Didn't she go on Celebrity Fit Club?

#3 Steve says:

Oh my god, this is awful. Jim Steinman, what have you done?

Seriously, Bat Out Of Hell is one of my favorite albums of all time, this is just killing me.

#4 Almost as bad a Viva Viagra ! says:

Pathetic !

#5 hahahahahaha says:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Gimme a break- the commercial is funny, the song is hilarious and both MeatLoaf and Tiffany look great!

Get over it!

#7 Patricia says:

I thought it was GREAT. Give me a break. MEAT & TIFF look GREAT. I hope they do more.

#8 loudmouth says:

this ad is horrible

#9 Katie says:

It was a riot - get over yourselves people!

#10 Paso Fino 53 says:

This was a hoot.... sat in my office playing it over and over

#11 jodi says:

This commercial isn't meant to be taken seriously, duh. It is just plain fun. The son is hilarious.

#12 Gregg says:

I would consider dropping my current phone service to GoPhone just because of this commercial.
I study commercials to the nth degree and this one fits in oh so many ways.
Thanks

#13 Dave says:

Oh.
My.
God.

#14 ashley says:

the kid is the best! the look on his face/head bobbing when meatloaf gets into it is priceless

#15 JB says:

Relax kids, Meatloaf cannot be bad.

#16 Frog says:

I thought it was an awesome commercial. I even giggled a bit at realizing if we applied how the original song ends to the commercial, they're going to be wanting out of the phone soon enough.

#17 DJ says:

Awesome commercial I loved it!!!

#18 Gregg #2 says:

Sure ad is awful, but it's good to see Meatloaf out there.

#19 veronica says:

What a fun commercial! Good for Tiff and Meatloaf to not take themselves too seriously and be able to have some fun like this. And who is that kid? He's a riot.

#20 yimbob says:

i had no idea who they where but its still horrible and whoever created this add should be beheaded

#21 KD says:

The actor who plays the son is Adam Cagley.

#22 Lisa says:

The commercial was great. I recognized meatloaf but I don't know anything about Tiffany.

#23 Holly says:

I love this commercial. The kids face is hysterical

#24 Dori says:

Great commercial! Love it!!

#25 Rickrider says:

Meat Loaf kicks A__! so does the song, it's just a commercial. BAT OUT OF HELL is one of the best of all time!!!!

#26 cathy s says:

I think it's a great commercial. Love it.

#27 G&S says:

The commercial is terrific! I thought the kid just might be related to meatloaf.

#28 JLowe says:

You people really need to get over it! Stop taking life so seriously. The commercial is great!

#29 sccocoker says:

if you understand Meatloaf this commercial is great! I think it might be for us 50+ since we out number everyone!

#30 Matt says:

Normally this would be embarrassing and awful, but somehow this works and is really funny. They pull it off!

#31 Vern says:

I was mad that they were ripping off Meat, until I realized it was him! Then I loved it! When's the tour?

#32 KevinEffin says:

Meatloaf rocks! Shoulda left the kid left the kid out. Tiffany apparently has been at the refrigerator alot.

#33 learn to act says:

This commercial sucks. It's not funny and the son's scenes make me cringe. Take some acting classes kid, that way you can score something better than shitty commercials and Disney shows. Lip syncing ain't that hard. LOL.

It would have been better with just Meatloaf and Tiffany.

#34 Kay says:

Who is the young man playing his son??????

#35 accox says:

My husband and I are 50+'ers. What a freaking great commerical. We crack up every time it comes on. What a hoot. Just love it. We already have AT&T cell service or I would switch.

#36 Jeannie says:

Is the kid in the AT & T commercial Meatloaf's son? Too cool to see MeatLoaf and Tiffany again. I am in my mid 40's and my teenagers love all the same music I used to listen to!

#37 Marc says:

HAHAHAHA...I love it..!! To see Aday making a parody of himself is great..!!

#38 Mashed potatoes says:

Love Meatloaf and seeing Tiffany with him was awesome. It's cheezy but aren't all the phone ads? I love watching the commercial, I wonder if that really is his son.

#39 Bemorganyc says:

Oh, come on! This is a hoot! I cut my second set of rock & roll teeth on Meatloaf, and lived through "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" more times than I care to remember. Finally, a fun cell commercial that isn't overbearing, talking down or just stupid. And the kid is terrific! Thank you, Meatloaf.

#40 DarbyClash says:

I get a bit queasy seeing and hearing this one, given how well I know the original...is the son saying he'll let his da go all the way in exchange for a phone? I would have held out for a phone _and_ a Jet-Ski.

#41 Kelly L. says:

I love this commerical. We have to rewind it all the time. The son's facial expressions are awesome. Great Job AT&T!!! You should play the whole thing.

