NEW! Eli Manning And Tony Romo Replace Rob Lowe In DIRECTV Campaign
- by Amy Corr @MediaPostOTL, August 10, 2015
Awkward Rob Lowe alter-egos are out and the sad sack doppelgangers for Eli Manning
and Tony Romo are in, promoting DIRECTV and its NFL Sunday Ticket promotion. When it comes to humor, I'm giving the edge in the first round of ads to Eli Manning; for creepy factor,
Romo wins hands-down. Manning's alter-ego is a stand-up comic who subscribes to cable. His outfits and hairstyles are outdated, just like his cable TV. His jokes, however, aren't that bad. See it here. Romo's other half loves arts and crafts and outdated television. His papier-mache projects are sub-par --
but I'd eat his brownie/cupcake combination anytime. Watch it here. Grey NY created the campaign.
