Mrs. Gideon's Spontaneous Amnesia of Howard Moon

Here, Vince, ever the best friend, uses a cue card in lieu of Mrs. Gideon's nonexistent memory.

One of the running jokes in Series 1 of The Mighty Boosh involves Mrs. Gideon, Snake Keeper at the Zooniverse where Howard Moon and Vince Noir are also employed as zookeepers. Howard pines for Mrs. Gideon, but this affection is unrequited. Even worse, Mrs. Gideon can never seem to remember Howard: not his name, his face or the fact that they have had to be reintroduced every time they meet, much to Howard's distress.
