They were on youtube a year or two ago...multiple versions of the same 'skit': a Ron Burgandy type anchor would toss to the girl at the weather wall who would then get pelted with different items which were meant to match up with what she was forecasting. I want to say it was an Aussie kids show, but I'm not sure. (disclaimer: no kids involved).

Any ideas?

I was thinking of these myself. I think they were from New Zealand but I can't recall other details. Some of the targets get really nicely foamed, too.

Now that you mention it, yes...I think it was a New Zealand thing.

Surprised that no one else remembers. I'm pretty positive that I learned about them here.

The New Zealand thing is still going and gives some nice things from time to time when the hosts or guest celebs get pied/gunged.

The OP is asking about Holly Willoughby getting gunged at the weather desk. Just google her name and gunge and you'll find those clips I'm sure.

No I'm not. It wasn't Holly. It was a different girl every time. The outfits were very 70's/retro, and like I said--everytime time a Ron Burgandy-type character introduced them. same set up and same guy everytime. Only the girl changed.

So what exactly *IS* the "New Zealand Thing"?

It's from What Now.

I think the YouTube account that uploaded those videos is called John Doe and every video he has is unlisted, so you need a link. Your best bet is to look through the old TG finds page, pretty sure that's where it was posted first.

"TG finds"?

I found them! They were, indeed, from Whatnow. The amount of mess tends to be touch and go, but some of them are pretty good.

I'm a bit busy today, but tomorrow I'll see I can upload them to my profile (or to YouTube.)

You, sir, would be my hero!

Today was busy between booting a new computer and the holiday, but I got to it (eventually). Two messings per video:

Bing. Go.

THANKS, FRIEND!

Those clips from "Whatnow" are hilarious! Every weathergirl gets invited to lunch, and when they refuse, they get fired, and a new one is brought in! And they all get pretty messy!

Very cute set-up!

Thanks for finding & posting those, Don'tPanic!

Love these thanks!
