It looks like this is for an English insurance company (I noticed the “Not Available in N. Ireland disclaimer; the Undertones are out of luck). Doesn’t the Igster live in the US?
Yeah, I think he lives in Miami. Judging by the still frame on that YouTube clip I thought I was going to learn he’d made an appearance in The Wrestler. This ad reminds me of those investment company ads with Dennis Hopper: guy who lived on the edge and survived it – with his EGDE INTACT, MANNNNNN – wants you to follow his example for a safe and secure retirement.
Yeah mannnnn, car insurance is so anarchistic. Up next, Iggy downs some “ensure” to give him the energy to rub himself in peanut butter (w/ Salmonella)
Fuck’s sake…here I thought RTH was the one place where people were smart enough not to pull out the “commercials are SELLOUTS, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan” bullshit. Grow up, you stupid cunts.

Yeah, if only Lennon was still alive, maybe he could hawk diapers singing “All You Need Is Luvs”, and we could just give up the ball and head for home.
Come on, Stewkey — don’t be a dick. Surely you can see the particular awfulness of Iggy shilling for an *insurance company*. And spouting really inane, extremely uncool one-liners, obviously written by people who want him to bring rockin’ cred to their extremely unrockin’ product.
I’m the *last* person in the world to have issues with the selling of music to sponsors, but this spot is just stupid, and Iggy should be embarassed.

As bad as this ad is, it is still better than the last Stooges record.

It’s time.
I love The Smiths, so it sounds like Meat Is Murder belongs in the bin.
Sad…..
I hope they paid him veryy well
PS – I advise against buying car insurance without wearing a shirt

I have no problem with Iggy doing ads. With rare exceptions, he’s sucked for 35 years. I should hold him to higher standards than Seger?
