“Nothing burns calories like fear,” British actor and sportsman Vinnie Jones says in the latest Funny Or Die spoof for weight loss programs. The intimidating star, who is a constant presence in British gangster movies, has agreed to team up with FOD for a video that has him as a fitness trainer that vouches to scare the pounds away off those interested in getting in shape.

Attack Cardio works better than all other weight loss programs for the very reason mentioned at the beginning. By agreeing to take part in the program, Vinnie Jones himself can promise he will not stop harassing and running after those interested until they are in the shape they desire. Bruising and broken limbs may occur at one point during the program, as the video also shows.

As fans will know, Funny Or Die usually makes a habit of spoofing the most popular trends, whether they be in films or in terms of lifestyle choices. Weight loss programs that offer amazing results without the least amount of effort are extremely popular with slimmers, which is where the Attack Cardio comes in: unlike these other systems, this one does imply some effort to run from a raging Vinnie Jones coming to show just why he’s considered so intimidating to start with.

As we also reported a while ago, this is not the first time FOD does something in terms of weight loss. Nicole Eggert, once known for her banging looks in the trademark “Baywatch” swimsuit, where she played Summer Quinn, has taken a lot of flack throughout the years for her oscillating weight and, in October, she finally found a way to hit back at critics with a FOD spoof called “Real Women Gain Weight.”

In it, the star was seen in her old swimsuit again, although she retained little of the model-like figure of back then. When two men pretending to be drowning see that she’s not as thin as they expected her to be, they tell her they weren’t really drowning. So, when they do that in the end, Eggert finally gets her revenge by simply turning her back on them and walking away.

As fun as that video was, this one with Vinnie Jones is even more hilarious, even only for the reason that it’s something we wouldn’t normally expect to see him in. The video is below. Enjoy.
