DirecTV and ad agency Grey in New York put out some of the funniest ads of 2012. They kick off 2013 in amusing fashion, too, with this spot for the satellite company's Genie whole-home DVR. Tom Kuntz sticks around to direct the new ad, which posits that cable is more annoying than almost anything you can imagine—including getting sneezed into your gaping mouth by a dentist, or getting bitten by a giant turtle. Genie, meanwhile, personified by a hot girl in a skimpy dress, is more awesome than almost anything—including dirt-biking half-naked with a different hot girl who uses badass crossbow-rifles to shoot flaming arrows into the sky that explode into roaring tiger fireball heads. Apparently DirecTV will not underpromise on its services in 2013. Credits below.
