THE MIGHTY BUSH
=======================
GRAMS: SOUNDBITE OF MIGHTY BOOSH SOUNDTRACK WITH WORD ‘BOOSH’ REPLACED BY ‘BUSH’

GORDON BROWN (DRESSED AS HOWARD MOON) AND GEORGE BUSH (FLAMBOYANTLY DRESSED AS VINCE NOIR) DURING TALKS

GORDON:
Hey, hey, hey, W. Bush! Britain love me!

BUSH:
Britain do not love you, Gordon.

GORDON:
They do – they think I'm a messiah!

BUSH:
They think you're a mess.

GORDON:
Yeah?

BUSH:
Yeah.

GORDON:
Yeah?!

BUSH:
(LAUGHS) Oh, yeah.

GORDON:
Well, they don't think you're so cool.

BUSH:
I am cool. I understand things.

GORDON:
You understand nothing, sir.

BUSH:
Cheney the Colossus says I understand things. Popular culture. The youth impact of BBC3. 'Dead Ringers'.

GORDON:
You do not get 'Dead Ringers'!

BUSH:
Hey, I *get* 'Dead Ringers'! Culshaw is one cool cat.

GORDON:
I'm a cool cat. A real funk-biscuit!

BUSH:
(LAUGHS) There's no *way* you're a funk biscuit.

GORDON:
I could be a funk biscuit.

BUSH:
You could never be a funk biscuit. At best, you're a... jazz hob-nob.

GORDON:
What's a jazz hob-nob? That's not even a thing!

BUSH:
It is. It's like a mormon digestive. (BEAT) Only not as cool.

GORDON:
You can't just make things up and expect people to laugh. You're not Noel Fielding. (PAUSE) Why do these Iraq talks take so long, do you think?

BUSH:
No idea. Do you like my shoes? Platforms are in again. 'Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.' told me.

GORDON:
Can't we get Naboo and Bolo to fix this global crisis?

BUSH:
Nah – they've gone to Naboo-tlins.

GORDON:
Every time. (BEAT) I guess we'll have to resolve it in the usual humourous way then...

BOTH BEGIN TO 'CRIMP'

BOTH:
Iraq-Iraq-Iraq. Global terrorism.
Stop the bombing of innocent civilians
Bringing order and democracy. (PAUSE) Slow-ly.
(WHISPERS) Very slowly
Improving relations with Iran, Afghan-i-stan and North Korea;
stopping any humanitarian crisis can wait
as we fight, fight, fight
for oil, oil, oil
Lovely black stuff—

GORDON:
—slick little black stuff—

BOTH:
Funding our incompetence with taxes from the
Rising price, price, price of—

GORDON/BUSH:
(SIMULTANEOUS) —Petrol/—Gasoline!

END

I've stopped looking at The Test Bed but noticed the 'Mighty Bush' grabber so decided to check it out. I'm glad I did. This tribute sketch to the Mighty Boosh was well-written and very amusing to read. You could definitely visualize Noel and Julian saying the lines. The style/tone was spot-on. Well done, Swerytd.

that is great

why don't you look at test bed, earlydoors?

Thanks all

Dan

I have to say I've not really kept an eye on the test bed (lifes very hectic!) but saw this on the 4laughs homepage.
I definitely agree with earlydoors. The tone is spot on.
You should look to do a collaboration with an animator and impressionist. You have to get this made. The animation itself could be quite basic, its finding somebody who could do a Gordon impression with an undertone of Howard, and a Bush/Vince hybrid.
It would be a crime if this went unmade. Its hard to visualise a lot of written comedy but this immediately jumps off the page (or computer screen).
Excellent!

Very nicely done. It captures the essence of the boosh and the dialogue is perfect. Great stuff

Cheers people.

Much appreciated.
