In this episode of the Mighty Boosh Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) have found themselves having a creative block so their shaman friend Naboolio (Mike Fielding) suggest that they get out of town for a few days, so they go to a village called Black Lake and meet Ramsey who advises them to go fishing on black lake to get their creative streak back up. Vince then leaves Howard on the lake after catching loads of fish to go back to the pub which is where he learns about Old Gregg- a scaly manfish who has a 'downstairs mixup he refers to as his 'mangina'.
Howard then catches Old gregg and he takes Howard to his underwater cave. Vince then phones Naboo telling him Howard's in trouble and they need to come save him, when having a meal with Howard, Old Gregg reveals to Howard how he got 'the funk' in his possession. Whilst Gregg is preoccupied, Vince, Naboo and Bollo show up in Naboo's submarine and Howard steals the funk and they head back to the town of black lake. They leave the village and plan on bringing the funk back to London.
This episode of 'The Mighty Boosh' seems to be the one that everyone knows about and that everyone quotes because it's that funny. Two of the most memorable quotes are 'I've got a mangina' and 'Do you love me?' People enjoy quoting these in Old Greggs voice- you'll understand if you watch it.
My twitter followers have given me their opinion on The Legend of Old Gregg episode. @Tiger_spider says 'brilliant song that never fails to make me laugh and the old gregg animation is genius! Overall, fucking amazing' and a facebook user CourtneyCatastrophe Barbara Bob says 'mangina. That is all' so it's had very positive feedback and I'd recommend this to Noel Fielding fans, buzzcock watcher and people who like surreal and abnormal things.
