Okay so let's walk through this for a brief second..

1. Dude pays his account on his laptop so, everything obviously is working
2. Dude sets an appointment from his tablet....because everything is working
3. Dude checks his connection status from his phone and guess what? Everything is still working, see #'s 1 & 2

Don't you think the dude should have checked the status of his connection prior to making a payment and scheduling and appointment?

Or do you always successfully use the internet then check to see if it's working?

Can you believe it's been a year already since they released that "Up for Whatever" campaign.

I personally hate the Esurance commercials. I love how the whole commercial Krasinski is saying in his arrogant voice, "don't you hate all those insurance commercials that say 'save here, save here', without actually telling you how?" He then proceeds to tell you that Esurance is different and that they will "save you money" without actually saying how, exactly what he was just calling out the other companies for doing.

Hard to tell from the lo-def screen shots, but he's just paying his bill, not signing up for service. And the managing appointments does come a bit out of left field, but maybe the client said they needed to work that feature in, and they all assumed it was a service call to add a box or some other shit, rather than sign-up.

But, the fact that a lot of you guys took it as he's signing up means it's a miss, logically. Maybe you're tuned to see it that way as most cable/directv ads are to get new customers so the message is usually about sign-ups.

It's possible this only ran on current Xfintiy customers' feeds.


Here's a beef: I have xfintiy and hate it to death. Grumbled about how the other two extra boxes weren't able to play DVR'd content because they weren't communicating properly with the main box (yeah it's set upthis way-- sucks)

Put up with it for months then finally called them to see what the issue was. They said somebody needed to come out and switch out the boxes. The guy actually just put in an amplifier where the feed comes in.

I get my bill and they charged me 70 bucks for the service call. WTF? Because they never set it up properly in the first place? If it was directv they would have fixed it AND given me a credit for the time my service was less than ideal.

You bet I'm calling this assholes tomorrow and get a credit or I'll drop them. I'm no hairy-arms Rob Lowe.

But seriously, I'm talking about these Christmas ads that Ford made this past year.

http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Eyd/ford-dream-big-black-friday-1000-amazon-gift-card

Kids call up Santa's workshop to talk about the sweet deals that Ford has? What? Fucking what?

This one I just posted makes no sense whatsoever. Why the fuck is this girl calling Santa just to say, "BLACK FRIDAY DEALS ON CARS!" There are thousands of better ways to put Santa and children (two heart-warming things around Christmas) into your car commercials. Maybe the girl wants a Ford truck for her parents, and Santa's like, "Sorry, Claire. I don't make that shit in my toy shop because you're a child and can't fucking drive yet, you dumb bitch. But if you get a fucking job maybe you can afford to buy your parents a new Ford with this sweet Black Friday deal."

That's far better than a girl calling up Santa just to spit out Ford's big sale jargon.

And that elf can go die in a fire. Elf is annoying. Fuck that guy.

Rob Lowe is fucking NOT funny. I hate him so much now.

The first one he did where he was "less attractive" Rob Lowe was really stupid and infuriating.

I'm not what most people would call ugly, but I'm definitely not attractive. I'm still young and have all my hair, but I'm skinny and gangly, and I have deep-set eyes that kind of make me look like a zombie when I'm not wearing my glasses. If it weren't for my chiseled cheek bones, I'd totally be hideously ugly.

I understand that the world is a superficial place, but it certainly doesn't help when you have dickbags at DirecTV who write these commercials for assholes like Rob Lowe to go right out and say, "If you're attractive and beautiful, you're just a better person. Period."

Yeah, but women get to wear makeup. Instant fix. As long as you have a great body and an evenly-shaped face, makeup will make any woman look good.

A frighteningly large amount of heterosexual men wear make up.

But I digress.

The most important thing in the world to a woman is your ability to take care of your shit. Regardless of whether she needs you to take care of her shit, she needs to know you are capable of taking care of your shit.

Drag a dead bear around with you everywhere you go and you can look like Quasimoto and still get the princess.
