Viz

Why is Viz not funny anymore?

[MargeB]

Letterbox and Top tips are ok, sometimes great, but the cartoons are awful, and consider themselves great. Ha ha! funny.

Because the novelty has worn off and they've run out of ideas, and you're older than you were when you first read it.

Sadly, I am now in my mid-30s, and have been buying it now for half of my life (I subscribe nowadays - just how sad is that), and still have occasion to roar with laughter, especially the letters page and the spoof adverts - I mean, come on, the clag-o-gone, a clever device to get rid of clagnuts using a bicycle wheel - just pure genius: Ok, this probably says more about my sense of humour than the quality of the comic, but hey ho.

 

I still find most of the strips funny, my favourites being The Fat Slags and Sid The Sexist, and the real old ones were great, such as Paul Wicker, the parkeeper, Buster and the like, BUT, there are some truly awful new ones, specifically The Drunken Bakers which are just simply not funny (I've even emailed Viz askingthem to drop them - yes, I know that is V sad).

 

Favourite ever one off cartoons? - toss up between the Vibrating Bum Faced Goats and Bertie Blunt his Parrot's a ****.

 

Genius.

I've been buying Viz religously for the last 7 years and I do still find it very funny, the cartoons don't make me laugh as much as the letters and the fake adverts though but from time to time a classic comes along, my favourite at the moment is 8 Ace.

Favourite one off cartoon was Dr Poolittle - He Talks To The Animals About Constipation,  I reread this one from time to time and it still has me in stitches...sheer class.

Ducati, the clag-o-gone was run when I used to read Viz, and I haven't seen a copy for 12 years

bankok I was about to say the same thing.  I can even remember the caption, with the lemon fresh scent, or summat.  Please don't say it's been rehashed.

ludwig get's my vote here...Spot On

 

It was funny to me at the time, if you are late teens early 20's you'll find it funny....In a few years i'd not be surprised to see one of those people ask a similar question.
