Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources.Zippy is a fictional character on the children's television programme Rainbow.He is probably the most famous character from the show, probably because he was the only one who really spoke his mind and would make for hours of laughter.Appearance
In a The Sun tabloid newspaper article headlined "Revealed: Why lost star Zippy is orange", Zippy's orange colour is apparently due to presenter Geoffrey Hayes following Dundee United F.Dundee, Scotland, during the 1960s and 1970s.Zippy was going to be blue before I begged the producers to make him tangerine.One of the most common questions I'm asked is "What in God's name is Zippy meant to be?"You have me, a big bear, and a pink hippo and then there's Zippy.Because of that I was determined Zippy was not going to be blue.However, since Zippy had appeared (in orange) in the show for a full series before Geoffrey did, it is unlikely that Geoffrey had this significant role in Zippy's origins.Described as Dundee United's biggest fan, several newspapers including the Daily Record, The Courier and Sunday Herald also covered the story in print and online.The poll included lifelong Port Vale F.Zippy also appeared in the 2008 BBC Kudos programme Ashes to Ashes (TV series) with George.Zippy is currently part of an advertising campaign for Portuguese ketchup brand "Vitakrone".Zippy appeared twice in a 2008 episode of Harry Hill's TV Burp.There is a knock at the door and she closes all the zips on the bag and opens the door.Zippy is at the doorgreets her and she zips his mouth shut.On the August 4, 2007, Roy Skelton was interviewed via telephone by Russell Brand on his Radio 2 show.Brand and his associate Matt Morgan asked Skelton some questions whilst in the persona of Zippy.But Skelton brought the interview to a halt when Brand asked him "Zippy?What do your genitals look like?"Skelton, whilst holidaying in the south of France, announced whilst in the voice of Zippy that he had to go and bizarrely hung up the phone.SMTV Live Zippy is often portrayed as even more loud mouthed and crude than normal, going as far as saying "Fuck" during rehersals for the royal variety performance in the 1980s.In December 2007 Zippy and George appeared on a puppet special of the Weakest Link hosted by Anne Robinson which was originally broadcast on Friday, December 28th 2007 at 18:00GMT on BBC1.Retrieved on March 11, 2006.Zippy the Pinhead is the main character in the comic strip of the same name, created by Bill Griffith.The comic strip began in The Berkeley Barb in 1976 and was syndicated nationally soon after, originally as a weekly strip; it has been a daily feature since 1985, distributed by King Features.The Zippy comic strip has a cult following of devoted readers; however, there are those who find the strip incomprehensible.It was picked up for worldwide syndication by King Features in 1986.When the San Francisco Chronicle canceled Zippy briefly in 2002, the Chronicle received thousands of letters of protest, including one from Robert Crumb, who called Zippy "by far the very best daily comic strip that exists in America".Characters and content
Zippy's original appearance was partly inspired by the microcephalic Schlitzie, from the film Freaks (which was enjoying something of a cult revival at the time), and P.However, Zippy is distinctive not so much for his skull shape, or for any identifiable form of brain damage, but for his enthusiasm for philosophical non sequiturs, verbal free association, and the pursuit of pop culture ephemera.His wholehearted devotion to random artifacts satirizes the excesses of consumerism.Zippy's unpredictable behavior sometimes causes severe difficulty for others, but never for himself.The Toadettes, a group of mindless and interchangeable amphibians, also pop up here and there.The website encourages people to send photos of interesting places for Zippy to visit in the strip.And he was going to give me credit for the "Are we having fun yet" saying, but he wanted to know exactly where Zippy had first said it."Are we having fun yet?"Certainly not intended by me to be anything more than another non sequitur coming out of Zippy's mind.Zippy's signature expression of surprise is "Yow!"Rumors of a Zippy movie project have circulated for decades, and Griffith has devoted dozens of strips to his real and imagined dealings with Hollywood.Diane Noomin, was in negotiations from 1996 to 2001, but was abandoned due to lack of financing.On July 9, 2004, Zippy made his stage debut in San Francisco in Fun: The Concept at the Dark Room Theatre.Bill Griffith approved of the adaptation, though he did not work on the project.Following a criticism of Scott Adams' simple art style within Zippy the Pinhead, a series of Dilbert comic strips saw Dogbert parodying Zippy by name and character by creating a comic strip he intended to syndicate named "Pippy the Ziphead" (the strip was about a character identical to Zippy) which was a comic strip that disguised its total lack of any jokes by filling each panel with bizarre amounts of artwork.Live action footage of an actor portraying Zippy (Ron Brannan) and singing a song about the character was included in the 1988 documentary Comic Book Confidential.Zippy quotes was formerly packaged and distributed with the Emacs text editor.Linux or BSD users can get a random quote by typing "fortune zippy" in a shell.Reprinted, San Francisco: Last Gasp, 1987.Zippy the Pinhead's 29 Day Guide to Random Activities and Arbitrary Donuts.San Francisco: Last Gasp, 1986.King Pin: New Zippy Strips.Pinhead's Progress: More Zippy Strips.From A to Zippy: Getting There Is All the Fun.Zippy's House of Fun: 54 Months of Sundays.San Francisco: Cartoon Art Museum, 1997.Zippy Annual: A millennial melange of microcephalic malapropisms and metaphysical muzak."Impressions based on random data".Zippy: From Here to Absurdity.External links
