Papa Lazarou smiley, please Dave.

I think it's time we had a Papa Lazarou smiley, so I went ahead and did one up in photoshoppe: If you don't know who Papa Lazarou is, please see here, and here. Also, for added humour, try here. Anyway, I can't think of a thread where the good old Papa Lazarou smiley wouldn't be of use. Admins, you know it's the right…

Its one thing for the character in the show. However, detached from the show it is only a Golliwog. At least that's what it will be perceived as by most people.

This is a terrible idea. I still miss the ninja smiley. Also the pacman smiley.

If the pacman smiley doesn't fit the theme, THE THEME IS BROKEN!

Great smilies BTW.

Oh certainly, there's no denying it's minstrel makeup (well, if you've seen series 3, it isn't makeup at all!), that's kind of part of the whole character of Papa Lazarou, the very out-dated circus preformer. I mean, he's got the whole traveling freak-show thing going on, I'd say without doubt he was designed to be extremely un-PC and outdated.

I was watching the League Of Gentlemen again today, and I spotted this:

Suffice to say, I bawled with laughter that I saw it just after I created this thread. Irony, or am I being watched?
