A British comedy, that was on BBC 3 a while back. I just brought both series on DVD and its hilarious, perhaps not for everyone as its very weird; it has had brilliant reviews though, and i personally recommend it. :)

Its based in a zoo of sorts called the 'Zooniverse' and centers on two zoo keepers, neither of which are very good. Lots of weird things happen, for example in episode 2 a mad scientist splices animals and humans creating weird mutants, that when released from their cells.. rap :P

Trust me its great.

Apparently the name comes from the nickname of a hairstyle that the actor who played Naboo (real life brother to Noel Fielding who plays Vince) had when he was younger :P

Ok then as i said its weird, off the wall style might not appeal to everyone. However it is nothing like either of those comedies you have said there, especially nothing like Have i got news for you. It has more in common with the off the wall, "and now for something completetly different" style of Monty Python's flying circus than anything.

I did watch it one one occasion, theres some kind of lecture with a famous hunter (i think, been a while back) and i just like comedy with a satirical look at life and stuff, like Have I Got News For You, or something crazy like Scrubs. I just didn't like it :)

So yea, i did try it :)

Not sure what you mean by 'type' of comedy, this one in fact shares a fair amount of style with Python, which i love as well. They are also both great live shows. Really shouldn't knock something until you have tried it :)
