'''Major Misunderstanding''' is a character in the [[United Kingdom|British]] adult comic ''[[Viz (comics)|Viz]]''. As his name suggests, he often misunderstands situations completely, and is seemingly unable to interpreat incidences in their own context, instead viewing them through the prism of his own prejudices, typically centered on inter-war upper-class values. For example, he once believed that a [[blood donor]] van was a [[French fries|chip]] van, and berated the nurse operating the van for trying to bring "unwanted custom" to his "close-knit community". The Major has mistaken hooded [[monks]] for [[Asbo]]s and vendors at a church [[fete]] for [[asylum seeker]]s. |

He is apparently a retired [[major]] who dresses smartly, has a bushy [[walrus moustache]] and wears his [[medal]]s on his chest for all to see; things which suggest that he is very [[pomposity|pompous]]. He seems [[senility|senile]] and set in his ways, ranting against anything that he believes goes against his traditionalist [[right wing]] moral values. He reads the ''[[Daily Mail]]'', and is always drawn with fists tightly clenched at his sides. |

He is somewhat similar to other Viz characters, including the early Billy Britain and [[Victorian Dad]], although the major has never been shown to have any family. Like Victorian Dad, he is often presented as a [[hypocrite]]. In one episode, a woman who asks him for directions is assumed to be a [[prostitute]]; while he rants at her for her immorality he reveals that in his army days he and his fellow soldiers regularly used prostitutes in Asia, excused as a "discreet encounter in a [[Myanmar|Burmese]] [[bordello]]". |
