Swiftcover.com – Car Insurance with Iggy Pop

28 January 2009 by Silky

Like many of the stars of 80′s TV shows who have had their series cancelled, Skeletor has fallen on hard times. Unable to find a proper job on “civvie street”, Snake Mountain has fallen into disrepair and God only knows when he last changed Panthor’s litter tray.

So poor old Skeletor has had bend over a think of Eternia while the man sticks it to him:

Not really.

This is, in fact, the horrifying sight of, the now 113 year old, Iggy Pop whoring his bag of bones for swiftcover.com car insurance.

Some folks on t’internet have claimed that, following the Johnny Rotten/Country Life butter affair, this advert sounds the death knell of punk.

Others refuse to believe that Iggy Pop, an icon of this anti-establishment rock music genre, could throw his principles out the window and flog car insurance?

What has he become? Some sort of stooge?

Anyways, if punk is dead (which it is) then, from the looks of him, I’m fairly certain Iggy Pop won’t be far behind.

“I’m selling you time.” Iggy tells us.

“Get a life!” Iggy emplores us.

If only poor old Iggy Pop would listen to his own advice and make better use of the precious little time he seems to have left and not churn out any more of this guff.

    This advert is shit… pure and simple…

  • Said on the 29 January 2009

    Hahaha, I was wondering if you’d ever post this piece of shit advert. Everything about it is just annoying.

    I hate seeing that prats face every time I change the channel!!

  • Said on the 29 January 2009

    rock and roll huh?

    of course iggy can’t find his birth certificate – paper does tend to disintegrate fairly easily after hundreds of years

  • Said on the 29 January 2009

    Of course this ad is doomed to failure in the light of other current car insurance ads. Far better surely to have invented a joke website called say—www.comparetheferret.com. Naturally to make it work the presenter would need to have a ludicrous, heavy foreign accent. I think it could work though.

  • Said on the 29 January 2009

    Is that Iggy Pop?!! I thought it was a scarecrow on speed…..

  • Said on the 30 January 2009

    I saw Iggy Pop live a couple of years ago. I’m fairly certain he pissed himself on stage. Suddenly I was very aware that I was watching a gurning old man writhing about and screaming. If I hadn’t been a bit trashed, I probably would have felt uncomfortable about it all.

  • Said on the 30 January 2009

    They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel now. You know it because it’s when “celebrities” start to crop up in every ad for a certain thing in this case insurance. Insurance has never been, and never will be sexy, cool, hip, any of those things. Just fucking drop the ads already.

    I have an idea for a new car insurance ad, the fat cunt from the “act on CO2″ ad is sitting on his sofa with one of the broads from Sheila’s Wheels. Bloke turns on the telly… *wham* fucking giant hammer blasts out of the screen and smashes his face in. This just about sums up insurance.

  • Said on the 30 January 2009

    this advert actually scares my son , he runs out fo the room when it comes on , and u have to admit that is a very strange and disturbing advert

  • Said on the 31 January 2009

    the rage this advert fills me with resulted in me seeing if others are offended by it. since typing swiftcover advert hate into google i realised i’m from alone.

    truly awful

  • Said on the 31 January 2009

    Pretty much this guy has always been a talentless arse repeating himself like a flatulent pullet. It is surprising he has been spared selling insurance for so long
    I guess a lot of people seeing Pop think oh I thought he was dead
    certainly his act was even 10 years ago when I lsat saw him

  • Said on the 1 February 2009

    My God, this advert is really getting on my nerves. Listening to Iggy Pop ranting on about loving his damn car and telling us to get a life is bad enough. But having to watch his flabby moobs bouncing around on his wrinkly body is enough to make me want to upchuck my lunch. IGGY GET A LIFE (or at least a bra!!!)

  • Said on the 1 February 2009

    The ad is disgusting, some old man with dried out elephant skin draped over a bag of bones talking absolute nonsense.
    As soon as this ad comes on, which unfortunatley is way, way too often I have to turn over especialy when we are eating
    This ad has had the opposite effect with me, even if swift have the cheaper quote there is no way I’ll take it.
    Why do the powers to be ban funny ads like the microsoft xbox ad and allow shite like this ad is beyond me

  • Said on the 5 February 2009

    Swiftcover definately wouldn’t cover poor Iggy as clearly stated in their exceptions with the reference to his profession as an ‘entertainer’ This is clearly a case of false advertising and misrepresentation.

