Our article about the new Honey Monster advert for Sugar Puffs has been attracting a lot of attention this week, with lots of people claiming it bears an uncanny similarity to sketches by hip comedy combo The Mighty Boosh.
What do you think? I've embedded the Sugar Puffs video below for your delectation.
IT is a disgrace!! £3.2 million they have spent on it! And all for copying, it doesn't even sound right! Blatent rip off, So angry something needs to be done!!!

It's such a blatent rip-off! The peeps on the ad can't even crimp! Leave it to the professionals a.k.a Noel and Julian! They studied crimpology, now I bet the Honey Monster didn't do that!
It's sounds practically the same as the Soup Song! It totally lacks originality.

they are clearly copying the boosh!!
SUE THEM
well they are
and so they should
asif they spent so much money n that advert and they came up with that
when it says "honey coated puffs in a milky bath"
its sounds exactly like the soup song when it says...
"cruchy friends in a liquid broth"
I HATE SUGAR PUFFS

Yeah a bit of a rip off. and to be quite frank.. its bad.
But I s'pose Noel and Jlian didnt just invent it,
It's just a form of synchronised singing thats been around for years.
They developed on it to make a crimp, I love the Boosh but Im not sure on this.

The Sugar Puffs advert sounds EXACTLY the same as the Carrott & Corriander rap from the Mighty Boosh, as a huge fan i'm disgusted!!

This is an outrage! Actually so poor it makes me want to cry. Leave it to the profesionals - Vince and Howard own the crimp! =]

Eels on a bicycle, I thought this was an april fools palaver or summink - the whole farce sounds more like a mighty boosh episode itself than it does an actual news story.
What in the name of halibut made the sugar puffs marketing team think they could get away with a shoddy knock-off of some other fellers' original work?

Personally, I think a better 'comparison' video would be the Soup Song - it's such an obvious rip-off of it. And an ad company are getting paid millions for this?! Down with the Honey Monster!

"Ahhh Jokey, jokey
You didn't see it coming
Jokey, jokey
Honey Monster GET AWAY!
I kill you!"
Pure Boosh Genius
They can't be beaten
They will always be one step ahead of you sugary rip-offs!

You should have put the soup song up by Mighty Boosh, thats the one they blatantly ripped off, even up to the laugh at the end!!!

for God's sake people are peeing their pants at the shock of an ad agency ripping off something that is funny and almost original. If you hear a good joke we repeat it to fiends. In a capitalist world which is grudgingly adhered to by an ever increasing apathetic society who gives a ****.

I'm Naboo that's who. I'm going to have to turn my back on Honey Monster. Vince has gone round with his NIcky Clark Straighteners (hottest you can get) to sort that ball bag out.
