Mmm you like that and i hate it, yet the reverse on Boosh, bit of polarisation there. Think BR might need a couple of you tube tasters to decide.

But you like the IT crowd...horses for courses.

Are you too similar to Munch to be able to watch 2 pints?

No, the IT crowd is shit, it's up there with the Inbetweeners or whaever it's called, sounds like it's about hermaphrodites.

Mighty Boosh is ace, which also reminds me of another recent unsung great, Nathan Barley.

BR i think the whole of Nathan Barley is on Youtube, here's part 1 of episode 1, totally fucking wasp, again, very Marmite though.
