Question: What do you get when you put two of the biggest brands in the world (American Idol and Guitar Hero) together with one of the most well-known movie scenes in history (Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear in Risky Business)?

Answer: Two really lame commercials

Don’t believe me?  Check out both commercials in the YouTube video below.

These ads featuring the top two finalists of the seventh season of American Idol, David Cook (the ultimate winner) and David Archuleta, debuted during the finale of American Idol this week.

So what do you think?
