Amazon.co.uk Review
Is there anything on television quite like The Mighty Boosh? Bluntly, who cares, for the ongoing adventures and antics of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt remain a comedic treat, even if season three does have its up and down moments. Let's temper that, quickly: The Mighty Boosh on one of its lesser days can still generate more laughs than 90% of other modern-day comedy series, and that's certainly the case with the six episodes here. Lead characters Howard and Vince are found working in the Nabootique this time, and it's not long before they're joined by some old favourites. Cue Bob Fossil, the sublime Shamen, and the Moon, among others. If there's one downside to The Mighty Boosh's third season, it is perhaps a little too much self-indulgence, which occasionally tempers things. But then that's set against some brilliantly ambitious episodes, some of the finest surrealist humour on the telly, and the terrific Crack Fox. There's little denying that as a show, The Mighty Boosh can easily be classed as bizarre, bonkers, and straight-out odd. But here, that's turned into the show's strength. And given the side-splitting laughs it continues to generate, we wouldn't have it any other way. --Jon Foster

 Bouncy bouncy: the boosh is bouncing back into shape January 4, 2009

I believe the first couple of series are somewhat cheap, a myriad of bad jokes. But, as Fielding and Barratt step up to become writers, this has
been ( in my eyes ) the best series yet. Eels was odd, but was one of the best songs in the history of Boosh.Journey to the center of the punk ismy favourite, although it was blatantly obvious that was copied from a real film. I absoulutely loved the stationary village idea, which was totally original to my knowledge.I try to forget the power of the crimp, as it was not very funny or exciting. I enjoyed everything else, especially Party, with the glorious bouncy bouncy crimp!

After a mediocre second series this is a return to the Boosh we loved in the first series. Packed with crimp-offs and a host of new characters. You will be taking retro to it's logical conclusion.

So the first two series were great. The radio series was great. They had energy, origionality, verve, were set in a world outside of our own. They had an awkward hero in Howard Moon that we could all laugh at and yet root for. Characters like Bob Fossil, Charlie, Old Greg and Milky Joe populated a world that was rarely not funny, interesting or different.
Series 3: Set in Camden, staring NOEL FEILDING!!!!!!!!.... oh yeah, and julien barrat... sort of. The bumbling hero is now the sidekick. all the old characters are re-run and the jokes are largely re-cycled, take crimping. A few mildly amusing moments, most of them involving howard moon 'its whats inside that counts' etc.
I mean I never liked the 'noel fielding show'... i like the mighty boosh. and this is a joke. its got nme slapped all over it, for gods sake its set in camden. When you compare it to the old shows and other great comedy series like snuff box and darkplace, its very unfunny and that why im handing out the singular star.
Get back to what made the show great, and i dont mean just use the old ideas but the premise of the show has changed. nobody cares about the old characters anymore, or i hope at least, everyone is sick to death of vince.

Series 3 is sort of uneven - three standout episodes that are strong enough to overwhelm the lazy, self indulgent strand running through all six. The main problem for me was that they brought to the fore those wonderful details that added unique texture in series 1 & 2. For example, crimping. Before crimping had a name, it was something that cropped up every now and then in a natural, brilliant sort of way. In series three there's an entire episode dedicated to crimping. Knowing it's something that can be taught, can be practiced and even copied just sorta cheapened it. The same goes for the Council of Shamen, and particularly Tony Harrison who's been transformed into a hard living drug fiend.
The other big problem is that the Boosh now inhabit the same space as a lot of the real world, and it's not a particularly great one - it's full of Camden posers. In Party, they're even told by Vince that they're the chosen people. They're arrogant, shallow body fascists. That was charming when Vince was the only one and it was taken to a surrealist extreme, but now it's just irritating. That's one of the bigger problems - Vince has stopped being lovable and the friendship between him and Howard descends into point-scoring and spite.
The standouts are Eels (the Hitcher remains reliably nasty), Journey to the Centre of Punk and especially the Crack Fox (definitely Julian Barrett's best turn and an effective comedy/horror mix). Even those have moments you'd rather weren't there, just as the weaker episodes have moments you want to savour.
Mighty Boosh 3 is not as good as their previous work but it's still better than any other comedy on British TV. I reckon series 4 will be a vast improvement and in the meantime, it's still not that bad. They just set the bar so high before that it was hard to top it the third time out.
Bouncy Bouncy, oh such a good time! September 16, 2008

Well, after reading the critical comments of previous posters I felt it my duty to add a more positive one! I do love how people are quite happy to sit in their armchairs with their Horlicks and pick apart someone's hard work(!)
True, Noel and Julian are more famous now due mainstream TV coverage and Noel seems to be in the right circles with all the coolest bands etc but I don't see how this is reflected in the material in Series 3!!!
They do use the same characters in this series as 2 but so what!?! It works!!!
They are some CLASSIC moments in it, the Journey to the Centre of Punk is totally off the wall seeing Vince dressing up as a range of weird and wonderful versions of himself! :)
I don't know why people begin to despise things when they become popular, that's the ultimate triumph for bands/artists/comedians etc - to become popular and all people can say is 'they've sold out' just because they are living it up!!! Selling out (in my opinion) is when you become something you're not due to pressures of the mainstream in whatever area you're in - they, as you have all kept repeating have stayed the same!
Whatever anyway - I love it and think they have created something new and exciting with ALL 3 SERIES and that is hard in this day and age as everyone seems to be copying old stuff albeit some in a strange paradox!
