Iggy pop hams it up for Swiftcover with 'Little Iggy'

[lostaglio6666]

that guy didnt make any money for a very long time and a lot of bands that were influenced by him made lots of money so what if makes some stupid commercial . he's 65 years old for christ sake he's allways going to be the guy that walked on the crowd and rubbed peanut butter on his chest or cut himself onstage and sang cock in my pocket

[hawwy1987]

I thought it was Jennifer Anniston. My bad!

[Applebellytv]

This commercial would be better if he ran over that ugly thing.

[xXLazarus23Xx]

he's just another whore now...

[Reesj321]

wouldnt it be ironik if the puppet started singing "i am the passenger, and i ride and i ride and i ride".

[andremchenry]

I think the question of whether he is a sellout can be answered by another question: 'Is this a new creative direction?' If the answer is no, then the man is selling out.

[Phoebelol1]

God I hate these adverts ^_^

[TheScottrocks9]

What ever Iggy does is hilarious. He can do whatever he wants, he's cool.

[djgraememaclean]

@TheScottrocks9 I'm sorry but I have to agree with Bill Hicks on this one, if your an artist with lots of money and you do a TV ad your off the artistic roll call FOREVER! If your struggling for cash then fair enough but I don't think Iggy was in that position. He's just another money hungry corporate slut in leather pants sucking on Satan's cock and every word which comes out of his mouth now is like a turd falling into my drink.

[andremchenry]

@djgraememaclean you sir, are a poet...lol

[akatsukidaybreakzero]

i know iggy is a fucking sellout but these adverts are great but FUCK YOU for selling out your just another jonny rotten

[SCrewedEntertainment]

@akatsukidaybreakzero Dude he hasnt sold out, Selling out is making the record your told to make instead of the one you want to make, Your not a fucking retard are you ?

[giggie]

fuck it , let him make some cash ... he's the greatest ... the puppet i mean, iggy too i guess , he never got the kinda money like bieber or tyler .

[posuerbuster]

BLAH BLAH BLAH

BUSTED!

[Zebonka]

The Mild One.

[TheHoleBag]

i wouldn't really call it selling out... Firstly, he's not a new artist who is cashing in on his rising popularity. Had he done something like this in the 70's then it could be "selling out". Also, he's not betraying his musical artistry (but maybe his imagery)to sell records/make money. He probably just need the money, it still is kinda sad that he has to do this

[ttraynor1]

Cash in Iggy! You deserve it. The whole world practically missed your meteor when it flashed by in 1970's. People who say "sell-out" are poor and frustrated with their lives.

[thejesman]

People who think this is a big deal seriously need to chill out. "Sellout" is one of those words that've been abused so much that no one knows what the hell it means anymore. It's just a word that cool people use to sound cool.

Iggy's songs are practically my life story. His music means more to me than almost any other. I'm not going to stop loving him just cause of this silly thing.

[psychotropicgrove]

Everytime this is on TV I just think has the man got no dignity-it's beyond awful , Imagine what Bill Hicks would say

"do an advert, and you're off the artistic roll-call forever....

you're just another corporate shill - another whore at the capitalist gang-bang -

every word you say is suspect, every word you say can be bought..... and every word out of your mouth is like a turd falling into my drink "

[alSation81]

fuck that puppet scared the shit out of me!

[deathtotheism]

I would rather Iggy be in the commercials than Justin Beiber.

[shamblesthatisbaby]

Easy to say someones sold out, If someone offered you £100,000 for an advert I don't think it's as clear cut if the shoe was on the other foot. The people who moan about selling out the most always see to be ones who will never be in the position to sell out in the first place.

Also, no-one truly knows how much money people in rock actually make, probably not as much as people think.

Personally I respect him for doing whatever he wants regardless of what the mainstream OR the punks think.

[DoTheHustle27]

Why does Iggy need car insurance? He's the passenger!

[greendayrocksmuch]

at least this is cooler than John Lydon's Buttah! Commercial XD!

[Jamiethewookie]

James Newell Osterberg, Jr you used to be cool. I've seen you twice in concert. I love every piece of music you have ever released. BUT NOW I just cringe when I see these stupid fucking Swiftcover advertisments you insist on doing. GRRRRR!

[BaronVonPenguin]

I'm not here to whinge at Iggy for selling out, I'd sell anything for shitloads of money myself. The problem I have with this ad is that its unbelievably fucking shit. If I was a rock star with a modicum of respect and I said yes to appearing in a commercial then I'd at least want it to have some sort of quality be that comedy or otherwise. Like Jello Biafra doing one for McDonalds or Udo Kier selling Pampers.

[18Turbo220]

You can't get a quote in 60 seconds, I timed it and it was more like 285 seconds, you lie.

[pindrops1]

he is lust for swiftcover, dunno bout life

[ZeikTuvai]

Gotta love all the internet armchair anarchists whining at Iggy Pop for "selling out" as if he somehow owes them shit.

I'm sure Iggy will be thinking of you all when he's counting his piles of money and you're still living with your parents at the age of 40 because PROPERTY IS THEFT.

[heebyjeebus]

@ZeikTuvai Yeah, how dare all those people whose support, both pecuniary and philosophical, gave fame and fortune to guys like Iggy be affronted by him acting as a corporate shill to sell car insurance...the cheek of it.

Besides, I don't think the argument is about him owing his fans anything. I think most of his fans feel that he let HIMSELF down..nice footnote to a career of being 'punk'. The best legends die young, I guess, or at least before they have to worry about their health plan.