#42 Gina says:

I absolutely love this commercial. Everyone HAS to love meatloaf. i'm only sixteen and i know i do. they cast the son very well in this i think, he kinda looks like meatloaf, well atleast i think so

very nice job at&t =D

#43 tina says:

What a great twist on an AWESOME song. I remember watching meatloaf on his very first appearance of SNL - he was good then, got better with time and still "has it." Those who write negative things about him or Tiffany are obviously just jealous of their success.

#44 Joannie says:

I love this commercial! The song! The singers! Everything!

#45 Jan says:

A commercial just cannot get any better than this!! Even cooler when you have seen Meatloaf in person and this song brings down the house. Brings back memories that just make you smile...

#46 Jane says:

Wow I love it

#47 NiteGeni says:

I loved it...had me playing the whole "Bat Out of Hell" album and remembering when... And I hardly know anyone who hasn't had the "surprise" phone bill from their kids.

#48 Jan says:

#20 yimbob -- If you don't know who Meatloaf is, give it up, because you will NEVER get this commercial!!!

#49 Riot says:

This commercial was a riot. I can't believe people would seriously expect this to be more than a parody, and you gotta hand it to Meatloaf (Talk about Time Warp!) and Tiffany to make fun of themselves. I hope we can all be this funny. Made me laugh.

#50 TEKA says:

THIS COMMERCIAL IS SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!

#51 John says:

if u dont like this commercial you have no sense of humor. its freakin hilarious and some of you need to get over yourselves...

#52 Gary says:

This was great! My favorite commercial!

#53 Nora says:

This was a great flashback. To all the non-lovers, get a grip....it was fun and far more entertaining than 99% of the commercials out there!

#54 Tiffany who? says:

F tiffany. That Chevelle is sweet!!!!

#55 madmom says:

The commercial is freakin awesome! If my son didn't work for u.s. cellular, I would switch! I just don't get Tiff with the huge hunk of meat???? what am I missing?

#56 Bill says:

I can't say "SUCK" loud enough to truly express how I feel about ALL AT&T commercials.. I thought if I saw that one about the two nerdy people trying to take Salsa lessons one more time I would scream. The latest spate of AT&T are truly annoying. A.G. Bell is spinning in his grave with embarassment over these assaults on the human psyche. Fire this poor excuse for an ad agency!

#57 Jayme says:

I say GO FOR IT.
MEAT never looked better, Tiffani looks good too, and the KID is doing a fairly good imitation.
Looks to me like they are all having a darn good time.
And I am Meatloafs oldest fan!!!! (I think!!!!!!!)

#58 Shirley says:

This is one of the best and most fun commercials ever! The actor portraying the son is perfect and he resembles meatloaf enough to really be his son. Great job AT&T

#59 Alexian says:

I still think the people who made the commercial should be shot. Some will be turned off when they can't even understand what he's saying. Others will not like the destruction of another classic rock song for a half-baked commercial. Those who "get" Meat Loaf, who are familiar with the original song and how it ends, will be thinking that the son will want to ditch his Go Phone service pretty much the minute that he starts using the phone. Since they've pretty much destroyed any potential customers they might have had, how are they supposed to sell the product?

#60 John says:

I fast forward through every commercial but this one caught my eye. It's great and it's just for kicks so all of you who don't get it shouldn't watch it.

#61 Sue says:

You people ripping on Meat for this commercial need to pull your head out of your pompous @55 for a minute and grow up. It's MEANT to be ridiculous and fun, and you're pathetic and clueless for not getting it.

#62 just me says:

This is terrible! How old has he gotten? What's he doing with bubble-gum wannabe teen queen Tiffany? How much more can they sell out? It's an insult ... ruins the memories associated with the song ...which I used to love ... now can't bear to listen to it.

#63 connie says:

The commerical rocks! only a young punk would not love this!

#64 Liz says:

If you are not a fan of meatloaf then you would obviously not get the "bad acting" of the kid.....awesome commercial and I loce it

#65 iluvhasbeens says:

So you people truly do sit here and discuss commercials ?? I'm amazed...............someone told me this happened and I had to drop out of my "real" life for a moment to check it out. Glad I have a life and I gotta get back to it. Ya'll have fun picking "pretend commercials" apart. lol

#66 Chris says:

This extended version is a RIOT!! LOVE it!

#67 pappy j says:

Rock ON Meatloaf!!!

#68 Ann says:

I love this commercial.

#69 Debby says:

I love your meatloaf commercial. It's the best one on TV. Is that his real son?

#70 Treelady says:

I think its awesome. I love it. I had no idea that was Tiffany, but I knew for sure it was Meat Loaf. The kid actually looks like him too. I think its great.

#71 PatriciaMc says:

Gee people... people age and people get heavier... it will probably happen to most of you so get over it! I love the commercial!

#72 Ugh says:

This commercial is wearing out my mute button.

