E. J. Thribb is the fictitious poet-in-residence at the satirical magazine Private Eye. The character was created in 1972 by Barry Fantoni, who wrote the poems until 2010, when he was succeeded by other staff members. Thribb's poems are usually about recently deceased famous people, and titled "In Memoriam", with the first line almost invariably reading: "So. Farewell then...". He is an obituarist and threnodist. Thribb usually mentions the deceased's catchphrase or theme song, and his poems often feature his friend Keith, or Keith's mum, who is usually "like" the deceased in some way.

| - E. J. Thribb is the fictitious poet-in-residence at the satirical magazine Private Eye. The character was created in 1972 by Barry Fantoni, who wrote the poems until 2010, when he was succeeded by other staff members. Thribb's poems are usually about recently deceased famous people, and titled "In Memoriam", with the first line almost invariably reading: "So. Farewell then...". He is an obituarist and threnodist. Thribb usually mentions the deceased's catchphrase or theme song, and his poems often feature his friend Keith, or Keith's mum, who is usually "like" the deceased in some way. Thribb's poetry is characterised by deadpan delivery and a stream of consciousness which is broken up into short lines seemingly at random, and has very little rhyme, rhythm or reason. Thribb usually signs his poems with his name and age – 17½ – although sometimes this will be modified to allude to something else for which the deceased is famous. He sometimes signs himself E. Jarvis Thribb. In the first issue after the death of Peter Cook, comedian and longtime proprietor and financial supporter of Private Eye, the magazine's cover consisted simply of a photograph of Cook beneath, in large print, the phrase "So. Farewell then...". Original writer Barry Fantoni stopped writing Thribb in December 2010, upon his retirement from the Eye. Later contributors included Christopher Booker. The identity of the current poet(s) has not been revealed. (en)
- E.J. Thribb is sinds 1972 een fictief dichter in het Britse satirische tijdschrift Private Eye, die er een vaste rubriek in heeft. De dichter is meestal 17½ jaar oud. E.J. Thribb is het pseudoniem van ; in elke editie van het tijdschrift levert hij een gelegenheidsgedicht voor de rubriek In memoriam, die gewoonlijk over recentelijk overleden bekende mensen gaat. Elk gedicht begint met het vers: So, farewell then... In de loop van het gedicht wordt doorgaans de catchphrase van de heengegane verwerkt, gevolgd door de gevleugelde woorden: Yes. That wasyour catchphrase. Verder is een belangrijk leidmotief Thribbs vriend Keith, die vaak op een of andere manier met de betreurde overeenkomsten vertoont. In vroeger jaren figureerde eveneens Keiths moeder prominent in de gedichten, maar dit is schaarser geworden, met als gevolg dat bezorgde lezers zich afvragen of ze soms met haar gezondheid sukkelt. Thribb ondertekent zijn poëmen steeds met zijn leeftijd erbij; soms varieert die echter, indien de gestorven persoon met een bepaald getal in verband kon worden gebracht. De lyriek van E.J. Thribb werkt met stream of consciousness en bezit weinig tot geen prosodie, rijm, metrum, poëtische zeggingskracht of logica. (nl)
