Description

Back in 1922, when Howard Carter first smashed his way into the tomb of long-dead Egyptian King Tutankhamun, the guttering candle in his hand illuminated a scene of unimaginable splendour. “Can you see anything?” asked Lord Carnarvon.“Yes! Wonderful things!” responded a breathless Carter.

Fast forward just over a century, and any adventurer opening a copy of Viz - The Barber’s Pole will be similarly astounded by the comedy gold they will find haphazardly piled up within its covers. Because just like the tomb of an Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, the 226 pages within its stout and glossy covers are packed with priceless treasures.

It’s the sort of 24-carrot comedy gold that has made Viz the country’s fourth* or fifth** favourite humorous magazine (* ** possibly sixth) for well over four decades…

* Edge-of-seat Adventures: Jack Black and His Dog Silver, Who’s Who in a Medieval Plague Village, Motorhead’s Christmas Adventure, and Bad Bob the Randy Wonderdog.

* Shocking scandals about your favourite showbiz stars, Scotch eggs, Deepfake Porn, Tony Blair, and your chance to become a Crypto-Billionaire.

* Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist, Biffa Bacon, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Johnny Fartpants, The Real Ale Twats, Roger Mellie, and Raffles the Gentleman Thug

* Readers’ letters and Top Tips, spoof ads, quizzes, games, things to cut out and make, and much more.

Obviously, at this point we would like to point out that, unlike King Tut’s burial place, there is no real evidence that Viz has ever been the subject of a deadly curse, placed upon it three thousand years ago by a sinister, hooded priest of the God Thoth. And we consider it very unlikely indeed that anyone who dares to break open the cover of Viz - The Barber’s Pole will simply drop dead from unexplained causes - as Lord Carnarvon did a year to the day after breaking the seal on Tutunkhamun’s tomb.

Sorry, no refunds.

    Always leave a spud wrapped in foil inside one of your cupboards.
    In the event of your house burning down, you'll at least have the consolation of a tasty baked potato to consume.

    I always loved the Top Tips section of Viz the most. Absolutely hilarious every time.

    If you don't want to be offended, don't read it. If you really don't want to be offended don't read the editions of the 80s.
    Personally I thought them hilarious, but then I am a dinosaur, apparently.

    Doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would be allowed in the 'post joke' times we live in. Is it still as un pc as always?

    worth it just for the "top Tips"

    Remember a 'top tip' from a Viz issue many moons ago. If you are dyslexic, spell the word wrong and you may get it right.

    Been buying the Mrs a Viz annual for the past few years... Always makes her chuckle... £4 is a great deal. Less than the price of a meal deal at most places. Have some 🔥 (edited)

    Nice one, was going to see if they had a copy in The Works, but even better as I had some money left on my gift card for Amazon.
    Never read The Viz in years

    This is always in my Xmas presents. There’s a double page comic story in this one about project managers, which slayed me.

    Bought thanks

    Thanks op, haven't read for years so hopefully it's still as stupidly hilarious as it was. Top tip : you can get this cheaper by simply inventing a time machine, going to 2034 & search charity shops for this issue

    Was a big fan of Viz as a kid had Sid The Sexist and The Fat Sl*gs on VHS, great stuff. Surely it's less offensive and less funny than it was in the 90s? Bit surprised it's even still around during these times. Might have to pick one up just for the nostalgia if it's still decent..
