Swiftcover Iggy Pop Commercial

[MichaelHansenFUN]

i dont remember this

[unwantedopinion]

This makes me so sad in so many ways.

[dxkuk]

Can I save on insurance by purchasing a "Mini Global GPS Tracker with GPRS connection from amazon"?

[thermotheo]

hate to say it, but swift cover is shit. no one to actually shout at, internet price one thing, reality quite another

[hotelchelsearesident]

i feel bad about saying this but its better when punk stars die young... rather than aging and having to resort too this

[skylarking19]

Punks usually are the biggest sellouts, despite always talking the talk more than artists of any other musical genre. Iggy "Smash the system, but make sure you're covered for the damage costs incurred" Pop, John 'Discovery Channel' Lydon and Alexei "was a communist, but will voice over any ad you want for cash" Sayle are three of the most annoying ones.

As much as punk changed music, it's mostly just NME-approved posturing. The much maligned prog acts had/have way more integrity and balls.

[TheCoreyManifesto]

Everybody hates jayjay999888

[seanbl1]

fucking has been doing ads... fucking sell out cunt!!

[ragingflamerboy]

@seanbl1 Unless you're a starving artist, you're a sell out too.. I'm sure you just sold out for far less. Perhaps minimum wage.

[seanbl1]

@ragingflamerboy: I work for myself mate... If you are successful already and rich which this idiot is you don't need the money or do sellout ad's like this. Iggy Pop portrayed an image of anti establishment. Bill Hicks the comedian put it it better "Suckers of Satan's Cocks".

Maybe you sell your arse cheap and I'd say you do...

[ragingflamerboy]

@seanbl1 so what's your going rate per hour? Unless you work for free then?

And of course I sell my ass cheap. I sell it enough to pay for the mortgage and all my wants and needs.

And you do too. You just said you work for yourself.

[seanbl1]

@ragingflamerboy: Sorry mate your profile of me is way off the mark. I don't have a mortgage as I built my own house a few years ago. I don't portray myself as something and then do something else like this fucking sellout.

I was talking about someone who is already rich and doesn't need to sell Car Insurance like this fool. If you don't get what I'm driving at like some of the others who have posted similar responses then live in ignorance.

[121avp]

they are good looking ads.  he is too still. he needs to make some money. they are also funny. punk rock means freedom. i am amazed at how many people think he's ugly - i think he's the bollocks. he's the grandfather of punk - learn something.

[jasperisneat]

he's just making more money i would do the same thing

[jayjay999888]

fucking old man this is sick and wrong that fucking molesting twat

[121avp]

@jayjay999888 idiot-look at what he's done

[121avp]

@jayjay999888 you're an idiot-take a look at what he's done - look him up

[sheena742]

ha ha nice!!!

[MysticReverie]

@RedxRainbow u really think iggy is the least cool rockstar? lol

he can do wat he wants.. makes no diff iggy is iggy.

he coudl sell his excrement on ebay .. and he'd still be iggy

[tubbythug92]

Iggy Pop can do whatever the hell he wants. If he wants to fart in your dinner,he has the right to.

[tempelton]

"Rebel for sale - get your rebel for sale right here!"

[Ahlycks]

*puke*

[bilbobagins1951]

they call it car  insurance iggy pop calls it a pension plan

[DauntlessEagle1]

Can anyone tell me if Swift Cover is good ? My insurance is renewing and currently with Direct Line, which yes they are very good but are getting expensive for me.

[yawateg]

Sell out wanker. Pathetic

[PyneappleExpress]

iggy pop invented punk rock, he can do whatever the fuck he wants

[Theprettything]

Anyone who calls Iggy a sell out can SUCK IT!! So he did a silly commercial? So what?! If you let one commercial turn you away from him and his music you were a sucky fan to begin with and no one wants you!

[jayjay999888]

@Theprettything I NEVER FUCKING LISTENED TO SHIGGY DIGGY BIGGY WIGGY POP LOCK COCK ANYWAY

[rureethelion]

i get the kind of destructive, raw power, energy of punk from these adverts, but who we get to symbolise that?............*ding!*.GET ME IGGY POP!!!

[HardAsARock222]

this is like the best fucking commercial I've ever seen....Iggy is the man!!!!

[MrNiceHk]

You are fucking shitting me ... mUSIC THESE DAYS SUCK .. FUCKING DISNEY MOVIE MAKING OVER PRODUCED DOUCHEBAGS

[zipzopj]

"The customer services operator told me they don't insure musicians. When I mentioned Iggy Pop, she said his case was different because he is American."

