Persona
The character retains a cult following among those who watched the show as a child. He is probably the most famous character from the show, probably because he was the only one who really spoke his mind and would make for hours of laughter. Zippy would claim to be the best at whatever was being discussed, and was always right. He also always had to be the centre of attention. For example, the other characters would be having a discussion, when Zippy would shout: "But I don't want to talk, I want to sing! I'm very good at singing! I'm a little teapot short and stout, here's my handle and here's my spout..."
Due to his frequently loud behaviour and silly voice getting him into all sorts of trouble, other characters in Rainbow would zip his mouth shut, rendering him unable to talk. Oddly, Zippy would never simply un-zip himself, preferring to stay down in the dumps, submissively accepting his punishment. He loves to eat sweets, sing songs and tell his favourite jokes, sometimes to the annoyance of the others.
