The Viz

[bigbadwolf]

I've been reading the Viz for god knows how long now and I wondering if any of you guys read it and if so which is your favorite character/section.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I remember the Fat Slags from sneaking a peek at my brother's copy - many moons ago.

[PeckhamRose]

I LOVED Spoilt Brat, and remember where in one picture Mummy is telling him off for having a box of matches, and says something like "Now you know you shouldn't be playing with matches darling." And in the next picture he is in the living room, with a pile of furniture, her clothes, the wardrobe etc., and he says, "Well what the blinking flip do I do with THIS?" Also loved Sid the Sexist "She doesn't smell bad for a fat lass thar."

[????]

I read it until the early 90s...all class but I think my favourites were

Roger Mellie and Big Vern(?) and a soft spot for the Pathetic Sharks

I've still got some of the albums from round then.

[PeckhamRose]

I've got the seven inch single of ".... and his unfeasibly large testicles" which was a song written by Andy Partridge of XTC. Bet you wish you did! I can't remember who it was tho who had the unfeasibly large testicles!

The ones I liked were the vizzed-up versions of the more 'adventurey' strips from classic comics.

They did one which was a version of 'Billy the Cat' from the Beano, drawn in exactly the same style. Billy and Katie stumble across s band of thick-set, swarthy adults up to no good. They change into their crimefighting outfits, leap into action and then.. (in the final frame).. they both receive a sound kicking.

I have put a shout out for Sweary Mary, I don't know how I would have lived much of my adult life without 'pissy knickered cocksucker' in my arsenal

[mockney piers]

piss up a rope fuck stick.

probably sid the sexist, tragicomedy personified.

[SimonM]

As a football fan I never liked to miss Billy The Fish....:)

[ratty]

Big Vern was a fave, Skinheed and of course Rude Kid.

Does anyone remember fox in a box?? Classic.

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Black Bag the Faithful Border Bin Liner" was my favourite.

[Keef]

Biffa Bacon made me laugh. Remember one where he read that one in 10 blokes were gay, so after asking 9 blokes who said they were straight, he decided that must mean he was gay, so he allowed people to give him a good kicking in the gents.

[SimonM]

Oh "Blackbag" was utterly brilliant, especially if you remembered the original strip it was spoofing >:D

[bigbadwolf]

My favorites are:

Biffa Bacon

Black bag the border bin liner

Raffles the gentleman thug

Eight Ace

Tasha slappa

Rat boy

Jack Black and his dog silve

Cockney wanker

Profannisaurus

[Michael Palaeologus]

Not forgetting Billie the Fish or Buster Gonad and his Unfeasably Large Testacles

[SimonM]

It wasn't so much Billy...I just had a crush on that native american woman who ran up and down the right wing in a skimpy buckskin affair....:))

[dukesdenver]

Victorian Dad was brilliant.

I also loved Top Tips - such as rolling your bedroom slippers in beaten egg and breadcrumbs and telling everyone you are wearing Findus Crispy Pancakes.

[SimonM]

>>I also loved Top Tips -:D

[PeckhamRose]

THANK you Michael. Buster Gonad. Yup I have the seven inch (fner fner) of the song about him that Andy Partridge wrote.

I nearly had to find it!

[Jimbob]

cockney wankah

[Keef]

Forgot about him, he was great! It was all about the glasses.

[Jimbob]

rub-a-duck, forget cockney wankah, you,re aving a larf, me old china.

[lard]

Mr Logic

Billy Quiz

Spoilt Bastard

And some of the more obscure..

Zipp O Lightning

Balsa Boy

Topless Motorcycle Nun

Mickey's miniature grandpa

Can remember having to go to a specific newsagent to get it as it wasn't sold generally.

[LuvPeckham]

I seem to remember Topless Skateboarding Nun (Phoaarrrr) rather then motorcycle, but maybe she moved on a bit after my time... I still have (somewhere) the 2 fat slags videos and also a Sid the Sexest (you don't sweat much for a fat un) video as well

I remember Cider woman, but I think she was a side kick to Brown Bottle

However Finbar Saundersand his double entendres kept me amused (and is still my role model today)

But lest we not forget Johnny Fartpants, a boy who every man wanted to be after 10 pints and a Vindaloo !!!

Best top tip I read was never loose contact lenses again, drill a small hole in each lens, thread a bit of string through them and put the string around the back of your neck when you slip your lenses in... brilliant and I have been doing this for years now....

Paul Whicker the Tall Vicar, he's a very tall vicar.
