Meat Loaf And Tiffany Duet (For An Uncomfortably Long Time) For AT&T's GoPhone

Last time we checked in with Meat Loaf, he was falling on the ground (repeatedly) in the Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise trailer. He also let us know he was forever in search of the perfect show. Maybe it's not perfect, but Loaf's hooked up with late '80s "I Think We're Alone Now" mall princess Tiffany and found himself a little bit of "Paradise by the GoPhone Light." It's as embarrassing as it sounds. Though, to be fair, Tiff and Meat aren't entirely to blame: Get a load of their over-acting son played by Adam Cagley. Jack Black wants his shtick back, Adam.


(via The Daily Swarm)

Why's Tiffany doing magic tricks in front of the refrigerator? More importantly ... Why Tiffany? Well, that was ... interesting. And long!

God. I'm so embarrassed right now.
For myself, because I watched this shite. For Meatloaf and Tiffany because they need a check that badly. But most importantly for that chubby, young man.
I suppose he had a dream to act but all he got was a bad lip-sync to a cheeseball commercail hawking cheap phones. Poor kid. He's probably making some head shrink a pile of cash as we speak.

Cheers!

I'm gonna go ahead and start my reply with a big ol' fashion FUCK YOU!

If you knew anything about me and my career, you'd know that this is just my most recent job in a long line of tv shows and movies over the last seven years.

What do you do, other than sit and read blogs, leaving dumb ass little snarky rude comments on them all day, that makes you so god damn important?

Oh wait, I seem to be fairly rude, I'll make it up to, let me ask. How's the night shift at Burger King going?

And before you go and make the stereotypical fat joke out of that let me just say this, I'm fat, but that can change. YOU will always be a pathetic, bottom feeding, asshole. Have fun with that! Oh and tell all your friends in the unemployment line that I'm laughing at them. A 17 year old making more money than they could ever dream of. Who woulda thunk it?

Good for you, Adam! everybody's got to pay their dues and start somewhere. Not everyone got the big break on their first time out. Good or not, the ad was memorable; and I'm IN the ad biz, so I know that's what counts.Isn't there an old adage like...any publicity is good publicity?

I think the commercial and the acting was great. Who cares what these pricks think. Every time the commercial comes on my wife and I Love it. Go phone had a great idea to market the phone and the actors/singers were great. J .Law is a loser for even writing his review. your probably 35, living in an apartment above your parents garage jerking off to beastiality. Get a life.

I am not one to usually comment on things like this, but I want to say also. "Good for you Adam". I think people who make rude, nasty comments on blogs have nothing better to do with their time and have to hurt others to make themselves feel better.
I personally love the commercial and think you, Meatloaf, and Tiffany all do a great job. Compared to some of the commercials out there, this one I don't mind watching, I hope you three make more..........it is a great team up. Good job Adam!

Great reply Adam. While I agree with what you said sweety, I think professionaly you should ignore people who say negative things about you online, and in person. I know stars often go off, and have every right to. However, just remember your public image, and most importantly your career image. You don't want future employers coming across posts like you made. If you are even Adam, hell it's the internet who knows who is who on here anymore. *winks*

Sorry, just the motherly side of me trying to look out for you and your career. Let the nobody famous people (like us) tell the J losers of the world to Fuck Off, and that they don't have a clue about reality, business, or being a worthy human being.

Love Always,

P.S. I also thought you were really Meatloaf's son, and found your performance and the commercial itself addicting. Bravo darling, a good commerical to have under your career belt. Besides, commercials now a days are sometimes even better than watching some of the damn movies people put out. I do not see commercials as 'low class' or 'rock bottom' in this modern era of media for actors, and famous stars.

Hey, Adam
You did an awesome job in the AT&T commerical with Meatloaf. Keep up the good work! Don't let those rude comments get you down, those comments usually come from pathetic punks with nothing better to do.
I really thought you were Meatloaf's son, I had to look it up on the web.

