* {{Adorkable}}: Andy Warhol, despite being the pioneer of both Noel and Dolly's lifestyles, is considerably more of a goofy nerd than either.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Both Andy Warhol and Sgt Boombox are considerably more human looking than most of the rest of the cast, but Andy Warhol speaks in a MachineMonotone and Sgt Boombox has yellow skin.
** Dolly might be an even worse case. Inanimate objects can "Really turn her on right now."
** Series two ups the ShipTease between the two quite a bit, although since it was initially nonexistent, there's still not all that much of it.

* CoolLoser: According to the episode ''Cucumbers of Cool'', Noel is scientifically diagnosed as uncool. He's repeatedly described as borderline by Dolly, though that seems to simply be to make him feel better.

* InformedFlaw: Noel is apparently a huge loser and everybody was painfully aware of it the whole time, but too nice to say anything to him. What about him that makes him uncool is never made clear, but it's supposedly incredibly obvious.
* LighterAndSofter: Series two is considerably more "normal" and less terrifying than series one. It's still incredibly weird, though.
* MachineMonotone: Andy Warhol speaks like this for some reason. Particularly weird in that he otherwise doesn't appear to be a robot at all.

The latest project of British actor and comedian NoelFielding (better known as one half of ''TheMightyBoosh''), described by channel 4 as "a psychedelic character based comedy show half-filmed and half-animated", although really, that [[SurrealHumour description barely]] [[MindScrew does it justice]]. Released in 2012.
Each episode involves Noel (playing [[AsHimself an exaggerated version of himself]]), his friend Dolly, his aardvark butler Smooth and his cleaner Creator/AndyWarhol having various bizarre adventures in Noel's jungle home. Added to this are numerous sketches, cartoons and musical interludes, often entirely unrelated to the main plot, involving such characters as Sergeant Raymond Boombox (an incompetent New York cop with a talking knife-wound on his left arm) Roy Circles (an anthropomorphic chocolate biscuit with disturbing racist tendencies) and Noel's landlord Secret Peter (a brain-damaged purple blob with a passion for tennis).
In short... it's very, ''very'' odd.
----
!!This series features the following tropes:
* AbnormalAmmo: The angry dolphin in a fighter jet fires pasta bullets at Noel's house
* AmazingTechnicolourPopulation: Sgt Boombox's skin is neon yellow for some strange reason.
* AnthropomorphicFood: Count Ziggenpuss the singing fishfinger and Roy Circles the depressed chocolate biscuit are the most notable examples. Then there are characters like Ice-Cream Eyes and Ian Guage (the singer with croissants all over his face) who seem to be human-food hybrids.
* AsideGlance
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Ian Guage, Noel's tribute to JacquesBrel, sings in faux-French gibberish.
* AssShove: Apparently Tony Reason's method of familiarising himself with a new work colleague is to insert his finger into that person's anus. That said, [[FridgeLogic Tony doesn't even have fingers]], [[FridgeHorror so Lord knows how he manages it]].
* AttractiveBentGender: Apparently Creator/AndyWarhol is this when he masquerades as Frida Kahlo. Although it's plainly just Andy in drag, Smooth still seems to fancy him.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Noel's feud with King Tutta the mountain has shades of this. Throughout the episode a distant mountain keeps tutting and looking disgusted every time Noel makes a joke. Noel retaliates by scorching the mountain's cheek [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon with a hot teaspoon]], but later realises he was actually tutting because he was performing a capella with some other mountains, at which point Noel apologises and admits to being "slightly in love" with King Tutta.
* BigEater: Sgt. Boombox, who regularly stops for a snack while apprehending criminals.
* BigNo: Boombox has one when he lets his nemesis Count Ziggenpuss escape.
* BlackComedy: Some sketches border on this, none more so than those involving Dondylion.
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Big Chief Woolabum Boomalackaway.
* CargoShip: Dolly and her curious attraction to Noel's security hat. Also, Secret Peter is married to a peanut.
* CivilizedAnimal: What with anthropomorphism being a massive staple of the show this crops up quite a lot, particularly with Tony Reason - the successful music producer who just happens to be a stingray. Pretty much every animal who appears on the show is sapient to one degree or another, and many inanimate objects can inexplicably talk.
* CloudCuckoolander: It would probably be easier to name the characters who ''aren't'' Cuckoolanders...
* TheDandy: Noel, and Jeremy Beautiful-Chest.
* DerangedAnimation: About as deranged as humanly possible, and then some.
* DomesticAbuse: Secret Peter beats his wife. Played for laughs as she's a non-anthropomorphic peanut.
* TheFashionista: Dolly
* FishPeople: Recurring character Daddy Push has a winkle shell for a head. What he's hiding under there is anyone's guess.
* FreudianExcuse: The motorbiking lychee fruit raped an olive because he never got over the death of his father.
* IronicEcho: Dolly is insulted when Noel asks her whether her latest bizarre activity was a joke or a concept. Later, she asks him the same question when [[spoiler:the Jelly Fox scenario turns out to be a bizarre bout of make-believe by Noel.]]
* LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles: Noel Fielding plays about twenty characters per episode.
* MindScrew
* MonsterClown: Some sketches feature a cackling purple clown known only as The Audience who sits in a cloud making shapes out of mashed potato. He actually appears to be quite friendly, despite being borderline incomprehensible and utterly horrific to look at.
* MonsterOfTheWeek
* PeepingTom: The pineapple who borrows Noel's eyes and uses them to watch people shaving their balls.
* PoliceAreUseless: Sergeant Boombox and his colleague, Hooper.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Dolly, who supposedly has many jobs (model, DJ, knitwear designer) but we never see her doing any of them.
* RiddleMeThis: "If it takes a year to drink a horse, how long does a Spanish priest have to cry for, when rolling up a hill against a north-facing breeze...bearing in mind that it's winter and dark, and the priest is covered in ball bearings and his own shit?"
* RobotMaid: Andy Warhol
* ServileSnarker: Smooth, who is often the voice of reason to Noel, despite being part aardvark.
* SignatureLaugh: When Andy Warhol laughs, a string of "individual laughter sheets, strung together like theatre tickets or sausages" comes from his mouth.
* SketchComedy
* SkunkStripe: Doo Rag has one, and sometimes a tiny toy car inexplicably drives along it.
* SplitPersonality: the Bobbatron's personality veers from pleasant and helpful to psychotically angry at the drop of a hat.
* SurrealHumour
* TalkingAnimal: Tony Reason, Dondylion, Smooth (although he appears to be more of a human-animal hybrid), and many other animals featured in the show
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Noel is slightly freaked when he realises his new cleaner Frida Kahlo is just Andy Warhol in a frock. Subverted with Smooth, who knows full well it's Andy and still takes him out on a date.
* WindmillCrusader: Fantasy Man
* YourHeadASplode: Ian Guage, whose musical advances towards a piece of toast are rejected so many times he eventually explodes with the heartbreak.
