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 KZbin, 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. The Settlers, "Neighbors" from 2015 with Tom Parker, Golden Bachelder, Michael Leone, Matt Knudsen, Rowan Smyth and the voice over by Harry Prichett ("We're settlers, we settle for things", "Upgrade to DirecTV")
8. "A Less Attractive Rob Lowe" with Rob Lowe from 2015 - the commercials from this campaign had to be pulled because of a complaint that they couldn't substantiate some of their claims, but Rob Lowe stood by the campagin and is still amazing
9. Rob Lowe, "Super Creepy Rob Lowe" from 2015
10. "On the roof" from 2000 (Free Standard Professional Installation) - I love the line "I love you"
+
11. Hannah and Her Horse, "Hannah Davis and Her Horse Walking" with Hannah Jeter resp. Hannah Davis from 2015, Voice over by Harry Prichett and Jemaine Clement
12. Hannah and Her Horse, "Hannah Davis and Her Horse" with Hannah Jeter resp. Hannah Davis from 2015, Voice over by Harry Prichett and Jemaine Clement

For me it has to be between the lowland gorilla and roadside ditch ads. Those were absolutely hilarious to 10 year old me!

[@rickbowers7292]

I might enjoy the ads a company produces, but funny ads don't mean the service is good. Any satellite service (tv, internet, etc) will be interrupted when it rains. Fine if you only want to watch movies, really really bad if live NCAA football is your thing. I didn't like Dish, and I didn't like DirecTV.

[@DaliborTruhlar]
