youtubing for a cause: send lozzy to sydney

September 24th, 2008

Update: I WON I WON! Yes the lovely Nova gang called me this morn and I’m off to the Grand Final. Kisses and gropes to everyone who watched and told their friends (because I have none).

Regular Oh Errol readers may be aware that we love a fanvid. Lozzy loves them so much that she wrote an essay on them in her last year of uni (for reals. Communications degrees for the win!).

So when we heard that Nova 106.9 (that’s the QLD strand) were giving tickets away to the NRL Grand Final, and all you had to do was make a video with the words Nova and Footy in it, well we pretty much self combusted. John John was so excited he stole right from Mic Robertson and did the wang dance for the rest of the afternoon. His stamina continues to astound us.

Have the QLD Nova gang been reading Errol? Coz this shit is so up our alley it’s not even funny. We already do this stuff WITHOUT the lure of a prize at the end. And they only had two conditions! NO RULES! WE LOVE NO RULES!

So Lozzy, being a Dirty Queenslander (who refuses to think of herself as a Queenslander, but we’ll play along just this once) with a love for both footy AND Sydney, spent way too long a perfectly reasonable amount of time working on what is pretty much a work of art – a montage of the NRL Bromance, the Footy ManLove that we adore so much, the positions a tackle can put the boys in that look like heartwarming post-coital embraces.

All you guys have to do to send Lozzy to Sydney for some Grand Final action is watch the video, because the one with the most hits win. It’s the one with Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk snuggling in the preview pic. Obviously.

Watch the ManLove and Send Lozzy to the Grand Final

Seeing as there’s only one other video up, we’re pretty confident about Lozzy’s chances of winning. And honestly, even if there weren’t a prize being waved in front of us, the experience was worth it. WE’RE JUST REALLY HAPPY TO BE NOMINATED! WE’D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY!

So toddle off, settle in, and bask in the warm glow of NRL Bromance. Also our comedic skillz, but that goes without saying. Feel free to watch it over and over and over again – it’s totally allowed and even encouraged since they said on the show “we don’t care if you just keep clicking it yourself”. Thanks Nova!

And yes, that IS Nick Youngquest and Daniel Holdsworth modelling for Lowes.

PS: Don’t forget on Friday October 3 Sassy + Kiki will be returning to Fire Up on FBI 94.5. Download the podcast and read about their last guesting spot here.

    I WATCHED!
    I laughed.
    I cried.
    it was amazing.

    … do it for errol.

  • baz

    i have goosebumps…and a dumb stupid grin

  • Bec

    That was awesome! Who are you taking when you win?

  • http://www.oherrol.com sassy

    um, bec. do you want to stop trying to pick up lozzy right here in the open?

    KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS PLS.

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    BAHAH. sassy she can’t help it, i am DESIRABLE.

    i dunno, i know nothing about it, it doesn’t even say how many tickets! qlders, start buttering me up 8)

  • http://www.oherrol.com sassy

    omg of course it doesn’t say how many tickets you get. I LOVE this competition. it’s the most low-rent thing I’ve ever heard.

    WE LOVE YOU ASH AND LUTSY.

  • Kiki

    hahahaha ash and luttsy = me and sassys future.

    bec you whore. you cant trust those lesbians. first sign of weakness and they are allllll over you.

  • Kiki

    also i already said this the first 20 times i watched it but its pretty much the greatest piece of film making known to mankind.

    ……..and im gonna go watch it again.

  • http://www.oherrol.com sassy

    I would like to include a GLOWING testimonial from another manly fan:

    “I wish you could vote, rather than just do it on ‘hits’. Becuase I watched them both (you know, just to see what the other one was like, right?), and I f*cking hated the other one because it was all about last year’s grand final.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is that your gay sex video was far better than seeing footage of us losing a grand final.”

    IF THAT DOESN’T CONVINCE YOU TO WATCH, NOTHING WILL.

  • Kiki

    hahahahahahah.

    u know what? we forgot the foto of dell and willie having sexy lotion times :O

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    oh no we did too!

