Is it a rip-off of "It's In the Bag"?*
 
In which ordinary* contestants are offered increasing amounts of cash and/or prizes, against choosing a mystery prize?

(hence, "What'll it be, Wanganui*? THE MONEY OR THE BAG?")

* ancient NZ radio, later TV, show.
* mongs
* originally recorded as a touring show round small towns

I'm sure there's
some elements of that involved. Mostly it's Noel Edmonds running around insulting contestants children and
asking girls "what's in your box"?

it's not bad. It's just based completely on luck, but still oddly enjoyable

The idea of Deal or No Deal
is to turn down every amount of money, and walk away with the box you had infront of you the whole time.
