I am shocked and outraged :angry:

Can we campaign?

They should get beats.
The Boosh should just sue their arses, they probably have the power and monmey now to do so.

And of course popularity

Is this what mighty boosh is like?
...yeah definitely not gonna try and watch it now.

Good grief... but do you reckon they could've done it without asking???

Waaaatch itttttt *prods* Don't go by a crappy sugar puffs advert =[

aparently theyre getting lawyers involbed

http://www.brandrepublic.com/Industr...-Mighty-Boosh/

according to this they are looking at legal action

OMG!
The Boosh is a billion times better than that advert!
*wants to strangle the honey monster*

its anoying cause hteyre clearly trying to make the honey monster out to be bollo

Er why?
I havent a clue what people are angry about!
Its just an advert!

whats wrong with it?

No idea

The Mighty Boosh is ***** anyways...

And so are Sugar Puffs...

The honey monster has just embarrassed himself. That was a rubbish crimp! His vocals are far too raspy.

QIA. :thumbup:

Worst Crimp Ever.

The Boosh better sue Sh*tty Puffs ass for such a shameful attempt.

If you're going to rip someone off, at least do it well.

I remember eating sugar puffs. Yum.

I heard about this on the radio.

I've never seen the Mighty Boosh, and don't want to either.
Nor do I like sugar puffs, so y'know.

x

the sugar puff thing, has such a scarey voice.. eeek
i wouldnt like to eat breakfast with him >.<

What's that stand for? :ermm:

Oh dear god.

I like sugar puffs...

*blinks*

But...its a honey monster...its...not real surely?
I think I might be missing something.

Its a man in a suit and then someone doing a voice over.
They can't be suing the honey monster itself.
Am I being thick? Or misunderstanding something?

Quoted
In
Agreement

Ooooo thank you. =)

When I first saw it I thought it was a joke
Next time I realised it was actually real and I was shocked and annoyed
They're so much worse than the Mighty Boosh so why try even copying them?!

To anyone who doesn't get why they're suing.
The wee limerick type thing they did is called crimping and The Boosh invented it, it's just little bits they do randomly in the show, but it's unique to The Boosh and what the Sugar Puffs guys did was a blatant rip off.

And they did it badly, The Boosh is amazing and even then crimping isn't a huuuuuuuuuuge part of it. Except in that episode all about crimping, obviously :/

Here's the awesome that is The Boosh crimp.

Well explained (Y)

That is...really quite strange.
What is the rest of the program about?

Essentially, [to steal something from the papes]

Its closest counterpart is The League of Gentlemen, but unlike them The world of the Boosh is much happier and phsycadellic. It begins in the first series with howard and vince as zoo keepers, but they go away having adventures.
By the third seriees hteyre been at the zoo, a flat and a shop. There are returning characters such as the hitcher a brightgreen cockney nutter with a giant thumb.

It really makes no sense, and its not really meant to. Its just suppose to behappy and nonsenisical and has great throaway lins like, No-one can be unhappy in a poncho. Which says it all really.


Im gonna shut up now.....

as the boosh are so fond of saying "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE"

You really don't want to know!

I think it's a very weird show, but at least it's a success at being unique. Well if you think about it, it could slightly be compared to Mighty Python at times.

But I'm not a huge fan of it, I only watch it if someone else wants to because I'm not really bothered.

Watching it today when I go to my cousins with her and her friend.

f*cking sugarpuffs.
I almost cried when i saw in on tv.

The Boosh is legendary.

It is
i have been watching it, and ranting all w/e

Never did like sugarpuffs anyway *chuckles to self*.

I think it's a bit sad that someone would do such a bad, blatant rip off of something, for a product so...irrelevant to people of that sort of age in regards to originality and general coolness.

Of course there will be people who'd disagree..

I saw it today....

It's Crap



=/

I agree it is just an advert.

But a bloody good working one, my boyfriend wants Sugar Puffs after watching it lol! =D

I went to see the recording of the BBC3 Boosh documentary thing, and Noel/Julian did some live stuff before and after, including a quick crimp in which they said 'honey monster no no'.
Didn't understand untill I saw the crap advert.
It is just an advert, but it's like... creative theft.
E.g. if you made up a joke and told a friend, and then the friend told everyone without asking you/took credit for it, you'd be annoyed.

Not sure that made sense! But yes, I was irritated.

I don't think "crimping" is The Mighty Boosh's idea anyway.

They just called it crimping to make it sound like it's theirs. I've heard people doing stuff like crimping before The Mighty Boosh was even created!

The Mighty Boosh has been going for years and years and years.
And their style of doing little rhymes is definitely THEIRS and they called it crimping just to give it a name. And the Sugar Puffs people made a blatantly obvious direct copy of it. It's not even a homage to it, it's just taking their style of rhyming and re-doing it, badly.

It's a bit like a musical artist stealing bits from another musical artists song.

Isn't free styling or whatever it's called basically the same thing? =\

No way. What does the honey monster say, something about tiny puffs of the sunshine princess? It's so trying to be Boosh-esque it's unreal; they have all these cute references to completely obscure things. And the bit where they say 'sugar puff sugar puff' is in the exact same rhythm and style as 'I-am-gazpachio-o' from the soup crimp.

I don't think anyone who hasn't watched Boosh is in a proper position to comment. [on the crimping copyrightish issues, obviously fair enough if you're saying it's just an ad; if you're not a fan why would you be annoyed.]

No it's not the same thing, Nat. Crimping is sort of a Boosh adaptation of free styling that they have kind of crossed with Scat Singing as well. They make references and rhymes of the most bizarre and random nature. As Emily pointed out as well they've blatantly stolen rhythms from very famous Boosh Crimps.
Listen to The Boosh crimps and some guy freestyling, you'll see the differences.

I found this video on Youtube. It's The Sugar Puffs advert and The Boosh's reply.
