DirecTV Commercial (2012)

Plot / Description

"Charlie Sheen" 
 
This commercial begins with a man trying to record TV shows from cable. He keeps getting the message "Recording Conflict" and gets angry. The man goes to a bar to drown his troubles and stop thinking about how frustrated he is with his cable service. While drinking his beer, he sees a neon sign for a Turkish bathhouse through the window and decides to go check it out. Upon walking inside, he meets crazy actor, Charlie Sheen enjoying one of the hot tubs. Later that night, then end up re-enacting scenes from the 80's movie, [Platoon]. One of the scenes shows Charlie Sheen ("Chris" in the movie) peeking up from behind a houseplant with a crossbow getting ready to shoot the man with an arrow. You don't want a man with tiger blood coursing through his veins pointing a crossbow at you. 
 
The moral of the story is to drop cable and get DirecTV so you don't get killed by Charlie Sheen. WINNING!
