'''Major Misunderstanding''' is a character in the [[United Kingdom|British]] adult comic [[Viz (comic)|Viz]].


{{Redirect category shell|1=
He is 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 certainly set in his ways, ranting against anything that he believes goes against his traditionalist [[right wing]] moral values. He reads the [[Daily Mail]].
{{R from merge}}

{{R to section}}
As his name suggests, he often misunderstands situations completely.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 the "close-knit community".
}}

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]], and while he rants at her for her immorality he reveals that in his army days he and his fellow soldiers regularly used prostitutes in [[Taiwan]], which he claims was "different". At the end of the episode he decides that he will use the "prostitute's" services after all.
