History Series / TheMightyBoosh

* EasterEgg: Several on the DVDs.

** The trumpet-playing rabbit from "The Priest and the Beast" makes a cameo in "The Crimp"

* BearsAreBadNews: Ivan the hairy Russian carpet-guy, [[spoiler:who saves Howard and Vince from an encounter with the Hitcher.]] He HATES slap bass. Also, the polar bear Vince meets in ''Tundra'', [[spoiler:but only to Black Frost.]] To Vince, however, the polar bear is straight-up BearyFriendly.

* CantTakeCriticism: Howard flies into a violent rage if anyone even starts to criticize his work. He even punches Mrs. Gideon for it!

* CatchPhrase:

* CloudCuckooLand: The place Howard and Vince live in is supposed to be London, but instead of British currency they use euros, animals attempt to get busy with humans (and indeed talk and DJ at clubs) and no one finds it odd, time travel is as simple as hailing a taxi, sometimes popstars are birds, magic is real and involves both bureaucratic councils and a lot of drug taking, and strange, immortal Cockney green witches inhabit the streets.
** It would seem this extends to the rest of the solar system, as the Moon is something of an EldritchAbomination (apparently having driven a man who looked up to the Moon to "[Have] a shit on a salad."), is completely and utterly batshit insane, and often mentions other planets as living beings, with Jupiter showing up to eat a fake moon that inexplicably appeared from nowhere.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Every single character on the show, including one shot extras, think that Howard and Vince are in a relationship.

* {{Fartillery}}: The Crack Fox uses his bad diet against Vince to render him unconscious.

* {{Flanderization}}: Vince and Howard, in Series 2 and especially Series 3. Vince becomes more vain and self-centered, while Howard becomes more uncool and out-of-touch, traits that were hinted at in Series 1 but not the main focus of the characters.

* LeFilmArtistique: In "The Chokes", pretentious Danish filmmaker Jurgen Haabermaaster makes these sort of films. One example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAlxNNvfvJs ''The Doctor and the Pencil'']], "an exploration of pain and rage… so playful" features a doctor and a man in a pencil costume screaming at each other while an unshaded lightbulb swings between them; the doctor also pounds a piece of meat with a telephone handset while yelling "MAKE THE CALL". It's shot in black and white with enough {{Chiaroscuro}} to make everything creepy.

* TheGhost: Vince's friend Leroy. He's appeared onscreen a grand total of ''one time'', and even then he was wearing KISS makeup and a wig so we're not entirely sure what he looks like.
* GhostInTheMachine: In "Journey to the Center of the Punk" Howard enters Vince's brain to find it ruled by his single anthropomorphic brain cell, supported by a staff of secretaries and security guards.

* ManiacMonkeys: The Ape of Death and his two mandrill guards, who nearly toss Howard and Vince into the Pit of Eternal Fire, just for Howard bumming a fox. Thankfully, he becomes a lot kinder after Vince fixes his hair.

* NoFourthWall: Every episode in series one begins with Vince and Howard, in character, explaining what is going to happen in the show and usually discussing Howard's acting skills.
%% NoIndoorVoice: Bob Fossil and Dixon Bainbridge.

* ThePhilosopher: Rudi van DiSarzio; subverted with Howard. (Subverted with Rudi too, honestly; he's not as wise as he seems. Makes sense, considering he and Spider are basically exaggerations of Howard and Vince)

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Several characters have mistakenly treated them as a couple, often thinking that [[DudeLooksLikeALady Vince]] is Howard's wife. They usually leave it alone, but Howard denies it in a couple of episodes.

* GutturalGrowler: The Crack Fox, whenever he gets serious.

*** Lampshaded by one of his minions who mutters "Apples and pears and other assorted fruits"

** Actually, just about anyone played by Rick Fulcher. [[MemeticMutation 'Oh! Ah! Little to the left...']]
