I'm 54 and still love zippy 😂...used to go home at lunchtime from junior school in the 70s and watch Rainbow...and I come back to watch him on UA-cam 😂
RIP to the wonderful Geoffrey Hayes. Many, many happy hours spent watching Bungle, Zippy, George, Rod, Jane and Freddy. Rainbow 🌈 will always have a special place in my heart. ♥️
Total psycho but it was all about the Zipster. Like Hartley Hare, he had something of the night about him. RIP Geoffrey and thanks for all the fun times.
I’am very upset at the passing of Geoffrey Hayes who died today and what a terrific guy , who made many of us happy growing growing up in 70’s watching Rainbow with Geoffrey and Zippy and George with Bungle . God Bless and R.I.P Geoffrey Hayes you’ll be greatly missed by young and old everywhere .
Never realized how near the bone and well observed this show was. Teaching kids about narcissistic sociopaths like Zippy , and that they'd probably meet them in life - amazing. Wish I'd paid more attention to it when I was 3
@Dominic Keefe, I agree with your observation, but disagree with the educational part, as the show did NOT provide any helpful strategies how to distinguish childish behaviour from sociopathic tendencies, or how to cope with the abusive and toxic relationships that in the end only served the abuser. Zippy gradually forced his will upon the household and boundaries were constantly moved by his cunning use of break-and-apologize-tactics.
Zippy is stroppy, rude, loud-mouthed, arrogant, conceited and selfish. All things I usually don't like in people. But for some reason, those things are why I LOVE him! :D
Used to watch this as a kid thinking how mean and nasty zippy was. I watched this today 39 years later thinking he was fcking hilarious and how could I have missed it 😂
The mind boggles thinking how these four came together. Lol. Think about it. A pink talking hippo, a wannabe talking bear, a Gollum lookalike with a zip for a mouth, and then there's Geoffory, who is their surrogate father. He loves them like only their own mothers could. Lol
George and Zippy have only a left arm and a right arm, respectively. I think they were conjoined twins that got separated. Severely deformed conjoined twins.
"So, what do you do Geoff? Live alone? Married?" "Im Single, i live with 3 housemates. A pink hippo, a bear and a spaceship shaped zippy thing. The bear and hippo are gay i think. Zippys just a twat"

Sam Holden I found it creepy as a kid and I showed my 13 year old son the show and he found it creepy. I relate to Zippy, I'm sure they'ed show him popping Ritalin these days.
Zippy is a good age now, I didn't know that the real reason reason why Zippy has a zip over his mouth is to try prevent him from smoking crack! Some things never change lol 😂
Zippy was the antagonist, Bungle was the conformist and George was the pacifist and Jeffrey was the thought police / good morals advisor. Did you learn anything from this as a kid ?
bought tears to my eyes so funny, everyone can relate to a zippy type character, thats why its funny, lets not forget the classic gesture of zipping up the mouth and throwing away the key came from this :)
Bungle is too small to be Chewbacca and too big to be an ewok so had to settle for being Jeffrey's side kick. He has since developed a drinking problem and has never gotten over the disappointment.
I'm 48 years old and I can't stop watching these programs i wish it was the 1980s all over again
He's Donald trump is zippy 😅
Biden is bungle 😅
I know right 😂 it’s hilarious
Rainbow is freakin hilarious 🤣
I’m 51 n still giggle over this show. I love Zippy….. sooo norty 🤣
The time machine will built someday! Just wait!❤❤❤❤❤☺️☺️☺️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🌈🌈🌈
I'm 54 and still love zippy 😂...used to go home at lunchtime from junior school in the 70s and watch Rainbow...and I come back to watch him on UA-cam 😂
This was in the 70s, its very old then me
Zippy is an absolute prick, he gives zero fucks and I love him for it.
😄
Yep ,he's great. 😂
He's brilliant 😂
Absolutely hero
Well you saved me typing exactly what you said 😂
RIP to the wonderful Geoffrey Hayes.
Many, many happy hours spent watching Bungle, Zippy, George, Rod, Jane and Freddy. Rainbow 🌈 will always have a special place in my heart. ♥️
RIP Geoffrey, same here, very happy memories in a not so happy childhood, this show was the best, good man Geoffrey...………...
