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!

    lighten up folks. the commercial was fun and funny.
    Gotta love Meatloaf’s voice. I don’t care what he is singing.
    It’s a commercial for heaven’s sake, not the Met.
    And, Adam, I loved your rejoinder.

    .

  2. If that is really Adam who posted, that is just pathetic. Very sad. He must be a very self-conscious person to be reading reading blogs about himself on the internet and taking them to heart.

    um, perhaps i’m missing the joke here, but why are there so many responses to this stupid commercial. why am i responding? i’m so confused. this is weird :P

    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.

    Love the ad.. great job.. As my colleague said.. “if you’re not his son, you shoud be”..Nicely done..

  8. I thought it was hilarious. A little scary realizing it was Tiffany but funny. And it is pretty crazy that Adam and Meatloaf look like they really could be father and son!

  9. Nanna  |   Posted on May 2nd, 2008

    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,

    Nanna

    I have to say, that commercial was great. I was in love with Tiffany years ago and well… She has grown and I think I am in love again! I read someone talking about wanting to eat lamb… Well, now I am in the mood for some dove. Thanks Tiffany!

    HAYE EVERYBODIES AND MEATLOAVES SON ADAM CAGLEY. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH MY 8 DIGIT BANK ACCOUNT AND EVEN WORSER, MY 9 DIGIT TELEPHONE NUMBER, BUT I WILL SAY THAT I THINK YOU ARE ALL GOOD PEOPLES.

    I THINK WE COULD MAKE SWEET MUSIC AND MONEY TOGETHER, EVERYONE. HERE IS MY BUSINESS CARD. THANK YOU.

  16. I love this commercial man. You are supposed to be overacting a bit,maybe these fools haven’t seen the original video. I grew up on it. I had a crush on Debbie Gibson in the 80′s,but Wow!!! Tiffany looks better then ever,hope you enjoyed working with her??? Good luck,and I really thought you were Meatloafs’ son. Good job!!

  17. redro  |   Posted on May 4th, 2008

    hi adam , if meatloaf hadnt alreday done a bio pic , i would nominate you for the role . you got good pipes kid

  18. Adam, Meat & Tiffany ~ I think that this is one of the most original commercials out there and everyone’s right, Adam, you do look like Meat! It was a great commercial – I squealed when I saw it! :-D

  19. yo123minme  |   Posted on May 4th, 2008

    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.

    • You measure success and validity of opinion on whether someone is on TV and Movies or not. What an arse you are.

  20. Cynde  |   Posted on May 4th, 2008

    For goodness sakes people this is only a commercial. must you be so damn critical of others, I didnt see you on the set now did I ?. Myself growing up listening to meatloaf thought this was wonderful with everyone involved, I got such a kick out of it. BRAVO!!! to all three of you you were awesome my dear.

  21. vito  |   Posted on May 4th, 2008

    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?

  22. laurrie  |   Posted on May 5th, 2008

    hey adam, i agree with all the positive people here. my husband i love the commerical. we thought you were his son because you look just like meatloaf. but i have to say, life is not about money you make or have in a bank account or the looks you have, but where you want to go in life. your on your way to a great dream in life, and don’t look at the negative people but fullfill what some wished they could have. some people are either are born in a famous family or your not. but where you stand, your on a great dream that you have set out to accomplish. you just keep doin what your doin, and may all your wishes come true! you have more out there then just a commerical, way to go, adam!

  23. William  |   Posted on May 5th, 2008

    Notice how all the people posting praise state over and over again how amazed they are that Adam looks like Meatloaf’s son? Like they just can’t believe that the casting crew could find two people who look similar. God, you people are so stupid. I’m shocked that you were able to figure out how to post here, much less turn off the nascar and American Idol and find the on button for that big box known as a “computer”. Your kids must be dumb as fuck. Don’t get me started on all the retards who think Adam actually posted that comment here.

  24. Jennifer  |   Posted on May 5th, 2008

    haha. so that guy was a dick. but. personally i LOVE the commercial. i think it might be the greatest commercial i have ever seen. keep up the good work =]

  25. Linda-Marie Kennedy  |   Posted on May 5th, 2008

    Good for you Alan.

    I happened to LOVE the commercial. I am a longtime Meatloaf fan, so nice to see him again. And I think the commercial is very well done. I also think you are a very talented young man.

    Don’t ever let negative people (idiots) get you down. They usually lash out only due to their own jealousy and ignorance. Enough said.

    I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL…..I DIDN’T KNOW THAT WAS TIFFANY BUT I LOVE THE KID….

  31. Jill  |   Posted on May 6th, 2008

    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.

  32. 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?

    • Trix  |   Posted on May 8th, 2008

      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.

  33. The Law  |   Posted on May 7th, 2008

    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.

    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.

  54. Adam  |   Posted on Aug 23rd, 2008

    This is the most perfect commercial I have ever seen. It brings me so much joy, though I’m not going to buy a go phone still.

  55. Veronica X  |   Posted on Oct 27th, 2008

    I love the commercial so much I put it on my desktop and whenever I am down I play it and laff. It’s great!!!
