You guys should all watch it. Episode 5 is provably the best yet, guest directed by Michel Gondry.

Haven't even seen all of series 1 yet, but I do like this very lots.

There is another rap song in series 2, that is pretty much as good as that one.

The songs aren't anything like as good as they were in the first series, but it's still excellent and you should be watching it. So there.

I disagree, Hurt Feelings and Too many dicks are at least as good as anything in the first series.

They're the best S2 has had to offer, certainly. But they'd be at best about average for S1, and nowhere near the dizzy heights of Business Time or Inner City Pressure or Don't Wear The Ring.

Indeed. I love the irony.

Isn't it New Zealand-ish anyway?

But other than that and the trifling details that FotC a) features really good songs and b) is really, really funny Runcle's comparison is 100% correct.

I've seen a couple of episodes and they're both quite similar in format and content. A friend of mine is a massive fan of FotC and he loves Mighty Boosh also. I think they're both fairly good, myself.

I think the difference is generally that the Conchords make some degree of sense, but are silly. Boosh are just intentionally surreal, to the point where (IMO) it looks like they're really just being twats. Which i a shame, as I like both of them outside of the show, and inside the show when they're not just wandering around going, "Yeeeah, wooooow, maaaaaaan, it's an elephant made of monkey cheese. Far ouuuuuut!"

It's a shame, because if you can get past that, there's some quite clever stuff in the Boosh.

Is series 2 significantly better than the end of series 1? I got really bored of series one by episode 8.
