Why...

[pettythief]

...are the only people on my friend's list obsessed with the Might Boosh in North America?

I'M NOT IN NORTH AMERICA! *waves*

There are plenty on my friends' list that are, and they're in Britain. Personally I don't grok what The Mighty Boosh is about, and I find Noel Fielding very annoying, but YMMV. "Surrealist" humour? Pah! Give me the Goodies any day.

Because they like flouncy English types there?

Some of us do. Yes. The more eyeliner, the better.

WELL, as for myself... It was through Moz

Rachel and I gab about it a lot too! But, although I may not seem so (because I now have a lot of xcore Boosh fans on my f-list, both from England and North America), I'm pretty sensible about it too. I don't think they're a "comedy revelation"; I think they're good (often) and interesting (usually). (And yes, brilliant, occasionally.) For me it's more to the point that I find Barratt/Fielding very slashable (and likeable) and the LJ fandom is a hugely fun place to hang out (especially during this season, since The Boosh are throwing a lot of, um, "material" slashers' way).

what comedy show in america did you see noel on :o ??

i heard of them in england, from my brit friend who was utterly obsessed with it.

maybe americans like it because its so massively different from any type of show we have here? i mean that kind of comedy simply doesn't exists in the states.

...cue the anti-North American comments, lol!

Well, speaking for the North Americans on your f-list who are obsessed with lady-men with questionable dress-sense, we don't have ANYTHING like Noel Fielding here, so that might explain it. And a lot of us are former Moz-slashers who need something to do now that our comm has died!