[zipzopj]

turns out Swiftcover refuses to insure musicians, thats funny

[Sandcat87]

I wonder why Swiftcover thought it would be a good idea to use Iggy Pop for their ads. I mean obviously Iggy makes money, so it suits him. But nobody that sees this will EVER buy Swiftcover insurance because of what they've done to him. So bizarre. Terrible marketing strategy...

[moosey62]

Iggy plays GOLF!

[v1m]

Look, no disrespect to Iggy for all the great music he's made, but...

If he's going to wiggle his grandpa tits for a fucking car insurance scheme, can't he at least cover up? I just ate, for chrissakes.

[rureethelion]

@v1m grandpa tits is a phrase i shall be implimenting into everyday life at any given opputunity now, i thank you

[orionasmb]

Sell out...

[Bolinas1971]

there are no excuses, $iggy$

[MolkoxLewd]

goddamn, they put an anarchy sign on 'get A life'

now that was just an unnecessary intrusion!

[lekoos]

Iggy had these guys stop airing this commercial - since Swiftcover does not insure musicians. So he's not covered. Go figure.

[wasserfal]

i wont insurance my car to a company that uses iggy pop, he always trashes avery thing

but his music is great

[liverpool58cj]

the dude on there is alain roberts thhuman spider

[MarsHottentot]

Hey, Meds Ain't Cheap.

[positivetrue]

Oh Iggy... :(

[xlmatt]

say it ain't so iggy!

[SplitPotPete]

I wonder what all the haters imagine Iggy would achieve by not doing this ad... same goes for John Lydon's butter ad (with the added absurdity that Lydon was a millionaire property dealer long before he did that).

[EvanConover]

This commercial is successful because of the 12 complaints it received from viewers. Iggy offends and wins again!!!

[satchelllucy]

i never noticed it was him befer

[genesisdd]

And about the money of couse..just look at some of his old interviews. So i don't get why people are so dissapointed of him, like it's something unexpected.

[genesisdd]

I can't believe all the bitching going on about this ad! Honestly, I myself cant think of anything more punk than selling out when every whining fan of yours believe in you. Iggy was always about contradicting and outraging people.

[rureethelion]

@genesisdd i agree with you there but at the same time i wish he didnt do it...woe is me

[niknau2]

shit 1 star

[taxmonkey123]

Why the fuck are people calling him punk? The Stooges was a garage rock band, not a punk band.

[1ex1uger]

As if Iggy Pop agreeing to do this commercial wasn't bad enough, the company had the nerve to appropriate the anarchy symbol.

[werobanks]

awesome dance moves!

[lulz666f]

Iggy's been selling his soul for a while. First it was to his Id. Then it was to his growing drug addiction. Then it was to his ever-growing insanity, and now it it is to the big corporations. Dude's been a wolf. When not howling into the void, he's out and about getting his meat.

[Sarahbelivwithus]

iv gota do english coursework on this, yuck

[DemoraX]

I HATE THESE ADS!

theres something about a topless 50 yr old with skin that looks like leather, that puts me off my food...

[juntao1919]

When I saw Iggy back in 2002; I touched his arm as he came down to the crowd... His skin feels like exactly like rubber gloves.

I wish I hadn't reached out... The thought still creeps me out to this day...

[Johnybway]

this comapny is a fraud, they took £365, 3 months later and said the reason was bcoz u never sent ur no claims bonus to us. the funny thing is when ur insurance finishes with them, they dont send u a ncb either lol and yet they will chase u to hell for them. they take extra money ontop the qoute they give and say its vat etc.....the most problamatic insurance i have ever had...my mate is still waiting for his money after a crash and its been 5 months...is this company for real?????

[PabzGLRP]

Damn, he must have been desperate to get this role as the image of a car insurance company, he can't even afford a shirt to cover up his gilded ribcage!

[LiesLikeKnives]

This must be a sick joke by Iggy.

Car insurance is a criminal industry legitimised by bigger criminals. Its illegal to not have car insurance and they raise your premium if you claim!! Its one huge gang fuck.

Why, why would anyone want to be the face of these rapists!?!

[b0b1919]

And also, this company don't even offer Insurance to entertainers

[AllOtherNamesTaken]

Uh, you're comparing having to pay for insurance to rape? Just wanted to clarify.

[LiesLikeKnives]

Yes I am.

[AllOtherNamesTaken]

You must have a very strange way of paying your premiums.

