This blog is about the Direct TV commercial "Dont Wake Up in a Ditch." Commercials are used to attract the attention of the public so that the company can sell their product. This commercial is funny but there is a meaning behind it. The meaning of this commercial is for people to realize that they do not have to watch the slowness of cable. This commercial is humerous because ot attracts peopl's attention and it makes them want to watch the commercial. With the commercial being viewed by more and more people, the public begins to think that they need to have Direct Tv to make them happy and to fit in with the people around them. Also this commercial tells all those that watch television that if they do not have Direct TV they will have bad things happen to them.
Direct TV commercials are very funny and they are made to make you laugh but they are not based on truth because they tell you that if you do not have Direct TV that you will have very bad luck. This is entirely not true at all, because having a good television does not make you happy or mean that you will have good things happen to you.This is not true so they are saying if you join our company you will be happy and you will have good things happen to you. I think that they make good commercials but they need to be more realistic and use real world incidents and not something that is not true or would happen to a person. So to sum up everything I think Direct TV makes bad commercials because they are not true, and I only watch them because they are funny. One reason the commercials are bad because they do not mention the price of the tv packet or even what kind of channels that is had in the package. Having details about the product is necesary for compaany if they want people to buy their product .

I chose to comment on your post because personally this is one of my favorite Direct TV commercials. I agree that the commercials are not realistic enough. I think if they were more realistic they would have a better chance of selling their product. In contrary, I do believe that the humor of the commercial keeps the listening watching. They want to know what happens next, so to say. I think this one may be a little more effective then some of the others because it is getting closer to being realistic when it talks about taking out your anger. I think that the commercial should also be more based on the product then the story line, this could also make it more effective. Most of the whole commercial is about what happens to the guy, not about the actual product like you stated above. I think that they had good intentions when they started the sequences of what could happen, but I think the more they make the more stupid the commercials become and people begin to just watch them for entertainment purposes.I think that could work for anything though, the more repetitive the line of commercials are, the faster they will become old to people.
