wyrdolafr BS: can't stop laughing the IT Crowd (27) RE: BS: can't stop laughing the IT Crowd 05 Feb 09


I really enjoyed Snuffbox myself - although my appraisal isn't quite as high as yours, Insane Beard. I think Berry seems to get passed over far too often compared to a lot of his contemporaries, and I don't understand why, as you point out yourself, Snuffbox got ignored. At least some people watched it though, I don't know many people at all that saw the God-rock spoof AD/BC (again, has a lot of the Boosh-related people in it &c).

I've often wondered whether Boosh would have been as popular if Fielding didn't have a 'Jackie star pin-up' appeal to a lot of the female fans (maybe some male ones too).

I like comedians that do music but I think Berry's a bit of a one-trick pony in that a lot of what he does is pretty similar when broken down to chords and melodies. When it comes to comedy-music one trick ponies, I much prefer Matt Holness. Merriman Weir was amazing.