[hettbeans]

@LiesLikeKnives Yeah, nothing like getting hit by an uninsured black kid and getting screwed out of my repair costs.

[yuame]

@LiesLikeKnives Money. He's as same as us, mate. Can you live without money.?

As a longtime punk and fan of Iggy(+the Stooges), I have no sad feeling about this whole advert thing. I rather find it funny. He's still doing good music, good live. So what's the matter.?

[JesusIzAPunkRocker]

Haha the anarchy emblem in the "get a life" at the end of the commercial is ironic. wtf. Iggy is the godfather. Bless him. idc if he did this. he has lived hard enough to b ten staunch punks. he can do whatever he wants. he is a legend now

[fruityfruit7]

i luv iggy pop hes the best out of every celebrity apart from micheal jackson hes no. 1 i hav his song man in the mirror

[CandidateZero]

Part of being punk is: 1) not giving a fuck 2) spiting the expectations placed upon you.

In this case, he was spiting the expectations of all those who put him on this pedestal he probably didn't even consider himself on in the first place.

Not really defending the man (maybe he is a soulless sellout, etc), but I don't think he ever really had the principles people are ascribing to him here to begin with.

The people crying about this are taking Iggy Pop, themselves and life too seriously.

[eltubster14]

Candidate you're dead right! Forget the moral nonsense, this advert makes me laugh my bollocks off!

[Droyd21]

Iggy openly admitted he went for the big bucks here, just check his recent preliminaires interview. Technically it does make him a sellout not that i care

[DarkSoool]

Perhaps you think that life's a joke and it's all about money babe.

Hahaha a capitalist punk, that is one big contradiction sir, and if you think that's beign punk, then congratulations, you bought the speech of the sellouts.

[KurtCobainof21]

fuck what punk is all about man. Think about what life is all about. Its about not being stupid. Its about doin what makes ya happy. Money can buy things that make you happy. Rule of life

[elhepp]

shut up

[KurtCobainof21]

Its true mate, believe me, you'll realise it soon one day when you get out of your punk fantasy studio

[MolkoxLewd]

@KurtCobainof21

no...wait...money isn't supposed to make you happy. that's what the capitalists want you to believe. punk rock will make you happy.

[adeebkasem]

@MolkoxLewd there is no punk rock anymore. evidence: this commercial.

[MolkoxLewd]

@adeebkasem

exactly. that's why everyone's pissed and nostalgic. the world sucks!

[jayjay999888]

@MolkoxLewd it has been seven months since you wrote this.

MONEY . DOES. MAKE . YOU . HAPPY.

[MolkoxLewd]

@jayjay999888

You're right. I sold my drumset for seven hundred bucks and I'm happier spending it on cigarettes and guitars than I was playing the drums...christ that's quite good actually...

[jayjay999888]

@MolkoxLewd true true. i sold all my ps3 games and even my clothes for weed :/

[dingaling24]

why is everyone getting so butthurt just because iggy did an ad for insurance. he's iggy pop, the grandfather of punk! he can do whatever the fuck he wants! you guys are getting anti-establishment confused with anti-conformity, which is the REAL meaning of punk. punk is about doing whatever you want and not giving a damn about what others have to say. if you ask me, doing an ad to prove how little people know is the most punk thing you can do.

[kapowHA]

Urghhh...i hate it when they get so desperate they'll do anything.. i mean iggy pop doing insurance adverts..Sex Pistols on a butter advert?

[TorryFinley]

Pretty weak, but it's still Iggy.

[pedalla]

so many rock bands and artist have sold themselves.. i don't see what seems to be the problem here.

commercial is idiotic, and he plays a good role... but if he appears in some serious commercial where he doesn't act like idiot, would that mean he didn't sold his soul... NO

if any rock star get a few bucks for appearance, he sold himself.. and i don't know any band that was just making money out of their music

r'n'r is dead, so let this people do for living what they want and leave them alone

[rockyoreilly100]

he was shite when he was young, sad the things faded alleged stars do for dosh

[ogfunk187]

Sold your soul to the devil.

[doctorwhoone]

Why doesint he get a life instead of telling us to get the a life ? atleast we who watch the stupid Advert's with him on actually have one ! .

Actually , im amazed these Advert's are still being shown on TV , i saw one about an Hour or two ago , and yesterday as well . Im surprised that if People are making complaints about the whole " Get a Life " thing which many of us find irritating and offensive in some way , then the complaints are probably being ignored . . . . pathetic ! . . . .