Radio interview from the 1st of October with the guy who played Zippy talking about Geoffrey is on my channel on here. In my uploads, October 2018
I see your comments every were.
Here here
Just found out from your comment😞
'You're shellfish!' 'Im a fisherman!'
Bloody hilarious episode. Children's television will never be this good again!
This show had a character who was a pure narcissist and he ended up being hilarious and the whole reason to watch Rainbow as a kid.
I'M A FISHERMAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!! ..."Oh look, its fallen over again" hahahahaha zippy is too funny and sarcasm too!
2:37
I legit almost pissed myself laughing 😂
@Skarlett-PR Raincloud you've got a badass name Skarlett 😎
I’m 20 years old. My mum used to play this (parsley the lion, klangers) when I was young. I’m so glad she did
Brings amazing nostalgia
Zippy is amazing. He is a complete sociopath, but hilarious
LOL he is definitely a sociopath.
Paul Gray jhojaknopKIPjvjojpihiIIHIPIShoshshiZhjkcjoccucoc
Bungle knows Zippy would knife him in cold blood if he dared touch him.
Total psycho but it was all about the Zipster. Like Hartley Hare, he had something of the night about him.
RIP Geoffrey and thanks for all the fun times.
Lolllll!!

Im 15 and literally no one i know my age has heared if this haha im glad im not the only one who watched this lol

Well said! I've met a few zippys, in my time!!
I would love Zippy to come out on the piss with me. I bet he would be a fuckin NUTTER
Imagine bungle on ket, that would be fucking mental.
@@alfiemoon1468 I heard Bungle turned to heroin many years ago. Sad.

same here :)
RCLeahcar unfortunately its not possible to zip a person's mouth shut!
Because the others are pompous arses?

RCLeahcar He's the Nigel Farage of kids TV.
These comments 🤣🤣 I loved this show as a kid, and now at 46, I still stop to watch them ! 🙆Haha
Pretty awesome, how time flies.
How funny. For a minute I thought that was my own comment. I'm 46 and both my kids love sarcasm and loudmouth ways of Zippy. Great show.
Great memories watching this
i never used to watch Rainbow as a kid haha. Boy what i was missing out on!
Me to bro now 47 oh Jeffrey!!
It's like an episode of BBC Question Time. Only I learned more watching this.
never understood why bungle walked about naked during the day , but wore pyjamas at night ,lol
:-) :-) absolutely !!!
I'm done.....crying with laughter here!
Zippy is so bloody funny
Autumnblueskies I know he is and I am 13 My Teacher put this on on class and it so Funny And So Good I am good he put it on
i love the zipster x
Rip Geoffrey.. many happy memories from being a 5 year old child 😊
Pane in the glass This so Funny Rainbow my Teacher put this on in class and I am 13
Geoffrey was really weird
"The tower got in the way of the spoon, Bungle shouldn't have put it there!" Zippy 1991
1:03 ye
Pissed watching rainbow does life get any better
Bagpuss on shrooms?
hopefully it does yes
If this is what you call life, you need to get out more!
@@matthewmcvicar7755 That's a strong reply
Magic roundabout on fucking nothing!
R.i.p Geoffrey. You were a big part of my childhood .
Me too 😅
zippy was and is the essence of PUNK
He was my influence into the punk lifestyle! 😂😂😂😂
exactly, He's not real you know mr sausage
0:56 Thug life!
zippy is a right nasty cow
hell yeah
Zippy would make a great politician...
Zippy for prime minister to replace Boris Johnson
SuperGingernutz Funnily enough I think he sounds exactly like Kier Stamer 😂😂
@Thomas Bailey
Lol
This is an allegorical commentary on postmodern society.
Used to watch this as a kid thinking how mean and nasty zippy was. I watched this today 39 years later thinking he was fcking hilarious and how could I have missed it 😂
He's the best of Rainbow. Even as a small kid, I rooted for him!
This is my childhood. Thank u for sharing! Oh how watching this made me smile. Miles of smiles 😁
Perhaps he needs to go back and play with his twanger
Simon Millard haha yeah that episode was so full of innuendo lol
Simon Millard I've got a big red one !
