World's shortest commercial flight takes less time than watching Air NZ's 'It's Kiwi Safety' video
For once it looks like the Media has got something right....

It's interesting to see Air NZ claimed 6 million views by Wednesday in their press release telling us all how popular it was.. yet YouTube only shows 1.7mil and Facebook 624k views as of now.
I wonder where the other million of views came from?

The cynic in me would say those forced to watch it on their aircraft, but that wouldn’t put much of a dent in the difference you have described.

I was expecting the same.
Best interpreted exponentially, based on how close the other scores are.
Found a youtube comment from an ex FA.
"And all those pax complaining about having to listen to it you get no sympathy from me. Think of the crew who have to listen to it up to 6 times each day!! "
My favorite was the Surfing (now removed / Young Folks music was the star) and Bear Grylls. I never got tired of those.
I was sort of surprised Coolest (Antartica) scored better than Bear Grylls, I bet Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know' helped too.
Those had calm soothing music.
The latest rap has the oppostite effect on me, I find it irritating and agitating.
Also annoyed NZ had ditched the old calming turquoise theme coloured cabin interiors for an "All black" theme.

I only made it through the first 30 seconds. Then I realised that I'll be seeing it onboard all too soon so why would I voluntarily subject myself to it now.
A total cringefest, and I agree it's the worst yet (come back Richard Simmons, all is forgiven!). And am I the only one thinking that Julian Dennison is more than a little overexposed at the moment? Enough already! As far as I'm concerned his very best work was this anti drug driving ad - now THAT is how you do viral marketing:

I grew tired of the Antarctica video but I would gladly have that for another year. My mum (former Elite, now Gold) even hates the new one and she normally loves all of the safety videos (the Men In Black remains her favourite - I'm not as supportive).

Isn't the point of a safety video, well, "safety", and not the number of views, likes, dislikes or whatever on YouTube. If the only reason for this is to get likes, there's clearly no need for the video in the first place, so you might as well drop it.

Though not helpful at Wellington, where with the Antarctic one, once had a fast push back and taxi (guessing no other movements at the time) and we had to wait for the video to finish and the cabin crew secure the cabin before entering the runway.
