DirecTV pulls Rob Lowe ads

[ruxCYtable]

Comcast complained they were inaccurate.

Take a joke, people.

Again, I know I'm in the minority here, but other then the poor decision making Rob Lowe, those commercials were just meh...

What? Companies putting out ads that are inaccurate?

I found them to be only mildly humorous. Just thought it was a little petty of Comcast to complain about it. Come up with something funnier, fight fire with fire!

Those were some of the best commercials on TV

I guess if DirecTV is making unsubstantiated comparisons theerby misleading potential customers, I don't see what is petty about the complaint.

Directv should have put out an ad for the 38 hour wait window spread over 4 days twc gave me last week. That would be complete fact. Before people tell me to switch it's an internet thing not tv.

i liked meat head Rob Lowe. The rest were meh, but still better than 90% of other commercials

We just had a thread about commercial cliches a few weeks ago.

I didn't think they were laugh out loud funny, but slightly amusing. That being said, I think they were effective. People talked about and quoted them often.

Everything sucks after the 500th time that you've seen it.

Rob is better in ads than in movies.

They're not complaining about the Rob Lowe characters. But rather the claims he made about reliability and quality.

I wonder how accurate Comcast's commercial claims are? If I were DirecTV, I'd start unloading both barrels.

And remember this gem from their Customer Service Dept?

We share our home with a few geckos (as do most who live in this area), and actually the little buggers are quite talkative, but they generally don't speak languages that humans understand...except for that one on TV...

I thought they were pretty funny at first, but it's gotten to be a bit much.

That's ok. Directv now has the Hannah Davis commercials
