XFinity - Dish Head Date Night

In Comcast/Xfinity's latest commercial, they try to warn people about the dangers of being a "Dish Head."


First of all, f*** Comcast.  I really can't say that enough.

The point of this commercial is supposed to be that having a satellite dish can hinder your love life.

Is that really the case?  If the man had subscribed to cable, the television would have likely stayed on, and the two of them would have spent a quiet night just watching television.  But since he had the dish, the weather caused the signal to go out, which prompted the woman to suggest getting down to business.

We're supposed to sense her disgust that he doesn't have Xfinity, but it certainly doesn't seem to cool her down much.  She almost seems to be turned on by the fact that he doesn't have Xfinity as she tries to jump his bones just seconds later.

To sum it up: Satellite TV = Poor service = Nookie. If I didn't know better, I might think this was a commercial for satellite.

If he's having trouble with the ladies, I don't think the real problem is that he has satellite TV.  I think the real problem is the fact that HE IS WEARING A GIANT SATELLITE DISH AROUND HIS NECK!

Why is he wearing it?  Are they implying that customers who have satellite TV are forced to wear satellite dishes around their heads?  Because I know that is blatantly false!

Regardless of the reason for the dish, I'd think the guy would be used to it by now, and might have come up with a solution for when he wanted to kiss someone.
Rating - 1 TV - Not only is Xfinity lying about the true satellite TV experience, (customers do NOT actually have to wear satellite dishes around their necks) they're also pretty much promoting their competitors by showing that poor reception makes women horny.
