Score another one for the Brett Ratner-Activision braintrust. Their newest piece of creative featuring Heidi Klum starts out as a Guitar Hero ad and then devolves into a scene from Hotel Erotica. The spot is a step up from the last commercial which gave Alex Rodriguez his first post-season title. (The readers of Complex voted him the biggest douche, barely edging Michael Phelps.)

It features a smoking hot Klum managing to look like she’s enjoying dancing around in her lingerie and pair of tube socks, no small feat considering Ratner is somewhere in the room watching and covered in a thin sheen of sweat. The only problem is that any still frame that doesn’t feature a guitar looks like a CineMax foreplay scene.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer which also includes Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith (who could pass for Will Ferrell’s clone) stating that Guitar Hero has revitalized the music industry and Sting referring to how he never realized tantric tantric sex could get better until he engaged in the practice while performing Nugent’s “Stranglehold.” Well, only one of those statements is true.

Guitar Hero World Tour Ad Hopefully Signals End Of Brett Ratner’s Career

October 24, 2008

kobe_and_brett Guitar Hero World Tour Ad Hopefully Signals End Of Brett Ratners CareerActivision tapped Brett Ratner to produce television spots hyping the release of Guitar Hero World Tour. (Fitting, seeing as Ratner already claimed he named the game.) The spot features Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps and Alex Rodriguez playing Guitar Hero instruments while Kobe Bryant lip syncs Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock And Roll” while they all imitate Tom Cruise in Risky Business. With so much to hate, it’s almost hard to find a place to start tearing this apart.
