Kevin Quentin Julius Patterson is a character created and played by the British comedian Harry Enfield. In a 2001 Channel 4 poll, Kevin was ranked 15th on their list of the 100 Greatest TV characters. Evolution Kevin originated in 1990 in the "Little Brother" sketches of Harry Enfield's Television Programme as an annoyingly energetic young boy who constantly vexed his older brother with his irritating catchphrases and habit of bursting into his room when he was with a girl, to bother their activities . In the first episode of Harry Enfield and Chums (the follow-up series, in November 1994), Kevin is excited at being nearly thirteen. The sketch showed his parents watching in horror as Kevin lost his sense of dress, courtesy and posture as the clock struck midnight on the day of his thirteenth birthday, thus becoming Kevin the Teenager, one of the most memorable of Enfield's comic creations.

The character is also heavily dictated by peer pressure, and was seen in various other sketches trying to sound like Ali G, or Liam Gallagher. His best friend is another teenage boy named Perry Carter (played by the actress Kathy Burke, and based on an early character Burke portrayed on various Channel 4 shows). They starred in a 2000 feature film, Kevin & Perry Go Large. The sketches suggest that teenage boys are always very polite to all parents except their own. Kevin and Perry heap immense amounts of abuse on their own respective parents (though Perry shouts at his down the phone rather than face-to-face) yet are very polite to each other's parents. In one sketch, Kevin's plans to host a
