The new issue is a scream, I almost had a heart attack laughing at Sid the Sexist.

Aye, when I remember to pick it up in the Naaf - the letters/top tips are the best bits.

Just thought I'd give this a bump as I've picked up the last few. Loved Andy Parsehole's article on Jackson.

Jackson touched us all. He touched my heart. He touched your heart. He also touched children. But not their hearts, their bottoms.

Used to read it before I got all grown up and sensible. The Profanesauras (not sure if that's spelt right) is fucking hilarious.

His one for the Pope was brilliant - I feel sorry for the children who will grow up never knowing his warm, caring smile, I feel sorry for the elderly who must face the autumn of their lives without him, I feel sorry for all the people in between who and that makes 3,000 words. Invoice enclosed etc.

Seems to have gone downhill in the last year.  Despite loads of letters into Viz from around the country saying that Millie Tant, The Fat Slags, Johnny Fartpants, Roger Mellie ( to name a few) are no longer funny, they still continue to print them.

Viz is still going and I used to love it during the early 90's.  I know it went very shite for a time more recently but on a whim I bought the November 2015 issue the other day and its funny as fuck.

There is a 6 page 'fair and balanced view' of Jeremy Corbyn in it this month.  As you can imagine its a million miles from being fair and balanced but very funny all the same.

The cartoons are pretty funny too and seem to be harking back to the original style.

Gonna start getting Viz again regularly as I've really enjoyed making its acquaintance again after all these years :)  Anyone else still bother with it?

I used to read it back then too and I still find their top tips amusing and some of the other things that get recirculated online, but I haven't bought or read a copy for years.
What I found after buying them regularly for years, was that the cartoons tended to repeat themselves. It was all a bit, Johnny one joke.

I think if I picked up the odd copy and read it, I'd laugh, but not after buying it regularly.

To be honest I wouldn't have found this Jeremy Corbyn type of stuff (or a dig at Neil Kinnock etc) funny back then. I just went straight for the top tips, letters and cartoons when i was a lad.

I probably skipped over and missed loads of funny stuff in the articles back then.

And 'Johnny one Joke' could actually be a Viz character!! :)

Johnny one joke was actually a strip in a Spitting Image annual that I had back then. :D

Was just discussing Roger's Profanasaurus at work today. Another lad my age was a fellow fan, a girl we work with, mid twenties hadn't even heard of Viz. The youth of today eh...

Still pick it up every so often. I love reading the small print stuff they put in the credits, loads of little in-jokes packed into a tiny box. The other day it was like 'Thanks to XXX for printing the magazine, even though we've incorrectly been crediting YYY for the last three years'

The piece in this months edition suggests Jeremy Corbyn commited a drug related murder in John O"Groats even though there were 500 witnesses who swear he was giving a speech in Lands End at the time the murder happened.

Top Tips is one of my favourites.

Here's a few:

"When nailing your scrotum to a kitchen table for the purposes of sexual gratification, always ensure that you leave the pliers within arms' reach. Not in your toolbox in the shed." - J Paxman, London.


"Help to teach kids how the government works by simply taking all their sweets off them and telling them to fuck off." - fang, email.
