‘Please tell me that is not your penis!’ New Zealand’s Shortland Street in 14 key moments
Country’s longest-running soap opera marks 30 years on air this week. Here we celebrate some of its most infamous scenes
It’s the scene that tackled the issue of sexting and made waves all the way to Jimmy Kimmel in the US, who spoofed it on his talk show, with Alec Baldwin parodying Dr Chris Warner. Warner confronts his son Harry, whose phone is synced to the family tablet. A red-faced, puffed-up Warner barks incredulously, “Please tell me that is not your penis!” just as the cliffhanger drumbeat from the closing credits dramatically kicks in.