#73 chuck says:

Some people take life just too seriously. I'm glad
Meatloaf doesn't. I think this commercial is a
wonderful thing. Meatloaf is a good as ever. And the
"son" was also just like Meatloaf.

#74 Red says:

I loved it!!!

#75 Star says:

I, for one, absolutely love the commercial. The guy that plays Meat Loaf's son is a dead ringer for him. I hope they do more. I also loved Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
Anybody who truly hates this commercial should just leave the planet, I mean, Come on Meat was always good, Tiff was too, glad to see them together again.

#76 sassyandsweet says:

the commercial is fun and cute. If you don't like the commercial change the station for 30 seconds. Also the ones making comments on the way that she loks (looks fine) maybe you guys should concentrate on how people percieve you writing stupid things like that

#77 Cheryl says:

EXCELLENT parody commercial...and it's the real deal with Meatloaf and Tiffany..and the son...perfect match! I love commercials like this that are aimed at me, part of the baby boomer generation (somebody out there thinks we've got bottomless pockets). Our group is the target audience of so many products...cars, medicines, foods, hair products, insurance, etc. ....I love feeling so important! : )

#78 Jen says:

This is the funniest commercial I've seen in a long time! I loves me some Meatloaf!

#79 Jan says:

Loved the commercial. Loved Meatloaf and Tiffany. Even loved the kid.

#80 maryann says:

this is the best commercial ever! its great, the kid bobbing his head at meatloaf and meatloaf laughing when the kid gets really into singing, its awesome!

#81 Alisha Call says:

OMG that kid is tooo funny...i lloooooove his face when he does that snarled lip and head bob thing!!! i looove it! who he is? like whats his name?? i wanna konw!!!!

#82 dynamicgrneyes says:

#83 Jennifer says:

The single greatest commercial I have ever seen =]
I love the boys face when he sings "you ask about the go phone every night and day".. makes me laugh EVERY time
=]

#84 ND says:

We love Meat Loaf and the commercial. That kid looks so much like him, I thought he must be his son. Meat obviously doesn't take himself too seriously and he has a great sense of humor.

#85 mclaxmom says:

If I could only have one album it would be Bat Out Of Hell.
This commercial rocks!

#86 Mary Frakes-Landon says:

All I want to know is what the Hell is Tiffany carrying when she enters? Is that an animal leg? A dead bird? What?

#87 Spike says:

Great commercial, different, unlike so much of the boring, monotonous crap out there. Gets my attention and makes its point.

#88 Debby says:

Most awesome commmercial I have seen in a long time.
Way to go all of you.

#89 Ben J says:

Wow! makes my skin crawl, but I'm sure some people giggle like little kids at this crap. Sufice to say Meatloaf has always made me cringe, but never more than this.

#90 Bigart28 says:

This is hillarious. Anyboby who does not like this needs to get over themselves. The Son has my nomination for chessy commercial actor of the year.....LOL! Those head movements are worth the eniter 1:30 viewing time! When are they gonna do the next commercial?

#91 melissa says:

This kid could be his son, is he?? Anybody know?

#92 Myron says:

I also thought that the kid was Meatloaf's real son and I didn't recognize Tiffany. I thought the lady was Meatloaf's real wife. This commercial is enjoyable and reminds me of the good old days. Most complaints are from youngsters who prefer ads with lots of special FX.

#93 adele says:

keep this commercial FOREVER!!!

#94 Piper says:

I love everything about this commercial!! Lighten up,kids.

#95 karen says:

I love the commercial, I thought the kid was Meatloaf's son. All 3 are good in it.

#96 Pat says:

What an awesome commercial, I love it

#97 Anne says:

This was great brought back great memories. I forgot how fantastic they were together!

#98 amir0th3h3ro says:

wow..

#99 AdeleM says:

What a great way to tie in nostalgia and commercial. A HIT!!!

#100 It's a hoot says:

Love this ad; love that it pokes fun at itself. C'mon guys, the bad lip-synching is intentional (remember Meatloaf's first videos?), as is the bad continuity (keep your eye on the broom handle!), and cheesy special effects. The leg of... whatever is a nod to Meatloaf's role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show ("Oh, come on, Columbia, you've eaten meatloaf before!") And if you don't get that reference, I couldn't begin to explain it to you. The only joke I don't yet get is the bird being billed as Bob Emerson. Anyone?

#101 Catwomanmtb says:

It's a commercial, and it's funny. If you don't like it turn the channel. I really enjoy it.

#102 Joe says:

This commercial is funny as hlll. Anyone hear about the Meatloaf movie? I heard it was interestng to watch. It is a greate insite to see how Meatloaf thinks and prefrmes.

#103 hideousdwarf says:

ahahahahahahaha Im 18 and I love meatloaf that commercial is hilarious

GO MEAT ROCK ON
