History Creator / NoelFielding

Noel Fielding (born 21 May 1973) is a British PerkyGoth comedian. He's a renowned {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A little boy from a magical wonderland of talking dragons and enchanted sea horses. He wears capes.

* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks about twenty five, when in fact he's forty-three.

He's the star of the ''Series/TheMightyBoosh,'' in which he plays the gender bending, ambiguously bisexual, beautiful idiot Vince Noir (though in reality, Fielding himself is highly intelligent and [[FauxYay almost straight.]]) He also had a recurring role in ''Series/TheITCrowd'' as beautifully mannered goth sysadmin Richmond Felicity Avenal. Additionally, he was a minor character in the British indie film ''Film/BunnyAndTheBull,'' and he's currently a team captain on ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks.'' For the past couple of years, he's been a panel member on the ''Series/BigFatQuizOfTheYear,'' pairing up with Creator/RussellBrand (as "The Goth Detectives") and Creator/RichardAyoade, and doodling all over the answer sheets. He now has his own [[SketchComedy sketch show,]] ''Series/NoelFieldingsLuxuryComedy.''

* OneOfUs: It doesn't come up often but he seems to be a pretty big fan of ''Series/DoctorWho.'' He's inserted references to Daleks in Series/TheMightyBoosh, he seemed fairly knowledgeable in the Buzzcocks Doctor Who special, and he once did a radio interview where he expressed desire to play The Doctor, and then spent several minutes gushing about his favourite Doctors to the host. He loves Eleven, but says nothing can ever beat Ten.

** Another episode where he actually invoked this trope was where he teamed with Paloma Faith and Tony Law (who is a complete nutter). "I'm like Creator/JackNicholson in Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest!" Mind you, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-0rZInnOIg in this particular episode,]] he was dressed as a "mouse-cat," and Paloma [[spoiler: was wearing grannies on her tits.]] That should say something.

* MistakenForGay: Frequently due to his flamboyant fashion sense and long hair. His official stance on the matter is: "I won't mind a feelup," but he identifies as straight. He dated Dee Plume (of Robots in Disguise fame) for ten years.

* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks about twenty five, when in fact he's forty.

* ContinuityNod: On one episode of Series/NevermindTheBuzzcocks, he tells a story about a llama eating his hair when he was a child. He relates this same anecdote in the 2010 edition of Series/TheBigFatQuizOfTheYear.

** During one of his appearances on ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks,'' guest host [[MockTheWeek Frankie Boyle]] remarked: "To me Noel looks like a raven that a wizard has turned into a very beautiful young lady."

** Lampshaded on the Series/BigFatQuizOfTheYear 2010 when he took offense to being asked if he was "under forty" and Creator/JonathanRoss pointed out that he looks like a vampire and could in fact be [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 500 years old.]]

* CharacterTic: Watch an interview or a quiz show appearance and take a drink every time you see him run his fingers through or play with his hair. You'll probably get alcohol poisoning.

** He recently performed on Comic Relief's Let's Dance, in which he dressed as Music/KateBush. [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/BasilBrush/Blog/180446_10150090688166910_539316909_6783401_6793048_n.jpg Red dress and all.]]

* IllBoy: Has Gilbert's Syndrome, a chronic condition, and though he has pretty good control of it, he's occasionally had to bow out of roles because of the illnesses that come with it.

Noel Fielding is a British PerkyGoth comedian. He's a renowned CloudCuckooLander: a little boy from a magical wonderland of talking dragons and enchanted sea horses. He wears capes.

He's the star of the ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'', in which he plays the gender bending, ambiguously bisexual, beautiful idiot Vince Noir (though in reality, Fielding himself is highly intelligent and [[FauxYay almost straight]].) He also had a recurring role in ''Series/TheITCrowd'' as beautifully-mannered goth sysadmin Richmond Felicity Avenal. Additionally, he was a minor character in the British indie film ''Film/BunnyAndTheBull'', and he's currently a team captain on ''NeverMindTheBuzzcocks''. For the past couple of years, he's been a panel member on ''TheBigFatQuizOfTheYear'', pairing up with RussellBrand (as "The Goth Detectives") and Richard Ayoade, and doodling all over the answer sheets. He now has his own [[SketchComedy sketch show]], ''Series/NoelFieldingsLuxuryComedy''.

