pritch Posted May 20, 2003 Millions of people worldwide have been asking me who the fuck the dude is in my various forum avatars. Because Doomworld only allows 36x36 avatars it's hard to make him out, but I can tell you it's Zippy. Who the fuck is Zippy? Shut up you non-British fags. Zippy is a legend of 1980s kids TV in Britain. Go here to learn more about him http://www.btinternet.com/~acbarrett/zippy.htm So that's the explanation. I urge you all to try and download as many clips of Rainbow as you can, you poor foreign bastards. 0 Share this post Link to post
BlueSonnet Posted May 20, 2003 I remember the rainbow show. I never forget things from childhood. (and yeah i'm english). I remember an episode where the crew were having a sleep over and something and they were scared shitless because of the sfx outside the house. "What's that noise? It could be a tiger!" I might do a zippy skin since there are SFX on that site. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted May 20, 2003 Bungle is the one in the middle. The other one was just crap and annoying. Zippy was annoying as hell, but funny and memorable. Click here and here, dammit! And here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted May 21, 2003 Ed said:I thought it was an extra from Sifl and Olly Hahaha... I only got to watch about 2 episodes of that before they cancelled it. But that was some funny shit. Anyway, I grew up on whatever was on Nickelodeon and PBS at the time. So I mostly saw Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Sharon Lois and Bram (which I think was from Canada), n some other stuff. Nickelodeon had a lot of imported cartoons on it back in the day like Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, David the Gnome, and that bizzare anime with the koalas in it. Yeah... 0 Share this post Link to post