I was shocked and thrilled to see Meat in a commercial. Didn't know it was Tiffany until I found this site. Adam, I thought you were awesome (finally saw the longer clip here). I've been a Meatloaf fan for many years - saw him in concert 1989.

I think it's fabulous!! Keep up the good work Adam - you're obviously working with stars... :)

Don't worry dude, these anonymous blog critics are just jealous that you got a pretty sweet commercial deal, seriously, who the hell wouldn't want to be in a commercial with both Meatloaf and Tiffany?

My only complaint about the commercial is what the hell were the producers thinking regarding using this song? The next lyrics in the song are about waiting till the end of time. Ie, implying Meatloaf just can't wait until that damn phone contract he signs expires so he can get a better phone deal :-)

I was surprised and pleased to see MEATLOAF on the commercial. As soon as I saw it I recognized him immediately, but not Tiffany. AT&T knew exactly what they were doing when they cast MEATLOAF; who's concerts are extremely popular here and overseas. Are you going to second guess AT&T, a major conglomerate and their marketing gurus to cast MEATLOAF in a commercial? I'm not!

And, for those who think that Adam is paying his dues with this commercial, just check out his resume on IMDB...he's quite impressive.

It looks like a lot of you have somehow misplaced your sense of humor. The ad is supposed to be over the top! How stupid do you have to be to not get that? If Meatloaf and Tiffany and Adam have the self-confidence to make a little fun of themselves, good for them! Celebrities who take themselves too seriously are the reason Hollywood has the reputation it has in the rest of the country.

I love this commerical and replay it over and over again. I love the teen "son" and the look he gets on his face as the he gets into the music, especially when he bares his teeth and bobs his head. Absolutely adorable. Love Meatload and the whole commercial. Bet it sells a lot of phones.

Why Tiffany? Because they were able to make her look like Karla DeVito. I want to know what animal haunch she was putting in the freezer! I'll bet they originally wanted it to look like Eddie's leg, but that would have been too cumbersome.

the average actor/actress does commercials for any line of product overseas; however, by American Standards, this is considered ruining your career. I think meatloaf was awesome, i liked the whole dove scene with Tiffany. And Adam was beyond adorable....especially when his teeth were bared and he was bobbin his head...so maybe it was a little corny...AT&T is selling a lot of those go phones.

ok d00ds, at the end of the day we're all reading this on a blog. I didn't see this post before I saw the commercial on TV. and for someone that doesn't watch TV that much, I'd have to say this advert is pretty much on par with the rest of the cellphone commercials out there today. it might be a little bit better because it is so blatant. I am no at&t rep, nor part of this adam cagley's posse.. but I guess contextualized this is a mediocre commercial that reaches par because of its cast. and that adam kid is much less obnoxious than the kid from grandma's boy and superbad. at least it wasn't him in the commercial.

The acting is over the top because Meatloaf is known for being over the top. I'm sure that is why he agreed to do the ad. I've never heard of Adam Cagley but I thought he was Meatloaf's real son, so I suppose he accomplished EXACTLY what was expected of him.
I rarely post on blogs so it would seem that this commercial accomplished its' goal of creating publicity for the company.

I will bet everyone of you who have had a go at them will be the first to put your hand up if offered the job instead of any of the guy's. Being jealous is a bitch but you need to grow up its a darn ad for christ sake.
Those who dont like it...simple dont watch it, but put your money where your mouth is and go show others you can do better.
I have never heard of this young man or woman till the ad come along and i didnt even see it at first, i heard it and had to watch it, so if an ad can do that then it has to have something.

I love this commercial. You're not meant to take it too seriously. The fact is, it's geared towards people who will recognize Meat Loaf and Tiffany, and who can sort of chuckle about it. There's a definite nostalgia factor here. Every time the commercial comes on, I giggle a little to myself... then want to dig out my old Meat Loaf albums. I think the problem is with the younger generation who just don't get the joke.

