Kind of lame that the american creator of Lord Buckethead told him to stop using his character and then immediately had someone else do the same gag.

    So the British version of vermin supreme?

    One of several. Though the most famous equivalent to Vermin Supreme in the UK is probably Screaming Lord Such (RIP) of The Monster Raving Loony Party. He was a staple of elections in the UK for a couple of decades.

    Fun fact: when Such finished ahead of the candidate for the struggling Social Liberal Democratic Party (SDLP) in a by-election, the SDLP officially and permanently shut themselves down. So Such basically caused the death of a legitimate (but failing) political party.

    Another UK candidate is Lord Buckethead (of the Monster Raving Loony Party).

    As a side note, there have been many one-off UK prank candidates too, like the Alfred The Chicken Party (which was advertising a new video game), and the Mongolian BBQ's A Great Place To Party (advertising a restaurant).
