# Anti-Rockstar Ads The VH1 Anti-Rock Star Commericals are Confusing and Downright Odd By Allison Love | Published 2010-06-03 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vh1-anti-rock-star References: [coloribus](http://www.coloribus.com/adsarchive/tv-commercials/vh1-anti-rock-star-650523/) & [vh1](http://www.vh1.com/) VH1 is one of the weirder channels on the boob-tube, and the new VH1 'Anti-Rock Star' commercial definitely confirms it. The ad features an [Edward Norton-in-'Fight-Club' voiceover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bear-fight-whiskey-ad) discussing the world’s population of rock stars to anti-rock stars. Then, one day, the two opposites meet each other and some [weird adult imitation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign) of naked babies urinating on each other happens. This isn’t a joke. The commercial just gets really weird, then abruptly ends.
