Saboo mighty boosh

Saboo is a fictional character portrayed by Richard Ayoade. He was originally created for "Nanageddon", an episode of the second series of The Mighty Boosh and later appeared in three episodes of the third series, "Eels", "The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox" and "Party".

Saboo is a shaman, and a member of the Board of Shaman. He is also a DJ. Most of his appearences are with fellow shaman Tony Harrison, whom he firmly dislikes and has even attempted to kill. He also has signifiicant dislike for Naboo, whose propensity for getting in trouble with the Board of Shaman often results in Saboo attempting to make an example of him. He also frequently refers to his colleagues as 'plum(s)' and variations thereof when they act foolishly. During his first appearance, he frequently referred to 'the crunch,' criticizing other characters for their lack of familiarity with it to the point of being accused of being 'obsessed with the crunch.' "The crunch" could refer to the Big Crunch, the scientific hypothesis that our universe may at any moment collapse into a tiny, incredibly dense ball in a reversal of the Big Bang. "Crunch" may also refer to a high-pressure moment, which is a common usage of the term in UK English. The name Saboo comes from the name of the Indian Actor Sabu.