As someone with 30 years in the advertising field, I found it very smart, shrewd and done in the spirit of "campy"as it was obviously meant to be--easily succeeding in producing attention and connecting AT&T wth the good feelings of a well-known and loved song (remember how Pepsi did it with Michael Jackson so successfully in the 1980's). I did note a few referred to Meatloaf and Tiffany as "has-beens;" I did notice these comments came from people I've never heard of. Does that make the commenting people bitter "never-was's?" Or just pained, hopeless, failed wanna-be music/media critics? OR BOTH?!!!

Seriously, some of you people sound crazy, speculating that AT&T has paid someone to post the positive comments. You've forced me to post my first comment EVER on such a trivial topic. The commercial made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it, and yes, sent me to the computer to learn more. Anyone over 40 years old has fond memories of Meat Loaf from "Rocky Horror", as well as his music from the 70's-80's. And maybe my view of what makes a person fat is skewed a bit by age, but I really don't find either Meat or Adam all that out of shape. In fact, I think Meat has aged very well, even looking a bit more fit than he did in the 70's. You people really have no business criticizing him for either his body shape, his singing, or his choice to use his talents as he sees fit. At the risk of stooping to your level, I have to say that your comments stem, more than likely, from jealousy. Lighten up, enjoy the commercial for its tongue-in-cheek humor, and if you can't do that, just move on.

Notice, lamb (oh, the sheep jokes that come to mind, but we do have a much more serious topic to discuss): I do know how to click on the "submit" button only once. Guess I'm not an AT&T shill; no more so than you are a music critic. And the jealousy I was referring to would be directed at Meat Loaf, not Adam, but you would have realized that if you had actually read my comment instead of rushing to make yourself look like an ass.

It's a commercial, not a concert, so who cares if the kid isn't the best lip-syncher? But maybe that's what YOU love about Britney Spears? Hmmm. Maybe his "lip-synch like shit" was intentional.

Some of the best commercials play on an inside joke, as in this case of Meat Loaf's PARODY of his persona in the 70's. People who like him get it, and share the fun with him. Once again, since you seemed to stumble over the obvious while attempting to psychoanalyze ME: it's just some folks having fun with a theme from the past. If you don't enjoy it, you're entitled to your misguided opinion. Now step away from the fat kid and go back to popping your pimples.

GREAT COMMERCIAL. I love it. Meatloaf is one of my all time favorites and it is a treat to see him in the commercial. You know those of you that don't like the commercial can turn the channel each time it is on ! Me, I love the commercial and wish they would show it in its entirety all the time !!

Great job and great commercial. I love the commercial because of MEATLOAF....one of my all time favorite singers. For those that say they are "too young" to know his music, my 15 year old granddaughter loves his music and we've been know to play PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT full blast as we're driving to a mall or whatever. Perhaps those that don't know Meatloaf's work are just deprived socially.

Adam, your facial expressions in the commercial are priceless. I so enjoyed them. Keep up the good work and please laught all the way to the bank. It seems the commercial is a hit !!!

I’ve read all the posts here so far. Weird.

Okay, at the certain risk of being accused of being someone I’m not, by someone I don’t know -- and who doesn’t know me -- let me say:

I also found this link looking for more info on the commercial. Why? Because my family and I really LIKED IT! We wanted to know if that was really Meatloaf’s kid. Wow, that must be hard to believe huh? You’d think so, reading some of the bizarre replies here. To them I say: I would never have heard of Stereogum if I hadn’t googled “meatloaf, go phone commercial, son” and this was one of the top hits. But based on the review (and the caustic, borderline nonsensical replies), I sure won’t be coming here for entertainment news again. But I might come back to just to see how bad I get flamed for expressing my opinions!

Here goes. It’s totally cool if someone likes or dislikes this commercial, but to say that someone who likes it must be connected with the commercial is strange. To say that Fangirls bribed the LA times to run a fake article on the commercial (which is actually there BTW – uh, how is that a “fake article”?). Well, that’s beyond strange. So I guess I shouldn’t be offended when I’m accused of being with the production, with AT&T or simply being an idiot for liking something they don’t (why the nerve of me)! :-)

I’ve tried to figure out how anyone could actually believe that all the individual, favorable opinions here (which are clearly in the majority) are the result of organized “shills”. Ones that could “bribe the LA Times” at that! That’s too bizarre. I’ve come to the conclusion that no one could be that stupid, and still be capable of operating a keyboard (particularly through all the drool on it).

