Basil Brush 

Fox puppet which became a household name after the Basil Brush Show was launched in the late 60s. Famous for his trademark laugh, which is probably one of the most irritating sounds known to man.
The show has recently returned, but with a new puppet and voice.

The new Basil is infinitely more fat and camp.
"Basil Brush. He goes 'HA HA HA BOOM BOOM.'"

"Basil Brush? Who the fox hat?"

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
