The Request Line Is Blowing Up

Jump to Comments

A practice recap of the weekend is possibly coming at a later date.  Right now, we need content, not just links.  Joe Nick, this one is for you.

Ben Lyons was telling me earlier about a sports columnist suggesting alternate movie scenes for those new Direct TV ads.  For anyone who hasn’t seen these commecials, essentially they recreate a familiar scene from a movie or show, and make it into an ad for Direct TV.  Now the process of suggesting alternate scenes, can be hilarious.

First, you must watch one of the legit clips.  Here, choose your own adventure:  step on the beach with Pam, Doc Brown and his flux capacitor, Spock and Kirk, or fighting Aliens.

Now you have a frame of reference and free reign.  Let your mind wander.  With all the talk of Top 5’s of everything this weekend, I figure this is a great category.  Let’s do this.

Top 5 Alternate Scenes for Direct TV Ads.

1.  Here is an ‘Oh Shit!’ warning.  Hannibal eats brains, while talking about the benefits of Direct TV or victim talks about it after finishing his meal.

2.  Brutal Arnold scream in Predator.  Gives the ad talk either before or after the scream, comedic value is not sacrificed.

3.  Army of Darkness Boomstick presentation.  ” Shop Smart, shop for Direct TV.”

4.  The Monster Squad, Wolfman crotch kick.  “Wolfman’s got nards!!! And Direct TV has blah blah blah.”

5.  Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, when the guy is about to get his heart ripped out.  Right after the pull his heart from his chest, he could start rambling about Direct TV and how awesome it is.

UPDATE: 5.5.  Lord Voldemort, in Order of the Phoenix when he does the ridiculous rockstar pose.  The montage in Harry’s mind stops and Voldemort calmly talks about Direct TV.  Priceless, trust me.
