Hothouse - DIRECTV Commercial

[InfiniteLemon]

why not just pause, get your popcorn, and then play once you get back?

[DJKJSeph]

Who the fuck walks around their house watching TV. This is absurd!

[ThinkerThunker]

So DIRECTV creates a virtual movie set, allowing the viewer to move about almost as if they were in the movie? Because if not, this is good old fashioned false advertising :)

[assult878]

What movie would this be from? And like Ultrajd was saying firefighters never enter a burning house alone like that

[ultrajd]

I know its not real and meant to be a dude watching a movie but I dont like this ad that much its not a true representation of how firefighters operate.

[wigzisonfire]

@ultrajd you douche, its a 30 second ad to make directv look interesting its not a true to life documentary on the life and times of firefighters!

[ultrajd]

@wigzisonfire So what? I as a firefighter I dont like it. A firefighters NEVER goes alone even in movies.

THIS MUST BE IN 3D, BECAUSE IT LOOKS GOOD.

[ChrisRedfieldChannel]

jean claude van dam already done it!

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Excellent commercial. People appreciate good advertising damn it

[etoangfavoriteko]

I wish I have that Time Controller.

[eternalgracenote]

Who the fuck would use this feature?? If you're going to watch a movie, you sit down and fucking watch it.

[CamiloSanchez1979]

@eternalgracenote come on, not everybody lives in a room in a basement like you do.

[lionpress999]

@eternalgracenote when you needa take a piss.. you can do so without having to sit there fidgeting like a crack whore junkie waiting for commercials to go on so that you dont miss any part of the movie duhhhh

[degan6]

this is what happens at my house when i watch tv

[browning6104]

where's the VO from the robot commercial? he was cool sounding.

[browning6104]

VO is creepy.

[cevalerio1]

That kid is possessed, so calm

[laughingcrows]

Who writes this crap? Did you intend to lie, are you just stupid or do you expect your customers to be?

Your commercials depict a technology we won't have for a thousand years. It's like TV virtual immersion or something like that.

It's false advertising.

[Datan0de]

@laughingcrows Setting aside the absurdly pessimistic "thousand years" prediction, they're not claiming that DirecTV is fully immersive VR. I don't think any reasonable viewer would presume otherwise. Fantastical elements are common in ads (frogs don't *actually* chant "Bud-wei-ser"). It's not deceptive when those elements are clearly not intended to be taken literally, as in this case.

[morgothFLOW]

FFS! Its not an actual movie... Its a commercial made by MPC.

[fixedupdice]

wow... that kid looks TERRIFIED.

[drakekx250]

Whats this firefighter movie called?

[hpfanatic123]

the kid saved in the fire is the kind who was in the vw darth vader commercial :)