    Perhaps Rebecca should have said: Please send all complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority at http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/how_to_complain/complaints_form/

  • Said on the 6 February 2009

    Even worse is swiftcover sponsor Sci-fi on SKY. Which means at the start and end of any sci-fi show and at the start and end of every ad break you get him babbling away.
    So lets say I watch a Stargate double. That means 16 instances(3 ad breaks in an hour show plus the start and end) in a two hour pediod. God damn overkill…. Please no one ever use swiftcover ever ever ever ever….

  • Said on the 8 February 2009

    Here is the most Truthful Youtube take on Iggys Swiftcover advertisement:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvp-LFJ9GFc

    Oh the Irony….

  • Said on the 10 February 2009

    This advert has absolutely no aim to it…it completely diverges from its planned path of selling insurance and generally leaves me and i assume anyone else who views it confused as to whether someone has just dropped LSD into their drink.
    Beyond its creepiness the actual result of their attempt at being down with the kids (fyi swiftcover: no one, let alone kids care about car insurance being cool…cus its not!) its just a completely botched job of using a celebrity face to boost sales.

    One final thing…why the hell is this advert sponsoring sci-fi on sky?! how is it related in the slightest?! God, Rupert Murdoch really wasn’t paying attention in that ad schedule meeting.

    This advert annoys me to such an extent i actually came online to find others who hate it…this is what this piece of s**t has done to me…made me a sad complaining baglady!

    Rant over…

  • Said on the 10 February 2009

    goes to show that fame or money doesn’t make you look better when you get older.
    not an ad that compels you to ring swift.
    perhaps they think that if your stoned you won’t bother to ring them after an incident.

  • Said on the 11 February 2009

    I’m glad to see so many others also find this ad disturbing and annoying.
    If anything this ad with Iggy puts me off buying insurance from swiftcover. I will avoid them like hell if I can. Unless of course they were to give away free insurance, then I may think about it for a second.

    And as Felix on 5th Feb (see above) points out, this is false advertising. Hope someone takes this advert off the air….soon. and I hope swiftcover are reading these valuable comments.

    Also, the whole sweatiness thing really doesn’t appeal. Ewwwwww.

  • Said on the 11 February 2009

    I wrote an email to the feedback address of Swiftcover.com.

    I got a response from the Marketing Director who said that she hoped that this ad will grow on me! Nooooooooo, I don’t want anything to do with Iggy growing on me!

  • Said on the 11 February 2009

    I find the use of the anarchism symbol quite enraging…

  • Said on the 12 February 2009

    I love it.

  • Said on the 13 February 2009

    This advert makes me feel sick too.
    He looks like a dead horse thats been found in the desert and then proped up and glazed with vegetable oil.
    What made them think that we want to see this example of decomposition in progress, prance around like a camp baboon…especially when we’re eating.

    oh well, I see the vultures circling him.At least there won’t be another commercial with him in it.

  • Said on the 13 February 2009

    Don’t be so harsh vr, it takes a lot of hard work to have a body like that when your in your eighties.

  • Said on the 18 February 2009

    SImply dreadful. I would never use any company prepared to be so irritating. Actually couldn’t believe that it was Iggy Pop. Thought it had to be a look-a-like and that he wouldn’t sell out – let alone so badly. Look at me everyone, I am a ****head.

  • Said on the 19 February 2009

    this old bag of bones should be put out to pasture !!! absolute crap advert

  • Said on the 19 February 2009

    or melted down for glue….

  • Said on the 24 February 2009

    The ASA are currently investigating this false advertisement as we speak and should in all fairness ban the ad, as it is clearly in breach of the regulations regarding false or misleading adverts.

    Iggy Pop would find to his cost that insuring with Swiftcover is not beneficial to your health or pockets in the long run.

    If he were to make a claim, it would immediately be refused due to their exceptions which include, an entertainer, musician, actor and last but probably not least, the fact that he is not a resident of the U.K. for at least 9 months of the year.

    It is still not too late to lodge a complaint via the following webpage

  • Said on the 24 April 2009

    I REALLY REALLY Hate this advert!!!

    “Maybe im selling car incurance or maybe im selling time” – WTF? you ARE SELLING CAR INSURANCE.

    This advert makes me feel sick watching that malformed old man running arround.

    and what annoys me more than anything else is the fact that on sky 1, 2 and 3 its repeated on every set of adverts start and finnish (8 times an hour !!!)

