Biography[]
Rex the Runt[]
Vince suffers from "Random Pavarotti disease", a disease which causes him to sing opera uncontrollably. He got the disease when he swallowed a tablet that Doctor Dogg gave him.
He doesn't speak too much, but he makes annoying sounds. Some words and phrases he says the most are:
- Tuesday
- Trousers
- Spaghetti
- "I like jam."
- "Lalalalala la la." (the Random Pavarotti Disease song)
- "When you plant your brassicas in May, cover them in mulch."
Other appearances[]
In the Creature Comforts episode "Is Anyone Out There?", Vince can be seen on a T-shirt worn by a blue alien.
Vince makes a cameo appearance in Shaun the Sheep Movie on a board of captured animals alongside Feathers McGraw and Creature Comforts animals.
Trivia[]
- His "random Pavarotti disease" presumably takes its name from the late opera tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. Additionally, the songs sung by Vince's disease are taken from Gioachino Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville.
- In "Under the Duvet", Wendy referred to the son Vince had with a vacuum as her little nephew, possibly suggesting that she and Vince are siblings.
