Channel Four have slipped out a Flash movie advert which ... well, it's basically people who are on, or have been on programmes on Channel Four, such as The West Wing, ER, Big Brother, yadda yadda ... and they're swearing. A lot. I've no idea where it came from, but it's certainly starting to gather moss. Watch it below.

Sarah Chalke's sultry "merde" is verrry nice, but the cracker has to be Janel Maloney saying "I like c**t". Sigh.

Here you go:
17. Naomi Cleaver (presents one of those bourgeois property-porn programmes; only one whose identity I'm not completely sure of - ugh, ending sentence in a preposition)
24. Mathew St. Patrick (Six Feet Under)
25. Iain Lee (alleged comedian; The 11 O'Clock Show and RI:SE)
27. Sarah Beeny (Property Ladder and non-threatening, big-titted bourgeois wank-fantasy)
41. Rory Bremner (exceptional impressionist and alleged satirist; Bremner, Bird and Fortune)
42. Peter Oborne (journo -political editor of The Spectator- author, opiner; Why Politicians Can't Tell The Truth [as opposed to journalists, eh Peter?]
54. Niall Ferguson (historian, author, a Scot, and the thinking woman's crumpet - a sort of younger, fuckable Joan Bakewell, if you will; Empire, American Colussus)
Steph · 31 January, 2006 at 02:49
17. Naomi Cleaver is from Honey I Ruined the House

Derren Brown should be credited as from "Mind Control", not "Mind Games"
Emily · 29 April, 2006 at 18:28
Bradly Whitford is fantastic
Christine · 3 May, 2006 at 04:12
Oh, this is only the most brilliant video ever. I just wish we could download it, because that link posted two years ago to the cache'd one doesn't quite work anymore.
Graham · 3 May, 2006 at 18:30
Has anyone any idea where the other ads from this series are, the only other one I found is "Age you lost your virginity"
Melissa · 19 May, 2006 at 21:51
Bradley Whitford is so cute when he swears.
...well, he's cute all the time, but you know..
Prillo · 19 June, 2006 at 08:52
Ah, I see I am a rather late discoverer! Nevermind, it still rocks my socks.
Any chance you could reactivate the link for the clip? I've been lookin' all over, trying to download it, but I just can't find anything, except your link, which doesn't work. D'oh!

parminder nagras roughly translates to: Bastard dog
Daz · 13 May, 2007 at 18:11
I liked when they asked the celebrities what was their 1st record they bought.
Does anyone know what Marcia Cross' was (Bree from Desperate Housewives)?
I'd LOVE to know. Thank-you.

How sad the open howl of an audience branded by televisual lobotomy.
How sad the hankering pangs of the porn hungry.
How bad the voyeurs decent to celebricity.
How strong the arguments brought about by the ultra-intelligent loafers in defense of the truly stupid content of 89% of broadcasting.
How deluded the internet swingset.
Carry on.
best wishes...
Elena · 2 October, 2008 at 18:08
I think the fourth one is Danny Pino (Cold Case). Or... maybe I was counting wrong. But he's in there, it looks like!
