Who Is In The Directv Ghostbusters Commercial

Okay, picture this: You're flipping through channels, maybe deciding between watching another cat video or catching up on the news (spoiler alert: choose the cat video!). Then BAM! The DirecTV Ghostbusters commercial pops up, and you're instantly transported back to the 80s. But wait… who *are* those guys?
Well, buckle up, proton packs on, because we're about to bust this mystery wide open. No, not *real* ghosts, just the mystery of who's making us nostalgic for ectoplasm and catchy theme songs.
The Core Four: Still Bustin' Makes 'Em Feel Good!
Let's start with the headliners, the original Ghostbusting dream team! It's them, the original cast! You’ll definitely spot the legendary Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman. He still has that trademark smirk and deadpan delivery that made him a comedic icon. He's older but that's no big deal!
And who's that brainy, slightly awkward genius fiddling with the equipment? None other than Dan Aykroyd as Dr. Raymond Stantz! He is the heart and soul of the Ghostbusters, still radiating that lovable, slightly goofy energy. Like your favorite uncle at Thanksgiving, only battling supernatural entities.
Don't forget the level-headed and practical one: Ernie Hudson is back as Winston Zeddemore! He brought a much-needed dose of reality to the team. Plus, he looks like he could still handle a proton pack without breaking a sweat.
Noticeably absent from the original crew is Harold Ramis, who played Egon Spengler. Ramis unfortunately passed away in 2014.
New Faces, Familiar Feels!
The commercial isn't *just* a reunion tour for the original crew. There are some fresh faces thrown into the mix. Think of it like adding a new flavor to your favorite ice cream – still delicious, just a little different.
Alongside the original cast is also some notable new faces. This includes actors like Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace. Both are reprising their roles from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. These two young stars bring a whole new generation to the ghostbusting game.
Who’s that familiar face behind the wheel of Ecto-1? It's Annie Potts as Janine Melnitz! From answering phones to offering sarcastic quips, she's always been the unsung hero of the Ghostbusters operation. It's great to see her back in action, proving that secretaries can be cool too!
Why This Commercial Works
So, why is this DirecTV commercial so darn catchy? It’s not just the nostalgia factor, though that definitely plays a huge role. It’s the perfect blend of old and new, a celebration of a franchise that's captured our imaginations for decades.
The commercial reminds us of a simpler time when all we needed was a proton pack and a witty one-liner to save the world. It's like comfort food for the soul, a reminder that some things just never go out of style. I like the commercial!
It is also a way to promote DirecTV. By tapping into our love for Ghostbusters, they've created a commercial that’s not only entertaining but also incredibly effective. Well played!
So next time you see that DirecTV Ghostbusters commercial, you'll know exactly who's who. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the nostalgia trip. Who you gonna call? Well, maybe DirecTV if you want to watch more commercials. Just kidding! (Mostly).
