Viz Comic.

**tabler** · May 11th, 2009, 10:06 AM

I have the complete collection of Viz comic, from the 1st ever episode (which was sold in tiny numbers around the pubs of Newcastle and started the cult following) to this months issue (I just cant stop buying it now)

My two favourite characters now (they have come and gone over the years) are 8 Ace and Sid the Sexist. I think its the regional stereotypes that I like, 8 is a pissed up Yorkshireman and Sid is a thick as shit Geordie (as I'm a Geordie that lives in Yorkshire the appeal is obvious

)

Other characters I like are Jack Black and his dog Siver, and one I miss is Norbert Colon (tight as a fishes chuff!)

Any comments on Viz guys?

Thieving Gypsy Bastards really made me chuckle, even though 'Viz' had to apologise in the next issue for stereotyping and offending Pikey's.

Which I found even more amusing because most Pikey's can't even read.

I like those one off stories like Christ on a Bike and the Amazing Bum Face Goats etc. My faves are Finbar Saunders, Johnny Fartpants, the original Buster Gonad, Felix and His Amazing Underpants, Nobby's Piles and Morris Day - sexual pervert. Oh and there was one character that featured only a couple of times and I think he was called Captain Morgan and His Hammond Organ

I stopped buying it about 5 years ago when I failed to find it amusing any more.

In 1989, when Mrs T was selling off the water industry, she used taxpayers money to advertise the excellence of the public asset which she was selling for a quick buck. One advert featured milk floats (an electric commercial vehicle used to deliver bottles of milk to Britains doorsteps way back when) but delivering water in milk bottles. The message seemed to be that pumping water from a reservoir to a tap is a stupendous achievement.

Viz deliciously parodied this advert and lit up one of the scandalous wrongdoings of Britain's soon to be privatised monopolies with a simple photograph of a milk bottle with a piece of excrement inside it and the logo:

We take your shit and dump it untreated in the sea. The ten water businesses of England and Wales.

The "Top Tips" do it for me. I've got several favourites, but this one sort of sums the whole thing up:

A handful of angry wasps in a cigar tube make an ideal emergency vibrator.

Bizarre...

I saw this thread yesterday and thought about adding to it but what to I add? I have loved Viz on and off since the late 80's, with great stuff like 'Rude kid' 'Tranny Magnet' and so many others its hard for me to remember the best. Then last night down the pub I went for a piss in the urinal and it reminded me of a fave 'You never miss with armitage shanks'.

and I found this .........

"After a recommendation from a friend, I bought the latest issue of Viz
(three fucking quid!!!).

The main reason for the purchase was for the strip "Fireman Fritter - He's
Got Twitter Up His Shitter". A fireman is distracted from his job by
constant "tweets" from Stephen Fry, which come out of his arse on ticker
tape."

It sounds so good I'm going for a copy.
