10 Famous Funny DirecTV Commercials

I put together ten funny ads from the famous DirecTV campaigns by the great Grey NY advertising agency. Their advertising is so hilarious, their storytelling so amazing and their punchlines are so witty, it was hard to chose the best. That’s why this video contains more than just the usual top 10. No wonder, many of the commercials became memes and catphrases and there are a lot of remakes, parodies, and spoof videos by the viewers and creators uploaded to YouTube, Twitter etc. Tell me in a comment which one you like the best. I will include your vote in the ranking at the end of this text and in the pinned comment below the video to see which commercial is #1. These adverts are included: 1. “Don’t Have Your House Explode“ from 2012 by Grey Global (“Get rid of Cable“, “Switch to DirecTV“) 2. “Head Bang“ from 2017 by Grey Global with Nathan Inzerillo (“Some people still like cable. Just like some people like...“) 3. “Recording Conflict: More Annoying Than“ with the “Dentist“ scene for the “DirecTV Genie“ (“Cable is more annoying than“, “Cable is worse than“, “DirecTV is better than“) 4. “Don’t Wake Up In A Roadside Ditch“ from 2012 (“When you get angry“, “Eyepatch“) 5. “Wet Bags“, also called “Wet Grocery Bags“, “Bad hair cut“ from 2017 (“DirecTV has been rated number 1 in customer satisfaction over cable“) 6. “Opulence, I has it“, also called “Russian Guy“ from 2010 with Timothy V. Murphy (that one became a meme, the “More on the Facingbook“ is a nice ending) 7.
