The Mighty Boosh (2004) - 7 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Only show series: Whole show All

Across whole show

In 'Hitcher', the Hitcher character has a massive green thumb, but in the second series, they removed the thumb (episode 4 Fountain of youth), perhaps to make it easier for the acting. [Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have said that some events in the show are deliberately made to be inconsistent with previous episodes in order for it to be funnier. They even joke about it on the DVD commentary. For example, Bollo is seen dying at the end of the Season 1 episode "Bollo", and yet he is still alive in all future episodes.]

In the second series, Howard can talk to and understand Bollo. This doesn't make sense. Vince can, as he is 'Mowgli in flares' so can talk to animals, and since Bollo is Naboo's familiar, Naboo can understand him. Howard is neither and so shouldn't be able to understand him. [Bollo is a gorilla like Brian from Family Guy is a dog - he talks, we understand him. There's no magic involved. In later episodes a checkout operator at a supermarket understands him perfectly.]

In the first series, Howard can't play any instrument in case he is possessed by the Spirit Of Jazz (episode 7 - Electro). However, in the second series, this notion is ignored in order for Howard to be able to be in a band with Vince and Bollo. This would probably have been okay if Naboo had produced a cure or something, which didn't happen. [You mean, we didn't SEE it happen. Doesn't mean it didn't.]

In "Killeroo," Howard is forced to fight because he has some kind of physical deformity on his abdomen. However, he is seen later in the series, in "Electro," stripped down to his underpants with no deformity in sight. [Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have said that some events in the show are deliberately made to be inconsistent with previous episodes in order for it to be funnier. They even joke about it on the DVD commentary. For example, Bollo is seen dying at the end of the Season 1 episode "Bollo", and yet he is still alive in all future episodes.]

Series 1, "Hitcher": At 15:06, when Vince is talking to Brain in the forest, Brian pushes the tree over and as Vince says, "Anyway, look Brian," the tree falls down slightly again. Vince must have thought that part would have been cut because he says, "Anyway, look Brian" again. [There's no continuity reason why he couldn't have just said the line twice.] Corrected by Ictoabu

In 'Electro' (Season 1 Episode 7), during the black and white scene there are several moments where Noel Fielding's white skin can be seen poking out of his sleeve while he is dressed as the Spirit of Jazz, despite the character's skin being black. [The Spirit of Jazz isn't black - he is a striking, black and white pattern. His wrists are white, part of the pattern. Not a mistake.]

In 'Call of the Yeti' (Season 2 Episode 1), Vince receives a copy of Cheekbone Magazine from a Ninja because it goes out of date every three hours. However, when he receives his next delivery later in the episode, when they're preparing to rescue Howard, the Ninja gives him the same copy as before. [Maybe the content changed but the cover is the same.] Corrected by Ictoabu
