It’s freaking hilarious, too.

[Watch it online here](http://www.channel4.com/ads/index1.html).

“See you next Tuesday?” Heh heh.

I love Anthony La Paglia and Marianne Jean-Baptiste’s contributions. “I love swearing.” “_Wankaaah!_ It’s said jus’ like that!” Class.

Excellent stuff.

Although it took a while for my brain to click into gear and recognise a couple of them. (I did. Eventually)

Wonder when (if) this will get shown on TV?

From the [url=“[http://www.ofcom.gov.uk](http://www.ofcom.gov.uk)”]Ofcom\* website. The BSC guidlines on swearing.

…well I was going to quote them, but they’re pretty usless. (unspecific)

I shall look forward too seeing this on television 🙂

That? Is the funniest god damn thing I have seen in FOREVER. Richard Schiff saying “cocksucking motherfucker” is award-winning stuff.

I’ve figured out how to improve _West Wing_ ratings. Let them start swearing. I’ll be waiting for my check Mr. Sorkin.

That was hilarious. 😃
