It's extremely safe for work if you have headphones on.

i kind of quite like all the other ads in this series too, but this is nice. a world where Judy Finnegan says fuck is a lovely place to be.

I took me a while to figure out "See you next Tuesday".

cool - what's FCC?

Federal Communications Commission, they regulate telephone, television, radio in the US. If you say the dirty words on air, they come after you.

Doesn't John Landis manage to get that phrase into every one of his films? And doesn't it appear in 2001 (maybe innocently, maybe not)?

Yay Scrubs guy!

Lovely! I especially like

-Iain Lee describing himself
-David Starkey's is 'phooey'
-that lovely lady declaring 'i like cunt'
-Richard Whitely still treasures the Fry and Laurie sketch from years ago with 'sloblocks'
-Avid Merrion cover up or go to the gym. no cover up
-still he's right about Kelly Osbourne 'douchebag!'
-the girl from 'Six Feet Under' just got hotter. I should watch it.

That lovely lady referred to above is Janel Moloney (Donna Moss from the West Wing).

omg that was the best ad EVER. Scrubs guy is hilarious, his expression is grate. Wish the ABC'd do ads like this.

Has this one gone to air?

It's a cinema ad.

Its also on Film 4 late.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 19 March 2004 11:59 (twenty-two years ago)

it'd be funny if they showed it before, like, shrek II or something, by mistake.

Tee hee. My work computer doesn't have a sound card or owt, but since most of the concerned folk have nice open diction, my poor lipreading skills are more or less adequate. They all have really cheeky expressions, like naughty schoolchildren. Apart from the Osbourne brats, who have the cold dead eyes of junior sharks.
