I'm a 64yr old Nan and remember laughing with my nephew about this. I'm sure I'd still roar up now. My mantra: "If you haven't grown up by the age of 64 - you don't have to!"!!!!😂

Wow I think it's been a good 30yrs since watching this...I'm sure I got this on video in my teens at Christmas as I used to love reading the Viz... I've haven't read them in years either.
Beginning of lock down I sat with my mum and watched them all. I have never seen my mum laugh so much. Mum is also a Kathy Burke fan. The woman who plays Trey was on a book chat show I could not help but think of the slags.
I think it would remind people about a sense of homour. My cousin introduced us to this when we are very young. What a laugh we use to have. We had to keep rewinding the tape cos we missed so much from laughter. Ah the good old days.
I met Sandra in Ilfracombe, Devon. It was about the love , we shared an emotional connection. The other girl led her astray. Neither lass was house trained. I was young.
@@Rg-mv4if unfortunately not pal, the cancel culture would screech and screech till they had their way. You and I can still enjoy it because we will always have a sense of humour and realise it's just that, humour. That said we all knew a pair of fat slags in the 80's.😆
@@Rg-mv4if Aye, for sure pal, much more freedom. I legally owned assault rifles and pistols in the 80's. It seems like a lifetime ago. Me and the wife still have a laugh and my mates to be honest. We just don't want to be told what to do by some virtue signalling teen. Glad I live in the Highlands as it's still relatively sane here.
The Fat Slags is a British comic strip appearing in the alternative British comic Viz. The characters made their debut in 1989, their first appearance being in issue 36. The eponymous slags are Sandra Burke and Tracey Tunstall, known to other characters as San and Tray. They are depicted as overweight, eating large amounts of food, mainly chips, while also having a lot of casual sex. As with other Viz strips, the strip's authors use a brash writing style. "Slag" is a British English word for "slut", or loose woman. Activities The Slags' eating frequently follows a night of binge drinking, and the circumstances of the sex or the partner in question are rarely an issue - they have been known to leap on delivery men or workmen for gratification, with the targeted man rarely given an opportunity to resist or escape. Both slags regularly enjoy carnal relations with Baz (full name Barry Askwith, seemingly as a nod to the actor Robin Askwith), a local jobless dropout who divides his time between drinking, committing crime, and having sex with San and Tray. Baz's good-natured wife, Thelma Haystacks-Askwith (daughter of Horace Haystacks), often finds out that Baz is cheating on her, but invariably forgives him. The other major character in the strip is Baz's slightly more successful friend, Dave, who works as a refuse collector but obtains most of his income through benefit fraud. Whilst most Viz characters are recognisably from North East England, with the comic largely written in Geordie dialect, the Fat Slags and their friends converse with a Nottingham accent. This originates with the characters' creator Graham Dury who, unlike the Geordie founder of Viz, is originally from that area.[2] Both characters are noticeably warm-hearted and easy-going, and their friendship is never undermined by their conquests. Although both of the Slags are somewhat stupid - albeit good-natured - nymphomaniacs, Tray is marginally more intelligent and literate than San, who is marginally more nymphomaniacal than Tray. These factors, combined with Tray's more dominant personality, make Tray the leader and San the follower in their adventures. One strip parodying the Batman films featured Tray as Batslag and San as Nobbin. In another strip, San got pregnant and brought the baby to term, tearfully vowing that she was prepared to make any sacrifice for her daughter's happiness. In the very next panel, realising that motherhood would conflict with her pub-crawling, she gave up the baby for adoption. Tray normally wears tight-fitting Capri pants whilst San normally wears a too-small skirt; since the latter garment has more potential for jokes, San tends to get involved in more slapstick than Tray does. Although neither Slag has ever refused alcoholic refreshment in any setting, their favourite place to tipple is the "Dog and Hammer" pub, somewhere in Fulchester. Their run-down home - with its floor-level collection of alcohol cans, takeaway containers and cigarette butts - is at 22, Shit Street, Fulchester, which once featured as a porcelain model marketed by Viz in parody of products such as those of Franklin Mint. A running gag is that the Slags will accuse any men unwilling to sleep with them of being homosexuals and/or having small penises, and many other women of being unattractive and overweight. Social context Their excessive lifestyle is a parody of British ladette culture.[3] Viz creator Chris Donald refers to this in his book, where he also mentions that the portrayal of the Slags was criticised by feminists writing in the Guardian newspaper. At the time of these criticisms the Fat Slags had not appeared in the comic for more than a year, but as a direct response to the criticism they were immediately resurrected for the next issue, in which they had a humorous run-in with the feminist Millie Tant.[4] Donald later questioned why the Guardian had slated the portrayals of the Slags, but had not mentioned that the two male characters were portrayed as a cheating layabout and a fraudster, and that the strip's only "well-behaved" character, Thelma, was a woman. Tunnel Boring Machines to construct the Jubilee underground line in London ("fat slugs") were named after the Fat Slags.
I watched this as a kid, around 12. They weren’t intended for me and I wasn’t allowed but I watched them anyway 🤣 this was in the 90s though, different times back then lol
My favorite uncle was a lithographer , printer . He was a very wonderful uncle who loved his job . He was the best printer in town from what I've heard . Everyone loved him . He passed away in 2010 . I miss him so much . RIP Uncle Edward ⚘️
I remember when I was an apprentice and I took a copy of viz to work. Some of my olde work colleagues read it and wet themselves with laughter, especially at Sid the Sexist. Kids today just don’t know what to laugh at
Germaine Greer was asked if this was sexist. She said, it's only sexist if it isn't true and you only have to look in the streets on a Saturday night to know these women exist.
This is classic British comedy at its best. Thank god for TH-cam. Why this isn't repeated on TV I will never know. Unfortunately the woke brigade does not understand the concept of tongue and cheek.
Sshhh! I'm watching this before they get home ;) My daughter took one of my Viz annuals to school to show her mates. I got a phone call at work from one of her teachers. He said, since he'd met me and thought I looked fairly respectable, he didn't believe her when she said it was mine! Anyway, he kept it in his desk and gave it back to me at the following parents' evening, double wrapped in brown envelopes.
Only sadly at least one generation have had a sense of humour lobotomy when it comes to this sort of stuff now. The easily offended should be tied to a chair in a room with their fellow miseries and forced to watch this on a continuous loop.😂👍
Ironically they sound rather well-spoken in 2024. And they even asked the roadmen nicely and offered something in return rather than just assuming they're entitled to free sandwiches or scamming them in the fashion of modern times. Huh.
I Love Fat Slags . I actually still have it on a video tape (Yes video not DVD) bought it from a Jumble sale. And I will always keep it untill I die . Is that sad or what?
