky and get a ferret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