Zippy: “Let’s just pluck away with our twangers!”
Let's play with her maracas!
and paint his twanger, whilst plahying with his red twanger
Zippy's just misunderstood
Zippy is the poster child for ADHD.
rabid rabbitshuggers I love to see zippy all over your face
And George the poster child 4 transgender rights
rabid rabbitshuggers lol
panther_ modern and you are the poster boy for hiding in the bushes wearing just a rain coat
@@rayfinkle2805 Yr mom told me i was her favourite poster always finkling with herself over it!
R.I.P. Geoffrey :(
charlie lynes I heard he'd died yesterday. When did he actually die?
@@alexanderjones9572 Yesterday 01/10/18 😭
It’s sad isn’t it? RIP Geoffrey 🙏
Why couldn’t it of been Bungo that stupid Bear
@@jackredmond5998 Bungle
Zippy reminds me of Norris Cole from Coronation Street.
ha yeah
I've always thought that, but I thought I was alone! Norris is just Zippy as an old man.
Matthew Clegg 😂😂😂😂
Matthew..I always used to think about the yolk of an egg when I watched zippy as a small kid.
Matthew Clegg 😂
Fare well Geoffrey. Why do we have to get old?
The mind boggles thinking how these four came together. Lol. Think about it. A pink talking hippo, a wannabe talking bear, a Gollum lookalike with a zip for a mouth, and then there's Geoffory, who is their surrogate father. He loves them like only their own mothers could. Lol
George and Zippy have only a left arm and a right arm, respectively. I think they were conjoined twins that got separated.
Severely deformed conjoined twins.
Hahaha!!
zippy was a bit of a prick looking back on it
Bungle was such a social justice warrior.
A Wild Nathan zero fucks given.
zippy was a pit of a brick looking back on it
Like that person you get in work, always steamrollering over everything!
I just laughed out loud at your comment lol. 😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈🙈
"So, what do you do Geoff? Live alone? Married?"
"Im Single, i live with 3 housemates. A pink hippo, a bear and a spaceship shaped zippy thing. The bear and hippo are gay i think. Zippys just a twat"
meisterly manu this comment made me laugh
I think zippy is a pencil case!
R.I.P Gave my child good to many joys. You will not be forgotten! 😩🌅
Zippy - the troll of the 1970s.
lol
True, but Rainbow started in 1972 which is why I said he's the troll of the 1970s.
WTLNetwork Zippy brutally trolled Bungle and George. You're right.
LewBoo 9ه
WTLNetwork r
I got all my trolling skills from Zippy. Thank you Zippy. You were a true inspiration and you live on in every forum post I make.
RIP Geoffrey, such a great show and a happy part of my childhood...….
One of the best children shows ever done x
I used to really really love Zippy... The memories :)
Jessica Roberts He Funny and I am 13 and lol this Rainbow Show
Zippy would throw porridge at you.
oh my goodness..this brings back my childhood!!! I wish I could back...memories...I remember watching this after nursery ;)
Got to love Zippy! He's always claiming to be the best at everything and loves his food :)
Trump
Nowadays Zippy would be diagnosed with some obscure form of ADHD and medicated accordingly.
No. Sociopathy (including narcissism).
Back then we just got whacked by our parents.
Zippy is a god x
@@davidmahoney6394 yes he is
Thankyou for this upload.better than watching news on tv
Classic rainbow. Loved it as a kid and now looking at it again makes me love it all over again 👏🏻💖
i like the way george always sits on the fence when it all kicks off
This and the magic roundabout made my childhood tbh
This may be have predicted 9/11. If only we could have seen the signs...
Send zippy to the detention centre
If Bin Ladens team watched Rainbow, yes
hahaha
Mooncalf2012 this comment hit harder than the plane that hit the twin towers
Oh wait
If you look closely at the bricks they were building it spells "Jet fuel can't melt steel" #illuminatiConfirmed
I remember getting up and putting in the VHS to watch some zippy and George. Honestly funnier now than when I was a child
R.I.P Geoffrey. Thanks for the childhood memories.
