TBT: Rob Lowe Kicked it With Cleatus for Fox NFL Sunday Ads

We wish we were throwing it back to Skinny Arms Rob Lowe (RIP), but everyday handsome Rob Lowe is still good to look at, especially in these funny ads for Fox NFL Sunday. So while Lowe is done as the spokesperson for DirecTV, Lowe starred in a handful of ads directed by Hank Perlman at Hungry Man to show his approval of Fox as the best way to watch Sunday football.

In the spots, Lowe hangs out with Cleatus, the giant robotic mascot of Fox NFL Sunday; pulls up a hologram of New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin and then one of himself; and contemplates the flight of eagles. All of which really just begs the question of how do we get our hands on a hologram machine?! The ads are a little strange, but they’re entertaining. Mostly, we’re just happy football is back—no matter which channel you decide to watch it on.
