Come with me now on a journey through time and space…..
10 - The Mighty Boosh CLIP 1.
I’ll never look at Baileys the same way again.
Oh, Old Greg.
The Mighty Boosh is among one of my favourite creations – I miss it!
An era that celebrated being odd.
Created by Julian Barrat and Noel Fielding, The Mighty Boosh started as a radio show but
was then adapted for TV on BBC 3, airing from 2004 to 2007.
The first season is set in a Zoo, the second in an upstairs flat in Dalston and the third
in a bits and bobs shop…the Nabootique.
It is utterly mental and each episode sees the characters going on some strange adventure.
Its bizarre.
CLIP 2.
Oh and then there is this…
CLIP 3.
The most mysterious character of them all, however, is the hitcher.
He has a large thumb, a polo monocle and he likes to sing about EELS… have a listen
– CLIP 4.
Eels.
9 - Mikorte Informativo Sorry…what.
Let me explain….
Mikorte Informativo is a Mexican news satire hosted by space monkey’s who want to mock
humans.
Of course.
I think this is even more mysterious because I don’t speak Spanish and every now and
then there is a word said in English.
The show has been running 10 years and seems to be popular in Mexico.
Some exit thoughts?
CLIP 2.
RIGHT.
8 - I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING IN JAPAN……check out Pie Hell at number *
CLIP 1.
So there is a Japanese Game Show called Gaki no Tsukai and they have a segment called PIE
HELL.
What is a pie hell, I hear you ask?
Well!
People attacking you with cream pies all day long while you have to live your life as normal.
In the face, on the floor, on your reading material...from all angles, it doesn’t matter
- if you want to succeed, you have to ignore it.
You react, you lose.
Why this is a thing, mate, I have no idea.
What is happening in this clip… well it’s a mystery to me….
CLIP 2.
7 - The Flying Nun Gosh I wish I had been around in the 60s in
suck a regular basis, but missing out on this absolute gem makes me even more envious I
wasn’t there to join the party!
The Flying Nun was a TV show about ….urrr….. a nun who could fly….it aired on ABC.
The premise was kind of like of like Superman meets Catholicism, Sister Bertrille could
fly around to solve problems.
So why could she fly… well that is one of the more mystifying things…instead of going
in with a healthy dose of Science Fiction, or even divine intervention, it was explained
that, as she was only 90 lbs, she could be lifted at high winds when they passed the
convent, which was next to the ocean.
Apparently her starchy Cornette helped her take flight too… just cause.
Want to have a look at the flying nun in action?
CLIP.
THERE SHE BLOWS.
More?
Okay…
CLIP 2.
Even more mysterious is perhaps how this show ran for three seasons.

6 - Rabbits CLIP 1
AH, a Rabbits.
Let me read you the tag line…
In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain... three rabbits live with a fearful
mystery.
Let me solve one mystery for you – yes that is Naomi Watts in a Rabit costume.
Creator David Lynch refers to the 2002 mini series as a Sitcom… but…um…
I don’t know… have a look.
CLIP 2.
The show has one of the more disturbing uses of laugh track that I have heard.
This isn’t the last you will see from the purveyor of the utterly strange – David
Lynch
5 – Jigsaw CLIP 1.
I feel like the 1970 and 80s were kind the height of unironic bizzaro shows that made
little to no sense.
Jigsaw really is a pinnacle for baffling childrens TV.
Running from 1979 – 1984, the whole thing centred around a disembodied Jigsaw piece
just sassing around and providing all kinds of insightful commentary … but the weirdest
thing about this show…and there are plenty of contenders is the character of Noseybonk.
Yes Nosey BONK.
So…this, strange to say the least character is like a twisted mime artist.
He wears white gloves and a white mask with a crazily long nose.
There is one utterly bizarre, mysterious and very unsettling episode set in a greenhouse
in which the long nosed fellow creeps around planting seeds of “nose gays” ….which…um…..
want to see?
CLIP 2.
Then this happens…
I am actually not okay.
4 - Off The Air Off The Air is an anthology series created
by Dave Hughes of MTV Animation fame.
The episodes tend to have loose themes like liquid, color, animals or love….but they
are presented without context, explanation or narration.
It is like a surreal mash up of bizarre cartoons, stock footage, viral videos, PSAs, public
access-style sketches, psychedelic imagery, and music and it is a bit of a mysterious
affront to the senses.
Here is a clip from Liquid…
CLIP 1.
Can you actually imagine tuning into late night TV and seeing this?
I would be freaked out…its very trippy.
The most menacing is maybe this clip from FOOD…..CLIP 2.
UM.
MORE bananas up next….
3 - Carmen’s Banana Cooking URM I have no idea what to say here really…
other than… this may actually be a work of art?
It’s hard to tell.
CLIP 1.
So Carmen’s Banana Cooking Premiered on January 27th on Austin Access Television 10
at 10pm, repeated two days later at midnight.
I had no idea what access television was until today so really this channel teaches me something
new most days.
Public Access television was basically OG youtube but on TV - the general public could
create content which was narrowcast through cable specialty channels.
Ir was mostly a thing in America.
Anyway….
It generated strangeeee content schedules… like this late 80s gem.
CLIP 2.
So the episode started with a serenade by carmen herself… a man dressed as a busty
woman with a large banana hat, then there was a guest segment… then a strange moment
with Sopra in the bedroom …. Clip 3.
The big mystery is….
Aside from the balloons and giant banana hat…
Like…for a cooking show…there isn’t actually any cooking
2 - Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared CLIP 1 – OH I LOVE THIS.
This kind of is a list of shows I love isn’t it.
Maybe I am weird and mysterious.
Anyway…
Don’t Hug me I am Scared is one of the best shows of all time!
It was actually created for Youtube…which I am calling modern day TV.
The show has just 6 episodes created over a 5 year span between 2011 and 2016.
The show is about a bunch of what looks like Children’s tv Characters but it is definitely
is not for kids… unless you want your kids to be privy to this…
CLIP 2.
The show subverts the cheery and has been labelled as simply psychotic.
Oh…and they are coming back….. teased in September 2018, there was a 30 second clip
titled wakey wakey – have a look…
CLIP 3.
Deeply dark, deeply mysterious.
Twin Peaks
I would say I don’t know where to start – but I think I should start by telling
you I LOVE Twin Peaks.
This whole list should be made up from Twin Peaks moments… it is fantastic.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get stranger than early 90s seasons one and two
Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me happened, and then the 2017 revival….and it is all so
strange.
On the surface Twin Peaks seems like your classic detective show – Teen girl turns
up dead, the whole town is implicated, but then it turns out that the show is tugging
at threads of alternate realities, possession, skin walkers, native American urban legends,
owls are not what they seem, whatever is happening in the Black Lodge and a possible government
alien coverup.
Then there is that whole atomic bomb scene…
Let’s have a little clip from the lodge, shall we?
CLIP 2 and 3.
Finally, lets have a look at season 3 CLIP 4.
There is a video compilation I recommend on youtube called Twin Peaks But Without Context..which
is pretty great.
I wish we could talk about Twin Peaks all day.
I honestly have no idea what it all means.
It is utterly bizarre.
CLIP 5
WELL HOLY….
That was kind of like an adventure through my mind…which of these mysterious TV shows
would you most like to watch?
Let me know!
I personally cannot wait for new Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared and I hope they make a new
Mighty Boosh!
