TVB placed in great effort into promoting their series at the HK FILMART 2013 with trailers of their grand production series and sending out their main artists to demonstrate their status as the HK television giant. Although TVB had a strong momentum, sometimes we won't know what the audience's taste is until the actual series broadcast. Whether or not the series are considered classics in the eye of the viewers, that's still open for discussion. Recently on a website, there was a wide spread of classic 'goofs' in two TVB series. Hearing English use in an ancient or pre-modern series will definitely increase the views significantly since the audience can laugh as they watch and laugh some more after watching.
"Check" Heard in Perish In the Name of Love
A Youtube user recently uploaded a classic clip from 2003's Perish in the Name of Love starring Charmaine Sheh, Steven Ma and Moses Chan. The clip went viral shortly after its debut on Youtube with over 260,000 views (over 300K now). In this costume series, the Emperor played by Moses Chan said: "Please [check] for me..." Once this clip surfaced, it instantly became the joke of the millennium. Netizens were surprised to hear the English word "check" in an costume series.
The word "Call" Heard in Ten Brothers
The other series was 2007's Ten Brothers starring Frankie Lam and Kenix Kwok. This was a pre-modern series and at the ending scene, "Lok Ying Kwan" played by Frankie Lam was enjoying the moon with his family, he said as he walked: "Wah! Are you kidding! Enjoying the moon and having dessert, why did you [call] me so late!" Looking back at the original broadcast, TVB didn't cut that part out of it. Netizens replied to "Lok Ying Kwan" comment, and joked: "Because cell phones weren't out yet! How can it be so convenient for me to [call] you?"
Aimee Chan Teases Moses
Following the appearance of a glowing cell phone in his pocket in Last Steep of Ascent, Moses Chan was caught speaking English in Perish in the Name of Love. Yesterday Moses claimed he's the "Number 1 Goof", even his girlfriend Aimee teased him. When they saw the clip, they burst in laughter together. Moses laughed: "At the time, the technology wasn't as advanced, so the clip didn't leak on the internet until now. Funny, nobody noticed at the time. In that series, I played Charmaine and Sonija Kwok's father, the audience wasn't aware. Now, I've already 'checked' it, I really did say that, but saying that line was quite comfortable. Today, I believe situation won't happen, catching my goofs, I'm number 1. I just have too many goofs."
