oh my goodness, same hair style, same slightly chubby face, same grin, same lines around the face. Same slightly chubby build, It appears that the Dan the Installer doll was modeled on Earl.

What picture of Earl have your seen? You're either being very polite, or haven't seen Earl.

That's just...ummm...a little twisted...

Is this "Dan" character supposed to be popular from like, DirecTV commercials or other advertising? I didn't think anyone bothered making bobbleheads unless the person being characterized was well known...

They Should have used Patrick from all the training videos, or maybe Dan is the bad installer in the videos. LOL

But seriously, where can I get one.

I can't tell. Is he is giving the thumbs up, or is he giving the "there's no where I can hang this thing and I am out of here" motion?

I think it is the thumbs up, because he has already assembled the dish.

I think you will need to check with Dan, he seems to be the only one authorized to install them