    I really hope this advert gets canceled soon becouse every time i see it i have to either mute or turn over or shout very loudley at my tv!!!.

  • Said on the 28 April 2009

    This advert is freaking nasty.
    I’m 17 years old so i haven’t a CLUE who this tramp is, (From the band Iggy Pop as i’ve just found out) but he looks like Freddy Kruger on crystal meth.
    I actually HATE this man so much so i googled ‘Ugly man on Sky Car insurance advert’ to see if anyone else wanted to gouge their eyes out with a wooden spoon everytime they saw it.
    i can see i’m not alone in this.
    And Felix’s comment reminds me of one of those random Family Guy side-scenes.
    Lol.

  • Said on the 28 April 2009

    I’m 65 just like Iggy but my body isn’t as nice as his.

  • Said on the 28 May 2009

    Finally, a bunch of likeminded. I watch lots of scifi on Sky and am thoroughly fed up by Iggy Pop. It is an effective way of making be stay clear of Switfcover forever!

    Never mind the points others have made about this having no relation to the product and that Iggy would never be able to get cover from stupid Swiftcover.

    On the bright side, this means that I make an effort to mute the TV during commercial breaks, right to the moment where the regular programming resumes. Way to go, Sky!

  • Said on the 31 May 2009

    I HATE this advert, that man in it and SWIFT COVER. I will NEVER buy anything from them ever again becouse of this advert I will also make sure that knowone i know EVER buyes anything from them also.

    As for scifi on sky – I cannot watch it anymore becouse this advert ruins it (its on every break and has been for atleast 2 months now?) PLEASE sky get a new sponser for scifi or im going to cancel. I mean how many times are they going to show this piece of shit???

    Distrubed.

  • Said on the 31 May 2009

    OOOh Jake , I bet Swift Cover and Sky are shitting themselves now.

    Please make it stop, ive not watched sky for like 6 months, because of that ziggy kunt.

  • Said on the 11 July 2009

    ive just watched it again unmuted to see if there is anything i can actually like about it but i cant, its fuking shit, ugly scrawny bellend spouitng his mouth off about shite insurance he cant even get off them himself,

    its now on my avoid list along with that safestyle wanker with his BOGOF offer you buy one you get one free i say you buy one you get one free FUCK OFF WITH IGGY please !

  • Said on the 20 July 2009

    ARGH! This shit advert is back on again. Why the hell is Iggy in a car insurance ad if he CAN’T EVEN FUCKING BUY IT?!
    Get a life, get Swift Covered? No, I’m gonna rephrase that. Get a life, get the fuck off the TV and stop shoving shit adverts on our screens!!

    On No! I thought that posting silly comments about advertisements would really make the ad men sit up and take notice, in short make a difference! Neil’s comment shows me how sad I am. I’m off back to http://www.lookhowlittleyourwillyis.com – at least there they take me seriously.

  • Said on the 9 August 2009

    WTF Neil

    ” Why don’t you sad ,no-life flat liners just switch over to the BBC?
    Why put yourself through it?”

    obviously you dont have sky so stick to your 5 channel black and white portable in the living room,

    but as me and many others have sky or just think the BBC is shite and dont want to watch songs of praise… we want to watch the other channels, scifi for instance is sponsered by swift so hes there all day, and like i said hes a crawny bellend spouting his mouth off making people sick with his greasy body and poofter glitter , and i like commenting on things i dont like,

  • Said on the 10 August 2009

    I am nearly 40 and I have never heard of this guy!

    According to Wikipedia, Iggy Pop was in a group called the Stooges?!?

    The Stooges, I thought those three were all dead, and who was he, the one with the big horn or the one who got hit on the head a lot?

    No, I think it is cool to see that they make adverts for the pensioners. Enough yoof already!!!

  • Said on the 22 August 2009

    Yeah, like he’s really worried about all the negitive remarks your all leaving, whilst he’s laughing all the way to the bank, thousends of pounds the richer, and again here he is all these years later right in everybodies face in 2009 some 30 years after he first entered the punk sceen, good on him, wish I could do the same.

    I was behind a bus with his ugly fucking mug staring at me for 20 mins last night, I really did want to put my foot down a total the bus.

  • Said on the 7 January 2010

    Fuck, Swiftcover now have a new ad on our screens with Iggy driving a car and there’s this really DISTURBING puppet of him sitting in the passenger seat. I thought the previous Swiftcover ads were gross but this new one is FUCKING DISGUSTING! I fucking hate the sweaty look of Iggy! Get this shit off my TV NOW!!

