DIRECT TV: "Get Rid Of Cable" - The Full Compilation

Each and every stinkin' one of DirectTV's 2012 "Get Rid Of Cable" commercials, including the current one made on Twitter! ☺
Remember, folks:
Don't get bodyslammed by a lowland gorilla.
Don't reenact scenes from Platoon with Charlie Sheen.
Don't become a local fisherman they call "Big Fatty Face."
Don't have your house explode.
Stop taking in stray animals.
Don't have a grandson with a dog collar.
Don't sell your hair to a wig shop.
Don't fall into a dinner party.
Don't wake up in a roadside ditch.
Don't have your dad get punched over a can of soup.
Don't attend your own funeral as a guy named Phil Shiffley.
Don't drive into a pizzeria that makes great baked ziti.
Don't chase imaginary butterflies and do something highly illegal.
And most important:
Don't get hit by an ice cream truck but then fade away from existence anyways because your parents never ended up doing it!!
Get rid of cable and...well, you know. 😉

When you crash through the roof of a hotel and land on top of Howard Hughes, Hughes suffocates under your weight and dies. When Hughes suffocates under your weight and dies, he doesn't a chance to found the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (the company that would eventually create DirecTV). When he doesn't get a chance to found the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (the company that would eventually create DirecTV), there's no one to pay you for thinking up these commercials. When there's no one to pay you for thinking up these commercials, you get depressed. When you get depressed, you start sniffing glue. When you start sniffing glue, you want to get closer to the source. When you want to get closer to the source, you get a job in a glue factory. When you get a job in a glue factory, you steal a 55-gallon drum of airplane glue. When you steal a 55-gallon drum of airplane glue, you trip and the drum tips over, spilling glue everywhere.

When you have adventures, you wander into abandoned buildings. When you wander into abandoned buildings, you fight a wanted criminal. When you fight a wanted criminal, you bring him to justice.

When you parody DirecTV commercials on a video about them, you make people laugh. When you make people laugh, you think you're good at making people laugh. When you think you're good at making people laugh, you try stand-up. When you try stand-up, you get heckled. When you get heckled, you snap and assault your heckler. When you snap and assault your heckler, you get sued, for a lot. When you get sued for a lot, you need a quick way to make a lot. When you need a quick way to make a lot, you start a meth lab. When you start a meth lab, you need to find someone to sell your meth. When you need to find someone to sell your meth, you get involved with the cartel. When you get involved with the cartel, you fail to meet deadlines. When you fail to meet deadlines, the cartel gets angry.

You have no idea how much I appreciate you posting this compilation. These commercials make me so happy. My favorites will always be the "don't wake up in a roadside ditch" and "don't attend your own funeral as a guy named Phil Schiffly" commercials. Who else is with me in thinking that these commercials are probably developed by DIRECTV employees writing sentences starting with "you" and then followed by an affirmative verb, to start their work days, and then putting those sentences in a hat to be randomly selected later?

[@jesseincognito.]

I love the Charlie sheen one

[@sammillson6918]

I came up with an idea for one: When you can't find the shows you want to watch, you don't watch TV. When you don't watch TV, you have time to think. When you have time to think, you get existential. When you get existential, you look up conspiracy theories. When you look up conspiracy theories, you unravel conspiracies. When you unravel conspiracies, you need to broadcast your message. When you need to broadcast your message, you sing about the Illuminati on a cooking show. When you sing about the Illuminati on a cooking show, two guys in black suits drug you. And when two guys in black suits drug you, you get sued by a singer called Weird Al. Don't get sued by a singer called Weird Al. Get rid of cable, and upgrade to Direct TV.

When you have cable, you get bored. When you get bored, you disobey quarantine. When you disobey quarantine, you go on a hike. When you go on a hike, you find other people on the trail. When you find other people on the trail, you catch covid-19. When you catch covid-19, you become isolated in the hospital. And when you become isolated in the hospital, the dog takes a dump on the floor. Don't let the dog take a dump on the floor. Switch from cable and get DIRECTV now.
