I knew it was Meat Loaf but I also thought it was his real son. He looks like him. Is that his real wife, by chance? I like this commercial too.

Is that his real wife, by chance?

He was AWESOME!! RHPS is my favorite move ever! The casting in the movie and in the commercial both were perfect. "What ever happened to Saturday night..." Remember The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Matthew, sorry it riled you up. :) I really like Meat Loaf (and Jim Steinman)'s music. I think it's beautifully bombastic. But, Vincent, no one but us would have recognized them!

While the casting was really good -- I thought the son kid really his son, and you only saw a brief glimpse of the wife (aka Tiffany) so why couldn't it be his wife? -- I still hate the commercial. It's annoying, the lip-syncing was terrible (which might be the point, but to me it looks stupid), I never liked Meatloaf's music, and in the end, it's just another ad for a cell phone. (Why are cell phones expensive? Because they have to pay Meatloaf and Tiffany to be in commercials for them.) Blah, I say! Blah!

That being said, the Meatloaf commercial is funny. I didn't know the mother was Tiffany. It would have been funnier had it been Karla DeVito or Ellen Foley.

Good casting, indeed! And I thought that was Tiffany! Time has been kind to her and Deb(bie) Gibson both.
