2008 Direct TV Anti Cable Spot

[GOPJ00]

3 of the actors from the christopher guest movies are on here!

[sraven25]

"I learned this in business school, when I read about business school... in a book."

[808state909]

"we'll get the people with disposable income and make them dispose of it to us!"

[esiosan]

Direct TV is a scam, DO NOT BUY IT! The image flickers, and blurs occasionally while you watch, the programming is horrible, and if you cancel it you'll be charged $20 dollars per additional month of the contract. I tried it for 15 days, and it's horrible, I called for 3 consecutive days and their computers were down so I couldn't cancel, and when I was finally able to cancel, they wanted to charge me $440, now I have to fight them in court. This happens to EVERYONE, DO NOT BUY IT!!!

[estraven2008]

Huh. Have had Direct TV for years, and no problems at all. Have had nothing but cooperation from Customer Service.

[Roney408]

You're wrong.

I have comcast right now,But direc TV is amazing.

[esiosan]

I had to go to BBB and Office of Consumer Affairs, to fight the fee. Once you sign up you have 24 hours to cancel if you are not happy, after that you pay $460. After many refutes, I finally forced DTV to waive my cancellation fee which was hidden in the small print. I have IO atm, and they have JD powers recognition, I'm very happy with the service, programming, and I get triple play for only $97 a month, can't beat that.

Gotta say the business school line is the funniest among all these series of ads.

I love the face the guy makes when the lead qualifies his learning "in a book".

(This ad isn't a shot at business school per se, just the lack of credentials of John Higgin's cable guy character)

[Crashomatic3]

0:08 thats my uncle scott

[briebabyness123]

is it really lol?

[blahdofj]

i love these commercials...and petty comment disputes...

[derektherock42]

Where's the one with the guy saying "oops, looks like someone just leveled the playing field"? That one's funny

[pablitoway]

that's the best one so far and no one's posting it!!

[yal100]

That's the best one. His expression after he says "oops, looks like someone just leveled the playing field" is brilliant!!

[larma7]

That is by far the best one!!!!!

[loll69]

FloridaBoy5 wins by a large margin. Azrael.... if you're 'educated', then why do you have spelling errors? Stay in school kids.

[hobosown]

wheres the one where that guy is like

"oops, looks like someone just leveled the playing field"

[TragicFires]

"We can take the people with disposable income and they can dispose it into us!" Lmao

[danielm7987]

haha these people are the best example of corporate america. they are all idiots. they take the people's ideas below them, fire them and use the idea themselves.

[mitchster666]

people are like sheep...

[tjod123]

ya, now I can watch the same crappy tv shows but in REALLY great definition! I would like to see a revolution in storytelling and content development- hows that for true revolution?

[Azrael138]

how about you pick up a damn book then? or direct something yourself? stop bitching and DO something.

[Azrael138]

How do I get thumbs down for telling somebody to read a book or direct a TV show? Were you all thinking "no no, that's awful advice. Reading is stupid and art is stupid"  ???

[MississaugaKid]

What HD really is is a Digital signal sent in the 16 X 9 Aspect Ratio Format, And 6 X Sharper more Detailed picture than regular TV.

Its basically a more detailed Lifelike expirience

[FloridaBoy5]

He takes a jab at "business schools" too!

[Azrael138]

mmmmm...no. He takes a jab at uneducated business people. Nice try though.

[FloridaBoy5]

that's what you call a joke bud. When somebody makes fun of lawyers, they're taking a jab at lawyers who are uneducated.

It's obvious your a business student, don't get your panties up in a bunch.

[Azrael138]

haha, nope. Graduated with a Computer Science degree. Couldn't care less about business schools or business students, but when somebody is as dim as you I tend to take notice. Don't worry little guy, I'm sure somebody thinks you're clever. Good luck out there.

Also, "When somebody makes fun of lawyers, they're taking a jab at lawyers who are uneducated" makes absolutely no sense and was a horrible analogy (if that's what you were going for).

It's obvious you're not a student of anything.

[FloridaBoy5]

Wrong again, I am a student (Economics) Big ten school. Anyway,

When somebody takes a shot at lawyers:

Calls them greedy, or good-for-nothing or whatever. Are they taking a shot at all lawyers, or the ones that make the news for being inefficient.

When somebody takes a shot at doctors, they're making a joke about the dumb ones.

Just think about it.

Not surprised you didn't get it though. Hey i took Linear Algebra last semster and got an A. Way too tedious of a class though. Ciao!

[Azrael138]

Haha, all of this is very entertaining. There's not much better than a pretentious jackass with too much time on their hands (i.e. you).  Regardless, your entire point is wrong, because the gentleman in the commercial did not go to business school. Quote: "...when I read about business school...in a book."

How is that a jab at business schools? The guy didn't even go! Man, you sure do have a thing for missing details.

[FloridaBoy5]

You know for a second I'm thinking to myself. What do i make of this guy. Should i take him seriously? Then i look on your profile and i see how many people you've pissed off.

People calling you an asshole and a shithead and telling you to go die.

I've decided, your probably not worth my time.

Good day.

[Azrael138]

Thanks little buddy. If you notice, the only people I've pissed off are those who are angry at me for pointing out their flaws. Speaking of flaws, your spelling/grammar skills are spectacularly awful. You're lucky you're in America, where intelligence is one of the least important things.

Also, for somebody who doesn't want to waste their time, you sure seem to be putting a lot of effort into commenting to me. Kinda contradictory, don't ya think? If you're smart you'll accept defeat now.

[FloridaBoy5]

That's how you make a joke, by making crass generalizations. In this case that generalization is about a profession. It's comedy bud. He took a jab at business schools. Had to reply again. Word count ran out.

I like that snarky attitude though, it'll get you far.

Good luck.

[mdr5256]

I barely comment on things, maybe I'm just bored today. I just read that whole back and forth you had with FloridaBoy5. Why do you feel compelled to correct every little thing you read on the internet with a smart ass attitude? Does it make you feel important? Leave people alone. Even if you are educated, because anyone can lie on the internet, it doesn't make you any less of a douche bag.

[Azrael138]

You understand that you're a hypocrite for doing what you just did right? Correcting me for correcting people? Just makin sure. Cuz it made me laugh.

[mdr5256]

Lol. Not as much trying to correct you as expressing my disgust for people like you. Anyway it's back to work for me so you don't have to bother with a reply although I'm sure you will. Good luck with life man seems like yours is tough since this is what you get your kicks from. Peace

[Azrael138]

oh my bad, thanks for correcting me though about the fact that you aren't correcting me.

[DTthe4th]

Correcting mistakes, that's understandable. And no one will ever like you for that. But even the reasonable people won't listen to you cuz ur a jackass.

[Azrael138]

Why would you feel the need to join in DTthewhatever? Does it make you feel special? I mean, this had nothing to do with you.  I'm confused...but thanks for calling me a jackass. It means a lot coming from a guy who can't spell "you're" or "because" correctly.

[DTthe4th]

"You are" welcome, jackass.

[MYPanicAttack]

"they wouldnt know what HD was if it sat on their lap and called them mama" lol