So, at first I guessed they’re simply trying to “yank our chains”. We all know people that love to instigate situations, right? If they can find someone’s “button”, they’ll push it! They enjoy seeing people get irritated over their words and actions. But I’ll bet they’re perfect angels in front of their parents, (downstairs each night). You know, the Eddie Haskell types (if you’re not my age, wiki the reference).

But I think it’s even simpler than that. Profit. If you want to know the root of something nasty, follow the money. Think about it. They clearly got people like me, (and many of you -- that almost never post), to post here! Why did we? Due to their audaciously incredulous statements. The organized effort here is not by the individuals posting the positive comments; it’s by the few that have posted the “conspiracy” comments. I’d bet they’re all directly connected with this web site (how’s that for conspiring)? And what’s in it for them? By posting the rude attacks towards anyone that dares to like something they don’t, they’re getting more activity! Well, the more hits to their site, and the more demonstrated activity, the more they’re worth as far as advertising dollars go. It’s a very Machiavellian trick (that we all fell for)!

No, they’re not strange, weird, brainless morons. They’re shrewd, thoughtless, self-serving, uncaring (and rude) web site owners. But certainly not morons. :-)

How’s that for a taste of your own medicine?

You know the fact that so many people found this site the same way I did, searching to find out if Adam is really Meatloaf's son, says a lot about the acting ability of everyone in it! My husband was sorry to hear he was wrong about him being certain Adam was Meatloafs son! He loves Meatloaf and the commercial. And I agree on the commercial! It is the best one out there right now and the only one I purposely WATCH! And if you think I work for anyone you are nuts! I am a housewife, grandmother and writer!

Surely everyone can recognise that the writing style in some of the posts is very similar. For example, the often used CAPITAL LETTERS trying to emphasise a point. It's obviously one person posting over and over. Whoever it is denying they are on here posting with an agenda are lying (and that's the truth).

We all know that Meatloaf is over the top and votes republican and is most probably an arsehole, so who can say they are surprised that he's done this advert? I still enjoy much of his early work (No really - I do). But what the hell does Meatloaf have to do with phones? There is no link. Hence the advert (even though it made me smile because it is so ridiculous) is more of the devil's work. I'm not interested in useless crap I don't need and I don't want you to shove famous people in my face trying to convince me. Go screw yourself devil.

What sold me on this advert was how the son looked JUST LIKE the father. I mean, oh my god. That's top-notch creative talent right there. If AT&T can pull that impossible feat off in just one commercial just think of how awesome their plans and customer service must be! Everyone should be so lucky to have a GO PHONE!!! :) :) :)

I didn't think the "son" looked fat, just STRANGE. I can't see making all these negative comments about the kid though -- so mean and personal and angry. If you're that angry, you need to be making some changes in your life. Regarding the commercial, every time it's on I feel compelled to watch it -- but kind of like a train wreck.

Obviously you people are children, and are not aware of, or familiar with the genius that is Meatloaf, and the immense success of 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' - so before you go flapping your lips, please educate yourself and know a little bit of what you're talking about.

The short version of this commercial is the best commercial I have seen in a long, long time. Obviously, Meatloaf is great, but Adam and Tiffany are great too. And for these no-lives to ridicule Adam or anyone in this commercial is a reflection of their pathetic little lives.

As far as adam's performance, eh, its an average, bland kid in a dull commercial...it is good to keep the standards low. I'm not trying to make this a personal attack on adam, just a critique of the commercial.

