When you wait for the cable company, you find that there is no cable.

I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...

There’s no cable? Good. Switch to DirectTV. You won’t need it.

When you’re waiting for the cable company, you’ll sit down on the couch.

When you hear a creaking noise, you grab a baseball bat.

When you grab a baseball bat, you accidentally smash and damage your precious grandfather clock passed for many generations.

When you lose a way to make money back, you decide to scam some idiots to regain that money.

When you're a con man, you're good at three-card monte and pyramid schemes.

Don't scam people. That's just real monster. Get rid of Bitcoin- err... I mean Cable and upgrade to DirecTV.

The future of TV is now.


When your cable disconnects, you can't watch TV anymore.

When you take up weird hobbies, you get new friends with the same hobbies as you do.

And it turns out one of the friends has DirectTV! No need for waiting for the cable company anymore!

When you start a turf war, you get in to an Edit War with some guy over the Get Rid of Cable article and realise it’s spelt DirecTV, not DirectTV.

Don’t get our name wrong, get rid of cable. Switch to DirecTV and it will be all OK.

When the set-top box explodes, you buy a decoder that is said to last for years.

When you crash through a mall with your car, you get adult novelties from Spencer’s stuck on your windshield.
