Has to be the black Jake from State Farm. I’m doing my part by boycotting all State Farm products till this geek is gone
-
Least shocking post of the day.
-
Those commercials do suck
-
I like Jake from State Farm.
I find the “we will rock you” (Chevrolet?) commercials annoying.

Box Car Willie did not complain about the Jake from State Farm ads when it was the white guy in the khakis!
-
I don’t care whether Jake is black or white, I just think the commercials are unfunny to a level of cringe.

Pitch men that are geeks are only relatable if they are self aware that they are geeks and try to make it funny.
The black State Farm kid is a geek but he’s not funny. And his voice is terrible for commercials. It’s an unsure of himself sheepish voice. If you do a commercial, it better be a strong voice actor like the black guy that does All State. He’s a strong respectable actor to do insurance commercials.
On my hate scale I’d put these 3 advertising people:
#1. Black Jake from State Farm
#2. The geek from Silicon Valley that did the I think Verizon commercials
#3. The 2 nerdy borderline gay? Middle age white guys on the Sonic commercials
Who do these people appeal to? Woke white liberals and gays? 20% of the population at most?
Dumb

Kofi OSF OnCall or whatever ad was hilarious
-
I don’t care whether Jake is black or white
He's both, right? Hence the appeal?
-
I have State Farm. Not because of Jake. Of the 3 big auto carriers, Progressive, Geico, & State Farm - SF is by far the most antiquated. But, they had the best rate and their claim service is decent.
-
I've never had an issue on a State Farm claim. A hew roof, no questions asked. 2 car repairs, no questions asked.
My wife got plowed into a few years ago. The guy had Progressive and Progressive tried to advise us on the next steps. The repair shop told us that listening to State Farm was the right thing to do, and that Progressive tries to cut corners everywhere.
-
The white Jake is (or maybe was) an actual State Farm employee, from Bloomington. I think he worked in the call center.
-
did they finally stop the Kate Mckinnon Verizon Commercials?

The blonde nitwit? I sure hope so. So annoying.
And Geico commercials blow.

I like most of the Geico commercials, except the angry birds one.

Method acting at its finest.

Mr. Mayhem promoting distracted drivers ?

They do the best for the insurance sector but it's been downhill for them since the caveman.
-
I'm enjoying the current series of Progressive "in the future" ads, especially the one about virtual reality.

Geico has far cheaper stand alone car insurance than anyone if you’ve had 0 accidents
-
State Farm weasels out of paying liability claims. GEICO weasels out of collision / comprehensive claims.
-
that Buick commercial I just saw whining about people not watching women's sports
-
any commercial where the volume raises up 15 levels randomly so i have to lower the volume then when the show comes back on i have to increase the volume
just a viscous cycle
-
Final Four commercial showing an Illini dunking on a UNC player

The NCAA would never allow that to happen, refs would call a foul on Illini.

Mr. Mayhem needs to disappear.

Some of the Mayhem commercials have been pretty good I thought.

Yes, but the premise is stupid. What auto insurance policy doesn't protect against running into shit. That's what auto insurance is for.

Isn't that the point? They are claiming to actually cover shit that other insurance companies screw you over on.
-

They don't. They cover the same shit. If you have collision and liability coverage, and run into the back of a garbage truck, it's covered. It's stupid. They all cover it. You don't get more or better coverage from Allstate.
Now, if they want to make claims that their claims service is superior (it's not), that's something else.

That is the advertising pitch they are making however. No clue how good or bad they are. Never had their insurance.
-
While rare, i have heard some auto policies exclude so called acts of god from comprehensive. .
Another potential problem is collision or comprehensive for off road use. Sometimes adjusters will argue anything off road is not normal use.
Some will try to weasel out of liability claims by saying their client was not at fault, even though they are.

This is most geriatric turn of conversation since Nichi and Alum were bragging about the freedom of shopping in big box stores during lockdown

We need an in depth conversation on gas prices to really round it out.

It's generally cheaper at The Costco, even with ten cents off from the supermarket at Shell or BP.

Definitely. Usually 30-40 cents cheaper at Costco.
My MIL got gas at Kroger with her discount or whatever a couple weeks ago. Guess what? Got a tank of bad gas. Had to get a fuel sample and whatever else to get the car to run right again. She’s still fighting with the fuckers to get them to pay for it.

If you two, and any other recruits, wear some Greta Thunberg t shirts and yell catchy slogans about fossil fuels; could somebody record it please ?

I’ll have to get ahold of you next time I go up that way to visit my mom. We can meet up at the Kroger to get some food 😂

Cherry Tree Shopping Center?

There's a pretty good Chinese place in that shopping center. And a Monicals.

I got gas at Woodman’s for $3.99 a few days ago. At least .40 cheaper than anything I’d seen in two weeks.

Now that’s funny.

I should be surprised that they are monetizing someone quitting on her team in the Olympiad.

Turns out Jake from State Farm is a bit of an asshole. Use a fucking coaster. The dude's cleaning the table right in front of you. The balls on that mofucker.

Good thing Lily didn't fall down or get hurt in that commercial with Stafford.

Rather see ads for the next season of Chad than another Uber Eats ad.

LaMelo Ball commercial with his annoying dad.

Oh the fucking We will Rock You Queen commercial with idiots driving no hands and everybody in the car beating their thighs and clapping is the worst.

Wonder if Experian is rethinking its roller coaster ad after that poor kid fell out of ride.

Yes, I mentioned it earlier. Those commercials actually get on my nerves.

I actually appreciate the Matthew Stafford-AT&T commercial. Very well done.
It does get annoying though because they show it so much.

That dude with the tats on his face and metal teeth, Post Malone or whatever, does not make we want to have a Jagermeister. And I like Jagermeister.

My kid and his mother went to see that dude when my son was a teen. My then wife was appalled at the amount of weed partakage. You have to smoke that much weed to make the music palatable.
Although, he is a decent musician. During the pandemic he and his "band" did a bunch of Nirvana covers and he handled them quite well.

Hopefully we won’t be seeing anymore Hollywood celebrities shilling for cryptocurrency in the future.

Good thing you made her sit through it. Well done.

Time to revive this thread. I'll start.
The Old Navy commercials are the worst, with Jen Coolidge. Not far behind is T-mobile with the two dudes from Scrubs (I think, don't watch it).

Not surprised you like Jagermeister. Jagermesiter was on the verge of closing up shop until Jagerbombs became a thing.

The Amazon snow globe commercial is outstanding, but man do I see it a lot. I get free credits for “watching” short ads on my golf game app. Lately that commercial makes up like at least half. I get 150 free credits per day (75 clicks). This commercial makes up half of those.

I think their commercials are usually pretty funny. But they may be running out of funny emu material.

Wow. That is a shot across the bow.
I think the first Jager shot had in years was on Dad's Weekend at the Illini Inn.
