History Comicbook / Viz

** In 2015, a cyclist covertly recorded his argument with an angry driver named Ronnie Pickering over which of them had caused a near-miss. The video went viral and made the UK news. Subsequently ''Viz'' published a strip about "Bicycle Bell-End", a smug cyclist who antagonises other road users, only to get beaten up by Pickering at the end.

* SoldHisSoulForADonut: God offers Terry Fuckwit eternal life in Heaven in exchange for taking his cakes out of the oven. The Devil interrupts and offers him an alternative deal: "why not sell me your soul for this dried up piece of dogshit?" Terry Fuckwit accepts the Devil's offer.

* SpringtimeForHitler: Baxter Basics finds out that he'd make more money as an ex-MP than he would if he won his seat. So he tries his best to not get re-elected, openly saying he hates the voters, pissing on war memorials and vowing to close down the only hospital among other things. However he is re-elected in the end. It's implied that his plan would have worked, had his only opponent in the election not been [[TakeThat TV presenter Noel Edmonds]].
* StatusQuoIsGod: As per the characters in the children's comics that ''Viz'' parodies, none of the characters suffer any lasting effects as a result of what has befallen them in previous adventures. Big Vern and Suicidal Syd are both alive and well at the start of their next adventures, and Mr Snodworthy in "Tinribs" is back in one piece. And Sid the Sexist has learned absolutely nothing as a result of his previous attempts to chat up women.

* BadassBiker: Dirtyarse is so unbelievably badass that his mere appearance causes Sid the Sexist to ''literally crap himself''. The crew who hangs around him is also full of hard cases, in fact the women in attendance beat him viciously and carve words into Sid's face -- the implication being that the women are two leagues above Sid, never mind anyone else. In fact Dirtyarse is so antihero charismatic he makes Ivan Jelical's hardcore brainwashed Evangelical Christian date not only abandon her abstinence and sexual virtue pledges instantly, but even abandon her religion entirely to take off on the back of Dirtyarse's ride.

* BatmanParody: Mild-mannered millionaire Craven Adams and his ward Benny Hedges [[note]] a nod to two cigarette brands, Craven A and Benson & Hedges[[/note]] have secret identities -- they are in fact Tabman and Benny the Boy Lighter, the 80-a-day crime fighting duo [[note]] a "tab" being Northern English slang for a cigarette [[/note]]. Who solve the case despite spending most of the time wheezing and coughing as a result of their heavy smoking habit.

* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Sid the Sexist routinely gets caught in the act; for example, his mates pop round his house on the way to the pub and his mum says he's upstairs in his room "getting ready", following which they go upstairs and catch him wanking.

* TheVerse: Drunken Bakers and Hen Cabin appear to be set in the same universe as well as having similar premises and being drawn by the same duo. Also, Sid the Sexist and Millie Tant sometimes encounter each other while Dirtyarse has taunted both Sid the Sexist and Ivan Jellical. Roger Mellie sometimes appears in other strips when a reporter or narrator is needed; on these occasions, he's generally (although not always) without his usual lecherous and/or violent behaviour. There was an occasional gag where Roger and Tom appear in other strips before realising that they're in the wrong strip and leaving.

Britain's most famous [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids "Adult"]] comic (it is the only non-porn title to be [[http://www.ppa.co.uk/public/downloads/retail/research/PPA12ppMMMFMbrochurevMay26.pdf considered]] an "adult publication" by the British Professional Publishers Association), ''Viz'' began as a satirical fanzine in Newcastle and has grown hugely since.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Major Misunderstanding is quick to assume that whatever he happens to encounter in his stories to be this and go on an angry, prolonged rant about it. Of course, since he rarely ever has a clue about what is really happening in any given situation, his complaints ends up coming across as both reactionary ''and'' nonsensical.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Several characters do this a fair bit. The prize must go to Sid the Sexist. He routinely gets caught in the act; for example, his mates pop round his house on the way to the pub and his mum says he's upstairs in his room "getting ready", following which they go upstairs and catch him wanking.

** After urinating, anything more than three shakes is a [[ADateWithRosiePalms wank]].

* LiveActionAdaptation: As well as the infamous ''Fat Slags'' movie, Jimmy Nail had been in talks to star in a ''Sid The Sexist'' SitCom.

* OldTimeyAnkleTaboo: ''Viz'' has published Victorian era editions of the contemporary ''Razzle'' magazine (which they would euphemistically describe as an "Art Pamphlet"). They call this ''Enrazzlement'' and it largely consists of old time photographs of ladies desporting their delicate between-foot-and-calf areas.
