Big Heads

Big Stars, Big Egos, Big Heads!

Last Laugh: Celebrity egos inflated

Before the internet and, specifically, You Tube, if you wanted to get a TV series going you had to submit to the rigours of pitching to a network and hoping the execs liked your idea. Or, at the very least, you had to slog away on Channel 31 hoping to one day make the leap a commercial station (see Rove, Bloke's World).

These days, all you have to do is whack your home-made pilot up on You Tube and let viral marketing do the rest. Here's an example - Big Heads TV is a celebrity satire. The makers, production company Crackerjack (who produce Nine's Comedy Inc, among other shows) are hoping to turn it into a series.

The animation style is quite fun, but I'm not sure the gags are up to the standard of, say, South Park. Take a look below and let us know what you think (warning - a bit of bad language). Would you like to see a series like this?