[musicman02]

in this case i think Iggy was unappreciated and poor enough for us to grant him some spending money.

forgive him, as a gift for all those years he toiled on the edge of a punk razor making such classic cuts for you.

[cmart391]

what a fucking faggot.

[snowpatrol7777777]

Iggy pop doing insurance adverts?

If i wanted to see a half naked man in his 60s prance about and talk shite, i'd go see my uncle.

[handofgods]

WTF. This is so gay.

[llowrida]

shut up purple man

[charlottediscordian]

radgejihadi is SO right!!!!

WTF!!!!! i'd expect literally EVERYBODY BUT IGGY, man!!!!!!! THAT hurts.

:'(((((

IGGY, MAN!!! WTF ARE YOU DOING???? DOES GETTING OLD NECESSARILY MEAN GETTING IDIOTIC????

[ShayShamefaced]

It's not like he has a degree and can do a 9-5. The man has bills to pay.

[SJDurrant]

That's true.

I guess making a new album or doing a tour is too much like hard work.

[BlackpoolBhoy]

Cringeworthy, I'm not even a big Iggy fan, but I know theres something revolting about him lowering himself to this level :(

[emily02]

To past generations he will be known as a punk icon, but to the present generation he will be known as that annoying insurance sales man.

[WhiteBoy41]

IgGy Paid his dues.

Leave him the f*ck alone.

And go suck David Crasby's fat tit..

[moshimoshi77]

so tired of this ad

it's driving me insane.

[thegoldenarmkid]

Put a shirt on you repulse me. Swifly cover your revolting saggy body.

[cryptsub]

I don't care about punk cliches about "selling out", this ad fuckin sucks.

[geffel]

did I hear the phrase 'sell out'? Over and over again for the duration of this ad.

Iggy - what a rebel...

[FrostbiteUK]

Nooooooooooo Iggy, WTF are you doing?

[LittleMsAnarchist666]

Iggy is the sexiest motherfucker ALIVE!! Oh the things I would do to this man if I had just one night with him!! The fact that his body looks like that at 62 years old is such a turn on...seriously, compare it to other men his age and you'll see what I mean. Iggy is a god and he can do whatever the fuck he wants whether it includes insurance commercials or not!!

[NickBor]

so fucking ANNOYING, worst ad on tv atm

[Condemned184]

i want to chuck a goddamn brick at the t.v. when this advert comes on

[MechanicalSelection]

how the mighty HAVE fallen

[profuselykase]

yup. same as lydon.

people i used to admire have become media whores.

it's shameful.

i'll go with strummer anytime, he MEANT it, but c.b.s./arbiter have 'complete control' even now.

[whitestripebuzz]

igg pop can do what ever the fuck igg pop wants. thats how rock n roll he is.

[SweetToothAnnie]

agree w/ whitestripebuzz! let the man do what the fuck he wants. he won't care anyways, no matter what people say, hah. he's mr. pop, goddammit

[Egurenkone]

John Lydon did the same with that butter ad. I guess they're just sick of people seeing them as some kind of "integrity models" or whatever.

[Boid55]

Not really, it's just rockstars that were never actually that great losing their money so they have to flog stuff.

[littlejoeyjewel]

No, iggy pop's perfectly great, he just never actually made to much money in his hey day.

[geffel]

Or, sick of not having as much money as they could have if they did some adverts.

[21stcenturychick]

this ad is horrible, at least they could have done it with more budget, I mean that cheap purple screen looks hideous, and Iggy Pop my god bloody awful performance

[reaction123]

will everyone stfu about "selling out", unless you're in still in grade school, you need to fking grow up.

[ABucketfulofMariah]

Jesus Iggy I have to watch you in between futurama.

It's hell.

[geckofamily]

0:08

[geckofamily]

thats embarrassing.

[s4r4hh]

I almost like him more for doing this. It's kind of like "Hey, fuck you. I do what I want because I'm motherfucking Iggy Pop."

And it made me smile.

[strangeritual]

buying insurance to cover your insurance is every marketing exec's dream gig!

i for one am out

[ToTaLyPoMo]

Iggy Pop was never an anarchist or an anti-commercialist... His music and his art was and is about KICKS and FUN. And this is FUCKING HILARIOUS! :D :D :D

[cbas0sabc]

boo fucking who.

my favorite artists don't do behave exactly how i want them to.

[affectionatepunch]

Fuck me john lydon will be doin a butter advert next...

[strangeritual]

i don't think so!

[Coops65]

Fucking hypocrisy!