[plethora77]

well that was 31 seconds I'll never get back.

[CrHickey25]

Everyone has a price I guess.

[heebyjeebus]

Sell out much?

"Do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call, every word you say is suspect, you're a corporate whore and eh, end of story."

Bill Hicks

[murray1234567891011]

@heebyjeebus was just coming on to say that well done lol

[Thomasinoke]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!

[deekosweb]

what's the tune???

[meatisdeliciouse]

I love these adverts

[posthumous5]

The only reason you should be doing an ad like this is if you plan to give every penny you get from it to a worthy cause. Please tell us thats what you're doing Monsieur Pop.

[greenday1347]

hahaha golf sucks man!! that was hilarious

[mlkmanswfestits]

wtf is this

[bilbobagins1951]

two mad men in a car your need insurance plenty of it

[Zebonka]

He used to be a wild one .....

Now he's a mild one.

[Deltobbi]

easily the most annoying advert on TV

[eclectica1]

@Deltobbi What, even more than the GoCompare one?

[Deltobbi]

@eclectica1 yes...

Can't stand the puppet in this. The Go Campare adfvert I at least find a little funny cause the guy reminds me of Rafa Benitez

[Vasdefrens1]

Shame on you Alice Cooper

[RodC80]

Now Iggy's Swiftcover's dog.

[TrppyTV]

fuk yaaaaaaaaaaa

[Randumbposter]

I was thinking about playing a little golf

[bluefinz27]

Why does Iggy get such a bad rap?

I think he's just misunderstood - LMAOF

[HankJwimbleton876]

As TERRIFYING as that puppet is, I'd still rather see him in my nightmares then that godawful GO COMPAAAAARE! Singing wanker.

[wiganjoe]

wayne roberts and his adopted dad,smudger,,,

[surreyborn]

Check out the other ad too - search for 'swiftcover drive' - absolutely hillarious!

[dyfrigjones]

If he was that desperate for money, why didn't he become a rent boy? It would be less demeaning.

[thegoldenarmkid]

which ones the puppet

[Terrystearsatlfc]

@thegoldenarmkid Thats what I keep wondering.

[olanzip]

Iggy pop is soo funny. He really makes me laugh.

[cannonballfroggy]

i love iggy pop and his lust for life insurance xD

[GENIUS73972]

hahaha

[dharmashooter]

Who cares anymore?

[bargeofshame]

Oh yeah! He's Iggy and we're not. I love the little pricks who act like punk is a sacred cow. Lighten F#@king up little dudes.

[theonlytruepunk]

What...should he go get a job at a factory at his age? Fuck no. You go Iggy...you deserve all the money you can get.

[punkbabydoll77]

i will always love iggy...

[LuminoFirewarrior]

IGGY!!!

LITTLE IGGY!!!

FUCKIN' A!!!

[Prodrive1981]

I respect Iggy Pop more now as an artist.

[McDjB1]

to be honest, I like these adverts. At least it's Iggy and not some dumb fuck I haven't heard of.

[piplup2009]

little iggy is creepy

i was like 0_0 wtf

[madcarl666]

:-) fantsatic lmao

[AndrewJimScott]

Are you sure?

[PollyHarrison]

GET RID OF THIS ADVERT!!!!!!!!!!!

[kimberlyvess]

Little Iggy scared the crap out of me, I wasn't expecting it lol..

[SAclammy]

i think it's time for your nap grandpa

[iminlovenow12345]

lmao

[AbstractMindset]

FUCK YEAH! IGGY POP!

[JWcolour]

I hope he made a fair amount of cash for this.

[scottanias]

That's the creepiest fucking puppet in the history of the world.

[AchromaticAdulation]

Never thought he would sell out.

[Marinkorpse]

Shit! Awful Iggy sold out. Guess there are no more rock heroes alive.

[McDjB1]

@Marinkorpse what about Bowie or Jagger?

[Marinkorpse]

@ McDjB1, IMHO Jagger sold out a looong time ago and Bowie is God of Pop.

[kittykgirl]

That Old Jew really has to hang up the rock life and just OD or something.

[neo11211]

Give's me the willies this ad

[cpnstav]

has to be one of the crappest adverts on tv certainly wont make me go to swift cover

[mediocrityapplauded]

If Jennifer Aniston had one of those calcified corpse twins living inside her, it would be that.

[therocklabels]

nothing special

[WeeMan08]

ok?

[darrenedwardparke]

I can't remember Jaguar ever releasing the XJS facelift (Or pre facelift) in that horrifying colour, therefore I shall assume that Swift had the car painted that colour themselves.

So, not only have they made a terrifying advert that will scare the crap out of kids, they've also wrecked a nice piece of British Muscle.

Top marks Swiftcover!!!

[ChainsawerOne]

I'm disgusted by this. Congratulations on the sh_test ad of the decade - you eon't be topped, I'm sure. Tw_ts.

[trainhitsboy]

Truly dreadful on so many levels.

[Purejedi93]

Iggy, what the f*ck are you playing at? F*cking let down.

[skawashers]

its no worse than John Lydon doing butter adverts GOD SAVE THE CREAM  aint it John

Lemmy in kit kat adverts Ozzy Osbourne in God knows how many adverts, If the cash is right they all fucking sell out

[paulminnelli]

pop o tunie!

[zomgitswash]

Can't. Stop. Shaking.

This is horrifying!

[LithiumJasper]

So creepy. Ew.
