8Ace every time

It's the f-f-f-fuckin bairn's b-birthday. Gi'us a couple 'f quid f'g'down the shops 'n g-g-et some't for'n.

8 Ace Ta.

8 Ace was tragically, painfully funny.

 

[John Quays]

8 Ace was tragically, painfully funny.

'was'? 'was'? Has Viz packed up?

 

[knopf]

Another vote for Terry Fuckwit ("Fuck me! I haven't got the brains I was born with!")

Second choice would be Spoilt Bastard -- or is he too recent?

 

[killer b]

of the regular characters, probably 8 ace - i think the drunken bakers is my current favourite though. plus anything else that artist does - scat of the antartic & driving mr david both made me shit myself laughing.

honorable mention for 'harold and fred - they make ladies dead', a cracking one off from a few years ago, featuring neighbours harold shipman & fred west competing in a beano style over who gets to kill the new lady neighbour - who turns out to be ed gein in a skin suit. doh!

 

[Ed-wood]

Mig of the midges was funny in the last viz i bought and Modern Partents were ace.
As was the piss taking of that long distance runner, is it yates or bates with a porta loo to make, sponsered by her.

Bestest Viz Character

RUDE KID "GO PISS UP A ROPE YOU OLD BAG" GETS A FIVE GRIN RATING!

 

[grogwilton]

what no jack black?

'so thats the mystery solved, now lets all get back to aunty megs brothel for a slap up fuck! except for you jack, youll have to wait until youre 16! HA HA HA.'

though the readers letters and the top tips are the best.

my favourites-

Racists. Convince people you are not racist by saying 'im not a racist but...' before saying something racist.

Old ladies. When you say 'it goes without saying...' stop right there, because obviously what you are about to say goes without saying.

People. Fool others into thinking you have just eaten an apple by rubbing your stomach and saying 'mmm...that was a great apple.'

 

[kakuma]

should have had rude kid

"what do you want for christmas dear?

fuck christmas"

i thought it was hilarious

i just wanted the really old ones.....

anyone remember 'baby fox'?
"oooh look a cute little baby fox, what are you going to do with it?

fuck it then eat it!"

 

[lizzieloo]

Jellyhead

Born with Lime jelly in place of a brain, Jellyhead was completely useless

If only jellyhead could get to the phone.............

 

[stereotypical]

I like Biffa Bacon me, Roger Mellie's a close second though

 

[MysteryGuest]

Mrs Brady Old Lady has superb dialogue & artwork imo. That's what we're gonna be like when we get old!

The "franklin mint" ads are dead funny too. "Elvis Presley Dambusters Dinner Plate Clock of Tutankhamun"

I got chatting to a guy from Newcastle once at the Drome (SE1) and he said that 8 Ace is based on a real person.

My favourite Rude Kid was "Would you like to go the park dear?" "Let's fuck a coppa!"

A reader's letter from recent issue:

MY FINANCE is an avid Viz reader. We are supposed to be getting married next Tuesday, but unfortunately I can't make it to the wedding. Could you please print this letter so he is aware of this?

Racists. Convince people you are not racist by saying 'im not a racist but...' before saying something racist.

People. Fool others into thinking you have just eaten an apple by rubbing your stomach and saying 'mmm...that was a great apple.'

Convince your neighbours you have had a house fire by blackening your windows with boot polish and throwing your mattresses out onto the front lawn.

black bag

"i'm off ta london tae seek me fortune as a tramp..."

he pissed himself only one time then black bag came to see him....

 

[lizzieloo]

i used to hate billy the fish.....

I didn't even used to bother reading it.

 

[Jazzz]

I wasn't aware there was a character called 'grassy knollington'

 

[Firky]

there was a kid at college we called black bag on account he was a goth haha.

any way.... biffa and syd the sexist, because they're both not far removed from people you do see in the toon. finbar saunders, fnarfnar arfarf is piss funny.

 

[Firky]

The "franklin mint" ads are dead funny too. "Elvis Presley Dambusters Dinner Plate Clock of Tutankhamun"

Bostal Boy and Baby Hitler "with a cheeky genocide grin" PML

 

[Firky]

viz was the biggest selling publication in the world for about three or four weeks.

the doctor strips were quite good, as were the two dogs that hte owner couldn't look after

"charles, where's the dogs?"
"they're ate each other, darling"
PML

 

[longdog]

....Baby Hitler "with a cheeky genocide grin" PML

I have that framed on my toilet wall.

"Your back was turned for only a minute but that's all the time little Hitler needed to goebbel up those chocolates"

 

[Mr Jolly]

Another vote for Rude Kid. One of them (in think the fuck christmas one) had me in stitches for ages.

Oh, and one for the older Viz readers..

The Brown Bottle

The Joy of Sexism book is also brilliant

 

[friedaweed]

What no 'Rude kid'
or Black Bag the faithful border bin liner