My hearts broken R.I.P Geoffrey.💔
zippy sounds like a 1930's chicago wise guy
Talk about a blast from the past I loved this as a kid I used to laff myself silly every time
Loved this show as a kid. Just showed it to my boy and he laughed for ages
This is fantastic! As an american I feel left out :P
Type into youtube The magic roundabout
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
No need to feel left at all! I loved Sesame Street back then. & lots of american cartoons.
Dude you've got Sesame Street. Rainbow was originally conceived as a British equivalent of that show
Get involved my friend. The more the merrier.
Rip Geoffrey, May u rest in our hearts and we are so happy you made our childhoods better.
so long Geoffrey, another part of my childhood goes with you
Teaching responsibility and getting kids ready for what real life is like. Miss this stuff. Superb! Button Moon another must rewatch!❤
Fantastic, took me back years. Who remembers when zippies eye fell off.
Yes i do!
Solar Lighting 😂
Solar Lighting by accident?
Oh look, it's fallen over again. You're not a very good builder are you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Me and an old friend Benny Harvey would watch this in absolute shock at how badly bullied Zippy was! RIP big man
Miss ya big man
My sister showed me this when I was 3 and I still remember it all I’m 13 now and it’s still as good as when I first
watched it
One of my childhood favourite xx
RIP Geoffrey Hayes, thanks for all the happy fun.
I used to watch this,didn't know it was so weird lol.
Faulty towers
I always found this show disturbing
Yeah found this series creepy too especially the bear but used to love watching this every week as a child in the 70s.
Sam Holden I call my ex wife zippy
Sam Holden I found it creepy as a kid and I showed my 13 year old son the show and he found it creepy.
I relate to Zippy, I'm sure they'ed show him popping Ritalin these days.
A huge huge HUGE part of my young childhood from 5+...im now 48.
Thanks for the memory's Geoffrey .
It was at that moment that Zippy decided to found 4chan, to give trolls like himself the online platform they always wanted.
Love this. Remember this in 70s and 80s.
I love rainbow! I've been watching it my whole life and I still love it!
Zippy is a good age now, I didn't know that the real reason reason why Zippy has a zip over his mouth is to try prevent him from smoking crack! Some things never change lol 😂
You never see boris johnson and zippy in the same place, makes one think.
my dad showed me this and he's 48 AND I LOVE IT
OMG. i looked at the date, and thought 1991 must be a mistake. I had no idea it ran for so long.
I want to go out on the piss with The Zip
Gareth Glitter lol I'm a bungle man myself, imagine that hairy bastard on the sniff with a few vodka's and a few joints lol The useless hairy bastard!
***** lol fuck off
haha same
+ garen glitter stop swearing...
WTF is with your avatar PMSL
Zippy was the antagonist, Bungle was the conformist and George was the pacifist and Jeffrey was the thought police / good morals advisor. Did you learn anything from this as a kid ?
i like how george and zippy have pretty distinctive character voices, and bungle just sounds like some bloke
bought tears to my eyes so funny, everyone can relate to a zippy type character, thats why its funny, lets not forget the classic gesture of zipping up the mouth and throwing away the key came from this :)
Zippy was a sod.
Bungle is too small to be Chewbacca and too big to be an ewok so had to settle for being Jeffrey's side kick. He has since developed a drinking problem and has never gotten over the disappointment.
Zippy reminds him of his failures daily before going off to do coke
Ohh
This is so relevant in the workplace.
Oh I think I'm going to cry...this is my childhood... but not sure if i'll be crying with laughter or something else...Zippy, my hero!
Zippy is the physical embodiment of wrath.
when I was a kid I used to sing "up above the streets and houses Jeffreys flying high opens up his hairy arse and shits in Bungles eye"
you are just too funny, It even goes with the tune. so funny
MCFCRuss Brown 🎶😂😂
Funny as fuck lol
Bungles flying low
lmfaooooooooo proper made me laugh that :D
Zippy! What an absolute legend! After David Bowie, he's the one person I wish I could have met.
Brings back childhood memories.
R.I.P Geoffrey. "It wasn't my fault it was this silly spoon." I'm nearly 12 and I love this 😂
zippy is problematic
Loved this all time children's classic show and rip Geoffrey Hayes.
i still love zippy
Zippy the narcissist
