Big Ted Character Analysis

Big Ted is one of the bikers in the café where War, Famine, Pollution, and Death meet. He’s noticeably taller than his friends Greaser, Pigbog, and Big Ted. He’s also extremely ignorant: although it’s frightening when Death reveals himself to the human bikers, Big Ted persists in questioning the Four Horsemen about their involvement in biker groups and what kind of motorcycles they ride. He dies when he crashes into a pile of fish on the M25 motorway.
