The Sky TV Commercial Gets Guys Off the Couch

The Sky TV commercial may only be 60 seconds, but in that short amount of time I guarantee it will have you laughing at least once! The commercial is geared towards women whose husbands tend to be coach potatoes. It features 60 things you can be doing instead of watching television. Some of the ideas are hilarious and some are quite sweet. The man can be seen jogging, shaving, licking the cat and declaring his love.

The Sky TV commercial was created by the advertising agency DDB in New Zealand. The ad was made to tell customers about Sky’s new “TV on your terms” where you have the ability to record, pause and rewind live TV. Wives of husbands who can’t get off the coach because "the game is on" will now rejoice over this awesome product!
