I always enjoyed Raffles the Gentleman Thug.

"Will you, perchance, be passing the portals of Paddington Infirmary on your way back to the palace, Your Majesty?"

"Why, yes indeed I will, Raffles."

"Might I then respectfully suggest that you take the opportunity to get that f****r stitched y'c..."


or something like that.

Always liked Roger Mellie, the man on the telly.

In Top Tips one week there were 2 letters from the same guy.

Don't bother looking both ways when crossing a one-way street.

Paul, Durham.


Always look both ways when crossing a one-way street just in case some pillock is going the wrong way.

Still own a couple of the annuals and follow them on Facebook. The top tips were always my favourite, and Spoilt Bastard, Roger Irrelevant, and the spoof adverts.

Of course not, difficult to keep something going for so long.

As Top Tips are your favs then here's some top tips.

Want to know the time? Go to Argos and buy a cheap watch. The time is written on the till receipt.

Cinema Builders. Don't bother with front row seats as no-one ever sits in them.
Start with the second row.

Wish I’d have kept some of the old copies. Might have been worth a few quid now.

Still enjoy Viz even now I’ve turned 60. Essential reading on the lav’.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I've got every annual up to the mid 1990's.

A hard boiled egg, sliced in half lengthways and with the yoke taken out, makes an ideal urinal for a hamster's cage.

Convince the postman you've just been sick by tipping a tin of Heinz Pea and Ham soup down your front before answering the door.

Ha ha!!

Loved the one today:
Several crabsticks glued together make an ideal high protein low carb alternative to a stick of rock when you visit the seaside. Be sure to keep a red biro handy so you can write the name of the resort on the inside after each bite.

This is one of my favourite bits from recent years. Makes me chuckle every time.

The first really funny joke I heard was when Eve looked at Adam, and then at the apple tree and said 'nice Cox'.

Or Sid the Sexist or the Fat Slags.
Of course they are un-pc nowadays but isn't that the point of Viz.
