PLEASE NOTE - 0:17 to 1:03 has had it's original audio replaced Skip to 1:03 to bypass replaced audio Due to a copyright claim, I've had to replace the music for 45 seconds of the video. Because the replacing system TH-cam offers is incredibly basic, it overlays any audio, not just music. So my usual opening 'Hello and welcome...' etc, had to go. This was the only way in which I could keep the video up and fully visible without completely deleting and re-uploading, which was the last thing I wanted to do. Hope you all understand.

The Sunglasses and Lips ident say "If you want to listen to something different every week instead of something you are already used to, then you would have to let us know"
The V.P.R.O. Is not only innovative in terms of its idents of course, but through its programmes too. It sees its role as being to push the boundaries of radio and television and in this it is very sucessful. They do good work. PS ... in the sunglasses ident they are inviting viewers to become members/subscribers of the VPRO. PPS the music you can hear faintly in the background in the lips ident is “ Das Glühwürmchen “ by Paul Lincke. It’s on TH-cam too.
The sunglasses and lips idenst are adverts for the vpro asking viewers to support the vpro's unique content (by calling the phone numbers), or else we ll only see what the majority wants.
They are still using ELO - Here is the News in 2024, usually with the visuals synchronised to the music. The only Dutch broadcaster to stick to their intro tune for 40 years. They used it on the radio a couple of months after the song came out, and it became their TV ident after they stopped trying to be weird on TV.
13:22 as a Dutch speaking person myself I think this "error" is just a technical difficulty card and there's nothing more than that. I'm not sure about the weird video effect maybe it's there to look cool or it could be some video gliching out.
14:20 I believe that's a breakdown slide Martin, it's nothing to get too much wound up with over. The BBC and channel 4 are synonymous with them basically 😂 Update: I find it interesting when Adam says "I need something a little more than that" but yet when Channel 4 breaks down, its breakdown slide literally just says "Programmes continue shortly", a little better maybe but its still vague enough
Thank you to those who could attend this episodes premiere! It was a lot of fun making this one! Do you think all Ident Review episodes should be premieres? Or should they.... they... th.... Er is iets mis....

These are crazy good for the 70’s, if you would have told me they were from the 90’s I’d have believed you. Having said that I do now have a headache 🤕
I wish you could have also covered the Kiss, Snakes, and Deflate idents, but I'm still very much satisfied with what we got! Anyway, awesome video and analysis!!
It's not 'the V-pro', it's V-P-R-O (despite what the logo might suggest) - if you nose around a bit you'll find more idents (or 'headers' as the Dutch seem to call them) where you can hear the letters are distinct. Google Translate isn't perfect and some uses of 'het' in Dutch should be absorbed into the word they refer to in English.
“The Gong Man” and “The Flying Man” actuality wasn’t that bad, they kind of gave me SpingeBob vibes in a way, especially the fourth and “The Flying Man was kind of cool Darn, ”Error” and “Melting” caught me off guard, I was expecting a jumpscare and for “Melting”, I was expecting something like a 90s BBC 2 style ident, not… that bizarre sequence… 04:08 Yep, that DEFINITELY sounded like somebody squeezing out a giant poo, Darn, I guess he was REALLY constipated, (Gotta stop eatin’ that fast food…) or he was having a nightmare… actually it kind of sounded less like moaning and more like he was straining and struggling to carry a heavy object. Wow, whoever provided the sound for this ident must’ve wither had so much fun or felt really awkward recording For “Wavy” and “Spirals and Stripes”, WOW, they are SO CONSIDERATE to those who have epilepsy or are just sensitive to strobe lights and patterns… I was being sarcastic, I myself am sensitive to strobe lights and I got a headache after watching a SECOND on of those two idents, I had to skip them “Sunglasses” and “Lips” feel more like something you’d be MORE likely to see on a channel like Nickelodeon (Obviously with a few alterations) This would be a channel you wouldn’t want to tune into at 3am, but as weird as these indents are, I don’t hate them

‘Gong man kinda sus’ - Adam Martyn (28th October 2020)
It’s my personal head-canon that all the idents are a result of the dimensional collapse caused by the gong man in the first ident.
They are still using ELO - Here is the News in 2024, usually with the visuals synchronised to the music. The only Dutch broadcaster to stick to their intro tune for 40 years. They used it on the radio a couple of months after the song came out, and it became their TV ident after they stopped trying to be weird on TV.
I like the first two variants of "Stairs". It's like a comedy, basically. Personally, I find the canoe man hilarious!

