  Fun, but I can see it getting incredibly annoying the second or third time you see it.

  Have a look on YouTube for Air new Zealand’s last dozen or so safety videos. Particularly the sports illustrated one.

    My initial reaction was “but Air New Zealand have been doing this sort of thing for years” – Hobbit one was particularly brilliant.

  Genius! Thanks for sharing. It’s actually a masterclass in message construction – all the bits they want you to know are absolutely clear and explicit, yet it flows from concept to concept without breaking its stride.

    It’s interesting though as to how the different bits are presented. The “everyday safety” stuff – how to work the seat belt, stowing bags properly – is spoken and clearly enunciated. The “serious emergency” bits – oxygen masks, evacuation – are sung and danced, and the words are maybe less clear, especially to a non-native English speaker.

    I presume the FAA had the final word on this, but it’s still notable how the style of presentation changes within the video.

  Amusing and entertaining. 🙂

  Is this the first Virgin-linked video/promo/ad without the (very un-)amusing appearance of SRB D)?

  Sorry, D) was meant to be a laugh smiley.

  Genuinely brilliant. Love that they premiered it in Times Square last year too.

  One of the best ones is the Southwest rap

  Release seatbelt by pulling on the top of the buckle? I would have said it was more the side…

  Hilarious! It’ll certainly get children watching, and they’re the ones who may not know the rules yet.