  • Said on the 8 January 2010

    @ AD Hater 2.0: Please Please Please!!! tell me thats not true! honestly this advert was the bain of my life a few months back I HATED it beyond anything. I dont want to see some malformed old man with stupid long hair running arround like a nutter every single set of fucking adverts!

  • Said on the 8 January 2010

    @Daniel Newton: True. Saw it too. almost as bad as the original. Looks like an attempt at copying the Vauxhall (I think) ads with the woman and the ugly dolls. This time with an ugly man and an uglier doll. And there is no point to the ad either. Just meaningless blabber (sort of like this comment)…

  • Said on the 8 January 2010

    One would think that after hundereds of complaints about the previous series of adverts (i.e. mindless drivel) Swiftcover would get the message……….

    I mean these adverts are so ugly, “Am i selling car insurance or am I selling time” what? “Get a life, Get swiftcover” piss off!

    I really dont want to see a malformed geriatric arsehole running arround my tv screen covered in oil blurting out “get a life” every time the break comes on during corrie!

    Swiftcover better take then hint and swiftly get this shit off my telly before I see it!

  • Said on the 8 January 2010

    Never a Stooges fan. But this is the most hysterical thing I’ve seen in a long time. Go Iggy

  • Said on the 16 January 2010

    NOOOO! I can confirm a second advert with Icky Poop on a Golf Course with a waste cote on and nothing underneath i.e. his leathery wrinkled belly is hanging out.

    I mean please Swiftcover fuck off, you toured me with these adverts at the beginning of the year when you decided to sponsor Sky-Fi on Sky 1 (rather appropriate for Iggy actually) – I actually rang up Sky and canceled by subscription because of seeing this literally 8 times an hour none stop for 3 months – honestly no exaggeration.

    Swiftcover has blatantly ran out of marketing ideas for yet another bloody car insurance company and decided to use the doll.

    Honestly I feel sorry for anyone still with Sky who is paying £35+ per month to watch nothing but bloody adverts!

  • Said on the 25 January 2010

    “One would think that after hundereds of complaints about the previous series of adverts (i.e. mindless drivel) Swiftcover would get the message……….”

    Oh, would one? But wait! One doesn’t work for swiftcover does one? (does one work?) So one doesn’t get a share of the squillions of pounds swiftcover made last year or get a sniff of the huge amount of coverage it got (I bet that grates, what with one being a no-mark). So the ‘hundereds’ (yep, SIC) of people who complained pale into insignificance compared with the thousands of people who bought the insurance!

    So Daniel “Swiftcover better take then hint and swiftly get this shit off my telly before I see it!” and AdHater 2.0 “This makes me NEVER EVER want to use their site!” – they don’t care what one thinks. They are not listening to one.

    People power. On a blog. Read by 12 people! Not quite Tiananmen Square.

  • Said on the 25 January 2010

    Dear Iggy (Arse-hole above) your obviously in love with Icky Poop – thats the only logical reason I can think of that anyone would want to watch a malformed old man running around half naked.

    It’s so funny how some people are such hypocrites yet they don’t even know it, you for instance are obviously just like the rest of us who took time to find this site and submit a comment

    As for swiftcover.com – They don’t (or did not) even cover musicians when they started using Icky Poop – More lies.

    Feel free to post another witty amusing rant, On a blog, Read by 12 people….

  • Said on the 26 January 2010

    Hey Dan

    Thanks for the permission to respond (phew, I was worried there that you wouldn’t let me, seeing as you’re so powerful). Yes, I actually think the Iggy Pop ads are quite funny, but then I don’t get bent out of shape by pretend things like adverts.

    But hey, I really like this site – I love seeing all the shitty ads and all the sarky comments, particularly the funny ones when people have spent time thinking up a response, rather than just using the 30 seconds when the boss isn’t watching to spew out their bile at their lives not working out as they had dreamed of so they end up working in a dead end job.

    But the thing that is almost as funny as the bad ads are the people who think that advertisers and creatives in their Mercs, BMWs and Lexi, Paul Smith suits and Alpine chalets are going to take any notice of the people who say “if you don’t get your multi-million pound advert for your multi-million pound company off my TV, I won’t buy your stuff!”

    Boo and indeed hoo.

  • Said on the 26 January 2010

    Again with the Hippocrates, you my friend have obviously taken the time to find this site and post two comments haven’t you?

