Pink Thing of the Day, Tony Harrison!

Noel Fielding As Tony Harrison

Today’s featured Pink Thing is Tony Harrison of The Mighty Boosh – a show which has become one of my favorites since it started airing on Adult Swim this past summer (Noel Fielding: Hotness!). Tony is a bright pink disembodied head with eight tentacles. Hailing from the East End of London, he is a member of the Board of the Shaman and declares “This is an outrage!” whenever anyone points out his lack of mobility. Tony Harrison is awesome.
