It’s very good. Well done. You beat everyone else to it also.
Have you seen the LA one – it’s funny how Perth shares some similarities with regards to driving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xzA-Op1soo
Hilarious guys, love it!
Here’s some more shit for you –
Its a 2 speed economy, eh?
Bloody cashed up bogans
If I see another lime green HSV ute I’m gonna spew
If I see another CUB on a jet ski I’m gonna f*@#*in’ spew
I know this guy, left school in year 10, only works 1 week on/ 1 week off and he’s getting $150K working on the mines, flies in and out from Bali, got a mansion on the beach there. F*#k.
I should get a job in mining… but work in Perth
Bloody Eastern Staters bludge off our mining royalties
Bloody mining tax
Bloody carbon tax
WA should have a Secession. Seriously.
Some random dude just came up to me
That’s so random
Yeah, random.
Its so windy
Thank god for the Freo’ Doctor
I reckon its heaps more tropical weather than it used to be
Heaps more, eh?
Its heaps hotter than it used to be
Heaps
It rains more than it used to, eh?
We live in a desert
We live in a hair dryer
Bloody flies
Those dung beetles they introduced are getting rid of the flies
Emu Export tastes like cat piss
Wife beaters drink that shit
Love it! Nice work Kats.
Some more: Perth airport sucks and it’s Qantas club is full of bikies and bogans… Heading to Margs… Quokka soccer… Raft up… Ripped off, that sucks!
I’m one of those ‘didn’t like it so I left’ expats but I LOVE this HEAPS. Yeh naaa yeah I do. The comments on Perthnow are almost as good as the video. Props to Mark Zager for the icing on the cake.
What a lazy rip off, and not even done if the form that the web has embraced for Shit ???? Says.
Hey Kats don’t you live in Perth? Did you really want to make Perth people look so bad?
Everything is better over ‘east’ for you guys. Media, suppliers and whatever. And now your taking the piss out of Perth. All so you can get some little creative points. And it’s not even an original idea. Geeezz , you guys have a hide. Why don’t you pack up and move over east? I’m sure I’m not the only person who would be happy see you guys leave Perth. For the record, I’m one of the people who doesn’t get any work from you guys.
Hi Proud from Perth. Give me a call at Meerkats. I’m not sure what you do, but I’m happy to have a chat and see if there’s any opportunity to use your services. We’re a Perth agency and proud of it. Don’t use the blog to bag us, pick up the phone. 9388 0011.
I think it’s bloody hilarious! Done before? Who cares! It’s completely true and just meant for a bit of a laugh, so ease up on all the negativity. Seems like some people need to find their sense of humour.
Hey ‘loved it’. You obviously don’t work for a creative agency who values creativity and stands behind original thinking. Why don’t you go back to your desk and start coping someones else’s hard work and claim it as your own again.
Great job guys! Hilarious but yet oh so true!
If you make v2 I think you need to include …bloody 3 hour time difference!
Or I think you should go with an adaptation of “Sh!t Advertiser Say” to “Sh!t Perth Advertisers Say”
Hey 2.59… They never claimed it to be an original idea. That’s not what this is about. The original YouTube video – ‘Sh*t girls say’ – has been adapted into a million different variations. This is just another one of those. Nothing more, nothing less.
PS You obviously don’t work at an agency who values spell check.
Look dude. The Kats are trying to establish themselves in the TOP 3. Copying others work will not do get them there. You don’t see BRAND or MF doing this sort of stuff. Lowe 303 did it a few times and they got caught out as well. I think if you are TOP 3, you lead not copy.
“Relax a Little NOT till bedtime”, Meerkats were having fun with a popular meme. I very much doubt that organisational aspirations had anything to do with it.
Brand and Marketforce probably don’t do this stuff because the don’t want to. That’s their business. Frankly I don’t think Meerkats had the opinions of the rest of the industry in mind when they did it, and rightfully so.
For crying out loud folks, It’s just a bit of fun – done for its own sake, with no other purpose than getting a laugh. Lighten up.
As for the piece itself – it’s enjoyable, and I laughed, but that’s as far as its impact goes for me personally. A funny tit-bit, soon forgotten. No offence intended to the guys at Meerkats.
If we really *must* compare what Ad people do for a laugh, John Davis used to dress as Tina Turner and prance around on stage live and in person miming to “Simply The Best” – this is in front of current clients, future clients and the rest of the industry at large! And the rest of his agency joined in. Could you imagine Marketforce or The Brand doing that?
(A lot of smart – alec comments and disturbing mental images just sprang to mind – I will ignore them.)
Compared to that gutsy display of unbridled silliness and joy, copying a popular meme for fun comes across as a bit timid to me. But to each their own.
(In all fairness, John’s was no ordinary man and JDA was no ordinary agency. Having fun was part of the job description and riotous laughter was a daily event for everyone. We need more like him.)
So true.
We’ve lost the idea of having fun. The good old days.
Having a laugh and doing some ads.
John was a guy who loved a laugh. The industry misses him.
Sad that not many will read you wise words Fox.
We’re off the front page now and on the back page list.
Thanks for the reminder.
Emma.

You’re a natural, Tom.

It’s very good. Well done. You beat everyone else to it also.

Crikey Zagar, get down here and help with SPPS Chapter 2….
111,538 YouTube views? That’s heaps.
Fuck I thought this was a new idea.
There’s a shitload of them on the tube.
But well done anyway.
Another non original idea from Meerkats? What!!!
@underthesun. It’s a meme.

Hey ‘unoriginal said’ – I guess the concept of irony is lost on you?? How Perth.
All your eastern states media buddies must be having a great laugh at our expense.

Thanks Bainy. If you don’t mind Ill pop in and see you. I’m a media rep.
