new zealand, for all its charm and its wonder, had become traumatic, occasionally even boring, overly well-trodden ground for mako over the course of thirty years on the north island, and while he’d known that he was essentially committing suicide in the disruption of his safety and routine and the wholesale uprooting of his life, he’d become so desperate for an other existence that he’d perceived no alternative choice but to leave. He’d moved to new orleans in the late spring of eight years ago pursuing a writing/editing job at a quirky little publication called endymion, smelling like way too tired for his age and running away from messes partially of his own making.

British humor always has a way of toeing the line between hilarity and utter bleakness, after all. Promo poster for Flight of the ConchordsĪt times, it’s hard to say which show verges on being more macabre, though it usually happens to be The Mighty Boosh (see: “The Nightmare of Milky Joe”). In terms of costuming, The Mighty Boosh is most definitely more bombastic and Bowie-inspired (though Flight of the Conchords does have an episode called “Bowie”). Both shows, however, put great emphasis on the music and performances of the musical duos they star. Not so similarĪlthough Flight of the Conchords also has a light-hearted feel, there is a more darkly realistic element to it, whereas The Mighty Boosh tends to favor a more dreamlike aesthetic. Unlike Flight of the Conchords, which highlights problems that are much more specific to New York City, The Mighty Boosh never focuses on the poverty aspect of the main characters’ lives. With a stoner shaman named Naboo (Michael Fielding) and his familiar–a gorilla that goes by Bollo–to keep them company in their flat, the good times never stop with Howard and Vince. The Mighty Boosh first aired in 2004, and followed the surreal hijinks of Howard Moon (Barratt) and Vince Noir (Fielding) as they attempt to make it big on the London music scene. Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding as Howard Moon and Vince Noir Most importantly, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt’s Britishness provide a distinctly different comedic tone from Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie’s more deadpan New Zealand brand of humor. Apart from being shows that star two male musicians, Flight of the Conchords and The Mighty Boosh do not have as much in common as initially meets the eye.