[braindamagehurts44]

they could have at least done a better ad than this for mr. pop

[psychodeathmonkey]

punk rock is always about being unpredictable.... the money doesnt hurt either. since when does iggy have to play by your rules?

[GLeNss]

yeah I hate when ppl say oh noes I heard a punk band on a tv advert they are sell outs. NO they didnt change their music and they are gettin paid for it! jonas brothers will have to wait till the next ad. fuckin dumbass indiewannabe starbucks drinkin mac ownin cunts

[psychodeathmonkey]

green day are the biggest fucking sellouts to date, Dookie was a good punk record but they just wanted more radio plays so they lightened up everything they are a disgrace to punk rock. punk isnt about wearing mascera.

[GLeNss]

you are talking about greenday lol they are a "basketcase" :P they suck and piss me off so much when I hear them as do hannah satana

[V4Fiogkos]

The funny thing is that swiftcover doesn't insure musicians...

[UltimateVenom]

it does now

[slob09]

its ok folks!

iggy only did this to get a fat pensionat his 90s....

hahahahahahahaha

as if they d insure him!

[robotorb]

Iggy, I thought you had ENOUGH money? I mean, with the Motorola commercial too and all.... just sayin.... it's fuckin' sad!

[Neltron]

Hey Iggy's really sad about the way you feel about him. You're really hurting his feelings writing this stuff.

NOT!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[CM23Boi]

i hate this guy wana punch him in the face

[whenaletter]

Am I selling car insurance or am I selling time? No Iggy you're selling your soul and your integrity with it

[MLRMorgan]

Oohh I have artist credibility cause I can whine about Iggy selling out. Who gives a fuck what anybody thinks. Do what you want Iggy, you always have.

[mybandishighvoltage]

Right on man! Why does it always have to come down to selling out? I think all of the people who say that shit are making it worse. If I was in a position like that, I'd do just because they would appreciate me enough to ask. If you don't do something because you're too afraid to sell out, then you're just as much of a conformist as everyone else so stop bitching.

[nimrodmiller]

Couldn't have said it better.

[DarkSoool]

You have no fucking idea of what beign a conformist is.

Morals rings a bell for ya?.

[augustusdes]

Why the fuck did Iggy have to sell out?? I thought he was the only one who kept it real. A few months ago this man was my all time hero. Now I just couldnt give a fuck about him. He's killed that special flame..

[TheRacistsMustDie]

He's 62 man, the fuck are you saying about a 62 year old guy selling out?

[augustusdes]

That kind of attitude is part of the problem these days..makes me fucking sick.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

Ahw, come on, it's the internet, you don't have to act credible or dignant on the internet.

[dudeglove]

I don't think that man knows he's on the planet, let alone what insurance is.

[florgat91]

porn is next ..

[DJxBash]

why dont you all just GET A LIFE....

Get Swiftcovered :D

[Jaysthename]

How is it that so many of you are surprised by this? Iggy Pop has never been concerned about anything except Iggy Pop. In the best of times, his self-serving manipulations led to some great music in spite of himself.  Now he's just a salesman.

[hattrickpete]

''am i selling car insurance or am I selling time?'' er your selling out 'iggy'. N sick of see this old sellouts face everytime I watch futurerama on sky and theres and ad break.

[zionravescene]

The poor guy.

[whiskeyagogo1982]

hes a pasenger...and he rides and he rides and he rides

[OnTheLibraryComputer]

I think Iggy thinks this is a joke - hey they paid him for this lol!!

[jackhartcup]

i think bill hicks said it best

watch?v=Khb43e--uQQ

[radiofist]

He's got to be desperate for money

[potato73]

Eurgh, he's all sweaty and greasy and scrawny. Every time this comes on TV it makes me want to throw up.

Sorry Iggy.

[hattrickpete]

HE IS NOW 100% A SELL OUT.

[Curlynob]

Can anybody remember what this guy did when he was famous?

[SJDurrant]

Is hawking products really the top rung on the ladder for celebrities these days? It makes me fucking sick.

[antiochus66]

cheap and nasty,looks like the budget went on the smack heads fee.

the director of this commercial should be shot..

bad.

[r3tahd]

WTF Iggy, you fucking stooge?

[Therealestinit]

Wha the fuck was that

[HIMspaz]

iiiiiiiiiiicccckkkkkyyyyyyyy

[bobzilla211]

love me. continue to find me relevant. pay me.

[stanleystanksupdarea]

Nice one Iggy, sold that soul again I see !!

[nGrEng]

Why is it such a bad thing for the man to make some money finally? Maybe he's fed up with being alternative and broke...
