DirecTV: Questions

I've posted some Cannes awarded Direct TV commercials bases on a ripple effect (1, 2, 3), but this new one, from Grey NY,  is a bit different. And it is a marvelous one. I'm not saying that because I'm a fan of John Cleese (well, I am), but this spot is so beautifully directed. Watch it a couple of times, at least, because Tom Kuntz managed to squeeze 23 different setups in a 30 second spot!
