“crimping”?

i hope every rapper from the last 30-odd years now sues The Boosh for being unoriginal thieving hacks.

I wouldn’t turn my back on the Honey Monster… what if he decided to take his revenge out on your little bottom?? I should imagine he has a rather large (and sticky) member….

I’m now worried that I am thinking about the Honey Monster as a sexual being.. surely this is wrong, but I can’t think why…

From Future Sailors tour:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, we did a twisty,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, a tiny twisty,
Twist him up,
Twist him down,
Twist him all around town,
Here come Mr Honey Monster,
Get away from me!
Here come Mr Honey Monster,
You yellow wanker.

Later, an effigy of the Honey Monster is decapitated and raped by Harrison to cries of “Take it! Take it! Take it like you take other people’s ideas, you plageristic yellow wanker! It’s an outrage!”

I think we can see where the Boosh stand on this matter.

I, however, turned my back on Sugar Puffs and do not plan to turn around for a long time. Now let that be a lesson to ‘em.

Not a great advert, and probably not something to get too worked-up over. The Boosh borrow a few ideas in order to parody them, and this advert gave them something funny to add to their stage shows. The Sugar Puffs advert is comparable to that scene at your 15th birthday party, when dad decides to regale your friends with his karaoke version of Sympathy for the Devil.

All kellogs will claim is that they used the genre…not thier actual work.

Also I think the Boosh will be taking thier own advice
‘When you’re feeling blue, because somebodies copyng you…
you dont automatically have to sue…the world is big enough for two!”

I have to say I was angered.
But it makes me Shiny to see that Noel and Julian had a subtle go at the honey monster in return. I believe that’s all it needed… except I do get annoyed to read that kids are reciting the honey monster crimp and not the real Boosh ones.
But then, I’ve heard (several times) people running down my street singing “Bouncy bouncy!” and nothing about a sunshine princess. If I do I shall put them straight and give them a complimentary Boosh DVD. Well, I would if I happened to have a spare one on me at the time. I’ll probably just give them a Polo and hope they catch on.
In a way I was happy to see that crimping had started to spread… but I think Sugar Puffs should’ve asked permission. Crimping is a style specific to the Boosh boys, it was never really seen before they came up with it and it would’ve just been polite to check with them before any effort went into the advert.
By the way… Mrxskull… It’s not nice to shout “BOOSH IS SHIT” in front of everyone who loves them. I’m all in favour of expressing views, but surely only twats do it in such a way that not only makes people angry, but also makes themselves look like a complete idiot?

This is an outrage! This is copying! I’m so glad the boosh are taking legal action! Not only did they have the cheek to steel crimping, but they didn’t even do it properly! Had they got permission and got the boosh to write it (not that they would waste thier time with a fat, orange, pathetic excuse for a monster that looks more like an oversized teddy.) that may have been acceptable. The advert is a pathetic and failed attempt to be ‘cool’ and ‘in’. I am embarrased for them and i cringe everytime it comes on the telly. Stupid stupid sugar poop- they don’t even taste nice. had a bowlful once and it tasted like baby sick. (see you boosh referece? lol)

I’m outraged. I’m going to look at pictures of noel now to calm me down..

I saw it on tv last night WHY ARE THEY STILL BROADCASTING IT!!!!

Definitely not an homage… “honeycomb puffs in a milky bath” far too similar to “crunchy friends in a liquid broth” (from ‘soup’) ridiculous. I hope they win their case…

@Littlefishey

Definitely! It’s got no actual advert value :s. If it was endorsed and perhaps featuring the Boosh alongside the monster then by all means it would be appealing, but this as you said, will either piss Boosh fans off, or confuse non-Boosh fans.

Exactly why do they think that this is going to sell any product? If someone is a fan of the Boosh they’ll feel ripped off and if they aren’t a fan of the Boosh then this advert is just odd.

So basically it’s total arse.

Thanks for the link sam

I left a comment which is “awaiting moderation”

Judging by the other comments on the board, I doubt mine will ever see the light of day

Even the guy in the advert has a similar accent to Noel, this advert major backfired though so its Sugar Puffs lost in the end.

i think we should take the idea that the boosh boys are suing with a pinch of sugar…
after all it was the sun who broke the story…
