Biography

Bernhard-Viktor Christoph-Carl von Bülow (12 November 1923 – 22 August 2011), known as Vicco von Bülow or Loriot was a German comedian, humorist, cartoonist, film director, actor and writer.

He was best known for his cartoons, the television series Loriot (1976-78) and his two movies, Ödipussi (1988) and Pappa Ante Portas (1991). On the television series Unsere Besten (Our Best), Loriot was ranked the 54th best German ever.