    You must be very lonely in this world if you find it ok to watch a geriatric malformed old man running round your TV screen half naked screaming “Get a life”

    I personally don’t give a flying fuck if an ‘advertising exec’ reads my rants on this site or not, it’s a good place to vent anger on the likes of ‘GoCompare’ (your probably a fan of that too?)

    Boo, Hiss………………….

  • Said on the 26 January 2010

    Hey Danny Boy

    Good to hear from you again.

    What’s with the Greek? Yes, I took the time to find this site and post comments because I like the site and like posting comments (I see you’re struggling with the concept of enjoyment).

    Why am I lonely? Why is it not okay to like the ad? (It’s not like I’m burning down orphanages). You obviously watch the ad quite a lot to be able to vividly recreate it in the form of words, so why deny the pleasure?

    Not wild about GoCompare, to be honest, but it doesn’t make me angry in the way it seems to make you froth and thrash. But chill out Dan-Dan, life’s too short. Have you tried turning off the TV, reading a book or, like good old Iggy says, Get a Life. What about golf – I see Iggy plays.

    You might like it.

    this is the most disgusting advert I have ever seen in my life, the man is a disgrace to humanity and should not be allowed to polute my screen he makes me feel sick.

  • Said on the 29 January 2010

    I can’t believe this person above called ‘iggy’ is actually defending this bollocks.

    Who wants to switch on the tv and be confronted by an old wrinkled droopy man, covered in oil with stupid bleached long hair and no shirt on? who then proceeds to run around the screen shouting “get a life” it’s completely beyond me, I don’t care if the person who made this advert is reading, but I hope one day I get to meet him/her and punch its fucking daylights out for subjecting me to such heinous adverts.

    Like a poster above I was completely unable to watch Sky 1 for months when this rubbish first came on in Jan/Feb 09 – It was 8 times an hour that you where seeing this malformed old horse running around, apparently thousands complained both due to the frequency of the advert and the indecent expose – I cant believe Swiftcover would even considerer brining this back….

  • Said on the 4 February 2010

    Saw this again last night while I had friends visiting from Australia – They where immediately shocked how this advert was allowed to be shown in fact one of them actually thought it was “completely inappropriate and disgusting” – of course referring to icky poop.

  • Said on the 8 February 2010

    I feel sorry for the old dude. There’s no denying that when the movie trainspotting was releases in the early nineties the music Inc iggy pops bit was awesome, but that was in the early nineties it’s 2010 now…. Next they will have David Bowie doing ring tone ads!! Shame I think.

  • Said on the 8 February 2010

    WOW! The Aussies hate it! Well, let’s ban it then!

    Shocked! “Completely inappropriate and disgusting” – blimey, let’s take to the streets!

    Nights in at your house sound like a real blast.

    Know one wants to see a horrid old man running around half nude with his wrinkeled deformed bear belly hanging out – I don’t care whether its Iggy Pop or Prince Williams – Its just NOT NICE

    Also you obviosly don’t have sky, these adverts used to be repeated TWICE every 11 minuets on every single channel that’s just under 21 times an hour!

    Oh dear, it appears someone has too much time on their hands…..

    and er, close the door on your way out.

    Daniel Newton – I had time to count that you have posted 11 times on this one thread alone! Seems to me that you have rather a lot of spare time Yourself!

    And I slammed the door on my way out FUCK FACE!

    I think Iggy Pop selling car insurance is pretty punk – it makes me laugh anyway. Johnny Rotten selling butter as well (apparently he did it to finance a new Public Image Limited album instead of giving over control to a record label in return for the funds – which sounds fair enough) http://www.facebook.com/getalife.swiftcover?ref=nf#!/video/video.php?v=104031609635620&ref=mf

    I loved the ad so much I went out and bought two Iggy albums.

    Well, just fucking fantastic. This shite ad is back on our screens once again! FUCK OFF IGGY POP ALONG WITH YOUR STUPID UGLY PUPPET!

    oh for fuck sake this utter fucking bollocks is back again! I thought we where well and truly past having to see this wrinkled fucking bag of shite running around half nude with his beer belly hanging down.

    So far I have only ever seen this on Sky 1, 2 and 3 so hopefully this cunt won’t be shown every 10 fucking mins on every single channel like it used to be!

    Oh fucking wonderful! Now there are Swiftcover ads on Spotify. On TV was bad enough but I don’t want to hear that stupid Iggy puppet while I’m listening to music! FUCK OFF!
