Crunch Uses Couch Potatoes to Inspire Gym Attendance

In general gym ads tend to be pretty weird and there’s a good reason why – inviting your target to do a bit of self-demeaning self-reflection can be tricky and requires a light touch, like a pickpocket or a safe-cracker.

Crunch ads are no different. They feature a series of conversations between unstudly spuds whose punchline is the campaign slogan: “Don’t be a potato.” Catch another variation here.

It made us laugh but needless to say we didn’t extract our asses from these chairs. And really, who needs to when there’s Wii in the world? – Contributed by Angela Natividad
