Nine promo team turns to YouTube. Again
Now this is just getting silly. Seriously, Nine. Stop. It’s just becoming embarrassing for everyone.
First came the great Rescue Special Ops/ Bear Grylls rip-off.
Then there was the VILF Vampire Diaries/ True Blood rip-off.
Now comes Nine’s promo for The Block, which appears to rather draw inspiration from Nickelodeon’s slime promos.
(Dr Mumbo’s thanks go to Xtreme Information for digging out the promo.)
Channel 9 have no shame…
I wish I got paid as much to rip off other people’s work
I Don’t get it. What does slime have to do with a rennovation show?
Why do TV stations continue to do this?
I wish I got paid as much to rip off other people’s work…
very good, wisey
Wisey … great line worth paying for.
What are your bank account details … nothing dodgy … promise I’ll put the $$$ in … this Interweb thingie is secure or so I’ve heard … promise
hehe I’ll give you my bank details once I hear back from the Prince of Djibouti… He emailed me a while back asking for them… strange… I haven’t from him since…
Wisey. How wonderful to hear from you. I misplaced your contact details so couldn’t get back to you.
Your parcel has been dispatched via FedEx in a plain brown-paper wrapper as you requested. As a gesture of goodwill to compensate for the untimely delay in dispatch I will also be sending you one of my finest racing camels.
Wisey, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we have also found a technique that will allow you to lose weight AND grow a specific body-part by a couple inches.
If you would like, we could debit this into your account. You’ll certainly put that racing camel to shame my shy little shamalamadingdong.
Also, could you provide us with information on the Shamwow. Have heard much about this, but we don’t get cable over here.
Dad! Mum said to call her – something about the crown jewels needing polishing.
Dad! I thought we talked about this. While your body parts are indeed large, nobody in Australia wants an elongated nose.
And I got you a shamwow for fathers day.. thankyou for ruining the suprise.
Unoriginal and irrelevant – I thought this was right on brand for Nine.
I remember somebody @ 9 saying to me when I was a promo producer at nine after putting together a launch promo for “Wipeout” “OH NO I DOOONT LIKE IT – I HATE IT – GO TO YOUTUBE AND LOOK AT THE WAY THE YANKS DO IT” a disgrace to a very proud network, and the industry.