His best friend is Julian Barratt, and this pairing is what led to the Boosh in the first place. His first major project was a short film called ''Sweet'', although it was ''The Mighty Boosh'' that thrust him into the spotlight. He is the subject of many obsessive fans, mostly in the indie crowd. He's also incredibly attractive, and dresses to accentuate it.

!!Noel Fielding exhibits the following tropes:

--> I invented apples, I invented pandas, and caps. I invented soil.
--> I'd have been a lord. Shooting people that were on my land. With a wig. Yeah. And some crisps.

** His character on the ''Mighty Boosh'' once wrote a book about a wad of bubblegum that vacuumed up Inuits and made wigs for trumpets, spanners, and monkey nuts.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Hence the song "Androgynoel".
** During one of his appearances on ''NeverMindTheBuzzcocks'', guest host [[MockTheWeek Frankie Boyle]] remarked: "To me Noel looks like a raven that a wizard has turned into a very beautiful young lady."
*** Jimmy Carr stated that he looked like "Rod Stewart made love to a raven." And it's true.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: As Vince puts it in ''TheMightyBoosh'':
--> I'm the great confuser! "Is it a man, is it a woman? Oh, I don't know if I mind!".
* FashionableAsymmetry: He arrived for his interview on Alan Carr dressed in a bunch of [[RummageSaleReject sewn together bin bags, tights and gold boots]]. He looked fantastic. As he always does.

* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Subverted. His clothing in real life is just as strange as [[TheMightyBoosh his most famous character's]].
* InnocentBlueEyes: Comes off this way. He makes too many sex jokes and has too much of a traumatic past to be truly "innocent", but as Julian Barratt once said, his personality comes off as that of a child telling a story to an adult.
* ManChild: He seem to be in a perpetual state of wonder at the world around him. He once said he looked like Mel Gibson, if Mel Gibson was nine. No, he doesn't make much sense. Just go with it.
* MistakenForGay: Frequently due to his flamboyant fashion sense and long hair. His official stance on the matter is "I won't mind a feelup", but he identifies as straight. He dated Dee Plume (of Robots In Disguise fame) for ten years.

** Lampshaded on TheBigFatQuizOfTheYear 2010 when he took offense to being asked if he was "under forty" and JonathanRoss pointed out that he looks like a vampire and could in fact be [[Really700YearsOld 500 years old.]]
* OneOfUs: It doesn't come up often but he seems to be a pretty big fan of ''Series/DoctorWho''. He's inserted references to Daleks in TheMightyBoosh, he seemed fairly knowledgeable in the Buzzcocks Doctor Who special, and he once did a radio interview where he expressed desire to play The Doctor, and then spent several minutes gushing about his favourite Doctors to the host. He loves Eleven, but says nothing can ever beat Ten.
* OnlySaneMan: Amazingly, this can happen on certain episodes of ''NeverMindTheBuzzcocks'', as seen when he was teamed with Music/PalomaFaith, Jedward, and "Team Abstract" (Stacey Solomon and Tony Law).
** Another episode where he actually invoked this trope was where he teamed with Paloma Faith and Tony Law (who is a complete nutter). "I'm like Jack Nicholson in OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest!" Mind you, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-0rZInnOIg&feature=endscreen&NR=1 in this particular episode]], he was dressed as a "mouse-cat", and Paloma [[spoiler: was wearing grannies on her tits]]. That should say something.

* StupidSexyFlanders: Has confused many a hormone-addled teenage boy.

* CampStraight
** AmbiguouslyBi: Identifies as straight, but admitted in an interview he had "Gotten Off" with men while drunk and said he "Wasn't sure". He's also expressed attraction to several men he was friends with or was a fan of on occasion, and not always in a joking manner.
** And now he's gone on record stating "I love all sexes" when discussing his sexual preference on twitter.
