Vince turns to the Camera as Ghost Howard stares on in a monkey suit (not a tux)

The only way I have been able to survive database maintenance this week has been to watch Disc 1 Series 1 of the hilarious The Mighty Boosh (2004).  Unfortunately, it is too good a distraction, and I end up watching it instead of updating fields, like any sane person.  The British get away with so much in their comedies, which end up being a weird mix of high and low humor.  Suspension of disbelief is par for the course.  It's like looking directly into the imagination of a precocious, snarky, impressively literate teenage boy with a proclivity towards musical numbers, mod culture, the strangest and most creative insults ever with occasional witty repartee, and touching moments of real emotion thrown in here and there.
