This Production was filmed on the lands of both the Whadjuk People of the Noongar Nation and the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We wish to pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.

[indigoglyph]

Seeing the most f’d up character in a gimp suit and spikes, and immediately thinking ‘that’ll be Mark, then’.

[nickzardiashvili]

The Shadowman should really meet The Night Man.

[damonharris-brennan]

It's funny how Mark is type cast for the weirdest imaginable characters

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

I've had "ah the light. Ah." In my head all week

[rankinsean]

I met the shadow man once. I was waking down Main St when he came up to me and asked for 2 dollars while drinking a Sunkist. I said that I didn't have two dollars, so the shadow man asked me what I did have and I had 20 cents in my pocket that I was going to use to buy a redskin from school on Monday because mum always lets me have one lolly from the canteen once a week at school. But the shadow man took it so I didn't get anything from the canteen that week.

[anitabraykeer]

M̶a̶r̶k̶ Shädowmän writhing around faintly moaning while the light was being shined on him is probably one of the funniest things I've seen for a while.

[BrianMurrayPA]

I was wondering when Mark would show up. I’m not at all surprised it was in this form.

[fabusquish.undercover]

I have never laughed so hard at anything in my life
"Ah... ah the light" literally almost killed me

[edwardomaino]

Love how the shadowman appeared after an eclipse. Poignant timing ladies and gents.
Praise Oxtos

[AlmostAnimixers]

Fun fact: The costume department didn't design that Shädowmän costume. That's just how Mark dresses.

[admiralackbarsschooloftrap]

The continuity of injuries and sunburn has not gone unnoticed…loving BJs descent into madness!

[dionw]

The Shadowman brings strong Boosh vibes

[NgroNrdZ]

I need the "ah... the light" part on a 10 hour loop. He isn't even that upset about it, it's like he couldn't find his glasses and they were on his head the whole time. Just embarrassed " ah.... the light...ahhh"

[billymoore]

Shadowman approached me in the Queen St Hungry Jacks when I was 7, luckily the power of Oxtos was able to guide me back to the dining area and I finished my nuggets

[ThumbsTup]

Mark's presence as the Shädowmän is equally terrifying and arousing at the same time

[TheWiggyStardust]

I remember when this aired on PBS Puerto Rico as "Abrazando el Sol." It only aired one or two episodes because supposedly the guy who snuck it onto the network was arrested by the FBI and sentenced to death. Hopefully the spanish dub will resurface soon.

[yuktapotaraju]

It's the fading smile of the kid that gets me everytime when the Shadowman does that- dance- of his.

[PreLeisureTrax]

Hahahahaha that bloke in the background grunting “DO THE TRICK” gets me everytime

[pazamataz]

I love the implication that either the shadowman is an underpaid theatre grad actor they grabbed off the street to dress up as this terrifying latex hedgehog goth or he is an actual supernatural entity they summoned that bj needed to punch in the face

[PeytonPearson]

I swear to god THIS is the episode that I keep coming back to
