Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos was an Australian television comedy series which gained notoriety when it was cancelled during its only broadcast on September 4, 1992. The series was a spin-off of Australia's Funniest Home Video Show. Hosted by Doug Mulray, Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos depicted videos of sexual situations and other sexually explicit content.
After being informed by friends at a dinner, Kerry Packer tuned in to watch the show on TCN-9 and was so offended by its content that he phoned the studio operators and ordered them to "Get that shit off the air". The studio operators complied, and the show immediately pulled the plug and went to a black screen saying the network had "technical difficulties" (in Melbourne, the show went to a commercial and never came back), with two reruns of Cheers filling the show's remaining air time.
Due to other programming obligations, some states aired the show earlier, and thus received the entire show. In most states, however, the last clip reported seen on the show before it got pulled was of a child reaching for a kangaroo's genitals.
The show ran for just 34 minutes of a 90 minute premiere.
