Insurance companies seem slightly over-represented here

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Pfft... Meme maker didn't even include The General.

like a good neighbor, state farm will cancel your policy the first time you have to file a claim because there was a hurricane in the Midwest :)))

Yeah, I still remember that ad where he irritatingly looks at the caveman ad in the airport.

Silly ad, but I thank them for introducing me to Röyksopp! :P

I don't get it (I'm a foreigner)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

These are all the mascots for insurance companies in the US

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Difference: Ours aren't anime. They're live action. And only some of them are cute.

(I like the new Mayhem ad where the Mayhem dude is in a mascot suit of himself)

They subbed out Jake from State Farm and it'll never stop bugging me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Man fuck allstate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Y'all leave Flo the fuck alone.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 week ago

Yes, these are the same thing

Japan likes its animal mascots as well

When ads give you lemons, you send those lemons back. Say, “I don’t want any of your damn lemons!”

DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH LIFE'S MANAGER

I legit want to see life's manager, this month suuuuuuuucks

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

I hate all of these because it's just insurance companies trying to grift as hard as they possibly can because insurance in the US is yet another legalized scam business.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I haven't seen an insurance ad in a decade. Who's the new Progressive dude in the pic?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's Jamie, he's the goofy one

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

... Goofier than Flo?? God help me I hope I'm never subjected to one of those commercials

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Hey, don’t shit on Jamie! Shit on the company that forces the ads down your throat

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL JAKE FROM STATE FARM

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dude isn't an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Jake being bad at acting could have been a shtick

Like "Jake you're famous now! We need you to do commercials!" Jake "But I can't act!"

libertery mutual, a company that is referenced in the meme, even does this with a real actor that acts like he can't act.

Jake from state farm was supposed to be a normal dude. Him not being an actor probably makes his delivery that much better

Replacing Jake with a professional actor seems wrong. It's no longer "Jake"

I don't know most of these mascots or what they're for and that makes me happy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mayhem commercials are the only decent commercials there has ever been or will ever be. I don't remember what brand they are advertising for but that's beside the point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Allstate, I think. What’s weird to me is how close the character is to the same actor’s character on 30 Rock.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Where Mr Clean tho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You forgot about all the racism, that's very culturally significant to America

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

While not wrong, Japan is an especially bad country to compare that to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Is it tho? Or is it accurate?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Hey it's not nice to call Flo an animal!

Also I've never heard anyone say that, cottonelle, puffs, charmin, coke, WWF, Camel, 9lives, and those are just off the top of my head, we have plenty.

Edit: OH, "Anime" lol I can't read. Not sure Flo counts as anime though, and tbf we don't have many anime (if we're talking about Japanese style animation) mascots, but the Brawny lumberjack and Mr. Clean are animated as are many other things.

[–] janus2 6 points 1 week ago

to be fair Flo is probably an animal in bed