  • Bec

    There’s always room for a lesbian Lozzy!

  • Bec

    Also kiki, i may be a whore, but i’m not a CHEAP whore.

    P.S That video is so good! You have to win, surely.

  • Kiki

    ‘Theres Always Room for a Lesbian’

    i cant wait to read your autobiography Bec.

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    hahahahah yes it will sit right next to mine, “Angry Little Oracle”

  • Jade

    I loled.

    good work girls. nothing better than wednesday afternoon bromance.

  • Marlo

    Lozzy that is HILARIOUS. hahahahahah I was crying with laughter about 20seconds in.
    if I watch it a million times will you win? or does it pick up the IPs?

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    i have no idea marls! best to just watch 1000 times regardless.

  • cindylou

    I love it, Lozzy!!!

    And Sassy’s right about the whole thing being completely low-rent. I’m sure they’ll just go by views on youtube and the IP thing won’t matter (and if so, you’re on 217… the other guy’s only got 134. SUCK IT, DANLORENTI!)

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    thankyou bb! yes you’re probably right, but better safe (oh my fucking god, i typed that as ‘dave’. HELLO MY SUBCONSCIOUS) than sorry.

    ps you can totally come with me you know.

  • cronktser

    OMG i laughed my dick off AGAIN!!!

    all my fave hotties, and THEN MORE, are featured.

    fingers, arms, eyes and legs crossed that u win lozzy…..

  • sarah

    About time bromance got the recognition it deserves. It’s because of videos like this, that young boys experiencing the first thrills of bromance won’t be hanging their heads and trying to hide it.

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    CRONKSTER. thankyou darlin. you’re like a lil sunshiney gay cheerleader.

    what can i say sarah, i am kind of a pioneer.

  • Kiki

    sarah! is this a new commenter? i love new people!

    *squishy hugs*

  • ange

    hah, lovin the vid. did they mention this on nova? i may have missed it if they did.

    yaaaay, you used my nicky/DJ scan. good stuff. promote their bromance *thumbs up*

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    i’m usually not up early enough for the morning show so i’m not sure how much they’ve said, but it was tuesday that i heard about it! they pretty much said “no one has entered yet so we’re begging you and don’t care if you click it yourself”, so I figured that was my calling.

    aww that was you who scanned! those pics brought the lolz like you wouldn’t believe.

  • cronktser

    I sent the link to about 50 people on youtube, so it should have got plenty of hits with that too!
    When do you find out u win lozzy????

  • Bec

    YAY LOZZY

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    bahah did you listen? did i sound like a man/crack whore?

  • Bec

    No, you sounded so good!

    I’m not just saying that, either. You have a good voice for radio!

    Congratulations! Bro-mance on Nova. hahah.

  • Jade

    woooo!! congrats lozzy!

  • http://www.oherrol.com sassy

    you won! I am so so excited for your trip to syds. I am also so so happy that you won it with a manlove video in a competition with only two people.

    it’s the most errol thing I’ve ever heard.

  • Cronkster

    omfg she won!!!

    hats off to u lozzy

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    WELL sassy they said that there were other entries but they couldnt put them up because they might get sued. i just can’t even think what would be in them that’d get them sued. and they were like “oh they were really funny too”. YEH NOT AS FUNNY AS MINE I BET.

  • http://www.oherrol.com sassy

    only two non-defamatory entries, lolol. amazing. perhaps they were videos from k hunt’s phone.

  • http://www.oherrol.com sassy

    ps now all you have to do lozzy is get manly INTO the final.

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    perhaps they were videos from k hunt’s phone.

    HAHAHAHHAHAHA omg i wish i had said that

  • von

    HOORAY LOZZY!!! I’m so proud of you. I can only hope to some day be where you are right now. *tear*

  • http://www.oherrol.com lozzy

    thankyou von darlin! i think winning a comp with a manlove video and being featured on hotaussiefootyplayersshirtless is pretty much the highlight of my life.

  • bart

    Well done Loz!

    Enjoy the trip to the Grand Final, and you got the right result tonight as well!

  • Miss Bree

  • Sarah