There will be read as Even geduld aub
@@julianhanc8272 er is iets mis - something's wrong
These idents look pretty ahead of their time, like they would fit more in the 90s to Mid 2000s.
One of the greatest uses of Scanimate.
Thank you to those who could attend this episodes premiere! It was a lot of fun making this one! Do you think all Ident Review episodes should be premieres? Or should they.... they... th.... Er is iets mis....
i think only special episodes like this should be premieres
review the wb pls

It was made by the same people who did the MTV Europe Idents back in the 90s
I wish you could have also covered the Kiss, Snakes, and Deflate idents, but I'm still very much satisfied with what we got! Anyway, awesome video and analysis!!
In 13:34 - "er is iets mis" means "something's wrong".
It's not 'the V-pro', it's V-P-R-O (despite what the logo might suggest) - if you nose around a bit you'll find more idents (or 'headers' as the Dutch seem to call them) where you can hear the letters are distinct.

before you ask, yes. the VPRO still exists
After this I’m looking up their modern idents
I really hope that error ident was a please stand by screen. Imagine seeing that shit right before some regular ass program.
I don't think so. They already have something with the wording "Storing" (interference) and "Even geduld aub" (Please stand by).
@@hazimworks well, who says you can't have more than 1 standby screens
This episode is an WTF Moment, because all of those weirdness and craziness of those idents that you want to say WTF!?!
Fun Fact: This Inspired Martin Lambie Nairn's Career
17:13 VPRO wants to know your location.

10:55 shout out to the wet van de grote getallen (and greetings from the Netherlands!) 🇳🇱
the bird one jumpscared me holy shit
Same I watched it on tv
I feel like the melting ident is less of actually melting, and more of "i squished too much play dough out and it's sliding off" type thing
4:41 This made me crack up.
Jesus christ. Its like ive been on a bad trip and im coming down
20:47 - Guessed it! But still scary!
I admit, ten years ago when I come across these, the 70s VPRO logo scared me like hell. This version scared me so much.
the Vypro channel intros remind me of a dark version of both Sesame Street and Zap! segments
I’m here from the premiere this video is going to be awesome
premiere*
@@scentedcandles1236 i’m sorry I’ve corrected it
Come on, the gong man ident is clearly a parody on The Rank Organisation/Rank Group logo.
Darn I Missed The Premier
I've been to the Netherlands before (Amsterdam) nice place.
Heh, eat your heart out Fred Siebert!
You do not pronounce it as Vee Proh.
why didn't the vpro have its own channel
Every public broadcaster in The Netherlands has a political or philosophical pillarisation. Only the Tros was created just for entertainment. The more paying members take a subscription to a channel and their paper-magazine, the more broadcast time they are allowed on one or more of the three Dutch public channels. And a-, b-, or c-status. Commercials were broadcasted only in between shows. Separately private commercial tv started in the end of the eighties.
All the broadcasters share three channels
Next. RTL4 idents
Next do spacetoon bumpers
Also i wanted to say, "iets" is pronounced like in english "it's".
these were so odd lol
the lips kind of remind me of Rocky Horror.
all i can say is... Weird
Er is iets mis
Premiere bois
Even I spelt it incorrectly
Yup, noticed XD
2trippy4me
Since you are doing international idents, you should do the Spacetoon planets idents from 2013. Here's a video: th-cam.com/video/pFzG-pmHj9w/w-d-xo.html
Do Serbian idents 🇷🇸
The idents are nice. Your comment track is annoying.
13:22 as a Dutch speaking person myself I think this "error" is just a technical difficulty card and there's nothing more than that. I'm not sure about the weird video effect maybe it's there to look cool or it could be some video gliching out.
