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.

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.

[@Dreamskater100]

Lolllll!!

[@dominickeefe2454]

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

[@cacauldr]

@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.

[@caileanseamus1876]

Zippy is a narcissist. Gaslighting, playing the victim, refusing to accept blame and compulsively lying.

[@cacauldr]

He shows more than just narcissistic traits. Zippy has all the traits of a sociopath. He regards himself as the best qualified person for everything, but he still needs others (as lower pawns) to keep his illusion intact.

[@cacauldr]

He displays a scheming nature with little regards for the wellbeing of others, but still restricted by fear for rejection, scolding or punishment. He knows when he's out of bounds but believes that he's entitled to be the exception to the rules, and struggles emotionally with the concept of others not accepting this simple truth (his reality).

[@MrMisanthrope84]

And yet he is preferable to the insufferably boring Bungle the self righteous dullard.

[@littleowl43]

Sounds like my ex wife

[@robfuller7841]

He stood in the next General Election afterwards. He seemed qualified!

[@PrimeM92]

[@slacknhash]

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.
