"Reached the end" advert

This popped into my head today; I'm not sure what caused me to think of it:


It's a 2002 television commercial for DirecTV's DSL Internet; I remember seeing this advert during its run. The notion of somebody reaching the "end" of the Internet was funny back in 2002 but now, given the Internet's size and how widespread high-speed access is, it seems ridiculous!

Again, I'm really not sure why I thought of it. I was glad that it didn't take me long to find it. At any rate, it's a bit of humor.

  1. I had a job long ago where a co-worker thought he shut down the internet.

    1. That would have been quite an achievement for one person! :D My family used to joke about my brother "downloading the Internet". :)

  2. LOL! I remember when we used Direct TV. Such a disaster -- whenever it stormed, we would not have TV and their customer service sucked. We're back with Verizon and have been since October 2009. :)
