His Name is Robert Paulson, His name is Adam Cagley

So, the dad in this AT&T Go Phone commercial is Meatloaf; the mom is Tiffany. No big to-do. The son, however, who I first thought was Meatloaf's son, is not Meatloaf's son.



Actor: Adam Cagley
Commercial(s): AT&T Go Phone
Previous work: "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody"

Smooth Scrubs

Cabbage! And Smoothie ... from Jack in the Box! And running shorts! Oh, ewww. Sorry, Cabbage. Not much more to say after that.





His character's nickname in "Scrubs" is Cabbage, in case you were wondering.

Actor: Shaughn Buchholz
Commercial(s): Jack in the Box fruit smoothies
Previous work: "Scrubs" and "Joey"
Fun(ny) fact: Cabbage is also the pronunciation of CABG, which, in medicalese, stands for coronary artery bypass graft

Let’s Get Fruity, Let's Get Loomy

Fruit of the Loom. Lots of actors. Lots of funny commercials. And people dressed as fruit. Aaaaaannnd, plenty of people to name.

Oh, and I am wearing "FTL," as it says on the waistband, right now. Thought you could use a visual.

The leaf guy (is he parsely?) will be named upon figuring it out.

She Hates Non-VoIP and Her, um…Self

This lady has a problem with her phone service. She also apparently has a problem with being well endowed, as witnessed in "Chappelle's Show" when she wanted to get rid of her endowed-edness. Oh, and feminine products that aren’t thugged out; can you argue with her, really? Who doesn’t like Roc-a-Pads?

Video to come when I can find a suitable version.

Actress: Liz Beckham
Commercial(s): Vonage
Previous work: “Chappelle’s Show” and "The Ski trip"

You Say DiGiorno, I Say Di-Juno

There have been several questions about this guy. Most people probably saw him in a movie called "Juno." You might have heard of it. Anyway, he was the lab partner who had a "love spat" with his girlfriend/lab partner. Where you're most likely seeing him now is the DiGiorno pizza commercial where he plays a delivery kid at a party.

Video to come when I can find an adequate version.

Actor: Steven Christopher Parker
Commercial(s): DiGiorno and Snickers
Previous work: "Juno" and "ER"
Fun(ny) fact: He plays another pizza guy in one of his new films, "3 Days Blind"

There's Only One October Gonzo...?

The newest MLB Playoffs commercials are here, and thankfully, there is no Dane Cook this time. Instead, we get October Gonzo, so he is called on the MLBlogs.com site. He's much cooler than Cook, and by far less annoying and spastic.

Actor: Rick Gonzalez
Commercial(s): MLB Playoffs "There's only one October" and Sprite
Previous work: "Old School" and "Reaper"
Bonus material: About October Gonzo