Since when did all of Middle America start posting on this site? It's amazing that someone from the TeeVee (maybe) posts a comment and all of the riblet eaters start making like remorae and sucking around his colon. Last I checked, this was an indie rock site where D list former "rockers" like Meatloaf and mall queens like Tiffany were fair game. As for the "kid" (growth hormone is doing terrible things to the youth of America... that kid looks like a worn-out 33-year-old who lives in Meatloaf's basement), you'd think that a wannabe Jonah Hill would find a better project to hitch his wagon to than the commercial equivalent of "The Surreal Life." What was GEICO not casting for its celebrities/real-life customers spots? Get a clue, Mikey -- you're no Life cereal icon. Your one-and-done spots on "Hannah Montana," "Zack and Cody" and "Malcolm in the Middle" make you one thing: A non-prolific freelancer. It's heartening that the 10 people who saw "Carter's Wish" and "Totally Baked: A Pot-U-Mentary" (actual title) saw fit to drag every soccer mom they knew onto Stereogum to defend you, but right now you've got about all of the juice of that kid who played Chunk in "Goonies." Now truffle shuffle your ass out of here and let me read about Man Man.

As for the rest of you, I think these are the sites you're looking for: ew.com, people.com, tmz.com.

Adam, it's your Nanna. Mom and Dad showed me this site and told me to write to you. I'm very worried. They say you haven't been taking your medications and you know how you get when that happens. Remember the teacups at Disney World? Remember how many people got hurt? Remember how you made that poor paraplegic boy cry? I wouldn't want to see that happen again.

Don't pay these people any mind, Addy. They don't know the real you. It's like that fellow down in Texas... Daniel Johnston. He's this wonderful artist, but he gets so weird when he's not taking his pills. I'd never want to see that happen to you. You may not sing songs or play music or paint, but you're so talented. Soon everybody will see that.

Don't let them call you fat, either. If they saw the joy in your eyes when I pull those twinkees out of the deep fryer, they'd wish they had some of those love handles I love so much, too.

You're my special little man, and nothing these rock and roll weirdos say on their little intronet site will ever change that.

Big, fat kisses,

It’s a good commercial! We were debating whether he was Meat Loaf’s son and I had to look it up a few minutes ago. I also thought the “Mom” was Karla DeVito. I was wrong. Tiffany looks great! All three did a fantastic job. I was convinced. Adam, next time don’t defend yourself to bloggers. It’s not worth it. Do what other performers do: Ignore or let their assistants handle whatever feedback you get. Remember, you are the one on T.V. and movies not them.

Hey Adam Cagley. You are a complete joke. You think you are so great and above other people because you are in acting/ You're getting sh*t jobs and nothing that lasts. No I'm not 17, I'm 32, and a software engineer making a good living. I typed in the search "ugly kid metaloaf commercial" because I was amazed that someone as ugly as you could get an acting gig ANYWHERE. I knew I would come across a page like this because I knew there would be other people out there with the same thing in mind..
"how could someone so ugly make it in the acting world"?

Then it dawned on me (actually, I kinda already knew this), that even acting gigs require ugly people for story/plot lines. Not everybody seen on the tv screen is going to be good looking. So keep your spirits up Adam Cagley, because any time you get an acting gig it's because you are cast for your ugliness. Oh yea, and keep visitng blogs to defend your position. That's something you see every day from legit actors right?

Here's another poster who hasn't figure out the posting delay and ends up repeating themselves 3 times. And they LOVE the commercial and don't even know the punk's real name, what a surprise! Duh.

And to think all this chaos started with a simple cell phone commercial!

Lighten up, people. Get a sense of humor. This is SUPPOSED to be ridiculous and over-the-top. I mean, it's friggin' MEATLOAF for Christsakes, one of the most over-the-top performers singing a parody of the most over-the-top pop songs written in the past three and a half decades. Were you really expecting blinding theatrical brilliance from a TV spot shilling cell phones?

I thought the commercial was terrific, so very much so that I jumped online to find out more about it. I'd never heard of Adam Cagley before 20 minutes ago, but just the fact that Meatloaf is in it makes it genius in my eyes. And that's the single-digit-bank-account truth.

Jester says "I have a 8 digit bank account that is growing daily"
Not in today's market, dude. Oh, and when you boast about the number of digitits in your bank account, the two places after the decimal point usually don't count.

