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.
