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.

I love Channel 4 for showing these well-edited, in-between progamme exerts, they always make me smile. It is good fun initialy guessing what they are all talking about, but this one in particular is fantastic. So nice to see celebs swearing, it appears as though all the TV actors actually enjoyed the interviews with Channel 4, when they must get so many boring questions asked. Well done again, enjoy this, Janel is by far the best, wow!

Does anyone have any other ads in this series that they could transcribe? I am putting together a fansite for the actor Richard Schiff (the guy that says 'cocksucking motherfucker') and if I could have a list of his answers it would be cool. Any help appreciated.

You're trying to remember the name of Parminder Nagra from Bend It Like Beckham and ER :)
Meghan · 23 November, 2005 at 18:44
#28 is (don't know her name) Janice from the Sapranos.
Steph · 24 November, 2005 at 02:08
Yeah, I knew she was in BILB, but I assumed ER was the show she was supposed to be representing on this.
Rachel Bilson - my mistake. I am an OC fan, so excuse some of the typos. I must admit the list was written at night and I didnt check it.
Dan.d aka scrambled eggs · 10 December, 2005 at 19:10
Kelly Douchbag is not swearing im surprised you couldnt of think of a better swear word looking at your background.
Mr Twain · 23 December, 2005 at 21:31
21 is psychological illusionist Derren Brown - I love the fact that they've stuck him in a launderette.