As for the commercial, I'm glad to see The Loaf is still around. And I like the way that the garage props were used to simulate a rock concert special effects extravaganza. However, I don't think Tiffany Darwish can hold a candle to Meat's original singer, Patti Russo. Tiffany just does't have the range, or the whiskey-throated voice of Meat's original duet singer.

And just a word of wonder: do you really think that actor ADAM CAGLEY has the time (or the interest) to hop around the net, looking for people who slam his performance and post a response? Or do you think it's more likely that someone signed in with his name to defend his honor?

Sure the real Adam Cagley has the time and interest. If his shitty IMDB and pale, flabby appearance are any indication, he probably spends more time moon eyed in front of a TV or computer instead of on a set. That makes far more sense than believing that such a nobody has online fans who seek out indie websites to defend his honor.

Man, do I LUUUUUV the Loaf. I don't know how "Paradise" isn't on the top of every best song list ever. Man, is Meat good. You know how some guys are all "I wanna rock" and some are like "I wanna see an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical"? Dude, he's been both than longer than your precious Yeah, Yeah, Whatever has been alive. You hipster kids with your Brooklyn and black-rimmed glasses and turtlenecks and vintage clothes and PBR and trucker hats and leggings and Hold Steady shows and Pavement albums can all suck my cockrod. I'll have me a cool, cold Bud and piss all over your Strokes or whatever the hell band you all are listening to. Stroke off to "Bat Out of Hell," you little sushi-fed, coffee drinking, sprout-eating, skateboard having, little stupid Chinese tapioca ball loving motherfuckers. No woman will ever be as hot as Patti Russo. I saw this site's list of hot bitches and not one of them is fit to sniff the fallen cocaine off Meat's wangus. When she dies, a plastic mold of her stuff should go on the wall of one of your froofy little museums like the "Met" so hipsters can stick their gnatpricks inside and see God. Adam, you've got big shoes and pants to fill, but you do it pretty well. Funniest thing I've seen since the Uncle Floyd show went off the air. Man, that thing was great. Floyd would get piss wasted and talk to puppets and laugh at people who weren't even on screen. Shit, it was brilliant. You kids don't know. You think your Lolaploozers are shows, but Tom Carvel knows better. You try selling ice cream when you have emphyzema. Now that was a commercial... Fudgie the Whale. Sold itself. Not like Tiffany, who looks like she can't give it away. OHHHHHHH! Got you good, fucker! Everybody here thinks they're so great. Why do you have jobs then, Einsteins. Best fuckin' commercial. Suck a longstroke, dicktasters.

I can't believe how long this has been on the most commented list. I know I'm only making the problem worse by adding another comment, but Jesus. If AT&Twas stuffing this thread for advertising purposes then they sure did achieve their goal.

I came here to see what Adam Cagely was all about because I love the commercial and I love MEATLOAF and all his music! He was so good I thought he was his real son!
Adam- listen to the postive and forget the crass, classless fools who use the internet for shock value and an excuse to be foul. Forgive them for they are probably very lonely peoplem after all- who would want nasty ugly mouthed people like that in their life? ugh

Pat

I wonder what J LAW and all bloggers were doing here if they were were so repulsed.by the commercial?

You know I thought the commercial was cute and the kid in it was cute. The only reason I found this was because I saw the same kid (AC) on the Suite Life of Z & C with my kids and I was wondering who he was. Then I see this blog and then see his unprofessional reply to the person making rude comments about him and the commercial. Adam, I am shocked and dissapointed that you would use such language. I was happy to see what a nice career you have, but would think that you would not reply to ignorant, rude people with ignorance and rudeness. You know, when you play in kids shows, you are an example whether you like it or not. So as my daughter and I are searching about you on the net and see this blog, I had to ask her to not read it because it was such vulgar language. I'm not judging you like the other person was, but I thought a seasoned actor as yourself would know how to hold your tongue and figured you were mature enough to ignore stupidity, as that person's oponion was. I wish you the best in your career, but don't forget how you got famous.
